I guess I should clarify that I'm not saying that cash is the reason why you picked certain tournament's as a Madison major. I know these tournament's you've picked put together a hell of a lot stronger competitive field than our tournament. I believe it's for that reason you've picked those tournaments. My point is cash rewards will always help bring the stronger competition over a tournament offering free beer with your buy in. I hope you don't think I'm trying to insult what you've done for the Tecmo world, and I sure hope you don't think I'm fighting for a Madison major. That was never my intention. I have a big enough headache dealing with the 30 some people I get for my event.

No worries, man. Never offended. Let's trade shirts again!

They're a Madison major that Bloomington Tecmo will never be because we will never offer cash prizes.

 

To be inherently clear, cash has absolutely nothing to do with it.

When I add the cable splitter to a TV it's not on the TV just the laptop capture screen.   Very odd.

 

Sounds like a cable or power issue since it isn't in the signal. Play musical chairs with all the cables & power supplies. Try with your laptop on battery vs power supply too.

Any more recommendations on USB capture devices?    The one  I bought has a green line down the middle that won't go away.  Does it on multiple NES systems.    Support said they don't know what it is.   Looking to buy one that works right.    

 

 

This looks like a cable/connection issue to me. Have you tried a new cable?

There is a reason everyone wants Dave F'n Murray in their Burning Mort tribe. Magic like this happens every game. It is a rare occurrence when Chet (Tecmo GOAT) disapproves and approves of the same play.

It would be nice to have no tournament overlapping in 2019.  That's the year I plan to play in every tecmo tourney.   Or a bare minimum.

For those wanting to watch the stream, It is very NSFW. I had it muted then unmuted for a sec and it was way worse. Sorry, can't support this. This is not what Tecmo is about.

The Tailback King Memorial Challenge

$25 from Team Tecmo Madison for each victory in single elim play with PHX (Max $100)

cough @regulator088 cough

If you can choose any teams, SF or GIA.

Reasons?

SF is basically broken. Strong all over the field.

GIA = great DBs and great LBs. Good running game. They matchup solid IMO.

Nah you can ask James how much that loss has been bothering me - I tracked him down at the last Madison and made him play me with the same teams and p1/p2 as when he eliminated me two years earlier. He was like "Really?" haha. We didn't get to finish the game unfortunately.

 

I'm still convinced I was at my best at my first Madison, since I stopped playing online for awhile after that. To lose to James when I was up by 7, with the ball at his 10, with 3 minutes left in the game was crushing (fumble, OT, lose with some cc's mixed in). I had the 1000-yard stare for awhile after that.

 

So my only point was that if I'm not in James' group then I may not get to play him in the tourney, depending on how the bracket shakes out.

??

Great story.

Personally I want to be in James' group since I'm 0-1 in tourney's against him. But I'm sure Tom will work it all out.

Prettttttyyyyyy sure you are shooting low as to not be in the group of death. lol

Also, what is Flo's longest run at Tecmo Madison?  Even though I'm high on Flo as a local legend, The Burning Mort crowd didn't seem to respect him as much.

 

Elite 8 (8th place) at Tecmo XII.

Flo gets the most shit from everyone because he talks the most shit out of everyone.

Flo is one of my best Tecmo friends and has the respect of everyone to the nth degree. He was my date to meet Bo after all.

As a player, sober Flo is great. Drunk Flo is even saucier.

I, for one, am not afraid of sober Regulator.* 

 

*I've also never played sober or drunk Regulator competitively, so my opinion is fairly worthless. 

Everyone should be afraid of sober @regulator088, especially @joeygats & @Coconuts .

I am just messing around.

But, really, no one will top The Kid and Flo sucks. Those are just facts.

There really ought to be a special prize if someone does sweep the most elite group of Tecmo players the world has ever seen. 

 

The Kid - Tecmo XII:

Gripsmoke ✔️

Regulator ✔️

Orenga ✔️

Mort ✔️

MattyD ✔️

Kyle Nelson ✔️

Rikster ✔️

I agree! What's most intriguing to me is the whole stick-with-one-team throughout concept. Just playing with numbers. Let's say Mort goes 3-0 and takes the Bears. Regulator goes 2-1 and takes the Lions. Gats goes 1-2 and takes the Saints. Who doesn't want to see Gats try to run the table with the Saints? CAUSE I DO. 

 

Things will get especially interesting if few or none of the groups provide players that go either 3-0 or 0-3. Then where you fall in the lottery becomes SUPER significant -- if you go 2-1 there's a roll of the dice distance from getting your first pick to getting your 10th. 

I'm trying to get there but can't. The RNG of this format is quite significant and I am not sure I would want to watch Gats 1-2 with NO as a static team. I definitely would not want to watch a Mort CHI vs Gats NO game. It would be a total slaughter while then also relying on RNG to make the matchup mildly interesting. So, the tournament outcome is RNG x RNG = ?. I am all for change and innovation but this format has far too many changes in one go for me.

Hello. I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. I stumbled across this site while searching for Tecmo Bowl tips online. This site is great. I'm 39 years old so Tecmo Bowl was a big deal for me when I was a kid. Great memories of playing with friends. I enjoy collecting retro games. I have about 15 home consoles ranging from the Atari 2600 to PS4. My very first console as a kid was a Magnavox Odyessey 2. 

I downloaded the rom for TB18. I love it and can see myself visiting this forum often.

Thanks

Welcome!

Glad to know you convinced him to move to WI so can you have a DD.

Maybe you can convince Gats to finally drink. I've tried beer, hard lemonade, hard cherry cola, who knows what else.

Magnesium is the key!

For my eyes only...

@regulator088 told me he hopes @joeygats shows up again so he can embarrass him Dallas-style because sober Reg is the LeBron of Tecmo. He also said that it doesn't matter how much magnesium @hankthetank shoves down @joeygats throat. He will destroy every supplement taking Tecmo human on the planet.
