This tournament is the best. You should see how it was 10-13 years ago. It will be even better when there is another and you'll get better matches when other character players are there. The time for training is just too short for other characters to shine.

Don't forget SF4 is only available for us on Febuary 2009. People on overseas get to play it on the arcades somewhere on June 2008. It takes time for us to catch up with them if you wanna see the true skills but of course older players like me will have a wall.

Yeah that Ken very friendly XD

omg!....a real life sakura!!!!!!

Yesterday's tournament was great! Props to Alan for making this tournament!

The most awesome thing is you can see all the players improve drastically those 2 days! I was doing really well during the first day's warmup session, but toward the qualifiers I start feeling the pressure...and subsequently getting my ass handed to me eventually during quarterfinals by Kian Chuan's Blanka. Guess there were so many Zangiefs that tournament everyone already knew all his tricks by the time the second day came.. My crossups, tick-to-piledriver and random EX banishing fist don't work anymore

Really enjoyed myself those 2 days! There should be more like this and I look forward to it if there is. Tekken 6:BR is coming up in October *hint hint*

Added on March 2, 2009, 4:47 pmEasiest way I found for this is to wait for the first 2 hits (2nd hit will whiff) then tekan the kick button all the way until the ultra ends. Also don't forget to do the headbutt by charging down-back , then up-back +punch to maintain the charge for the combo to Ultra.

Added on March 2, 2009, 4:53 pmDamn my little brother got all the glory huh..well, I can understand..his focus cancel to Ultra is pretty slick..I've been on the business end of that trick so many times against him.. i think he's the only guy in the tourney that can do that.

Yeah, I know you have to hold the button down for the easiest way to get the uppercuts to come out.

There were other tricks I wanted to do with Balrog, but they were nigh impossible on pad. Sigh.

Time to invest in a stick? I'm a Balrog player myself. Couldn't make it on time for the Tourney on Saturday due to work. Sigh. But played a few quick casual match during the breaks.

Should we do a freindly matches NEXT WEEK in Outpost? Please let me know and PM me your:

Please view it here:

Damn intense match!

When do you want to have it next week, Alan?

I probably will be busy most Sundays, though Friday/Saturday should be fine.

Watched the video, good match (no ultras performed though lol not that it matters anyway ). A blocked/whiffed srk's extremely punishable its better to sadc and lose 2 ex bars than eating a free combo imo. Though I know at tourneys as big as this sometimes people lose focus and stuff happens hehe no disrespect to anyone.

alan, how bout videos of semifinals ? Im sure they're as interesting too

i have some of the videos, i think one semi (balrog vs ken) and the 3/4 position fight (balrog vs blanka)

the thing is, i need to convert and upload, and upload has failed 3 times since last night. so give me some time.

i was 1 of the contestent which was knock out at the very 1st round on knockout stage:P

I was knocked out on the 1st round too... By 3 revesal/counter ultra combo finishes from Ken, sad. I used Akuma. My English name is Carl (and I'm Alvin's younger brother).

Thank you Alan I loved the tournament and it was my first competition appearance for fighting games . I loved the experience.

Sounds good... my internet connection really blows so I can't sign in to PSN, can sign in also get shitty one-bar connection; this could really help a lot.

And on the next tourny please don't make it arcade stick only. I will never get used to arcade sticks no matter how much I try. And trust me I tried.. Prefer the good ol' trustworthy joypad to pull off my stuff. Too used to it.

My bro's interested in getting one of those joysticks though. How much does one cost?

friendly match? next week?

hehehe

i think for me n my frens wont b going lah,
we going back for KOF,
since we r kofer.

sf, is a bit difficult for us.
since we usually play kof.

but of coz, i still love to use Zangief!!
Zangief forever.

hopefully TimesSquare will really get the arcade machine,
then we can play KOF n SF at there.
hehehehe

-------------------------------------------------
swatwolf, those photo so good,
if u dun mind, i would like to (curi) take some for collect.
hehehehe

No worries - next tournament - I will devide into 2 groups...PADs and Sticks...

Probalby ....
