Ultra Street Fighter IV

[imp]

As an addendum, I talk a lot about how at this point every character in Street Fighter is a cunt - there is something that frightens me about each and every one of them.

In BlazBlue, every character is at least a double, if not triple, cunt.

In summation, I look forward to the next version of BlazBlue, 10 months after it's released on consoles in Japan and the US.

Abel isn't a cunt. He just wants to live with his puppy, and he's always magniminous in victory and deferential to other fighters. Also, his eyes go black.

[TheShend]

Also geldra, do you mean that the clothes would turn freddie mercury's cheeks red with embarrassment or that Dudley would give him a thorough spanking until his bot-bot was red raw, as Freddie was doubtless fond of, the outrageous old fruit.

Amazing. It was only just this morning I discovered a French artist on tumblr drawing 3S Yaoi.

[jiroczech]

I don't want to Google Yaoi at work do I.

Just noticed my P4A preorder was made in October last year. Almost tempted by Game's 12" vinyl, except it's Game.

'Cos that's the sign of a kind, loving person, and not the indication of a malavolent demonic entity scratching at the inside of your skull begging to be let loose on the world.

I thought it was just his pupils going large in the same way that deformed anime characters do when they're trying to be cute

That doesn't usually extend to the whites of their eyes, though...

Large black pupils surrounded by a little white = cute.

Entirely black eyeballs = arrrrghhh!

[mayor_mike_haggar]

He's clearly just high on MDMA.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Or some drug that makes you more agressive yet still gives you pupils the size of saucers. Crack?

Typical French anyway.

It had never even occured to me that Q might have a metal cock until this lunchtime.

Was it opening your lunchbox that gave you this lightblub moment?

[IgTerminals]

Anyone around for some SF? I literally have 0 friends online.

Haggar! Cubana was fully booked tonight. I've ended up with a bland bland Byron burger instead. How wildly sad.

[IgTerminals]

Thanks Mr Starr for an awesome, exciting and fun set.

Combotastic Rufus.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I just got an email from cross counter with the title "goottecks' top 5 hottest girls in games". I really can't even begin to convey the sadness this makes me feel.

Unless it's a funny joke, but I somehow doubt it.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Anyway I hope Ivy is #1

Is that because until that fateful email, you always thought that you might be the one to finally whip that badboy into shape, and convince him settle down in the wilds of New Jersey?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Oh no! Imp I think our fates are somehow intertwined. I tried to get into Honest last night, but they had an utterly intense 90 minute wait and Burger and Lobster was profoundly full, so the girl and I ended up going to Byron for one of their acceptable-but-not-what-I'd-come-to-Soho-for-burgers. Profound blandness.

Tougeki/SBO is on hiatus. There's a piece about it on the SRK frontpage but can't link becasue forum.

[IgTerminals]

So... Why? What are the extenuating circumstances?

Should we be worried about other events going this way?

[joeplus]

Is that the one that some genius decided to hold outside and and the sun glare ruined everything?

Last call for league sign-ups by the way! Want to get organised this weekend.

HYPE!

Nice thing about a league is that I will get more games (too lose)

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I think given the complete shambles that was last years SBO this isn't too big of a surprise. Might just be that they end up having a fallow year or whatever.

[IgTerminals]

Is that the one that some genius decided to hold outside and and the sun glare ruined everything?.

Wow. For real?

[joeplus]

I think there were marquees and that, but when you're dealing with the morlock eyes of the pro gamer even a bit of glare is gonna upset people.

[Nate Dogg III]

That's right. Glare until the sun went down, and then the bugs came out.

It's had problems for a few years too, as I recall. Didn't someone fly all the way out there only to be told they'd lost their place?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Yes, banana ken and hsien chang got utterly screwed over last year because the tourney organisers screwed up and allocated one too many places or something, it was a massive balls up basically. And weren't there loads of cicadas in the cabinets or something. And the network was shit and ruined loads of matches.

Basically it was organised only slightly better than SVB

[joeplus]

So, assuming there's not a huge rush, it looks like we could do two leagues of 11-ish players. If we do one match per week, home and away, that's around 20 weeks - perhaps with a couple of break weeks for catchup purposes, so realistically getting on for 6 months. Is that too long? Should we try for two a week? Or three divisions?

Possible problems include people not being able to connect, but that should only really affect a small number of matches (and you never know, if there's an IRL meetup sometime this year we could always do some league games then). I suppose we need a rule for that though, I'll think on.

I'm happy for people to play catchup on matches/do some in advance too. And if people have to drop out, we can just call it a walkover - with a longer season that'd matter less.

[Plopboy]

If we had three divisions the league would be quicker which would mean relegation and promoton would happen more frequently but the you would play against less players I suppose.
