London Thread 2011

I am taking Joe and Monney, so no worries there.

Good luck today guys.

Anything going on today like you guys said? Wouldn’t mind playing whatever and my place is free. Also wouldn’t mind driving to komoka.

I also recall something being said about something going on in Komoka, SF night then a gaming day on Monday or something?

I assume Komoka means Chris’s house? if so I might be down for that.

Chris W is working till 11 tonight. Do people still wanna do anything? Be quick the day is wasting away

So the night he planned to do something he forgets that he has work…

So does anyone wanna do anythin or no?

I’m gonna have to pass tonight man. I will be too tired to do anything at 11. Tomorrow I think will be good though since I am not working.

Let’s do it up tomorrow then. I’ll make the calls.

Hey Joe I didn’t see you on the top 3 for marvel what happened bud?

The idea is not to play top tier characters like yun, yang, fei long. Zangief broken?? lol he is F tier in this game. No more knockdown on EX green hand? And Lariat loses to pretty much anything too. My mains rose and honda got nerfed to oblivion too. No more free satellite and Honda used to hit like a truck now it’s more like a girl’s tricycle.

Actually I tried to pick up Oni but he’s just too weak. No real way to fend off pressure. He looks really good on paper, floating in the air, an auto crossup that easily combos into ultra, fast pain overheads, painful target combos, high priority SRK, but it all goes to shit somehow in a real match.

I probably have the two best excuses: I finished fourth and lost to a phoenix. Toronto’s better than me right now, I’ll have to train like Ryu until the next tournie.
I doubt I’ll do any extra sessions until after Thursday. Gonna catch up on sleep and whatnot.

Props to Monney for winning the chocolate SSFIV tournie =)

Ahhh see that’s what happens when you play against andrew’s super skrull. I coulda played phoenix against you! Team X-Men is my original shit after all.

Oh and after Thursday sure but what about BEFORE? As in tomorrow?

ELASTIC SLAM

btw ard, finished Bioshock 2, this was soooo fast and short compared to 1. Plus once I got my fav Pasmids and weapon nothing could stop me lol. Found all the recordings and upgrades in first attempt.

Yup, that’s me. Seems that the folks who know me either know that disc, or the pcbs. Cant really find people who know both :slight_smile:
Current plans are to be in London around the 1st of the month. The girlfriend flies back about then, and then I got two weeks to blow however I want, I just got to make it to Amsterdam by the 17th.

Appreciated.

You don’t happen to play Darkstalkers series or Vamp Sav to be more specific do you?

Not well, but I do. I have a vsav CPS-2 board I throw into my cabinet occasionally. I enjoy the game, but the more advanced stuff takes a bunch of training mode practice to get down. I still can’t reliably c.short c.short back-forward PP with Raptor, Guard cancels are a crap shoot, my bubble trap is unreliable. VSav is a great game, but the heavy rush down focus makes it pretty hard for me to play long sets against good players, since I dont have a solid grasp of my options.
I have a decent Dante on marvel 3, I love marvel 2 but suck at it. ST is godlike on a cabinet, but playing on GGPO or playing HDR makes me want to punch a baby.

It’s looking like I may need to get as cheap as possible; it anyone in the London area can offer a floor to crash on for me and the GF on the night of June 30th and/or any number of days before that (29th, 28th, whatever) please let me know and we can work out a trade for stick tech or work. I can easily bring parts like Cthulhus, Kittys, or one of my optical JLF boards,and can install them if you have the tools ; someone can get a Sanwa Flash clone early.
If I didnt have to carry it around for two weeks, I’d offer a stick, but that’d be a bit much to haul around.

OK So I’ve spoken to our patriarch Chris and Andrew, they are both willing to do stuff later in the day. Stephan, Joe, Ben, anyone else, you guys wanna do anything today?

I may be in for tonight. Workout at 7/8, I can see after.

Unlikely for me today; I’m gonna watch hockey.
