SFIV - 1st Division - Week 3 - Season 3

[strawdonkey]

Donk 0 - 3 Dante Sigona

Very cagey, a case for both sides where we only had to get a couple of openings in a round to eat a full bar. Closer than the scoreline suggests but still beaten soundly!

Mr Pan Man 0 - 3 Donk

Finally, a win! I took the first match pretty quickly with super violent, non-thinking Rose... and quickly exclaimed "I'm hungry."

Yeah.

Panic started to set in a little in the second match but thankfully managed to grind out a win, and mixed it up a bit in the last match. Pleased to have found my groove a bit at last.

CFTGs all!

Cale, Polmon, Carlito, Gozaimas - give me a shout if you want to play, think I'm going to stick GTAIV on for a bit but will happily come back to SFIV, just for you

[Michael J Glocks]

I played TWO games.

Dood 1 - 2 Dante Sigona

Strawdonkey 0 - 3 Dante Sigona

After dood took about 65% of my lifebar with EX legs to ultra in the first game I proceeded to run the fuck away for the rest of them, which I doubt was much fun for either of us. Jump back HP to the corner then walljump out, ad nauseum. I'm sorry. Seth is a prick. I hate him.

I was a little more aggressive in the match with Strawdonkey (I think I did a walk up SPD once, and one whole cross up), but soon resorted to the old ways and felt suitably ashamed when I grabbed him out of a soul spark AT FULL SCREEN with my ultra. I did that two or three times. Seth is broken. Why is he even in the game.

[strawdonkey]

I love your writeups, they're so concise and brilliant

[cale]

Gentlemen: I am aware of my outstanding matches and have kind of primed Mrs Cale that tonight's the night that changes!

So if anyone wants to book a slot then please do.

[carlito]

I, for one, am in on some Cale tonight.

[strawdonkey]

Slot book please! I'll be on from about 8ish with any luck.

[giant_frying_pan]

I should be around between the hours of 19:00 and 22:30, cale.

[cale]

Great!

Mr, Pan I'll try and jump on about 7/7.15 if that works?

Donk, let's roll at 8pm.

Carlito, when you about from? I have to play it careful with t'missus, you see.

[cale]

[giant_frying_pan]

I'll BE there!

I'll be THERE!

I'LL be there!

I'LL BE THERE!

[carlito]

The window of opportunity for Street Fighter action has been drastically reduced by the cancellation of my girlfriend's night on the sauce.

Might be able to squeeze a few games in later - between 2200h and 2300h perhaps.

[giant_frying_pan]

cale - cales moog 3 - 0 giant_frying_pan - giantfryingpan

I blew my 'good Cammy play' load entirely in the first match - which I lost anyway! There were a couple of chances for me in the latter two matches but not enough to cast any doubt on the outcome or scoreline. The first match dictated the outcome of the whole shebang.

Well played, cale!

[strawdonkey]

Cale vs Donk: Donk wins by an undetermined margin

I have forgotten whether it was 2-1 or 3-0 as I was having so much fun in the friendlies Had a war of the Roses at the end, quite disappointed to have lost after Cale decided to punch my face off after getting wise to me

GGs!

[Polmon]

I'm around tonight if anyone wants to do their match against me (carlito, cale, and strawdonkey atm). Just drop me a msg on Live

[strawdonkey]

Hey Polmon, sorry I missed your message. I had the football on, and didn't realise I'd got messages waiting

I'll probably be available between 8-9:30 starts tomorrow, if that's any good for you? Friday and Saturday are out, and Sunday is touch and go until I remember what I'm supposed to be doing on that day.

Same goes for: Gozaimas and Carlito!

CONFIRMATIONS OF RESULTINGS!

(I swear I replied last night, but I think the post failed or something.. )

I played TWO games.

Dood 1 - 2 Dante Sigona

Strawdonkey 0 - 3 Dante Sigona

After dood took about 65% of my lifebar with EX legs to ultra in the first game I proceeded to run the fuck away for the rest of them, which I doubt was much fun for either of us. Jump back HP to the corner then walljump out, ad nauseum. I'm sorry. Seth is a prick. I hate him.

Too right he is a prick!!

Good game though fella, I really need to work on my chasing down of runaways - both you and Carlito have given me a headache just by running backwards a lot. Ok, when put like that it sounds a bit lame, but I'm more lame for not being able to punish you for cageyness.

Look forward to our rematch - hopefully I'll be able to cahse you down a bit more efficiently

Donk 0 - 3 Dood

Game 1: Dood, Dood

Game 2: Dood, Dood

Game 3: DONK PERFECT, Dood, Dood

I have no idea what that was all about but I got totally fucking annihilated. Well played sir!

And MATE! I could kinda tell you hadn't played against a decent Chun before, you looked a bit confused at times! Good games all the same though, that perfect was not a fluke - just one of those rounds where every choice you made was one superior to mine!

[Polmon]

carlito - Dollarez 3-0 Polmon - PolmonTheNinja

I got ruined. Good games though, and cheers for all the friendlies afterwards. Sorry I had to bail - didn't really want to, but I gotta go to the sorting office ot pick up Demon's Souls ( \o/ ) first thing tomorrow so I need to get to bed a bit earlier than usual

Cale - I'll be up for doing ours tomorrow evening. Similarly; strawdonkey, if you're around, I'll be on

Well played, cale!

I kind of feel like I should apologise for the way I played really. I wasn't as attacking as I like to be normally but after everything I did in an attacking way was trumped by Cannon Spikes against Stefcha's Cammy the other day, it was a case of once bitten twice shy in regards to the army broad!

Top set of friendlies afterwards though. I knew revenge would come for you when you activated your boxer, but at least it was a tighter set than when I sent poor Dan into the fray last season.

Cale vs Donk: Donk wins by an undetermined margin

I have forgotten whether it was 2-1 or 3-0 as I was having so much fun in the friendlies Had a war of the Roses at the end, quite disappointed to have lost after Cale decided to punch my face off after getting wise to me

GGs!

It was 3-0 to you, chap. And very comprehensive it was too. Just couldn't get started until it was too late and your cross-ups were pretty perfect in keeping me locked down. Top Rose play. Glad I managed to restore some pride in the friendlies though. Well played, sirrah!

Polmon, when's best for you tonight? Post up and we'll do it!

[carlito]

Yeah good games Polo. I think Bison is a pretty tough matchup for Cammy - she doesn't seem to have have too much in the locker to negate the complex "hold db all the time" defensive strategy that I have worked out.

Good friendlies too - I really need to sort my life out and get at least a basic grasp of Abel at some point, because it's just tragic at the moment when random select picks him for me. And Fuerte. And Fei Long.

Sorry I missed you Cale - I think I am going to be out tonight. I am really looking forward to playing a decent Gouken as I have been dicking about with him a bit in Championship mode and getting my stupid face slapped off by all and sundry.

[cale]

I am really looking forward to playing a decent Gouken.

You'll be looking forward a little longer then 'cause I'm playing like a lead pipe at the moment. Especially against a strong Bison like what you've got.

I'm almost starting to wish I didn't pick the old dude this season but that's mainly due to the near obscene levels of fun I'm having really getting stuck into Ken for the first time.

Let me know when you wanna do it, pardner.

[stefcha]

Yeah good games Polo. I think Bison is a pretty tough matchup for Cammy - she doesn't seem to have have too much in the locker to negate the complex "hold db all the time" defensive strategy that I have worked out.

This is one thing I hope Super sorts out for Cammy, stuff like Cannon Strike and Hooligan Combo not working on crouching block coupled with no standing overhead really doesn't help. It does mean I end up throwing an awful lot as a result, but it makes me feel dirty in some matches after about the 20th throw. Other things to improve would be the substandard pokes (just about anyone elses win) and the command inputs which are shite considering HDR proved they can be tweaked without breaking anything.
