Ya I understand that you were just giving information from old magazine articles and what has been said already on the internet. When I have more time this week, I’ll give my list of great players and what they brought to the scene at the time and we can add it to yours. Biscuitchef is also another old school great that could help out with this.
I’m on ggpo now i’ll leave it on

Old Mastah, answer your e-mail please.
It’s been 3 out of 5 on the first page since forever ;p
aint nobody in the HF rooms when i visit in on ggpo.
If anyone wants some games give me a holler.
Thanks for arranging your match guys, do you want to play out the remaining games of a 3 of 5 series, or going ahead with this result?
Let me know thanks.
Old Mastah won by destruction, 3-0. Thanks for games.
Try hosting a game on Supercade too m8.
Thanks FiForce, dont feel bad, Old Masta is another great player, so it all good experience. Its tough to hang with these guys who have been playing for years.
Buiscut & Hadouken, let me know what you want to do*
Brackets updated in first post. Wow after so long and so many setbacks and delays. its really moing along well now!
If you want to play HF on GGPO then play AE with HF characters. HF isn’t really stable on GGPO in my opinion and AE with HF characters is a far better alternative.
Yup. Especially if the games mean something. So often HF on GGPO will desync right towards the end of a round; at the worst possible time. It doesn’t work out too well for a tourney haha.
Remember if your using HSF2 with HF only characters, to also use ‘Speed 1’. You can hard set this from the ‘F2’ game configuration so that the Free Select doesnt come up each match.
Ok I have to say Im excited about the next stage of the tourney. The seeded competitors will now start to meet, and we have two or three potential superfights, so I really hope most of the matches can be played on Supercade so that the replays can be saved.
The results from the entrants I am familiar with have gone pretty much according to my seeding, and out of these people, I’d say these are the matches to watch:
Poda vs Real Decoy.
I have Poda as the 2nd seed (after Old Masta) in the US bracket (prolly tied 2nd overall with Adoket / Paskis). A very good solid Ryu player, who also isnt afraid to fight dirty. Kinda like the rep that Mike Watson had in SF2, dirty but very good too.
Real Decoy is obv known for his Blanka, just check his awsome HF Blanka vids on youtube:

Blanka vs Ryu as everyone knows is a great match in HF. I think Real Decoy is gona have to get his Blanka Train going early on:

and shut down Poda’s game. If he can get Poda on the back foot and get some of his mixups going it could be a great match.
Then we have Old Masta vs True Old School.
Ive not seen TOS play, but the fact that these to guys are true WW veterans, means this could be good.
Adoket / Paskis vs The Dude next.
I have Adoket as the joint 2nd seed, (1st in Euro Bracket), I think the best player in Europe atm, since Serpico is focusing on SF4 tournies now.
The Dude is a great all around player, good with all 12 characters, but I think has focused more of late on a select few, so this should be a good match.
I think some of the other matches should be good too, since more players of the same level will be coming together, but I’m not familiar with alot of the guys. So anyway, good luck all, hoping for some good matchups.
Hi, Crayfish. Just to clarify, I’m horrible with Ryu. I play Ken and Vega though.
I played about 80 to 90 matches the other day with TOS. He’s a good player. His best character is Guile.
I played about 80 or 90 matches a week or two ago with TOS. He’s a tough player. His best character is Guile.
Silks won our match 3-1. Good games, man.
Awesome idea for an HF tourney, Cray. I love the game, but i let my love for it cloud my actual current ability. Thanks for the second opportunity, though.
Good luck to everyone!
