Our first ranbat was in September 2007, although there had been attempts at starting a FG scene in Dragonslayers for a few years beforehand, I believe.

Sisko

Cool yeah so then when you compare that to England/London scene well its pretty impressive imo

Right so you want results from actual tournament gameplay!

Let me begin with BlazBlue...VYZE!
Made it past group stages & into the Quarter Finals, where i got KO'd in Winners & Losers. Had to go through Chungstar & took it to the limit in winners, & then got offed by an arakune (stfu vyze) in losers brackets.

Then went straight to SF4 Masters leauge, that gad 256 players in 5 mins lol. Tried to bring the Sakura game but can't hit links for **** on those 1999 tv's man...

Cobelcog won all his matches in masters, Chunkis, Ryan Hart, V-Deck & a couple of others are too, but those few were around my TV so i didn't get to see everyone!

Tomorrow is the main SF4 tournament, so i'll update tomorrow night too.

Can't believe i'm not gonna be on the main stage... my dream is over

Oh whats the weather like back in dublin? It's fkin FREEZING here!!! Someone email me a jacket!

Later all wish us luck!

Oh and Daigo has gone 4 days and lost only 1 match.... and he's now playing as Sagat.... Boo Hiss etc etc.

Ramza

Good **** dude, glad to see your all getting on grand. SOSO wish I was there! Say well to all the lads for me

That's what ya get for giving out about his new red outline in Portable.

Fair play though, sounds like yee're taking names all over the shop!

Has anyone fought Luffy yet? I hear he's quite the spectacular Rose player.

Jim

Ahoy!

Sorry about the lack of updates, it seems Wifi is hard to come by...

Day One : After a few **** ups along the way we eventually arrived in Nice
after being introduced to the English / UK crowd by Chunkis. Took us awhile
to find the hotel (after much wandering around Cannes, almost getting to hotel,
the deciding we were going the wrong way, and going back :pac:)

We settled in, got some dinner, then headed to the Northern Irish lads room for
some casuals with the usual crowd. Then a good crowd of the English lads arrived
including Ryan Hart, Ramzi, Dogtanion, Tasty C, DBSUK and a few others. Casuals
insued on 1 xbox and 2 laptops set up in the room, and then the eventual
Ireland V UK 5v5...

Roogle, Blag, Dreddy, Newtype, Coblecog V Ramzi, Tasty C, Dogtanion, DB UK, Ryan Hart

Ramzi v Roogle in the first fight. Akuma went in confident against Boxer, which was
quickly disolved by Roogle. Ramzi, wearing his mask he bought earlier at the
convention, quickly took it off after the beating off the first round, but to no
evail. Roogle faced Tasty C's Blanka next but once again the dino fighter prevailed!
However, next came Dogtanion's El Feutre. Weather it was Dogtanion's mix up game, or
Roogle's lack of experience against Feurte, but the Mexican Chef got a very
convincing win. Next match was Blag V Dog's Feutre and unfortunatly the Dictator
did as well as his team mate whiffing an Ultra with a teleport. Dreddy however beat
down Feurte and it was 3 - 2 to Ireland. DB UK brought out his Blanka next in a very close
match, but after Blanka missing his Ultra, Dreddy also missed his in response and
DB punished. His victory was short lived though when Newtype stepped up and shot him down.
The biggest challange was next in the form of Ryan Hart who brought top teir domination
down on Ryan. Coblecog took on Ryan next and after a close first round was closed down
completly by Ryan. So in the 5 - 4 to the UK. Good job guys!


A few more casuals followed the tourny and then we headed back to our apartment....
and then...more Street Fighter, with the the TV right beside my bed, thanks guys.


Day Two : Woken up at 8am by techno music at the pool for Germans excersising. Wtf.
Got up, played some Street Fighter and eventually went for breakfast. The lads got
some massive kebab rolls (I got a salad :pac:). Got some supplies for the next few
days in the shop and then headed to the venue for the first time (!)

The whole place is great, very nice set up with tons of consoles (all padededed...)
in the general public area, and then tons more set up with CRT's in the tournament
area, and even 2 arcade cabs! Nothing much going on when we got there except SoulCal
and Blazblu. I didn't see much of Blazblue unfortunatly but Xankai got to at least
the second match (or so he claims :pac:) gj! SoulCal final on the big screen was
actually great to watch, really intense. The reaction of the crowd when certain stages
were picked was great (cheap Hilda!). Team France won the 5v5 Soul Cal. Unfortunatly some of us were too late to reg
for the SFIV Masters Event but Ry, Dreddy, Blag, Coblecog, Newtype, Vdeck, Roogle,
Chunkis and LiquidSword competed (special mention to Coblecog who beat Japanese Desora 2 - 0 including a perfect!. In the end Dreddy, Coblecog, Newtype, Vdeck, Roogle and
Blag got past the group stages. Vdeck was the only one to play his next match but
unfortunately lost to Ramzi's Akuma.

Special note to Tin's 3s team who lost in the quarter finals but have a really good
chance in the loser bracket which continues tomorrow.

The tourny went on too late and continues tomorrow at 10am. Right now we're just back
in the apartment playing casuals and having some beer....well, I'm having some beer.

Today is the end of the Masters, end of 3s, and SFIV 2v2....and then much much training
for Sunday's 1v1 Street Fighter IV!

Day Three : Got up early to head down to see the rest of Masters at 10am. Coblecog, Ryan
and Dreddy all won their first fights. Special mention to Dreddy who played excellently
against Japanese player Desora, shutting him down totally 2 - 0. His next match was against
French Fei Long player Evans. The first match was very much dominated by Evans and his excellent
Rekka reactions. Dreddy adapted well though and the second game was painfully close tit for tat
with great pokes from both players. Russian Wrestling was the best in that game, 1 - 1. The next
game was the painfully close. After Fei took the first round Dreddy came back in fine form in the
second, landing his Ultra at the end of the match which killed his opponant with 1 second to go.
Too late! Match point went down to the clock again, and with the smallest life lead, Evans
managed to avoid the Russian wrestler and it was a Time Over win for Evans. Well played Dreddy!
Top 16! Coblecog also made the top 16 but lost to who is allegadly the best Rose in the world
with some fancy dashing.

That's it for now. Go go free Maccy D wifi!

Jim

Dreddy's skill increases are starting to scare me.
He's like a Super Saiyan or something.

Super!!!!!!was played earlier on the main stage as an exhibition which was pretty sweet. Hakan not pickable though :pac:. Apparently we will be able to play Super later on today, but will probably have to queue for ages to get at it, probably wont bother myself. Juri and Ibuki look ****ing nasty.

2v2's are finished for all of us heh. Not sure how all the teams did but Team Discovery Channel and my team (cheesenan) were knocked out at the first stage. A random French guy came up to me and asked me to join his team as his mate hadn't showed up, so I obliged. Despite his decent Sim we got destroyed. One of the teams in our pool had team hoodies with sponsors plastered all over them >< Casuals happening now and 2v2 finals should be taking place soon.

I played really really badly today, but hopefully will do better in the actual solo tourny tomorrow. Unfortunately no vids were taken of the tournament to my knowledge, which kinda sucks. I tried taking some of Dreddy V Desora, but only got the first few seconds before my phone cam failed badly. Afaik though Chunkis recorded almost all of the North V South 5v5.

In other news, some 10 year old French lad is destroying everyone in his path >< Last I heard they were trying to organise a money match between him and Chunkis :pac:

PS. Coblecog is from Derry I believe!

Sisko

Deadly , glad there's footage of that 5v5. Yeah I knew cobelcog said he was from Derry but you insisted he was from Donegal :P


Cheers for the updates man keep 'em coming when you can.

I've heard Newry myself. Anyway, well played Cobelcog and Dreddy for recording decisive wins over one of the Japanese players.

Sisko

Yeah I heard that Desora is meant to be the best gouken player in the world? Or at least some consider him so.

Going by this weekend, I would say not. He's getting beaten quite frequently afaik.

Solo tounry starting late today so they can finish off Soul Cal. Highly doubt everything will be finished on time, its gonna be close.

PS. Coblecog is from Down. Mystery solved!

Watching that video I notice that the Announcer is in English, but Akuma has his Japanese name under his health bar. Is there some way to set it like that in SFIV, or does the Japanese version just have an English announcer?

Jumpy

Some of the skill shown there is awesome.
