Ultra Street Fighter IV

[Nate Dogg III]

Dear Lord that sounds excellent. Does this company by any chance need someone to review videogames for them?

[Camel]

"Brazil!" dan-de-dan-nan-de-nan-de-nan-nan-nan-dum-der-dan

Sounds amazing. I am well jel.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I bet I end up hating it.

[Camel]

That's the spirit.

[Plopboy]

I bet I end up hating it.

I see more if a Ryu man.

Congrats Haggs! Haggfest 2014 in Brazil? I've never been to South America and that would be the single, most-besterest excuse to go.

Free-o De Janeiro

Oh, Tyagi! If you haven't taken the plunge yet, I might be willing to part with my 3DS copy of SFIV for around £10 (+p&p)

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Maybe moving to Rio will improve my connection with Jiro.

[imp]

Congratunathans on getting a cook, haggs. I hope every day becomes Hagg vs Food. I cannot imagine all the Argentinian beef you will likely consume.

[Lyrical Donut]

Also, you're not far away from Uruguay. You can go there and visit wild-sounding shops such as this:

[Qazimod]

Congrats Haggar; hopefully you'll get a super dynamic cook.

[IgTerminals]

Congratulations Haggar.

I hope Rio and yourself treat each other well.

[joeplus]

Congrats Haggs!

Yes, he was in London for a community event for PlayStation All-Stars. Was for the People section of the mag though so it was about him and his whole career really.

Some really interesting stuff about SFIV development. They were really worried about the Focus Attack for ages because characters with fast-recovering normal throws (like Abel apparently) could throw you, immediately charge up Focus, and the level 3 unblockable would hit meaty and you were fucked, it was an infinite. That's why they ended up giving armour break to all reversals, and making backdashes invincible. I doubt that bit will make it into the magazine but I was fascinated.

Oh, and he never thought Fuerte would be anything close to viable at all. And he confirmed that thing about SFXT that I've told some of you privately which I am sitting on for a bit because it's quite a big story. TEASE

Just got around to reading this and it's really good; it's always nice to hear from the people who really care about the genre and want to help it sustain its awesomeness

I have another three-day weekend tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to get some fightings in at some point.

[IgTerminals]

Well, weekends are usually reserved for my wonderful GF.

However, I unusually have all Saturday day and night free for some serious Street Fighting.

Am also free from about 4 tomo.

Guile - tastic!

[IgTerminals]

Made it to semis winning all my matches in monthly Brighton tourney last night, then had to leave before my semi match.

'Cos there is no public transport back from Brighton after 23:30 on any night.

God damn it.

Well done that man, shame to miss out on your semi

[IgTerminals]

Cheers man. It's only a small gathering, I doubt I'd do well at a bigger tourney.

It's soooo nice to play real people without lag, though.

[andygt]

I hope that you told them you had to go home and be a family man

[joeplus]

Nice work Ig! I am 100% sure you would have won both semi and final if public transport wasn't so unblockable.

I really laughed at "go to work and be a businessman" from the last Mike Ross ep. His chemistry with goo was obv the best, but Combofriend is always fun too.

Someone find and quote haggar's amazing posts about Combo so we can pos them again as a leaving present.

That would be cool. I'll PM you as P&P might be expensive. I'm moving to Singapore next week and won't have a permanent address for a month or so.

[joffocakes]

No posts at all today? And I was in work huffing about rllmuk being blocked, thinking I was missing some Friday puns.

I'm gonna play Street Fighter now for a bit. Or SFxT if anyone fancies that instead?

[Qazimod]

"Now" is a bit tricky, but I'll be on like Fei Long later. Or Juri.

[JLM]

In what may be a first for the thread, I have received Streetfighter hate mail via post.

There was a mysterious envelope addressed to Jason "Buttons" C:

Inside was another envelope bearing the following message:

Take that Camel! Tangible, physical rage mail!

Before calling the police, I decided to open the second envelope and found that it contained a delightful gift!

Apologies once again for my horrendous 3DS camera pictures.

Not only that, but the other three cards were in there as well. I have affixed them all to the Chun Li poster a friend imported for me for Christmas. Here is a not very good photo of it. It looks much nicer in person I assure you:

Also I have stuck them down better now. I had to move it to another, better lit room there for the purposes of the photo and some of them came a bit loose.

Many many thanks to Donut for the surprise and for giving away yet more of your amazing Streetfighter tat collection; I owe you many fruit pastilles sir. Also thanks to Alistarr, who was presumably involved in the conspiracy to get Donut my address.

This thread is the bestest thing.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I probably won't be playing until Sunday, when I'll basically spend the day recovering from some kind of wild all-night dance night in peckham and will thus be free to anyone who plays me.

Having said that I might be on later, drunk.

[Camel]

Ha that is amazing JLM/Donut/Alistarr. Jalinut.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Jisnut

[joffocakes]

What an excellent thing. Good work sirs of sending!

[imp]

I am sick, but I might be on later if anyone wants some free wins off old imp, I'm hoping it might distract from my leaky faucet of a nose.

Also Donut is pretty rad.

[joffocakes]

Just got some nicemail!

See? Xbox Live ain't all bad! Also, I like that I get compliments for my Makoto when it's all residual Donut material. I'm the Denis Leary to his Bill Hicks.
