Hey guys,
Just like Jame's post this is regarding the selections for the upcoming bar fights.
I have confirmed with Lenny that because Central Aucks is lacking in numbers we will merge with East Aucks leaving me with the captain duties for this area ( help me out boys so i dont fuck it up :P )
Anyways, IMO there's no need to have regular gatherings as i'm sure you get enough practise at home/yifans etc. But if this is preferred, please put forward your suggestions as im more than happy to organize jam sessions at mines or anywhere. Otherwise we'll just have the ranbat session when we're nearing the event.
So, for the people in Central/East that would like to participate in this event its in your best interest to be ready as it's only a team of 5.
Also your thoughts on how to fill the roster of 5 will be appreciated.
Chur.

*UPDATE*
Hey guys, i've decided to postpone the Ranbats that was happening next week on the 27th Feb. Reason for this is because it's come to my attention that some ppl cannot make it which is fine, because the Bar Fights is still under construction and no official dates has been set.
So the Ranbats session will be rescheduled to a further date when Bar Fights event has been confirmed.

Put me down bro. I'm keen for a couple of weekend jam sessions. I find I improve more that way than just fucking around online, I take it more seriously. Also you and Jack are good comp as you're both better than me at the moment. Time to ditch the Sakura and get in some Bison training I think.
Realistically who are our options for the team of 5? Kind of a shame jack cant be there.
Gank, Geneterror, Sol, Mike, Ryan, Jay and Me?
Strongest 4 are probably Gank, Jay, Sol & Mike.
Leaving a choice between Graham, Ryan and myself for spot 5. Realistically Ryan probably wont even come, although if barfights is a later thing ie. post 6pm, it might be a different story.
Its a pretty rounded team though. 2 rogs, Honda and bison. With your 5th member potentially bison/gief/fuerte.
Can only have one of each character in each team sorry guys... only one rog allowed!

To be honest no ones position is guaranteed, me included. The most fairest way imo is to just have the participants to fight it out at a session.

Thanks Lenny we'll be sure to account for this.
Good call Ganka! funny to think I'd almost qualify for East Auckland being up on the hill on redoubt road (close to the Whitford end) lol!
Good to see the other region crews getting their plan on. :p
hello, is there room for a Guile noob ? :P
Most certainly Ericson! Will post more details on when/where the Team selections will take place later on. Long way till bar fights anyway.
This is all getting pretty exclusive. What about those that miss out?
which region u are from mobious?

Good question Mobious. As far as i know, it was mentioned on Saturdays grind session by Lenny that for the people that don't make it for their regional team there will be a "Wild Card" team to accommodate them.
Haha nice ... "Wild card" team it is then ! :)

Central. I live close to the start of Mt Eden Rd. I guess I'll try to make it to the qualifiers for that region.
if Hue and Cody makes it, then you would be with them :P :P :P :P

Oh well BarFights is a bit different to a regular tourney. I just hope I'm good enough to be included!
man whats the story with this one....souths got on to it pretty quickly and efficiently lol....wats good for this side of auckland?
What i ve heard from Lenny is that the Bar fights isn't happening till March next year, Having a ranbats imho 4 months before is a wee bit too soon.
sort it out in feburary :) 2 motnhs to get ready for fighting your spot and 1 month to prepare your team.

ALLAH ABDUL AKHAR
Team "BOMB SQUAD"
Hope i'm not too off topic here but ah i'm out West, I know Weazzy's out here too but are there many Westies keen to get some Jam sessions on?
Perhaps this requires a new thread? I'm a bit noob on forums and a bit noob altogether but keen as to get my skills up and may be put a team together for Barfights!
Any suggestions or advise?
Chur ;D
All good bro, definitely not off topic. You may wanna shoot a PM to Ben as i believe hes the West Aucks captain.

Toomeke
The only westies on this forum as far as I know are Zosla, Toomeke, Myself, Weazzy and massi4h. We never really have any "westie jam sessions" though. Giga on Fridays is probably about as close as you'll get since Mas and Ben are often there.

Bro, your starting to hurt my head a wee bit aye. I hate ppl that beat around the bush so what exactly do you dislike about all this? Is it because,.....
- South, has already organized their ranbats for this Sunday and we haven't even started? Theres 4 months to go dude, by the time bar fights comes round you prolly wont even remember if you made it into the team or not after all the piss you've had thru new years. So run along and do something else instead of playing sf4.
- Region specific? Whole idea from the start was to build up hype this way so thats how it came about, but Euan has already explain that to you in the other thread so i assume you'll be clear on this by now.
- You just dont like me putting together the team? Put it this way, when our Ranbats takes place, after you guys drink my beer, laxe on my couch, using up all my power, eating my food and tonguing my b*#!s,..... And i lose my spot, wouldnt that suck? Not really, cos i ll shake your hand after and still come to the bar fights to cheer you guys on. Cos its region specific brah and i ll be right behind ya!
Alternatively if it still bothers that much you more than welcome to be our captain and organize everything for us?
Anyways you owe me 10 min for this shit so make sure you rock up to Jame's this Sunday and we'll sort it out aight.

Just wanna say i will be changing the invites a wee bit,....No more spaces to fill as i would like EVERYONE who is keen to come just rock up. I dont live in a mansion but im sure we'll all squeeze in.
Will this work as a 'drop in and see if we qualify' or a 'stay the whole day' kinda thing? I'm guessing the latter as the former may be a logistical nightmare knee press.

Yo Simon, Rankbats is on the 27th Feb bro :)
The first 3 session dates on the intro of this thread is purely to get everyone together and upskill.
What are my options since im missing the ranbats?
Sponsor my own Oleet sf4 team? Team Birry Wong?
Shucks bro i really want to include everyone that is keen aye but i do understand there'll be ppl that wont be able to attend which sucks,...
Unfortunately we also have ppl like Cody/Hue who will not be back from there overseas trip to attend either but at the same time im not prepared to hold spots for either of them nor anyone else cos i dont see that being very fair.
I'm really at a lost on how to include the ppl that miss out.
Help?
Buck wild card team perhaps?
Oh yeah but what bout the non Aucklanders. They just have to make team fuck Aucklanders.
Yea its a toughie.
I can make the first sessions no worries, its just the official one that im missing out on. For me its not REALLY a biggie personally since, lets be honest, im pretty shit.
An option though is to use a similar format to the casual marvel ranking system i had going until everyone just stopped trying. (myself included) And apply it across the grind sessions.
It was here: http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,319.0.html
There are probably better options available. But its a random passing thought. And even so it means Cody/Hue still wont be here for anything.
It also will eliminate the 'off day' possibility that comes from holding the ranbats on one day.
eg. Lets say david is the greatest SF4 player in the world ever. He regularly beasts everyone at all the grind sessions. Contrasted by richard, who we'll say is the worst SF4 player in the world ever. He regularly licks the salt of other players testes at the grind sessions. Then the 27th rolls along, and david shits himself due to nerves, and gets fucked up by everyone, and richard miraculously figures out how to block, and somehow manages to fluke his way to victory over everyone.
If official ranks are calculated only on the 27th, then this means Richard ranks higher than david, which isnt an accurate reflection of skill. If its averaged out over the other grind sessions, then in this scenario david gets his deserved rank, and the accuracy is increased.
It can still be free for all, but the matches between potentially rankable players should have their results recorded.
Its a bit more work than anyone is expecting you to do though. And this has its flaws as well. But it might solve the problem of ranking people that can't make it. Though at this stage, i think its just me. Hue/Cody arent going to make anything, and as you say, you cant fairly reserve a spot for them. And since its just me not being available, theres no point going to extra trouble for just one person.
btw I think there is going to be a wildcard team, maybe that is going to be put together on the day? I'm not entirely sure what Lenny has envisaged. So there's always a little hope for those of us not in region/unable to attend ranking battles or whatever.
bill really does have a thing for me.
what will his missus think ???
She is probably use to wearing that El Richard mask he made.

Bill,... Good suggestion.
Currently im already juggling RL stuff with work/my toddler and stuff so i really would like to apologize but i don't think i will be able to re work the sessions to accommodate your idea :(
However,... If your willing, you are more than welcome to organize and implement the plan suggested and we'll just have it at my place on the same dates?
I just found what i have done so far to be pretty straight forward and easy given the time/effort im willing to put in it.

Lemme know what you think bro :)
Be happy too. Its pretty much in each players hands tbh. Biggest flaw being people not recording their results. But like i say, if im the only one that cant make the ranbats, theres no point to going to any extra trouble. Especially since im not terribly confident that i will even get a spot.
How about we go over this next Saturday?
Anywho,.. I will also require volunteers to bring 2 x extra setups with sticks, i currently only have xbox with sticks only.
I do have enough TV's to support 3 setups in total tho.

Just found out my parts arrived today. SO, i can bring a 360 + game + TE stick, and if i have the time, POSSIBLY my ghetto PS3 stick. If i do bring it, that shit will NOT be painted yet.
Ok since ive been away kinda missed out on all the goings on, im keen to join a team for bar fights maybe lee will too, ive just bought a ps3 tournament stick so could bring that along to any place, most people know i play viper and lee plays chun li.
Im back in auckland on the 11th, so any jam session would be fun or praticing, possibly even a team out there for me..??
I live central auck aswel.
SWeet
Thanks

Rofl, i got the first one and the last one mixed up.
Hiya, I've recently moved to Auckland, living in central so would be keen to come to some of these training/leveling up sessions. I'm pretty terrible compared to most of you guys but it'd be cool to come play anyway if thats cool!
Happy to bring my 360 TE stick as well, could probably bring my console as well if its needed (haven't read the rest of the thread)
chur!
not sure what I can attend and stuff yet as I've only just checked this thread, but will try to come along to the one next weekend!
Come along yo, more central players the better.

Have you heard of Ben (Toomeke)? He started playing Street Fighter seriously only last year and with dedication is now placing around about 3rd or 4th (unoffical) in the NZ SF scene. So yeah, don't sell yourself short.
Fully agree, Ben also plays alot of rog as well so you ll be wise to get some tips and hints from him mate.
yeah i saw the vids from the nationals! Should be able to make it next weekend, what time you guys starting?
*update*
Ok guys just to confirm, the 1st training session is free to ANYONE that wishes to come (address is on the first post of this thread) and is on this Saturday 16th 12pm-6pm.
I would require 2 extra consoles with sticks. So if your coming please text me and confirm what you are bringing so i know we'll have enough.
I ll also have Mame running to jam on some old school games as well.
Cheers
Fong
ok cool, i'll be there from midday, might have to leave around 4pm though as I think I'm going out for dinner that evening.
I'll bring my 360 TE stick as well!

Ill bring a few sticks with me for various shit. Whos bringing the PS2 with alpha/CVS2?
Dunno if i can make it to this one aye :'(
Got to hungus and spent all my money on liquor and weed today (payday). Fucking balls.
i might come.....or i might not :P
I'll bring da CVS2
Since I missed Euan's I might try make this. Kinda with Jay on this...
Awesome guys,
Euan: If you can bring your TE that'll be great but any chance i can ask you to bring your xbox too?
Lenny: Bro any chance i can get you to bring a setup altogether? It really does save me from having to ask for sticks from one person then consoles from another. If you could that'll be dope.
Jay/Massiah/Weezy: Man stop your shit people and just be there and bring your sticks ;)

You still have my Namco stick so we can use that, I need to grab it back off you at the end of the day actually unless you really still need it?
I can bring 2 PS3 TE sticks if we need 'em just can't bring my PS3 because as usual Suzannah will be using it while I'm out.
Graham: yeah bro i actually only used it twice :( I have been meaning to return it but obviously got slack. I ll give it back this Sat bro.
If you can bring ur sticks just in case that'll be awesome.

Bro you gonna have a bbq?
ooh hellll yeahhhhhhh
Shucks guys thats a good idea but im broke hard this month. Might have to be maccas for lunch/dinner from across da road :(
if u have the utensils then im sure everyone can chip in for the meats...come on all you rich mofos buying ur million dollar sticks :P
Dave has a point. If youve got a BBQ, then im sure that between the 700 people coming to your place, we can find it in our hearts to bring food with us.
failing that, i will totally make do with a mighty angus at maccas.
oooh is that the meat one with the damger mayo ?
Ooohhh id be keen for a bbq and a angus burger , large fries and coke and 2x dounble cheesburgers with mayo
;D
its the one without the dirty dirty salad.
I'm on da strictly beewahs diet. I've already lost 10 pds (of brain cells lol).
Sweet!!! Everyone bring meat, bread, and tomato sauce!!!!
if ganks pad is just across the road from the greenlane maccas, then we cam just raid the foodtown for supplies.
Bastards! Aite i ll remember to fill up the bottle after work 2moro ;D
I got all da utensils so if you fullas wanna bring what you want cooked im sure Jack is more than happy to man the barbe for us.

Very bad uncle is probably coming to Auckland this weekend so I'll bring him along on Sat, we might go to Yifans tonight as well!
Lenny you need me to beer style you. You cant just go out into the world thinking your alright, without the proper guidance. I think you would look better in a versachi belt, holding a Diesal. Or a Gucci hat holding a elephant beer.
I better come along to make sure you guys aren't breaking the beer fashion code.

ok sweet, we're heading out now, just gonna grab lunch on the way.
chur!
Big thanks to gankatron for having everyone over, was a pretty cool afternoon, good to learn some new match ups and meet a whole bunch of you! I definitely gotta get my practise in before the next one!
Chur!
alright, today was pretty awesome :D big thanks to our hosts, fong and jack. got some good games in, leveled up my rubbish sf4 skills (my chun is a bit less shit now), get beasted in hd remix (fuck you mason you gimmicky bastard), try dumb shit in t6 (i can only use jin and lose with everyone else) and mess around in marvel (CYCLOPS COMEBACK AGAINST STU ;D)
and did we scare off your pro marvel buddy dude he only gave 3S a go, and only ben played him, so i didnt get a chance to try my denjin scrubbiness :\
Big thanks to da Fong and Jack for organisings shit. Awesome.
Sorry for making most of you's my bitches today. Wholly shit how the fuck did i get home. Awesome. Fuck i shouldve grabbed da rest of that wine. Shot for having a glass with ya boy Euan. Me and you are da only ones with hairs on our sacks. Good to meet some new faces (then forgetting them).
Fuck i'm G-Krunk. Ima go crash and dream about titties, yyyeeahh booiiii.
Lol glad u made it home in once piece bro ! Thanks for a cool afternoon , i must learn I can't miss da link , the mAsh dp's punish me .
Haha u no scare , I no scare . That BBQ was s rank too fong chur bro
Yeah thanks alot you two. Epic day out, awesome seeing so many people there. And yay for me landing mvc2 raging demon on graham and stu. And beating richard at hdremix :D And being jack's cheapass akuma. Can't believe you made it home weazzy...
Damn, it seems I only get remembered when I'm beasted at ;)
GG's Everyone! Nice to meet your Richard, was fun and had some real close games (to only get jwonged with cyclops!) Fun games at both Marvel and HDR (Deejay dizzys for the win!). Smoof, JAPAN DESTROYED CHINA! Remember, when Ryu fights Fei Long it's Japan vs China. When it's Honda vs Fei Long it's Honda vs CHINA!! Oh YEaaaaah.
Cheers weazzy. Thanks for the games on the SFIV. I wanna level up that Rufus now but I really hate his ex massiah kick. Makes him feel like a shoto :-\
GG's too all the rest I played and BIG THANKS to Fong and Jack for the mean setups and games!! AWESOME!!!
Thrash that messiah kick g.
Fuck i woke up with the meanest headache. Damn mustve been da wine.
AWWWW BROO!!!! I left my controller charger at your house fong, its a lil usb cord. Fuck no games for me for a while, except sf4, phew. I'll get it at the next bro.

aww man, i copped a mean hiding at hd remix yesterday from basically everyone i played. fucking dee jay and that child molester smile.
im just glad we had a witness to the cyclops awesomeness ;D
Im confident in my ability to beat anyone at SF4 with fuerte. Not regularly, but at least get a win every now and then.
Except for fucking Jack. Youre a cunt bro.
Yeah, you surprised me big time Bill. But one thing i noticed. You had to guess right a shit load just to get half of Sagats life down. Haha. I dont think you'd be able to win in the long run. No matter how good your playing. And break concentration for a second and El Fuerte's game goes real shit real fucking quick. Imagine getting as drunk as i did and playing Fuerte, that would be a mish.
Big thanks to Fong and Jack for hosting, you guys are the meanest...Had more set ups going than RVB...was awesome not to have to wait for a game all day.
Stoked that I actually managed to win a few - Lenny I'm sure you guna do nothing but anaylise 'jumpy unsafe' Ryu's untill you figure my pattern out...haha, Rose took a few people by surprize also...getting whipped by her dirty dishrag pokes and ground game caught a few people off guard....
Jack you're fucking S-Tier someone get this kid a Manager and send him overseas, I'm Manage him for a slick %15....
Big ups to everyone I had the chance to meet and play against!
I look forward to next time...
Yea sorry bout that DVS. Didnt mean to rage. I was being a drunk cunt. I was getting pissed cos you were ducking my cross up then grabbing. Man i saw the grab coming after you ducked THE FIRST TIME, but i mustve been wasted. Then you did it like a 100 more times and made me rrrraaaaggggeeee.

No need for apoligizes bro, I abuse Roses throw reach a little too much.....MK slide (under jumps) = throw, duck cross up = throw....whiffed Dragon = throw.....
Besides that was like a medium rage....you forget I'm played against Bill in Yifans...I've seen RAGE before....
Big ups to Bill -his Fuerte was 'on' yesterday...saw him dish out a few beat downs
Hey Stu.
CHINA NEVER BACK DOWN
Yeah it was more of raging at myself for not teching for shit. Fuck i havent had that problem that bad before. Usually it would be my reactions fault. But with those sorta set ups, mustve been executing slopily.
I gotta come to one of these sober..............naahh

I didn't the word 'sober' was in your vocab?! 8)
lol yeah if you played sober the power of the beewas might abandon you cos you play good as drunk lol
I will get a $7.99 red wine next time too haha
First of all, thanks to all of you fullas for coming and making it happen and also cheers for bringing setups/gear.
Was great to see all the boys thrash it out at all sorts and nice to see new faces too.
Anyways im tired as hell cos our little bubba kept us up all night and morning so fuck this im off to sleep!

God. I wasn't on the best form either. But yea, its pretty easy to underestimate the low tiers. Expecially Ryu. TK Shinkuu Hadouken is faster than AHVB, and is safe, so that shit is gonna punish everything.
faster? uhhhhh
tk shinkuu hadouken is faster than tkahvb, but has none of the recovery.

THANKS HEAPS TO FONG AND JACK!!!!!!!
I had a fucking awesome day... so many setups, no aiting.. And BBQ was top tier baby!!!
more of the same this weekend?
Im interested in knowing info about this too... aka, is it open for all like the last one :D
I told you stu, of COURSE it's open for us :)
Well then, I cant wait!! :D
Alright guys, due to family reasons something has come up so i will be unable to hold our 2nd grind session this Saturday :(
However i can almost garuntee the last grind session and actual Ranbats will be all good.
Also this doesnt stop anyone else holding it (bit short notice i know) but if anyone is keen to hold it at their place this Saturday im more than happy to lend out my gear if your willing to come pick it up.
Sorry again guys.
Fong.
Gah, was looking forward to this... oh well, thanks anyway Fong :)
You gonna be up in Aucks anyway Alan or were you guys coming up just for this?
Hope everthing is well fong.
Graeme, we were wanting to come up for a bash ;)
Hope everything works out Fong, thanks anyway mate.
Graeme you keen for a mini jam session on Sat? You, Buda & me?

What about the Weazal bro. I'll help you's level up.
I already asked Buda about a jam this weekend and he said he's going away this weekend?
We can have a jam at mine but I can only fit me and 3-4 others into mine and we would only have one TV, my apartments not very big ;).
So if you're keen then Alan, Stu and ?? could head over as well? Anyone else?
I'll still have to run it past the mrs tonight so let me know guys.
I'll be keen. But if Gino wants to come up with Flux, he can.
It would be better if we can find a place bigger than mine. Let's see how this pans out and who's keen for what.
Bills house
Too true, will double check fulla....

Thi is truly an honour!! (sniff) I wanna thank my mom and dad... and finally God! For giving me this gift!!!
THANK YOU!!!
on topic though id be keen. Can't do it at my place though unfortunately. Hmmmmm. Pity RVB aint around.
Sweet gankatron, just do what you gotta do mate! Gutted though, I had got the time away from the missus on a long weekend! Not easy!
My 1 bdrm place ain't big enough either D:
I'm interested in coming up if I can get a ride with you Fluxcore
Alright so short notice, I talked to Suzannah and she said we can rearrange the lounge so I can fit 8-9 at a squeeze at my place on Saturday from 12 til 6pm then you bums have to find somewhere else to go :P. Someone else will have to bring a TV if we want a second setup which would be preferable otherwise there's gonna be a lot of waiting around for games.
We have to be pretty chill coz it's a pretty laid back apartment building but it's also fairly soundproof so as long as nobody starts yelling off the balcony or something we'll be alright.
I have PS3, 2x TE sticks and SF4, Blazblue CT, HD Remix, MvC2, KOF XII... to play on the 40" TV.
I have a PS2 we can chuck on the same 40" if we want but no component cables only RCA with one Namco PS2 stick. Someone would need to bring a second PS2 stick.
So of you guys are actually keen? Gene, Alan, Stu, Gino, Lenny, Weazzy get back at me on here asap. I can fit 2-3 more and that's it so post up if you want to come.
Sweet bro ill come and while im there i will set up your ggpo!!
Add Bill to that list. It will save me having to clean my place just to have you cunts smash it again.
_b
Will need address/directions though. Carpark would be mint also :)
Im not going away for whole weekend now. but wanna go up to north for 1 day, so....
if its nice weather on Saturday I cant come.
but if its shit weather, I can bring my 42" (tv that is ;) ) my 360 and 2 arcade sticks.
I got SF4 and HD remix.
Graeme, I'll let you know Sat morning, cool?
i woulda been keen to have it at my place, but my lounge is small like hamster
OK seeing as you Hamilton guys have the longest trip I can offer you guys our parking spot because we don't have a car so you can have our one in the building. Everyone else, there is parking on our st 99% of the time.
I'll PM everyone the exact address soon.
Kinda weird but it would help if you have a cellphone. The power cuts the other day put our intercom on the outs. It usually works at the moment but the building manager warned us it is playing up and needs to be fixed. If you get here and for some reason it doesn't work and you can't txt me that you're here I will have no way of knowing and you'll be stuck outside.
I guess I better make a list.
1. Lenny
2. Bill
3. Alan
4. Stu (I assume with Alan?)
5. Gino (I assume with Alan?)

Would good if you could me know before then, but I'll put you down as tbc for now. Kelvin don't worry about gear because we'll need to be sure that anybody bringing gear can definitely get here on the day and there is no way we can fit a third setup if you can make it. Can anybody else confirm bringing some gear?
I could bring 360 + games + TE stick, but no monitor...
Would be awesome if we could get a schweet PC setup with BB:CS!
Thats a yes from me, might be able to bring 2 sticks if needed to.........
Fuck, we could always hit up Giga or something if its starting to get a bit crowded

Yeah bro play it by ear.
Ill bring tatsunoko for a jam at that!
Yup, i'll be up with Alan too :D
Keen to hit giga up too if that means more of the peeps ;)
I'd be keen, can bring my xbox 360 TE + xbox + sf4 if you need. Got HD remix and marvel on my xbox as well. If there isn't enough room thats cool though, can always go to the next one in a fortnight!
Damn I dont know if i can come actually. Family bbq and shit. Rats. PM me yo cell Graeme. I gotta celly now. I'll give you a txt on the day to see if any room, if i can sneak out. We'll keep in contact anyway bra.
OK guys I need everyone to confirm one way or the other by lunchtime Fri, I don't mind if we shift this to Giga. I just need to know one way or the other so I can let Suzannah know what's goin' on becasue she has to plan something around what we're doing.

GIGA is a bit crap since their tvs don't like older consoles, and I want to see a lot of games that aren't SFIV.

How far away do you stay. Cos im a broke cat bro. Like $17 to my name lol. And need a few bourbinos to get me in the mood (for sexy time).
I'M GETTING HYPE.
anything I need to bring?
I'll just bring my stick for just in case purposes. Also Graeme, you need to teach your missus the are of Street Fighter :P
And reply to the weazal ffs.
Sorry Weazzy, I been REAL busy. I live in Eden Terrace, Auckland Central.

Bill I know you're worried about numbers but I didn't even get enough replies to fill a list of 9 people ???
If we still doin' this at mine then we need to get a second screen sorted real fast. There is no good having 10 of us and one screen ;)
It doesn't even have to be real big. I have a 22" Samsung computer monitor but it only has DVI in and I don't have an HDMI->DVI converter. If anyone has a DVI->HDMI convertor then we can use my computer monitor.
Along the same line does anyone have a set of component cables for PS2 so we can put it on the 40". I don't mind using my RCAs but some people reckon they lag.
Lets get sorted people, I don't want to muck Suzannah around and make her change her plans for nothing. We either have 2 screens and we all just hang at mine or we have one screen and the Hamiltonians come and hang or we all fuck off to Giga but if nothing is sorted by this afternoon then my place won't be an option at all.
I've got a crazy busy day of work ahead of me, hence me posting this from work at 7am :'( but I'll check back and reply as often as I can today.
If we can sort the second screen or get a convertor for my monitor it sounds like heaps of people can bring Xbox stuff and a console?
As long as we get organised today I will send a PM tonight when I get home from work/grocery shopping with my cell number and the address.
Does your monitor have vga too? If so I'll bring my vga cable if alan is still bringing his xbox. :)
Gene, I can bring my 32' LCD, its got component and hdmi inputs :o not sure how laggy it is though, I haven't had a chance to run guitar hero or anything on it.
Damager!
I'll bring my laggy laptop and two sticks.

Some people are idiots, too. Cables don't lag. If someone's setup lags using a particular type of cable, blame their tv/monitor. That's all there is to it.
As for everything else... uh... mommy?
Rorooze that would be awesome.
Stu, I'm pretty shit at this stuff. The monitor has two inputs DVI (I had to look that up this morning :-[) and the old 9 or 15 pin style.
But if Rorooze can bring a monitor with HDMI and components I guess we'll be OK anyway?
So that's two screens sorted (cheers Rorooze).
So unless I hear otherwise I'll expect at least the Hamilton Crew, Gene, Lenny, Bill and Rorooze around tomorrow?
Lenny please tell me you're coming and you're bringing a PS2 stick? I have CvS2 but if we want to play Alpha 3 someone will have to bring it. I can't play "copied" disc or NTSC discs.
Well I'll bring the cable still if someone wants to bring their xbox. Oh and I'll bring my eeepc with the old schoolies on it (A3,3S) ;)

Just bring the te, not sure about that sad laptop or stick :P
Yeah I think Stu's Eeepc is probably better than gino's laptop if the other day is anything to go by, lol...
Hahah, at least I know the stuff works on mine :P
If Leo doesn't get back to you graham ill bring my dusty old namco's with me. Also, ill PM you my number so you can txt me the address for tomorrow.
Just PMed Gene, Lenny, Bill, Hamilton Crew and Rorooze my cell and address anyone else hit me up if you are certain of coming.
LIES. I aint got no PM.
Thats cause your scrub. Also I forwarded to you. Scrub...
Quote from: ILL_BILL on January 29, 2010, 12:24:25 PM
LIES. I aint got no PM.
Fuck I knew I'd miss someone. Sending now.
Anyone know how to get hold of Lenny? He has no cell right?
Ummm, not sure. I'll see if he is on vent tonight. He probably get back to you before that though...
Is there room for Ben and I?
There should be but it's gonna get pretty cramped.
I'll PM you the address tonight, I'm sure we can fit yous in.
um ill bring sticks...
still figuring out how im gonna get there, but i will dammit!
Don't the Haliton Crew have to go past you to get here?
Already asked him that, he said it's pretty out of the way...
All good, just thought about it last night.

Oh, same to you Gene and your Ryu... I'm waiting for Super to drop to get me in that hype mode I had lost so many months ago :(
Thanks for having us all Graeme, was an awesome afternoon!
HD remix games were awesome! My balrog is SF4 was so retarded at times, missing so many combos >_< gotta learn someone else at some stage too!
Thanks for showing me blazblue flux, will have to get that running at some stage.

GGs everyone, puzzle fighter rocks
First of all thank you Graham for still having the jam at your pad with the limited space as available to you as well, good stuff :)
Second, just want to confirm the last training session and ranbats is still confirmed and check the dates at the start of the thread.
Thanks guys.
HADOUKEN !!!!

I guess I'm belonged to this group since I'm living in Central ^_^. I'm coming back NZ in less than 2 weeks time.
Hopefully I will be able to join the Official Ranking battle for Barfights on 27th Feb.
Well.... see u guys soon !!
P.S : I think Cody would be back around that time as well. He hasn't confirmed his ticket yet but he said he will come back before March.

I can't come this weekend, gutted. Have fun peeps.

Ranbats are gonna be at fongs place.
dates are in the original post, there is a training session this weekend (13th) then the ranbats on the 27th.
Definitely still on boys! This Saturday 12pm to whenever.
Again, bring whatever you want fired up on the barbe or we can make a dash to Countdown and everyone chips in.
See you guys den.
Sup fong havent been playing sf4 or xbox at that lol, but im coming bro been biz.e wit my new born n stuff, getting back into that sf4 biz, jammed at lennys last sat was badd.
I wud bring my 360 n shit but after I gave it to my brother it got e74(ed) lol so microsofts fixing dat mud az console. got my stick tho and money for chip ins. c yuu satz boiz.
Jay,.. All good brah welcome to my world! Just make sure you dont play any SF4 in front of your kid otherwise you ll have a similar problem like me,... The little rotter crawls straight to the TE stick when you put him down! :-\
Also to everyone else:
Me and Jack will be trialling out the Tournament maker and will run a test Ranbats this Saturday. So instead of mindlessly grinding we can get our game faces on and let everyone thats gonna come to the official Barfights Ranbats a taste of how it'll work.
Lastly: Once again i'll need 2 x volunteers to bring 2 x extra setups+sticks and if someone can bring a spare TV that'll be awesome.
I can definitely bring xbox, games and TE. Can't bring my monitor this time, but if you want I can bring a 14" CRT lol. It's no hassle to bring but people probably won't like the size.
Hmmm, if Gino is going up then I'll catch a ride with him and if not I guess I will have to see you guys next time :-\
I can bring a 360 TE stick but probably not my xbox/tv this time, think the GF is planning on watching movies while I'm out!
Ill be bringing my Wii and TVC! Also need peeps to bring PS2 sticks cause one of mine is bung! PEACE!
Dont think im gonna make this. Gotta finish moving house/missus having bbq. Admittedly, this is higher on my list of priorities than my girlfriends barbecue.

Thanks alot Jack and Fong, day was awesome. Exactly was Euan said. Thanks Stu for teaching me a bit of TvC, that game is pretty sweet, stupid wii not sharing though. Had epic games with heaps of people and tourney results were:
1st: Gankatron
2nd: Jacksmash
3rd: massi4h
4th: xpunch
ggs.
3rd mason? not bad.
Well Ben and a few others didn't play seriously at all, he was just wanting to play TvC. So he picked Ken against me... I beat Jay (wick3d) by losing to his gief with akuma then being a dickhead seth counterpick, then somehow also beating his rog. I got smashed by Fong in the winners final, then my cammy couldnt beat his sagat and neither could my akuma lol. I also beat lenny in there who had just a little too much rust. But yeah was a fun little comp.
FUCK YOU MASON KEN IS SERIOUS
only if the u mans playing him haha
Yeah he's got 3 players in the japanese top 50 but fuerte has none lol. I thought at least TKD would make the list. And oh yeah 21 Sagats rofl.
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/feb/13/top-50-sfiv-players-japan-character-stats/
lol :D
Character popularity
• 21 Sagat players
• 7 Akuma players
• 4 Rufus players
• 4 Ryu players
• 3 Balrog players
• 3 Ken players
• 2 Abel players
• 1 Blanka, C. Viper, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, E. Honda, M. Bison and Zangief player
man only 4 ryus and like mason said lol at the 21 sagats
I saw that the other day - lol's for sure
Mago must really play this game a LOT if he's sitting on 550k+ BP...
Which reminds me... I watched the Aichi vs. Kanagawa 17 v 17 the other day on Youtube... It was fucking amazing!

That list is based on BP, so number of games played. Im sure if it was based on awesomeness TKD/tetsu would be in there.
there is a character popularity list somewhere and sagat is not number 1
however that is the top 50 players and nearly half use sagat
That is the top 50 players based on BP. The results are quite different if youre counting competition results etc. I cant remember where i found those results actually.
Hey you bastards, this is for discussing training sessions for Barfights for the East Side guys. Go back to the Super/Street Fighter 4 threads.
Thanks Stu,... Now scram kids!
Ranbats session called off, please check out the first post.
I cant complain, since i was gonna miss it.
no biggie. gives me more time to sort out my chun
cool bananas, now i can practice my broomhead more 8)
