Man I'm so tempted to drive down there and Viper it all up. Sagat isn't too bad a match for my lady.

I need a baby sitter like no bodies business sometimes. . . lol! Then I can finally get out to the arcades!

GGs yesterday Gino my bro.

I gotta put more time into working out how to fight a good blanka, as the normal anti-scrub blanka tactics kinda wore out during the last match we had. Great matches though.

I'm a little concerned with you picking up crackgief too . . .NOT a good match for me lol.


I'll be down again in about two weeks, probably on a wednesday or sunday, so I'll let you know beforehand.

Good to put on a Viper combo exhibition for the locals too! :D :D :D

Yo! Hamilton crew, I should be down around the 17th of November for a couple of days.

Should be at Timezone most of the day Sunday and Monday... the GF is getting her
(Huge) tattoos finished so I've got time to burn and an allowance to spend. Hope to see you all there.
Title: Re: Street Fighter 4
Post by: Gino on October 30, 2009, 07:22:16 PM
I'll try and make it, might even be one or two others. Sunday isn't usually too busy though :(

Next Monday, the missus has booked in for about 5 hours to get her tattoo finished down at  Skinks tattoo palour in the 'tron, so I'll be at timezone from about 10am til about 4pm at least.

Hope to see some peeps down there. :D

Do not touch the left machine, (the one closest to the racing games).

Why?

Is it on the blink? Fuck that, they're right there, they should fix that shit before I come down (or at least before the tourney/quals)

Hp and Mk have issues. Good luck trying to focus or ultra with any characters.

Title: Re: Street Fighter 4
Post by: fluxcore on November 12, 2009, 06:34:11 AM
Because they don't care?

There are reasons why I never go to that arcade.

Well I explained to the manager exactly what the problem was, but I duno. Basically they are using the wrong sized connections two the buttons so they are loose. They don't fall off but they eventually get dirty and since they are loose the dirt will work itself inside the connection stopping the button from working unless you bash it hard (which 1/2 of players do anyway). I'll mention it again and see if they can fix it.

Props to Alan and Gino today for a great afternoon.

Alan: I owe you at least a couple of drinks for the use of your TZ credit my bro. I was really impressed by your Boxer today, if you're ever at a stage where you're looking into playing competitively again, I'd start with him. GGS

Gino: Great sets versus you yet again bro, Your Blanka is eons beyond anyone else who plays him here or for me at least anyone who plays him online. Lots of mix ups, a solid command of spacing and an immediate and undenibale grasp on his normals. I can't believe some of those anit-airs you were pulling out vs Gief etc, awesome shit. Your Gief is getting ferocious too, nice combos and good use of "the Headbutt" :D Can't wait for the next sets we have.

Give my props to those Honda and Ken players, they were pretty decent, and I had a good time playing against them with both Viper and Claw.


GGS!!!

Glad to see it wasn't a disappointment! The other guys are in awe of your skill. Good games!

Post by: fluxcore on November 16, 2009, 10:09:07 PM
Yeah GGS man, always a pleasure :)
Title: Re: Street Fighter 4

Yo! My Hamilton brothers. . .

I should be down either next Sunday or Monday (the weekend after this one) Keen to play anyone who's down there.

this makes me so fuckin angry

wellington is just as bad if not worse
i know how easy and cheap it is to fix this shit but every fighting game in wellington has at least 1 button or joystick that does not work

i have pretty much come to the same conclusion as you flux and once my coin runs out on my tz card im done with welly timezone
Title: Re: Street Fighter 4

It's mostly all fixed now, the odd problem but much better than it was before

Huh? In my experience Welly TZ is very good at dealing with game problems, I've never known any of there games to be out for long periods of time (as in more than a day), except for the ghosting/colour separation on 3S a few months back, and the current gummy button on 1P FP (which is more a feeling issue than a playability one).

And if you're in Wellington, have we met/played?
Title: Re: Street Fighter 4
Post by: Barnstorm on December 11, 2009, 09:21:28 PM
we may have met i used to have dreads (chopped off a week ago)
not sure who you are tho

i play elena on 3rd strike

prefer marvel and alpha 3

marvel has been broken since i can remember i cant even air dash consistantly (not tri jump, just jump and hit 2punch)

alpha d/f on p1 side is poked

t6 buttons always seem to stick or not work and if they fix them they use fish n chip buttons

and they didnt even get sf4

plus play in auckland and they have good everything
Title: Re: Street Fighter 4
Post by: moose! on December 11, 2009, 09:32:10 PM
Ahhh I think I know who you are- there aren't exactly many marvel players to choose from.

I'm the Remy guy, even though I pick Necro these days.  8)

There was a little bit of trouble with the jab on the side closest to the middle of the shop, but I think that has been fixed now.
Give me a txt when you are there and I will drop on by. Shouldn't be too far away.
