The fact that you think you interpreted what I was saying that way should leave everyone else in no doubt about the preferred sexual orientation of Guile players around the world. :P

I was kinda hoping you looked like this...

Just want to say well done to Azza,his psycho power surely knows no limit!

I'm a bit annoyed I missed it but it just wasn't possible for me yesterday :mad:
Really looking forward to seeing the (psycho) videos.

Also congrats to Placebo on his 3s win.

Who won the 6th and 5th placed decider between Sisko and A-Trak after the tournament was over?

K.O.Kiki

IIRC A-Trak buggered off before it could be done.
-> Sisko wins by default

Hey Doom, you didn't thank me for telling you to play Remy in 3S yet :P
Here's a good example of fantastic Remy play.

I'll take 6th as I did one before we had a chance to settle it.
His Ryu would've given me issues anyway;)

A few pics from the event, its taking some time to process the pics. Shooting with a high iso and no flash has its issues I'll do a dump of all of them all soon enough.

Heres a few highlights from the event.

After a heartbreaking discovery that all the videos were corrupt, i think i've managed to recover them all, though there will be some small loss and artifacting. It'll take a few days to get them all cut and posted, but i'll post them here as they go up.

I dunno about that at all man, I've very little experience against your level of honda play. I might have given you a decent fight if I was at my peak , but I was totally feckin burned out yesterday and unable to adapt to anything I'd not be used to. Basiclly I was in automatic mode I'd say if anything it would have been a walk over for you tbh.

I shall be getting plenty of sleep and a packed lunch next time there's a tourney, thats for damn sure.

Hey m8 just want to express my deepest thanks for your efforts yesterday, you had a lot of stuff on your shoulders, far too much for any one person to deal with and yet you were calm and cool all day, I hope we were a pleasant enough crowd to deal with I hate that people being stuck on the ps3 pad means an awful lot of farting around for everyone. I really gotta get a stick I just hope it doesn't take too long for me to get used to one. Been using a PS pad for... 8 or so years now I think...

Might take a while for the post processing on youtube's end to happen.

Hope i made the cuts at the correct matches

Cunny just get an InPin converter so that you can use a PS1/2 pad on 360.

That's the wrong converter, InPin is for PS1/2 -> PS3/PC.
You need an XConverter 360 and, IIRC, a Microsoft pad for pass-through.
Hit up laugh on SRK for one.

Orim

You know when the next-gen consoles came out, I assumed that the pads would no longer be exclusive, considering the USB connection and same amount of buttons/layout.

How naive I am :pac:

Yeah, wasn't thinking. Although the converter I have was only a tenner and works perfectly. It was tested by several people and it has no input lag.

Needs a wired 360 pad.

Think they're only about €17 on ebay too.

Yeah this is an option too alright and works great for casuals but I'd wanna spend a bit of time using a ps1/ps2 pad 1st before using one in a tourny cause they're not as sensitive as the ps3 pad and I found I did wiff a few things due to not pressing the buttons hard enough :rolleyes: Didnt wanna risk playing with one in a tourny till I had a little more time with one (only had about 2 or 3 games using your converter that time)

But yeah wheres the best place to buy one? You interested in selling any of yours?

chopperbyrne

Check my post right above yours.

I had a great day yesterday. It was a lot fun playing some SF with other players and watching the tournament unfold. Major thanks to everyone there. From the organisers for their work throughout to everyone who was there for just being pleasant and friendly people. Good games to everyone I played and if you all ever do a similar event, I'd love to participate once again.

Great to see a fellow Cammy representing

If you get a chance defiantly come to some of our tournys/casuals in Dublin, or go to the Dragonslayers in Belfast. Nothing beats playing IRL!

I'm still marveling at your tech skills, I can't even touch it. Most enjoyable Cammy mirrors I've played!

Ah ha, thanks a lot man. Playing offline is something I definately want to do more often so chances are that I will be playing with you all again some time in the future

Jim

I'll be putting up pics from the weekend tomorrow (a bit too pissed right now to do it). Btw, alot of the photos I wanted I can't find on my cam, so I think I may have taken them on PPC's cam by accident.

Ya you should come down to the next tourney. Im shocked you didnt go further in this one, i was tipping you for 1st.

Sabre0001

Unfortunately I got there too late to witness the SF tournaments - heard they were impressive and enjoyable though! Who won the Dan Tournament?

Where are the vids of the final 8 in the winners bracket? Any up yet?

Videos are being encoded atm.

Can those of ye that attended please provide feedback on the event, venue and anything else you can think of. PPC had the SF stuff down so I'm not sure we could improve on perfection.

chopperbyrne

Definitely a good venue. The Street Fighter area was a bit cramped though, could have done with a little bit more space between tables for moving around as we change machines quite often, whereas the FPS players tend to just stay at the one machine the whole time.

Would also be handy if any PCs that are used already have the drivers installed for 360 and PS3 controllers. (although Jim explained the difficulties with PS3 controllers on Vista 64 bit)

The organisation was fine. A few delays, but it was only one guy so can't be too critical.

Hopefully next time you can find some software that won't lag behind when it is being projected also.

All in all, a very good event and venue and will definitely be at the next one.

Thanks to all involved.

'Twas a good LAN, although my personal time-keeping wasn't the best -- arrived at 8pm Friday, played til 4am with only Sagat & 1 randomer, then slept til 11am :rolleyes:
Also, there was confusion in the group elimination stages as to whether to use single or FT2 games - our group did single & that kinda dampened my tourney hopes. Also, I have come to the conclusion that single elimination (3S) is quite damn harsh* - have no idea why the Japs have stuck to it for so long.

But really, IMHO, the only thing the next event needs is time for a Super Turbo tourney. Or Rose Ball.
