Okay, this should be a "Happy Belated Birthday" greeting instead... Coz I don't have any access to the internet yesterday... Well, I did have, but only for about 20 minutes... And for that 20 minutes I didn't even think of updating my blog... haha...
So, yesterday was a very eventful and unforgettable day for me... =)
I woke up at around 9 something, forcing myself to get up because I need to get to Swinburne by 12pm to listen to rules and regulations of a tournament that I participated in...
Since the previous night, on Friday, I have already have bad feelings for Saturday, and guess what? I am so right!
When I woke up to brush my teeth and to take a shower, there's no water for about 30 minutes!!! =(
And so I took my sweet sweet time to play my PSP... =P
At around 11am, I was ready for Swinburne. I went to the Swinburne Carnival to check out some stuff, and luckily my 大哥 Andy was there to show me around. He brought me to Dance Club's stall and there I bought a cup of sugarcane juice. =P
After that we went to the library. There we saw Jessie, Ah Jo, Alvin and Boon Han. After that, Duckie, Elmer and Rocky arrived at the library and they chatted for awhile while I continued to practice my Tekken... =P
And so, at around 12pm, impatiently I walked to the Auditorium to see how things go... I was casted as the 14th player, out of an initial 18, and finally 20. The tournament would only start at 2pm, and so I have 2 more hours to practice.
The thing that I was the most worried about was the assignment of the shoulder buttons (the L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons of the controller). Because I have been heavily spoiled by my shoulder buttons, I was worried if shoulder buttons are unassigned, I would be in deep trouble... You see, I have been developing some really cool (and not to mention very long and powerful) combos with the help of my shoulder buttons.
Initially, the shoulder buttons are assigned, but the settings are uneasy for me to adapt and hence I was once again, worried.
I tried to reassign the buttons on my PSP to force myself to adapt to the new button settings, but after about 3 or 4 matches later, the organizer, Mr. Robert, announced that shoulder buttons would not be used because some of the players have brought their own controller and it's very troublesome to reassign the shoulder buttons every time the controller is changed.
After hearing the news, I told myself to calm down, because without the shoulder buttons, I still have other combos to unleash... I'll just have to save them for other matches in the future... =)
Then, it was finally my turn to play. I used my dearest Lili, (pictured here) in her third costume (pictured here). The stage was Manji Valley (the snow place), against an opponent named "Space Monyet"... I have forgotten who he has used, but yea, I managed to "Perfect" him once... =P
After that, I waited for other players to play while I try to study every players' fighting patterns... But, yea, I didn't get to learn much... Hehe~ =)
When it was my turn to play again, I guess it was the controller's problem, where I couldn't execute my moves correctly. I think there should be some sort of a lag in the controller and so I panicked. I wanted to ask for a change of controllers but I didn't... (Another reason would be because I was intimidated by the opponent, who uses Paul. I'm SCARED of Paul!!! T___T)
And so I lost that match... I didn't give up actually, since it's a Double-Elimination, meaning you can lose in the tournament twice... Lose once, you go to the "Loser's Bracket". You lose again, you lost the tournament... So from the "Loser's Bracket", there's still a chance for me to win the tournament... =)
And finally, it came to Top 8, Top 4, and finally Top 2... The process was long enough, but I enjoyed it a lot... =)
In my final match between me and my opponent, Patrick, I have to beat him twice, actually, before I can be considered as the winner. Because I have lost once, but he hasn't. And so he needs to go through a Double-Elimination as well... O.o
The final match was between Lili & Asuka... Wow, what a coincidence... They are both rivals! hahaha... :D
Patrick won the first round, and since then I began to mercilessly kick his bottom... Sorry! =P
When he was eliminated once, I can see that he has been holding back his combos a lot. As if he was intimidated by me. =S
But still I kept my cool and continued bashing on Asuka until I finally won the tournament... To tell the truth, I actually didn't realize that I have won until I noticed that I was in the Top 2... XD
I was actually waiting for my next match when I discovered that... It was already my final match... XD
