I apologize for not taking photos during the tournament. I was so enraptured with playing the game, that it didn't even occur to me. So, I've included pictures of all of the players I could find. Accompanying them is a brief description of how and who they played. If there is anything I left out, please tell me. |
Matt
The second most challenging opponent of the group. He was "imported" to
Davis with Rachel and Ben. His favorite character seems to be Jun. He's
got a thing for her 3-ring circus, and can string together some mean punches
from her infinite combo. He was the only player to beat me (Marianne) during
the tournament. His only losses were to me and once or twice to Rachel.
Ben
Third in rank of the night. He swapped between playing Jun and Paul.
Although he pulled off some fantastically long combos with Jun, he didn't
seem to be able to beat his compadre, Matt, too often. He's a solid player,
and gave Melissa and Bill heavy competition. He can't dodge lasers worth
beans though, and Rachel took advantage of this.
Rachel Barnett
Probably the luckiest button-smasher in the group (and my best friend for
over a decade). Her favorite character is the Angel. She manages to
consistently use grabs and annoying eye lasers well enough to take down
even the most competant of Tekken players from apparently random chance.
She beat just about everyone once or twice...except me, of course.
;)
Bill Kendrick
This is the man who addicted me to Tekken. He's on par with Melissa, his
girlfriend, though perhaps a bit better. He chooses to use the
original newbie character, Law. Although he didn't play much during this
tournament, he beat Melissa and Remington when I was paying attention.
Andy Steinhauer
Although Andy hasn't played Tekken for ridiculous amounts of hours, he
picked up fairly quickly near the end. He has the potential to be a
mean opponent, given some time and practice.
Marianne Waage
Although I may be a bit biased, I was the best player at the Tournament.
My favorite character is Michelle, but I enjoy using Jun, Paul and Nina
for their style and, importantly, their reversals. I've spent obscene
amounts of time learning the game, and have a good knowledge of the blocks
required against many of the combos. I trounced everyone there, with a
loss or two against Matt.
