Utah Thread: Arcade Edition @ GameGrid

I don’t care where the ranbat takes place. The U is perfectly fine with me.

However, I’m sure that it will make it hard for some people, who were planning to attend on Saturday, to make it to the U. Especially people outside of Salt Lake. 6pm is kind of rough even for me and I’m right in the area. You people better speak up!

Keep the ranbats at their initial date. While the U would be fine with a lot of us. Many have already made plans to get the dates previously posted off of work, or just already have it planned.

Just keep it saturday in my opinion. It’s just easier for most people to make it to these events on weekends. Plus what would we do if some random people showed up to the U tourney and wanted to enter that tourney but weren’t interested in our ranbat yet placed in the top 6. It could fuck with our ranking system.

Oh man, at the 5 min mark of the Iyo vs Daigo video… Daigo wiffs a shoryuken and it looks like Iyo does B+Fierce (headbutt) into Light Yoga Flame xx Super. I need to start using that. And using my slides more effectively in fireball fights so I don’t always end up in the corner. Good video.

I hear Poongko got his shit pushed in trying to be way too aggressive.

Matty, thanks for posting me up on Youtube, I’m immortalized!

Personally, I would like to keep the ranbats at Andy’s and on Saturdays. I really like it this way.

Also those videos are sick.

Those videos were awesome, it was a nice surprise after waking up from that sucky jazz game which I fell asleep during halftime.

That Poongko vs Justin vid had me lol with the “USA USA USA” chanting and at the end when Justin pumped his fist calling for the crowd to do it again XD

F*** Balrog, I’m going Rufus :slight_smile:

SPOILER tag not working…so whatever:
Poongko and his flashy play got put in check by everyone, he didn’t win a match at the end.

EDIT: I really enjoy having our meetings at Andy’s house too, lots of space, central, comfortable. Andy <3 (no homo) :slight_smile: XD

Fuck Rufus, Daigo made Ryu look so fun to play. . .too bad Wade’s Ryu’s 10x better, you heard it here first. Jazz have me depressed man. . .was thinking about going to Thursday’s game. . . but I don’t know now with Okur being out.

Ya know, if Poongko just played more calculated and little bit better fundamentals he’s be waayyy crazier. His combo execution is awesome, although he lost (they had casuals the night before and Gootecks said he was nutz). . .he can still keep up with top guys b/c he at least took Justin to 7 rounds and actually took a round off Daigo. . .

Okur being sidelined means that we only have Boozer/Harpring to post up and they are both broken…it’s sad this year.

I agree, Poongko just needs more experience with different playstyles and he will be tops. His execution is unbelievable with all those focus cancels, 10x harder than Rog’s shit. He is very fun to watch though.

Also, anyone thinking that Justin is cocky…well that may be so, but he is just getting HYPE. Those videos made my day.

Jazz suck. It’s hard being depressed when I knew they would get swept anyway. Doesn’t matter who they got matched up with. If it wasn’t the Lakers they would still lose.

Speaking of depressing though… Looks like my Finkle is on the death bed. When holding down/right on the stick the ‘A’ button doesn’t work at all. If you continue holding the button when you move to another position on the stick then short kick will then fire off. Sometimes if you keep on holding after that the kicks will keep firing off constantly until you let go. Really disappointing after only having the stick for 3 months. I emailed the guy, so I guess we’ll see what he says. Guess I’ll give this TE stick a shot or something. Meh

I hear Justin didn’t say shit and was off the stage faster than hell when Daigo beat his ass.

This year, they would even lose to the Rockets XD

I noticed that same thing at Lord LuXun’s house when I was using your Finkle stick while playing Balrog. I was charging down/right and when I hit LK Balrog would do something that wasn’t LK lol I didn’t really think anything of it then, perhaps it’s just a wiring issue. Can you open it up and see if there’s a ground wire in the wrong place or loose somewhere on down, right, or A?

I opened it up and everything looked fine to me. I dunno…

Yeah, just email FINKL. . .he’ll get back to you in a timely manner. . . Don’t matter, it seems like the PCB is just fucked. John can solder that shit for you hellah fast too as long as you have a controller handy. PCB just probably shorted or something. That case is amazing though.

I’m all down for ppl talking shit and stuff. Jwong gets that shit hype which I think is all for good fun. But yeah watch the video. . .fool is gone hellah fast after losing. . .I wouldn’t take it so bad since he did so well against everyone else. I think it’s the fact that he lost so badly.
Daigo makes FADC to ultra with Ryu look light doing lightning kicks w/ chun or blank’s electricity. Fucking smooth.

had

P.S. Feel bad for the Jazz. . . they my 2nd favorite team… .behind the one they are playing now. They got riddled with injury, couldn’t get things gelling well when ppl came back, Boozer’s a bitch. Hard fo me to go to a playoff game and spend money for tickets if they gonna get fucked. I went to three games last year. …shit was off the hook.

I’m really looking forward to next season, a healthy team, plus a good replacement for Boozer will be nice.

Alright homies,

It’s 8 pm Sunday night and I’m gonna go to a friend’s house for the Nuggets vs Hornets game.

Sofar, it seems everyone who has posted wants Saturday (except Wade. . .sorry dude no one cares about you)

Details will be posted on our official website: http://utahstreetfighters.blogspot.com/

Good night guys.

had

Sorry to have to do this to you Andy…

but it’s the 25th!! LOL

I’ll be there at around 4-4:30 to help setup.

How are we handling the brackets if there is an odd number of people? I think the way it is supposed to be done is to make the first bye the top seed, in this case it’s Brian. Then if another bye is needed it will go down the list making Andrew, Jacob, Me, then Mike. But I don’t think that many byes will be necessary.

I’m also assuming that the seeding is going from the previous tournament, not the overall rankings, correct? So we already know the first 6 placings on the bracket; Brian, Andrew, Jacob, Kelly, Mike, Dana. The rest will be placed randomly?

Yeah, I can show up early to help setup. No need to buy me dinner. You’ve spent enough on hosting this shit. And I’ll let TL know about it tomorrow. I’m sure he’ll show if he has nothing planned.

p.s. I suck on this TE stick :sad:

TE stick > you Matty…BTW, I’m making you an avatar with Dhalsim + Beanie.

Andy, I’ll take you up on that dinner offer, I’m too poor to buy my own shit lol

Yeah, I’m hoping to escape the clutches of work to help set up around 4:00, give or take a few minutes. As for dinner… Dude, we can get some five-dollar pizzas or something to keep the cost down. I’m gonna whore myself out this week to try and get some duckets to contribute.

ill still be at the damn u of u tourney andy and my goal is to beat you ya smart ass.

If I can make it back into town on saturday in time ill be there too but I doubt it

The UTSF news will be tomorrow. The wife needs the ol’ 8088 right now…I can’t believe that I still have a 3.5" drive…lol

I will, however, be on Live soon, for anyone that’s interested.

I’ll be at both tournaments this week. Naw thats what I was sayin to you.
