Week 8 Schedule
(users on the left have the better seed)

Kruzer (1.02) vs pinkeyedtree (3.04)

Kruzer :
pinkeyedtree :

Here we are, at the final matchup! So the way this works is that pinkeyedtree has to beat Kruzer twice in order to win the tournament, that's the advantage Kruzer gets for being in the winner's bracket.

I'd like to stream this matchup if at all possible which means that all 3 of us would have to come up with a time that works for all of us for the matchup. The music stream will most likely be next Wednesday probably between 5 PM and 8 PM central time so that time wouldn't work for this matchup. Here's my potential availability next week:
Monday: 5 PM - 9 PM
Tuesday: 4 PM - 9 PM
Wednesday: 8 PM - 9 PM

My availability isn't very flexible at the moment so if you guys can't agree on a time with me then go ahead and do the matchup with just you 2.

Kruzer :
All of the times David listed work for me, so lemme know what works for you! Hopefully we can find a spot in that timeframe as I'd like too see it streamed. I'm really looking forward to our match. This is my shot to redeem myself, bwahahaha. Seriously though, hope you're ready for a couple tough bouts, I won't be holding back! (Not that I ever do really lol)

Davideo7 :
I'd like to see the match streamed, that'd be cool. Depending on the games chosen, they could be some pretty heated matches! But no matter what games are chosen, I will be bringing my A game. 

pinkeyedtree : Yes sir, this should be a fun Rematch!

Unfortunately, I'll be working during the times for Monday and Tuesday, but if it must be streamed, I should be available on Wednesday around 8PM CST.

Surely this won't be too stressful for David

Kruzer :
pinkeyedtree :
I can do 8 PM central time on Wednesday if that works for both of you.

Kruzer :
Davideo7 :
Wednesday at 8PM CST is definitely good for me! The whole Winter Tournament came at a good time for me luckily, I've had a lot of downtime lately. Alrighty, I'll see you guys then!  

pinkeyedtree :
Kruzer :

Are you guys by any chance able to do voice chat?

Davideo7 :
Mmmm maybe. I don't have a good microphone, but I have one on my laptop. I might be able to though.

I've never used voice chat in the RGR before but I'm sure I would be able to set it up.

pinkeyedtree :
Kruzer :

We can probably forget about the voice chat stuff. It might be a trouble to get set up. I was wondering though, would you guys be available at around 7 PM central time instead? Basically hosting this event right after the music stream ends. If not, no big deal.

Also, if possible, you guys should at some point try and get as many of the PlayStation games cached to your computer as you can so when you guys take turns selecting games, it doesn't take forever to get a game going since that'd make for a boring stream.

7PM CST is fine with me.

And I've already downloaded all the games. Knew that would save some precious time in the long run.

Alrighty will do. And sure, 7PM CST is fine for me as well. See you in the stream!

pinkeyedtree :
Kruzer :

I'm in the lobby and have the stream ready to go whenever you guys are ready to begin.

Kruzer :
Hey, it's alright no worries. Sorry for the delayed response, your summon didn't work : As far as the stream goes, you will have to summon David to ask him I think. Tomorrow would work for me after 7PM EST (6PM CST). Friday I'm not sure, I can let you know, Sunday I'm good past 5PM CST.  Same goes for Monday, Tuesday.

edit: Wednesday doesn't work for me actually.

pinkeyedtree :
Kruzer :

I'm not sure when I'll be able to stream again but you guys can just go ahead and do the matchup whenever you want. Feel free to record it and upload the recording.

pinkeyedtree : Alright then, let's try for Monday at 8PM EST.

Kruzer :
Alrighty, works for me as it stands! Looking forwards to our match, I'm going to try to record it at least. See you then

2 Hours and 10 rounds later, Kruzer emerges victorious. It was a pretty split match up overall, we were both really good at our good games in my opinion, and it showed. I recorded all the games, although 2 of them I only managed to start a few seconds into the game (Jet Moto 2 and Puzzle Fighter I think). I'm going to try to edit them all together (likely not gracefully lol) with some editting software, and upload it by tomorrow night hopefully. Anyway, this is how the score broke down.
Twisted Metal 2 - Winner Kruzer
Xmen Vs Street Fighter - Winner pinkeyedtree
Jet Moto 2 - Winner Kruzer 2 - 0
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - Winner pinkeyedtree 2 - 0
Gran Turismo - Winner Kruzer 2 - 1
Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo - Winner pinkeyedtree 2 - 0
CoolBoarders 2 - Winner Kruzer 2 - 0
Bomberman World - Winner pinkeyedtree 2 - 0
Micro Machines - Winner Kruzer 5 -1
Quake 2 - Winner Kruzer 10 - 8
We almost went through the whole list lol. Anyway, it was pretty tense and felt very much like a final match to me.
Congrats Kruzer!

pinkeyedtree : lol, you could've made another separate post if you wanted to. Just as long as it doesn't get too repetitive you should be fine. Like right now I'm technically "sandwich posting" but it's only the first one so it really isn't a big deal (yet, lol).

Anyways, we had a great run and it would've been pretty cool to see us go through all the games. You'll always have those hiccups when it comes to Netplay, especially if your match is exceeding 2 hours, lol. At that length, something's bound to go wrong :/

But in the end, it was a great match and I would say it was the best one I've experienced on this site. I look forward to watching the video once it's up.

Davideo7 : Just letting you know, we haven't received a prize from this competition yet. In case this is still a work in progress and for future references, I'd like to go with the $200 Steam Games prize.
