Ultra Street Fighter IV

[JLM]

I am preparing for the worst bit of my annual trip home for Christmas; visiting the Aunt and Uncle I really really dislike. I have made sure to give them cards that have lots of glitter on them, because everyone hates glitter.

[joffocakes]

Imagine the excess glitter that flecked off in the envelope spilling out onto their freshly hoovered carpet and dull grey slippers.

I just found out that someone already has a beer called Ayebrau, so that's my late last night idea for a business knocked on the head.

[Camel]

I'm going to pm Nate my choices now

I have just done this too.

[JLM]

That's exactly the sort of thinking that will get me through the day Joffo. I hope they also get a little bit on their hands/faces and find it near impossible to remove.

[imp]

Did either of you option select your choices?

[joffocakes]

I still need to get a man to capture my cale and JLM matches. When is good?

[imp]

Also, the winner of Caggar has to fight Imp for the right to fight Sith. Bracket of death.

For the right to fight JLM in winners finals. Ouch.

[Camel]

Did either of you option select your choices?

Yes, I have sock for the first round.

[imp]

Is that where you plink rock with scissors?

[Camel]

Yep. I decided against a rock/paper combination.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I cancelled most of my rocks into scissors

[Nate Dogg III]

Paper

Paper

Rock

Here we go:

1.Rock

2.Rock

3.Scissors

3-0 Haggar. Amazing that you both went for the opening double fakeout mindgame there. Also profuse apologies because I had this awesome blow-by-blow post with loads of Pokémon references but I accidentally closed the tab before posting. This will have to do.

I have updated the bracket. Haggar v Imp in Winner's quarters; Camel v Alistarr in Loser's.

[Camel]

Hot dang. Well played haggar.

[Camel]

Alistarr, I can be around late tonight or late tomorrow night. After that, Tuesday is good.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Nobody ever expects the double paper opening. Gg camel.

Imp, I'll be available to eat dragon punches through block strings from maybe tomorrow evening, depending on public transport.

[imp]

I am in the same position, but with cannon spikes.

[joffocakes]

Brilliantly played Haggar. I just realised how ridiculous it is that I consider Paper to be the worst.

[Lyrical Donut]

Naaaaaaate. Fights?

[ah]

Alistarr, I can be around late tonight or late tomorrow night. After that, Tuesday is good.

I'm off work until Wednesday so may well see you this evening or next, or indeed Tuesday. How late is late?

[Nate Dogg III]

Pauuuuuuuuuul. I am still riddled with parents. They're off tomorrow morning, though. You around tomorrow afternoon?

[Camel]

I'm off work until Wednesday so may well see you this evening or next, or indeed Tuesday. How late is late?

After 10 when Camel jr is in bed. Is that ok?

[Lyrical Donut]

ALRIGHT, THAS COOL*

Well, it might be. I was supposed to go and see my brother but he, his girlfriend and their cats have actually banned me from visiting until I stop oozing mucus everywhere.

*Third Strike voice

[ah]

After 10 when Camel jr is in bed. Is that ok?

Oh yeah, either tonight or tomorrow will be fine.

...So long as I don't get stuck playing The Walking Dead forever. Curse you Imp (and possibly Haggar too, unless my memory has betrayed me)! Girlfriend is already addicted.

[cale]

Ja, there needs to be more vids uploaded to the tournament channel soon. I'm itching to see some footage of the battles that've been happening, so long as they're not mine. Can't wait for the rock, paper, scissors vids either.

[TheShend]

Amazing yomi Janken from the Mayor there.

Has he perchance recently started watching Hunter x Hunter?

[joeplus]

FT5 rock paper scissors has legit become a pub pastime in Sheff this christmas. And yes, paper is high tier but slept on.

[Camel]

Alistarr! I should be on in about 20 mins. Apologies if I don't stick around for long - I'm still feeling a bit crap thanks to the flu that Santa brought me.

[Nate Dogg III]

I see Santa also brought you Saints Row 3, Camel. Let me know if you'd like a co-op buddy, that game is tremendous, batshit stuff that I'd be only too happy to play through again.

[ah]

I got Saints Row 3 on Steam the other day. No intention of playing it.

Camel 3 - 5 Alistarr

Some crazy stuff happened in these games - I'm a bit of a wreck now! My footsie Rufus really struggled to out-footsie Camel's Dhalsim (obviously) and the games I won were mostly the ones in which I just went dumb. Some very nice setups from Camel and a lot of tense moments as we went back-and-forth knowing that either of us could die in the next exchange. My own proudest moment was actually landing Rufus' bread-and-butter combo in one of the games. A pleasure to get some games with you too - we rarely play outside of a certain building in London :-)

In the post-match casuals Camel hit me with Honda's Ultra 2 twice three times, which hopefully eased the pain of defeat.

[imp]

You mean you landed the fabled dive kick into cr.LKx6?
