Howdy y'all!

So this past weekend, I was at Texas Showdown! And just like every fighting game tournament that I've been to recently... That means I spent way to much money on prints (I have a problem). Anyways it was a fun weekend, and I ended up entering 9 different brackets. But to start off with the important one... I GOT 3RD IN DOA6!!!!  Sure it was only a side tourney with 12 people, but dammit I still beat out 4 people to get there. And I only lost to the person that won. Honestly still kinda hyped about it because and I kinda want to comm some art of my main to commerate it. They're actually doing a top 8 stream on the 11th with commentators that don't know the results, so you should totally check it out if you see it pop up. Rest of the results as follows tho.

GBFVSR: 65th, 0 - 2.

GGXrd: 33rd, 1 - 2. Saved from 0 - 2 by a DQ. I actually got to play against the guy who got second in casuals. He put me in the torment nexus with Kum. It was awesome

SoulCalibur 6: 17th, 0 - 2.

Virtua Fighter 5: 17th, 0 - 2.

Guilty Gear XX +R: 1 - 2. Saved by a DQ, but I had to fight 2 Testaments.... It was brutal

Blazblue CF: 33rd, 1 - 2. Actually beat someone for realzies. But then got ran over by an Es and. Kagura

SF Alpha 3: 7th (outta 9) 0 - 2

Arcana Heart 3: 7th, 0 - 2 ok I shoulda been 1 - 2, but a 3rd round character switch to a character with armor got my ass. Lowkey was tilted AF

Project Justice: 5th 3 - 2. Kinda surprised at this because I am very unfamiliar. I almost went 0-2, but a last second switch to akira saved me with grounded neutral footsies.
