does anyone here know how to solder or know somewhere where i can get my sanwa buttons installed i’ve never done it and dont want to break my stick, im in west valley so hopefully there is someone in the area
Yeah, my red ryu headband is in the pic as well. 
My mom lives in West Valley (I grew up there), and I go there quite frequently. Once I get my Sanwa buttons and do my own mod, I’d be happy to help you when I get some time.
There are several tutorials on the web if you search for them too.
Hey guys,
I’ll txt you guys individually later, just got back from Vegas, thinking about a get together tourney tonight Friday or tomorrow Saturday, what would be best for you guys. Txt me at 801 556 5356 or just respond to thread.

It would have to be after Utes game tonight, so around 7 pm. BYU and Utah State both knocked out, I could gives a rat’s ass about BYU but Utah State almost pulled it off.
I’m down for Saturday (tomorrow) night…can’t do it tonight because I actually get to see my family for once.
It’s official Saturday tomorrow night tourney.
had
The family is in town for a funeral, so we’ll see if I can go, but I sure do want to be there. This should be good prep for Tuesday at the U. What time are you going to start?
Yeah, I’ll be able to make it tomorrow.
Just give a time and I’ll be there.
hadouken82 is in Salt Lake right? Maybe i’ll go saturday…
My number again is 801 556 5356 call me for directions, I live in Sugar House. I want to start tourney at 7 or 8. However, if anyone wants to come early just to play and practice with me, since I havent played in a week call me please. I really want to get my shit down. As of now, I have 3 sticks for the ps3, and 1 stick for the xbox.

Played a good set with a friend of mine in NM yesterday afternoon, and cut some solid match vids out of it.
http://www.gamespot.com/users/ShenlongBo/video Eight vids as of this posting, eight more going up later.
Andrew, sorry to blow you off yesterday, man. Adrian (the NM player) was already setting the camera up and everything when I got your invite. Hopefully you and I can throw down sometime next week.
Alright tonight:
-
Saturday, tonight, 3/21/09, I expect ppl over around 6:30 pm, be there sharp, we will play and practice around for awhile then get the tourney started.
-
Bring any sticks you have, but I have more than enough to provide.
-
We will be running two televisions also, both LCD’s.
-
My number is 801 556 5356, if you are new and need directions call. Also, if you have questions call.
-
I hope some of you come early around 4:30 pm, b/c that’s when I’ll be around to play with you guys.
Danny/Chase haven’t played you guys in awhile. Mike, you better be there. Dana I know you got a full plate but try your best, Andrew will need a lift. Kelly you’re always around :). Matt, I want some of these guys who weren’t there last time to see your Sim play. Quiet Brothers always invited. Coldshadow/Lordbiff would love to see new players.
Tuesday Tourney at Utah, this will be good practice b/c these are the ppl you will play against ON STICKS. If you thought these guys were good on pads, watch them on quality sticks, it’s amazing.

Hello thar peeps, I’m a friend of coldshadows and just thought I’d drop in and introduce myself. I’ll probably be showing up with him to some of these events you guys are putting on. It’ll be fun to have some different competition besides coldshadow for once. See you there.
Sorry, not going to be able to make it tonight guys. Been really sick since Thursday with the flu or something. Feeling a lot better today, but wouldn’t want to get anyone sick. Plan on making it to the U on Tuesday though, and I’ll be there if you do it again next week.
Hey guys,
Very successful get together tonight guys, 11 ppl. I don’t expect it to always be this big however I think having a showing of 8 guys or more per week or every 2 weeks would be nice.
I won’t talk about the mini-tourney b/c Danatorp will cover all that.
Thanks for Brian/Thomas to come out for the first time. Your guys Guile and Abel are nutz. Pad players represent.
Wish I could make it Tuesday but work beckons 
Dana, Andrew, Nathan, Dillon, Chase, Danny, Kelly, Mike: thanks for making it out.
Hopefully the Triplets and company and Matty can make it. Throw in a Gief, El Fuerte, and Sim player an we got a great variety going.
GG’s. My Chun > Danny’s Viper for best bitch award.

Thanx Andy that was way fun! 
It was awesome meeting everyone. I was definitely surprised at how skilled everyone was. Oh and thanx for loaning me the controller for the U of U tourney too, i’ll take good care of it.
It was fun, guys.
Looks like I’m going to have to step it up and practice if I’m going to compete in more of these tourneys.
As for Viper, I’m too nervous using some of her better combos in a real match.
And no, I’m not going Vega. He’s just a fun character to use.
I would’ve liked to have some Marvel going, but maybe next time.
GG, guys.
Yeah that was way fun. I definitely need to work on my Abel skills, and after playing tonight I can see some pretty clear problems I have… cough getting thrown 9 times in a row cough…
I hope to do more of these soon. It was a lot more fun than I was expecting.
That was a great turnout, thanks for coming everyone, and again to Andy for being the gracious host…props to you man.
I couldn’t believe that Guile Brian has…so good.
Andrew keeps getting better each time we get together, I don’t think I won more than a round or two tonight against him. Sagat and Blanka seem to be my kryptonite!
I’m glad that Nate and Dylan showed up again, you guys keep coming and you will get better. Just keep playing, watch youtube vids of claw/dictator, and do the combo trials to get a better feel of the links and combos.
Thomas, nice Abel. I noticed you hitting with a crossup j.MK into c.HP that you cancel to the qcf+P off the first hit of c.HP. You should let both hits come out and if they connect, do the ultra, and if it gets blocked, cancel the second hit of c.HP into either his roll, qcf+p, or FADC to back out. It takes some practice, but you will eventually be able to hit confirm c.HP.
Chase, thanks for bringing your AIAB stick, now I know what to expect when I get mine…can’t wait. Here’s some Akuma vids:

I like how we did the tournament. Instead of having all 11 of us do the double elim, we did two pools to get the top four from each to make an 8 man tourney. That made a lot of sense, good thinking Andy.
Anyways, it’s 3am and I’m tired z_z
Dude, Kelly, you could have me if you
a. used more ex’s
b. landed your super/ultra more often
c. headbutted more
I wasn’t too scared to jump at your Balrog. I should be scared shitless to even think about jumping. You know what I mean?
I checked out all your youtube videos today. I love your passion. Love it.
Andy, you are the man. I look forward to these parties so much. They make me so happy. You are so generous and kind to us all, man. You’ve earned my respeK - I got your back, bitch! Ha. I see your improvement more than anyone else.
I read Dana’s recap of the party. It’s awesome.
Till next time, fellows.
