Ultra Street Fighter IV

[ah]

That's a shame because Mr Donut was sharing his technology!

I played Xtekken with Curtis and, while it was a fun time hanging out chatting nonsense, the games were dire. I think the only fun I had was correctly reading evasive rolls. Then played many games of street fighter with imp and joffocakes and donut. After joffocakes had left at one point I successfully landed an anti-air focus attack on imp's Ken and shouted "joffocakes!" in triumph. Ten seconds later imp hit me with walk-up DP and shouted "imp!" in triumph.

Allystarr, all being well I will be back in Leeds by the time of Heggfest and would therefore be up for another via-Manchester trip to London.

Are you ever going to be back on the xbox? It's been three days. Ghost Rider misses you.

[Spuck]

Look at all the fucks this Ryu doesn't give

I've picked up a secret character for Heggfest. Learnt some things this afternoon - combos, safe jump setups, an OS I can't really do, and general tactics. Seems to be working out fairly well online! So much hype for Heggfest mang.

[Yasawas]

At two minutes in against Cody is that him landing ultra 1 off a counter hit EX fireball? I don't think I've ever seen that.

I like his style anyway. F+MP overhead until it's blocked then SRK.

I think I've got it narrowed down to two. I totally mis-guessed JLM's secret character though, so I'm probably wrong.

There's another one of those 25th Anniversary qualifiers happening this weekend, in NYC this time - http://www.twitch.tv/capcomunity

[Qazimod]

Yeah, thanks a lot joe

Prolly won't be fighting today, but recent games have been fun.

[joeplus]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[ah]

Sorry I dodged you this afternoon, imp - I was shutting down just as your message popped up, having already left it too long to get up off the sofa and go help a certain someone with the chores.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

oh shit. guys. my brother is having his 21st birthday party the weekend of the 8th, two whole weeks before his actual birthday. anyway I basically can't miss it on pain of death. Aaaaaargh.

[Plopboy]

[mayor_mike_haggar]

if be were to die before then presumably I would be free

[ah]

Tell him you have friends visiting/make a 2 hour appearance/disown your family/we'll all come with you?

[imp]

I vote for options one, two, three and four.

[imp]

Nate, I was just reading the "why I make games" article in the current EDGE, and I got to Nagoshi. He doesn't end his paragraph with "See you!"

I feel this is a grave, grave error.

He didn't even mention drinking either.

[Qazimod]

Nagoshi was the best. You could read his column and pretend you were getting an insight into the Japanese culture and way of life when in reality he'd be recalling his "bottle of borboun a day" antics.

Way better than Lapin Kojima or whatever his name was *hides*

[Plopboy]

Tell him you have friends visiting/make a 2 hour appearance/disown your family/we'll all come with you?

How about we all go dressed as our main chickens?

[hegg]

Haggs, what does this mean for the people who were gonna kip at yours, still doable? Or should we be thinking about a new date?

[Plopboy]

Hmm that might be a little bit of a pickle. Personally I could do another date at the moment.

[joffocakes]

Oh no! I could do another date, maybe. I've been scheduled in to work on the sunday all of a sudden anyway, so that has to be sorted.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I'll be away the whole weekend I'm afraid, so its a bit of a no go for hotel haggar, especially given potential moving of flatmates around then. if I'm central to it going ahead then basically any other weekend in September is good.

wish he'd maybe told me a bit sooner.

[cale]

I can do another date, if need be. Pretty sure all of September is doable at the moment...

[joffocakes]

Basically the only thing I can't do is not come.

Secret white text in anticipation of filthy joke.

[joeplus]

Could also do another weekend in Sept.

[joffocakes]

I'm sick to the back teeth of Street Fighter anyway.

[imp]

I'm afraid I can't do the weekend of the 14-16 Sept. 31 Aug-2 Sept is also bad since I'm moving in that weekend.

21-23 and 28-30 should be fine though. Gulp, suppose October is fine too.

I guess P4A should almost certainly be out by then anyway. P4A-fest?

[joffocakes]

I don't know how I'd feel about imp not being at heggfest.

Slightly more confident in placing well at whatever tournament we have, I guess.

[MacMantis]

Just popped in to see the news about Hotel Haggs and alternate dates being mooted. Sadly I doubt I'd be able to do any other weekends in September. 14-16th will be occupied with my first 10k run (still wondering what the hell I'm doing there), and last weekend is Rock Club Londons first anniversary event. 21st and 23rd currently looks to be empty but you can almost guarantee I've forgotten something. Can still do the original weekend, but hours of attendance may be somewhat limited due to needing to 'commute' home.

Now the Olympics are over I may even get some custody of the television back.

[Camel]

A later weekend in September would work well for me. Or the first two weekends in - fuck me - October, but not the last two as I'll be in Japan woohoo.

[joeplus]

Hope it's not first weekend in Oct, I'll be in Glasgow surrounded by GPs.
