wooooooooooooooo bye.

Prolly gonna face funky next tho, and that one could honestly go either way.

Gonna try and see if Ant is down to put in his rounds tomorrow. Trouble with being 7 hours apart though is that it will make for a weird meeting time. This may actually end up going down on late Sunday (for me) early Monday (for him) if this keeps up.

My IP address should be in my mailbox just after 6 so we shall have confirmation one way or the other then!

:wave:

I'll probably be up late tonight if you wanna do it sooner rather than later, i'll be going to bed at like 4am, so like 11pm EST, if that's any good?

Should be all good, provided my weekend doesn't get any crazier. If I see you on I'll message you. I'm the higher seed meaning I have to be on the right of the screen, so you have to host, btw.

Just in case you've never done it before, you go into XBox Live battle, then Player match, then set it up like so:

Rounds: Best of 5
Time: 99
Private Slots: Yes

Then confirm it, send me an invite and prepare for battle. :y:

My ISP still fucked up but I worked around it by tethering my iPhone.

Also just found out I'm alright with Balrog, that was like the 2nd time I've ever used him too.

Yeah was really laggy but at least its something.

Was it? It didn't seem that bad on my end, had worse on my real connection.

Cool, what time ish?

It was the laggiest match I've ever had

Don't forget, you're not done yet. You still have a small chance to win it all.

Yeah, Ant is a lot better than he lets on. I have slightly more details

1. Ken v Ryu. Ant took it and I woke up and got serious.

2. Cammy v Balrog. I swept the series, but he gave me some trouble. He is an unconventional Cammy player. Threw me off. Every fight was "next hit wins."

3. Akuma v Bison. Swept this one too. Ant, you're playing Akuma like Ken and that doesn't work.

4. C. Viper v Sagat. I took the first round and then he dstroyed me the next. Squeeked out the last 2 rounds barely. His play style keeps forcing me to make mistakes.

5. Ken v Blanka. Never have I ever been so badly humiliated with Blanka. Shut me down completely. Mad props.

6. Cammy v Sagat. Ant straight swept me again. Uh oh, it's going the distance...

7. Ryu v Balrog. Balrog is my Ryu killer but Ant took it all the way to the final round. It's down to like 1 or 2 hits each, he goes for the hadouken, which he uses very effectively, and I bust out the Ex Straight and take it.

Ant is basically the man.

Sorry about the delay after the first fight tho. Had some unexpected guests and I was held up.

During my last 7 fight session with RoXer I realize my attack tactic in Street Fighter IV is very similar to Spartan tactics.

Turtling while slowly advancing and then murdering all in your path once you get close?

Alright, it would have to be between 4am and 4pm your time if its Sunday though.

:love:

Yeah basically i've never played anyone except Ken and Cammy properly, I really need to round out my game :(

Sorry I left the practice just now Rox, need to get some packing done before my match today.

Boomer takes our match 4-2.

Round 1: Balrog/Cammy: 'Rog has always been one of my kryptonites. He dominated, 3-0.
Round 2: Bison/Ken: I did well, winning 3-1.
Round 3: Guile/Ryu: A double KO! in round one. I need to stop jumping into flash kicks.
Round 4: Cammy/Fei: Boomer's got a nice Cammy. 3-0 for him.
Round 5: Balrog/Ken: I found my cure for 'Rog in Ken. 3-1 for me.
Round 6: Guile/Cammy: I kinda suck with Cammy now. Real close to a comeback at the end of round 3 when I hit the Gyrodrive Smasher and left Guile with a sliver of life. Unfortunately I only had a sliver as well. 3-0 Guile.

Our match is over. I beat Blitz 4-2.

Match 1 - Balrog v. Cammy (3-0)
Pretty quick match. Was spamming straights for some reason, but was pressuring him into the corner as you should.

Match 2 - Bison v. Ken (1-3)
I figured I would save at least one Bison match against a Ken/Ryu, but the strategy didn't work out. I felt really rusty with Bison honestly, since I've been practicing up on everybody else. Blitz jumps back a lot, so that defends Bison's Head Stomp perfectly. He handled me pretty easily, which disappointed me just because I like playing Bison so much.

Match 3 - Guile v. Ryu (3-1)
Been having a lot of fun with Guile lately, and was looking forward to playing vs. a shoto. I played a pretty patient Guile, but I still have a few patterns I'd like to get rid of. Useless EX flash kicks and stuff. Really love pulling Guile's Ultra in a timely manner, but didn't get a chance in this match.

Match 4 - Cammy v. Fei Long (3-0)
EX Hooligan FTW.

Match 5 - Balrog v. Ken (1-3)
Blitz is obviously best with Ken, and I still don't have Balrog down well enough to play Blitz's jump-in style. Kept trying to do an EX Buffalo but I'm not well practiced with that move just yet. Honestly surprised I won a match in this one.

Match 6 - Guile v. Cammy (3-0)

The last hit came down to the wire, but I figured with an EX Flash Kick I was pretty safe. I almost gave it up though. Didn't want him stealing any momentum.

----

Well I only used Bison once and lost with him, so are you all happy?

Blitz is fairly aggressive with Ken, but far too defensive with everybody else. And he jumps a lot, which someone better than me would punish greatly.

Good series I see. Going gold today so I'm gonna have a short session with whoever (if I could stop playing Transformers for a sec). Really liking the characters you guys are choosing.

Transformers has damn fun multiplayer. Been playing on my bro's GT all night. Surprisingly strategic once you work out the 'flow' of it all. Nobody's online, though. :(

Kind of a story so far right now as my XBox locked up reloading the lobby after the 3rd match and when I came back on G was gone as well so trying to get it reset for the last matches.

First: Akuma/Sakura. Started the first round like shit, woke up (caffiene I chugged before hand must have kicked in or something) and came back into it. ended up taking him 3-1

Second: Balrog/Akuma. Same story here, I thought G was a secret Akuma master to start, couldn't touch him. Came back and took that first round and then perfected the second round. Took it 3-0

Third: Ryu/Ken. G won all the arial battles so I had to take it to the ground. If I can give G's Ken a tip, he gets far too aggressive making it easy for fireballs when he gets up off the ground. Won that 3-0


Just shot him a PM, see if we can finish this tonight.

Sweet, I thought you might Rocky me if I went back on

You have a real shit connection though, Hasney.

Gunna eat and then post round 2.

Should have my real connection back by the next round since I was supposed to have it by 6pm yesterday, motherfuckers.

Everything went as planned with the higher seeds advancing. Should be interesting this round though.


Round 2



RULES:

- Higher seed fights on the RIGHT side of the screen. (Meaning, if you are the lower seed, you must create the lobby and send the invite to your opponent. Example: #16 is on the left, #1 is on the right)

- Time Limit: 99, Rounds: 5

- Best of 7

- 4 character minimum OR you can only use the same character twice. However you want to describe it.

TIPS:

- Clean up your connection. Do what you can, at least. Stop downloading porn/movies/whatever. Tell your MOM to get off the computer, you're playing in a fighting video game tournament for an internet wrestling message board. I think the only one who had an iffy connection anyway was Drakul and I think it's because he lives in wherever he lives. We shouldn't have too much of a problem connecting to each other. I don't think.

- Bust out the legal pad and crayon. The only way we can get your results is by your first hand account. So after a match, try to do your best to dramatically recreate what just happened. Don't concentrate so hard on your summary that it distracts you from the game, but a little effort would be appreciated. Sure you could say "I lost 4-2" and be done with it, but a little drama would be appreciated. It also helps to keep track of who you used, who they used and what happened.

- Take a break between matches. Like 2-6 minutes or so. Take a breather.


BRACKETS:

1. Super V - Chiszmo (0-0)
vs.
8. Boomer - jtboomer2 (1-0)

Not sure what to say here. I don't think Boomer is prepared for what's about to happen.

2. Kalyx - Kalyx triaD 360 (0-0)
vs.
7. thecc - falloftheage (1-0)

Kalyx might lose this being rusty and all. Also, thecc is very good which may also surprise him. Theres good odds on an upset here.

3. RoXer - RoXer1 (0-0)
vs.
6. Hasney - Hasney (1-0)

I'm going to wait until the very last possible second to give Hasney time to get his internets fixed.

4. Fignuts - Fignuts82 (0-0)
vs.
5. Funky Fly - Busted Funk (1-0)

*MARQUEE MATCHUP* right here. These two are constantly practicing against each other and I think have just about split even.

9. Blitz - Luneknight (0-1)
vs.
11. G - sgand (0-1)

Since G kinda got screwed with Hasney's connection, I let him decide his next opponent. He said said Blitz is the most pussiest out of all of them. You hear that, Blitz? He just called you a cunt. Loser is eliminated.

10. Drakul - Drakulbites (0-1)
vs.
12. Ant - TonyRomoASL (0-1)

Ant could pull off the upset here since he gave Funky a run for his money. We'll see. Loser is eliminated here as well.


So I think that's it. Try to be done by...Wednesday? Go ahead and PM your oppenent, set up a time.

After I get Gold (my bro's dragging his ass taking me to the store), I'll be on throughout the weekend.

Rocking Vega first.

Should have been a rule in round 1. Oh, it was? Hmm, that's odd. I was the lower seed and fought on the right. SO, not only did I have to pull through with the laggiest match I've ever played, but I was also on the wrong side of the screen. But whatever, I'm not going to bitch and be a sore loser.






I just hope the next dick Hasney sucks gives him AIDS.

Oh shit, Jeanpunchfest 09: The Finale. When's a good time, Fig?

Any time any place Boomer. Just let me know.

Everyone is being so nice to me.
