Tecmo-Mad-Brad

Good stuff!

Join us the night before the tourney for an assortment of NES/SNES games while we set up from 5-9 PM. Mainly sports and competition games with NHL 94, NBA Jam, Ice Hockey, Tecmo Super Bowl, Street Fighter 2, Mike Tyson's Punchout, etc, etc. Triple A and Collegiate baseball games in Omaha the night before as well. For anyone not attending the RBI tourney, the Omaha Beef indoor football team plays that night at 6:30. Omaha has 2 arcade bars. Beercade in the Benson neighborhood and Beercade 2 just south of downtown Omaha. We're getting close to having confirmed players attending from 10 states this year. The pic below illustrates the states and years that were represented.

Yes I do. However there was 2 separate versions. Which one do you need? The first version was the cartridge released in 1989 in the usa. The 2nd version was released in 1990 in Japan for the famicom. The difference is that the famicom had roster updates and that version is used on the newer platforms such as the switch, nes mini, etc.

Tom was my opponent in the 1 game where I got absolutely annihilated.

I faced a couple nose tackle dives in an early game and successfully avoided those for big plays, but Tom S. hit me on a 4th down inside the 5 with one. Ha. That was back breaker.

Great time in Green Bay at this tourney. Troy got us involved with an original Tecmo Bowl tourney friday night. Took part in the 6 game swiss format of Tecmo Super Bowl on Saturday. Great weekend of TB & TSB. A guy in our crew won a SNES clone system, and I won a large Mcfarland Aaron Rogers figure as well. Lots of prizes given out. Definitely worth the 10 hour drive from Omaha with the crew. We packed in a trip to Lambeau for a 30 minute tour of the stadium. Excellent weekend.

Interesting topic. I really enjoy watching the streams to see the best players face off. However talking to some of the top players out there, I get the impression that its just splitting hairs as to who are the best of the best. In terms of accomplishments it might be easier to rank players based on their finishes. I believe there is some massive player data base compiled from a bunch of the tournaments from around the US.

Botton DB and top run play combo is a ploy we can Bunk Bed defense. Either position actually, and call the opposite run. Highly effective scheme from that position.

49ers for sure as the absolute best in the 1990 Japan version. Juggernaut team all around. Vikings certainly rank fairly high up with a beefed up defense, and faster Anthony Carter. They are so strong that they can still overcome the WR run play and beat most teams. Minnesota however has an Achilles heel with the worst punter in either version. 49 yards max really screws them with field position. I'd still go with NY & LT and Chicago as 2nd/3rd teams...really in either order. As for the original 1989 USA version you can make a legit case for New York, Chicago, and San Fran as the best team. However in the Japan version its clearly SF.

The 2018 event had players from 5 different states. CO, NE, KS, IA, IL. Appears we'll be adding competitors from MO & AR this year, and retaining most of the previous out of state players. Good chance we have a couple returning players from the Toronto area again this year. In my experiences, those making a long trip here tend to routinely be some of the best players at the tournaments. I've been to many different parts of the US competing in Tecmo & RBI tourneys over the years. I can say with certainty that the top players at our tournaments are as skilled as you will find anywhere else in the country. See video clips from 2018 event below.

sorry, its original Tecmo Bowl.

The initial and acceleration ratings really are key. My buddy will look at players top speed and ask why I rarely use "player X", because hes got good speed? Its often because a bad initial or bad accel rating really negates his top speed in key situations.

Purpose of this thread is to help people add each other for Tecmo Bowl online play. Maybe we could turn this into a league or something. Post your code, and your username would also help to know who is being adding. I have my code tweeted on twitter frequently, so I get a lot of random adds, and typically don't know if they are people I converse with regularly on twitter or just random guy who sees it. SW 4524-2482-7614 My user name ironically enough is...... Tecmo Bowl. ? I also have the switch chat app on my phone

Ive played and won as Indy vs MIN in that version in Championship game and holy hell it was the hardest thing ever. I took a legit 6 losses in a row before I could win that match up. Keith Millard fucking erases your O-lineman in 1.2 seconds. And then steve jordan is a man on steroided up crack. One mis-step and he annihilates your defense.

Is anyone putting a version of TSB 2019 onto a cartridge this year? The guy from Canada who has put roms onto carts in the past apparently is not doing it anymore. Does anyone else do that?

CHI pounds the 9ers. San Fran is one of the hardest offense to master, when you have to play vs really skilled guy (ie: not random joe's off the street). To Ben's credit in these last couple videos, this is his first time facing me with Miami and San Fran. These are teams we've gotten really good at shutting down. He'd played random guys and had a lot of success with MIA/SF, but he got an education here on why they are tough to win with.

Indy vs Miami. Sometimes this match-up is a deal where neither defense is equipped to stop the other team. Played some text book D with Indy, and the guy controlling Miami was nearlyu sharp enough to hang in there. Eventually Eric Dickerson wrecks the Miami D, and that's that!

This is a beat-down put on LA who was controlled by a pretty good player.

Cleveland vs Dallas Some late Gerald McNeil kick return antics make the finish to this game a bit more interesting that it should have been.

With a lot of tournaments going on, we've been focused on just 89 USA Tecmo. I'm itching to conclude our 7th season though which is a USA/Japan mix.
