1st Mr. Kwiggles
2nd XcaliburBladeZ

3rd Sonic Fox

4th Gehaktbal

Things didn't start well for Mr. Kwiggles as his younger brother Sonic Fox took him out two matches straight knocking him into loser's bracket. Meanwhile XcaliburBladeZ managed to beat Master in winner's bracket dropping Master down to the loser bracket, and after that set he defeated Sonic Fox as well solidifying his position in the final. Gehaktbal managed to get a big win on the Tengu specialist, Ninja CW and Lopedo knocked Perfect Legend out of the competition shortly after in loser's.

The matches really picked up during the Gehaktbal/Master dream match, which Gehaktbal took, performing impeccably with his festive Zack. Lopedo then crossed paths with Mr. Kwiggles but lost in what some would consider to be a huge upset as Lopedo is the self proclaimed "best in the world" and the previous TFC champ. MC Kwiggles and Gehaktbal then proceeded to fight, and despite a valiant effort, Gehaktbal was knocked out of the tournament.

Afterwards, Kwiggles finally got the best of his younger brother (outstanding Marie Rose) in some really good matches, and went on to fight Xcal in the final. The matches started off with Helena (xcal) and Christie (kwiggles), but Xcal switched to his Alpha later on to hopefully prevent a reset. His Alpha was spot on, was B.U.R.S.T.I.N.G all over the place, but ultimately it didn't prevent the bracket from being reset. After the shocking reset, it wasn't long before Xcal switched back to Helena in a last effort to beat Kwiggles and his unstoppable Christie. He made a great comeback, but it wasn't enough to get the job done at this tournament. Congratulations Mr. Kwiggles, and to all competitors who made it out to this all-star champion of champions tournament!

 

Great matches since the first day. Congratulations to all the participants especially to MC Kwiggles, you sir are awesome!

 

Good job Kwiggles.

That said, if Christie gets nerfed, we know who to blame.

 

Congrats to all competitors, specially to @Gehaktbal!

BTW, how many competitors entered the tournament...?

72

 

72

Is that number roughly larger or smaller than previous Fall Classic tournaments? So far, what has been the largest turnout in terms of competitors? I loved the huge shout-out to the community! XD

 

2013, the first TFC, was 97.

Although I believe the skill level of the players and the event itself went better this year than last year... Those numbers and the decline of 25 players for a tournament with $8,000 on the line plus the Qualifying tournaments are most likely going to hinder Team NINJA support for future tournaments.

25 opted out? And why would you say the qualifying tournaments would hinder - it's more than time constraints, I take it! I wouldn't say nix them, but could it be a "too many players, not enough slots?" I looked at the brackets and they were huge!

 

25 opted out?

I believe that Mr.Wah meant that there were 25 players less than the previous year (97-25 = 72)

 

Last ROF @ Paris got basically the half of this TFC (34 players) without any support from Team NINJA (@K4rma please correct me if I'm wrong).

SweetRevenge won this tournament. He was the only player from USA. Gehaktbal from Netherlands finished second and the third place was for the French Ky-Dragon.

I went to ROF from London. All players I fought there were decent or better (and 4 were women! ). At 2013's TFC I faced a player in my pool that obviously had no clue of how to play decently. Perhaps casual competitors are getting away of tourneys...
