@rcadeCon Fighting Game Tournaments - July 1st-3rd, D4 Hotels Ballsbridge

BourketheJerk

Will be at this tomorrow. What time are people showing up at?

Orim

Aiming to be in for some time between 11 and 12.

Doctor DooM

Ditto for me.

Konata

Oh, if anyone is driving to this, you have to pay for parking in the hotel. When you're paying though, bring your ticket to reception, ask to pay there and then tell them you were at the con - you'll get a few euro off the cost

Voa

I'll be in a little later. Looking to leave my house about 2, be there before 3 to have a snoop around and find where I'm supposed to be at.

Sairus

Hey, can anyone supply consoles with DLC and updates on them for tomorrow? None of the setups here have AE, DLC characters or even the patches for MvC3, BB and MK. There's also no net connection to remedy this. The guy in charge of the games room has taken one PS3 with him to download patches tonight, but there's no guarantees on whether he'll get all of them.

Beasted Sairus at Dance Central today

I got footage of Konata and Onion on Dance Central, so I'm totally cool with that. :pac:

Orim

I'm bringing mine anyway. Will do for AE and Marvel.

TVSAdamwest

I can bring a ps3 with all the dlc for bb and ssf4 with Ae on it.
I thought BB was being run on the xbox? hence why I decided not to attend.

the 1st hardter

Sf is meant to start at 12 but they will do 1 at the latest.

Where do you think he said that?

Umm hey, I'm new here so I thought I'd post in this thread because I was at the arcade con tournaments. I probably met a lot of you guys there. I know specifically Sairus, Vao, and Xinkai. I played Xinkai in the BB tournament, I was Tager against his Platinum/Lambda. Also got destroyed in MVC3 and MK9. Anyways a couple people told me to sign up for boards.ie and post in the fighting games thread, so here I am.

Good to see some new blood, that's what makes cons worthwhile for me.

Awesome username!

I would have been disappointed if you played any character other than Tager.

TVSAdamwest

Welcome power of science we can always use more players. And your tager will be a welcome change from Voas gimmicks r us tager:D

Naphiel

That's the only way to play Tager.

TVSAdamwest

apparently there was a sweet tager tearing it up at qcon

Voa

Fix'd.

Also, Tager needs his gimmicks He a gimmicky character. Pity Zen hate his gimmick and refuse to give him a useful meter to show when he's about to go from having combos to not.:pac:

Vyze

That's why Tager is top tier for about 2 weeks with every new BB release. Tager is all gimmicks with no real solid options, no matter how good the player is.

bush

Man I heard they got the miz to make an appearance at this along with guile and chun li

says you I still remember that great tager comeback

but yeah what he says is true, tager will always be the character the fck up noobs, that don't ahve a block string and alway making mistakes. Since tager can only really win on peoples mistakes.

Don't believe the hype, there was a Tager in finals but he was literally just churning the butter something fierce.

Must have had a really easy draw, I had to go through a much better new Tager to get out of my group (thank you favourable matchup). Can't quite remember how Yreval met his end, think he got put out by Jarvy right after I did but I'm not too sure.

Too much salt

Symptoms of increased salt intake include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. High concentrations of sodium in the body can also result from excessive water or fluid loss. Persistently high levels of sodium in the blood can result in swelling, high blood pressure, difficulty in breathing, and heart failure, and may be fatal.

A high dietary salt intake is an important causal factor in the development of hypertension (high blood pressure), which currently affects 32 per cent of men and 30 per cent of women in the UK. Hypertension increases the risk of strain on the heart, enlarges the heart muscle, prevents an adequate blood (and therefore oxygen) supply from reaching the heart, and may lead to heart failure, angina or heart attack.

Seriously, though - if people were losing to it then he had no reason to stop throwing out 360s. Why change a strat that people aren't finding a way around?

Yreval

I was watching his match with Tsukiko - I think it was in the semi-finals. He was getting away with purple throws left, right and centre, but even then he didn't win too decisively.

Voa

Vyze; from what I heard, he was mucking 720's after GF, and getting AC off it.

So either his terribad execution was a BRILLIANT mindgame, playing on the Con sensibility and beasting people with enough knowledge to try to counter what he was doing, but what he wasn't really doing...or he got real lucky.

I wouldn't know, I didn't see the matches.

Disagree, I can usually do pretty good on my solid combos alone. It is only very recently that I started punishing with 360 and 720. Though I agree that Tager is based around punishing, but that is not the only way to win. I promise I don't suck as bad as I did in the tourney, dropping every Atomic collider whiff combo. I went home right after I lost at MVC3 and was pulling off those combos every time no problem. Maybe it was tournament nerves, I dunno but Xinkai also played Lambda really well.

Best be trollin', I got put out good and proper by Jarvy - this guy was on the other side of the bracket where presumably nobody was using projectiles or jumping. :pac:

Vyze wrote: »

It wasn't working in the final, 360s were being neutral jumped time and time again and I didn't see a single attempt to collider or 2C, just more 360s.

From what I saw I just don't think we're dealing with some kind of Tager prodigy here.

Konata

The con organisers have put up a survey here - chance to give feedback on the event.

Sairus

Before I upload the various finals for the events there were far more important videos that needed your attention.

Here's the BB final. I'll have the rest up tomorrow.

Onion:

Konata

Let it just be known that I completely whipped Onion's ass in that battle - I was just too GDLK to be recorded on my turn :P

Sairus

Sorry this took so long. VirtualDub was not being co-operative for most of today
Also, take note that the SF4 finals for this convention were all held on Super, just in case you were wondering why we were doing silly things like using Rose's U2 on wakeup and building meter with Guile :pac:

Winners Finals:

Losers Finals:
Alas my camera can only record 8min 12sec of 720p footage at a time and I forgot to get someone to stop and start recording again between games, so I missed the spectacularly retarded end to this match that knocked me out of the tournament! XD

Grand Finals:
I also missed a couple of seconds in this at the start of the second set, but nothing important. Also, my apologies for the jarring cuts in this one. I tried sprucing it up a bit today, but my crappy laptop was having none of it and crashed repeatedly during the compression in VDub afterwards.
