Keen on playing any tomorrow Charlie?

I still have HEAPS on my card and double dollars is up again next wednesday. 

[Chuckk]

Yeah, not feeling too great but I've gotta come into town anyway. I'll probably be there from quarter past 1 or so for a bit.

[moose!]

Sweet, I got somewhere to be during lunch but I'll be in after 2 sometime.
Beat Max with Yang 6 times today, though I don't like to admit it Seiei-Enbu seems a *bit* better in the matchup, and I got his unblockable down good. 
I'd still rather play him as a stun beast though.

The recent A-Cho Ken vs Ken tourney (thanks SRK) http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDg2Mjc5NzI=.html

I still don't like ken, but most JP players play him pretty aggressive so the mirrors are generally pretty good to watch... and look at the players  

They take fuckin ages to load tho.


Edit: Video 1 has MOV losing and 2 has Chinta losing... shit is no joke. 

[moose!]

I think the 4th is deshi vs chinta (I *could* be wrong, I'm just going on colour here) who are basically the two best current ken players (IMO over kashi and spellmaster isn't current) , deshi missed double srk for the win, eats two supers in a row and loses  

[Chuckk]

Haha will watch it later, these all ken tourneys are nuts.

Sorry bout not showing up today, feeling like shit.

Anyway check this video out, it's fucking hilliarous.

Not only the gameplay but what happens after. Best matchvid in a long time.

[moose!]

Hahahahaha.
Like the scene that happened at ours...



Turtle is now a valid insult. As is fish.

Better yet Charlie? Keen for some games this week?

Still haven't finalised the pair for this weekend, Yang is still badgering me for a piece of action and Necro hasn't decided if he wants to beast or not.
Haven't played Patrick or A.G (auckland guy) since last time so things might be interesting...

[Chuckk]

yeah man will be in tomorrow, thursday and friday.
need a fuckload of makoto practice.
not really feeling to confident in her atm, so it might be back to chun :|

[Chuckk]

so i already mentioned it but yeah here's how it played it with fat freddys drop dude.

Ibuki v. Urien, I lost.
Ibuki v. Remy, I won.
Makoto v. Remy, I won, 3-1 with a perfect.
Ibuki v. Remy, I lost.
Ibuki v. Makoto, I won.
Ibuki v. Makoto, I lost.
Ibuki v. Yang, I lost twice. fffff missed so many slashes and ex slashes, fucking buttons.
Ibuki v. Alex, I won. then he left. hahah at my alex winning. guess it only takes a couple hits.

Didn't play chun. Need more makoto practice though.
Enjoying remy a little too much though.

[moose!]

He didn't play Q?
Surprised you lost with Mr. Choco against him...
And where's the Necro love?!

Our counter pick games are getting pretty sweet, there's no fucking way I'm gonna be playing Necro if I see Makoto on that bracket, haha. (Unless I can get the 2 elbows comboing on the left side, even then I doubt it)

[Chuckk]

yeah don't really like the Necro v. Ibuki matchup too much, though I should have tried him. And nah, he didn't play Q.

I wanted to play Mr. choco more but ibuki's pressure can be really annoying with urien I find. Though it doesen't take much from him to even it up at all.

Yeah, counterpicking is getting serious. I probably won't be choosing a character til the last 3 seconds if I'm up against you, hah.

[moose!]

They usually run it so you can only change character going from winners bracket to losers and in the final... so you probably won't get to, unless I draw you in the first game 

[Chuckk]

Haha yeah thats what I was thinking.

watch this interview with rikimaru, so good. http://www.iplaywinner.com/news/2009/8/1/the-grind-in-japan-mi-ka-do-feat-rikimaru.html

really don't want to be a losers bracket warrior either.

LOSER BRACKET WARRIOR!
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

I'm thinking I might drop into it "accidentally" in the first round and dub it "THE BRACKET OF STUN DEATH"

There will be stuns.
