The Akahoshi Memorial Tournament Aftermath

The Akahoshi Memorial Tournament concluded yesterday with an unexpected winner! Khairi (^^), our legendary Malay player who has just returned from Japan and climbed his way to first place! Whether his powers which allowed him to clench victory was derived from wearing his 'Kamen Rider' mask, sporting his newly re-bonded hair or from his Malay origin we will probably never figure it out.

Second place goes to Zio with his power of love and Third place goes to Jae who eliminated Chichiboy, whom was shocked that Jae was knocked out by Malay in the first place. For Chichiboy, all of a sudden Third placing actually seemed difficult to achieve!

Props to all the players who participated. Photos will be uploaded soon so keep a look out for them either in our Twitter or on this blog. Thanks for listening to my lousy commentary attempts and for participating! Thanks to all those who bought the awesome LIMITED EDITION Akahoshi T-shirt! Thanks also for keeping the good distance away from the machine!

And finally, thanks to Iluma for making all this possible.

BlazBlue 2v2 Tournament Clinic Aftermath

First of all, thanks to everyone who made their way up here instead of going straight home and the handful of veterans also came up to spare a few tips or two to the newcomers. I expected it to become more of a console session than a 'clinic', but it, in the end, accomplished what it's supposed to do. Oh yes, thanks to Jonda and Vx especially for dropping by and generating hype. Wouldn't be the same without you guys.

It was a little messy, a little squeezy, but we couldn't ask for more. Even though we allocated a timing for everyone to be in the room, even though some 'illegally' remained, we are happy just because everyone is gracious enough to let the others have a chance to play. Shoutouts to Mizzet and Icecube, I can FINALLY talk to you all in a better, quieter and 'happier' environment...


It was only 3 hours, but it sure was tiring, possibly due to our lack of sleep. All the questions flying towards us were constructive and generally hard to answer in a short period of time. Questions like "How to use Tager to fight XXX?" or "How to get XXX into corner with Jin?" requires lots of matchup experiences and are too general to give a short answer. BUT most of the questions asked are good questions. I was actually afraid of people throwing annoying questions to me like "How to get Litchi's pole to hit the 2nd time in XXX combo?" but thankfully there wasn't.

A lot of you guys are generally good, just needs more experience so that you guys can get your combos and hit-confirms down. Also generally, everyone needs to mash less and block more. This applies to everyone I see in the clinic. Too many times you guys get counter-hit for no good reason.

Also, I'm happy to know that there are actually people who read the guides posted on this site. Jae and I came up with this site, and were worried about the potential traffic heading to it. I was honestly surprised when some of you guys went 'Oh he's Zio, he made the Hakumen guide on the WEBSITE'. This gives us incentive to continuously post more stuff here, to ultimately make a the one website for Singapore Blazblue players to drop by.


So thanks to all the participants for making me hogging my X360 all the way to Iluma worth it. I hope you guys had an enjoyable time, although I have no idea what's going on downstairs. If you guys have any complaints I hope you guys wrote it in the Limited Edition Feedback Form. STOP LYING TO THE FEEDBACK FORM OMG. Otherwise, forget it, bear no grudges and wait for the next event.

Please do visit the forums. Stop lurking now that you know us. We won't bite, much less eat you. More posts means more organizing needed means we might actually have our character sub-forums. Again, thanks for coming to the tournament AND not forgetting Arcadia for making all these very possible. Your immense and willing contribution for the community will not be forgotten.

2v2 Tournament Random Teams Results

Hi guys, the 2v2 tournament random teams have already been generated and will be posted below. If you wish to raise any questions AT ALL, again I urge everyone to please post at the Round1.sg BBCS tourney thread HERE.

Please do your best to contact your partner to discuss strats, have a practice session or even just chat about common interests (highly likely you guys have one). PM him/her, get their MSN, phone number, whatever. Just talk to them and become friends. Even if you just have a 5 mins conversation online, it's still better than nothing. Doing so would hasten the growth of the community and we would very much appreciate that.

So without further ado, here are the teams:

If you wish to change teams, please go to the Round1.sg forums and PM 'kuni' ASAP. Otherwise, the bottom line is:

- If you are grouped with a stranger, make friends with each other. 2v2 in fighting games is NOT all about solo play. The idea is to spot each other's weaknesses and try to build onto it during practice. The idea is to spot an opponent's weakness/pattern and tell your partner about it. The idea is to make you stronger in 1v1. And the cycle continues.

- If you are already grouped with a friend, make better friends with each other. Again I emphasize that 2v2 is not all about solo play.

- DON'T BE LATE!!
