Ultra Street Fighter IV

Do we want to offer Carlito the 16th spot then? The turncoat shyster that he is.

Oh, and wouldn't it be great of some or all of the matches could be played in a lobby? Like a mini, online version of Heggfest.

FYI Nate if I get JLM first round again, I'm buying a lifetime subscription to GamesTM.

I'm actually a mod on the GamesTM forums*, fact fans.

Nate, will you ever speak to me again?

* or I think I still am, haven't actually been on there for god knows how long

Edge 7

[JLM]

Negative Edge.

[Nate Dogg III]

You're both excellent.

Except you, Camel.

[andygt]

If Carlito doesn't take 16th can I get in on this? I play an inept Guile

[Qazimod]

This is surely going to be the hypest(?) event of the, er, month? Perhaps.

I haven't fought any streets lately, but I shall make up for that with a link to a pic of Mike Ross and Ono's left hand. I'm guessing it's a fake smile given his thoughts on Blanka/Honda matchups...

[JLM]

GGs Haggles and Donut!

The best games were the ones after I booted my housemates off the internets and was able to play without horrible, horrible lag spikes. I did some nice Sakura tatsu loops and whatnot, and there was one excellent game where I got a perfect in the first round and then Haggmond perfected me back in round 2. Touché Mister Samuel.

i'd assumed Nate said he'd be locking it down once we hit 16 in reference to an earlier remark about definitely finishing in the top 16? I think. Maybe he does have a stupidly complex bracket set up and he can't handle odd numbers?

Someone should dig up that rough guide to beating everyone who posts here. That was helpful!

[Nate Dogg III]

I was going to add carlito but then I woke up with a bit of a hangover and decided not to bother and ended up playing Battlefield for 18 months instead.

Andy, you're in. Gents, we have a tournament.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

yes ggs jellum. that matchup is a bit of a,mystery to me. really must stop focussing inside cr.mk range.

I did a bit of ranked and met a man with a very good el fuerte. bar plopboy I see about one every three months. total mystery as to what to do there too.

then I found someone who played a turtle evil Ryu, for reasons I cannot comprehend.

[Camel]

When does the tournament start? I'm away for a couple of days as I'm going to a wedding. A wedding in Essex. On a Thursday. In December. Sounds ace, right?

[Nate Dogg III]

I'll do the draw today and we can start tonight, really. But no problem if you're away for a few days, it's bound to take a week to get the first round done anyway.

What does everyone think? FT5? I like the idea of FT5.

[joeplus]

I'm away for the hols but not leaving til just before Christmas, so I can hopefully get a couple of matches in (i.e. be out of the tourney) before then.

[strawdonkey]

FT5 sounds good.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

If I'm playing jellum then I want best of 1, 1 round, 30 seconds long.

[Plopboy]

This is the same for me and I may be away over the new year (though maybe not) but I will fit in fisty cuffs between this.

FT% sounds good to me (I mean FT5).

[Nate Dogg III]

I am doing the draw now. Names on scraps of paper to be drawn from an actual real-life hat. A hat! I say.

Nate posted at 12.12.12.12.12. Well done.

[joeplus]

You should get the Guardian to liveblog it like they do with the FA Cup draw.

THE RULES

Double elimination (i.e. there will be a losers bracket also)

Name drawn first has choice of host

All matches FT5. In the unlikely event of a draw (score at 2-2, fifth match goes to the final round and is a double KO) participants to choose between FT2 RoseBall or Dan-off

All replays to be saved. At least three of us (Ploppers, Qazi-ers, now me-ers) have HD capture cards and we should get that ish on YouTube.

Matches can be played any time you like starting NOW. No deadlines per se but if someone's really taking the piss we'll collectively decide to do something about it.

Hurrah!

Plopboy vs JLM

Oh FFS, what have done to you Nate losers bracket for me then

Do you have a naming convention in mid for the Youtube videos, just so it easy to search for ?

Oh and more questions is it best to do an Endless Lobby with just two people.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I'm going to have to work on option selecting teleports.

[joeplus]

Exciting, good work Nate. Strawdonkey, I've just added you - I'll drop you a PM about fight times and that.

Not being well-versed in replays, what do we have to do to ensure all saved and recorded?

[Lyrical Donut]

Your games will be in your battle log in the replay channel. It's probably best to go and save them once your set is done.

Failing that, we could have a spare slot for one of our capture mans to save out the games as they are played.

[Lyrical Donut]

Upset predictions?

I'm definitely going to be upset if I make it past nuskool and joffo/cale unscathed.

[joeplus]

Ah yes, that's right, not done in a while - and can then send to someone with a good capture card I presume?

[Camel]

I'm going to have to work on option selecting teleports.

I'd better work on mashing harder.

I don't think I'm going to be on for this until early next week as I've got this wedding then I'm out all weekend.

Have I broken the tournament already?
