[jaiwhite205]

so nostalgic



[jOeYBMeW]

bunch of grown ass men going to arcades and playing video games till they die ... WOW FUKING LOSERS NEED TO GET LAID.

[ArmenianAssassin]

@jOeYBMeW lmao guys who cant get laid get good at video games to fulfill a false sense of accomplishment

[MaxPDavies]

Legend of the orange sweatshirt. I remember that from Dr Z podcast. Sextaro fanboy for life.

[akumazilla]

YES! There's a TEAM SAMOA! Sweeeeeet

[Zealouz1]

cuz SFIV is a garbage game?

[katsuranomaly]

And 3s isn't?

This guy's got jokes for days.

[tskitz]

why are people still playing sf 3 rather than 4?

[kingaraes]

i give you street fighter pros props you guys are so much more humbale then us mlg pro's

[sniperclown]

hey its alex valle i wish he play more 3s

[kodata666]

gootecks is a sexy mutha fucka

[TyRiders2]

Hey Gootecks might you be coming to Omaha, Nebraska when our tourney begins? 'Cause it would be great if we saw you?

[saltfilter1]

man alex put on weight or something

[LilevilWC3]

ED MA !!

[sassuru]

Man, I thought the great Mike Watson was black...

[meatflowers]

hey gootecks that was really you fighting vs dyne's 12 on 2df? (urien vs 12).

if so i really would like to see dyne playing in these tourneys and stuff, he's a class act, don't you think?

[gootecks]

nope, i never play on 2df and have never heard of dyne

[meatflowers]

ah that's a shame. obviously there aren't many seriously tournament standard players on 2df. cyrox (3rd in bod last year) is one of the best i know playing on 2df. however dyne's 12 looks tournament standard and i was curious to know if that was really you he fought, since it would be a good measuring stick for his amazing 12

[Dyne]

Hey. It's me. Thanks for setting up barfights the other day, it was a hell of a scene to watch Combofiend and the rest tear down all the challengers.

As far as why this came up (thanks for the compliment btw meatflowers)

2df as you may know is a client similar to GGPO for playing games online, namely third strike. There was a dude who, for fun I guess, went on under gootecks and played along with the idea people confused him for you. Either way, both of you have really good Uriens.

[Dyne]

Lastly, I gotta upload more recent matches but if you want to kill some time, you can check out videos of my 12 in name and I plan on going to AI / Denjin frequently, so hopefully I live up to the potential 12 can bring :).

If your buddies play on GGPO, they may have seen or played me so you can kill some time spectating players there. I know some of the guys going to the regionals play on there occasionally and do just as well!

[IaIaPazuzu777]

Thats the whole point. To keep SFII scrubs where they belong. Step up or step aside.

[senpuu1440]

@jdigitalseven learn to parry bitch.

[d3f1anc3]

I wish I lived in CA sometimes because of all the tournaments that occur there... OR is non-exsistant.

[XXSTR8RYDAHXX]

least america has them, they r rare in uk and when they do happen they are always in london :(

[ch4p2]

who ended up winning each game

[joshthemyth1]

lmao fuckin mr naps in the back ground at the end gooo jimmy gooooo!!!

[konqrr]

I miss this.  Thanks for all you do Ryan.

[EBSF1FAN]

Man I cant wait to go to these, once I stop being scrubby you bet I will be playing some tournys.

[campos3452]

Since when are we aloud to smoke inside?? LOL (2:43)

[DAZ3s]

hi gootecks, i put a question on your web but i dont know where! xD the question is: what do u think will be the most playable version for SF4? 360 or ps3?

I dont know wich console buy!

PD. The SBO euro quals will be on 360.

Srry for my bad eng!

[Iamthejuan]

As a new york street fighter player I can say we're not as obese in the east coast :).

[ReNiC]

Obviously off in another world.

[clamchowder01]

My first major tournament event. It was awesome! Thanks gooteks!

[Protectobot]

'DAMN: I wonder if the Necro guy was there (big, tall Asian dude usually in a sweatshirt if I'm not mistaken). JR told me he's awesome and got 20 wins at Denjin recently (not sure when or how crowded though). He's gonna try to upload some of that guy's matches O_O I haven't seen him play since half a year ago at ffa :P

[getyourtournament]

Great tournament. Crowded as fuck but it was awesome. I'm glad I went.

[RajmanHDGaming]

Leviathan looks like the dude from 'Harold & Kumar' lol was JR Rodriguez there?

[AKUMAROSIE]

YOU CAN SEE HIM PLAYING ON THE 3rd 3S MACHINE WHEN GOOTECKS TALKED TO LEVIATHAN... :-)

[OneBigPun]

great vid to place faces to names

[biggpooch]

Where is Pyrolee ?????

The obvious question is where is 1 of the best Yun's in So Cal. ????

[two2tone]

or you mean best Yun in USA lol

[batasantk]

great vid, nice to put some faces to the big names too :D

[xxxxninjaxxxx]

lame

[Peetar]

Dude, I don't know what gamers you hang with, but out of the literally hundreds of gamers I know, maybe only 10 or so of them are really overweight. Hell, most tournament players are just regular dudes who like to game and are pretty good at it. They don't spend all day, every day playing. They just play to keep their game up and hang out with their friends.

[Zeronum2]

@Peetar I don't get where people get that assumption though. Media?

[3sstudent]

amazing footage

[XKenoX18]

Regionals were awesome. Being apart of the SoCal team was an honor!

[OGSKrew]

BEBOP with the "WTF, you serious?" eyebrow gestures is too fucking priceless, still cracking up.

:)

[m2k6000]

HAHA

i can see myself for a solid minute.

[Trakx7]

Great job, gootecks! That was fun to watch, even though I didn't know anyone there. Damn, quite the turnout for such a small place! Was this coordinated with the owner of the store? If so, perhaps the arcade should have been rearranged to... well, nevermind. No one predicted such a turnout, so... :)

[letBloodRun]

LOL at the guy lighting up a cigarette inside denjin at like 2:55

[Trakx7]

That's hilarious! lol

[SF4socal]

Good shit ryan

[KanameTousen]

Chin is missing from the info list

[dodgers2213]

lol, i always imagined gootecks as a 300 lb fat guy

learn something new everyday. Keep up the great work gootecks. I'm learning alot from your balrog!

[cactrotofrbc]

will there be footage of the tournies later?

[Trakx7]

I was wondering that, too. What's up?

[getyourtournament]

Some is on my page. More will be up tomorrow.
