Utah Thread: Arcade Edition @ GameGrid

Andy, I’m tired of you being mean to me. I just want you to know that if you make fun of me like 13 or 14 more times, I’m outta here! :annoy: lulz

As for standardizing a platform for RanBats… I think this would solve a lot of issues. I can always bring my ghetto ass modded XBOX with my pirated copy of SFIV. (hey, broke dudes gotta be able to play, too)

As for the next RanBat… I’m not going to be there. Headed back down south this Friday. Will probably be gone a couple of weeks. I’ll see you guys on XBL for some casuals though.

I’ll get the website updated later on. My wife is actually putting out tonight, so I gotta go. May be tomorrow before I update. :smiley:

What you leaving for like 2 weeks? Damn man, we’ll be missing ya at the next ranbat dawg, I won’t have anyone to beat on. Yo nice coldshadow, however I was thinking about having casuals Thursday also, but if you are gonna have it that’s cool. We can have multiple casuals going on.

Yo guys, check this out:

This my hybrid ps3/xbox360 stick. I’ll probably change out the Lord of the Ring’s crystal ball looking balltop for this bat top: http://lizardlick.com/images/for_sale/joysticks/sanwa_lb30n_b.jpg

Shit looks hot as hell. Not gonna lie…battop is the WAY TO GO!

Matty, since you don’t use your finkl anymore, give it to me or better yet, you should put a chthulu board in there.

Next 2 weeks, I’m going into training mode, gonna play at least 45 minutes a night.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…we’ve hit the magic number: 50. 50 people on the books for UTSF. Granted, not all have actively participated, but we’re working on it. We’ve led the horses to water of SF4, but how do we get everyone to drink? With that, we have 7 new people that have thrown down with us this week and I barely know any of them. Travis is Brians brother, Phil got to Round 2 of the Gamestop tournament in Riverton, and Renzo plays a good Fuerte. That’s all I got. Too many people, too little time. Great to have you!

$115…that the total money pot totalled from Ranbat 1.2 at Andy’s house last Saturday. Beginning at 7pm sharp…ish…old and new faces from all along the mighty Wasatch and parts beyond converged to prove that they’re not just Live gods but can win in real life. Brian’s Family Man (Guile) is beginning to show some cracks in the armor, but not enough to knock him out of first place. He fought his way through the winners bracket to face Andrew and Pirate Phelps (Sagat) in the finals but again proved to be too much. Dana showed his shorn dome for the first time in the top rankings, placing 3rd with Rose and the ElectricMayhem (Blanka), a spot normally reserved for the BronzeBalrog, Kelly, whose Boxer slipped to 5th place this week behind Mike and his eclectic mix of Blanka, Rose, and E.Honda.

Matty’s Dhalsim provided some “Holy @#$%!!” moments during the night, with the Yoga Catastrophe’s strange hitbox on Sagat’s crouching jab (Andrew) and comboing Sim’s super from a combo. A small controversy that has since been resolved, and should be read and understood: RANBATS ARE ON 360. Short discussion. Lot’s of Fuerte’s that night which is always a good thing. Variety is the spice of life, after all, and Fuerte’s one spicy chef. Surprising no-shows…the Bleyl’s, due to work and other committments. More Lariats to come in the next Ranbat, I’m sure. Also, the twins, Bobby and Johnny, were not in attendance due to an obligation to attend the World Cyber Gamers SF4 championship in NYC. We’ll forgive you…if you bring back souvenirs and pics.

GG to all that showed, both new and old. It’s getting more and more difficult to keep up with all the new blood, but that’s not a bad thing at all. Look up the videos on Matty’s YouTube page and study up, kids. Ranbat 1.3 is only 2 weeks away, so bring your A game.

UTSF Video of the Week: Flaming Gin and Juice

[media=youtube]uso6E3H3M1E&feature=channel_page"[/media]…epic match and winner of the Video of the Week. From now on, now that we have enough match and casual vids to choose from, I’m just going to PM people and tally votes instead of making this a committee of one. Good luck!

Awesome write up as always Dana, I freakin love reading your weekly recaps. They’re all creative and shit :slight_smile:

Links don’t work!

LOL Thanks; that’s what a year of journalism in college gets me, I guess. I always feel like I overhype it, but what the hell. It’s fun. Just keep reading them during our matches in the next Ranbat so I it can be 2-1 in my favor instead of yours!!! :slight_smile:

Updated the links above.

Great update Dana. Hopefully Kyle is gonna do some updating on the website. I’m gonna start posting some shit there once I know what to do. . .I tried editing old posts but didn’t know how.

Wow thats sexy. I actually was thinking more that the ball was supposed to be her fireball or something. But yeah either way, even though I haven’t used sticks long I think I like bats better than balls. That sounds nasty, maybe its the rum thinking.

anybody have octagon restrictor plates they would like to sell me? I will happily give you american bucks for them, i need 2 or 3.

I just gave away the one I had. LizardLick is taking some orders now though. I’d hurry and grab them before they suspend new orders… again

I was but i don’t want to wait a month for my order, maybe i should wait for modchipman to get them back in stock. I cant play on square plate.

Good job to everyone. These ranbats are the best!

GGs to UtahsBowser aka Zman94ok tonight on PSN. Your Blanka is so fierce online o_O I think we played over 50 games lol

Got my Hauppauge up and running tonight! Will bring it to the next Ranbat if you guys want to record on two sets. Maybe that way we can get more of the winner’s bracket this time.

Oh yeah, and subscribe tohttp://www.youtube.com/user/SuperMattyFighter2T or you are auto DQ’d for the next Ranbat! For reals.

Hey who is in charge of the Utah Fighters silver friends list on xbl? i sent an invite request because my other 360 is getting repaired, my second gamertag is Liquid Simeon. I want to improve my Fuerte so i dont lose so bad next ranbat

The twins are in control of that and I’m not sure if they’re back from New York yet or not. I’m sure they’ll accept your request sometime this week.

Oh, Renzo’s Elf is really scrubby, but you might learn something from him!

hahah ya it is especially now that im playing on a joystick i can do his infinite on a dpad but not a joystick :annoy: it blowsss

and i guess gamecrazy is crappin out on me and theyre not getting that TE 360 stick so if anyone can find one for meh it would be greatly appreciated

First off, you are lucky I kept whiffing Super taunt with Dan and doing his super as a result.

My Blanka is honestly that beastly offline. Some of the tight timing things I did (comboing into ultras well as my super) Is stuff I cant do offline yet because I am attuned to online play. Soon I will be that beastly offline as I have meetings out here with the ogden peeps.

P.S. I think my Dan can beat Andy and his chun Li =D Wouldnt you agree Konqrr?

With talk like this you better be winning the next Ranbat heh
