Great to hear CHCH is getting a bit of a scene together :)
Man today was awesome, thanks for the games Captain was mean as! Would be good to get some more players.
Haha yeah man that stick Andrew has was all good!
I'll try training some friends, the more players the better.
Playing SF4 on my laptop during lectures ftw
wow nice, good to see chch peeps are getting together!!!
PMd you this bro but just in case I'll put it up here
I won't be able to make 1230 tomorrow cause my class time changed so I'll be at uni till 2. Sorry man just got told today about the switch
Will be in at 230 if yous are still around if not sweet!
Sweet as man, Pmed you also if you can't make it tomorrow I've pmed you the details for tomorrow night tourney/Street Fighter Party.
Must of missed today don't worry me and Andrew had some games.
Might see you guys tomorrow at the SF party. We'll have Andrew's stick for arcadeish setup styles. Also talked to MJT online from Dunedin who's keen to play us when he's up in CHCH at Timezone next week.
Sorry man couldn't make it today, went into timezone around 230ish. Yous left me a free credit hahah! Shot man! I was going to head round but I thought I'd fall asleep on the bus there.
Will try to make it tomorrow!
Moved to mine for this week: 26 Feb
Will pm the usual suspects. PM me if you need the address.
good shit munta ;) keeping things on lock down in CH CH and keeping the SF4 scene alive down there gee's seems like every1 in NZ is getting more interested in SF4 and are getting it down packed :) (borat voice)>>> nice!! HI 5
Good games today Gents. MJT came up all the way from Dunners to play CHCH's finest. Well me and propafana anyway ;) I think the whole no arcade machine throws a spanner in the works. Also a bit of a mish for Redtie to come all the way from Uni to mine.
GGs all the same gents. Cool to get some games in on my new 32" PS3 set up ;D
Cool to be able to play a lot of different Street Fighter: 3rd Strike, Alpha 3, even CVS2 at timezone. Even Tekken 6 for laughs on PS3.
Also good to chat arcades with Damon and semi suss out prizes for the Timezone Sf4 tourney.
So next week. 12:30 timezone wait for Redtie etc? Or Redtie shall we meet the regulars at Timezone head into Uni say 3:30ish do the laptop, sticks, VGA, LCD TV mish? Waddya reckon? Also need VERY detailed instructions on finding the games room. That place is a maze ???
Sorry man couldn't make it today was busy at uni doing shit. Went upto the xbox setups. They have taken the xboxs away BUT the TVs are still there
;D
Hopefully they weren't going to get picked up tonight seperately! I'll be at uni tomorrow to see if they're still there
Haha yup! Next week is a go if those TVs are still there. Will draw the the meanest bitmap map for yous guys on how to get to the place
Sorry I couldn't make it either as I was also busy with uni stuff but next week I'll definitely be there!
If you guys get lost just give me a txt marc and I'll give directions ;D

I must have lost your number bro, sorry. Can you send it through again? Or you can send it via private message on this forum.
Sounds like a plan. I'll bring my stick and converters. You got your stick yet Darth or Redite otherwise may just bring yours Andrew.
Good stuff so I'll meet everone next week at TZ If things go to plan for the uni setup choice Tamati. I dont think Darth has his stick yet as he mentioned in his earlier posts.Are you going to bring yours Mark? Or should we bring all three including mine and Redties? or just the two all good though.
Cant make it to TZ tommorrow fellas but next week for sure to level up before the tourney..

Yeah bro I'll bring my stick, converters, maybe even those Nubytech pads. I may even bring my laptop but then we'd need another VGA cable, could play old schools on that but might wait till next time just to see the turn out and if it's worth lugging all that stuff about. Mrs might need the Laptop anyways. Sounds like a plan though.
If Nora needs your laptop all good anyways cos we might not have another vga cable.
Its just a trial out of the place no need to bring too many periphials yep we will see what its like.
Catch yous up on Friday Redtie and Nick around 3.30. Do heaps of work at uni for this reward ;D
Didn't make it to uni on Saturday so will check tomorrow if the TVs are still there. I'll be bringing my stick. PS3 controllers work perfectly on my Laptop
If anyone asks, we are one of the societies on campus and if they wanna join they have to buy us a round of beer at the foundary
Awesome
**EDIT: Am writing this from uni, DID NOT see the TVs today. HOWEVER theres a book sale on in the same room and they may have temporarily moved it from the room. Will keep yous updated

Sweet keep us in the loop tomorrow morning on the forums or just get Nick to txt. If it's called off at uni we could just wait to meet yous at timezone. Andrew and I will be bringing pur sticks and I'll bring my convertor and VGA cable of goodness.
Also can give you the low-down on the Timezone and Gamestation tourneys. Let's get cracking :)
Edit: Heard from Nick no tellys so if no tvs we might catch you at Timezone: Oh now with a poster I whipped up:
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/sf4posterA44mmbleed.jpg)
Poster is reaaaaaaaaaaaal nice!
Yeah no TVs because of the book sale this week damn. Lets hope they're back next week! Writing from uni, got my stick and laptop on me will be at timezone by 3:30 if the buses are good. Seeyou's there!
Hey I'll have to settle for practicing at the arcade, I had to cancel my stick order because something else came up. Too bad the VIP free game doesn't apply to the SF4 machine! Oh well! I'll keep on mashin it none the less =) Got schooled by propa the other day in CvS2, man I'm wayy outta practice for that too lol. Kept flubbing my supers and accidentally doing shit. Did one roll cancel so was happy, but still....
Also, that air hockey game behind the fighter machines, can we get that moved do you think? Damon, if you're reading this, that air hockey table is so distracting bro. Wrecks my game and I keep leaving tz with a headache. The old air hockey used to have plastic sides, but with the metalic ting ting ting in my ears it's bloody awful. Dunno if anyone else minds it, but I can't bear it! :'(
Cheers everyone for coming out today. We have Fliers and posters now Woot! :)
Damon printed some out so the SF4 machine is pimping one.
GGs Nick!
Your Gouken is beasting! Really fun tight matches. My personal favs were Sim and Cammy vs Gouken. Some awesome mixups happening. Great stuff!
GGs Andrew!
Schooled my Gouken with your Blanka but took revenge with my Bison. Nice Cvs2 battles. Your friend Carlos' Gief was hard work.
GGs Tamatai!
Nice Bison mirror was cool to see the stuff you learned applied on the CPU as we played rounds. Bison is helluva fun. Sorry to have to mission it at the end, will hook up you with that CD next time I see ya.
Fun as CVS2 matches as well. I played like shit but still had a blast. CVS2 tourney sometime? lol 3 entries!
Also
TZ meetup moved to 3pm from now on.It's just too long to wait 12:30 till 3 so we've moved the time hope it suits everyone. Just holla if it's not a good time/day and we'll change it.

Sucks about your stick bro. I got some PS2 6 button nubytech controllers if you want to borrow one, not the same as a stick but a step up from keys/most pads nevertheless. Shame I don't have another stick to lend you.
If you ever wanna get some arcade practice in or training mode Darth just flick us a text, always keen for challenge and sharing tricks. Be good to catch up and see what Ken/Sakura tricks you've been working on. In the meantime maybe rock your Ipod till the air hockey table is moved ;)
Also maybe we could get some evening events happening leading up to the tourney. We meet at Timezone or someones house. That way we can get more players involved maybe and rock the training mode a bit :)
So mark April 3rd on your calenders Gents and spread the word. 8) Scott (2nd place at Mashmasters) is keen as, Jay might be joining to, Q will be overseas sadly. Also the tourney will have pad support so no excuses for padwarrior friends.
GG's today at SFIV Mark verses your gouken and Bison matchups. GG's at CVS2 too Redtie and Mark and Darth the other day. ;D That guile sonic hurrican combo was flash as Redtie
Next time I will try and make it to yours mark though I was out of time had other comitments at hand. Or if the uni setup happens that would be a bonus trial out one of these days.
It was also nice to catch up with my old school friend Carlo that I haven't seen in so long for a few matches with his Gief that was cool.
I really.. really.. like the flyer design Mark thats quite impressive that SFIV machiene has been officially pimped :)

Awesome games Marc! Definitely tight games with a lotta mixups! They were also my favourite matches and when I thought I had a gurranteed victory your Sim made a great comeback! From worrying about getting perfected to winning... You were feeding the pigs weren't you?!! >:( lol
Shifting the time to 3pm is much better, I'm usually unavailable until the late afternoon and all this talk about CvS2 games without me be a part of it is really pissing off Rock, Terry, Yun and Gief!! ;D

I hear ya
You're right, it drives me crazy as well and I have to put up with it all day!
It's not just the different air hockey machine but ever since we had the refit two years ago the acoustics of the whole store have changed mainly due to the solid, hard surfaced ceiling, whereas before with the old ceiling we had soft, plaster-board tiles that really absorbed sound
The Tekken guys have made the point too so I'll see what I can do
It's just so damn big that there's not a lot of relocation options in the store
One idea I had a while ago was to move all the fighters upstairs and bringing drums/guitar down round by the pinball...a nightmare task and a move I probably wont make
Or what about moving the fighters along the side of the store opposite the drivers, next to the photo machines (you know, nearer the front)...would you guys mind that? (of course I'd relocate Guitar Hero and possibly the dance game)
It's hard to keep everyone happy with game positioning, especially the music-game players
The short story is though that wherever games go in an arcade there will always be a clash of audio and it would be especially bad upstairs where the sound is more or less confined in a small area and besides, I run the risk of the games up there being missed by casual gamers, who are very important to the business
I might make some changes on Saturday night, I won't put anything upstairs though, if moves don't work I can easily put things back but, not if things go upstairs however...when we put things up there we never want to move them again
Rant-over :P
Oh and once again, awesome job with the poster/flyers Marc, thanks
GGs Marc and Andy
Man capcom is STILL fun! Andy still got that job as a painter haha nice games bro! Shot Marc for showing me some more Bison was cool I'll start spamming short scissors from now on. Ima start practising with bird girl again.
Did you put up flyers at westfield TZ? I'll be in that area today so if they're not up I'll ask them if they could.
If the machines got moved to the front that would be cool! Cabinet would get more views so all good.
Hope next week at uni works out!
Move the latest fighters to midstore I reckon, swapping places with the photo games. That way, you don't have to shift anything upstairs, the fighter games will be right there for casual gamers coming in, and people who want to use the photo games don't care about a little noise because they're not trying hard to focus on a game and they're only there for a few minutes. ;D
gg's Mark and Redtie yesterday. I'm still a bit rusty with Bison's custom in the corner. But I like the challenge of it if I manage to pull it off. CVS2 is still good to play anyday. Keen to verse you Nick next time if your in TZ.
It would be a good change if the fighter games could be moved near the middle of the store or anywhere near the front. They would get a bit more attention from the publics point of view. I'm sure you will think of something Damon.
Was in timezone today for a quickie and the relocation of the machines is awesome! Nice one Damon.
There was a bit of a crowd watching all the machines was real cool. I got to use my secret character I've been training because none of yous were around ;D
I know who your character is ;D
WHO TOLD YOU!! Were you there yesterday bro? Sad guy didn't even challenge me
Na na I wasn't there I just read these forums very carefully bro...Im just guessing by what I know so far who I think you have been training with all good man.
Hahah nah wasn't using Fei bro. Its my newer secret character
Hey Marc!
I put up flyers around uni for yah and went into TZ riccarton and was talking to the lady behind the counter. They have a SF4 setup now, she said its been getting busy too. So I handed her some of the flyers and asked if she could put them on the cabinet and on display around the place. She said she would have to talk to the manger about it but was really liking the idea, she asked for my email and she took just one of the flyers. I will forward the email to you if they email me bro. Sweet!
***EDIT. Just checked my email after posting that
Good Afternoon Tamate
I have spoken to our Manager here and Yes you are more than welcome to have flyers in our shop.
Many Thanks
Natasha Campbell
From:tzriccarton@coincascade.co.nz
I guess you could go in and give them a poster and flyers
Or you could hand them to me and I could do it for yah
Oh man, I should have done this today
I met with the other TZ managers at head-office today and could/should have passed some flyers on...I'll call them tomorrow and have some sent out to Riccarton and Moorhouse
The managers there are both good guys so I think they will help out with promoting this event
^ HYPE! HYPE! HYPE!
I gave Damon the disc but I can send her the the Jpeg to print out. Yeah man we should hit up moorhouse too if we have enough left. Or I can print out some more once I get more ink for my printer. It kinda works out for everyone if they are all playing the machines to level up for the tournament.
Good shit :)
good to see the scene going well down south.
Hope u guys can put together a team to come up to Auckland for the upcoming events^^
Ohhhh man yous all missed out!
There was this irish guy on the machine yesterday. Was on his OE or something. He was pretty good with Dhalsim, Akuma and Ryu. We got some good matches in. But damn, he said he leaves Friday morning so wouldn't make our usual time.
Was also a few other guys playing too that I've never seen before. Must have made the jump from tekken har har
Our scene is getting bigger.
Damon just a question about the SFIV game. For thoughs that are a Platinum membership like me, can they still be able to get their 2x free games on that machiene even though it is a PC version? Because it doen't appear it works I'd thought I'd ask.
Im not going to be able to make this friday fellas, next week I will be there though to do some more practice and leveling up before the tourney.

Bummer bro, nevermind we'll catch up next time. Hope your'e getting plenty of Blanka practice in. (http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/blankaav.gif)
Hanging out for tomorrow been another busy week with hardly any time to play SF4. We are buying a house, lots of work on and my bands got it's first gig in ages on Saturday night:
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/tspflyer130410.jpg)
You guys are training hard, Scott is too, he's playing Q every night and also playing the CPU to learn more about playing non shotos for a change ;) it'll be cool to see a NZism dude take the title not some random dude. Glad everyone's putting in the effort, gonna be some tense matches have to get you guys to film some of them shaky cam styles :)
Wanna start to get the Super Tourney sorted too even though it's quite a while away.

Yeah got other commitments though I have to put some more time at TZ since thats the only place I can conviently practice at.
Cool to hear scott is training hard against Q. Is that his ryu hes using? Also good that your band is playing again.
It would be cool to go listen I will see..
Goodtimes today :)
Great turn out! good to catch with you guys and to meet Loomie and Victor as well as that Tekken player who's name I never caught.
Sorry we didn't stick around Damon. Left at about 4:40 or so. Will catch you up in the week and we'll suss some more fliers and setting up vs mode on the cab. Loving the new layout, really makes the place looked packed :) Sadly game STILL dropping inputs. I might need to make people aware that this happens randomly before the tourney even starts, play at your own risk styles. Should be sweet as. If the cab has a total meltdown we can finish on Tamati's laptop ;)
Everyone is getting way better. My Honda/Cammy is getting power owned and everyones character choices are going to make for an interesting event. :)
The games at my place were fun too shame I was a bit tied up so couldn't get as many games in. Nevermind all good :D
Darthfox was MIA. Hopefully we can catch up with you before the tourney, see how you're coming along, maybe you can get some CVS2 revenge on the guys, you'd probably own me for free, I think you did last time from what I remember.
Gamestation is Keen as for the Super Tourney. Just gotta get a solid time. Will be making up fliers etc for it to hand out at the Timezone event. Also will be doing pavement art outside the venue:
Here's the draft:
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/akumaroughweb.jpg)
Make sure you get your Consoles and copies of SSF4 from Gamestation. Might be able to even swing a pretty sweet deal for people that come to the tourney.
Heading off to Germany in July so we'll have to have an event before then too maybe to tide me over. Maybe King of Capcom? A point based 3rd Strike, CVS2, SF2 HF, HD Remix tourney. Single elim invite only, the winner is the one with the most points across all the games. Maybe $8 entry, winner walks away with all the cash ;D
EDIT 4 Loomie Just got your txt loomie! lol at 10:20 at night. Bummer man Redtie and nick were still keen next time bro
GG's today at Marks nice practice session it was with other characters to verse
I played this guy today after nick had droped me off in town. I only versed him once and he bet my blanka with his ryu. He was quite good I will challenge him again for sure..
Fuck, ITS COLD!
GGs to everyone! Our scene is definately getting bigger!
;D
Nice meeting yah today loomie, you'll level up real quick playing with us so keep coming down to TZ on Fridays.
Man I was still hungry to play some more after we left Marcs haha. Next week who knows might even have some more players down there. Every player I play and haven't seen before I'll make sure to point them to this site. Seeyahs next Friday.
Kind of off topic but munta that pavement akuma looks fucking incredible.

Cheers bro :) I hope you realize that the draft I sketched up and put over a photo of the location and coloured it in photoshop. It should come out looking similar if I can get the 3D right like on my Ryu effort. Gonna be fun as to draw though.

Lol yea, what i should've said was, 'That pavement Akuma is going to look fucking incredible'
^Cheers Bill :)
SF4 Controls locking up.
Most people who have touched the SF4 machine at timezone have noticed that every now and then the controls will all of a sudden midmatch either:
1) No input, both characters
Both characters stay in idle stance for a second or so then play resumes normally.
2) Freeze on last input, One or both characters
Character/s stay ducking/walking forward etc.
So with the tourney coming up what do we do?
Hopefully timezone find the root of the problem. (I'd suggest testing the USB slots with other controllers, that way you just gut two check Sticks that use quick disconnects and use their PCBs and wiring)
Otherwise how about these rules?
If the controls noticeably freeze for both players.
Both players wait for a second, test the controls and when both are ready and agree to continue the match. Like we are doing now basically.
Controls noticeably freeze for one player.
The players who's controls freeze must call it out. Other player most stop attacking till he regains control. Players taking advantage (Throwing out an, Ultra, Command throw, High damage move) will automatically loose the round. (Judge's call). Also judge will decide whether complaint is legit (Test stick quickly, notice that an obvious block was missed etc...). Players that cry wolf may need to rematch on backup setup or will automatically throw the round.
WTF moments.
If any other tech malfunction happens that can't be settled Judge may decide to have a rematch on the backup setup. (Laptop) Only catch is judges must vote whether it's worth doing. Might be a good idea if the controls freeze just before the time ends on low health.
We do need to run the majority of this tourney on the TZ hardware so if it's not fixed by then or breaks I think this rule set will help. If there are problems with the machine before the tourney I'll make sure everyone entering knows these rules. And will print them out. What do ya reckon gentlemen?
Oh and while I'm here. Here's the main image I want to use for the fliers to the Super tourney. This is just a mock up if it was an Ad:
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/promoidea1.jpg)
Agreed.
We need a rule about personal hygene too.
Today I went in for a quickie and half way through the first round some fat kid went onto the tekken machine. I could smell him from the SF4 cabinet. It was horrible the kid smelled like he had rolled in every pile of dog shit he saw that day plus all the vomit puddles from town on saturday night. You could not escape that smell and every time he moved you caught a huge whiff of it. I use to imagine what that armpit odour of that monster off 'Ahhhh real monsters' would smell like and Im guessing it would smell pretty similar to that fat kids stench. I even started saying shit like "Ewww what the fuck is that smell?, YOU STINK! and Go home and shower" loud enough for him to hear it.
I ended up getting up off the machine and leaving. This gotta be the only time ever that I wouldn't want a tekken player to make the jump to our cabinet.
I agree also with those rules of play with that machiene good for pointing it out Mark.
haha sorry to hear that redtie. Those are the worst kind of scrubs. They are called mash odour tub scrubs lol

Requesting mod edit to change the word 'ugly' to 'awesome'
Went into Timezone yesterday to have a couple of games of SFIV and asked Damon if CVS2 is going to be fixed any time soon.
Well got some bad news, that games motherboard is stuffed and burnt out for good now, so its never going to be back up and running. Instead they are going to replace it with another streetfighter game. Man thats such a shame.
I also signed up first on the list for the tournement on the 3rd. Theres this asian guy thats also signing up for the tourney a new comer that I've played a few times which is good, the more the better
Hey guys, sorry I've been out of touch, been getting a few random games in at tz though, had one today and talked to Damon about the gayfest that is CvS2 dying...
My Ken's been coming along, haven't had time to learn Fei but Ken's getting better, whipped out a DP > FADC > EX DP today, and a j.HK > c.HK combod into level 3 FA as he got up, into Ultra. Also did j.MK crossed into MP > HP > super. Learning to love the sf4 Ken eh. I'll try to make mashies this friday at 3.30
Hmmm I wonder what they're gonna replace it with. I'd vote for 3S or Marvel

Awesome bro! Shame about CVS2, they should replace it with 3rd Strike, that game is pretty! If they can't find another CVS2 board :( God imagine if they replaced it with SF EX or something, that game will look like Lego-molesting next to SF4.

I'd be good to catch up bro. Got a few more recruits now, It's going to be an awesome comp :) Everyones leveling up but me :( Don't have time. Moving and SF pimping takes alot of time ;)
Also good news on the Super SF4 tourney front:
Here's the announcement!
http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,1068.msg32254.html#msg32254
Also get $10 off your Copy of Super if you enter the tourney! Time to console up people! ;D Send all your friends to get their copies there if you can. Then stay at their houses till you can afford consoles of your own. Pre-order and get Hype!

Cheers for the announcement Mark about Super sweet as man
They replaced CVS2 with Virtual Fighter that wont make much profit at all, Yeah Damon would like to replace it with some kind of streetfighter game in the future I hope its going to be a good one :)
CvS2 died? man thats really sad to hear. :'( Oh well, heres hoping for 3s, Super turbo (If only HD Remix got an Arcade release :-[) or even hyper fighting to be the replacement!
Anyways, see you challengers tomorrow! ;D
GGs today gents. :D
Loomie,
Your stick skills are improving fast. Your FADC antics and stuff were cool to watch. Good stuff man.
Propafanda,
Fun matches man. Fun Blanka mirror and Sagat vs Blanka too.
Redtie,
Man you've improved, your Rog was pretty good with only a few wholes here and there. Man your Ryu though, that 3-4 game win streak on my Rose hurt! :'( Good shit man. I'm going to have to try and squeeze some time into leveling up. Looking back I did some pretty stupid stuff all you needed to do was zone till I fucked up and punish. I gotta tighten up my gameplan if I'm going to have a chance at the tourney. Good wake up call for me. ;)
Yup GG's today fellas I had to go in the end Nick until next time.
Redtie nice boxer and ryu today youre got it down with those two and leveled the hell out of those matches.
I got work to do haha
GGs to the Captain, propa and loomie
Oh man that winning streak was unreal. I don't think you were on game really. I think the last match was probably the most realest that was intense! Im only good cause of all these Friday sessions we've been doing, been really good learning stuff from everyone. I will put some more time into boxer, he's very fun to use. Need to look up some cool shenaningans with him. Im all about the shenanigans
;D
Andy GGs man your Sagat is getting good! And Blanka too! Man was cool learning that you play volleyball bro haha you must have the mad hops being an inside hitter!
Loomie you getting that stick down pretty fast! Man I didn't expect you to be there today was cool that you did!
Overall GGs look forward to next week. Haha Nick came in and ended my win steak today then my girlf came and told me off so I had to leave.
Sucky I couldn't come, ended up getting this flu-like virus that among other things it made me tired and weak for 2 or 3 days. Only just got better today. Next week, mashies for sure. I'll get some sessions in before then if Damon doesn't send the sick old bird away again. Hope tz gets Super sf4, I asked Damon and he basically said it's a 50/50 chance fingers crossed, but moneys tight

50/50 for Super? That would be awesome if it got a PC release, arcade release or a pimped out X360 cab. We should all invest in the console version, if not, I'll have to put more jams on at my place. Too many awesome new characters adding to the roster for people to not pick it up.
A Street Fighter III 3rd strike cab would be awesome at timezone. Christchurch never gave that game the love it deserved.
If CvS2 does rise from the grave, imagine playing it with Sanwa sticks and buttons. That would be cool. 8)
Street Fighter IV CHCH tourney only 2 weeks away! Drag along everyone that has even a remote interest in the game. Trying to rangle some Easter/SF themed spot prizes, nothing mindblowing but something fun at least :) :-X
Much appreciated Nomad for the games today with the swiper cards. As I was in the city I decided to put a little training in. Instead had a couple of casual wins with new players. They were ken and akuma players verse guile I chose at the time.
They know about the tournements and probably will attend ;D
Weekly meet up tomorrow. Goodtimes!
It'll be good practice as I've spent most of my time with God Of War 3 this week. Be good to see you all there from 3 onwards. We won't be migrating to mine unless the machine is busted. Will keep you all posted via txt if we do.
Also Redtie have to catch up and do some SF4 Laptop stuff before the tourney.
Go through the roster, check they have their proper models/colours etc...
Hook u up with the tournament software we're using.
Check the setup with PS3(PS2 if we have to) and Both our arcade sticks (In case the arcade cab has a meltdown)
Test my monitor on your setup so things go smoothly on the day.
See you guys tomorrow :) (We need a thumbs up smiley)
Hey Munta and crew awesome to see the scene building down in Chch! Just wanted to point that out I remember how you used to say that there was no one else to play locally but now its a different story. Big ups to you for holding it down and bringing all the enthusiasts together man! ;D
@ Cptmunta
Yup for sure! Im free all day before 6pm on Thursday every week. Ive put most chars back to normal except bison cause it was a straight overwrite on that mod haha so got to look for the original skin online. I won't bring my stick in today as were not having games after TZ but if we do head back we could just stop in and I could grab it if need be. Nick wont make it hes leaving for AKL for the weekend. See yahs all at 3!
I got a few wins yesterday, still leveling up my Ken. Also funny stuff: back in the day I played tekken with some fuckin amazing players, really top notch, I competed with them. Now that Kenyo, Neal and Glenn (like the 3 best tekken players in chch) moved on, there's only scrubs there. After like 2 years of not playing Tekken I challenged with my Paul. Got smashed the first 2 rounds, then won every round and match after that :P Was funny to have a local sf4 player kick the tekken guys off their own game.
Won't be at mashup today though, I've got my diploma graduation today so ggs, maybe next time. Seems to be my motto lately...
I'll be there later today probably 4.30 for a couple of games. Going to be on the road back from Rakaia with the old man then stuff at home to do all good if yous are gone by then.
GGs Redtie,
Cool matches loved the Dan matches, Honda matches, Sagat matches, goodtimes. Reminded me how much fun this game is.
GGs Kim/Tim
Sorry can't remember if your name was Kim or Tim. :-[ Anyways ggs. Mean MK tattoo man. That's 2D dedication. Be cool to see your Ken at the tourney. Sorry I didn't have that much time to talk once the Redtie and the other guys showed up. Good to meet another Linwood old schooler. Mind the wake up Ultra's Specials and remember to tech your throws with the two weak buttons.
One week till Christchurch's first Street Fighter tournament in at least 10 years. Bring everyone you can along, spectators, girlfriends, wives, family, cheerleaders all welcome! ;) More hype we make it, the bigger the community, the more likely Timezone would be to pick up future Street Fighter releases.
I won't be at mashup next week since it's Good Friday and have family stuff happening. But organizing a small get together at my place to test PC software setup etc.
It'll be 8:30pm at my place on Thursday. Will also bust out the old emus, 3rd Strike, CvS2 maybe see how we go for time. So I'll PM/text you guys make sure you bring your pads/sticks.
Also thinking of moving mashups post tournament to 8pm Friday at Timezone. Thought it might suit us a bit better for peeps with work, kids, daytime commitments. Then we can move it to my bros or mine afterwards if need be. Also a good platform for people heading into town for the night.
What are your thoughts guys? Better time or worse?
GGs to the captain. Those matches were too funny that Dan one was awesome! I demand you use more honda because I have no idea how he plays in sf4. Damn you are good with him I think. haha.
8pm would be pretty sweet! we could all go grab a beer after or something who knows. Next Thursday should be good! One week till tournament...
GET HYPE!!
I'm ok with 8pm, the chances that I won't be able to make it to that session can't be any greater than the chance of me missing the 3.30 lol. I've missed the last 4. So yeah I'm cool with it =)
8 sounds good not long now before the tourney. And it broke down again since yesterday. I went in today and its not operating dam. I hope there wasn't too much mashing on that fridays mashup.

There was a bit of mashing not pointing fingers. I think alot of the casual players have to go a bit more gentle on the machine. There's basically a Desktop PC shaking around in there. I'll probably mention something before the tourney. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the root to alot of the issues with it breaking down.
If it does break down the rest of the brackets will be on Laptop through an HD monitor. Bring your sticks please gents just in case.
Hooray first public SF4 tourney! 8)

Sweet as bro will flick you a txt if I'm heading in. Might be looking after my daughter though.
Me and Nick might come in, pretty early though
GG's hope to see you there =)
Got the all clear from wife 8)
Going in to get blood test, buy chalks and play street fighter, probably be in there 10 - 11:30 or so. Gonna religiously rock the Rose tomorrow, I need to learn and be punished for my mistakes ;D
And in other news, first vid up Finals of Redtie vs Nick4Now.

Cheers Marc for all your efforts and hard work with arranging the tourney. And Damon for the cool prizes and drinks.
Congrats to everyone that attended you all played well. Next time we could see you at the SSFIV Darth if you can make it.
It was good to have something to munch on after the tourney with everyone too.
No worries Nick you still came 2nd. And for me I should of stuck with Blanka verse your gouken not Sagat for that match.
Congrats again to everyone good games. :)
Good games the other day at Timezone Darth. Cool to see your Ken coming along. I pretty much stuck with Rose most of the time but then our Ken mirrors were goodtimes. That 1 hit tag from the Ultra was classic. Really hope you get the chance to play at the Super Tourney. Ken got some awesome buffs so it would be awesome to see the antics in full swing:
http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=227035&p=8618074&viewfull=1#post8618074
That cab is so weird. 5 - 6 freezes in our first game. Then a couple after the reset then sweet as after that. At the tourney it froze once! Interesting to hear the Joysticks have their own power-supply and go through another board that is used possibly for copy protection. So Ironic. ::)
GGs to the CHCH champs Redtie and Nick4Now, was a bit bummed out that I couldn't stay longer, but epic matches as always. Rufus vs Sim was awesome then Guile vs Rose was goodtimes. Did we have one more after that I forget.
Hope you guys still have some games on Friday and that the new blood come down for casuals. I'll be there definitely at the new time of 8pm next week though. Maybe even find you guys on GGPO if my new house's internet connection hooks up easily. ADSL 2+ here I come. ;D
Oh yeah word on the Street for an arcade version of Super SF4, more peeps need to pour cash into the current SF4 machine. It's highly unlikely they can get SSF4 if it's the current 2 cab setup. If it was one cab and therefore cheaper, they might consider it. Currently SF4 doesn't make enough to justify importing 2 boards for the game. :'(
I made this thread on Capcom Unity but go no replies:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/23086421/SSFIV_Arcade_Release_2_Players_on_one_Board._Will_it_be_considered
It got buried under more important thread like:
Japanese names option in SSFIV please! ::)
nice munta .
though theyve said the arcade is a japanese release only , they arent bringing cabs to the states so any ssf4 boards will have to be imported jap versions meaning one board per cabinet .
gay but at least there will be an arcade version out there
Oh yeah that sucked that you couldn't stay longer. We pretty much left after you did. Hah Guile got buffs cool now I can main him again properly. I'll def pop in on Friday see if anyone else from the tourney shows up. Hop on ggpo marc man its been full of all of the crew last couple of nights!
Yeah I was only in for an hour or so, my wife had my eftpos card and I had to head home to take care of baby. Told my wife about ssf4 tourney, will be a go.
GGS Marc even though we barely played lol but yeah we had one more match which was Rufus vs Rose ;D Sucks that you didn't stick around Darth I was hoping to give you another game with Gouken but hopefully I see you at the mashup?
Anyone going in today? I'll probably be in might go abit earlier then 8pm though
went in last night for some games but know one showed up. Had some matches with one of the guys that entered the tourney. Good games.

Sorry man I was planning on coming but I was kidnapped and forced to go to dinner that lasted too long :-[
I'll definitely be there this week, will send out txts as well to catch anyone who doesn't use the forums. I'll probably be a bit rinsed though since I'm drawing some Akuma 3D pavement art outside gamestation to help promote the tourney that day. Be keen to get some longer sets in vs you guys.
Might cruz to mine afterwards and play some 3S and whatever else we can find :) Maybe rock some old school Mortal Kombat 2 again, or even some killer instinct. Be cool to finally see how you are supposed to play that game.
Hope to see you guys there :)
I'll be there 8pm Friday sweet!
^ Awesome :)
Spoke to Andrew and he'll be there too. Be good to catch up with everyone and gets some games in, and some much needed practice for the Super tourney in 2 weeks yikes! :o
Count me in! I think the last time I played SFIV was against you in TZ. lol Been having so much fun with good ol' ST on GGPO I nearly forgot about the SSFIV Tourney :o
Damn. Im gunna do a darthfoxx and probably not show up today. I am trading my 360 for a PS3 tonight so might not be able to make it in. Sorry bros

All good man. Hit me up once you're online.
Feel free to borrow some games next time I see as well. Same goes for you too Nick :)
I've just got Bayonetta and final fight double impact, so I'll probably be rocking those till super comes out.

Add me when you do. I get a good connection with Marc even though I'm in Auckland! psn=geneterror666
Damn I too don't think will be able to make it as I will be with Redtie during the trade. ;D
GGs marc and everyone else today was short but fun! Just listed ps3 games see signature. Its my brothers read the feedback for lol good times. Sweet I'll add you when I get my PSN sorted bro!
Man surprisingly good turn out last night ;D
I got no-can-do txts from Loomie and Damon so I was thinking it would be just me and Andrew. Then some blood, Corey and his mate showed up. Good games guys. Digging the custom Shinryuken t-shirt bro! Will keep you guys in the loop with any SF4 happenings.
Redtie and Nick came down, so did Kim and new challenger Ed.
GGs at Timezone Propafanda. Your Blanka is really sick now. Awesome mixups. Kim what happened?! Your Ken has really improved FADCWTF?!?!?! you put Andy and Redtie on blast, just scraped by with his Sakura awesome match! Cool SF4 games Red and Nick :) Was cool to shoto up a storm for a bit.
Cool HD Remix Sessions too. That didn't get enough time in the sun I reckon. Also the Alpha 3 on the side was goodtimes. Forgot how fun that game can be.
Cheers for coming out gents. Lets get training. We gotta be strong for the online Team tourney vs the Auckland fellas come Release Party!
Oh and still gobsmacked by how awesome that X360 to PS3 trade you hooked up Redtie. That was a crazy good deal! And cool to here Propafanda joining the PS3 army next week. Will hook you up with converter when I see you next bro :)
*cough* Everyone Preorder SSF4 at gamestation *Cough* Cough* ;)
GGS everyone! HD Remix was fun and I'm not too familiar with Alpha 3 but it was cool to play! Can't wait for next mashups we definitely need to train for the Super tourney!
But hey Marc we signed into PSN at Redtie's place using his PS3 with my account to download HD remix and to my suprise I noticed a friend request. Congratulations you're my first PSN friend 8)

Christchurch the PS3 city XD
we are mainly on ps3. Loomie, Damon and a few others rock the 360. None have modded xbox for "super" fun times though I think. At least online will be fun. :) you coming down bro? Or are you missioning it to brad's if so might see you online for the team battle.
See you tonight gentlemen, will probably play there for an hour or 2 and then head to my place. Flick me a txt if wanna know where we are at. So bring your sticks/controllers. :)
I'm kind of in the mood for SF4 and 3S since the Super SF4 release party/tourney is in ONE WEEK! Scott's pretty hype and I'll probably pick him up to join us on the way back through to my place.
It'll be GGs :)
I'll see yous this evening again fellas. This is your last chance Darth, nice absence strategy streaks from you so far lol. Sweet so Scott might join the madness too tonight cool. One week left for Super release! should be good games as usual and good luck to everyone, and have fun. Should be awesome.
I won't be able to make it to TZ at 8pm. I gotta go to a mate's graduation dinner but I'll throw you a txt Marc when I'm free to see whether you guys are still at TZ or mashing it out at your place. :)
Argh!
Nora's got a woman in early labour. Might not be able to make it tonight. Might be done and dusted by 8, or things might not kick off till after 12. It's a 50/50 if I'll be able to make it.
I'll text you guys to see if you're still at Timezone after 8 and I can host at my place.
Really Sorry guys. :(
But play without me level up and have goodtimes.
Don't worry she's go time off for the tourney next week it's all good.
Tourney Info:
The SSF4 order have been set. A few extra copies floating around for the day not huge numbers for each console though. It'll be first come first come first serve. Pre-ordering guarantees you a copy on release day basically. Then pic your copy up and practice all day ;D
Redtie and Propafanda:
Was thinking one main setup with my stick and Redtie's stick and another for Pad vs stick. And we have another for PS3 pad vs PS3 pad. (I hope that's cool guys, I'll cover any damages if sticks get busted, we'll simply kick off people if they are being dicks)
I'll be going to Gamestation between 1 and 4 on Monday to setups for lagg and what not. I should be sweet as but feel free to come if you want. A pic of the setup has been posted in the tourney thread.
Sourced a Mashmaster prize.
Will hopefully catch up tonight to tell you guys some more news.
I will probably just catch a ride with nick on his way back from his graduation dinner to yours Marc. I MIGHT bus into town to play at TZ but probably not.
Sweet yup I'm cool with my stick being used at the tourney
Nice turnout last night guys. All worked out in the end.
GGs Damon
Your akuma improoved heaps over the course of the night. Your zoning got really good kept everyone on their toes. Just need to work on your execution now to capatilise on those demon flips and jump ins. Looking forward to seeing you demon up a storm at the tourney.
GGs loomie
that gen is powerrad. Really cool to see you playing with the ps3 pad and getting fluent in it. Still landing all the upkicks
GGs Propafanda
who are you thinking of maining for the tourney bro. Your blanka mixups might be the way to go I reckon. Gimme a call once you get your PS3 and I'll lend u my copy of 4 once I get my copy of super. Should be tuesday or wednesday.
GGs Nick and Redtie
I wasn't very onto it with my 3S game last night I have trouble switching between games. Your Yun Nick is getting nuts. Even if you miss comboing into genjin you still manage to get in there and do damage. I think we only got a couple of games of sf4 happening redtie.
goodtimes as always though.
Sorry again Kim. We were at tine zone till 9ish then headed to mine since Nora had a woman in labour so I didn't know how long people could stay before they had to get kicked out. Would have sucked if you bused all that way for nothing. Might catch up at timezone this week otherwise at the tourney. :)
even more hype for super now. Our session was helluva fun. Tourneys gonna be sick as. Preorder so you don't miss out. GET HYPE!!!
GGs to everyone was fun again but wish we got there earlier. I am going to put a lot of hours practice for tournament this week
GGs to Everyone as well, it was fun again.
Cpt.Munta Blanka wont be the only one I will probably use for the super tourney. I will look to buy a ps3 by Weds tops. That sounds great for you to lend iv until super I will let you know early in the week.
I will put alot of practice time in this week.
GGS people! Nice to see everyone leveling up! since SSFIV is only around the corner I thought I should share this (http://iplaywinner.com/news/2010/4/23/special-video-tribute-to-street-fighter-iv.html) :'(
Capcom have come to the party with even more prizes! Check the tourney thread for details.
Also will keep you all posted via PMs text and text regarding tomorrow if it's happening, if it does that'll be super
Mashup this week?
I won't be here this week since I'll be in Auckland for their super sf4 tourney (if I win just one game I'll be stoked)
So anyone else feel like hosting? :)
be good to keep the momentum going. Get some third strike and HD remix rocking.
I'm also thinking about nationals and how to get us there representing chch and king of capcom, super sf4, HD remix, third strike. Hopefully gamestation can host, but no money to be made for them without a release. Be around 15 per head and we'll need 10 people entering. Hmmmmm lots to think about.
yup friday matches at 8pm. Yeah I Hope you do good with a few wins at the Auckland ssfiv tournament Marc. The Nationals that would be awesome for us to get amongst the top up there. For Gamestation what kind of release for them to host? Another sfiv series...
Cross your fingers and hope you get me in the first round then munta. Im not looking forward to fighting uberrose in ssf4. Maybe i can trick you with my failkoto.

actually looking forward to the casuals more than the actual tourney :)
So much to learn from peeps that have the new guys down. Gonna be the bomb.
I will try make Friday but man! PSN is so much fun and right in the comfort of my room. Hmmmmm oh yeah! I'm gunna have drinks when I move back in with my gf, kinda like a flat warming near the end of the month BUT now I'm thinking why don't I have drinks AND Street Fighter! I'll keep yous posted. Could get messy.
Yea ill come down on friday prolly around 7ish depends,
Man loving super played like 7hrs straight yesterday muscles could barely pull out a hadouken at the end of it. good shit
Redtie: haha I know what you mean. Having fun in the zone eh. I will join the madness when I get round to it sometime too.
Rafifty: good shit man. Do you play on psn network? probably wont be able to make 7ish. Might be like 8.30-9.
Yea i play on PSN, acc name = Rafifty. Im sure ill still be at tz when u get there anyway so we'll get some games in.
Woot my sanwa parts got shipped today should be getting them soon. Now i just needa know how to get this damn joystick ball off lol.

What kind of stick do you have ? Usually if you can get access to the bottom of the stick (if you have a TE, take the top panel off with an allen key) and then you'll see a screw at the bottom of it - jam a flat head in there and then undo the ball :)
Umm ive got an old white sf4 SE madcatz stick,
I can open it up and all but i reckon the balls like not screwed on properly or it got dropped on something because its kinda on an angle but not in line with the grooves in the thready part becuz its on a slant. Kinda hard to explain without pictures ill retry when my new joystick comes.

I modded the exact same stick. I think we chatted about it at the tourney. Eaaaaaasy mod if you have a sanwa stick with the mounting plate. Otherwise it's time bust out the hacksaw.
Just be really careful with your quick disconnects since they can be on quite tight. Also some of the screws were put in a fucking transformer really tight so be careful not to strip em'
If you need any help with it give me a buzz. :)
Damn might not make it in tonight if i do ill be in at 830ish
GGs last night
Damn nick still got no answer for your gayken lol, ill keep workin on it this week and try surprise you and cheers for that hop ultra trick propafanda gonna mash it up heaps on the weekend

Hahahaha good games bro! Your Blanka is improving really fast! Just learn how to tech throws and my GOUken (I noticed that there was a typo in your post ;D) should be a whole lot easier to deal with instead of eating a very damaging ultra lol
And Good games Andy! You knida caught me off guard there picking Bison. lol Your link combos a looking sweet 8)
On a side note: Good luck Marc! Make CHCH proud! ;D
GG's Nick and Rafifty but me not good enough against your gouken. GG's Rafifty near the end your Blanka was hell tricky.
Until next time.
Marc: The casuals are the fun and easy part but CHCH depends on you now since we're not there ;D Good luck man.
Cool to hear you guys had a rad time at T to the Z. I'll defintely be at the next mashup. Really looking forward to some local casuals. We'll meet at timezone then play some super, third strike and HD remix at mine if guys are keen. Will also txt horst, Corey, kim and crew to see their keen as well.
Flatwarming sf styles sounds mean as. Last time I played street fighter drunk I got punched in the face! Goodtimes :)
Looking forward to mashup this week! If we get a few more numbers, should I bring my ps3 around? I got two sticks now so sweeet! Should be good

2 ps3s! 4 sticks counting Andy's! Fuck yeah!
I'll grab my 2nd monitor off scott maybe run Super SF4 on the big screen, HD Remix on the small screen and 3S on the laptop. Hopefully Horst and the 3S guys can make it.
We'll just see how we are doing for numbers at Timezone first. Oh and am dropping the t-shirts off at Gamestation today. Will txt you guys with a heads up once the are there.
Tshirts! Sweet! You got my new number aye?
Ohhhhhhhhh... does your converter take two ps2 sticks when used on ps3??? Cause its a Soul calibur 2 stick, hasn't even been tested yet cause too poor from buying glasses to get a converter

Welcome to club 4 eyes :D
I think I've got it. I'll txt Nick too so your bases are covered.
I hope you like the shirts they are only Ryu Design since that's all we could get in the end, I hope you guys aren't too underwhelmed when you pick em' up. I think they are pretty sweet and Lenny saw mine at the Event up in Auckland and thought it was pretty sweet.
I've got 2 converters one that Andrew's borrowing and another one exactly the same that I'm borrowing from Scott. I'm sure you could borrow it if I asked him nicely.
If you guys could bring back my Anniversary collection guidebook that would be sweet. Would like to share it with some of the other punters so we are all well versed for our King of Capcom tourney.
Oh sweet!! Oh the book yup! I'll bring it to mashups on Friday bro its been idleing on my desk for ages, damn uni.
Id be pretty keen for some more mashups this week, pm me some details bro.
Also i can bring my SE madcatz ps3 stick if we need but my parts still aint here yet :'( (so no guarantees for up left back jumps heh) hopefully they arrive b4 friday.
edit: sweeeeeeeeet parts arrived this morning gonna try mod it later tonight after uni, watch me make something fucking harder then it really needs to be
I picked up my T-shirt yesterday ;D thanks man!
But yeah I hope more people turn up to mashups this friday. It'll be cool to play 3s and HD Remix against them 8)
Did you RTL get a hold of you marc? He seemed pretty keen to jam with us on Friday.
Good shit Rarfifty, hopefully your mods going all good. Was round at friends house and got to test the soul calibur stick, its quite a good stick! But only tested it out on tekken 5 though. Deifinately worth alot more then I paid for it.
Yea the mod's working sweet so far.
Its made doing shoryukens and stuff way easier, can now start working on my adon more, ill be sure to bring it down tomororow night.

I bought it up in the chat room but he must have missed it. I'll pm him. RideTheLighting is his handle on nzism I think. If you bump into him online. Just Message him my number. Just not in the chatroom lol ;)
Just a heads up. My wife is a midwife so if someone goes into labour I may have to cancel on short notice, depending on the circumstance. We should be sweet as like we are most weeks, since her backup usually covers for her that time. But just an FYI in case shit goes down.
Hmm, was on and off my PS3 lastnight, must've missed it.
Def keen on SSF4, PM'd
Seeyahs tonight. I'll bring ps3 and sticks round to Cpts place
yup I'll see thoughs that are at TZ at 8 first, then Marcs place later good times.
Damn. That. Was. FUN!
Thanks for having us over Marc! 3 Setups and 10 of us jamming was mean! Good times I see us all leveling up together at this rate.
Awesome!
GGs christchurch,
Man big ups to marc for letting us all come over was real mean, hope we werent too loud haha.
Damn keen to start leveling up 3rd strike and HD remix aswell now!
Fuck yeah! :D Awesome turnout!!!
Cheers to Liam for bringing your ps3, extra monitor and Chinese coke. Cheers Redtie for bringing your PS3 and sticks. Cheers Horst for bringing your Dreamcast and Sticks! My bro might have some RCA cables for it if you bring it next week btw. And Andy and Ben for bringing your sticks.
Rocking the DC with 3S was awesome then Hd Remix next door and Super on the end. It was like a Street Fighter history lesson. All the newcomers to HD and 3S were picking it up fast.
Ggs guys. Nora and Maya couldn't hear a thing!
Dunno if we should have Timezone in the mix at the start anymore. Maybe we should just do it for new challengers. That way next week we might be able to start earlier at mine and skip TZ say 9 or so.
If it's warm enough and we have more punters we might move into the garage. I'll see how we go. I'll make sure we have a more organized layout. Move the unused crap into another room.
Can't wait for Friday now! As for the B'Day party Redtie, Do it! Maybe we grab two Drunk scrubs and Pokieman battle! ;)
Great 10 game win streak at TZ Propafanda!
Thanks to all the dudes who brought along their gear, nice to have a bash on some quality sticks, and the dreamcast took me back.
A big thanks to Marc for making all this happen and welcoming us into his home, really appreciated. Might bring some more foreign coke next-time haha.
GGS people! Thanks everyone for providing the gears!
Shot Marc for hosting again and I hope your aniversary goes well tonight ;)
I can join you guys on the 25th of June, which also happens to be my 26th birthday~ Keen for games!

That'll either be the week of the tournament or week after :) it'll be goodtimes :)
Hell yeah GG"s for Mashup on Friday Folks. Cheers to Horst and Liam for providing us with the periphials, monitor ect. Having Dreamcast 3S was mean, cool sticks too. Cheers Captain Marc for letting us mash it out at your crib again man it was fun.
Ok new weekly plan!
Meet at mine each Friday at 9pm
Alot of people feel like skipping the TZ portion which is okay. We'll meet up with new blood at TZ if they wanna get into the scene.
If I'm busy or can't host for whatever reason feel free to use this thread and PMs to get hold of everyone and host somewhere else.
Looking forward to this week. Hope we can get the numbers like last time. Will open up the other lounge next door too since we had no noise complaints last time. :) So bring all the spare gear you can muster, sticks, consoles, drinks, snacks, whatever :D
Let's level up for the tourney!
just wondering is 9pm a little bit late how about 8 or 8.30 at yours Marc? Since mashup usually starts at 8. All good if 9 is better for you and the others.

it's both eariler and later :)
We'd usually be at mine around 9:30 - 10ish anyways. Also making it 9 means it's not a mad rush once maya's in bed. And gives me time to setup etc.
Interesting podcast on srk mentions some interesting stuff on ranbats. Worth a listen. A
monthly 5$ ranbat could be a cool way to level our game up and wim some cash at the end of the year:
http://shoryuken.com/content.php?r=859-Wakeup-Shoryuken-E019-Community-Crossup-featuring-HAV
Hmmmmm Thinking cap ON!
Just to contribute to this... I haven't heard the podcast yet but HAV is a very, VERY smart player. He's pretty much made the Abel forum on SRK the BEST character forum there is, by telling scrubs to shut the fuck up (lol) and encouraging top players to contribute by keeping everything stimulated. Going to listen to this ASAP.
Mean will have a listen when I got time.
Ooooh Fridays gonna be mean. I'll bring some snacks, ps3 and stix. Should be sweet!
All good for friday this week sept i might have to leave a bit earlier. Ill bring my stick again and maybe my ps3(super, hdremix, mvc2, tekken5dr) if we need but ive got no monitor :-\.
p.s the riccarton tz vanilla sf4 is back, if anyones there flip me a txt if im at uni and ill try come down for some games.
I can bring my display again if needed. Usual time sounds fine.
Yip bring all your goodies especially sticks! If you need my address again just pm or text me gonna be awesome. Will send out the txts.
GGs everyone!
Woah that was fun.
Fuck Jackie Chan
HAHAHAHAHAH!
Street fighter 1 and Jackie chan fists of fire were badass :)
hyper fighting was cool and mark of the wolves.
Good times :) bring your 360 and controllers next time horst and we'll rock two super setups and one HD remix and one 3S.
Cheers for bringing your gear guys. Next time we'll finally use that soul calibur stick redtie :)
Will be talking to Gamestation next week. Might have flyers and posters printed by then, If so I'll leave some for you guys to pick up and stick to notice boards around uni and to pass around amoungst friends etc.
Tourney is going to be helluva goodtimes :D

Cheers for the snacks and gear again guys it was fun.
GGS Everyone! Its good to see everyone leveling up!

Ggs everyone I didn't get to play that much :( haha
Everyone looks like they're leveling up which is awesome. Damn shouldn't have shown her that critter crunch game I'm being forced to buy it and I have a feeling its gonna affect my sf playing time.

GGs all,
Cheers redtie for hosting that was sweet, we live pretty close bro should hook up for some secret training sessions in the holidays

Hello mum
We have another new member. Sweet. I think we might have to meet up at timezone this week to sus out the new guys. Then we'll go from there.
Woah Loomie's here! :o what did we do to deserve a post from you ;D
But sorry guys I may not be able to make it to mashups this friday. Gotta look after my sister's place and most likely will be looking after kids... While you guys are playing Street Fighter I'm probably gonna be playing Guitar Hero/Band Hero with them ;D
Oh well, if I don't see you guys on friday then I'll see you guys at the tourney!!

Yeah lol
I reckon meeting at the tournament might work out easier. Otherwise it's a bit of mish heading to timezone then yours, especially since they'll be at the tournament on the weekend and we can give them the lowdown about Friday mashups there.
I'll add your psn tonight EXplicit so we can play online a bit before the tournament Saturday and Sunday. Are you entering? Also you guys can either pay for entry at gamestation or just give me your entry fee when you see me. Gonna be choice!
I agree with the above post
I also agree with meeting at the venue this week.
I've signed in at the GMESTION.
I should re-phrase,
I meant meeting up at Redtie's for mashup as usual on Friday. Just not meeting new players at Timezone on Friday and just meeting them for the first time at the Tournament the next day or day after, whenever they wanna show up :) Just saves going into timezone when we can just meet them the over the weekend with hopefully other new players.
If that's cool of course. ;)
I agree with the above post +1
I agree with the post two above mine
I don't agree with any of the posts above mine, deal with it.
I only disagree with the one post above mine.
Oh did we still want to use my Dreamcast for the tournament?
You guys should try to run 3s for ages! So I can come and play hdr later on covered in mud and grass.

Oh did we still want to use my Dreamcast for the tournament?
Yeah bro if it isn't too much trouble, :)
I've made a post in the tornament annoucement thread about what gear we might need fro
all the guys :)
Gonna try and have an import friendly ps2 there too. The legit Japanese copy of 3S is coming from Wellington on the day. That way, everyone can use a setup stick combo they are happy with. Jade the manager is suppling his legit DC copy as well. I could text you if you like save you from bringing it in if we get the ps2 setup to work.
Most of the gear needs (ps2, ps3s, dc, dc sticks) will only be for the Saturday. Sunday will be alot easier.
You guys can flick me a text or pm if you have any gear realated questions.
Will probably go over alot of this tomorrow at mashups at Redtie's anyways. I'll probably be practicing my HD remix and parring tomorrow night more than anything though ;)

Seeyous all at 8pmish
Heya,
Just thought I'd offer up my place for mashups if RedTie's place isn't available for whatever reason or if CptMunta's is too far off for some people. It's in Ilam. I have 2 monitors with hdmi port. a CRt tv at about 26". xbox 360 with ssfiv and 2 arcade sticks. And Dreamcast with 2 arcade sticks.
Any thoughts?

Alot of the guys might give next week a miss cos of post tourney syndrome and exams kicking everyones ass ;) I'm keen though ATM. I gotta give your dreamcast back to you anyways. You guys played JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on DC? We could Bust that out.
Hi to a the guys we meet on the weekend. Feel free to say hi and introduce yourselves :) Also EXplict and Hasty we missed you at the tourney but can meet up for games at timezone if you guys want sometime just shoot us a pm :)
Orochi Leona is coming down from welly in a couple of weeks for some games. So feel free to get your KOF/SNK capps on. We could fully bust out some more obscure titles when he's down for his birthday.
Tattoo Assasians And Street Fighter the movie game for the win ;)
Yeah Redtie and I probably won't be able to make it to this week's mashup since its our Grandfather's 80th Birthday on Saturday and we got a lot of our cousins coming from Australia on Friday. We'll be catching up with the fams and probably gonna be drunk for at least 24+ hours ;D
But I should be able to make it the next mashups though. I'm gonna be refreshing my memory as to how to play KOF (mainly 98 & XI)so I can be at least a little bit of a challenge for our outside challenger :P
I'll try make mashups this week too. Probably won't but will see what happens.
Ohhhh and who's got my stick? hahah I'll come pick it up sometime tomorrow.
i've got both the HRAP3 and SoulCal2 Stick ;D I can drop them off to Leaoa if you want and you can grab it off him when you go visit them again
Soz boys cant make mashups this week due to uni but i should be good after next thurs, YAY holidays!
Hey guys sorry me and dad ( hastyonekillz ) couldnt show up to the tourney or on friday , add me on my new psn account .
taktikz96
cheers guys . ;D
Me Scott and Andy are keen for this week. Who else is keen? Will have to grab those movie files off you loomie so I can pimp em up for YouTube uploading :)
we should have a VS series themed mashup sometime since some of you guys are picking up the game and cos of marvel 3. Maybe get marvel 2 rocking on the big screen in high def 1080p action. Also I could hire a wii with TVC. Anyone got game cube controllers, or even better convertors?
Will start a ranking battle suggestion thread to get you guys' input on how we should do it. Maybe start it up early July.
unfortunately guy's it seems i have registered at a busy time of year when i have alot of stuff going on and im not to sure when im gonna be able to catch up with with you guys at a mash up, but none the less il be on regularly on psn so will catch yas on there for now and for atleast the next couple of week's, how'd regional's go btw?
heya. I have a Wii with just one classic controller. I think i have tatsu downloaded somewhere.. or not.. depending on whether we're okay with that.

All good bro :)
Feel free to touch base when your free for casuals once things have died down. We can get some mic training sessions happening too once I have time to go online. Strangely Friday night mashup has been the only time bar regionals that I've had time to even play super lol. Should be free to start team battles soon though hopefully :)
Write up and comments about regionals are here:

Sweet :)
Is it the US version with all the extra characters? I think someone at mashup still has a gamcube and controllers, might have been Darth though who hasn't been around for a bit.
Also for those who may have missed it. Mashup at Horst's this week txt you all the details :) so far just me Propafanda and Scott are cruzin along. Feel free to pm me if your coming. I'll bring my ps3 stick and monitor speakers.
You rocking Neo Geo BC on your xbox horst? I've never played it and was wondering what it's like. Gotta be better than capcom fighting jam.

It's a really good game, I'm actually REALLY jealous of the 360 guys on this one. Would be nice if PSN got it eventually. Even if I'd prefer KOF98:UM or KOF2K2:UM.
AFAIK no-one on 360 here even has it...
I dled the demo but don't really know what I'm doing. It has Haomaru, Genjyuro, some girl that attacks with tetris blocks, and some other dude who I don't know

We'll rock Super SF4 as usual but may rock more emu on the monitor. Get some 3rd Strike, JoJos, KOF happening. Oh and Ben bring KOF 12 if you can :)
We can also sort out how we wanna handle ranbats as well. Be good to get games in :D
Woot only 1 exam to go,
Looking forward to mashups this week. Yipyip ill make sure to bring kof12 with me this time, also a good mate of mine thats been playing my old vanilla sf4 since super came out might come if thats cool.
I think I can make mashups this week. Gfs lil bro flies in on Sat morning.
I'll bring gear and stuff.
Shall we rock tvc this week? just need 2 gamecube controllers or two classic controllers or one of each. If I can source some controllers before this evening I'll rent a wii and the game.
TvC Ryu>all other Ryus ;)
Maybe we could rock some mvc2, HDR and even mk2 as well. E3's got me hype for new games :)
We'll probably still have the big setup rocking super. Gotta go hard, make sure you guys get plenty off local offline comp before nationals :D
Does anyone have GC pads? lol but cool I was contemplating whether or not I should come since I wasn't feeling to good earlier this week but I'v decided that I can make it tonight :)
As for games, I think I'll be happy with any although I feel that we should get in some SSF4 cause it's been so long since I last played it (fuckn nzpost!). lol
Anyways see you guys tonight!
Good games tonight gentlemen! :)
Cool to catch up with you all only been two weeks but it's seemed like ages since we've all played fighting game casuals.
Cool to see JoJo's, Rival Schools, CvS2, KOF12 and 3rd Strike get some action. You guys picked up jojo's pretty fast. Was some cool matches in there. We'll get some games in next week of marvel maybe and hopefully some tvc as well.
Awesome ssf4 matches nick. Honda and bison matches were tense as :) Cool to hear you guys enthusiasm for nationals.
Cheers for the footage Loomie, I'll grab the raw files next time. Maybe make a chch scene promo vid or something.
Had heaps of fun guys thanks for coming. I should have all my plans for ranbats sorted for next week and we'll start the week after maybe. Really looking forward to more time with Super Sf4
Sounds like yous had fun!
Sorry we were busy cleaning house lastnight and getting ready for gfs lil bro to come round. Wohoo we got a wii now!
;D
Nick, I'll come drop off super to you today before league. 12ish?
GGS everyone!
Damn I miss playing SSFIV its been too long lol. Yeah they were some intense matches! Had some close matches with our mains. lol GGS to Loomie, Scott and Rafifty as well!
Jojos, 3s, KOFXII & CvS2 was fun too. I'm pretty keen on leveling up for those games ;D
Damn I only got your message, Are you gonna be around the area again today? If not all good, I can come around about 9ish to pick it up if you guys are free
good to hear some kof, jojo's and cvs was happening.
It was my fathers birthaday, it was quite a good evening catch yous up next week probably.
Oh true! Damn can you come any earlier? Cause I got a drinks to go to tanite
I got the guile costume pack! mean
How much earlier? or If you want you can leave it in your mailbox and I'll come and grab it. I doubt there's people around that area who would even think about stealing ;D
Hahah ok sweet I'll do that!
I'll leave it in there before we leave. Its the bottom mail box k
Wait cause leaoa might be coming over so I could just give it to him to give to you
OOOoooooo snap! Just realized my band has gig at the Wunderbar this Friday, yikes! :o So I sadly can't host since we start playing at midnight so I'll have to bail around 11!
Scott will host (which is awesome, since he lives walking distance from the central city) but also wants to come to the gig so we'd be kicking everyone out at around 11. Unless someone else can host, that would be a big help since then people could probably play longer. :)
So at the moment: Scott's at 8 till 11 will txt and pm the address unless something better comes up ;)
anybody in chch i can organize to play against before friday? i'm killing myself out of boredom here~
Oh man would have you round but busy as atm. I can't bring my ps3 this week. Just stick cause gfs lil bro playing mw2
I'm only in chch until monday, i've got my whole 360 setup with 2 sticks down here, ssf4/blazblue/various arcade fighters

No worries man :) I can bring my laptop as well. Dunno if chained is coming so might just leave his dc behind. We can run jojo and 3rd strike on emu if need be.

Don't worry about bringing your entire setup tomorrow. I'm just thinking about packing up and it's probably easier if me and Scott provide the gear. Just bring your sticks people :)
We'll have his 42" and my monitor. If someone else wants to bring their monitor that would be cool but not essential.
See you guys tomorrow at 8. Looking forward to it :)
any jam on nxt weds nite ?
probably not but i think its worth an ask ahahah i will be at chch for work nxt weds, flying out on thurs lol i could leave behind my work laptop and carry a ps3 stick if i hve to ahahah

Good call about the ds I'll put it in my bag now so I don't forget.
Sorry Pjai I have band practice Wednesday night. Otherwise I'd have been hella keen.
Sorry guys won't be able to make it to tonight's mashups :-\
But hey Salio can you take your HDD over so you can grab Jojo's off Marc? ;D
Thanks for the games, gentlemen.
Keen for xmas mashups and see you at nats~
Good Games last night guys, was great to unwind with some Street Fighter after a long busy week :D
Some really cool matches in there.
I was really struggling with the Mak vs Adon match Raf. Always down to the wire and I always guessed wrong under pressure.
Cool to fight your Vega again Redtie some really cool matches, also that match vs fei was badass. I fully recommend you enter Super, you can fully hold your own with the rest of NZ and it'll be cool for Loomie and Nick to have a fellow player throwing down CHCH style in the tourney too. Cheers again for the lend of the DS. Viewtiful Joe was badass! They need to make more of those games :)
Cool to see you rocking Viper's "Boss" outfit Orochi ;) Have you still got your PS3? We should get some Co-op Peace Walker games happening via Adhoc Play. That game is godlike. Maybe tackle some of the harder missions. Cheers for coming bro, was good to catch up :)
Good games Andy, Cheers for coming to the gig and co driving with Scott to avoid the cops since I'm still on my restricted lol. Left turn away from the checkpoint only to find another undercover cop down the side street. Luckily he'd already caught some poor bastard who tried the same trick so we could speed off unscathed. lol
GGs Loomie and co.
Good to see you guys keeping it real on the pad setup. Was fun giving your friend lessons. He's most welcome to come next week as well. Cheers to my bro for hosting. Oh and Q is still the king of the Random DP. ;)
Only 2 or 1 more mashup/s before I'm away.
Would be cool to grab those PS2 converters back off you guys next time I see you. You can grab em' dirt cheap of Trade Me for around $10 or so. Or you can go crazy hard out and pick you the proven Laggless ones. Also any other gear I may have forgotten about.
Chained I've still got your Dreamcast. Be cool to be able to drop it back to you somehow or catch up next mashup and give it to you then. Maybe get some games in even :)
Cheers for coming out guys. I'll host next week unless someone else is keen to host instead. We'll make 8:30 again if that's cool. Hope to see yas then.
GGs everyone!
Was awesome to catch up with everyone
Nice meeting you Fang, would have been cool to play some other games other than super against you.
I guess I will enter super aswell as hdr then heh, hope your band went sweet! Me and ben came back and played mw2 hahah bens a fucking pro at it!
Nick, read your message too late sorry was already omw there.
Shot
GGs all short and sweet.
Cheers for hosting scott and it was nice to meet u orochi cool viper/mak. lol redties lies first time playing mw2 but its pretty much the same as the other cods.

http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/PS3/Rugby-League-Live/7386302/

CptMunta those cops were close....but we made it away and got to the wonder bar in good time for your gig which was a pleasure to see since the other gig I seen..
good to catch up with some games again fang since the kof eleven and 99 days at TZ.
Mash up is at mine this week, 8:30 on Friday. 2nd to last one I can make it to for a couple o' months. If your guys can bring those convertors that would be badass. Hope to catch up some battles :)
Bloody cold at chch :/
How long you here for? Come watch origin and some drinks if your keen bro
;D
Nick, come round to mum and dads after work. Sweet!
flying back at noon today :<
would be keen as to show up in your weekly jams
I can't make tomorrow night. People coming round sorry boys
Ggs last guys, small turnout since we were down 4 people, but fun all the same :)
Was cool to catch up Chained. Cheers for bringing you xbox360 and sticks. TEs are nice, awesome custom job on that hori. Was cool to get some more mak practice in.
Warning. Give Loomie an xbox pad to play with and it's all over. Awesome win streak with ryu bro.
Last mashup for me in a long while next week. I'll host unless anyone else is keen to. Should be fun as. Gonna finally hire that wii with tvc, bring gamecube and classic controllers if you have em.
Any of you guys watching the EVO stream this weekend? I'm imagining that the Sunday finals will on
our Monday though.
I forgot to mention that Johnno dropped off the raw files from the King of Capcom Tourney. So bring your Hard Drives round if you want em'. Otherwise I'll be posting them on Youtube when I have time. :)
Thanks again for hosting Marc! And thank you Chained for bringing your xbox haha, we got some good games in. Sweet now I have some good movie names to download / steal off scott next time :D
Just a reminder about Friday nights mashup:
Don't eat too epic a dinner. Chained works for dominos and is bringing PIZZAS! Yum! so txt or post what flavours you guys are after.
Also this time for sure bring classic controllers and gamecube controllers since I'll have tvc there. We have one classic controller coming already so just need one more.
Be cool to have one last jam with the chch crew before my street fighter fasting session. Hope to see you guys there :D
Mmmmm pizzas! I'll definately be coming to see you out Marc!
See yous on Friday!
Sweet i can make mashups this week looking forward to it.
Dont know if i can get a hold of a controller though :-\
Ill see yous all friday.
Yeah... Jono's insane with a pad. And Yep I'll bring my classic controller and 360 again. Any of you's still wanna play Third Strike or Jojo on DC? How many pizzas do you reckon we'll want?
And who else watched EVO? GamerBee's Adon was quite something aye. And sure was lame when the stream failed at the grand finals. I mean they uploaded it later but you already know who won and I just didnt care anymore by that point.
^i'm guess between 5 and 10 peeps max just bring as many freebies you can muster without getting fired ;) but seriously just bring what you can and I can sort you out
Some cash if things get hairy. Just txt me if you need an idea of numbers :)
Yeah the xbox would be mint for people to get some time on a TE stick before nationals :) we'll just rock jojo's and 3rd strike on laptop if it's too much of a mish.
Yeah gamerbee vs mike Ross was one of my favorite matches. Were all chatting about in the EVO thread. Amazing matches, really varied top 8
Yeeaahh I like Pizza ;D
But yeah i should be able to make it tomorrow, as for evo I'm still laughing at Jwong hahaha Seriously I don't know what he was doing half the time. Random Ultras from 3/4 of the screen? c'mon even a scrub wouldn't fall for that.
Im down with the DC SF3S and jojo chained and dominos cheers man for this
if anyone has a pc controller bring it along thats if you've played negeo kof on pad before.
Salio can you remember to bring Losa's PS2 pad? Oh and my PS3 pad if you guys aren't using it
That reminds me. If nick and Andy could bring those convertors that be awesome. Also Andy if you could bring GTA4 as well. Raf I've gotta give your ff13 guide back to you as well.
I got the wii if anyone has an SD card can transfer a save that unlocks all the characters and alt colours to the wii.
Damon is coming as well so that'll be rad to catch up with that guy too. Catch you guys tonight :)
just a reminder need one more extra pc controller for kof neogeo on laptop for two player verses. If not I'll still bring it along
And yep I'll bring all of your belongings back mark the GTA4 and the converter. See everyone tonight.

Big thanks to Chained for bringing xbox 360 with sticks, dc with sticks and pizzas :D
Was cool to catch up with you all and get games in 3S tvc cvs2 super were all ggs.

I'll have to pm you closer to my trip to japan Ben for some general must sees in and around Tokyo.
Nick and redtie always a pleasure guys. Really cool matches had fun busting out my sim and learnt alot from our matches. You fei is sick redtie I always forgot about he counter ultra. Your Seth is getting sick Nick. All the best for nationals bro, rock that Juri.
Good games Loomie, had to get my Cody revenge bro your Cody is way tighter than mine. You should watch that sabre proof of concept vid again on YouTube goodtimes.

Last one was fun!Welcome for the pizza guys.
How do we feel about a mashup this week? Too soon? I'll host?
never too soon sounds good man pm us your address so we know where to go and time for this weeks mashup should be good.
Just sent out a PM to folks (atleast i think i have). I'm not really sure if I've missed anyone though. Particularly those I'm not sure if I've met in person yet so ah... yeah ha. Tell me if you haven't gotten anything.
Put me down as a yes if we get the numbers, ill be able to bring my ps3 aswell ;D
If nick goes I'll catch a ride with him. I'll bring ps3 stick
Ben you sad cunt hahah
I'll most likely be able to make it but for some reason I have a feeling that I've got something on Friday but just can't remember... ??? Hahaha
Awesome to see that we can still have a mashup even though Marc won't be around to organise. Shot Marc for all the shit you've done for the SF Community here in CHCH 8)
Agreed! Thanks Marc for organizing all these gatherings and hooking me up with all you awesome buggers! God I was tired of losing out to lag on Live.
Think you said you didn't want to host the week before you leave but maybe you can still attend if someone else hosts?
Cheers for the compliments guys :) hats off to you guts for coming to the mash ups and tourneys. Glad we have such a cool scene. I'm surprised how quickly it's grown and it's bound to keep growing I reckon :)
As much as I would love attend. It's pretty much a no can do at this stage :( we've still got heaps of packing and cleaning to do on Friday evening before we take off. Otherwise I'd be there with bells on.
I'm sure Andy and johnno will be keen too. Especially since he can unleash his pad fury again ;) I can pm you his cell if you want.
I've heard from mjt that the Dunedin tournaments are pretty good and am thinking of planning a road trip down there around end of October if anyones keen.
Also hooking up with some German players in hamburg when I'm over there for casuals which will be fun. Hopefully that way I can at least get a bit of practice in.
Cheers for the lend of the wii classic controller bro tvc is waaaaaay better with it :)
I'll be there chained!!
ok see thoughs there
If anyone is passing through the town area after woulds, any chance of a lift back? mch appretiated.

If weazzy, smoof or birry wong shows up. I will do another yardie, of whatever you's decide to put into it
All the bark with your blood on it.
Done.
Shot Horst and Harrison for coming around last night! That was meeean! Playing HF while drunk = Goodtimes. Definitely need to do it again :D
Halo was cool too, none of us knew how to play hahahaha I got your back Anus ;D
BTW Horst I found the Mak player that I was telling you about last night. It's Flash Metroid.
I would post up his other matches but I'm sure you can youtube yourself ;D
Holy shit! Last night was meaaaaaaan!! Shot Horst and Harrison for coming hahahaha good times! WHERE WAS LOOMIE AND BEN!
I'll upload some pix, System link Halo 3 was meannnnn! 4v4. Who came up with all the names on Halo 3 hahaha Anus
LOL, happy birthday man, sounds like you's had an epic night. Good to know someone else around here knows how to get wasted.
Happy B' Day Redtie and Horst! I was there in Spirit or Spirits as the case may seem. WIll update you fellas on the german SF scene once I get a spare moment ;D
My bads man was sick all week with the flu and missed yours and my mate eugenes 21sts in the weekend lol guttered. sounds like yous had a sweet time anyway.
Sooooo... maybe we should have a mashup night before out Nats players fly out?
I'm keen if anyone is willing to host. The only way I can practice since I got the YLOD :-\
If anyone's keen on trying a DIY I can bring my ps3 lol
Man anyone else got exams this week? fucking gayed, anyways gl at nats bro
I got one exam Thursday, and two assignments due before the week ends. Keen to drink next week? Thinking about having something during the holidays. And of course SF
It's 5:18am in Berlin and I'm up with a baby that's not sleeping. Thought I'd touch base :) so who's going to nationals? Just Nick4Now? Or is Loomie doing the mish too. Looking forward to seeing how it's going.
Decided to check out the local sf scene in each city/country I go to and make a small doco/travel log of what each scene is like. So far been at mashups in Hamburg and Berlin. They have the best 3S, ST and CvS2 players in the country there. They are all about the old school. Some good players of Super sf4 in both citys though.
Off to Amsterdam next to enter their big ND3 tournament. 80 man Super SF4 tournament. Also has Super Turbo sife tourney as well. Should be fun with little to no practice lol :)
Then to London 2 weeks after Super Vs Battle to cover their scene which is apparently pretty huge at the moment. Going to "Winner stays on" their weekly tournament hopefully might get to get schooled by Ryan Hart, goodtimes.
Then Japan. Don't know anybody there. Need to know the best arcades to go to in Akihabara and Tokyo in general. I wanna meet up with some locals for offline console battles but it's unlikely to happen, especially since I'm guessing it's online, arcade or tournaments and nothing in-between.
Cool to hear mashups have been happening. Be cool to catch up with you all when I get back. And I'll start planning the next event :D
I dunno if anyone is coming wtih me but I was hoping someone would :( lol
But anyways I hope the trip is going well, you gotta let us know how the scene is at all the places your visiting. It'll be an interesting read :) Good luck for the tourney bro!
Nice bro, sounds like you are ripping it up like a true world warrior!
Would be awesome if you could find some people to play with in Japan too.
Keep us posted!
Too much on for me this weekend so can't go :( hope both of your guys tournys go well! good luck!!

You need to go to BIG BOX in Shinjuku. From memory, you need to get on the Yamanote line and get off at Takanobaba and BIG BOX is right outside (blue building, you can't miss it). Go to the Taito game station. All the beasts play there. I think you can also catch the light blue subway line as well but I can't remember what it is called.
Anybody keen for a few games tonight? My place? 9ish?
Txt 0210456298 to confirm plz
Damn didnt see the message in time.
Still got 3 stupid exams left havent played street fighter in ages :'(
Shot Horst for hosting again! GGs to everyone.
Loomie's Ken is a fricken beast!
I will be in CHCH on friday night. First time in the south island. It'd be great to have a few games when I'm there.
are you guys still having regular meet ups? is it at the arcade?
Oh also, does anybody have any idea if there is anything that goes on in Queenstown SF4-wise?
Cheers Horst for hosting once again, was fun :D GGs everyone!
Not many meetups anymore at the arcade as far as I know Filter, and I don't know about Queenstown either so can't help you there sorry =\
Hope you guys are all good following the quake. Are your TE's ok?
Yeah guys, hope everyone down there and their families are okay.
Report in Christchurchers!!
They cant. Theres no power.
Yeah power is out in Christchurch at the moment. Most of the damage was to old masonry structures that hasn't been retrofitted for seismic design standards, I don't imagine there will be any damage to anyone in a timber framed house as long as they don't have a really heavy tile roof or a brick chimney.
Apparently there is damage to the hospital, thats a pretty bad look for whoever is in charge of that.
Man last night was crazy just got power back hope water comes soon. still havent slept yet, aftershocks are annoying as fuck, not much damage for me here we got pretty lucky some roofs are fucked down our street from chimneys crushing. Hope the rest of u fullas are all good.
Was upstairs when it happened. Still awake house started shaking. Woke gf out and GTFO. Went to check on neighbours algood, some mother fuckers started looting people. Walked around the block smelt fire asking people if they were algood. Had no power or anything for ages got power at maybe 12 today. Luckily the Jack daniels silver select didn't fall onto the ground phew
Hoon Hay seems to have suffered minimal damage which is good. We didn't get power until 6pm though :-\ I drove around everywhere to buy C batteries for the radio and they were sold out every where!
Hope everyone else is all good, I saw on the news a lot of people weren't so lucky... Also sorry Filter been busy this week with Family visiting from Aux so really got no time for mashups :-[
The one time I go to Christchurch and there's a fuckin earthquake.
Was hard out too. Beat the shit out of Wellington earthquakes.
Glad everyone is okay and that it happened late at night so that no one got squashed in Cafe's.
No worries Nick, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it anyway. Had to rush from place to place too much. I did go and play at Timezone tho. It's a really nice one. I like how Street fighter and Tekken are up on a little platform thing.
It was weird tho coz there was about a dozen retards hanging around the shitty punching game, lining up to whack it.

Hate to say it man but when the big one goes off in Wellington it's going to be way worse than this :(
Yeah I thought that as I typed it. If there was a big earthquake in wellington, a lot of houses would be sliding down hills.

Was there actually loot potential? I mean was houses actually fucked and abandoned or were people like is this your house? Oh man it got fucked up, oh well *start grabbing there shit" thank you, good luck :) lol

Hahahaha yeah those guys like to feel good about getting a high score thinking they know to punch without realising
anyone can get in the 9000s. As for the Street Fighter scene, it sucks. Noone touches it at all. So jealous of Yifians, Aux may get scrubs from time to time with long ass winning streaks but hey at least you guys have players. For me to get a 3 win streak in TZ is long just because getting challenged 3 times before reaching Seth is a fricken achievement!
As for the Tekken scene we've got a decent amount of players I think. The only problem is is that most of the regulars aren't very good. Especially compared to the guys who used to always rock up to TZ around the Tekken 5 era. I've barely played Tekken 6 and haven't learnt any new juggles since T5 or any of Ling Xiaoyu's new moves and I can still kick most of these people's asses. I wasn't even one of the best of chch back then either ;D
Yeah i got like 9980 or something for just punching the thing at the back that the thing flies into lol. Done this mean as uppercut on that shit and owned it. After that i felt like i can fuck up anybody.
i punched that and broke my knuckles in high school
wot a tough cunt aye
white power hahaha
yeah 3 people came and played tekken while I played SF4. I guess they weren't very good. I don't know about Tekken tho.
As for the looting, the news said that the initial reports of looting were false. It seemed chill as fuck when I went and had a look.
I was putting the news to air at the time. There WAS looting according to the police, but it was like 2 people thinking they were bad, The police stopped that shit within like 5-10 minutes.
Also, this quake was the same size as the one in haiti. Fucking Haiti needs to take a page from christchurch's book and harden the fuck up. Mass death? lol. Bitches.
Haiti was actually less magnitude that CHCH, but they don't have the knowledge/money to build stuff like we do these days!
Finish Haiti off imo.
Fark i always dream about a massive disaster happening, so i can loot all the shit i want.
LOl doesn't dream of actually making money or winning lotto or something more better ay lol, just realised. It's just better robbing shit. From shops of course not people trapped under houses or some shit.
I heard about it from a txt from a friend when I was in London having dinner. I freaked a bit. Yahheee for internet for telling me no one got hurt too bad.
The travel log is going well. Only one more destination: JAPAN!
Hoping to meet up with Scott Popular and the Japanese Final Round peeps.
I did pretty well in the Dutch SSF4 tourney. over 100 players :) Fought my way out of pools and got knocked into losers after going toe to toe 1-2 with one of the best Ryu in the country. bet a few dudes only to go up against I Bison which placed third last time. Lots of Bisons over there. also a 50/50 split between pad and stick. Oh and a sick Abel took out the Tourney, yes U2 again ;)
I also entered a tourney in london. Only 2 people out of 6 or 7 groups of 7-8 man pools making it out to the actual tourney. Did okay was buggered so didn't do my best. I usually destroyed them first set then close second, then they destroyed me back ;D They download antics fast over there. Got some nice interviews. Interviewed a capcom europe programmer. Really nice guy had heaps of chats that we couldn't get on tape since it would put him in the shit. Also Ryan Hart was there. Really nice guy. Everyone was interested in the NZ scene. People all over Europe have heard legends of how great our 3S players are BTW. They bring it up quite often, go kiwi ;D Also Bill a fellow fuerte player in UK now knows the legend of Birry Wong!
Hopefully will have a preview up soon. Would love to grab some interviews and footage of our scene and NZ in general when I get back, hopefully at a mashup. Maybe I'll Skype lenny or flux for some yarns as well.
lol, awesome stuff marc :)
Hope all your chch friends + assets are ok!
BIRRY WONG - International Celebrity.
Shot Marc! Sounds like it was an awesome experience :)
Was Ryan Hart playing T.Hawk?? 8)

Indeed he was. Neutral jumping HK comboed into standing HK does stupid good damage. He did really well but got peaced out near the finals. I hear this week he did well but switched it to Sagat/Ryu to take the final.
Man what a crazy month, anyone elses uni mid terms get cancelled? what a big ass waste of time studying lol now ive lost my fadc muscles :'(
We've had 4 weeks holiday. Man I think I'm gunna start getting back into studying on Saturday hah. I bought another 40inch a couple of days ago for the hell of it. I got some people coming round for drinks and games on Friday, you's keen?
I really hope u guys are all well and safe, after what has happened in chch it really sad to see that things like ur gatherings and studies/ work are cancelled.
All in all, I wish you guys can recover from teh damage and get back to your normal lives again.

I'll host this week if no one else wants too. Friday or Saturday don't mind. I've got an xbox, no sticks though or Super (I got HDR though). 2 x 42inch TV's for set-ups. Haven't played Super for a few months now so I will be Free Play. We could even do something different for a change like 4v4 Halo: Reach or 3v3 Starcraft 2 ;D
If you's are keen to have it here, bring gear please!
Let's keep this scene alive

I'll be back and keen as for Saturday gotta ask the mrs though as we'll be pretty jetlagged.
If I can make it I'll bring my monitor, ps3, se and te sticks, new laptop and two pads. If not next Saturday definitely! Keen to catch up. :D
Sweet! Ok have we decided Saturday or Friday? If everyone can make Friday we should make it then so Nick can make it. Munta are you back by Friday? Can anyone not make Friday?
Everyone confirm by tonight please
I can make it on Friday but not Saturday
I probably won't make it Friday or Saturday now realistically. I forgot about time difference. Next week I'm dead keen though!
Can make both days
So far looking like Friday. Sucks you can't make it Munta, OH! Where did you hire out TvC? I just soft modded our wii and was looking for a copy of it to save to the HDD.
Is mashups tonight? what time we gonna start?
Yup tonight! Maybe around 730ish?
Cyas tonight, r u still close to me at that hamilton street place?
Yeah bro! Same place. I still got your enchanted too
edit: Got TvC, and about to go pick up some converters to use PS2 controllers.
Cheers for hosting redtie, and thanks for all the food as well you didn't have to do that!
Mashup this week I'm keen as :) who's hosting and what day? I'm can host as well if people don't mind doing the mish.
I got laptop with wii emu for tvc, ps3 monitor te and se sticks
I don't mind where mashups will be but I'm looking forward to hearing how your trip was :) it'll be good to get in some games with you too since it's been a long time lol
I'll be keen, who's hosting? Be good to catch up with you Marc
I could host, but lost my phone somewhere ??? txt me fellas and I'll have everyones numbers again.
Maybe it's better someone else hosts till I get my finger back on the pulse. If all else fails my place is sweet as Friday, Saturday or Sunday night. Be aware of the birth factor though ;)
I cant make neither friday, saturday or sunday as i do night shifts. I would be keen to host one of these days when I have work off, I would let you all know when time to arrange it. Though you will have to bring along most of your gears like consoles and sticks ect and screens. Sad but i had to let my ps3 go as the interest was to high to pay off in the end all good I will get another one when tjhe time is right.
Sorry I just remembered I can't make it this Friday too :-\
Right o. Saturday then maybe? Or we can save it a week. I'm dead keen for some casuals though. I forgot how I don't dig offline as much.
Andrew, you loosing your ps3 really sucks bro. Hope to catch up sometime soon. Might pm the rest of the troops to get their cell numbers.
Saturdays cool for me, pretty keen to catch up
@andy, sucks u lost your ps3 bro im sure ull get another one later on when shit settles.
Right o I'll host :D
My place at 8:30 Saturday. Loomie is keen as well. I'll txt the guys I have the numbers for if you can forward to chained and redtie just in case that would be awesome. I'll have my ps3 two sticks also my laptop with pc blazblue cs and tvc with nubytech pads.
Nick if you could bring that ps2 stick that would be rad also ff13 if your finished with it. If anyone has a spare official x360 wired controller they aren't using I'd be keen to borrow it. Playing dead rising 2 on pc and it six a bit with mouse and keyboard :)
Bring your snacks and goodies and I'll see you fellas at 8:30 be good to catch up :D
Redtie has the stick right now but sweet I'll bring FF13 over :) I'm real keen to get in some games with you too since it's been so long. During our set with Skullator (Had a fucking mean 1 on 1 set though!) I was hoping you would win so that i could play you but it ended up being your last game for the night :-\
Sweet as. Keen for Saturday, yeap I'll bring the stick round for you. See you's then!
CptMunta, do u have space for a 360 on saturday? would make me and probably Loomie happy lol. Im useless without my TE ha...
Jus txt you bro. Absolutely :) loomie is bringing a spare tv since my brother has still got my monitor.

Great to catch up guys :)
Marvel was awesome. It's awesome to play someone At the same level as in beginner. Fighter layer was fun. Darkstalkers was cool though nick owned us all. :D tvc, 3rd strike, Blazblue and even street fighter the movie game.
Oh and super sf4 ;)
Sorry you didn't get any pad power games in loomie. Next week hopefully :) Als
I'm thinking of starting up ranking battles for super every 2nd week. Will post up a thread about. Feel free to post your thoughts in it. Won't start up for a few weeks though.
Remember to bring your external hard drives and stuff. And Ben a lend of red dead would be primo.
Looking forward to next week :)
GGs boys! Fighting Layer is strange! Yeah you can thank Scribble for leveling up my VS game but I still have a lot to learn lol
Yeah you Mahvel pros need to teach us, maybe a beginner's guide? I only know simple air combo shit from XvSF :-\
Ranbats here in chch would be awesome, hopefully it'll help our scene grow even more :)

Starting up a Chch ranbats sounds like a mean idea. It'd be interesting to check out the ongoing results as you get new people attending and everyone levels up.
Hmmm I don't think I can make it this week. GF birthday and uni end of year party thing too. Will definitely try to though
Hey peps since I have 3 days off work tues, weds and thurs I thought I could host for mashup at my place during the week, though yous will also have a mash up on the weekend as usual. if anyone is keen on one of those days sweet as give me a txt 0220261551 for details.
Hmmm I think I'll only be able to make it on Wednesday... As for Friday and Saturday I'm 90% sure I'm gonna be busy. I'll let you guys know soon if I can make it or not.
Argh and on Wednesday I've got Band Practice.
If all else fails Andrew just come round on Thursday night for some games and catch ups. Will clear with the mrs. :) Scott's still got my monitor and is away so all my shit isn't all that portable sadly :(
Since most us are busy this weekend and Andrews free Thursday. How about Thursday night for mashups instead? Will send out the txts
I think Thursday is good for me if its during the night, got no phone at the moment.

Damn.
Sorry can't make it this week, got work then 21st to go to tomorrow, next week for sure though!
Will be at mines. See you guys then :)
Yeah the screws are a pain in the arse. I should have warned you in advance sorry bro. But 500MB! Bring your ps3 tomorrow and steal some goodies off me. And bring Read Dead if that's cool. I've got Modnation Racer Little Big Planet Uncharted 2 GTA4 FF13 and Bayonetta which I need to pinch back from my brother.
Way off topic but does anyone want to go up for the tourney? Really considering going since I missed Nats this year. Be cool to get a group of us unless we are doing some sort of tourney?
Man these screws just wont come out grrrr,
yea ill bring red dead along, i dont know if i can go up for the tourney ill have to see after exams
It'll be good, just fly up in the morning and then fly back at night.
Really considering this but will be cool if we get a bunch of us flying up. Come on. You know you's want too.
Man i hope i can make the xmas tourney! Would be awesome if you came redtie! I kinda missed out meeting Nick at Nats cause
i didn't really know anyone but Lenny then.

It would be my suggestion that you stay over the night at least. We tendd to go hard for aaaages playing and go for a decent meal together as well. Not to mention that tourney's have a tendency to go over time.
Arguably the best thing about the events is shooting the breeze afterwards, worth staying if you can.

I can feel the LOVE! Ok well someone has to come with me just in case these North Island dudes get hostile. But yeah real keen on this! Fuck uni's a bitch and this would be a cool little get away. But yeah would be cool to meet all you guys
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!!! (Hopefully)
I'm keen to join you. Need to check if I can actually make it though. Right now I'm 55% sure I can make it so here's hoping to meeting you guys again for some goodtimes :) We can also tag team for the 2v2 SSFIV so practice on your main instead of doing a Scribble and picking different chars every time ;D

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!!! (Hopefully)
I'm keen to join you. Need to check if I can actually make it though. Right now I'm 55% sure I can make it so here's hoping to meeting you guys again for some goodtimes :) We can also tag team for the 2v2 SSFIV so practice on your main instead of doing a Scribble and picking different chars every time ;D
Whoa... I got only one char now... kinda :-[ ;D lol. It'll be mean if you, Redtie and some of the other boys can make it up. We can have another practice jam at my pad! Sorry I missed your HDR invite btw, Redtie bro. Only got it on PS3, don't have it on Xbox. I've been thinking about coming down to one of these mashups just to kick it down there and meet some of the South Island contingent, but now I think i'll wait till your Ranbats gets cranking ;D.

Won't be able to make Xmas damager I'm afraid. Found out we are heading overseas again early next year and need to save up. Maybe we should change our money over while exchange rate is so good ;)
Soz bro i cant make it this week on thursday cuz ive got an exam in the morning on friday.
Should be all good for next week though because my last exam is on wednesday, then i can finally relax lol.
I'll pop in this Friday. Got an exam that afternoon so I'll be good to pop in after it

Timezone has the same cab but it has a Happ stick ew! Andrew was telling me yesterday that Timezone had Blazblue CS! We had some games at mashups last night that game is crazy and Andrew learns fast. Was beasting on me with tager.
If they got Super SF4 AE. We could move mashups back to the arcade :)
Oh shit I thought mash ups were tonight lol Anyways yeah I noticed that, the missus was like "I thought you would be more excited than this" but I was like "Oh I don't like the sticks" ;D
Anyways, Blazblue? Awesome! I still haven't played that before but next time at mashups I'll try and learn something so I can at least win 1 round at the Xmas Damager :D

Awwwww don't make me choose ;)
I'll send the txt out and confirm here on Wed/Thurs
Next week we should just maybe move it back to Friday or Thursday if people are free. Then we can include the Andy factor. Also Thursday lines up pretty well with Gamersclubs SF meetups. Get Ranbats going get prizes grow community etc etc :D
EDIT: or Sunday evening? Hmmmmmmm......
that Andy wouldn't be me right? lol
if it so? I forgot what I said.. Hohoho...... >.<
Ok so Andy (Not zolsa unless he flys down ;) ) and Nick can make Friday so it'll be Friday at my place this week. Sorry Redtie. Be good to catch up next week though Or we have 2 (Not both at my place though ;D
Hopefully we can start some basic ranbat action in a couple of weeks.
I have good news and bad news!
I can make Friday!
My test is ACTUALLY tomorrow.. I haven't been to a lecture all term ahahah oh well only need 8% to pass
WOHOO! Seeyous Friday!
Awesome bro! ;D
Bring your xbox and we can challenge Dunedin possibly. Also loomie can rock the pad! Looking forward to it. :)
I'll have to work on Friday nights. Will let the crew know tomorrow during our session. Cheers
See you guys tonight! ;D
FUCK it's so hot today!!
Ok so hmmmmm people have come over because uni finished and started drinking at our place. I dunno but do you's wanna have mashups at my place tonight? I'll have the same setup at last time, 2x 46 inches for the setups and 2 couches. Heaps of room
Just need a PS3 setup I've already got an xbox and hired out Super. Only xbox pads though no sticks.
If not, I'll try ki9ck everyone out so i can come

Hmmmmm..... Scott, Loomie and Andrew are already coming over here at about 8.
Very tempting though. I could drive with my ps3 and sticks over. Maybe we meet up at mine at 8-9ish as planned so no one misses the boat and then gimme a pm or call at 9-9:30 to tell me what the happs is at yours and we bowl over in my car with gear. If Nora's client labours it means I might have to bail though (Slim chance but possible) but at mine won't have to kick everyone out since Maya sleeps throught the night now :D
Is it the same address? Landline me when you can :) 3224 248
I don't mind where we have mashups; Wherever is good for me :)
Actually flag my place. Too late to change hah. I'll be over at 8pm
Seeyous tonight!
Hey Cantabrians, I'm in the chur for the weekend.
I'm staying with the folks at Rapaki/Lytelton, would be keen for some games if possible. Where abouts you's get together?
So like after I left mashups, just started drinking and still on it! If you's wanna come drink then come drink! Bender starts now but like gotta make a trip to pick up some uppers so if I'm not home. Budafist you are most welcome to come round to come drink and like get wasted with us!!
Street fighter and drinks??
edit: GGs last night at mashups! god damn Andy you are a freak at cvs2! That last match was crackup! Fave was marvel! Starting to love this game! Mag fucking neeto
Damn Budafist you should've let us know sooner so you could've joined us at mashups lol
GGs to everyone last night, awesome turn out! And yeah Andy (Not Zosla :P) is a freak at CVS2! I'm actually gonna have to borrow Horst's DC to level up so I can score at least one win on you lol I would've asked if anyone is keen for super session at TZ on monday if they still had CVS2 :'(
Fuck I got wasted at MVC2, couldn't even kill off one char lol
Also shot Loomie! Your Gen has definitely improved since the last time we played! I love it when you go for those walldives though :P GGs my man
Great turnout on Friday night guys, thanks for coming along!
We had a pretty good setup happening.
Xbox 360 with SSF4
Dreamcast with CvS2
Laptop with 3rd strike, Hyper Fighting and BBCS
PS3 on the big screen with SSF4 and MvC2
Marvel was helluva fun. I'm finally starting to click with that game. Was gutted when I picked Ruby Heart by accident and got owned. GGs though.
Was good to catch up with Horst. Have fun in Taiwan man! Cheers for lending the community your DC till you get back. :)
Andrew when you go to Auckland you have to bust out CvS2. did I beat you one match? Or am i dreaming of times gone by ;)
Was great catching up with everyone! I'm going to start Ranbats once my stick is dual modded (As soon as I get my PS360 in the mail which should be in a couple of weeks), that way even pad players can challenge Dunedin's scene once things get going.
Sorry we missed your message Budafist would have been awesome if you could have made it.
See you guys at Redtie's next week :D
"Accidently picking ruby heart and getting rolled" Is one of the 817 Marvel rights of passage.
The next one on your list is
"Accidently picking ruby heart and beasting"
yup nice matches on fri everyone. You did get a win in there mark verse me in cvs2 and redtie I think gg's. I cant make this wk guys doing the dam grave yard shifts only sunday it looks atm. See how I go by next week.
Sup!
I can't host this week as I am moving back to my parents place for the christmas.
No worries man. :) My place mashup Friday 8pm start. Bring your goodies over will be awesome! No ranbats till we get dual mod action happening. I'm keen on more marvel and blazblue. Been playing carl on Blazblue he's hella tricky. And super of course. :)
Sweet! Damn I played BlazBlue for the 1st time last week at mashups and Andy totally destroyed me >:( I'll give it go some more and look for a character that I'm gonna main.
Hmmmm... What's a good character to start off with to just learn the mechanics? Never really played Guilty Gear either if that game is similar.
Jin probably...
My uneducated guess would be ragna or jin. ???
Sorry about that I completely forgot hah. OK so vpgames is so cheap for SE sticks its not funny. I'm going to pick one up for 100USD shipping included which comes out to be around 130 NZD.
Well I'll put the pricelist up so I can convince one of you guys to buy a stick and share the shipping cost 8)
Enjoy!
360:
Hori Fight stick $45 USD
Hori Pro-Ex $105 USD
SE $40 USD
TE $120 USD (Not many left)
Fight pad $23 USD (Prices vary between character models this was the cheapest I saw)
PS3:
DreamGear Stick $45 USD
Hori Fightstick $40 USD
HRAP 3 $80 USD
TE $120 USD
SE $40 USD
Fight pad $23 USD (Prices vary between character models this was the cheapest I saw)
Mayflash $32 USD
The TE's I listed are the first rounds, they do have round 2 one's but they are more expensive.
GGs everyone last night! Man I don't get BlazBlue at all :-\ GGs Marc, I used to be scared of EX Soul Spiral on wake up until I found out that I could snuff it with a cr.lk ;D Also very nice Dee Jay but I think you're right, after 1 game it's basically DL complete lol
Also thanks for the DC Marc/Horst, now I can finally practice some CVS2 ;D Also starting to learn MVC2 too but fucking hell gotta unlock the rest of the chars first >:( Also did the DC version have a different soundtrack to the Arcade version or does Horst's copy have a custom soundtrack? Loaded up the game expecting to be taken for a ride but never happened ;D
Yeah man goodtimes :) I was pretty taxed by the time Super Turbo came round but was lots of fun. Glad I could show you guys the maddness that is IK+. Yeah Blazblue, I don't get it either and I really wish I did. I have fun on 1p mode with Carl but I just feel I'm just skating on the surface and can't grasp the core system.
Marvel was fun and I'm feeling way less overwhelmed but the amount of stuff you can do in that game with the level we are playing it it's fun, getting really creative with mixups. Assists rock! Loved playing story cannon only teams vs redtie ;D Ryu, Ken and Dash assist Sakura for the win lol :D Making me even more hype for Marvel3
CvS2 and 3rd strike were fun too. Oh and that other game......... Really great sets with our mains. I glad a got vengence with a perfect ;) I want to come up with some more mixups by myself with deejay and then maybe read up about what I "should" be doing.
We should bust out SFEX2plus next week just for shits and giggles.
GGs on Friday!
So according to statistics, I should drop super and start playing tekken instead. Oh an of course ST hah. Man I'm so rusty at super its not funny. Which won't be funny if I go upto auckland and play like I did hahaha.... man need this stupid stick to get here already so I can start training properly. Marvel fun. ST fun, CVS2 fun, Super uhhhh.
Seeyous this week
GG's all on friday
So i knew i felt like shit when i left early, i ended up fainting and collapsed down the hallway saturday morning like 5am was found lying on the floor by my dad, had to go to the after hours surgery hospital for like half a day where they had me on a iv drip thing to have a couple litres of salt water pumped into my blood to rehydrate me, did blood tests and shit said it was a virus that caused exhaustion, been stuck in bed all weekend but feeling a bit better now though.

Damn I've been practicing up CVS2 just for you Andy lol I hope you can make next week since Redtie and I will be in Aux the week after.
I would have to get back to you guys for mashup next week. Another day like thurs during the week would be better on one of my days off.
Good to hear that you have been practicing in cvs2 Nick lol i would have to see how you manage to verse me again it wont be easy ;D
just wondering since i have work on fri night could there be a mash up this week either on tues, weds or thurs since those are my days off. What do you guys reckon on either one of those days ? same place at marks and time as usual.

Yeah bro do it! Isos for the win. I'm glad backed up all the psp games I own and am sharing them with you since all your psp games you bought got lost and damaged REMEMBER? ;)
Also how do you all feel like mashup on Thursday instead this week? Also Nick and Tamate's last mashup before repping Christchurch at the christmas damager. Gotta make them run the sf4 and hyperfighting gauntlet! Cue 80's training montage music!

I have it on emu but it's not really configured for pads or sticks. Feel free to bring yours :)
Yusss CVS2! Can't wait to make some true lovin'... all the time haha

Our gamertags will be Gamerz Club 6, Gamerz Club 7, Gamerz Club 8, and Gamerz Club 9. Hope to see you guys online! Cheers!

Last week was fuckin awesome!
Really fun times. We'll be on again this Thursday again at 8 gentlemen. I'll tell Liam PSN and Chocobuny too since he can probably sccore a ride if he's keen. It's gonna be goooood! Game faces on gentlemen ;)
haha, ahh man. I could have made that Thursday mashup. Where was my PM Munta?! :D
Thursdays are awesome for me. Also, I Managed to coerce Kim into possibly coming aswell, probably gonna hitch a ride with me.
Look forward to it and will keep an eye on this site more often in the future.
Awesome ;D be cool to catch up with you and Kim, looking forward to it 8)
Looking forward to this weeks mashups. I got my top tier team sorted for CVS2 haha. I bring my laptop again. Seeyou's then!
Hmmmm I might be able to make it but if I do I prob won't be there too long since my flight is like 5:40am on Friday :D
hey fellas I have work on thurs nite now, so I cant make it this week. But if its not too late a notice is weds tommorow nite ok with everyone for mashup this week? If not see yous next week,
Hmmmmm shall we move it to friday? Or Thursday? Thursday suits liam (And dunedin) but then Andys out. What about you Ben you could be the tiebreaker ;)
I'm free for whenever we could even alternate weeks. One week vs Dunners at my place on thursday the next week casuals at mine (Or gamestation if they'll have us) ;D
Wednesday is a no go for me since it's band practice night.
EDIT: THURSDAY NIGHT Andy can't make it on Friday anyways, he might be able to make it next week.
Ahh man, sucks dude. Yeah, Thursdays are ideal.
And I think Andrews not rostered on Thursday permanently.
Sup!
I can't make this week either, I've got 2 assignments to get through before Sunday and then my exam on Monday hahaha
NEXT WEEK THOUGH! If its on hah
I can make it but i havent played much SF lately :(
Man it's gonna be a ghost town small numbers is still fun though. Hope all is well with you Ben healthwise and all.
Awesome surprise turnout :) Ben, Liam, Johnno, Kim and two new challengers!
Was ggs guys rocking 3 super sf4 setups. Was cool discussing strats, hope my backseat street fighting wasn't annoying anyone.
Kim has really leveled up! Beat my rose last game of the night.
Small tourney next week? Chch and Dunedin?
Bring 2 bucks I've still got a spare ryu shirt and sf4 poster I could give away. As well as a ps3 non retail copy of modnation racers.
1st place takes all the cash.
We could have Dunedin in the brackets and do it online as well we could video matches and stuff.
3 setups
Xbox for online vs Dunedin and xbox pad vs stick matches.
Ps3 for ps pad vs stick and stick vs stick matches
Ps3 for casuals and whatever
Laptop for emu casuals
I could find some random spot prizes for people who don't make top 3
What do you guys reckon? Good way to celebrate our first year :)
Gettin mad jealous reading this thread.... hope to be coming soon once I sort my shit out!
On a side note, is there any AE arcade machines in chch? I highly doubt it but you never know unless you ask.
Sort your shit out asap then! ;D
But nah i doubt that we'll ever get one either... unless there's a PC port in the future sometime :-\
edit: Hey Munta I've got your pcb but no usb thingy whatever Rory was talking about lol flick me a text when you want me to drop it off tomorrow :) Also very hyped for the tourney! I got a secret character after doing plenty of studies in Aux ;D
Oh yeah, thanks Scribble and Flash for showing me the art of plinking. Been practicing on my stick that's not plugged into anything haha and also introducing me to OPs. I probably could go and look it up on the net but I just can't be fucked lol
Can't make this Thursday, Family get together I didn't know about :(
Hope the mini-Tourny goes well ;D
I cant make it this thursday again either. Seems Im working thurs from now on and the weekends since its that busy time of year. Good luck in the tournement.
Ill be there with ps3 stick and can also bring the ps3 if we need
Loomie can't make it so we need a x360 with a copy of super if redtie gets this message please bring your gears :) I can pay for the rental of super feeling better btw :)
So news from Kim via Damon
Super Street Fighter IV at CHCH Timezone next week!!!!!!
A serious W.T.Fucking awesome news from last nights mashup. So?
Will it be A.E. Or a mod dodge 360 in an arcade cab running normal super?
They've taken away all the old sf4 dodge cabs
That oz ssf4ae cab from that genjin vid is the same one as our dodge sf4 ones
Could they be reinvesting in fighters with tekken tag 2 coming out next year?
Will Loomie switch to stick ;)
We will probably move mashup to the arcade if it is AE. If regular super at least alternate big news for us. Apparently Auckland is getting Cabs too. I'll help run a tourney for the sf2'ce cab march next year on timezones new gear. Merry Xmas guys!!! Ho Ho Hype! :D
Yeah, I can confirm this. Talked to Regional Manager on Wednesday and he said they were legit, straight from Japan.
Apparently they're costing an arm and a leg ;D
Was kinda shocked they were getting it to be honest. It's not like SF4 was a big hit or anything.
Wonder how long it'll take before they tear the setups out of your arcade and send them to Auckland... Hohoho.
Grats CHCH, that's awesome news!

Fuck yeah I can't wait to be like "Genei Jin!" and then hear you guys rage how broken Yun is :P
In other news, Rufus' "Real American" costume is awesome. In my mind, I'm usually listening to:
But when I rock that costume it's:
LeeAtArms is fucking awesome
Legit cabs? Fuck. And TZ are pretty good about letting us run shit on free play as well. This might give yifans a run for their money if Yifans go the cheap route and chuck it on their shit setups. Also im not sure what the rumour Andy was rabbling on about was. Auckland TZ might be the new goer.
SUPER IS AT TZ RIGHT NOW!!!!! ON MY WAY THERE, COME PLAY!!!!
That's really awesome news. Nothing speeds up improvement faster than arcade play imo.
Yeah it's been a looooong time since I had to figure out chars without the help of a console. Learning while playing against other players today was really pushing me to download asap so that I don't have to spend anymore money and so that I get in more games lol
GGs to Andy and Kim today! Munta was right, Kim has ridiculously improved now. Iirc he doesn't have even have the game and only plays at TZ and yet he's this good? I'm very impressed bro. Especially since hardly anyone even played at TZ. I hope more people rock up now that we have AE ;D
Also GGs to Munta and Rafifty last night at mashups! Had some very fun sets with you two last night... Especially the "3rd player picks the chars" games lol
Man today was a good day. Got my new 320gb PS3 and got to play AE... 8)
Ok so next mashup will be timezone Thursday the 30th at 8 or 8:30ish. I'll see if I can organize a Super session free play deal for registered players on the night might be too much to sus by then though. So something to think about for the future maybe?
Other ideas:
Between 5 - 10 bucks per mashup. That way it loosens up the vibe for new comers a bit.
But every second week I reckon ranbats with free tz credit as prizes and something badass end of each season.
Merry Christmas guys :) Cheers for the beers Redtie (Brother in law will be stoked ;) ) might see yous randomly in the arcade between now and Thursday :D
no worries munta hahahah glad you got into those cornoas the least i could do for you man. You've been the man this whole year sorrting out our community
Thanks man
CHCH boys wnaana drink come round!!!! So much alky to go through

He didn't really get nerfed as hop is better. But yeah to above I think that was the idea. Good stuff.
Ok wtf we haven't had an aftershock in like weeks but now all of the sudden we've already had like 6 today. The big one was around 9am?
Anyways I'll be at TZ around 1:30 :)
Noooooo damn earthquakes, police told us all to leave town pretty much
anyways good GAME marc, yun and yang both feel pretty cool, more interested in yang though
the blanka ball nerf wasnt as bad as i was expecting but i only got a couple rounds in against a cpu guile b4 we had to leave.
sweet double dollars for holidays! ill be in this week txt me on 0276321035 if your down there
Ok back home now after you texted me about what happened... FUCK YOU EARTHQUAKES!!! I don't wanna play SSFIV anymore, it feels obsolete now :-\
SSFIV:AE - It's awesome but it sucks about the current display. Just gotta do a slight case mod so we can get that second HDMI plug in ;).
Quote from: Nick4now on December 26, 2010, 01:20:18 PM

Yep I know how you feel. Arcade all the way until DLC.
I just woke up. Farrrk those earthquakes were mean! Shit should get up and get into town play some arcade edition
Heading down to TZ this arvo. Hope it's open ;)
Is TZ (and the rest of town) open again? Also does anyone wanna have a go at transfering data from my old YLOD PS3 to my new PS3? I don't wanna attempt to pull out the HDD because I'll most likely fuck it up :D
edit: Hey Liam I had a Gold Card but I lost it around about 3 years ago (I know it's been a while since I was a "regular" lol). Am I able to get a replacement on that or do I have to start again? AE has made me wanna visit more ;D
Actually iirc, I had two Gold cards (lost the first one then started again leading to my second one :P).
Yeah man, but it's gonna cost you $5 haha :D Kinda steep I know.
As long as you've registered at Colombo St. TZ then we can pull up your card details ;).
Oh what you guys go to Columbo st TZ? I thought this was the one across from ricc mall : <
I don't think ricc will be getting it seeing as the cabs cost so much..?
Might pop in tomorrow while the cars getting its WOF done

Nah I doubt they even have AE tbh but I could be wrong though. Just seems empty most of the time lol
Oh yeah, I played against Cpu Cammy and Cannon Spike is
really easy to punish :P I don't think it needed the nerf though as it was punishable enough.

Yeah James Chen has been ranting on SRK about how awful she is. Dunno what I'm going to do now lol.
I don't think the Cannon Spike nerf is all that bad. When it's blocked/whiffed you're gonna get punished anyway lol As for the Cannon Strike nerf... Yeah I can see Cammy players being not too happy about this (and it's totally understandable imo). I just wonder how low you can do it now. Might have to test it out sometime :D

It didn't get increased blockstun so its pretty worthless. Apparently its pretty easy to reaction ultra to it now so yeah. Cannon Strike nerf, I never was worried about since yeah when you fail that its generally a free punish. Its kind of stupid though since its probably the most easily punished DP and yet it got nerfed even more.
From what I've seen her new combos are pretty lack luster, they are interesting but the Spiral Arrow changes make it so she goes under characters most of the time unless she does short Spiral Arrow, which is retarded.
I have no idea what character I'll go to when this comes out. Maybe Yun or Yang but I'm tempted to learn C Viper since her style is kind of similar to Cammys except a lot more technical.
The problem with Cammy in super, was that once in she could TK Cannon Strike over and over and over again for basically little or no risk. Then hit confirm into damage, rinse and repeat.
I think that the intention in AE was to stop this sort of rinse and repeat, low risk, pressure (hence the Bison scissor kick change).
Played a bit of Guy and Ibuki the other night. Certainly noticed the changes with Guy. His mid game is a lot better with the changes to st.strong and st.forward. 3 frame cr.short is so nice also. Biggest change is the fucking Target combo buff. I feel like I can do alot of pressure now, and can make 2 smart guesses and have my opponent near the corner.
Ibuki just feels the same. Didn't notice the damage changes at all TBH. Jump back kunai change is fine. I certainly didn't consider it as a nerf. Just different. Her links from cr.jab into st.forward, and her links from short spinkicks and target combo into jab seemed pretty easy and I was hitting them very consistently. But that could just be more to do with the fact that I am fucking awesome.

Ive heard this as well, and yet Rufus's Dive kick pressure wasn't changed, and the two characters they added both have dive kicks similar to Rufus. I've also heard it was to stop TKCS meter building (rofl) and yet Yun and Yang can both get meter from full screen with the palm move.
Just I dunno, it would have been nice if they had been consistent. Cammy was trash in vanilla until people realized her TKCS made up for a lot of problems she had, now we have all these new combos once were in, but no real way to get in and stay in. No decent overhead (lol neutral jump short) and terrible throw range lets people literally down back to victory as long as they look for throw setups. With cannon strikes we had some way of creating pressure via small amounts of chip and baiting throws. I really don't see cammy viable without it, like no she isn't the absolute worst character but this is such a depressing downgrade that has just made her a really bland character.

What do mean when it comes out? It's at timezone Colombo right now! :P ;)
But seriously you should just go down test shit out in the games beginner mode (3 games vs VERY easy CPU before you cab accepts fight requests) and see for yourself.
I reckon it's tough accepting nerfs especially when we know our characters weaknesses too and not getting something buffed somewhere else make up for the loss. Rose's U2 nerf seemed bad to me on paper but in the final build it's not too bad. Haven't tryed Cammy and I'm not good enough with her to form an opinion I reckon ;)
How long is everyone planning to play at TZ? I'll probably be turning up late. If noones around I might just pop in anyways to practice some Yun in 1 player arcade mode and buy myself a new gold card ;D
Is mashups on tonight?? At timezone? Cause I will be there
Yip at Timezone :) I'll be there round 8ish. Also don't forget about beginner mode for people wanting to find their feet before diving into VS games.
Ahhh not TZ :( haha.
I might come tonight, will see. It kinda sucks there's only one cab.
Wahhhhh how come theres only one cab???? so you can only play one player??
No there's two, but it's really only one split into two.
If you know what I mean ;D
I'm bringing in my DVI cable too need 720p X2. If there is only one cab (as in only one cab for 1p games only) then we can migrate to mine. But I'm pretty sure he means only 1 setup :)
Yeah, 1 setup. Would be better if they kept it old school AND had two cabs. Therefore we could have 4 people play simultaneously instead of 2.
It all make's sense now :D
Are you headn there from Ilam or Hoon Hay?
GGs to everyone tonight! Sorry I had to leave early but definitely gonna be in next thursday to finish off my half price Thrusday cred ;D Might go in tomorrow to sign up for a replacement Gold card since I forgot to do that tonight... And might as well get in a few games whle I'm there :P
Also tried out Juri for the first time in AE and I'm gonna try and get into the habbit of comboing into Senpusha without storing the FB. Also since Senpusha has "juggle" properties I'm gonna test out Senpusha (and hold K) FADC into something... Tried to pull off but my execution got in the way. FADC feels weird while holding down lk :D
1 more thing.... Thank you Capcom for nerfing Rose's U2 :P
Yeah man ggs. I'm sure some of those normals seemed buffed for Juri. Might be just seeing things. With no reversal to worry about it's a pretty free match for you once you get going. I really need to practice more.
Yun vs Yang was the highlight for me though. Seeing what we have both bought to the table after our short time with the game. That hit confirm combo with Yun is crazy. So un third stirke!
GGs Andy, Ben, Redtie and SataAndagi (New blood woot!) Your Mak isn't too bad man. Hope you get your PS3 fixed and we can play online.
What does everyone think of playing at Timezone? Should we alternate weeks at my place or keep it at the arcade? I think Arcade would level us up quicker while casuals is more fun and cheaper Hmmmmmmm......
Hmmm I love going to TZ to play now but maybe we should alternate? That way we can give each other tips on our games without having to pay lol
+1 for alternating that way we can play marvel 3 when it comes out aswell as other games lol
gg's to everyone last night at timezone. Yeay alternate thurs would be ideal to give each other tips ect, good to see some new fan blood from an RPG player, right see you fellas next thurs if I dont have work that night.
Im going in tonigh wasted as. OOooh andy where do you work bro if you are working tonight? I'll come in for a drink
Does anyone know if it's double dollars at TZ Today (Dec 2nd)? Yun is so fun to play with. I'm seriously thinking about maining him with Rufus/Juri as secondaries ;D
Checked TZ's website and it is indeed double dollars today. It's also double dollars tomorrow and tuesday too :)
You still keen to go sometime today Redtie and we'll go halves? I'll pick you up on the way there!
Cheers for the heads up. I'm gonna pop in tomorrow and load up. What's the best time to get the most random challengers ya reckon?
Maybe we have this week at timezone too. Then next week vs Dunedin. I'm heading away in a couple of weeks and would be good to have a good mix of AE and casuals at home before taking off.
Tonight I'm free for casuals at mine if anyones keen just flick me a text if your planning to bowl over :)
Well the two times I went was around 3pm and both times Andy and Kim were there lol
Oh snap! Too late haha
Had some good games with Kim before work ;D Managed to topple his Guile a few times.
Then he brought out Blanka. My hate for Blanka knows no bounds.
Redtie and I will be in TZ around 7pm :)
Arcade again this week 8pm Thursday I reckon. Next week my place. All good? We can migrate to mine if people run out of cash.
Yup TZ this thursday if anyone else is keen too. I don't mind with migrate over to your place after though :)
Cool :)
I just text everyone. Played there a few days ago. Played a female Seth player?! Was free. Then a guy who worked at timezone. Then Neil from the forums who was down from Auckland. Shout outs to Neil.
Rose's U2 timing has tightened up quite a bit it slightly less forgiving to combo into now. Also she builds meter slower so I was wiffing reflects a bit more to make up for it. Overall sort of on the glass half full between vanilla and super.
Might come along to TZ this time, but not really keen on spending too much money ;D
Would be keen to migrate back to your place Mark, like to ALT back to the pad at times and I get more game time that way aswell.
Is Loomie keen on the Arcade? He seemed quite proficient on the stick last time I played him. Either that or the dudes a natural ;)
I hope Loomie is keen. He's gotta learn stick now that AE is out ;D
But sweet I'll see you, Munta, Everyone else and *cough* Chocobuny *cough* at TZ/Munta's Place tomorrow!
Shout outs to The Captain! Thanks for the games guys, I'm pretty new to SF (started casually last year with Super) but the game's growing on me, it was definitley refreshing to play at the arcade rather than online. I'm back up in Auckland now so I'll keep grinding away slowly and see if I can provide you guys with a tougher challenge next time I visit.
Got your txt Marc and that totally sucks about 1 of the AE machines not working. I was really looking forward to play with Yun too. I'm still hoping that it's up and running again by 8pm tonight though lol I'm gonna be in town around 7pm so I'll quickly pop in TZ to see if the machines are out of order or not.
OK sad change of plans. One of the Queen st timezone AE cabs broke :( so they are sending one of ours up to Auckland so it cab keep earning. Rahhhhhhh Auckland!!!!! >:(
Hopefully we get it back no word yet though. In the meantime yun yang buffs and nerds CPU edition ::)
So mashup at mine at 8 instead. Dunedin challenge edition to vent frustration :P ;) loomie's bringing his xbox an we got a dual mod te!
We'll also have a casual setup or two.
haha, man. Shows how popular it is up north in comparison to here.
It must be one hell of a problem for them to ship a replacement. Doesn't look like we'll be getting the second one back anytime soon.
Nick you leaving from Hoon Hay? I'm at mum and dads place.
Sweet I'll come get you on the way
Cheers Marc, you the MAN! The comic's badass ;D
Good session, and legend of you to host again as always.
Loomie and his Godlike Gen/Cody. Gotta work on those matchups ;D GG's everyone else, beasting it as always.
Very good games tonight. Nice to see everyone again.
Looking forward to next week!
And good to meet you again Ramone
Tourney every week now I reckon bring 2 bucks each time peps. We'll play for ranking battle points and cash and I'll try a russle up a joke prize for each week.

GGs to everyone I played. Also nice to see you again Ramone!
Secret character: Succcess! 8)
GGs all last night was real fun
We should play more marvel to get ready for mvc3, man cable could beat shitty dormammu, shitty shehulk, shitty felicia 3v1, they should just sack up and add him already
Went into TZ today and had a couple of games. Both machines are there but one of them is still out of order.

Bizarre, I should just wait till I know what the official story is before running around like a chicken with it's head cut off like I have been lol.
might pop in and training mode my Yun and Yang for a bit this week. 1 is better than nothing I guess. If they do get it fixed I'll try and suss out that tourney before I go.
Yo man. You have to be worried bra. I would be. It's the biggest thing for your community. I feel your pain. It will definately give Nick the advantage he needs to beast the mighty Weazal.
But on the reals i hope you's get your machines sussed. I will go on strike and never play the Auckland TZ ones for your case. Real talk. Real drunk talk.
Yeah AE will stop you from being a cheap kung :P But shot for the txt assist hahaha
Also I didn't even notice that we were playing for points! Dammit I'm really hoping that we don't lose AE...
The Tech and I did a bit of trial an error on the faulty unit today, with parts from the working cab. A possibility that it might be the Motherboard, but not 100%. Gotta figure out what the POST beeps mean.
Games running on a Nvidia 7900GS :D haha. Didn't think that had the guts to run it.
I hope you guys manage to solve the problem soon. I'm itching to play some versus games with Yun ;D
Yeah man! Hope you guys fix it soon so it's going all good for when they send it up to us in Auckland...
OH BUUUUURRNNNNN!!!!
*Nick4now is currently in the middle of making a Lenny voodoo doll*
Hey people. Back from overseas. What's been happening? Am I reading wrong, or do we really have arcade edition in christchurch?
Welcome back bro, but yeah we have AE at TZ on Colombo st atm. The downside is that only one cab is working so no versus battles... And Aux might be taking them away from us too lol
Also, Andy's got your DC atm. We've been taking turns borrowing it ;D

You should pop into the arcade and get some games in with yun, yang and buffed mak and ibuki :)
2 more mashups before I head off for a month. I'll give you andy's number in case I miss you at mashup.
So this Thursday 7:30pm my place. Unless AE gets fixed before then :) everyone bring 2 bucks! Challenge goes out to Dunedin if you fellas are lurking on this thread :D
Welcome back Horst I will be at mashup this week and if your there I will return your dreamcast. I left a voice mail on your phone see you all on thurs 7.30pm at marks yup with the 2 bucks cash peace.
Sweet I'll see you guys tomorrow! Ben can you remember FFXIII for me? Time to start over again dammit lol

By the way tomorrow shall be epic! ;D
Keen for mashups, yea ill remember to bring ff13 aswell
haha, Redtie. I've got the cable you're after man.
Was wondering why I ended up with two ;D
Any updates on the AE cabs? Fixed? shipped to Aux? lol
Didn't hear anything as Damon had left. But they had Aucks broken cab up and running. Might have done a parts swap from the working one and are now testing it. Just guessing.
please say shipped to aucks haha jokes :D

ps. that zangief player had a very unique play-style i hadn't seen much before
GGs everyone! I'm gonna use a new character next week too lol That Gief player was... interesting lol
Mahvel was fun but I don't know what I'm doing. Just mashing the Dr. Doom assist and rushing down with Strider seemed to work... sometimes. Team Clockw0rk ftw haha
Had some Sagat vanilla coke this morning too. It was tasty.
Yeah, Awesome turnout ;D
GG's that was real fun looking forward to next tues and thurs
Awesome night Gentlemen. Only sad thing is we woke Maya when everyone left at 1:30am and she didn't go back to sleep for 3 Hours!
So sadly to avoid it happening again I sadly won't be able to host thursday, since we need her to sleep before we fly out the next day. Don't worry I'll be able to host when I get back just covering our bases. But can bring my gear to anyone elses house if the can host.
If you can host flick me the details and Address earlier this week and send it out, or spread the word on Tuesday at 8pm at Timezone.

Also can host again for anyone who missed the txt. We'll have another Ranking Battle tournament. Just have to shut up shop at midnight and everyone leave ninja quiet styles.
Wohoo! Seeyou's tomorrow. What time is everyone heading down?
I'll be there 8ish. Gonna be fun as. Hope AE is still there when I get back.
MvC3 will be eating time by then though ;D
I should be able to make it to TZ but atm it's a question mark... Dammit lol But i'll definitely be at mashups this thursday. I need to bust out my newest secret char hohoho
But in the mean time gonna try and learn some things in MVC2 with team Clockw0rk lol
Anyone going through Ilam?
Hit up Loomie, Ben or Horst to see if they're heading to TZ tonight. Might as well pick up Chocobuny on the way too since he's around Ilam ;D
If anyone of you's are reading this then please please shot!
If im driving i may be able swing past and grab ya, if not ill prolly bus in, where u at?
Sweet bro! I'ma bus at like 7 if I have too. Down at Hamilton Ave bro if you are driving
Just had a mean roast chicken dinner with chocolate brownies for dessert ;D, yea ill drive i can grab ya like 730?
sweet bro chur thanks man!
Hey guys
Was actually offered a ride (I think it was RTLnz, but can't be 100% sure on the name, something similar at least lol) and was going to come thursday, but me, my dad and my brother are heading out for a 3 day holiday in Picton tomorrow. So sorry I wont make it... : (. So that also means I won't be back on till Saturday, so if you guys decide to do some epic mic lobbys or something, try wait till I get back <_<;
Hopefully next week I'll show up, if I can still get a ride. Once again sorry guys, might try come on tonight and see if anyones playing before I leave tomorrow : P
GGs all ima keep working on my balrog for thursday,
man lasted like 3hrs on <10$ was awesome
lol at the I was on the wrong side tekken kid
Thats what happens when I beast too hard, kids start saying they playing on the wrong side.
GGs all. Thanks Rafifty for the ride you're the coolest. RTL needs to fix raiden so me and Rafifty can clock it on 1 Credit.
Seeyou's Thursday
Yeah GGs everyone! Man felt good to play AE again. Yeah I spent about $10 too and lasted the whole night haha
Felt a little rusty with Yun but after a couple of games I started to remember shit lol Kim has reeeally good footsies! Really hard to get in lol
Fuck I should've played some games that win tickets too. Those lollies were good. Rafifty and Redtie the funny kungs. Turn up for SSF4AE but decide to go and play VF4, TTT and Raiden haha
@Chocobuny: Damn you missed out bro! Hit us up when you're keen to head to TZ for some games sometime. This Thursday will be the last Chch... tourney... thingy for a while since Munta is heading overseas soon. But depending on who's willing to host, mashups will probably still continue and it'll awesome if you joined us!
Edit: Dammit my Ling Xiaoyu T5 juggles seem so obselete in T6. Definitely not the damager anymore :-[
GENEI JIN! ;D
Rofl nick is the JRPG you got Agarest?
Man FFXIII-2 announced tonight ill probably end up getting that
Haha yeeap that's the one ;D
Wow FFXIII-2? Haven't completed FFXIII yet so I don't know how the story ends but if it's some fucking Charlie's Angels shit like FFX-2 I'm not buying it.
Hopefully ff13-2 has towns and a proper world map with side quests and an actual good story. Lightning is shown on the logo with another girl with a flamey looking sword, no sign of vanille haha hope it stays that way. also itll be interesting to see what u think about the ending of ff13 lol.
I did some reading on agarest,
"During your quest you will develop relationships with these girls and, at the end of each chapter, "Soul Breed" with the one that likes you the most. Your offspring will go on to star in the next chapter (or generation) of the game"
Its like a final fantasy tactics strategy game + a little bit of a dating sim. dunno if its good or not.
Sounds kinda lame... lol Did you wanna borrow it? You can let me know what you think of it haha
Oh and can everyone bring their Harddrives to mashups so we can do some trading lol
Last night was fun.
Yun is really crazy, his bread and butter is crazy good. I got my revenge perfect but didn't win the match :( Kim keeps on powering up. His Ken is really good.
Blanka is still the bane of my existence, I've learnt the matchup but it's 50/50 whether I can win or not. Nerfs haven't hurt him too much in AE. Redtie and Andy hit confirm Blanka balls most of the time anyways.
Yang is fun. I only have a shallow bag of gimmicks. I like having a new character to try things out with. Makes me more hype for Marvel 3! 36 new characters to try and learn!
See yous tomorrow. Try and get there early as poss since we'll finishing up midnightish. Got some MvC3 themed prizes this time round for lols.
haha, I'd fix Raiden if I could ;D
From a spectators POV, The Yun and Yang matchup is awesome to watch. Munta and Nick, you guys are good.
Also, Choco's beast online, Hate to see him offline :o hopefully we'll see you at future mashups!
What's the earliest time you want us to be around Marc? I'm assuming before 8 lol
Try for before 8 if you can. Might run two matches at once if we start running late.

Hah ultra whiffin smells baaaadd. That's a mean name.
GG's all tonight, cheers for the AC brotherhood lend marc and have fun on your trip.
who whiffed the most ultras?
ps. guile sweep > me, rofl at least i know for next time.
GGs all. Thanks Marc for hosting again and have fun on your trip! See you when you get back!
ALSO! Did I overhear that there was going to be a MashMasters group to join on facebook?! Keen.
There should be a NZism group on facebook or something ay
GGs everyone, a little bit salty about my loss but at the same time extremely happy how everyone is leveling up! For me the guys who are standing out are Kim and Liam imo. Damn my counter pick for Blanka failed but I'm having fun learning Cammy so I think I'm gonna stick with her in SSFIV. Besides, I think I'm outta secret characters anyways haha
If anyone is heading to TZ at anytime post here (or flick me a txt) before you go. I might be keen to meet up ;D
Oh and I'm gonna get in more MVC2 practice. Getting an asswhooping by Redtie's flying Sent was ridiculous and will have to run it back after leveling up. Damn I wish I got into this game years ago lol
Too late to get into that game bro lol. MvC3's coming out. And we all gonna level up at the same pace. Then CHch will have no excuse!!! Hahahhaha!!!

Pffft I've never made an excuse and I don't think anyone from Chch has either.
*Plays Guile theme*
Apparently there's going to be an even bigger earthquake on March 20th so if we're going to have an AE tourney it should be before then lol Maybe the 19th? that way it doesn't clash with First Blood and people outside of chch who decide to enter get to experience an chch earthquake ;D
And yusss finally got my Gold Card today :D
Sorry but you can't predict earthquakes :p
Yeah I know, I should've stressed the word "apparently" more in my previous post lol but yeah it's based on some theory by a guy name Ken Ring. He also apparently (see what I did there? :P) predicted the earthquake back in September.
Whaddaboutthisguy?
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2/CptMunta/meandjwong.jpg)
Met him in LAX Airport after a huge 14 hours to get to the US. No stopover cos our flight was delayed. Saw him jogged over and Fanboyed hard. Told me Chun was definitely on his MvC3 team at the moment. Loving Marvel 3! Only had like a 2 minute chat since his flight was boarding hope to catch up with him in the US :)
That is pretty fucking awesome
Haha thats cool, mad green jelly right now
Tell him to give me back the $10 gas money he owes me for driving him to Daigo's house that time.
I doubt he'll pay you back. I still haven't received payment from all the Rufus training I gave him back in Vanilla days... Asshole.
If noone is hosting mashups this week is anyone keen to head to TZ this Thursday since it's half price?

im keen for thursday, what time?
Sweet I'm in. Anytime is good for me. I hope wrong side tekken kid is there
Sweet 7:30ish then? I'll flick a txt to horst but I don't have anyone elses number haha. If you guys can somehow contact Loomie, Andy, Kim, Ramone and Damon that'll be cool. Liam and Chocobuny will probably see this before Thursday so hopefully you two are keen too :D
Edit: Woah just realised that that's 11 chch players in total. Pretty awesome start for 2011 I must say ;D
Argh my phone's battery is dead and I have to sift through my luggage to find the cable to charge it then I can pm you fellas with everyones numbers.
For the time being I think Andy has Kim's number you could Pm ramone (his handle is SataAndagi loomie, Liam horst (his handle is chained) and Chocobuny with your cell number and about Thursday.
Hey all, Ramone here. Too lazy to read all of the other posts, so just gonna post all relevant info here. Also unlikely I will check the forum again for a long time. (I have a mental block against them.... dunno why.)
So, I fixed my PS3! Those who want to mercilessly beat on my Chun or Makoto just add Sata_Andagi. Also, yeah if you want my cell # send me a PSN.
'Til next time!
EDIT: HOMGZ HOLY CRAP. Marc, if you see Gootecks and Mike Ross, get them to sign something. I will pay you. :D
Might make Thursday, have plans mid afternoon so I'll see.
I told Kim and Andy at work today about mashups at TZ, they said they'll see.
So keen to get E.Ryu and Oni unlocked ;D
Goddammit Ramone read the previous posts lol If you did you would've noticed that we're trying to meet up at TZ this Thursday >:( Welcome to the forums btw lol
Oh have you found out what the codes are Liam? Tbh I'm not really interested in using them at all anyways lol
Nah, haven't got the codes yet. Well as far as I know.
Can't make it tonight, but let me know if you need Kim/Andy's numbers.
Can't make it broke. House paint is expensive. $74 buck for 500ml primer and 1L of pain.
lamed, nick are we still on?
ps. redtie howd ur painting the SE workout im kinda interested in looking to do mine lol
edit: whoops was that paint for your drunken double wall fudge kicks friend?
Maybe shud save it for another time? Looks like no one can make it lol
I can make it. Someone let me know if we're still on. :D
I'm still keen ;D
Sweet im in, chocobunny u want me to pick u up?
Okay im still coming : )
Gonna swing by choco's now, last call for anyone else in the ilam area lol
seeyas soon.
Haha yeah bro was for that exactly. WHO RANG MY DOOR BELL!
SE looks ok hah. Top looks nicer then the casing, think I'm going to have to sand it down and repaint it cause the paint didn't go on too well
lol thats what you get you cheap bastard
You guys got anything planned for next week? I might be down there for work to do some CHCH earthquake remedial stuff :O
Oh snap! Hey bro I'm 90% sure we're gonna meet up at TZ again on Wednesday since it's double dollars... And might get a feed after. We also might have mashups at Redtie's place on Thursday night If you're keen for that too. We'll keep you updated on the forums :)
GGs to everyone tonight! Shot Chocobunny for finally joining us. Good to meet you in person! I think you should start unlearning the TKCS now unless you're using EX :D Also it's time to unassign your 3x punches/3x kicks too. lol
GGs to Ramone, I think you should just stick with Makoto. I think she was a lot more dangerous that your Chun tbh I gotta admit, you got me good in our first game. Dash Punch xx Super into Ultra was soooo damaging lol
Oh and Redtie's SE has the potential to be the most beautiful stick I've ever seen.
Quote from: [NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja on January 27, 2011, 08:56:23 PM
lol thats what you get you cheap bastard
Hahah nah its cool now. Nick and Rafifty said so. Its the Bret Hart stick.
GGs to Nick cause I was too busy playing tekken to play anyone else hohoho. Shot Ramone for the TZ cred. Don't vs Kim at daytona he is a beast.
@Rorooze, join in with the fun. I will definitely host a mash up if you are coming down. Bring your stick as we don't have many xbox sticks if you can bro.
Me and Rafifty are going to play tekken tomorrow! $2 tournament, winner gets $50 hohoho will be fun.
Lol was fun, was different to anythin ive done before lol. I'm like the smallest guy there lol. On the way home Ben tried to drill in everyones name so hopefully I'll remember lol, don't count on it though I am terrible with names.
Its not even trying to unlearn the TKCS, I was trying to do like mid level strikes and they weren't coming out. Was really making me wtf sometimes lol, the height is so stupidly high now it's like right before the tip of her jump. I need to learn her new combos, I was just doing the same old shit lol.
Also I don't think I can give up my 3x punch / kick buttons! Too reliant on them now lol, they should install the buttons in the cabinet <_<;
Overall I'm pretty happy, Cammy isn't as nerfed as everyone says she is in the SRK forums, I just find it stupid that one of the reasons they got rid of TKCS because apparently it builds too much meter from full screen, and yet they give yun and yang a palm move that does the same thing zzz. Can't wait for AE on consoles, and hope you guys get the oni/ evil ryu codes.
Great meeting everyone, sorry if I didn't talk much was pretty overwhelmed lol.

The differnce is palm is really slow, you could do 3 TKCS in the time it takes to recover from palm so yes palm builds meter but not at the crazy rate TKCS did. Also TKCS had little to know recovery so can't be punished from half to full screen with say an EX Psycho Crusher but if I see Yun pull out a palm at the same distance I can punish it easily with EX Psycho Crusher or EX Scissors. The difference between the moves is more than just how fast it built meter, Cammy is airborne during TKCS while Palm is grounded and once again easier to punish plus palm certainly doesn't lead to any horrible mixups.
Sweet boys, I'll let you know if the flights get booked, at the moment it's looking like I get to go down if the boss has to go to Aussie next week, which I'm still not sure on. Chur.

Hmmm from what I've seen you can pretty much link any normal after her jabs/shorts. Her bnbs are probably now something like:
cr.lk, cr.lp, cr.mk xx Spiral Arrow
cr.lp, st.hp xx Spiral Arrow
st.hp, cr.hp xx Spiral Arrow
st.hp, cr.hp, cr.mk xx Spiral Arrow (Not sure if this actually works. st.hp might make chars reel back too far for the cr.mk)
Like Mason said you'll have to use mk Spiral Arrow since you gotta be closer now to get two hits with hk. I'm also thinking since her normals now have less recovery maybe she can now combo into sweep? I was gonna test her out with you last night but Yun is just too fun lol

Hmm yeah I was still using the HK spiral arrow as a reflex and noticed sometimes I missed out on the 2nd hit.
Her new combos have weird timings. I was using the timing for Seths light punch into medium punch and couldn't get it consistant, although I gotta admit I ended up just giving up on her new combos. It kinda sucks now that I know Cammy has a whole new kinda feel and I cant practice it at home. I know why you don't play super anymore : P.
I might go check out SRK to find out anything new with her. I hear she has some awesome frame traps but I didn't know them, and plus I don't think you are the type to mash buttons : P.
Hey is someone missing $10? I might have accidently gotten it? I bought a $20 power card and I have $40 change from my $50 note.... The guy there saw $10 on the floor and assumed it had fallen out of my pocket, and I Thought so too but maybe it wasn't mine? Sorry I will give it back if anyone is missing it, totally didn't realize!
@chocobuny: Lol not stinging or anythin but i think that was mine, i lost 10$ but i thought it was still in the car though cuz i didnt put it in my wallet.
@redtie: ive learnt 2 juggles with jin and some pokes, im reaaddy

Pfft that's not mashing, that's well timed crouch techs lol I'll stop when you learn Counter hit setups. You actually got me a couple of times with them too haha

I know her standing medium punch into crouching medium punch is a counter hit set up, but I am so used to people mashing DP's online that I rarely use it lol.
Haha I was thinking of joining you guys for the Tekken tourney but I cbf right now lol besides I'm too rusty and my obsolete T5 will probably get me knocked out straight away anyways.
Back to Final Fantasy XIII. I just finished chasing that fucking little chocobo that hangs in Sazh's fro around for a Star pendant.
Shit bro Rafifty man I just woke up was at my mum and dads. Sorry bro!
Oh yeah! It was good to meet you Chocobuny! ;D
lol algud, i missed the registration anyway got there like 715, they were a couple rounds in, it was drawn doubles tourney half were like real pro and the other half looked about the shitty same as me. Supposedly theres another tournament next friday at northlands i think
Sweet thats us. I heard thats the scrub capital of tekken.
Kim seems to think Auckland has E.Ryu and Oni only I have heard nothing and read nothing on here?
I think he may have been misinformed :'(
Kim's right they do have them unlocked. Too bad their TZ employees wanna be kungs and hold out on us by not sharing.

From my understanding the guys that work at BK TZ in Auckland aren't the same guys that have been holding out on us. The dudes that fixed the resolution issues and input the codes don't work for TZ.
Hope the cabs are still there when I get back I want to set up that tourney to win that sf2ce cab. It won't clash with first blood or earthquakes fingers crossed. Also evil ryu and Oni will be banned to avoid problems uploading matchvids and to keep TZ out of trouble.
Cool to hear Chocobuny has joined the offline scene :) welcome to the scene bro :) scene is building.
MvC3 tourney hopefully when I get back at gamestation. Have to have some sort of regionals or sus out ranbats deals for nationals for ssf4 and mvc3.
Gonna be entering a tourney in San Jose on the 5th. My rose is going to be rusty as. Hopefully I can rep chch and nzism :)

Theres a tourny to win that cab? Of course my PS3 breaks so I can't train for this, god damn I would love a cabinet!
Also sounds like a lot of stuff is coming up in the future, sounds great. Try record your tourny matches!
No point on training on console if you're planning to use Cammy anyways. It'll make you do more Jumping kicks instead of TKCSs lol The best thing to do is just train at TZ. I'm planning on only maining Yun and pretty much only going to be using him in the tourney :D With Double Dollars around the corner I'm gonne be getting in plenty of practice ;D
Nick's right. Arcade training will be your best bet. Also coming to Ranbats each week will help with tourney pressure which I think is most players worst enemy. I'm actually thinking of
Tuesdays Arcade for anyone who is keen
Fridays Ranbats Alternating between SSF4 and MvC3 with the winnings and points kept separate for both.
Tourney's
SSF4 AE tourney Timezone Aprilish?
MvC3 Gamestation Juneish?
And wrap up each seasons ranbats before nationals.
So many new games next year! 8)
As for recording my tourney matches doubt I'll do it. Might end up on the Costa Rica SSF4 YouTube channel. The event will make 3 Green Bars series 2
Yeah the dudes at BK TZ have no idea what the codes are. There are two members of our community who know.
Sweet can't wait for the tourneys to begin. I have a feeling we will have alot of new challengers enter our scene this year. I've already got two on the way kinda.
edit: Andddd aslo anyone got a Panodra's batter?
Decided I'd try practice on SF4 on PC. Picked Cammy, even though she is fucking horrid in vanilla. Found one match, of course its a ryu. Jump back fireball typical ryu. Cammy can't cross up in vanilla so I have to bait out his uppercuts on wakeup etc, but I end up losing anyway. One of the uppercuts he mashes out SRK and super then taunts me, we are one round each and just argh what a shitty end to it. Was about to message the guy gg afterwards.
Never playing vanilla again lol.
Man, I hope they cough up the code. It's not like people are breaking down the front door to play SSF4. I'll bet $10 Bucks the majority of players won't even notice/know about E.Ryu and Oni.
And Marc, should let me use E.Ryu for tourny. Not like i'd make it far enough and be in any videos :D (Provided he's unlocked)

You never know, you've got plenty of time to level up. I think you'll do fine ;) Tbh I think the skill level gap between us Chch players is slowly closing and becoming more even. And numbers are growing too so I'm really hyped for not just our little community but also the whole NZ community this year!
So are we on for another meet up at TZ this Wednesday? And then a feed at Osaka for some Takoyaki? I'm down ;D Also mashups at Redtie's on Thursday? Hey Chocobuny if you can't be fucked walking over to Redtie's place I can pick you up on the way since I literally drive past your place every time I go over lol

I may need a pick up just to know exactly where it is lol. But it is a maybe at the moment, just sold my car today and really need to sort out my new one and some other shit this week. I'll keep you guys posted.
We'll also the fact that I'd be new to E.Ryu :D Just would be beast to play that Character!
Keen on Redtie's on Thurs, lemme know if my PS3/Screen is needed man.
Sweet! Mashups mine Thursday. Yes please bring your gear cause like I only got an Xbox + stick and a TV. Start at like 730ish. Also keen for Wednesday.
So whats the plans this week and whos keen?
I'm keen on heading to TZ tomorrow for Double Dollars. We need to get everyone's numbers so that we can confirm who else is down lol
Then Redtie's for mashups on Thursday. I'll bring my stick lol
Hey Rory you coming to Chch this week?
Meet timezone say, 7ish? Play for like an hour then shoot off to get some food at osaka. Then go back to TZ I guess
Might have to go earlier if we want to get to osaka. Can't member what time it closes
Yeah I think Osaka closes around 9 - 10pm. I can't remember either. But yeah meet up at TZ around 7pm and let everyone else know too.
I arrive in San Fransisco on Feb the 11th, Feb 10th is my birthday and the date of the MvC3 release party in San Fransisco.........
FAR KING HELL
Turns out I ain't coming to CHCH this week :<
I won't be making it this week sorry. Grandparents coming over tonight for some family thing, and tomorrow Im out looking for cars. Sorry. Am going to get my PS3 fixed this week hopefully to play with you guys again though
Duuuuuuuuuuumb find a car before mashups tomorrow lol Redtie's place is just a street off yours bro.
@Rory: Haha awwww stink, let us know when you're here man. If you still got my number just flick me a txt when you're down :)
DUDES! We have E.Ryu and Oni! Go TZ now! ;D
Fuck tempted, but then ill be going back there again in like 5hrs anyway zzz, keep them unlocked tonight!
Yeah I can't make it until later tonight either. I'll probably still only play Yun but it'll be cool to play against the new chars :D
Ok, some bad news. As of now, we have no idea how they were unlocked and unfortunately it's been done on only 1 cab! And apparently they won't link up aswell :'(
Will keep you posted
Quote from: Ridethelightning on February 02, 2011, 01:27:44 PM
DUDES! We have E.Ryu and Oni! Go TZ now! ;D
Keep em unlocked till I get back. E Ryu and ONI can be not banned if you want Liam. I just won't upload the vids of select screen and secret characters. If we have the tourney in May it won't matter anyway.
I hope I get at least a tiny bit of hands on with Marvel or be somewhere playing the game when its released when I'm away. Gonna pick up the bradygames guide if it's decent.
I might be late or i might not make it at all. Ben what time you going bro? Can I get a ride with you if thats ok? Going to play bball will be back by 7ish I hope
yea thats cool
OK, definite confirmation from TZ. Only 1 Cab has players unlocked still and...
CABS DO NOT LINK UP, I REPEAT, CABS DO NOT LINK UP!
Don't know if you guys are still keen, but it seems kinda useless to go now.
Damn I'm going to be late. I might not even be able to make it but all good since we can't even play each other lol
Might just pop in later to top up for Double Dollars lol
Ok, turns out our Technician unlocked it. But forgot to do the other one apparently.
Trying to get hold of him so I can get the code :D Don't hold your breath though. But it will be unlocked tomorrow if all else fails.
Oh gay they're not linked cbf going then to play single player lol i might pop in tomorow during the day to test out the new characters
You kungs! Ok play at jam at mine now if you's want. Is no one actually going?
U still wanna go and just play tekken or soemthing if its shit?
Sweet bro what time? I'll be home either way just cruise over whenever and we'll see whats up
kk ill head over like now

Hey folks. My older brother and mentor in sf is visiting from Taiwan. And I thought it'd be cool to pitch up with all u pro psychos here. Any chance for a mashup in next 2 or 3 days? I'm not flatting anymore so I can't host..
Well, if no one is busy we could probably do this tonight? I've got a 21st to goto but can't be fucked going really. Keen anyone? Just need another monitor some sticks and we are good to go. I've got xbox + sf + and a stick. If you bring you're sticks over chained then we will be good on the xbox setup.
Might be the last mash up at our place for a while cause gf is coming back next week so we should make the most of it.
Kim, Damon and myself had a good go with E.Ryu and Oni. They're bloody awesome, highly recommend you guys go check 'em out.
Can't make it tonight, gonna head in to TZ and battle Iain after his shift's over. Got work early morning also :'(
Ok cool sweet as man. Sent txts out hopefully they got to everyone. I got some gardening to do, I'll check the forums in an hour or so and if you's are keen sweet if not looks like I'm off to that 21st.
Cheers redtie. I'll check back here later on then!
I could maybe come after the warriors game and bring ps3, but dont have a monitor
I'll bring monitor :)
Ok well sweet! We might have to start this around 8:30. Ben what time warriors playing? Someone txt nick or something cause I got no phone, was txting you guys off my brothers ha.
Warriors are on now finishes around 8, its still nil all.
Just got home but sweet I'll be around after the game too. Unless the Warriors start to get a hiding during the 2nd half then I'll be over earlier.
Someone let Choco know lol
Hahaha the missus and I were at Ricc Mall and when we went to park there was a lady who was walking her cat on a leash lol We sat in the car just watching people's reactions for like 10 minutes ;D
22 all draw, typical warriors letting in like 3 trys in the last 15mins lol
Oh Durr sorry turns out I can't make tonight. He's gone off and made plans lol.. Any chance tomorrow or day after?
Up to redtie lol, i might bail too then and finish mass effect 2, unless u guys are super keen to play tonight.
Also probably going to go in and top up at tz and try the new characters tomorow because its double dollars.
New characters are awesome. Got taken down by workmates Rog though :-\
If you come in before 11am I'll give you a match Ben.
Keen for mashups, tomorrow is a maybe. Please text me if on.
Can't do today bro's got test tomorrow but can do a mashups tomorrow if yous are keen. Post on here cause like I don't have a phone hah
Ill be keen for tomorrow, heading into town now to top up
I'm keen for tomorrow! Oh and I'm gonna pop into TZ today to top up after I have a feed haha
by the way redtie, what's ur gamertag? also, did u still wanna go find the rock climbing wall?
His GT is stompyTHEcat bro.
Anyways, went into TZ today and tried out both E. Ryu and Oni. I got bored of using them so fast :-\
Oni was kinda cool, e.ryu was pretty boring though, meh at least we tried them
Meh, I thought E.Ryu was pretty awesome. But I do like playing Ryu and Akuma so I'm kinda getting the best of both worlds :D
The shoto's are the most fun to play chars in the game imo. Can E.Ryu do demon flips and air fireballs and shit.
Nah, no Air.FB's or Demon Flip sadly. Has Akumas sweep/Teleport/HCB.FB/c.HP/lk.tatsu -> hp.dragon... and Raging Demon for super.
And I think his back throw, though that may have been Oni ???
Yeah I think that's Oni. Sorry Weazzy if I knew you were interested in these lame characters I would've put more effort into figuring out more shit for you lol But I think Mason already wrote up a few things about them anyways.
From my little halfassed attempt to use them, I don't see anyone dropping their shoto mains for these guys. I find it funny how there's people who haven't even played AE are already labelling them top tier or broken lolol
I gonna main the shit outta E.Ryu, seriously, never had some much fun playing Ryu before. It's like Super Ryu Turbo edition.
I'm not hardcore serious about winning any FG Tourny's and I don't know if E.Ryu is considered "Top Tier" or good in anyway, but to me he's just insanely fun to play :D
Though with all that said, I would like to see Daigo main/alt him and see what his true potential is at high level play ;)
Start 7ish tonight. Bring monitors, ps3, sticks etc etc. And yeah bro pretty keen to check out that rock climbing wall sometime.
Has everyone been contacted for this? I can flick a txt to all the guys with 021 lol
Let me know who you guys need texting, will flick Kim and Andy one now.
Yes please txt people 8)
I'm in.
I've txted Ramone and Damn since they're the only 021 guys other than Horst lol
Chocobuny if you're reading this you keen? I'll come and pick you up on the way haha
Edit: I'll bring my PS3 and stick but need a monitor. Has anyone contacted Loomie?
In that case, I'll just bring my Display for your PS3 Nick.
Andy and Kim coming, will text Loomie if noone else has?
Sweet! Yeah flick him a txt. I'm sure that Redtie has already made contact with him but just to be safe let him know anyways.
Oh and will need an HDMI cable, I can't find mine lol I stored it somewhere but since I only play on CRTs I never use it lol
Ah sorry guys just got back from viewing cars lol. Hope you guys have fun. Whens the next thing?
Hey we just started haha I'll come and get you if you want.
It's Nick btw
Heya, found both my stick usb endy thingys lol. cheers, redtie. Think I left my leavers hoodie though.. check it out for me?
Damn, just checked the forum after a week. So, don't know what's been going on, went to timezone last wednesday but the cabinets couldn't link. Epic fail.
Also, just noticed the message Marc sent around has a small typo in my number, it's 0211617418* so if you guys have been trying to text me, I am not a dick who doesn't reply. :D Just sayin'
Hahaha stink, I sent you a txt on Monday about the mashups at Redtie's place lol Oh well, at least we've got your number now. We'll let you know when the next mashups are :)
When is the timezone thing going to get sorted out?

Everything is running smoothly now. E. Ryu and Oni unlocked on both cabs and can system link again :)
Oh yeah I tried out Cammy the other day and it feels likes shes better overall. Just need to remember that she can't TKCS unless it's EX haha
Costa Rica rocks! placed 6th in a Costa Ricain national tourney on 4 hours sleep. Had heaps of fun Costa Ricain scene is helluva fun. Girl Chun player was too late to enter tourney but was destroying top 8 in casuals. Didn't want an interview though.
Going to scrub up to a best buy next week for some mvc3 demo kiosk action. Once I'm in San Fransisco.
Also entering a mvc3 tourney on the 18th may attend a release party on
The 15th (unofficial :( )
Might be meeting John Choi, Ricky O and FChamp at Sunnyvale Golfland next week! Had to tell someone! Will try and get some stuff signed for prizes.
Cool to hear about e ryu and Oni in chch. Showed them our AE setup and they are mad jealous. Looking forward to getting back and having ranbats again in couple of weeks. Helluva hype for Marvel

Rafifty is beasting on Deejay the kung, so I had to bring out the secret weapon. Jump down + lk
Shot for the ride bro
Serious Question" I just lost to an Akuma that kept jumping back and fireballing... am I the worst player ever?
Online or offline? Either way, yes you probably are :P

Nope, every strat is valid and you just have to find a way around it. I have a terrible Akuma, but when my PS3 comes back I can prob try replicate it and you can fight it if ya want. Are you the Cody player? Sorry can't remember names of the top of my head
If you're on PS3, I think I came across the same guy. Totaled him with my own Akuma and then proceeded to do the same thing back to him.
Not sure how I beat him, just EX.srk, ground FB's and Focus absorb. I never really have a game-plan though.
I think he's a Mak/Chun player Choco, Loomie's the Cody.

Oh man lol my bad, his name looked similar.
Pretty sure Chun can ultra 1 at the right time to deal with air fireball? And Makotos foward dash should let her get in with some focus dashes.
Oh you've played Loomie's Cody before? Cause I don't think you've met him yet lol It might have been that Tekken player's Cody. But yeah Sata Andagi is the Mak/Chun player.
GGs everyone that I played today. I gave E.Ryu a second try since a certain someone told me that I was playing him wrong but I was still bored as hell with him lol although st.hp, axe kick, cr.mp, lk tatsu, dp is a pretty cool combo. Only need to land it around two times for a stun lol
Damn there were a lot of players today!
Theres a 6k+ point cody player whos name starts with A on PSN. Can't remember it exactly though.
Ahhh zzz another mashup missed. Anyone know how Gen is in Arcade? I've been stuck playing vanilla while my PS3 is away and gotten used to playing Gen. I know he's trash in Super though lol
Haha nah you didn't miss out on any mashups I just went into TZ randomly today. Gen is still probably low tier haha
Oh and how much longer do you have to wait until your PS3 is fixed?

Sent it last Thursday so I expect it back monday / tuesday if my luck is good. When it comes back I am ignoring everything and playing some god damn endless. Tired of playing retard tier Cammy in Vanilla lol
Hahah i hope you do get it back soon since Marvel comes out on Thursday and I don't think many people will be playing ssf4 for a while lol
You should pop into TZ sometime, there's quite a few new players. I played against two different Ryu players, a Guile Player, a Fei player, Kim and Liam lol As for Gen you need to play against Loomie's Gen, it's fucking sick!

I'd love to play a good gen.
Seriously as soon as I get my car, I'm going to be coming out so much more. Just fucking ae, every week I like almost buy a car and then something happens. BUT WHEN I DO, IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS. And I have my MVC3 pre ordered : ) I hope there are lobbys so we can all play together on day 1
Quote from: Chocobuny on February 12, 2011, 10:35:14 PM
I'd love to play a good gen.
Your on psn ay bro? Add crazyandy.Fuck i forgot his actual psn name. He's on ozhadou. Just search for him or something. Best Gen i've eever played. He'll play you too , he doesn't ignore invites either.
GGs today to Kim and to salty Sagat guy. Sorry I made you angry lolol
Soooo, I'm going to try host a mashup this week but it probably won't happen. Someone try host or something
Hahahahaha I played Salty Sagat Guy yesterday. I like how he's like wtf? why isn't my mash TUs coming out during your link combos? Why isn't my full screen random ultra hitting you? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU BLOCKING MY RANDOM SHIT?!?!
Of course he wasn't saying this out loud but his actions certainly did ;D
He actually said 'YOU JUST WAIT!' to me after I beat him twice but I hope he finds the forums cause we need all the players we can get. Then he can level up a bit. I'll tell him next time.
hahaha, Salty Sagat Guy. Love the name's you guys come up with :D
Didn't catch his saltiness unfortunately :-\
OK since Thursday is gonna be the beginning of the Marvel era and therefore SSF4 is pretty much gonna be ignored for a while is anyone keen to go to TZ sometime tomorrow?
Cant do tomorrow got cousins coming down to go to nitro circus lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJFVtF9o-kc

Friday? EB's told me Thursday is Marvels realease. I pre-ordered last week
Well Gamestation said Friday the 18th. :-\
EB aren't doing a midnight release are they?
Who's got 2 thumbs and is interviewing Seth Killian at the Capcom US HQ tomorrow? This guy (you probably can't see it but I am pointing my thumbs at myself right now)
Have to buy stuff for him to sign for mashups. Meeting haunts in the evening so might be on the Starbase arcade stream tomorrow. Sorry to keep clogging thread with adventures, but rad stuff happening and no one to share it with! :o

Hmmmm when I get the game I think I'm just gonna do some undercover training offline for a while. Try a whole lotta shit out and then test it out online in a week or two lol
Other than MightyApe, who else is releasing today?
EBs got PS3 version out today bro
According to their website The Warehouse has it too for $109.
Man the game is crazy, its a little overwhelming how much shit there is lol, gonna take ages to get used to. Pheonix gets killed in 1 combo its a little funny, hulk seems really strong but maybe thats just cuz my movements are real slow atm. Im having trouble finding a team i like.
lol you guys... take a look at the thread title
_b
hahaha whoops, this whole time we've been using it as a "Anything to do with Christchurch" thread. Maybe name change? ;D
Haha, just went to Gamestation. They have it aswell so I hired it out ;D. Too broke.
Turns out they received a 'letter' with their shipment saying they could sell game as soon as stock arrived. Apparently this happens when someone breaks a street date.
If any of you bolos are willing to drop MVC3 for a moment, Redtie and I will be at TZ in 15min ;D
GGs Everyone
Ooooh that Hakan player! Haha we need to get that guy cause man I'm pretty sure his execution was off cause he kept doing midscreen spd instead of his slide. I'd like to hear how much that cab is making, looks like its drawing in quite a lot of players
hmm i really need to get into TZ aye. I still havent seen AE yet. It's such a mission to get to town.. So yeah hit me up next time? (I know i dont show up but I want to though).
Searched all around today. The Warehouse's shipment of marvel for 360 is over a week away. In my depression I bought a copy of Blazblue and got way into that. Anyone up for some Blazblue lol!? god damn that games messed up weird. in a good way.
Yeah you really need to try out Mak. She's waaaay better from SSFIV. It's not really a mish to get into town, there's parks everywhere around the time we go lol I'll flick you a txt the next time we go.
As for Blazblue, Andy is the only one who plays it out of all of us haha
Oh yeah, GGs to everyone! Haha damn I underestimated that Hakan player thinking that he was trolling lol I had to play seriously after he took the 1st round 8) I think I remember him at the Gamestation tourney. He used Gouken iirc.
GG's Filter. That was random as seeing you at timezone, I wanted to keep playing but was with the gf and her friends so had to go. Let us know when your in town so we can all come down. Nice meeting you bro!
Sorry guys, caught Marvel fever... MARVEL BABY! ;D
For anyone yet to buy, it's currently $107 at Warehouse.
Game's so complex to what I'm used to, had some good games with Choco.
EDIT: What day are you back Marc?
Yip back this week. Will keep you posted if I can host. I've had like 5 games vs nor cal's finest I need more training mode ;)
Whoa, ninja post.
Good to hear man, hope you can. Take it easy though - was just wondering is all
Got mine! Thanks mightyape! Who wants to play soon!?
Cool! If anyone can host I'm soooo keen to try out a few things on you guys in MVC3 :D If not then mashups at TZ this Thursday?
Just got wifey confirmation Thurs at mine at 8pm for ssf4 AE dev disc from S-Kill!!!!! Nah just kidding regular ssf4 and mvc3 casuals. No ranbats this week unless you guys want a jokes marvel tourney?
Please txt everyone for me to give em notice since I'm not back till Tuesday. Choco and new blood all welcome :)
Keen for mashups this week, seems the more i play marvel the more i realise i suck at it lol
Keen. I'm going to try sort my stick out. Any guides/links you got Marc for the ps360 pcb?
Awesome, will send some texts around
Also keen. I just bought myself a copy today too :o I can provide console/stick for mashups if needed. We can do a tourney for Marvel if you guys want just for laughs since we're probably all scrubs ;D
My marvel experience thus far:
Me: Holy shit, I have won more than I have lost, convincingly too.
Facing first sentinel
Me: This is the most bullshit thing ever. I may have to return this game.
Seriously.... he has armour on his NORMALS? Both Chun and Amaterasu (Who are the characters I am semi-competent with) die in like one combo rofl. I suck with Wesker, so he isn't too helpful.
So... Moral of the story is... any tips, or should I just return this to save myself some serious rage?

Sentinel is the biggest complaint so far by pretty much everyone, and so there are so many ways being discovered just to specifically counter him. Justin wong has some good videos on frameadvantagedotcom (search it on youtube)
Personally... I'm prob gunna moreso focus on Street Fighter rather than MvC3. Its a fun game but its too fast to really think about what your doing. I understand people like that about it, but I like the mind games in SSF4. Need them to hurry up with that AE console update yo lol. Also MvC3 online is ass, love doing a basic combo with wesker and ending up with standing medium and thats it.

I think only the guys who doesn't have AE at their local Arcade has the right to say that :P As much as I'd like to practice Yun at home I'm liking the vibe I get playing at TZ. They can take their time releasing the update I really don't care anymore lol
Ooooh I keep forgetting to add you two Ramone and Liam. If you guys jump online feel free to add me Ryuuk08 ;)
Well my stick is ready! All goes well. So we now have another dual mod stick on the scene. See yous on Thursday
How's everyone on here doing? Everyone I know and I am okay so far..
Glad you are ok guys.
My mum's has no power, water or phone so they have moved in with us till it's back on. Scott's Staying with us, his flat has cracked open.
So dunno about mashups just yet as people are staying in lounge. I'll keep you guys posted here in case it can happen.
Our place still doesn't have water or power either but other than that we're fine. I'm just hanging at My sister's place again. I think we should cancel Mashups this week and take care of ourselves, friends and families first.
Good call nick. Hopefully things simmer down soon and everyone we are waiting on are alive and well.
Everyone kinda keep in contact though ae, seems like we all have varying degrees of intensity in terms of how the earthquake affected us. I feel really lucky at the moment. I really hope this is the last major aftershock...
Yip no mashup this week. Someone chime in of they hear from Andy.
Glad to hear everyone is ok.
Just to take a break from the drama and to catch up if you guys want. Mashups at mine tonight from 8 only if you guys are free/feeling up to it.
Sounds good man
I text Kim/Andy as they have no net at home
I think I text you aswell on accident ;)
I still got no power and no water again lol But I'll try and make it tonight if I can but probably can only bring stick since my cousin is borrowing my ps3.
Oh yup I can probably make this. I can bring stick. And yes it works on PS3! was holding down the wrong button! haha

We have water so if you guys need showers bring your shampoo and what not and a towel.
I had my first shower since monday today lol feels so damn good.
I can probably make this, will confirm later in the day
Dude, I could go for a shower right now. Also sick of doing my business in a god damn plastic bag >:(
Also, I wish the damn fuel stations would quiet down, I desperately need fuel and not willing to queue.

You can flush at our place.
Nuff said ;)
Yusss I also had a shower today and fuck it felt good even though it was a cold shower on a not so hot day lol Even got to flush too ;D
Now that I feel good I should be able to make it :)
Edit: Oh snap people are here at my sister's place knocking down their chimney since it's bound to fall off if we get another huge earthquake.
Haha, thanks for the offer Marc.
Any displays, PS3 or copy of Marvel needed. Let me know.
Won't be able to make it tonight guys sorry :( I'd love to see mvc3 havent bought it yet, maybe next time :p hope all you guys weren't too badly hit by the quake! I still got power and water so I'm lucky.
I can make it ;D,
anyone know of any roads closed heading out that way?

I was in Ilam the other day you can get to mine just not through town.
And Liam just bring your copy of marvel and super :)
Cheers for touching base Loomie glad to hear your all good. :)
Picking up redtie otw for anyone else in the ilam area
Sorry Raf phone was charging didn't even see it till 9 lol
Good catching up last night gentlemen.
Cool to get some vs games in with mvc3 finally.
Nick your Wolverine Haggar, Phoenix team is nuts. That god damn pipe lol :D I could only lame one win with time out with your Phoenix sitting on 5 meters.
Redtie your Spencer taskmaster team has got crazy lock down happening. You guys are all picking up this game fast.
I really don't have even a vague sort of setup or gameplan yet. I'm just choosing characters from games I like which isn't the best way of going about it. I definitely like Arthur and can lame it out ok. Ammy is badass but high damage requires execution I dont have yet.
I think finding even 1 character that I feel I can gel with let alone 3 is pretty challenging. Guess I should just start grinding through mission mode till I find antics I like using.
I reckon SRK is a more productive way to learn her sheeiit. Just learn the names of her specials and shit first so you know what move they're on about.
Oh and go watch some streams bro. Or some gameplay vids. I just remembered ages ago you told me on PSN you don't like to go looking up SRK and stuff like that so nevermind lol.
GGs everyone. Shot Rafifty for the ride
Its a fun game. Need to learn the rest of my team before I'm jumping online. SRK helps with the assists, think most characters have a assist discussion thread. That was a really quick 5 hours though. Time passes so fast in training mode in this game.
Also, a special shout out to that pipe. And Level 5 Pheonix
GGs everyone, glad that you guys are fans of the pipe and Dark Phoenix ;D Also GGs to Redtie today who has kiiiinnda figured how to bypass the pipe lol
In other news, Yussssss finally got power!!! Going without it for nearly a week sucks balls. Now I can actually play but I'm gonna leave my ps3, stick and mvc3 with my cousin so that he can practice a little more.
Oh and I went into EBs at Hornby mall today and to my surprise they're advertising an MVC3 tourney! Unfortunately the dude who was working there didn't know much about it (Unconfirmed date, possibly no sticks, most likely gonna be held at Northlands EBs). I already signed up and you guys should too 8)
Oh man good find on that tourny. haha you shoulda keep it a seceret lol nah jk.

OOOOooooo we should go to that that tourney :D Bring our sticks etc. Power pimp out NZism and our mashups :D When is it?
The dude at EBs had no idea lol But he said that he's pretty sure that it'll be at Northlands EBs so maybe the guys at Northlands are organising it? I dunno it could even be the EBs guys in town who are organising the tourney but due to the earthquake it's more than obvious that they can't host :-\
When I signed up there were about five names before mine and only recognized one of them (AKA same guy who's been going around to Redtie's for a few games and us teaching him the basics of ssf4 ;)).
Hell yeah, You jacking anything up with Gamestation Marc?
EB can be a warm up for Gamestation tourny :D

Yeah I gotta speak with Gamestation sus it out, will let EB do theirs first then anyone keen from that tourney can come to ours ;)
Hopefully it's double elim and we can use our stick etc. I don't mind lending mine if people don't mash too hard. We should have Ranbats for MvC3 every 2nd mashup.
Lol yeah I'm the third name on the list at northlands! Told me about while i was there trying to convince them to gimme an early copy. Told the employee about nzism too. He said he was keen.
Yeah I went in and signed up for that tourney do. He said most likely PS3 setup and on a Saturday at Northlands.
I said we could help run the tourney if need be and might be able to provide sticks providing that they don't get mashed on too hard. Directed him here too. Could possibly be beneficial for us to help organize and run it because I'm guessing if this goes well then they MIGHT possibly want to host some other tournaments. But this is all just speculation. Oh and we can add players to the scene hohoho
What do you think?
^sounds good man. :) I tryed calling them today but got no answer. Might pop in once work starts back down there. Hayley will hopefully be sending goodies from Monaco for this benefit tourney at gamestation. Will wait for EB to do there's then we'll do the gamestation quake benefit one a couple of weeks later or so, got some cool exclusive stuff from Capcom USA signed by Seth, John Choi, Ricky O and Fillipino Champ to give away as well.
Don't mind helping to run the EB tourney if they don't mind me entering as well. Otherwise I can bring the software and help run brackets etc, also can video matches etc... What's up for grabs? Cash? Store credit? Be cool to play some new players and build the community :D
Oh yeah mashups at mine this Thursday 7:30 :)
I'm wondering where you guys have mashups since town isn't accessible right now.
Gotten waaay too much free time now, want to go to TZ but can't.

We are having a mvc3 tourney at mine this Thursday evening. Have the guys played you at TZ? You are welcome to come along as long as you aren't a dodgy quake looter ;) Pm me your cell and I can txt you all the details.
A new player enters the scene?
Welcome Freedom.
I didn't go to TZ during my holidays. Only found out month ago it had SSF4 AE. :P
Vsed a few players there. I main Fei.
Welcome freedom.
Cool i saw like 3 fei players over the xmas holidays, havent played marvel 3 since last mashups lol gonna get smashed hard.
oh and marc i finished ac:brotherhood, i 100% rebuilt rome and got most the trophys except i couldnt get the ones u had to get from the online multiplayer :-\ cool game though.
Oh sup! Welcome Freedom, I hope that you're joining us tonight :D
Haha I've been playing online for a couple of nights now but only Weazzy and Snake are ever keen to play :-\ Although I did get in a few games with Marc last night which was a good change :) I've got a few tricks I need to test out too ;)
Yer gg's btw. Cool thing about this game is there's so many things i haven't tested out and i still need to try.
I'm trying ways of punishing or mixing up full height super jump dive kicks that you do with Wolverine. I got a feeling it's not supposed to be as spammable. It's heaps better than Akuma's one cos of cross up properties are huge.
ALdo trying shit on Haggar is deadly as fuck. Something not work, your fucked lol.
Man it's just so boring getting the training dummy to do all this shit and try it on them. Although that's the best way lol. I'd rather play one somebody.
I'm thinking everyone is still getting the jist of marvel too.
Thats good cuz i am too, need some practice and all that.

Yeah GGs bro, there's a lot of things I've been doing in training mode but I never do them in our matches. I think you're right, Wolvie's High Divekicks are probably not meant to be spammable although I've stopped doing it as much. lol
Hahaha nice to see that you respect the pipe lol But then you introduced me to the fryingpan.... and Hulk's armour ground bounce move. Dammit haha Buty sorry bro but I gotta admit that I'm doing a juicebox everytime I land Haggar's Lvl 3 on you lol
Also I think you're right about the lag leaving you unable to block at times on reaction. Sometime when you hit me im like "damn, I thought I blocked that. Oh well, I probably didn't react fast enough". I'm no pro but I noticed that you kept rolling forward everytime I scored a knockdown in the corner... Which led to more punishment lol
I didn't know you could punish rolling forward lol. YOu can't can you? Unless with a command throw which i don't think you done on me yet. Does Haggar have one? Would be good oppertunity to use it lol. It's cos i roll forward and you nj pipe with haggar. And i'm never blocking. I'm always trying something stupid. I need to just block. PIPE is gonna win every time lol.
I still do HEAPS of scrubby shit in this game. See those lvl 1 xfactors -accident. random team supers - accident. TWO SNAPBACKS ON THE GROUND almost simultaneously while your on the other side super jumping!?!?! Actually that was me burning metre for style. LOL nah big fucking accident.
Also i got a shitload of free weed and i've been overdoing it wayyyy too much lately lol. That can't be helping either.
GGs to everyone tonight, and thanks Marc for hosting again! Nice to meet you Ray, very nice Zero! You dropped a few combos there that probably cost you a couple of games but I think over time you'll be ridiculously hard to beat.
Ben is a kung for stealing my team that one game and deserves to be hit by a pipe lit on fire with a claw attatched at the end a thousand times.
Beat Wolverine: Check
Beat Phoenix before she turns into mad crazy bitch: Check
Beat Mayor bastard pants with 3 team members remaining:........Pipe. :'(
Yeah GG's guys. Good to see someone else rockin' Zero :D
and thanks for the stick Nick, need some practice on one.
Everyone's picking this game up too damn quickly haha.
If any of you guys care (You guys better care dammit!) KFC in Ric Mall is now open but only until 6pm. So far it's the only KFC I know that is open in Christchurch though :'(
Wow they got lvl 3 KFC open already. Your city rocks..oops.

I gave them a call and they said that the guy that works there who was organizing it hasn't returned to work yet since the quake. That was last week or so, so things might have changed.
Whered u get a TE from?
Up in aux bro at livewire. Only cost $225

Man, I need to invest in a decent Arcade stick.
In the short time I've been borrowing Nick's I've grown to love it. Well, for Marvel anyway.
Mashups as per usual this week? Iain (TZ Balrog) tells me he's keen to tag along.

Yip same bat time same bat channel. 7:30, Thursday my place.
Are we rocking Super SF4 ranbats this week or MvC3? vote?
I'm easy either way. Think I'm forgotten how to play SSF4 ;)
Ummmm what's SSF4 again? lol keen for whatever but if I had to pick I'd say MVC3. I've dropped Wolvie for Mags (been practicing on pad ;D) and would like to test him out on you guys lol
Glad to see you liking it Liam,
I vote for marvel. Because its kewl. Seeyous on Thursday!
edit: Went into Northlands today and had a talk to the guy organizing it. He said a months time, there will be prizes but not confirmed at the moment and TE's will be provided. Well I'm not sure about TE's cause I said I could bring mine and then he said that it wasn't needed cause sticks will be provided. Damn I hope he wasn't talking about those shitty as 3rd Rock sticks that EB's were selling a while ago.
Hey got your txt marc, as long as everythings okay I will try come tonight.
So.. whos giving rides around the Ilam area? : P
Also, fuck marvel >_>;
Im keen for whatever, havent played either since last mashups lol.
@choco Yea im coming through ilam and can swing by.
I will bring my sticks. I can bring xbox but it doesn't have HDMI as its the old model, i.e not good to setup on monitors. Will bring it if needed though just gimme a txt as I'll be at the zooooooooo. And also would be cool to get a ride with someone.
;D
Heading north to visit fam's this avo so am gonna pick up Ramone. Anyone on else out that way flick me a txt. Also Liam's bringing a player from Timezone.
Tonight=Hype!
@redtie i can grab you if ur at hamilton street?
Yes please bro! ;D
Nevermind cant make it tonight sorry guys... I've lost Raffitys number anyone got it? need to let him know
GGs to everyone on Thursday. Wow that was a cool set would be nice to see the vids hah.
I'm making a new secondary team featuring Cap/Sentinel and a decent OTG assist. Probably Wesker.
GGs everyone! Yep that set was good and exhausting haha Feels like Marvel drained a bit of my life span.
My secondary team will be Hulk, Storm and Phoenix aka Earth, Wind and Fire ;D
Ben has nice shorts.
Indeed,
good games fellows :)
Good games Horst and Liam. Liam your Ryu is mighty. Thinking of putting Ryu on my team so I can DHC 3 times properly.
Redtie what was the story with EB again? Gonna bring my own stick to thier tourney anyways just in case. If we both bring dual mods at least our dudes have something to play on.
Maybe they are waiting for more sign ups before deciding on a date. Wanna make sure they have there's before we have South Island Regionals. Wanna make it a 1 dayer. MvC3, SSF4 and MK9 if it's not a pile of shit. Or maybe cvs2 would be cool. But those matches are loooooong.
iirc tourney in a months time. They would provide sticks. But yeah Ima bring my dual mod regardless. Might even switch the PCB so my TE is the one thats dual modded.
Oh yeah MK9 in a tourney ;D Looks fast. Fast is good
As much as I love CVS2 we probably shouldn't run that since hardly anyone plays it. Maybe we should have MK9 regardless if it's shit or not?
If I don't like the game I'm just gonna be a tier whore for the tourney. I'm hoping Kabal or Human Smoke is just as good as they were in UMK3 ;D
Good call MK9 might bring some more people into the community. I guess we'll see for ourselves how good mk9 is Thursday. Hope the Internet doesn't explode from everyone downloading it ;D
Just sayin I would love to play CvS2, even though I've never played it lol. If I can ever come to a mashup zzzz fml. Oh just incase people didn't know the MK9 demo isn't playable online, just single player. So I'm not really going to bother lol, already seen vids of the single player.
If it's not too big then I'll download MK9 aswell so we can rock two at once if need be.
Not to keen on CvS2 personally, but never really gave it a chance though ;)

I used to play it as did Nick and Redtie.
Especially Andy. Used to be "the" 2D fighter of CHCH pretty much and had a good following at Timezone Colombo at it's prime. I still remember 10 years ago when they said they were getting it. I was stoked! We play it at mashups quite often.
I pretty sure you can play vs in the MK9 demo. I think I remember the giant bomb guys playing each other in the quick look they did.
I checked it out last night when I was downloading the Shadow battles for mvc3 (they're scrubs and play like the normal AI lolol) and it seems the MK9 demo is only available for PSN plus members :(

Hmmmmm I wonder how TZ colombo is doing if it's still standing and if AE survived.
Tourney for a SF2'CE cab anyone?

Tourney in what game?
Damon mentioned a while back a ssf4 AE tourney for a sf2'ce cab.
I'm hoping that TZ is ok since people were in there during the eq and they escaped unharmed. I hope they can grab the cabs and move them to Ric mall temporarily for us :D
Right o Moral Kombat demo mashup at mine this Thursday at 7:30. just downloaded demo from US store. Gonna run a for Lols tourney so bring 2 bucks snacks and setups. Try and download tomorrow if you can or leach my wireless for it ;)
Also we should have Jill and Shuma downloaded as well. Should be a good night :) feel free to use this thread or txt to sus out rides etc if need be.
See yous tomorrow :D
Sweet I'll be there! Haven't got an US acc to download MK and really cbf making one lol Who are the playable characters in the demo?
I'll bring my stick HFS3 along. Sadly the guy who i bought the HRAP off hasn't even sent it yet so unfortunately I won't be bringing that tomorrow.
Sub, Scorp, Cage, Mill.
Yeah it should be out tomorrow anyways :)
Keen for tonight, mortal kombat should be a laugh, did the 1 player thing like once with scorpian had no idea how to link anything lol.
Who needs rides in ilam?
So MK is out now? Meh, I'll see if it's worth downloading at mashups lol
Awww I wish Kabal or Human Smoke was playable :(
Ben/Nick can one of you bring your PS3 tonight?
Cheers
Yep I can bring my PS3 but will need an HDMI cable... And a copy of SSFIV. I've seemed to have misplaced my copy ;D
ill bring the hdmi/ssf4
and some shorts
Posted our scrubby MK tourney up: :D
http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,1253.msg62496.html#msg62496
Good Games Thursday guys only 5 of us but still alot of fun to be had. I had heaps of fun with marvel after being a bit disheartened by getting schooled. I'm glad I could hold my own and even convincingly take a few games once I started loosening up a bit. Feel sad dropping Arthur for Ryu but I think it has to be done.
Maybe we should have Super ranbats every second week and break it up a bit. Liam, Ben and Ramone are more focused on SSF4 so it would be good to break it up a bit. I'm sure once SSF4 AE DLC drops we'll be playing that as well but would be good in the meantime till Timezone opens up again.
What do you fellas reckon? I'm rusty as with Super but am still keen to support it if the demand is there.
Good Games everyone! Hmmmm not too sure if I'm gonna enjoy MK9 although I didn't know any combos lol Movement feels weird and attacks seem to come out slow. I'll hire it out when it comes out to give it another chance. REEEEALLY hoping that Kabal is broken like he was in MK3/UMK3.
Marvel was also fun. Sorry I really don't know how to give advice... Especially since I don't feel that I'm good enough to give it to you guys I don't say anything lol But if you're keen on learning Mags Ben I'll try and teach you what I know (Seemed like you're more interested in learning ROM and that's it ;D)
SSFIV sounds good. I'm also hella rusty since I haven't played with Rufus or Juri for such a long time because of AE. Also have currently misplaced my copy of SSFIV and I have no idea where I put it. Damn earthquake made me misplace a lot of things ;D
Well today is the 20th of March... Which is supposed to be the day we get yet another earthquake according to that kung Ken Ring. Chch seemed empty today (Heaps of stores are closed until Tuesday lol) so I guess people have already pissed off in fear. Take care people.
GGs all, i liked mortal kombat the movements were a bit weird but thats why i like the robot guys lol, didnt help going straight from marvel to mk though really felt extra slow hope its just the demo.
I dont mind what we play (super/marvel) i just play for fun, i really needa sit down in training mode in both games but i hate that shit solo so boring lol.
I got multiple $5 bets with my family who left chch this weekend on if theres a shake above 5.0 between 18th-22nd march. Also uni dudes did you hear about that free $500 for uni being shit this sem?
Quote from: Rafifty on March 20, 2011, 12:11:23 PM

GGs everyone. Marvel is too fun and MK9 I like it! Although, please put run back in. Dash sucks in this game. I don't mind playing super hah I even bought a copy of it from the warehouse when it was $35 but still haven't put it in the xbox yet.
Hope you were riding on a 5+ Quake Ben haha.

GGs everyone! Im keen to save up all the money from ranbats for something. Maybe like buy a community monitor or something.
Damn nicks magneto. I think I going to change spencer to doraemon so I get a panic button for when those tri jumps are all over the place. Didn't even hit IM stupid relaunch combo once. I blame the lag or the lack of lag.

We could fully do that if you guys are keen. Though my monitor isn't really going anywhere. I'm going to start keeping track of Rankings for MvC3 starting next week. Lots of fun and lols last night. I'll have to update the SSFIV rankings later. Shall we have the rankings carry over to AE?
I'm keen to save up for a lagless monitor and winner gets to take it home for a week every mashups? Imagine all the coinage ;D
GGs everyone, yusss Mahvel is next week!
See yous at 8pm this week for marvel ranbats and super sf4 and whatever everyone else is keen on. BRING 2 FUCKING DOLLARS :P
Yeah Kungs! I lost my wallet last week and still managed to scavenge around my place to find enough ;D

Quote from: redtie on April 14, 2011, 07:20:31 PM
Keen. Got a new puppy! Need to name him something
Also keen to know - puppies are fuckin' gangsta
We got a boarder collie. Mum was boarder collie x beardie collie and dad was pedigree boarder collie. Drove out to a dairy farm to pick him up. Our pup is like a cream colour not the traditional black white collie, he looks mean as. We also have an American Bulldog pup coming from a breeder in taupo next week fully papered with the ABA too. The dad to that litter weighs something like 62kg. We got the biggest boy too hah. Should be mean as seeing the two grow up. We thinking about getting a manx kitten to complete our marvel team hah
And of course GGs to everyone at mashups today. Was fun testing new team which will probably become my main.
TEAM BEAM!
Sweet! I'll probably come around some time to check out the puppy haha Also GGs everyone, atm no change to my current team for now ;D
Awesome - the collie sounds like a Merle one - my girlfriend and I were looking at some on Trade Me the other day: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/Dogs/Dogs/Border-collies/auction-352891963.htm
The bulldog sounds like he's going to be a monster haha - we have a 7 month old Bullmastiff cross Husky puppy who's up around the 35kg mark and he's still got another year or so of growing to do... he's going to be a big bastard as well haha
Fuckin dogs - so awesome.
Yip, SSF4 is this week. Bring your gear and Snacks and what not.
Redtie can you bring some CvS2 magic on an HD ;) . I also think you, me Nick and Andrew should start sussing out some time to practice up. I need to learn some roll cancelling action and get some character experience. Beware the A/K Groove.
Yup I sure can! See yous tomorrow
Keen for CVS2! Finally got my PS2 HRAP today too. Waiting over a month for it to arrive after winning the auction for it to arrive is not cool and I wish I could give more than a negative feedback.
Just tested it out and buttons kinda feel worn out. Air dashes sometimes don't come out so I guess the next step is to look for sanwa buttons :D
My 2nd stick will probably be an HRAP some day, keen for tonight who needs rides?
Keen! Shot bol. Wheres Choco at?

I chatted to him psn. Hope I've finally perswayed him to come :) especially since it's super sf4 and his cammy has really leveled up. I'll flick him a txt see what's up.
Hokay guess I'm in it. Txtd u raffity to see if I can get a ride lol. When bouts would you be leaving?
Sweet as, chocobunnys for easter mashups,
prolly head to redties like 745ish then swing by yours on the way, so b4 8
kk txt me when uve got raffity and ill wait outside
Haha of course a dude with a handle like "Chocobuny" wouldn't miss out on easter mashups lol Sweet as, see yous tonight!
Almost forgot. Easter prizes up for grabs tonight! Get hype! ;D
GGs everyone! Shout outs to Chocobuny for being a secret undercover beast at games that he "supposedly" doesn't know how to play.... liar.
Guess I just have a talent at mashing electricity or mashing launcher with sentinel....
Hahaha GGs man! Nice to see you come out to mashups! Next week again!
GGs guys. Watching Choco's Cammy was pretty hype. Especially the mirrors vs Nick. Good games. I dunno how you do it but you seem to be able to pull out random chocofactor in every game we played. Never playing Super Turbo or much Marvel but still beating us. :o
Thanks for coming guys, not the best turn out this week but hopefully we get some more people turn out for next week. Thinking of moving it to Friday and doing a Mortal Kombat release mashup! I can't afford to pick the game up just yet but might be able to get a copy for the evening also Redtie and Rafity may be picking it up.
I'm really keen to try the game out though and we'll have a for lols tourney like we did with the demo. Will try and hook up some rad prizes to give away as well.
We'll gauge the interest and might have MK9 at Regionals especially if it gets the numbers up :) Might Make two posters on for SI Regionals featuring all the games and one spotlighting MK and calling it the South Island MK tourney. Maybe call the distributor see what we can hook up.
MASHUPS MOVED TO FRIDAY THIS WEEK. Mortal mashups! ;)
Bring your copies of MK9 if you got em and we'll have a tourney. I'll either be buying it or renting it on the day of it's release so we get some time with it and see how we go.
As usual we'll have Super SF4 and MvC3 running on the side.
Also Andy will be coming so we can get some CvS2 practice in as well. Should be rad as. Will txt you all the details.
Sorry really busy tonight, hope you guys have fun. Getting my copy of MK9 tomorrow
Did anyone get a copy or hire mk9 out? i can hit up blockbuster if we need, i can bring my ps3 if we still need that too.
I rented a copy it's all good :) see you guys tonight :)
GGs last night mk9 actually seems pretty cool and a lot of singleplayer stuff in it aswell.
what ended up being the 1st place mortal kombat prize? i must not of been paying attention lol
Canterbury uni guys, heres the link to the $500 compensation grant, make sure u click bank account haha
https://compensationgrantsandrefunds.canterbury.ac.nz/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fHome.aspx
Fuck yeah! MK9 time 8)
Back to Thursday this week. 8pm start MvC3 tourney this week. Bring MK9 if you have it ;) cellphone dead so can't send out txts please pass on details all that might be interested.
Sweet as! I picked up a copy of MK I'll bring it tomorrow
I picked up MK too, just done the story mode so far, last fight shao kahn was a dick, its pretty much made me hate using raiden now lol
Cheers for the pm Ben :) bring your ps3 if you can. Looking forward to mortal kombat kasuals ;)

Yeah, I think attendance has kind of slipped since MvC3 dropped for some reason, hopefully we get to catch up with Liam, Kim, Andy, Horst, Damon etc soon.... We have MK9 for christ's sake! 4 this week was an all time low :(
I hope the game switching format each week or that all the ranbat money is going to a mashups monitor isn't putting people off. We can always change what the Ranbat money goes to, maybe spot prizes at South Island regionals but it up to you guys what you want done with it. Guys speak up if something is pissing you off or bumming you out.
Would Friday nights suit everyone better?
Like I was saying at mashup I wish we still had AE and an arcade to play at :( Sounded like Timezone was getting a ton of punters ironically while I was away. I wanna run this SF2 CE AE tourney so hopefully TZ opens up soon so we can get some more new blood into the scene.
Mortal Kombat, we'll definitely have at regionals. Game is waaaay to much fun. Gonna do two posters for Regionals, really hope we get some new blood. Shame to see the offline scene shrink after the earthquake after the great momentum we had last year. It might be as simple as people loosing interest in fighting games or having other stuff on.
If anyone has any suggestions to get the numbers up or bring in new blood I'm all ears :)
I'm just being lazy, I gotta bother to make it out more hahaha, I had a good time last time. Although I'm still not a huge fan of MvC3, I just can't seem to really get into it lol
Combination of being either busy or lazy. Currently jobless so living quite frugally at the moment aswell.
Might get back into it when A.E's out.
Cheers for chiming in guys. Sorry to hear your out of work Liam, that must suck. If it's an issue getting to mashups maybe we could get you a ride somehow. You've always been generous enough to pick up people and take to mashups, so we could at least return the favor.
Choco we played heaps of mk last week and will probably be the same this week as well. We skipped the ranbats last week and just rocked casuals. I'll probably make it no ranbat tourney if we have under 6 people.
What if we move it to Friday? Ps3 users could bring their single player games and we could borrow each others games to get over the psn outage. Someone bring an extra console and mk9 please. Game is too much fun :)
I prefer Thursday but if we're gonna get more numbers on a Friday then I really don't mind. I can provide my console but the problem is that since I've never played MK9 on mine I don't have anything unlocked.
I'm easy with either. I can bring my xbox plus games if needed.
Yeah, lets make it Friday and see what happens. Hopefully it's easier for people to make it.
Oh and the South Island regionals thread just got updated with a list of prizes. MK9's New Zealand distributors have come to the party and will be throwing in some goodies, dunno what yet. MK fans prepare yourselves :)
I dont mind which day we meet up, except funnily enough this week i cant do thursday lol
Oh yeah this will be my last mashups before I head to Melbourne next week so I'll probably need some SSF4 and MVC3 training. I probably should spend more time on SSF4 though... So rusty :D
Sorry I'm not coming, have felt like shit since yesterday and don't really want to spread it around. Let me know if you guys had a good turn out tonight though
Back to Thursday this week. Got a bit of a rad annoucement on the cards. Nick will be in Oz kicking some ass. It'll be the last mashup for 2 weeks since I head to Oz next week.
Oooo just heard from nick via flash timezone riccarton has AE!!!! Anyone keen on a mission. Might head down there Friday lunchtimeish. Hopefully we can get that AE tournament for the SF2CE happening! Good news!

Told Nick I wasn't sure if it's AE or not, quote from FB
Timezone New Zealand
Super Street Fighter 4 is now at Timezone Riccarton. For dedicated Street Fighter fans, this is a great improvement on the previous release of Street Fighter 4, and best of all we have loaded the game onto two separate cabinets for better head to head competition.
Haha got nicks message too was about to go down but then had to pick up a new monitor I bought. Might pop down tomorrow afternoon after class
I'm in Melbourne now and will be meeting up with the boys on Thursday to play AE. Sadly I probably won't get the chance to play them at Marvel and what sucks even more is that they're having Regionals for MVC3/SSF4 this Saturday... Which I can't make because of the wedding :-\
Oh yeah Flash did say that he wasn't sure many times but I'm confident that it is AE since they said it's "Super". I doubt they'd have a console within a cabinet but if it isn't AE blame it on me for getting your hopes up ;D
Andy is coming tomorrow for CvS2 practice. gonna be rad. Chime in after you check out AE in Riccarton, Kim said it's Super as well so it's probably AE. Will be heading down Friday night probably for some games.
Good mashups last night gentlemen :) good to catch up with Kim and Andy :) CvS2 still helluva fun. Glad the posters are out in the wild now. Tournament is gonna be awesome.
Heading down to timezone riccarton for some SSF4 AE around 8 might see yous there.
Cool meeting up at the arcade last night. It's awesome we finally have AE back, but I have forgotten EVERYTHING!
Oni seems to have alot of fun tricks adn E. Ryu was fun. Damon was doing pretty well with Oni. Win streaking even!
The Tekken players were having their Friday tournament. Those guys got pretty hype. It was pretty interesting considering it seems their community has no online presence. They had a pretty good turnout too (Jealous much Munta ;) ) so I'm thinking it might be good to chat to timezone about their scene for the 3 Green Bars Christchurch episode. I would be pretty unfair if I said there isn't much of a scene here and not mention Tekken at all which has had a strong following for many years.
Timezone host the tournaments and Timezone is owned by Namco Bandai so that might have something to their interest in it. The scene also seems more driven by the arcade more so than it's players. Also the Tekken scene in Christchurch has never really had a slump or anything in the arcades it seems, so that might have something to do with it.
Having no public spot to meet up for so long and any new games since CvS2 here in CHCH maybe that's why our 2D scene isn't as strong. What I've always thought was funny was the stigma between communities that even I have been guilty of. Even some players thinking the other players game was just "mash to win" lol. Very few players show interest in both games. Ben, Tamate, Nick and Choco can all play Tekken but prefer 2D, but we have no Tekken players dabbling in SSF4 AE for some reason. The tekken crowd is definitely alot younger in general so maybe their first fighting game was probably Tekken 3, whereas we remember 2D games.
My first fighting game was Tekken 3. I only touched SF2 after joining NZism hahaha.
I like Street Fighter because I feel like I have more control over it. I much prefer the different types of play styles that you find in a Street Fighter game and the skill it takes to pull it off. Honestly the problem with Tekken is that it all boils down to a high/low mixup game. It is just not very interesting to me. A lot of the time when I score a hit in Tekken I feel I got more lucky, but when I get a hit in Street Fighter I generally feel like I had a good read on the opponent.
I also think it is far harder to get into the Tekken scene than Street Fighter, mostly because of how easily avaliable information is online. Tekken guides online do exist, burried in forum posts that are usually amazingly outdated. If you are lucky you can find some blurry videos on youtube explaining some stuff. The only series I have seen that explained Tekken to me in a way I could easily understand was the Level up your game series on youtube.
For SF4 you have a decent online crowd, a lot of information available on a fair few sites and countless videos. Also the game teaches you basic combos that you can use, which is just so overlooked. Good luck ever figuring out a Tekken combo by yourself if you are new. Figuring out Zafinas BnB combo is far more difficult than cammys short jab short spiral arrow.
I like both games, I just like aspects of Street Fighter more. Although I have respect for a good Tekken Player.
