  1. Quick recap from a shot out short term memory -Pool play was goodtimes w/ all NE fellas that I know from other tourneys, Shard outs to Coach c, J.C., and Tom C. 3-0 ATL/NO, and I can't remember the other 2 matchups. -Posted 255 yards w/ Rison in the bonus game worth a cool $50. 1st drive all runs w/ Hillard and scored, got a stop in own territory and then came the Rison Bombs. Good tourney addition. -1st game in bracket DEN v SD vs Anthony who was playing awesome (probably should have beat Mort in pool), i threw pick w/ BJT on opening drive and SmElway returned the favor in my endzone w/ misthrow int, DEN played well but never recovered from the devastating turnover. -2nd game Jim T. (Anthonys homie) called CHI RAI and "give me Bo and sure I'm gonna take him" MattyD Quote. I scored on opening drive, then CHI Qb threw a JJ INT to Eddie A on 1st play from scrimmage, and w/ i think 2 fumbles my way things never got better for CHI. -3rd game vs Lenny from the Cod who was absolutely red hot, scalping many tecmo vets on the day (Lenny got ROY award, and if he stuck around would have gotten MVP probably too for his big knockouts). I called Pitt TB looking to slow down his momentum and it worked, unfamiliar w the matchup call he went w his gut and took Pitt D but struggled to put enough points up w/ that brutal Pitt O. Was pretty close game but TB pulled away in 2nd quarter and never let Pitt back in it. -4th game v Rantarro for winners bracket final I called Pitt PHX having just watched him skunk Merliss in same matchup. I was confident Pitt D was shorted in their matchup and had some overdue karma which proved to be the case as they pitched a shut out vs the Cards, and had a fumble rumble TD I believe. -Finals game 1 v Merliss, I decided to stay on the Pitt train and called Pitt Dal classic matchup and that coin toss was the only thing that went my way in this one. 4 punts in succession started this one. But it was the key plays on both 1st possessions that really took me out of it, JJ bomb to Hoge doinked on 1st drive, then a short check down drop at midfield followed by big called play for a loss taking Pitt out of FG range on 2nd drive really had me on tilt bc Pitt doesn't get 2nd chances. Arn continued the soul reads calling probably at least 33% of plays that half. W time for 1 play left I blitzed w/ Noid to hurry the throw and limit the JJ potential but blew up amature style after I clipped a lineman, then Noid got a nice view as the hammer dropped on the bomb for 7 just before halftime. 7-0 DAL w/ them getting ball seemed insurmountable and it proved to be. Dal broke a couple runs in the game but not many, one I know was a run 1 for a score, and a couple 20+ yard passes, otherwise Pitt D did the job but the O never got off the ground, maybe had 2 or 3 1st downs total. 17-0 final i think and the Pitt faithful felt that one. -Grand Final (after a talkin' to from uncle tadaos about needing to call BUF NYG, "they got the weapons see") I called PHX DAL and Merliss took DAL, I was glad bc nobody wins back to back games w/ LVP. To his credit Tadaos point of needing weapons if you get behind was right and Pitt doesn't offer you much aside from the occasional punt fumble rumble, but I fell Johnny Johnson TBK is all the weapon I'd need v Dal. Great game out of the gate PHX gets a stop then Dal called some plays again i think punts again. Anyway PHX would mount a drive next possession, then DAL put a drive of their own together tie it up. Every score was answered w/ a score. Biggest play of the game was Dal 4th and 7 just before midfield down 7 and brass balls Merliss went for it and pulled the ol' bait and bomb over the head of Ken Harv caught in no man's land between TE/RB1 on Redgun pass4, perfectly executed dagger. Adding to his prowess LVP tossed a Marino esq dart corner to corner to TE fill in who ever the fuck ever on R&S pass 1 in bottom of endzone that score had PHX scratching their heads as the Cowboys looked more like the mid 90s then the tecmo versions. In the second half conditions favored both teams but Wolfey in exc and TBK in good gave PHX much needed weaponry to spread the ball around a bit more and keep Coach Merliss out of my playbook for a few plays long enough to put a couple scoring drives together. D MVP would go to Ken Harvey who after getting toasted in 1st half on arguably the most meaningful play of his career, picked himself up and on the very same play Redgun pass4 didn't bite and try to jump the short route, he played it straight up and diving INT'd LVP to misc TE for the win. Aikman gets Offensive MVP for connecting w/ a PHX defender when it meant the most. Was like a scooby do ending where Aikman pulled off his Marino mask and was like I really had you guys going there.. GGs Everyone. Big thanks to Merliss for putting on another great tourney and continuing to up his host game, great prizes, etc.

I had to go and screw everything up by making finals of Tecmo as we had 2 mega man 2 races planned plus for first time ever a “backwards” race where you start ea level and go as far as can then back to the beginning of the level then race to the finish. - next year on that ..

  6. Week 4 from the season stream follows. This one is a battle of the 2 guys that were there at the end of the very first Seattle Tourney (that I know of) . Me and @manYo720 (Stu was 3rd there as well fyi). Maaaaan! I am soooo thankful for Manyo. He really got things kickstarted tourney wise in the PNW (Honorable mention to @SirTed) The genesis of CFT also emanated from Manyo's cerebral cortex. He is my tecmo bro like no other and I'm so happy he has gotten to experience CFT 2 and 3 as mostly "just" a participant, as he fully deserves to just show up and play and enjoy. We also have battles. We're fairly even in tapping, which is a battle in and of itself. And we both got squads here that fit our personal tecmo talents ( Manyo with Elway, a Speedy RB and WR in Barry and Mel Gray, and Dick Dick with a little Lurch Nelson thrown in, and me with a reliance on ridiculous HP like Rathman and LT and a high PS guy like Bubby with Speedy WRs and a solid running game aided by conditions) As this part of the stream begins, you see some of the eye candy we get, using the rom as it behaves just like a OG cart with season stats and player cards and standings and rankings all available to peruse. You get the beginning of Tick's Bengals vs Stu's Bears and the end of the OT affair between TBK's Cards and PTitteri's Broncos. Heard amidst the chaos... TBK stating that B Buttons are essentially wasted on him, because passing LOL. And Tick's squad on offense were all either in Excellent or (and mostly were) in Bad. This game between me and manyo was not the greatest. I turned the opening kickoff into a safety with some playcalling and fortunate tecmo rolls (bouncing grapples and not getting bounced myself). He continues to show a propensity to NAIL long JJ's to the Bo's and Barry's of the world. And our in game banter reeks of just the ultimate respect and experience as we've played each other a TON over the years. Enjoy that! And now, here are all the week 4 box scores. Players of the Week were Roger Craig (I didn't realize he balled out as much as he did) and Mike Gann (not the most exciting of weeks for Defensive Stats)

  7. For the wild card, you have to change which team is the first in each conference but you also have to change how many teams are in each conference or how many are to be sorted or some such thing. The playoff code works as such. (Each conference is sorted separately and you can have more than 2 conferences if you want) The division winners are determined The division winners are sorted The division winners are placed in the brackets The game takes all of the other teams as determined by the code (this is where your problem is occurring) and sorts them for the wild cards The wild cards are determined The wild cards are placed in the brackets Your rom needs some of the parameters for the wild card sorting changed. I will try to find my notes and take a look at it. I still plan to make a playoff editing guide at some point in the future but have not had a chance to yet, but it is in my good intentions pile.

  8. All right! Week 5! This one brings the two Turtle Van Vets @~Tailback King~ and Chalky White battling and it features not only the Hidden Stats of one Johnny Johnson, but also the hidden stats of one Rodney Hampton! We start with some of the fellas talking about that one playoff game that TO almost blew for the 49ers and then won it and cried tears of joy, all while the eye candy that is our rom (at least to me) is on display in the pregame including a peep at Ron Mexico, the keeker for Chalky White's Saints (his punter was The Octagon). Then this happened... Let me tell ya something. Johnny Johnson has a propensity for letting Rudy down whenever he is on the big stage... and this game is another example...Chalky showed some absolute skillz with Rodney Hampton, who I was surprised just like Rudy, that he was on the field instead of OJ Anderson. No matter, Chalky can chalk this one up to him, making the rivalry 501-500. Rudy's language here is very familiar to me, because this game played out just like ALL of our games do (except one, and I was just short of puking and rallying when I lost that night, and eventually WON the day AND night of that Mayhem double decker. Rudy! Ya need to get ya passing game on point bruh. Like at least manageable. You will not regret it. As always, here are the box scores from week 5 along with the Players of the Week. Later tonight (hopefully) I'll stream a dive into the rom (standings, conditions, stats, rankings and the like) at the midway point of the season after all teams have 5 games in the books and I'll post that in this thread as well. @manYo720's dominated the Player of the Week for Week 5. Not only Barry, but Lurch Nelson had our one and only INT TD of the season. Good Times!
