Dreamhack Dallas, Soul Calibur VI. Only 55 entrants, but there were some very high level players in the bracket. Like, world class players. Got 7th place.

I'm in the hat with the UT Arlington Esports shirt on the right side of the pic.

@kateee Thank you for being my first training partner for Soul Calibur back in SCV. I suppose you could be thanked for driving my initial desire to play Soul Calibur competitively. Now I've won some money playing it >:D

My primary takeaway from this topic is "UT Arlington, really?"

Congrats though

I'm surprised I held my own then because I didn't know frame data except that Pat's 1K was +2 on hit and 1B was neutral on block. Even then, I didn't know how to apply that. I just kinda did stuff cause I enjoyed it.

SCVI, I know 10x what I knew back then. Couldn't imagine going back to that time of not knowing when I could punish or duck strings.

When they give you a near-full ride and their Esports Organization pays for your Dreamhack pass.... I can't complain.

Yooo, congrats! The stacked tournaments full of killers are the hardest ones to do well in, because you can't really luck into an easy draw. Who do you use in SCVI?

Shine beat me in here to get his medal. I managed a 3rd in SFV that weekend, so I came away from that weekend happy too.

I use Groh but I keep considering picking up other characters because he's got some issues. Stuck to him this far though!

I had to upload it myself because Dreamhack hadn't yet

I was not on stream because they didn't stream all of top 8. In fact, they streamed the loser's match to qualify for top 8, then a match for 7th, then top 4. It was weird.

Also the commentators had never played Soul Calibur VI past a casual level.
