We already defeated Sheng-long! The Akuma Video Thread

Just to pet uguys know i made top8 today at superversusbattle. Tomorrow is finals day where I will be facing ryan hart, skatan and others. Vids coming soon

So you’re the Akuma my friend was saying made mine look like shit. Damn you for ruining my street cred! Haha, just kidding man. Good shit on SvB! I was thinking of going down but these assholes thinking it’s funny to riot in London put me off. I’m not risking any of that shit for a tournament. Good stuff anyhow, I will look forward to meeting you at SvB next year (if you’re there!)

Good luck against all these people. Ryan Hart is a monster so you gotta watch out. Daigo show up this year?

Theres nothing left of the riots man. Daigo didnt come.
Why dont u come today zidt11 is there too.

Go get em!

Oh Zid made the jouney over? One of the soundest guys in history. Well I’d have to plan beforehand. It’s about a 3 hour train journey and about 4/5 in a car depending on traffic. I couldn’t just come over for a day…well I could but there’d be no point. I have some relatives in London who’s house I think I could stay over at so I’ll probably make the plans for next year. Good luck anyway man. Make sure you body that punk imstilldadaddy in the money match.

Yo, MBR, I heard you got 4th losing to F Word’s Ibuki from a friend. That’s unlucky man, although F Word is a complete monster and has a really good Ibuki. Ryan Hart took it I see. Anyhow man, look forward to seeing the videos soon, must have been an insanely strong showing by you to get 4th! Congrats once again :slight_smile:

I was disappointed by my own play in top8. Dropped combos, fail reads and non existent footsiegame. All because i dont have alot of xp against rufus ibuki and cody. Im satisfied by the result though my goal was top4 and I made it. Vids gonna be uploaded next week I guess.
Also imstillthedaddy didnt show up today.

What a surprise. The guy claims he’s better than Daigo, says he’s beaten Wolfkrone in FT10’s, says he’s better than Alioune blah blah but when it comes down to the crunch he’s either never there thanks to some convenient situation that had arisen or he just doesn’t perform. To be quite honest he was probably out looting during the riots knowing the type of person he is.

Anyhow, you can’t really be disappointed in Top 4! That’s crazy man. Andreas has a really good Rufus too but he’s beatable. A friend of mine almost took him out at a tournament last year using Bison but claims a laggy TV screen let him down else he would have beaten Andreas. Did you play Ryan Hart at any point, think you could have gone far against his Yun? I’m still waiting for Alioune to turn up to a SvB -.- I swear he’d win it. Alioune is Europe’s best by miles IMO

.

Yeah man, that stuff sucks. How is the UK scene meant to be gain exposure with no stream man. At least re-arrange the venue so there is internet. I think there is a lot of things I would do myself if I were to run a tournament but I just don’t have the money or time for it to happen, who knows…maybe in the future. I would love to put on a really good tournament.

What were your reasons for being so disappointed with the tournament? I don’t wanna turn up and get pissed off at the tournament because then it’ll just be a waste of time. I could easily spend the £100+ it’ll cost me much better elsewhere :slight_smile:

Theres a pretty useful video someone posted a while back about what you can do after each sweep range. wanna show it to someone, can someone plz tell me what its called.

Like I said im not disappointed with my resukt but my play wasnt on point at all. I havent had these tourney nerves since one of my first tourneys. Need to practice the less common matchups alot. I only know the most common matchups and was pretty clueless against rufus and ibuki. Oh, and dont pay attention to me scrubbin teleports against fword. I was mindfucked about throwing the ultra out.

@zidt yea man i heard i now think the risk reward vs rufus with u2 is abit fucked up now. Maybe i start using u1 again. Btw im back in holland just now and lost half my fightmoney because i lost my fast checkin papers and had to pay a hefty fine. Fuck ryan air

Btw i spent about 300 euros going there but my sponsor is gonna pay me back becausevI made top4. Tournament delay on all 3 days was abit of a downer for me.

As I said I played horrible (to my opinion) in the finals.
Someone will upload poule and group matches later this week.
My personal style is to wait and capitulize on small mistakes.
Due to nerves I went kinda rushdown.
Which I suck at.

Good shit MBR! While any player out to win will always be disappointed with anything less than 1st, 4th place is still a great showing considering this is a major tourney.

But I look so freeeee :frowning:

Can’t feel too bad. Andreas is the best Rufus in Europe :slight_smile:

Now we just need to get people like Chocolillo and Gold Seyyad out and take SvB by storm with Akuma’s.

I couldve beaten him if I knew the matchup perfectly and had a cool head instead of being blurred with tension and hype

edit:
btw faz add me on xbl man

Haha but I’m sure next year you will come back stronger than ever! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the prize money for 1st 2nd and 3rd?

I know ryan had 2.5k.
2nd dunno
3rd 180
me 90
