Also in other news I'll be switching to stick when I start playing the game again, so I should be relatively handicapped for a bit

Wait, what? What? WHAT? You've been playing with a pad all this time?

Did you win the Manchester regional tournament with a pad?

FFS, basically.

Are there any good new vids out there from the past month or two? I fancy watching some pros today for tips. I miss this thread being updated daily

Sorry to flip-flop but I'd like to switch to Ryu - OH MY GOD THE EXCITEMENT - for the next league if that's OK.

So, Mr Gerbik: I love your enthusiasm. You're like an HD:R evangelist! But why's this game so much better than SF4? For me, I find the inputs far harder to execute than in SF4 and the limitations of move choice etc make the game feel restrictive to me. I'm not spoling for a fight, I just want some understanding of why you think it's so much better (aside from the community aspect c/o lobbies)?

IN!

gozaimas - gozaimas - Ken

Looks like CCC rage-quit the league...

Aaaand third place goes to...

Donk 3 - 0 Gozaimas

Much closer than the scoreline would suggest, Gozaimas played a good pressure game and Ultra'd through my Super (again!) but I managed to keep my cool, block enough crossups and make enough of my own count to take the match.

I then went around with the rest of my roster and other than when using Rufus, I got battered. And even got battered once with Rufus.

Sorry to edge you out dude - I had a feeling you were going to tank me before I came on tonight but winning a warmup tournament did wonders I guess!

Yeah, this match was fucking epic - probably the best of the season for me in terms of technical play and mind games going on. Really good work Donk. I'm happy you're going up a league

gozaimas - gozaimas v ChuChuChris - ChuChuChris

Result: 2 - 1

Winner: gozaimas

gozaimas - gozaimas v betamale - betamale

Result: 3 - 0

Winner: gozaimas

Good close matches guys. Couple more then I'm done. You around now Stefcha?

I saw him last night - he's OK. I'll nudge him.

Also, will be on this evening to mop up some of my remaining match ups.

If he does indeed have any real representation at all.

The only letter Mobigame received from an attorney over the course of the past 12 months was from Don A. Hernandez from the Hernandez Law Group (dated 10th July, 2009)

I wrote to Don when researching the Eurogamer piece but, predictably, received no response. I was, however, told that Langdell was no longer represented by the firm.

Hey! Back from hols (a.k.a. Street Fighter summer camp) and fighting fit.

ChuChuChris - ChuChuChris v gozaimas - gozaimas

Result: 1-2

Winner: gozaimas

Good games buddy - love a tight 'Gief match.

Am about tonight, wife-willing.

I've posted in the holiday thread but just a heads up that I'm away for 10 days from tomorrow. I can play my games ce soir if you kids are around though.

Be warned though: I'LL REDUCE YOUR HEALTH TO ZERO IN A SINGLE COMBO!

Round 12

gozaimas - gozaimas v Mr. Gerbik - Shogun Bob

1 - 2, Mr Gerbik wins.

Not as close as our previous match-up, sadly. I obliterated Blanka in the first round and was feeling pretty damned confident about the whole thing only to be promptly obliterated in the following two. Going to take a leaf out of stefcha's book and read up on some Blanka match-up tips for next time. Good work Bob.

Edit: Hmm. Maybe not.

Hey!

I'm away from the 14th-24th.

Infexious: you are amazing. But I can't say that we miss you much back down in the 2nd Division :)

See you!

Oh jesus!

Donk 1 - 2 Gozaimas

1-1 again to begin with, won the first, got obliterated in the second (though how can you ultra through my ultra? That's not on that isn't), and in the third... made an epic comeback in the first round after getting nobbled quite heavily and lost by one pixel of health bar at timeout, and wasted my ultra in the second to practically condemn myself to defeat.

Great matches, very close, but I'm totally gutted!

Confirmed. Great matches and totally could have gone either way. That TO was terrifying. It looked like a dead heat to me from the health bars at the end...

Anyway, well played.

ChuChuChris: tonight? TONIGHT?

Round 6

goziamas - goziamas (Ken) vs Hyper_P - Hyper P (Sakura)

1-2

Winner: Hyper_P

A good close match this, with neither of us looking like running away with the win. Thanks for the fun matches after, especially the brief Dan-on-Dan action. I wanted that third round comeback.

Yeah this was a great match. I think I expended all of the energy on that first game (which was SUPER tight) so, when you were rock solid again in the second match it sorta broke my resolve and I lost it in the mind.

That ridiculously long Sakura combo you pull out whenever I make a stupid mistake is just devastating. Also I jump in on you WAY too much. Learned a lot with those games. Good work.

Gozaimas (Ken) vs Funtime Dave (Sagat)

2-1

Winner: Gozaimas

Good games Dave and Betamale.

Facing a Sagat always makes me knees knock a bit.

Hyper_P: Sorry I missed you. Was in the Betamale match. Am good for tomorrow if you're around.

I can do mine this evening if any of you kids are around.

Yeah, well-played on my matches last night guys. A bit sad to have not won one yet, but pleased that they both went down to the very last round.

In both matches I won the first game and then lost the following two. Not sure whether that's because I lose my nerve or my opponents grasp my play style and adapt accordingly. Street Fighter, eh?

Am on for the next hour if you guys are, Mr Gerbick and The Count!

Really good work Stef.

Also, what an excellent spread of character choices. Awexome.

A friend of mine signed up to the forum so he can partake. However, he can't post yet so I'm reserving his place if that's OK:
