Ultra Street Fighter IV

[Nate Dogg III]

This is all making me feel stupid. I know that there's a basic ruleset for cryptic crosswords that I could probably understand if I needed to, but it's all just so confusing.

Imp, you just caused me to spend £14 on the Tenori-On thing. I could play with that all day. Controls are dead unintuitive, though.

[Qazimod]

Adon?

Winner! (explanation below for those who didn't get it)

"a don" = mafia boss, "jaguar kick" = booting English sports car

[joffocakes]

Okay, I'm crap at these, but anyway.

Mafia boss boots his English sports car (4)

Adon? Maybe?

I'm late. And I agree with Nate in this all making me twist myself into a tangled wee knot of frustration. I'm enjoying it though.

Camel, the one he spoiled was the answer to an initial letters clue. The key in that one was "to start". The first initials of "talking hurtfully about winston's kids" are thawk, which spells T.Hawk, who is a brave.

Sorry! It is fun though isn't it. Also, it does the same thing as buying the real piece of hardware, which costs something ridiculous like £400. But yeah, the whole hold to press a button down thing takes a while to get used to, and all those confusingly laid out and labeled L and R buttons are also a pain until you start to remember what does what. Still, plinky plonky heaven. (4, 4)

[Camel]

ok I'm less baffled now, but still mildly baffled by the (4,4) that followed Jiro's spoilering of the answer part of the clue.

Is this a canopy we see before us? (5)

[jiroczech]

I'm just going to start adding numbers in brackets to the end of all my posts to fuck with people's heads. (2,2)

ok my bafflement has been cured. I like how your intent was to fuck with people's heads, Jiro, and you did exactly that. I stupid.

And Haggar, yes!

Donut! Forgot to give you this, from last week:

[jiroczech]

The means to pull off a cunning stunt initially exchanged to reveal his true nature (5).

[joeplus]

Guile? Not sure why though... something to do with him being ugly?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Christ, I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to think of spoonerisms.

[jiroczech]

Joeplus - yup!

the means to pull off a cunning stunt = guile, his true nature is a stunning cunt = Guile - which isn't quite an initial swap... but hey!

I feel so proud. Thanks Jiro.

Also, this is all teaching me loads about cryptic crosswords. I doubt I'll be able to apply it to real ones but real ones won't be as interesting due to the lack of SF related answers.

Although you should have a definition there, otherwise it's not really sound

[Camel]

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Grab and spin the thick wort (4,5)

[Camel]

Tick throw!

[TheShend]

The best crossword clue I've seen is in the spoiler, not SF related.

(1,4,3,1,4)

[Goemon]

Please, take my money...

[Plopboy]

Just awesome

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Quite oddly, I was going to play street fightings last night, but then watched duck soup instead.

I could dance with you until the cows come home. On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows till you come home.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Hang on wait zangief isn't a bad guy wtf.

Honestly.
