All matches were 4/7 rounds character locked!!! I don’t know about everyone else, but this shit was hype!!

As Warahk from NCR will never be forgotten for his rage quit,** HIRYU will never be forgotten for his SALTINESS**!!! This guy gets double prefected by Bishop(cody) and just gets styled on! I have never seen anyone pout so damn much because of a loss in a test ranbat with no significant meaning!

Yes Hiryu, you are Memphis saltiest player! Cry me a sea of salt you damn baby! This will never be forgotten as everyone saw you go to the lonely station and practice in training mode by yourself!!! hahahahahahahahahaha!!

FT5 Beer Matches.
Severin(Abel) vs Hiryu(Hawk)…Sev wins 5-1 I think!

Lycan(Ken) vs Squabbler(Cody)… lycan wins 5-2.

Good shit to Gdbell for showing up tonight. Nice games man!
Thanks to Duckie and Cylus for coming up as well!

Remember Memphians… next week will be a team tournament!!! Find a partner. If you cannot find a partner, one will be provided for you!

Bishop and I tied for 3rd since it was single elimination

Cylus: Thanks for the UFC 2010 book. I appreciate it!

Wait, you bought the new maps? Ouch.

Thank you MaulNutz for being more sensible than these guys, Shawn and Fenix didn’t like BC2 and that makes me sad :frowning: I basically put MW2 away as soon as BC2 dropped, never looked back. Soooo much better…it helps to have people to play with, though. It’s definitely not a game you can go lone wolf and Rambo everybody in.

I dunno. I was pretty seasoning salty too since I only came because I live across the street now, Sev promised me Tekken, and ended up being forced to enter single elimination Souper Shit Fighter 4 Ranbat. Playing as Pee Jay. In a hard chair. On octo-gate. Against Cyluzz.

Fuck you skank crackwhores.

Fun fact: whacking off on Live is a waste of quality fap time, what when there’s all that quality spank bait out there on the interwebs.

Man tonight’s test ranbat was mad hype not even goin lie. When I found out one was going on tonight I just had to make the trip to see it go down live and indeed I was not disappointed. Though Sev beat me down pretty bad with Abel it was still fun and learned new things such as Abel not always being free on jump-ins. Let me run these shouts real quick then Im off to the lab before bedtime!

Severin- You get the #1 shoutout for beating me pretty bad with Abel. I actually was preparing for you to pick Chun-li and thought I may have a chance but I saw that retarded frenchmen pop up on the screen and I knew it would be a tough match. I owe you a drink or something for your win. GGs man and I hope to be more competitive next time…And I still know more about cars than you do! :slight_smile:

Bishop- Nice to have formally met you tonight. It was you that sparked the single elimination ranbat talk and for that I am glad. And your Cody is the ridunkulous!!! Double Perfect on T. Hawk??? That is not even human. I honestly could not believe what I was seeing. Hopefully next time we can get some casuals in.

Jan and Cylus: Good playing both of you guys in casuals. Your day of reckoning is coming sir Jan…it is coming!!!

Lycan:Your commentary is crazy. Encouraging the random ultra! lol GGs man. Your Akuma is still the truth!

Duckie: Man you think Im letting you off the hook don’t you!? Once we are both back employed, I want that money match. I still believe that is easy money for me and until I see otherwise I will continue to think so. And at the next ranbat/tournament, Im putting in a special request to play Duckie in the first round!!! ON BLAST!!!

Flymike: Special shoutout to this nigga!!! Just a few weeks ago, this young man was talking about actually taking Super serious with his Honda and when I saw him play at Powerplay, was actually really into the game! Now, he the ultimate street fighter hater, with him going extra ham on the game on the facebook. If Flymike would have been cut tonight, he would have bleed salt…that is until Tekken came into the room and the infinite rape juggle me all day combos were on full blast!! Dude never stop coming to fightnights! Your commentary and facial expressions are too funny. And man Im serious about getting back into Tekken. Though Street Fighter will be my main chick, I could use a good sideline ho and Tekken is the one. I actually enjoy the game so once Im off the broke nigga list and working again, Im going to pick up a used copy and get all the Tekken niggas numbers so I can try and level up.

Sunstone: Good meeting you tonight.

Last but certainly not least…

Hiryu: To be honest I was shocked at how you acted when you lost that match to Bishop. Why? Well…you are the same guy that put me on blast for being “arrogant” and “annoying” here on the forums. I should just keep my mouth closed and say GGs to everyone and calling people free was unnecessary…all that fun stuff…

Yet you lose to Bishop and just walked off!!! Pouting and complaining about the format. Excuses!!! This was tragic sir. Then I asked for a friendly casual and you acted as if you didn’t want to be bothered…again tragic!

So Im telling you and everybody else from now on, if I feel like calling someone free I will do so! Because I know if I lose a match after calling someone free, that I can at least shake someone’s hand and say “hey man good game” and just shake it off and hop back in the lab so I can level up and prove myself. Im not going to stomp away like a 3-year old and go in the corner and play by myself and complain about not be able to counter-pick after a crushing defeat. I don’t even think Josh would act like that from Knoxville. If my confidence is taken for arrogance or cockiness oh well then so be it because Im going to say what is on my mind, when I want to say it and how I want to say it!!!

Hope to see you guys next week! Good night all!

Best match ever. Also the dumbest.

WTF Arson, thats priceless!

GGs to everyone at Hastings last night. I have to agree the single elim tourney was hype as hell and a nice change of pace. Everyone knows my feelings on mixing up the Ran Bats I think it helps to keep it fresh. Team tourney is gonna be hype too. I suggest KOF style (I dont know the tech term but play till you loose basically) double elim would be a good way to go.

Mike: Man my apologies for not getting on Tekken with you last night. I honestly didn’t think I would go as far as I did in the tourney and I had to get in my beer match with Abe. Dont worry though the Korean corner store owner has something for you see below.

GDBell: GGS man. Nice that the first time we ever play is in a single elim tourney setting. I honestly expected Sagat not Dud. No worries on the beer though we will have an actual F5 for something like that. As for the Dud match we have another really good Dud here (Marcus, Shin Blade) and I got plenty of time to learn Able’s AA options in that match. Personally I feel that match is slightly in Able’s favor but I know others disagree.

Lycan: What the fuck were you thinking trying that AK shit on me last night. In single elim…this aint vanilla. =p GGs though man the demon counter to EX wheel kick in round three was sick. Had there been a camera on my face at the time that pic could have been used as a WTF meme. Also thanks as always for running the bracket and providing all the smokes. Hit me today when you get a chance. Oh and the beer match with Abe ended 5-2 not 5-1. Lastly stop being so damn quiet as matches go on. Get the place hype man.

Jan: Good to have you come out as always. Especially as the returning champ. Good Blanka matches as always. I still need to work on properly punishing jungle boy that whiffed super at the end of round 6 sucked as did eating that raw ultra cause I didn’t block high properly.

Duckie: You are the man thank you very much for the extra stick cables. I wanted to make sure I had back ups for Evo and you delivered yet again. Sorry I did not get a chance to play you last night. We will get rounds in this weekend for sure and I will try to help you out with OS tech practice

Cylus: Stop cheating…nice win again in the ran bat. At least I kept it competitive. My favorite round has to be round 7, Able just stylin’ all over Rog. I’m pissed I didn’t get to land breathless though. I know that’s your kryptonite :wink: And damn you for sabotaging me by making me play Chun for 2 months.

Gene/Clark: Thanks for coming out fellas. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to play you in either SF or Tekken last night. Next time for sure and ya’ll should have come out to the saucer with us. Good times

Bishop: Cody looked good last night. That match against T Hawk was crazy I did not know Cody shut him down like that. Also come team tourney its Team Cody you and Squabb all the way

Squabbler: What was the final score of the beer match with O and how many kara throws did he land?? I will see you for lunch games today as always and I have some more info on Cody frame tricks and counters

Abe: GGS last night and thanks for the Hawk practice and the beer. I will let you know about staying at my place prior to Evo as soon as T gets back into town. Mortons!! :wink:

All right now that that is out of the way. I will be hosting another gathering at my home Sat night starting at 5:00 and going till whenever. So far I there are several confirms and the last time I had one of these turn out was over 20. Fee is 5 bucks but waived if you bring a full set up console, TV and game. We will be running the following games
-Super SF IV casuals
-Singles Ran Bat (Format to be decided guaranteed)
-Team Ran bat (Format to be decided if time permits)
-Tekken 6 Casuals
-Singles ran bat if we get enough people (Everyone who plays tekken please come out I need practice for Evo)
-Game of Fly Mike’s choosing
-Mike you seeing this!!! If you show up you get to pick a game that will be available all night. You want to get on that project justice, Alpha 3, KOF, Garou whatever its up to you man. Hell I say we have a ran bat in this too and just shit talk all the way through it. If you want to break out Bloody Roar I heard some words exchanged with you and Bishop last night and while we are at it I challenge you to a T6 FT5 slaps mike’s face with a glove British style

Anyone interested in coming out hit me up so I can get you my addy and plan for drinks and such. Also if you want to come out but cant till later let me know that too and I will run the ran bats later in the night. Side note my dogs will be separated from the main area where all the goings on will be so no worries there.

Get hype and bring it!!

Yeah, I think I’m just done with FPSs for awhile. At least I can still get my money back for MW2 since I bought it less than 7 days ago. I join a game, then there’s nothing I can do when I join one that’s in midgame because I’m getting sniped in my spawn point. I’m done with FPSs. DONE I SAY!

Anyways, GG to everyone at GG yesterday. Shenlong, I really need to learn more on the Dudley matchup. He’s going to give me so much trouble until I do. I’m just happy I’m finally getting down FADC, but now I need to teach myself how to capitalize on it.

K now time for shoutouts:

@O: Good FT5 man. I didn’t really care that I lost, I wanted the kara experience since I’ve never had it before. That shit is so tricky 0_o… Oh, shit, totally forgot to get you a beer at saucer!!

@Bishop: I’m sick of playing you every week in the first or second round, it completely removes the Cody’s from the ranbats. Must be some kind of conspiracy there, people are scared! Anyways, nice random mirror match… again!

@Cylus: Damn you and your perfectly spaced focuses that make me whiff throws!! Good stuff though, just keep doing it until I learn. I have to eventually. I need more practice with that matchup anyways.

@Hiryu: GGs before the ranbat. I think we split 3-3 or something, don’t quite remember. Also, don’t get so bent out of shape over a loss man, it’s cool, happens to everyone. Next time, I’m going to go buy you a bag of Rold Gold. :lol:

@Sev: Uhhh, the final score was 5-2… (3-0, 3-1, 4-1, 4-2, 5-2)… and he probably landed about 25 and I teched about 10 maybe. Actually, I dunno I think I teched more, because when I was in the corner one round, I know I had to’ve teched at least 5 in a matter of 30 seconds. But it’s all good, I chose that matchup for that specific reason.

“ULTRA!! SOMEBODY ULTRA!!” - O

Gabe, my Facebook status is the truth. Seriously, watching you all play that shit for any length of time makes me want to piledrive a baby…on a hardwood floor. I can’t even fake interest anymore. But you guys like what you like. Once you do finally cop T6, and actually get into it, you will see what I mean. Btw, I don’t give a fuck about you having Slim George Foreman Grill PS3. If you EVER bring a set-up, I’m slipping that shit in my back pocket and going home.

Sev, don’t make any excuses. You are a bad person. I glanced over and saw Rog v BabyChickenHead shit set on like the 6th or 7th round and almost threw up a little in my mouth. If I can make it Saturday, and you allow me to beast you and the SF Lil Rascals in classic titles released before Marcus was born, your sins may be forgiven. Also, you should run Tek ranbat as well. C’mon, that should be a prerequsite at these gatherings. This is how I know you conspired against the movement.

Squab, I didn’t use Honder. I picked Pee Jay because of my spicy salt…

For the past month or so my professional designer buddy and I have been working on a new social networking site for fighting game players. The site was conceptualized as a result of the fact that I haven’t been able to successfully pay attention to what players are doing or what events are happening without reading a shit-ton of SRK threads. TNFights.com was my initial attempt at solving this problem. I decided to go with wordpress since it’d allow me to get the system up and running quickly. It took me about 3 hours to create that site and I feel that the experience of using it has helped me better understand the greater need.

This new site will be announced here this weekend for beta access. The site allows players to sign up, create a profile page, create events / tournaments, follow other players, rsvp for events, and share the details with their friends. All of this functionality is complete and the site is in late stages of design implementation, almost ready for use. Features that will be added over the next month will include photo albums and youtube video indexing. Users will be able to tag themselves and other players in photos and youtube videos just the same as people can tag themselves in photos on Facebook. You’ll be kept up to date with a “BattleFeed” that contains the activity of your friends including any video / photo uploads that include them or any events they post or RSVP to. Live streams will be indexed and available to watch in a “TV” like interface that allows you to easily see what’s happening live right now and then to tune into it.

I feel that this site offers a major step forward for the fighting game community as a centralized event schedule simply does not yet exist. The site integrates completely into Facebook and will soon integrate into Twitter.

There is currently no business model associated with the site and no advertisements. This site is first and foremost intended to build fighting game communities and further the perception of fighting games as sport.

However, the site’s initial success depends on use. I implore everyone here to fill in as much of their user profiles as they can and add all of their fighting game events. Without data being populated there’s no reason for people to use the site. I believe that if everyone works together and is vigilant about adding their events and evangelizing the site to others we can be successful and everyone will benefit.

The site “beta” will come to and end the weekend before the National SBO Super Turbo Qualifiers. During the qualifier’s live stream we’ll be running a video advertisement for the site as well as for Game Galaxy Arcade. I really need your help with this endeavor. Stay tuned for updates.

BabyChickenHeadShit…AHAHAHAHAH I needed that after the BS with work this AM.

Check it Tekken ran bat is definitely on if we get more than like 5 people. Moving forward any gathering at my place will have ranbats for SF and Tekken assumed. And what happened Mike? You were so excited for Super. You know you want to plug the booty stick back in and go back to butt dropping people. Sides Honda is far more fly than that Gany looser. Rolling on the floor like a fat man failing to break dance just to ask Julia out and get shot down again.

Slaps your face with British glove Ganryu has everything Honda does AND MORE…

Well I will give Ganny this, he is good for getting SS 3+4 launched, halberd juggled to the wall (easy to hit three on his fat hit box), bound and tech trapped to death. Thats true =p

LMAO!!! You have dug your own grave with a spoon sir. R.I.P. Korean Cowboy. “Raa-haaah”…

Not entire-ly___ it did glitch into U2

I think Ganryu was better IN previous version.

…and BTW…you must say ‘Ooh Ah’ when doing his variation of the Ocho Grab

Shawn, I’m actually trying to spread the word around the site a bit. Trying to see what everyone’s opinion would be.
