    Looks like the slugfest was a good tournament? Close finals also, never heard of the guy Fergus lost to in losers though, is he well known?

    Yeah it was a fun tourney, HoG is sick.

    That guy is an up and coming player, 17 years of age, plays a lot online, really nice guy, he was very excited about the whole tourney, was pretty admirable. We played loads in casuals, need to get into the mindset that tourney sets are just casuals since I do amazing in them (and they were trying)

    Vs Dino, I wanted to try out Asuka/Lars and I guess my stubbornness got to me and I refused to switch to Jun/Julia even 2-0 down. (We had casuals later and I won like 6-0 with Jun D: )

    I had to play Fireblade from France, their best Jin and he was 2-0 up vs my Jun and I switched to Julia and ran it all the way back to 3-2 me :O

    Little disappointed with the result as I think I could have made higher, but even if it was only like 32/33 people, it was pretty stacked so I'm happy enough. I definitely recommend going to the next one.

    I've played vs a guy called DaitenJin a lot in casuals, he was easily the best player there, not sure how he lost :(

    It was a strange tourney alright. I don't think anyone would've guessed Grand Finals would've been between Phantom (Raven/Wang, Ancient Ogre/Unknown) and Bonus Jin (Zafina/Nina). Are tiers lists even relevant in EU TTT2?

    Yep, Europe is infamous for it's weird teams, especially Italy/France with all the Lei, Yoshi and Lings.

    That's because no one here knows the matchups, so weird choices are wise choices :)

    Well asides character choice, most people would have assumed on recent tourney results that Grand Finals would have been between either Daitenjin, Dinosaur, Roo Kang and/or Gus himself.

    I can say I know most matchups for all the chars for Feng/Wang. For me it's more to do with reflexes, and I don't have the finest reflexes with my lack of experience. Eg. I know Feng/Wang can punish Bear's ff+2 with Feng's f+1+2 and Wang's f+1+2. They're aren't any Bears players in Ireland or even the UK AFAIK, so I'm kinda screwed for getting IRL match experience.

    My GF prediction was DaitenJin vs Dino/Rookang.

    I can play a pretty mean Panda, I'll use her next time vs you.

    Just had some of the most hilarious casuals with Neil. :V That and Armor King/Bryan is actually a pretty interesting team. Might go with them more if I can improve on my AK.

    Oh no, you've caught the team experimentation bug. You're going to be trying other Bryan/insert character teams from now and will never be able to stick to one.

    You probably caught it from me (trying out Feng/insert char), and I probably caught it from Fergus (has tried Asuka/everyone).
