I’m out for this Saturday, bro. Gotta work on Sunday also so it’s not gonna be possible to juggle casuals and the misses at the same time. Plus I might have to come into the office Saturday morning for a bit. The upside is we get 22nd - 24th off and National Day is just around the corner. We’re gonna have some good times!
I got work on Sunday as well (and the entire weekend next week, fucking groan), but I’m good for this Saturday.
Saturday is on. I have a pretty decent Akuma player swinging through too.
You need me to bring my stick or do we have 2?
I don’t know yet, Rod isn’t getting back with me. I’ll let you know what’s up tonight.
Sean’s gonna swing by? Oh man! When’s he leaving? I want to get some matches in with him.
Sean might be gone already… this is Sean’s apprentice. He’s the guy who’s been texting us tourney infos. He’s currently better than Sean. ^^
First post updated with lots and lots of Chinese terms!
Sean’s “apprentice” is super solid. I’m glad I managed to make the sets closer towards the end, but he sure as hell makes you work for it. Letting him hit you once is a recipe for disaster. Sean was also awesome to meet, shame he’s leaving Beijing.
Anyhow, we should plan some stuff (not just sessions ofc!) for the following holidays (Mid-Autumn, National Day (week)). I have Wednesday-Friday off and then am off for a week the following Friday. Any ideas?
I have off Wed-Fri as well. After that it’s a 6day hell. I can host on one of the mid-autumn days and then maybe we can go out for dinner. Jason mentioned awhile back that there might be a decent Mexican place somewhere. I’m even up for some drinking.
Edit: I had a good learning session with Rod last week so I’m ready to throw down hard. Sean indeed is a great player. Can’t wait to face off his apprentice as well. Yeah I sound corny as hell, what of it?
I’m free all three days. Do you have any family obligations or anything?
Kim wants us to spend the 22nd, which is the actual day of the festival, with her mom. So I’m thinking the 23rd for casuals at my place. After that, we can go out for grub and drinking binge.
Cool. Send out them texts?
Mike, if your reading this… are you alive? We haven’t heard from you in weeks.
Will do after work bro!
Hey everybody i m just back from beijing
i played street fighter 4 in two different places on september 18
the one in xidan the 77th somethings i had a good fun there
there was a girl playing zangief and after i beat her she sms her boy friend a guy who play Guile. hehe was fun.
And them in the evening i been to shuang jing, i don’t know why but i was disapointed by this place, maybe i didn’t go at the right time, there were no ambiance only three guys playing SF4 a sagat a ryu and a dictator… i try the sagat he kick my butt twice i give up. and there were also a fake SSF4 arcade i think an xbox was in it, unfortunately with crappy sound
the xidan one was much more fun and at least the players were smilling and friendly.
but players level was lower than in shuang jing.
neway it was my first time playing sf4 on arcade, in my old and rubbish country we don’t have it in the capital…
Shuangjing has been a bit weird lately. Between the lack of maintenance and the waiting for super arcade slump, it’s not that hopping right now. You should have let us know you were in town.
Anyway, hype for today.
Shuangjing now has 10 cabs–they got another pair of Vewlix cabs and it’s running console Super in them. Also bumped into Sean’s friend again, we had a pretty fun set (he was playing Ken) and he actually gave me his number and I have his name in hanzi but I don’t know the pinyin or how to pronounce it, something like jiu wa?
Great games on Thursday guys! The vids are looking awesome and I’ll be working on them as soon as possible. For an SD camera, the picture isn’t bad at all. Sadly there isn’t much sound from the game so I might need to put some music to cover all the random talks. hehe Might have to make it a goal to get a capture card or something similar in the future.
@Jason: Can you type me up the game handles of the Chinese players? Hanzi is fine.
By the way, someone forgot a black jacket at my place.
next time i ll tell you guys i m going to beijing so we can meet and have some fun kicking and focusing each other hehe.
i ll let you know for sure.
Just drop us a line whenever you’re here.
