Cool commentary, cute girls, and nice music.

Dope ass video.

Dude, that was really sick.

I really have to come down and chill with you guys… Great video!!

Anyone know anything about ‘Pink Panther’ in Tsukuba, Ibaraki? I saw some SF4 ‘pink panther’ matches under Tsukuba youtube videos and am assuming it’s an arcade but can’t find out much aside from that.

I’m moving there in 4 days, let me investigate and maybe I can find out some info!

EDIT: Ok here you go:

/sarcasm

LOL!

So my buddy and I are planning a trip to Asia next summer (don’t have a choice since that’s the only time I get vacation). Is Tokyo really as hot as people make it out to be? I spent some time in Shanghai a few years ago during September and I remember it being super hot and humid, but not unbearable. Is Tokyo’s weather similar?

i think it depends on what your definition of hot is. there is a high of 32c with ~78% humidity in edogawa-ku today. being a sd native all my life makes me die in this weather. but my friend that lives here told me that’s even more unbearable in july and august. so short answer is yes, but you can use your hotel ac as much as you like in your hotel room but walking around outside is a different story.

ya… like be all cool inside then walk outside and start to sweat… not cool… I am from NorCal so I am hatin this weather. night time is the same story… the humidity just dont go away…

Is anyone else going to NSB? I’m going, and if someone wants a very average Sakura player for their team, I’m down for teaming up!

Otherwise, itll be fun to watch and hang out. :smiley:

I’m going, im not sure if i have a team or not right now(still in discussion with some people), though if i need a team member i dont mind teaming with a sakura

Awesome, i’ll be going either way, so if you need an extra team member, then I’ll totally be glad to help! If you already have one then it’s cool either way. :slight_smile:

how much is nsb? i might be interested since i’m a new guy in town.

I think it’s like 500 yen a person?

yeah, its not expensive, standard japanese tournament costs from 100yen to 500 yen usually…

Yo dudes, I’m gonna head down to the 5v5 today. I’m just gonna watch, cause I didn’t regg a team, but it should be good fun anyways.

Maybe run into a few of you there!
