It was stated at the beginning of the Honbasho that 40 points will get you Yokozuna status, and if I won, those 8 points would get me to said Yokozuna status. Needless to say I was extremely PUMPED!. Then some things happened, but like the great Konishiki who was the reason I got into sumo back in the 80's I was able to secure Ozeki. Banzai!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the first ever Bronx Bowl! The top finishers were: 1) Bo O (@oklahoma) 2) Chris B (@Barletti) 3) Matt D (@MattyD) 4) Patrick B (@PatrickB1008) There were some crazy draws overall. Here was the full draft order: When it was their time to draft, players with 6 pts got to pull three teams, players with 4 pts two teams, players with two points one team. You then had to choose which of the teams from the ones you drew that you wanted. If you didn't want any, you got one more pick, but you had to stick with that pick. Here's the results. Scroll to the right to see the bracket: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13y4MsqzgIhcWqrbbBav9hLl9ObspxMas675H0sITdfk/edit?usp=sharing I'll post my recap soon. In the meantime, check out the Facebook page for photos: https://www.facebook.com/NYTecmo/ Congrats to Bo and thanks again to everyone for coming out!

Pluses and Minuses y'all. +Most of us have our go-to matchup calls so it was cool to see some different games in the mix. +Regular season with conditions and injuries +Playoff atmosphere +The PNW Ranking. I'm excited to compile the updated standings. +The Banzuke will be a great addition to the PNW Museum we hope to build in Kamp's garage someday. +The Sumo Wrestling and Huskies tapes I found at Scarecrow Video +Peter going 3 for 3 with winning the prizes, which were an NES, SNES, and GEN game, despite not owning any of those systems +Katy and Bleachers Pub -Did not expect there too be so many lopsided matchups in the playoffs. Jets made the damn Superbowl in one sim. WTF. -There were some other unforeseen weird things that crept up in the playoffs. -Trying to explain the high concept ass format in general. -It still went until 10 something. I really was trying to get it through by like 7 something. The next one will be structured in such a way to give us a better chance. -Four games featuring San Francisco. San Fran 4-0 with three knockouts. Meh. -Scarecrow switching out the 1988 Seahawks Season Review video for "Eleanor In Her Own Words" -The assdick who played "Strokin" on the jukebox, I shit you not, 3 times in a row while I was getting worked over by Gripsmoke Well, I have TWINS coming in April so when will the next one be? Impossible to predict! I do think there was a lot to build on with this one and a lot of lessons learned. It's a weird feeling to win when you are the organizer, but this is my first one in six tries so fuCC y'all, I was due! Sanyaku, bitches. Thanks everyone for contributing to a fun day, Special shout-out to @kamphuna8 who supplied about half the gear, ran the stream, and was crowned the very first Ozeki in PNW Honbasho History!

I love my new rank, obviously in honor of

Awesome time and loved the format. Was very happy to go 2-1 in a pretty tough group and picked PHX and DAL. Took the gamble and threw them back and picked CLE. Yikes. I had beaten Barletti in a NO/JET matchup in pool play but he drew PHI, I kept it to 7-3 at the half but he pulled away in the second half. He almost went all the way and lost in a classic OT game against Bo’s Packers in the championship. Winning it all with GB is damn impressive, mad props to @oklahoma. Thanks to Brian for running a great tournament, this one was a lot of fun. Between this, NYC in Oct, and LI Retro you’ve put in some serious work for us NE Tecmoers and it’s much appreciated. Always great to see the usual NE suspects too. Congrats @PatrickB1008 on a great run to the final four! Happy for you man. Hope we do this again next year it was a blast.

Harsh but fair. Depreciation is a bitch!

Updated PNW Rank! @kamphuna8 35 @DT. 24 @gripsmoke 20 @Tick 16 @invader_star64 14 @XtraLargent 14 @fairfensheeding 13 @ptitteri 13 @boogiewithstu 10 @manYo720 9 Joey B 7 @~Tailback King~ 5 @SirTed 4 JBrooks 2 @moonwalk 2 @mort1237 2 Shermy80 2 Neckbeard 2 @The1991Huskies 1 @red98sethuthut 1 @SuperSonics 1 What changed? I got 8 pts for the W. Grip, Kamp, and Pete all got 4 for 2-4th finishes. Tick, Joey, Wagg, Vader, and James Brooks was here all got 2 pts for 4th-8th and Loser's Bracket winner for James. Depreciation! Pts earned from the Seattle Championship September of 2017 were all cut in half. Pts earned from PNWTC 5 July of 2016 were all cut in half, 4-8th totals earned from that tournament were removed entirely. PAC RIM II from 2014 is now a distant memory of Tecmo Times past. Sorry Vader! -Kamp misses out on Yokozuna (40 pts, lifetime top 4 status) He would have been a 2nd-4th place finish away but he lost 1 pt on depreciation. The very best he can do is get to 39 as his 8 pts from Portland II will turn into 4 after the next tourney. Man. So close. -Similar circumstances will prevent me from having a chance to achieve Ozeki status (30 pts, top 4 status as long as total pts do not dip below 10) -Tick, who I had at 3rd here earlier, then taunted unnecessarily, I later found was actually 5th, so he moved up a spot... It would have been poetic for him to knock me off Saturday, but he had three chances and thrice was rebuffed. Hey Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes. -Shout out to James for getting 2 pts and leapfrogging about six guys and countless others who never recorded a pt! Pete, get this kid an account on here! (reads end of previous bullet point) Eh, that can wait I guess... San'yaku for next Honbasho! (order of most recent champs) 1. DT 2. Kamphuna 3. QB Fairfield 4. Ptitteri Makuuchi 5. Gripsmoke 6. Tick 7. InvaderStar (next up for Sanyaku) 8. XtraLargent

@kamphuna8 Well done. Everyone needs to up their recap game! (also their Tecmo game)

I have thoughts. First off, it was great to get back to hanging and playing with the fellas. Ultimately, this is what I look forward to the most. I really enjoyed the format, up until the choices for the playoffs got real cheesedicky. Here's a recap of my day. Spent most of Friday ( a day off ) working on the stream setup and overlay. The sound on the stream was fine but my laptop had some kind of Sound error for output that ended up having me spend hours on it until late in the night when I quit and watched the end of day 14 of Hatsu Basho 2019, and then the incredible Women's final in the Aussie Open . In bed late. Wake up and already had most everything packed but still got off to a late start leaving Tacoma (my bad), but I did end up bringing some larger TVs and some systems to the party. Arrive and briefly catch up with the crew while unloading the Forester. Great to see 91 Huskies, JBrooks, and GRIP again, it had been since July or before since seeing any of these fools. Sad that Stu and 6Killer couldn't make it. But I was mostly busy setting up so we could get started. Finally get set up and parked my car and now we ready to roll after DT gave some "description" as to what was going to go down. I learn that if I won I could secure Yokozuna status. This had a YUGE impact on me. Mentally tried to get dialed in and... Game 1 Week 11 vs PTitteri - I win toss and the best choices are TB DET, KC RAMS, CHI MIN, and ATL WAS. I choose DET TB and pete takes Barry. So I tried to get dialed in and... I get waxed. I lost like 17-3, and it should have been way worse. I threw 3 picks with Vinny and if not for getting a couple of fumbles, this would have been (well really it was) a total demolition. GG Pete. Game 2 Week 12 vs Invaderstar - Vader wins toss and selects DEN KC. I take DT and he's in excellent. So were the Tecmo Gods favor towards me again, this time I'm able to use their divine gifts to secure a win. Sorry about the shit luck Vader. Vader was pretty down, I think starting 0-2, but he turned this around after this game. 21-13 Chiefs, thanks to a DT blocked XP on Denvers 1st TD as well. Game 3 Week 13 vs XtraLargent - He wins and calls DAL WAS. I take Dallas and both of his QBs are in bad. I giggle and said something funny about the status of his QBs. I had a good game. DAL 21- WAS 3. Game 4 Week 14 vs Gripsmoke - I win toss and while there are some solid matchups in this round, I take WAS RAMS, a matchup I really despise. Or maybe Grip called this one? I think I called it and he picked the RAMS and Everett and Green were in EXC. I got stomped. 44 -14. Played bad and Grip OWNED. GG Game 5 Week 15 vs XtraLargent - Grip wins toss in his game vs PTitteri and calls IND NE. for once I want to win the coin toss, but XL does and he does NOT call IND NE like I request. He picks CIN MIA and I take Danny Boy. I don't remember much about this game but the final says 35 -7. I'm sure I got some cheesedick luck in here somewhere, but I was peak Donkey in my own mind at this point, playing THE SUPREME DONKEY. GG Game 6 Week 16 vs GRIP AGAIN - I'm really pissed that we play week 14 and 16 when we could have played IND NE like we ALWAYS do in Week 15, but the Torikumi did not support us this day. Of course I win the toss and there's not a lot of enticing matchups this week. Somehow I thought I was slick and picked SD MIA, really hoping that Grip would take SD, but little did I realize (because my own fault) that Butts was hurt. There's no way Grip takes SD with the uncertainty of Butts status for this game. He takes MIA and Butts DOES come back. A really tight game 17-10 late looks worse on the final score 26-10 after I got a key stop on an outtap (grip claims, I thought I had a drone stand up from losing a grapple on the line of scrimmage and help) on 4th and short where we met in the hole. I get a score and grip takes a safety. This was a key game (or so I thought) because we were both 3-2 coming in. GG Grip Game 7 Week 16 vs PTitteri - Pete wins the toss and calls KC RAI. I know I need to win this to secure a bye in the bracket, and hopefully hand Pete his first L of the day. The man was on a mission. I take KC because DT and really I won because Jay Schroeder, even in solid condition, sucks balls. Multiple wide open doinks, and I pull it out, 34-21, securing the 2 seed and a bye. Playoffs - I get winner of JoeyB vs JBrooks, and Joey handles his business with the young buck who was having a rough time. The kid did great man. But Joey is solid and so it goes. I win the toss and the options are less than stellar. THE best matchup of the 4 in the divisional round is CIN SEA. The other Options were RAI BUF, GB CHI, and WAS SF. I throw CIN SEA as I don't trust that I could stop the BILLS with the Raiders D, and despite a rocky start am able to hold on 17-10. Playoffs Rd 2 - I play grip and I'm about to lose my shit, because I won the toss and my 2 choices are SEA BUF and GB SF. After a while, I select SEA BUF before DT intervenes because we should only be in the divisional round according to his calculations. So played on a different cart THANK GOD. I have a MIA BUF option and choose it. Grip takes BUF and finds QB BILLS, and Thurmal in EXC. Reed too I think? and his LBs were on point too. I am able to get an early fumble, but Grip gets a ridonk CC to end the half tied 21 21. 2nd half I'm forced to punt and he scores and then I throw a pick to Kelso needing to score. GG BUF 35-MIA 28. I'm a little perturbed at this point because winning the toss seemingly meant losing in the most crucial part of this tourney. It happens again after I wait out Joey vs Invader. Joey pulls out the W and my choices are BUF HOU or CHI NO. I would rather not give Joey a good QB, so I select CHI NO and it pays off. It almost didn't, because Joey was still pulling some magic from an excellent Tomczak to good and excellent twins Morris and Davis WRs. I hang on for a 17-14 win. Pete had to take off because it was so late and he had JBrooks with him and had to drive back home to PTown, so I essentially got a bye past him. I played the loser of DT vs GRIP, with the chance to play the winner in the finals. We agreed on playing out on the SF HOU super bowls that were left (there were 2). I won the coin toss so DT had SF. I lost 13-7 even though I got 2 key fumbles late, there was zero connection downfield when it counted for Warren Moon, so 3rd place it was. Great time. Look forward to another Honbasho with perhaps the higher seed getting to call whether they call matchup? Or some other fix for the final rounds. I ended up packing the car and giving Grip a ride to his car and friend's spot in Burien then head home to catch the final bouts of Senshuraku of Hatsu 2019. Tamawashi wins the Yusho, his first at age 34, pretty impressive, and his wife gave birth to his 2nd child on the same day. Then I watch the Aussie Open Men's final. I stan for Rafa, but damn he was thoroughly dominated by the Djoker, probably the most impressive I've EVER seen him, and that's saying something. Great to see everyone again. Didn't get to say by to @XtraLargent so that sucked. Until July I guess? CFT! CFT! CFT! PNW TECMO RULZ!

I love it (though Edmond Honda was never my main in Street Fighter). Have you and @kamphuna8 convened the PNW Tecmo Board to see if someone has earned a promotion to yokozuna?

What a crazy day. Never could have imagined this format would have revolutionized the way I have viewed this game for so long. Can't give Brian enough props for pulling it off. Absolutely everyone enjoyed themselves. Great seeing everyone. Did long winded recap on Hoffs podcast so this will be the bare bones. Got 1 win in pool play honestly don't remember the game DEN over SD. Lost to DeGorge PIT over CLE, and Brian R. HOU over GIA to go 1-2, limiting my "team draws" to 2. Got stuck w/ GB and then ran the table, every one was a good game. GB over SEA, PIT, RAI (GG Ant), final 4 v RAMs MattyD (OT), Championship v PHI Barletti (OT). Cheers fellas. Until the next time. -If anyone has the video from any of the final 3 games please post or send them my way it's all pretty blurry at this point. Hell post any good pictures from the day as well for prosperity.

The Banzuke. Whatchu think @qb_browns ?

Congratulations to @regulator088 on becoming the first two-time Champion in Tundra Bowl History!! Needing to beat @justinpeters51 twice looked tough to say the least (JP was undefeated on the day), but Regs was able to pull back-to-back wins out to take the trophy home. A recap will come later this week. Thanks to all who came out, and to those who supported us on the stream!

Plusses: The tournament format was cool as hell! Nice job and good organization. Minuses: no Mac and Jacks

1st @DT. 2nd @gripsmoke 3rd @kamphuna8 GGs. See you all soon hopefully!

Yes. The NES Classic Edition skips the 'no sprite limit' hack that is causing that. There is no way to get into the emulator and enable these things I am assuming on your hand held. Glad you are enjoying the ride !

Kevin was practicing and won 4 of the 8 events and i took 2nd at Paperboy

Nice Video breakdown, I'll be watching this while pretending to parent all weekend. Hope to make it next year

If anyone is interested in playing NBA Jam TE on Sega I'd be more than happy to layout the challenge on Friday night. Can't guarantee but I'm sure @Green Majik might be willing to take on a few comers as well.

Alternate cover design. Might be last update until after the game. Will touch up the entire roster and some more things then. It's been a fun ride, thanks for the downloads and the input !
