25th of November Update:QuoteHey Guys, the Shadowloo Showdown site is semi up.
http://www.shadowloo.com/showdown/index.html
We will be changing a few things in the coming days. Things like..
- Rules
- Making the sponsor logos clickable
- Adding option to pay for other games.
- And more.
Also, hopefully people pre-register. This will help us finish making up the brackets as quick as possible and we can get the action started. Pre-Registering will also help with seeding international and interstate players.
Not to mention it will save you $10. (Still be discussing, but there is a good chance there will be an extra charge for those who register on the day of the event.
So please pre-register if you can.
And for those in Melbourne, remember you can also pre-register at events such as Chris' Club House and Deakin Meet ups.
Thanks guys. :)
*I know it's on the same date as Christmas Damager, so I hope this doesn't take any attention away from it.
But if there are any NZ players in Oz at this time, this might be something to look at.
More details in the coming days. (http://www.shadowloo.com/?p=3231):)
Oh fuck, I'm in Melbourne from the 10th onwards.
Nice surprise/coinkydink :-*
Well I hope to see you there Moose, and any other NZism'ers. 8)
New post is up with more info! (http://www.shadowloo.com/?p=3237)
Hopefully this is enough to make some SSFIV fans come down. ;D
You better go Ben. Get your missus to record you getting raped by Mago free. plz.
Awesome announcement guys :)
Aww fuck man that's awesome.
You Aussies are lucky man.
How do you's get them to come? IS it money? How much?
I want them to come over here.
WHO IS KEEN!?

Giz a loan g. I'll pay you back with my course related costs.
wow,
some really interesting players!!! I would love to meet and play with both Mago and Bee, but need to save $$ for my Japan trip :(
wish you guys have fun and hoping to see some video footage and matches!!!
Overlapping with Christmas damager :<
Wow man awesome work getting Mago and Gamerbee. Euan needs to go over there and show Gamerbee how to do the real wake up DP.
Nice organising if you can get those 2 in. Especially Mago, cause he hasn't left Japan in like years for a tournament before Canada Cup.
... Tokido too =(
wow............Australia's so awesome
Cheers guys, and yeah these players were interested to come down without pay, but might not have come, so the money helped with their decision.
You would need to pay for their tickets, accommodation, transport, etc.
Lucky for us, the Melbourne community stepped up and want to chip in so we don't end up paying for everything. =P
Hope to see some of you there.
And again I hope I don't step on anyone's toes. This was the only date they would give us.
Its all for the community, every scene has their stuff, you guys did a great job, it's nice to have you send this invite to Nz'ders, much appreciated.
Anytime man. And don't worry, if this is successful, SS2011 will be bigger and better.
AND won't clash with any other events. ;D

LOL, yeah don't worry about that at all. While it's unfortunate the timing is the same, it's an awesome event and opportunity for the Australian scene, and the NZ scene too even. I couldn't possibly feel hard done by if NZers decided to go to SS2010 at all.
If it wasn't for some people from CHCH already having bought tickets for our event I would suggest to the organisers to shift our date even :)
Nah Alan, they totally moved their date obviously so that Bee and Mago would have to choose between their event and ours. Obvious sabotage attempt by the Australians! Wonder what they will try next? Underarm bowling in a crick... oh wait!
hahahaha! Good Luck with the event Shadowloo! You guys gonna stream it?
Seriously, who is keen to split a hoteru
Well I think I'm just as famous as Mago and Gamerbee. I'll gladly take the payment to get me there, thanks EXC355UM
You know they were talking about me when they said "Akuma player"
Haha, you got me Lenny! ;D
@Massiah: That Akuma is me fool. 8)
@Fluxcore: Cheers man, and don't worry, this will never happen again!
Good shit guys - hope you have good internet for streaming over there - Canada cup had 10k viewers at one point and I'm sure there's going to be plenty watching SS2010!
Man... If only I wasn't broke :(
yeah, I am looking forward to teh streaming as well!!! we can do it at GIGA on the PROJECTOR!@!! :D
Ok I'm real keen.
Edit: Oh yea xmas damager overlap, forgot about that, BLEH.
Mason wanna go Melbourne and meet Tokido instead of do the 2v2? Haha, worth a shot
Damn I wish we could all make it :-\ Oh well, good luck with everything bro and say hi to my boiz Mago, Gamerbee and Tokido ;D
Oh I'm also gonna be in Melbourne next year in May for the missus' bro's wedding. Probably too early to ask but anything happening at that time? If not I'd love to just visit your local Arcade for a few games anyways. I hope you guys have AE by that time too :D
Attending.
Cheers to Mason for being a good sport about the 2v2, I didn't wanna go if you wern't but you being cool about it made me realize that it is the bigger opportunity to pass up on. Sucks you can't tag along tho man foreal ;[
Hyperbolic time chamber from now till then, matchups need polishing ye. Hopefully get Xbox mic this weeks ranbats =\
Glad to hear there will be some NZ repping at the event. Looking forward to meeting you. :)
Good luck skullator :)

Done
Sweet as Skull. Looking forward to meeting you and having some offline games! ;D
Anyone other than Skull coming?
Pretty stoked to find on google maps that I'm not toooooo far from the venue, and moreso that 3S is being played.
This holiday is turning out to be perfectly planned (accidently)
Viva la 3S!!
Oh nice, you deffo going to head on over Moose? Always enjoyable watching you third strikers and would be sweet seeing you rep NZ there too!
As long as I'm not too pickled from the night before I'll definitely pop over.
I like that Aussie is 2 hours behind so I'm more likely to wake up on time
Mint, and yea gotta love putting 2 hours in your pocket over there lol. Makes returning to work more painful than ever though lol.
Bro what happened with you and your girl Skull? You hittin that ish or what homy? You did get her drunk first right?
I decided to try the sober option since I like her alot and told her a week in advance of the event, got friend zoned. But then when the night came we still got drunk and work was still done. But yeah nothing lasting has come from it so pretty poor results thus far.
But if there's one thing I've learned from you bro, it's perseverance! As the street fighter announcer guy said, it aint over till it's over! har har
Nothing Lasting? Bro you cracked it!!!
On to da next one.
Nah if you really like her.......

This really isnt the thread for this.
Yeah, but there's gonna be some sexy as bitches in Melbourne bro.
Arrived in Melb yesterday, the airline couldn't give me the seat I pre ordered due to some unexpected wheelchair access or something so I got a free upgrade to business class.
What that meant to me was a little more legroom, alot more salted nuts, and when they asked me for drinks they said "Orange juice? Water? Tea? Coffee? or Champagne?"
I looked this girl square in the eye and asked "Is there a limit to how much champagne one can consume on this 3 hour flight to Melbourne this afternoon?" She lol'd and said nah mate go hard, but the drinks menu will be around soon and I personally prefer all the cocktails and spirits to the champage.
Good flight, was quite good. And I STILL managed to keep focused on every good Chun players vids and just kept documenting all the good shit I see. I checked my work this morning and coincadentally, the semi-crunk notes are acutually not half bad hahahah.
Futhermore not only was the dinner menu unbelivably good with shit like shrimp available as a STARTER MEAL, but I couldn't help but think of you guys when I saw there was "As you like it.." section on there food menu (Order these options whenever the entire flight, buffet on a plane haha, club sandwhiches option would of got damaged harder if I was a bigger guy)
Ill take heaps of vids and pics of Aussie arcades and the weekend event, I did end up having to get off a CDMA cell phone before 2012 when that shit dies so like a massive tool I went out and bought an iPhone4. It should help for vidding and nice photos everywhere tho.
I'll give ya's a CptMunta style write up or something when I return.
Chur, still rocking the facial hair btw, as for the haka, wouldnt wanna let you guys down hahaha.
Aww man. What a lucky cunt. If only you looked that chick clean in the eye and said 'wana fuck?' and she said 'yes'.
Bad bro, you should drunk your self passed semi - krunk, i badly would've. Then spewed up some clubs and shrimp haha.
Good Luck with the comp man. Remember the advice that beyblade kid gave you...'focus harder'.
And don't be shy, take some photo's with gamerbee and that.
Good stuff Skull. You are really committed!
Shot Thomas good stuff. So in the future I must book seats right next to handicap seats. Gotcha. And yeah good luck bro, you better get on stream.

Chances are, I'll get a set with tokido before this saturday.
I know where he is, and I have their cell phone number, and Tokido knows I exist in a sense that I'll be the only NZL player there and main Chun ;]
Tokido's english is very good, by the way.
Yes Mason, you should of come with me when I offered haha, but I respect your reason for choosing not to immensly.
Spent this entire morning talking to HB on irc and offering him some tips in a certain counter pick he might be planning on. Will play him alot this week and he is showing me a replay of him beating toxy haha, what a bro.
Hype!
Quote from: Skullator on December 08, 2010, 11:34:50 AM
more salted nuts
Sincere apologies Tom but that's the only thing i picked up in all that ;)
Jokes aside, best of luck man and have a good time bro!
I lol'd bro, cheers man appreciate it. Will be needing all the luck I can get.
Yeah I was gonna say, but I thought I should not lol. But shit man, nice work, getting in with the pros.
(Hint hint, make tokido play me on xbl LOL)
lol, say hi to HB for me.
Quote from: zosla on December 09, 2010, 10:20:01 AM
lol, say hi to HB for me.
I did and he said "Who is that?"
Just kidding man, he said hi back NZL wannabe Daigo.
Lol just kidding again man, he said "Tell Zosla to keep training harder.. Maybe one day he can beat me in a RYU MIRROR!!!!"
Lol just kidding man he says hi back.
Just quoting myself from OzHadou in case you don't check it NZ'ers. :P
Quote from: EXC355UM
For those who want to meet him today...
He wanted to go to the Zoo, so we'll be at the Zoo from about 2:30pm - Whenever he gets bored.
Then, we'll take him out to eat.
Box hill is the final stop for the evening. So if you guys want to meet him, come down to Boxhill Timeout.
For those who don't know, it's like a short walk from Box Hill station.
Hope to see you guys there. :)
Yea so I'm going to the zoo today, good times.

I did very well e very game its jsut a sham,e that I hgave very little experience against certain type of player due to NZ scene having zero of those caharacter.
I would normally not post drunk but I must say, Weazzyeff I did interview with Brosta today, and I have a christm,as present for you.
I might also bring a few moer xmas presents to NZ, one is for free to my friend but one is only with a big apology first.
If certain person gives me major apology for being salty dickhead wanker lsoer, then I give him the present of a lifetime.
I am lifelong friends with the internationlas now lol,. I translate for 2dgod all day, and gamerbee and tokido english is VERY VERY good, broken japenes + broken english = DAIJOBO, NO PROBLEM, MON DAI NAI!!!! HAI!!!! FULLY UNDERSTAND!!! hahahaha.

He is very skilled with the alcohol lol, Tokido is drinnking anything you offer him an quickly needs to be tricked into water lol, Tokido is free dizzy but Mago is very skilled HAIIIIIIIII lol. he is the man and he agree2 deliver mesage to Nemo for me, arigato yo.
(//)
I must go sleep now, early start 2moro for team tournament, very cheap nice stick for sale in australia, I show youguys at ranbats or something, only cost me$150 but better than Madcatz TE lol. Much better. I will show you, cheap imports I have contact details if you guys like more than r2 TE lol.
Good shit skull, only thing that really matters is that you had an awesome time :) always good to network.
good job skull, throw the details for the stick my way keen as, sounds like an amazing experience.
Fuck, awesome Thomas. And never thought I'd see you post in a funnier way than Andy. :D
Fucking mean Skull! But I think I'd rather drink with Team Niue and Team [B 1 82] :D
Also, Biggest apologies for being a salty dickhead wanker loser! Do I get the present now? ;D
EDIT: Shot bro for still rocking the Movember! I hope you got footage of yourself doing the haka.... or AT LEAST teaching Mago, Tokido and Gamerbee the haka lol
Haha damn, sounds like you had a mean time Thomas. I wanna hear about the hype mm's.
Cool photo with Mago, looks like you guys known each other for ages lol. Not as cool as a photo with Brodsta though hahahahaha.
skullator on stream right now vs exis blanka !!!!!
Yeah man glad to see you on it. Grrrr wtf were you doing you had him twice. Where was the blender in round 2 and in round 3 you shoulda just blocked his ultra and punished with yours... Anyway shot for being on stream and playing like a beast.
LOL their team names were epic!
https://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=t9_Gnqp5gAiaWqi8HGk8MUg#gid=0
Massdebator
Shot skull! Missed the stream but no shame being knocked out by top players :) cool to hear you partied too! Man sounds like good times. Missed the stream but be keen to check a replay though. I'd offer to put the footage together (3 Green Bones Skull edition ;) ) I'd probably fuck it up since I wasn't there.
Be cool to read/see your travel log when you upload it :)
I got blown up on stream lol, sorry guys but now I can die happy. Mason you are right man I hadn't played a Blanka in so long I completely forgot about fucking reversal ultra option after block Blanka ball lol... was thinking of unescapable chip damage and Abel breathless only.
DONT WORRY, PLENTY OF AMAZING MOMENTS:
Skullator vs Somniax (Nationally disliked, turtle slow Bison, not like weazzy or brodsta at all)
Round 1, I do potentially the most clutch chip damage final second Time out SSFIV has ever seen, and it was salty. I have movie, perfect moment, hole room blows up towards end I think and mago and gamerbee were laughing their ass off as I yelled TURTLE, HAIIIII , KAME, HAIIIIIII lol, I really really really blew somniax up due to a personal grudge, but found out that alot of Oz players dislike him too.
We are good now, but I needed to do it all to break his game and he fimbled big time due to it.
We are talking Kuroda vs Jwong third strike time out hype lol. Felt good to deal with my minor problems with him directly and in my own unique way.
You guys see the Ryu player who beat Mago and Gamerbee had to clean up in the 2v3?
I clutch that Ryu out, the video will speak for itself, Mago say Arigato yo ;] what a bro, so glad I had his back like that lol.
Plenty of GG's with Mago too, but I will not upload any of those.
Mago show me personally the Sakonoko piano lol, very kind of him. I have funny video of special match Mago vs random Aussies, concept being that it is not street fighter match, you just pick your character, attempt any combo, and then show and try to land as many times as you can out of 5. Then Mago try and whoever lands it the most without "Fimbling it" wins lol.
I will attempt to upload and edit both these vids today or tomorrow, no promises time is tight and work again tuesday lol.
I will slowly piece together a full topic maybe completed this coming weekend, appreciate the offer Munta will hand over any raw footage that you deem useful. I have faith in your ability to do a good job of it, as everything you touch turns to gold. Everyone loves 3 green bars man, there is a blog run by Aussie called beingascrub which had me for a 1 hour podcast interview thing and I give major props to your work there bro, 3gb and ranbats, and he compliments the shit out of you too if I recall correctly due to him loving your work.
Mainly speak of Chun and NZ small community, I can't really remember it all but it should be good when its done.
http://beingascrub.wordpress.com/
Many stories to tell lol, so many, we will get there eventually.
Oh and apologies for no Direct shout out to Nzism when I was asked, I immediately recognized my mistake for that and told them to say NZism on the stream lol. Sorry my mind has been on matchups and Chun all weekend.
some quickies before a topic lol
Sounds like you had a great time following the Melb crew.
Good effort Tom :)
