Ultra Street Fighter IV

[joffocakes]

Ooh. Skatan chunnin' it up. Lovely hurtbox lowering shenanigans.

[imp]

Yes! Someone picked up the knife on stream!

[JLM]

Skatan going back to Chun warms the cockles of my heart.

Also my Wii U isn't here but the games and accessories are. This is not ideal.

[imp]

I have also been somewhat disappointed by the postman today, but that sounds painful indeed. I had a PS4 controller arrive in the post yesterday though. It's well nice. Hope someone makes a proper driver for it for PC soon so I can use it on all those lovely 2D indie games. Lord knows I won't be using it with a PS4 for a good long while!

Diego Umejuarez is my favourite new name for the man. Well done stream monsters.

[joffocakes]

Someone's had Diego Umejarez on Xbox Live for a while, I think. I also like Pierre Balrog.

[imp]

Oh that's pretty goddamn fantastic too!

Ugh. 3 overheads in a row. NGGGHHH!!

[JLM]

Yeah Diego Umejuarez is a German guy who plays pretty much the entire cast rather well.

Daigo vs. Ordinary player X can be so brutal, simply because when you get outplayed by Ryu it's so glaringly obvious. It's not that you got vortexed or beaten by new tech. you hadn't seen before, he was simply two steps ahead of you at every turn.

[imp]

Jumping neutral HP into far standing HK? Thanks for the tech Gamerbee!

...Charlie?!

[joffocakes]

Ixion time! Yeah! Let's see his anti-Bison tech!

[strawdonkey]

Incredible Ixion hair.

[joffocakes]

Incredible Danning from him. I really hope the Ultra dankick change doesn't ruin him.

[imp]

I don't think it's possible I could enjoy watching Ryan Hart any more than I do. Anti-air elbow? Goddamn!

[JLM]

I could watch Louffy beat Fei Long players all day. Beautiful.

[imp]

Ooh, Poppy (InfiltrationSlayer2012) vs Xian on now!

EDIT: Great match, one to look out for, for anyone intending to watch the archives.

[Plopboy]

I saw the last round

Perfect

[JLM]

Louffy

Exceptional play there, loved him adapting to Xian's relentless focusing to force Gen to play footsies against Rose, who can more than hang with him in that area. He also did a new variant of the Louffy special in the corner with the ambiguous jump fierce because he knew Xian had seen his usual one. Love that the top 16 matches are 3 out of 5.

Oh, and Ryan Hart vs Tokido was amazing, particularly the round where Ryan went rabid and channeled his inner Sanford. Only Bonchan has a realistic argument against Ryan being the best Sagat in the world at the moment.

Also everybody watch Gamerbee vs Daigo in the archives. Oh my days.

[Plopboy]

Diago Vs Gamerbee, quality finish form Diago

[cale]

Sorry, I'm always behind the times on this stuff. Is this just a one day event that'll all be archived?

[Plopboy]

archives will be on youtube at some point, I think

[imp]

Sorry, I'm always behind the times on this stuff. Is this just a one day event that'll all be archived?

Yeah, they're playing all the way to the end today.

[joeplus]

Watched a few matches but hopefully I can dip into the archives tomorrow.

[imp]

Ugh, too hype for this match, I have no idea who to cheer for!

[imp]

Oh my god.

Raggo Umehara.

[palaver]

This tournament has been fantastic. Although stream chat still makes me want to kill myself.

[ah]

What is this, don't bother with spoiler tags day?

[imp]

No, it's a centre for ants.

[strawdonkey]

The finals are a must-see. Mind-boggling.

Also British commentary is the best.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Brrrrrrrap.

Why can't you watch archives on the wretched twitch app

[strawdonkey]

Faaaaack

[imp]

Oh man, clips of S.Kill and and J.Wong on this Charlie Brooker show. I'm expecting Nate to pop up at any moment.
