Tecmo XII Preview (Diaz Region)

Recommended Posts

DISCLAIMER: The numbers next to each player posted below are derived using an SRS iterative method from past tourney results. I used only the last 3 Madison tourney's with the following weightings (10%, 40%, 50%)  There are no subjective adjustments. They are merely ONE TOOL in evaluating a players past madison performances and relative skill. They can be thought of as the average number of points a player would beat an average Madison participant based on past results. 

 

A couple examples of ratings from 3 different players over the last 3 tourneys. 

 

low to high (-3.9, 12.3, 16.0) 

Consistent (14.0,13.8, 12.2) 

high to low ( 17.2, 13.1, 9.5) 

 

But appease the Tecmo Gods and ye may be rewarded with glorious endzone to endzone JJ's.  Anger them and feel their fumble wrath destroy your tecmo hopes!

Diaz Region

Group 17- Josh A (Coconuts) has made it to back to back elite 8's and came oh so close to winning it all last year getting elminated  13-10 in a very close championship game vs tecmopsycho. He recently took home the tundra bowl 3 championship and gave regulator all he could handle in the online thunderdome tourney where an unlucky fumble wrecked what would have been a win. Travis R (Pug Life)  looks to be the only threat as he made it out of pool play as the 2 seed last year before losing in the round of 32. 

 

Group 18-  Matt M (Ones11fahzu)  brother of Regulator and tourney veteran made a nice run to the elite 8 after two straight years of failing to reach the round of 16 where he lost 2 games by a total of 4 points to skunker and daboys. His ball control style is always tough to play against. Tim U (The UnKnown)  became "known" after knocking off Mort 24-21 in Tecmo X in the round of 64. He made it out of group play last year as the #2 seed only to get shut out by joeygats. Peter B (Gridiron)  made it out of group play last year as the 2 seed before falling by 14 to Manyo360. He has online experience as well and may have played ones before in league play. His tapping could prove to be a challenge for Matt. 

 

Group 19- Local player Jeff B is hoping to make a deep run like he did in Tecmo IX where he made it to the elite 8 and went 2-2 falling to Chet and Daboy.  There may be some lsight rust as his last game has a loss to O'delle in the round of 64 in Tecmo X. The always entertaining Joey S (Dr.Frolf) did not make it out of pool play last year but made it to the round of 64 in Tecmo X as a 2 seed before getting knocked off by yours truly. 

 

Group 20-  Bad luck to write about your own group so someone else can do it. 

 

Group 21-  This looks like a group that is waiting for a number 1 seed and number of guys who could make a run at the # 2 seed including an experienced online original rom player making his first Madison appearance Eamon B.  Kris S (Sammie Smith) has come oh so close to getting out of group play the last 2 years Losing by 3 pts to Adam G. (Garbage) and Lamefest by 3 pts. Maybe this will be the year he gets to bracket play.  

 

Group 22- This group features two time champion Jim B (Air Bontempo) whose rating gets dragged down by one of the more shocking events of Tecmo XI. After making it to the Elite 8 in Tecmo X, Jimmy went 1-2 in group play and was elminated. No doubt he will be looking to get that bad taste out of his mouth this year. Online player Bo J. (TecmoBo) made his first Madison appearance last year and did wellgoing 3-0 in group play before losing a 3pt gam to player121xk in the round of 64.  

 

Group 23- Nathan M (Retro4ever) owner of retro4ever.com  nad hoster of the Tundra bowl looks to be the cream of this group as he has made it out group play as the #2 seed the last two years only to lose badly to Sconnieale and Luke C. Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not sure who the #2 seed is her as it seems to be up for grabs based on who is left in the group. 

 

Group 24 - This a tough top group at the top. Luke C (Them Crooked Fulchers) has had a strong point differential by dominating  group play the last 3 years but has come up short in getting to the elite 8 losing close games to final 4 player daboys in rd of 32 Tecmo IX,  VikingMoe in the rd of 64 in Tecmo X, and 3pt loss  to elite 8 participant Ones. Final Fntasy speedrunner record holder (at one time) Russel S (Kweh 11) elite tapping plaus skill makes him a tough out as evidenced by his strong performance in Tecmo X where he almost fnished his group as the 1 seed but made it out as the 2 before getting pummeled by skunker.  Rust may be a slight factor be he has been playing recently to work it off. Online player Storksdaman will be making his first Madison appearance and is an X factor and could give the top 2 seeds in this group a scare.

There's a Dave guy, he seems pretty good. One of the tournament organizer guys in the group, he'll probably receive some kind of backhanded help from Chet Goodell. A North Dakota guy is in the group, so it might be loud. A Madison tournament veteran is in the group, so at least there's some quality players. Some other people are in the group too. 

 

This will all end up on the stream probably. Two people from this group will advance.

Group 20-  With only elimination loses to known entities in toolie and coconuts, Dave B (Bruddog) has for the most part lived up to the online hype and is looking to translate that into a Final Eight and beyond appearance at Madison. He's likely the #1 seed in the group over tournament manager John B (QB Browns) who hasn't been able to escape double elim lately. Jim P. (Pinch-o-Golic) has a career vitctory over 8-Bit.
