So i just back from japan and all I got to say is Japan is the sickest place in the world.

dope things about japan:
easy transportation anywhere in the city, and cheap.
best food ive ever eaten in my life.
a million arcades all with the best 3s players ive ever played against.
cheap cigarettes. less than $3 a pack.

i want to go back like right now. I will definitely be back next summer for sbo. sbo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>evo.

highlights of my trip include:
SBO WAS FUCKING AWESOME
getting so faded on the plane i dont remember flying to japan.
drinking beer randomly all the time because you can.
smoking and playing 3s at the same time. so dope.
going to some crazy ass bar called lock up with fubar, bas, justin and some other east coast cats.
club sega 5 on 5.
meeting some really cool people.
getting all of the kuroda dvds except ibuki, twelve, elena.
playing mov for like 40 games straight.
any so many more.

Got to tougeki this morning around 6:30 am. Entered last chance quals with ed ma, and ryan fubarduck. We got beat but its ok, it was still fun.

5star teamed up with match for last chance quals. I wish one of us would have won.

its too hot in japan, dripping sweat everywhere all day.

I believe kashis team won last chance quals, because I saw him playing in the tourny. He is so sick. low parries a chun cr rh, then dashes in and does fierce, strong shoryu, shippu.

kuroda lived up to the hype until he choked in the finals. You could tell he was so upset.

The team that played in the finals with kurodas team was an underdog team supposedly.

such an awesome day. now we are going to experience japans nightlife, wish us luck.

so we just got back from club sega.

highlights include:

daigo beasting on sfiv (he had a 20+ win streak, doing crazy shit.)
every 3s player thats famous in japan was there (minus rx)
kuroda playing akuma... sooo sick.
teamed up with kofiend, flare, fernando, and aaron. got beat my isseis team.
second hand smoke at club sega is fucking insane. I smoke, and I cant even hang.
ogawa ocv's nukis team to win the tournament. ogawas ken is so sick.

im not sure if im going to go out tonight, got to wake up early.

ok 5 vs 5 at club sega shinjuku like 5 mins away form our hotel.

im fuckin drunk right now lololol.

We just came back from Mikado again. I met NKI, he is a cool guy. Tomorrow I will watch him compete in ST. Good luck NKI!!! represent AMERICA! We just ate at a kaiten sushi place. It was awesome. There was all these nigiri pieces on a conveyer belt and it was so cheap. Like 1 dollar for 2 pieces for nigiri sushi!!!


Now im drinking some beers and chillin, tonight there is a 5vs5 at club sega akihabara or shinjuku, im not sure which one.

I do not want to go outside until the night time because its too damn hot.

time to get faded.

First Day in Japan

So I just woke up from my first night in Japan. Wow yesterday was a fucking a crazy day. Fernando and I only slept about 2 hours the night before because we planned on just sleeping on the entire flight, but that plan didn't really happen. After arriving to LAX we bought a bottle of Captain Morgan and drank the entire thing after only like 2 hours into the trip, hahah we were so fucked up, I hardly remember the plane ride here. Upon arriving to Japan we stepped out of the plane to Japan, aka the most humid place ive ever been to. We took a bus to Shinjuku so we could find a hotel. We stepped of the bus and tried to comprehend where we were standing, and where our hotel was. Dude it was like a maze, we were walking all over the place, and not to mention it was like a 100 degrees. Luckily my friend Aaron called me and helped me find the way to the hotel where he was waiting for us. After checking in, Fernando and where were trippin so hard because the gound was shaking the entire time we were in the hotel. We were like "what the fuck man," it felt like we were on a boat or something. We were both so tired but we said fuck it, and decided we wanted to go play 3s. We set off to find Mi-ka-do because I knew it was really close to our hotel. After getting there and climbing 4 flights of stairs we found the 3s cabs. We played a few matches but I couldn't keep my eyes open. I did play against the best Ibuki player i've ever played though. Aaron talked to him a little and he said he competed in sbo back in 2004. I didnt catch his name though. We decided to head back to hotel because of our severe jet lag. Walking through Shinjuku I realized that Japan is fuckin crazy, and I love it. Its like a mix between Vegas and NYC. We stopped at 7-11 so we could get something to eat. The food they serve there is actually really good. For 5 bucks I got some chicken bowl thing with rice. When we got back to the hotel, I was having a really hard time falling asleep because the floor was moving so much. At this point Aaron told me that Fernando and I were just trippin hard because the ground wasn't moving at all. I think it was a combination of being hungover, and severely jet lagged that we thought the entire town of Tokyo has a nonstop earthquake. We both passed out around 9pm, we just couldn't hang anymore. SBO starts tomorrow, and I really want to see ST, and I wouldnt mind seeing Tekken 6. Its only like 9:30 am and we are really well rested. Today is going to be a crazy adventure.
