London Thread 2011

Remember to cheer for Boston

Istvan is down to hang as well, so there will be 3S a happenen tonight

chris pick up you phone im tryin to call you

Ooops day late on reading this. :slight_smile:

So I am going to put this out there because it needs to be said:

With the whole SAC/GH not being available for most likely the summer, did we want to hold casuals elsewheres? Like at my place for example?

K, now that SRK is finished spazzing out.

Corry, check your e-mail and let me know if your down for the UCC today.

IMO we can probably go to UCC. We’ve done it in the past and it’s not bad. Sorry Ben, you’re place is too far out of the way, I know personally I’d never show if i had to go out that far lol

May not be able to go tomorrow due to family coming over. I’ll get back later tonight.

ahem (best bison dying impression) noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

so I guess nothing happening tomorrow then? Drew when can I come and observe bioshock 2?

So what’s the plan for today?

First secret London Training session went well.

Next time the quarters are gonna be a prereq for participation. It’ll make us give a shit again.

4 is just as bad as I remember it and the contrast between it and SF2 is glaring.

Yun and Yang are gonna be hard for noncharge characters though. Otherwise they are manageable.

I do alright against Yun with Makoto…Yang is a nightmare though and I’m not entirely sure why there’s such a big difference for me (could just be that I’m awful).

Oh, there’s a possibility I may be moving to London this weekend. I start my job on Monday…looking at a few places to live and debating whether or not I want this one that’s available right away and close to work but the building is a little dilapidated.

curse you 3s for making my yang so shitty in ae.

hey avarice. you still free at mvc3? i love you.

I’m always free at everything.

Except games no one plays…Castlevania Judgment was so fun ^^

Alright gents well I’m off to Toronto tomorrow then Thunder Bay Sunday morning. It’s been fun when we actually were able to get organized and do something. Chris you should continue being the pylon that supplies energy to the London scene man, don’t be such a hater to everything that is in the new generation, you have the talent to be a force especially in SF4 if you just practice a little bit, even though you’ve never been able to show me a full touch of death with bison. I’m gonna scoop 3SO for sure on day one, you have me on PSN. If 3SO somehow is the game that actually takes and keeps you into online gaming I see some nice sessions in the future online. Drew I never was able to see the ending of Bioshock 2 despite giving you a free CE AND free copies of BS1 and 2. you piece of turd, you are going to make a very terrible employee some day. LOL j/k hopefully next time I retrn you will be able to speedrun it like Res. Evil. Stephan if you want to be a feared force you can do it, you have the mind for it and intelligence we both know this, you already know what you need to work on you just have to actually do it now. Joe you already run the show in MvC3 as far as im concerned any non-top 3 performance is some form of bad luck, tournament-nerves or typical Marvel randomness that can catch anyone off guard. If D.Phx giving you trouble you could easily plug spiderman into your team instead of akuma, he has a setup to 100% both phx. and d.phx and he only needs 2-3 super and X-Factor. Ben the scene in London would not run nearly as smoothly without your setups and attendance, any scene needs someone with some kind of income and form of transportation or else it is just a gong show. Istvan I don’t even know if you read this but damn that was a hell of a 3S and CvS2 showing on Sunday night given (what I thought was, anyways) your retirement from fighters. Alvin, you’re good but you’re X-Box refuses to accept my made in china converters. Stay free in SF4 with Gen :slight_smile:

GGs to everyone who I’ve played throughout the years. keep up the hard work and turn london into a contender!

Ya Ardalan, it has been a great few years man. Always a blast when you are around. I will try to ease up on the new games, however, I can’t make any promises. And one day you will be the victim of my Bison’s ST touch of death. The day will come my friend. Ya when 3SO comes out, I will be moving off GGPO and Supercade for 3S to play psn so we will get some games in for sure. Next time you are in London whenever that may be, we definitely need to have another night where we watch Drew speed run a game like bioshock and rip on him again. Again man, awesome to have had the privilege of hanging out with you these last few years and I am sure we all hope to see you again sometime soon when you get a chance. To bring down the T. Bay (hahaha) sf crew so we can have a London vs T BAY match. Even if it is just yourself. Have fun in Thunder Bay man and keep in touch dude and we will see ya on the flip side.

Also sorry for the double post but I felt I must respond to it. Dude you made me so happy when you said HDR makes you want to punch a baby. That internet looking flash game is shit. I don’t understand why that game is still tolerated when ST so great in all its glory. Totally divided the scene as well making the ST scene even weaker than it was.

Reading about the treatment 3S is getting compared to what we ST players received also rubs salt in an already nasty wound.

On top of that, because of financial issues, 3S players will not be treated to a rebalancing.

ST is the better fighting game tho and I’m confident that in one way or another, it’ll fly again.

Man in that top 4 vid of ST finals for UFGT7 they talk about how they should release a perfect ST port onto the consoles. That would be huge man. The HDR stuff needs to fall of and die if it hasn’t already. I would have killed for them to do to ST as what they are doing to 3S. Arcade perfect, buffered sprites with the option or going back to arcade standard, and ggpo netcode. Man I wouldn’t need to use my computer ever again.

Best of luck in TB. Watch out for the flies the size of small cats that will want your blood around there. :slight_smile:
