On another note, the last and only time I was in Dublin was when I was 8, so I have no idea how to get to where we're going, anyone want to give me a hand?

There's a link to a map to the place in the first line of the original post

Can bring a copy of the game. I thought there was something about not being able to use hard drives only to transfer characters?

Go to the spire on O'Connell st. go to the right side of the street (where Eason, MacDonalds etc are) and walk up toward O'Connell bridge but turn right instead of crossing at the lights at the bridge. Walk down the quays until you get to the ha'penny bridge and turn right onto Lower Liffey st. The XGC is beside a pub called Pravda and pretty much across the road from a Spar shop.

As long as you don't pick Sagat or are from Athlone, you won't be shunned.;)

D4RK ONION

Have an irrational hate of Sagat, and have never stepped foot in athlone, so it would appear i'm good to go!

Icarian

Defo goin. I might be a bit worse for wear as the party I'm going to has now become a bring the weirdest/nastiest drink you can find. Speaking of which does any have any recommdations?

Also none of us are pros but there is a really good mix of skill levels.

I actually enjoy fighting Sagat lol Prob cause I understand the match up I guess, no "WTF how come he can punish me but I can't punish him!?!?" or "I was 2 meters away how the **** did he grab me!?!?" moments :pac:

Probably also cause I main Ryu..

**flicks to shot of Sagat and his GF walking down the road**:

Sagat: "So then I was like, tiger, tiger, and that was the last I saw of that guy"

**Sagat and GF walk past Ryu who then runs up after them**

Ryu: "Hey Saagit, Saaagit!! Hey HEY!!"

Sagat: "Sigh...It's Sagat....."

Ryu: "Long time no see bro, yeeeeah yeaah, hey whos your friend here? Hey shes cool , whats up whats up!?"

Sagats GF: "oh eh hmm hello"

Ryu "Oh Hi I'm RYU, I'm sure Sagits told you all about me.."

**Sagat and his GF start walking fast but ryu keeps walking with them**


Sagats GF "Oh eeeh no, he hasn't mentioned you actually..."

Ryu "Whaaaaaaat? So hasn't he told how he got that giant scar?"

GF "Oh yeah he told me about the tractor"

Sagat "Yeah... uhm eh tractor.. yeah "

Ryu "Oh uh uh, a tractor huh? Yeah... yeah Sagit you know those a tractors there...they'll really burn yea up good huh?....Those tractors..."

**Awkward pause**

Ryu "Well hey guys I gotta run... meeting up with Ken, catch yea later dudes"

Sagat & gf "Oh yeah okay see yea later"

Ryu "Oh by the way.... HaDOHken....hehe just kidding... see yea guys.."

**Ryu runs off while sagat and his GF are still in shock**

Same here, I guess because it feels excellent beating a Sagat player, and even if you lose, well it was Sagat, the odds where stacked against you and because you didn't pick Sagat you won the moral victory, so it's win win.

Except for Sagat vs Akuma is like one of the most dead even matchups in the game for Sagat. :pac:

Cunny-Funt

I've actually very rarely encountered any impressive Sagats also I suppose. Most are I suppose what you'd call flowchart Sagats.

Owwmykneecap

So A trak are you booking this then? so we don't turn up with a load of scrotes on the only consoles with the characters...

FoamyMushroom

Won't cost you any more than a fiver, possibly less.

It's a large room with about 40 tellies and consoles.

that hurt dredz:D
also will i bring my save i have a memory card if thats any use

Dreddybajs

Yeah that'd be cool, think you need to copy your gamer profile over to the card too for it to work though? Not entirely sure

Icarian

btw, are there any PS3 players? i can't use the 360 controller or arcade sticks... though a mad catz fightpad might be okay, so if any 360 guys have one, it'd be great if you could bring it!

i got one for PS3 last week, but it broke the day i got it... damn mad catz!

Dreddybajs

A couple of people usually bring 360 madcatz fightpads, and there are usually a decent number of PS3 players.

Cunny-Funt

Yes I'm another ps3 pad user Gonna bring my ps1 pad too to see if it works with a ps2 to 360 converter.

Icarian

ah, good stuff!

Cunny-Funt

If I'm not totally hung over tomorrow that is

I might bring my laptop, probably not though... damn I'm such a lazy **** :pac:

It will. My stick is a PS1 stick.

I'll be bringing converters for PS1/2 -> PC, Gamecube, xbox, PS3 and 360.
