C2AGE at Help

Last Saturday me, Ivan and Sam went to Help College for C2AGE. The only reason we went there was to join the Street Fighter 4 tournament and in hoping to see some pros showing off their skills. So after breakfast we took and taxi and reach at Help around 11 am.

By the time we reach there, the event was already started. There was some speech by some people who I don’t really care their names. All I remember was Hannah Tan and this Japanese guy singing P.Ramlee – Getaran Jiwa. That was pretty cool. And no, I didn’t manage to take a picture of Hannah Tan. Didn’t want to actually. Haha..

The tournament started just after around 12.30pm. We manage to register as the last 3 player as they only allow up to 20 contestants. We were really hoping to see at least some decent players but sad to say, the only people who joined the competition are not really that good, except 1 or 2. We fought our way through the tournament with ease. On the semi finals, it was my turn vs Ivan. Unfortunately I lost to him. I stick with Ryu and he uses Sagat. I won the first round but lost after that. Was a closed fight. Then for the finals, it was Sam vs Ivan. It was a battle between C.Viper vs Saqat. C.Viper speed and unpredicted moves beat Saqat’s high damage and defense.

It was pretty sad that there are no second or third prizes. Here are some pictures from the event taken by me using Ivan’s camera.

All and all, it was a ok event. Lots of things can and should be done better. I hope they will learn and all the best for next year’s C2AGE!
