Title: LETS GO TO JAPAAAAAN!!!! OR MAYBE AUSSIE!!!!
Post by: Lennysaurus on July 03, 2009, 10:31:30 AM
Soooooo...

I worked out that a return flight to japan is $2056-00.  And that living costs are roughly $90-00 per day.  I reckon going over there for 2 weeks would turn us into street fighter GODS!!! Whos with me?!?!?!!

Or!

Flying Emirates to Aussie return ticket is only $333-00 bucks!!!  We could get in touch with Ozhadou and set up an event with them.  We could go NZ versus aussie in a whol bunch of different fighting games and start a real trans tasman rivalry.  We coul all stay at stu's house and stink his place up. 

What do you guys reckon?

Japan's a bit hardcore

Aussie sounds plausible though...

Im really really really really really serious about this aussie thing though.

I dont think it would be that hard to put together $500-00 for most of us by February.  But it also means that we need to practice hard and level up our play to rep over there.

Depends where in Aussie. If it's Melbourne then I could prob swing it as my fiances brother lives in Melbourne and we've been looking for an excuse to get over there anyway.

they usually hold OHN in sydney, id be keen to meet you niggras there RAWR, always down to rep NZ styles.

theres a guy on xbl humanbomb he came second at the last OHN hes meant to be like a sf4 god here, so ya'll best be practicin to get to his lvl and the winner toxy looks to have a pretty solid sagat.

My understanding is that all the comp is in Sydney, where they hold OHN.

why not make it to OHN next year if you wanted to come over at least you know that the aussie dudes will be there.

I was kinda thinking of doing both tbh.

Come over get some play.  Come back for OZHADOU.

I just think I am not at a level where actually playing in Japan would teach me anything! Maybe you constant Yifans-goers are a bit closer, but baby steps imo...

I've been planning to go over to Japan next easter with my missus.  Not sure if you guys are up for that though.

Also with accommodation at my place that should be fine as long as you guys give me PLENTY of warning.  I need to smooth things over with the missus for that to happen.  ie, Stu been in the dog box of late :P

It's only $2000 one way, dunno what it is return though. There are many opportunities to speak English in Tokyo.

There was a grab-a-seat flight to Tokyo return for $600 the other week

Doubt you'll be getting ridiculously cheap flights like that though lol

You should keep some money in the bank in case those $600 Japan flights come up again.
They seem to do it every year.
I went with the missus to Osaka last year, Luckily got to play SF4 before it was released here (yeah I pee'd in my pants a little bit)

Weird thing was though, no one was playing the shit! few people on Tekken 6 and cuntloads of people in the Kachinko parlors (weird Japanese pokies)

I'd definitely recommend it though, be prepared to drink till very late every night of the week  ;D

oh yeah, hi everyone  :P thought it was time I got all up in this fighty game forum.
