Also that reminds me, there was two... I dunno, I suppose 'Indian?' guys that showed up late for the tourney and seemed disappointed about it. I told them both about our upcoming one next weekend at XGC and pointed the way to the forums. They seemed really interested. Hopefully they'll show up, even more new players on the scene which is great.

Yeah, I actually played one of them during the tournament. He surprised me with his sagat! I told them we could have casuals after tournament but unfortunately we had to pack up.

You need to punish peoples mistakes more, if i whiff a srk you would just throw me when you should do easy big damaging combo like down fierce into srk.

Yeah I know, I saw all those mistakes myself as punishing shotos is one thing I can be consistently good at. You flew up into a corner with a wiffed hp srk and I instantly tried to dash, then HP ex srk into ultra, which is a no brainer.

I entered in dash and ryu just walked cauing me to panic and mash grab instead. Every time I enter something and it doesnt happen I have a brain fart. It a big problem for me.


Don't worry hound you'll get over the nerves, remember some of the people you were fighting have tons of tourney experience, once you get a couple under your belt you'll be flying.

Cheers for having us Anne Marie. Even if myself and Ger aren't around next yea, I'm sure there'll be someone else willing to take it on.

Sisko

Thanks again Anne-Marie, and by the way...

if your into fighting games yourself and/or if you know other people who are too, regardless of skill, your fully welcome to get involved in the community, join in on our events and such. We're all about getting new players into the scene and helping them improve their game.

We also want to help grow/start scenes in other games like smash bros for example. Any and all fighting games really, and this place can be used as a hub to help organise events and get everyone together.

Here's the Losers Bracket finals, Azza (Bison) v Tin (Sagat). This was taken on my pocket camera yoke and I'm still trying to figure out compression properly, so the quality is fairly rubbish.

The final of Tin v Hound (at least the bits I managed to record) will be up later tonight.

Dreddybajs

Hound beat tin, not sure about Azza.

chopperbyrne

Hound put them both into losers.

The Grand Final between Hound and Tin. There are some gaps in the footage, but thanks to some clever editing techniques, you shouldn't notice them too much.

Anyone else notice that finalists usually dont have facial hair? There may be a correlation.

I may have to shave for the next Inferno.
