King of Dtoiders 2009 - Week 3 Update
nilcam \| 9:06 AM on 09.30.2009	6 comments

We're at the mid-point of the final week. I've played some really good games this week and have several more games to play before the week is out. I can already tell that choosing the Most Improved Player will be tough. Everyone has improved greatly. Each week, each game has gotten more and more challenging. Good games to all involved. I've got several replays recorded but not yet uploaded so I'll save those for a later posting. I'll be on tonight for a bit so, if you're on, keep an eye out.

Now seems like a good time to re-post the prizes. Players will choose their prizes in the order in which they place. First place chooses first, second goes next, etc. I am awarding 1st - 4th places as well as a Most Improved Player. My wife will help in the judging the MIP as she's watched all of the matches thus far.

Prizes
1. Neo Geo Pocket Color with Last Blade, Metal Slug 1st Mission, Cardfighter's Clash Capcom Version, King of Fighters R2 and Sonic the Hedgehog.
2. 6" Mai PVC figure
3. Classic Neo Geo Pack (PS2 SNK Arcade Anthologies & Fatal Fury Anthology Archives 2)
4. Neo SNK Pack (PS2 NeoGeo Battle Coliseum & King of Fighters XI)
5. A collection of Chibi SNK vs Capcom 2 keychains

Everyone who completes all 15 games in the 3 week period will receive a certificate which is suitable for framing, via email.

Jack of no Trades has one of the best Ralfs I've ever played. Here's part of a match we had:

I'm going to assume I didn't place in the top 4, but I wanted to say thanks for putting this together! It was a ton of fun and created a good community for a game that was kind of dead in the Dtoid water. I had a ton of fun, and I can't wait until we can play without having muted mics. It's been great playing with you, and I think you've really upped my KoF game. Many thanks and good work!

Woah. Double KO! O_O

This contest is the sheezy. Anybody that missed it make sure to pick up KoF anyway and get a big ol' manhug from Raiden. Real talk, if you play against Nilcam you will have nightmares about Joe.

Do you mind if I add you as a new challenger?

I'm planning to play a good number of fighters on my PS3 :)

@JoZo: Definitely add me if you'll be playing KoF, SF HD Remix and the occasional SFIV game.

about me

Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Proud owner of: Kiwi Gameboy Color, GBA SP, GBA Micro, PSP 3000, White DS Lite, Silver NeoGeo Pocket, purple SwanCrystal, SNES, Genesis, N64, purple Gamecube, slim PS2, Dreamcast, Wii and PS3.

Favorite Games: Last Blade 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Mark of the Wolves, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zelda: Minish Cap, Dark Stalkers, King of Fighters, Mega Man ZX, Ikaruga, Macross: Do You Remember Love, Raiden Trad, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Valkyria Chronicles, Professor Layton, Killer7

Games on my mind:
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix (PS3)
Tatsunoko vs Capcom (Wii)
Samurai Shodown Anthology (Wii/PS2)
King of Fighters XII (PS3)
