Title: My Melbourne trip, rate this t-shirt
Post by: Skullator on December 14, 2009, 10:06:17 AM
Just got back from Melbourne recently, and they had this sweet "Design your own t-shirt" stall set up in one of their shopping malls.
Figured it was a great idea, so I had a crack at one!

Haha, my mates couldn't believe that I actually wore it out a bit, but man I love it lol!
Such an awesome city, with great people and public transport to boot. Would make a choice place to live.

Being the SFIV Geek that I am, one of my first orders of business in the city was tracking down each of their SFIV arcade setups haha. I managed to find and play at 3 out of 4 of their SFIV arcades. Russel street has the best players \ community. Highpoint's Playtime see's the most action (mostly noobs playing there though) and the Crown casino's Galactic circus arcade has the best equipment by far (Looks like completely legit SFIV cabinets like Japan has, HD monitor's with full sanwa's)

I also got to play sets against the countries #2 and #4 in SFIV while over! Toxy and Ero Oyaji.
Beat Ero's Akuma a couple of times, and managed to get Toxy's Akuma to final round alot but never managed to get him down. His vortexing and frame trapping is godlike, and he landed a Kara raging demon on me! First time I've seen somebody land one on me, the speed required to input that move is intense lol.
A real shame for me tho, Aussie's #3 is a fellow Chun Li player called Aesop83, but he was on vacation in China for the duration of my stay.
So I didn't get to meet him despite having had many Chun strategy meetings with him throughout year on MSN haha.

Any NZism keen to maybe hit up OzHadou's 2010 Nationals? Could be fun imo!
