...but in the end you were the one that is most consistent when it comes to the move with the biggest damage output.
when you are not missing the ultra, you actually have a very nice trump card.
i think you only missed once with the ultra juggle.
what was it?
this one?:
mp>t.uppercut>FADC>F.HK>Utra?

I too need more exposure. I keep forgetting to tech throws and usually fail to see them coming anyway. I'm also too used to the bad habit of using the 4th H button for 3xP moves eg. Ex, Ultras. Should get that habit corrected soon, else i keep "feikei" the important combos during outings such as this one 

rawfish got some nice fake moves for tricks, too bad i can't follow such plays as hands not that flexible been a while havn't played with ya and that was not you a few months back

Rawfish, regarding the sagat FADC'd Tiger Uppercut, sometimes when i execute that move, the opponent is spinning like a corkscrew which prevents the f.HK frm connecting properly.
Any chance u know why as a Sagat expert?
Damn, u guys having fun with all the mini events and stuff...
Wish i could join... become punching bag oso kam yen ar...

So are you saying that rawfish was angry??

I understand your company's position and affiliation with Sony and I'm not sure if your/our voice can be heard - I do foresee more SF tournaments and gatherings happening soon. Street Fighter is the new Winning Eleven, to the general Malaysian populace. It has fans as long as over 20 years and to them it is not only a game, but a lifestyle. I believe I speak for others as well - generations of youths have one time or the other frequent the local arcades. Friendship and even careers had been forged (I used to work for the local Capcom arcade distributor in my earlier days). Even with its demise, these gamers have moved on to other platforms. This fact is supported with the remarkable re-emergence of the Street Fighter scene, locally evident in the PS3/XBOX/PC threads in this very forum when SF4 launched. Sales alone do tell numbers and I believe Sony knows the figures very well. They should also check with The Software Boutique for the PC sales figures alone this month.

I am not certain if Sony has every right regarding licensing issues over the use of Capcom games here - they seem to be clearly riding on its success, appeal and publicity. I have nothing against them doing so, but I wish - I simply wish, that more can be done.


THE MONEY FACTOR (or, "How can Sony organize a successful/profitable tournament/event?")

1) Simply continue what they are doing. SF4 is a winning formula itself. The brawl-factor to attract the crowd. Flashy Ultras. It's thumpin' loud. Gorgeous graphics on Bravias. Exciting match-ups. Beautiful finishes. Nail-biting tight fights. This is just the appeal factor.

2) Do more. If you want to do something, do it right or look bad otherwise. Draw in the fans - aren't they not part of the crowd as well? Do them a favour for their support. As an SF-fan, I supported Sony because I wanted to play the game on a PS3. I bought a Bravia because I wanted to experience gameplay in HD. I became a MySony member because I wanted to tune in to more news and even be in the loop for any warehouse sales where I can purchase good deals on more of your items. I bought games from Sony Style because I thought they were cheaper than the grey-importers (before the price hike happened). My main intention is to highlight on brand loyalty. Coming back to the choice of controller in tournaments/events, I have no issues with having to play on pads. I do have issues though, with having NO OTHER CHOICE.

3) Arcade sticks - This is how Street Fighter is meant to be played. At an advanced level (read: not mashing) plenty of techniques are only achievable via input over the arcade layout. To a random passer-by, this is not applicable. To a player with a pre-determined mindset to participate in the event and provide his/her full support, this means a lot. It is a known fact that Sony has no arcade stick line in their catalogues - nor any profit/demand-driven business need to do so. Hence, I do not expect for sticks to be provisioned, as this may be result in a marketing incongruence (non-Sony accessories). I do expect to be able to bring my own sticks in future Sony-sponsored or Sony-organized events and be given permission to plug them into the consoles to play. After all, the companies manufacturing these accessories have already procured licenses with Sony so I do not see any reason other than endorsement issues which Sony thinks are getting in the way (this brings to question, on why Logitech Wingman steering wheels were used, for previous Gran Turismo events, since the game is playable no pads as well).

To develop the level of interest to a higher plane (to Sony, it's to drive more people to their booths and products lineup, strengthening of their brand), respect the fans and respect their choice. Respect their preferences. Organize it well, or others will one day step up an do it instead and make you look bad in the process.

I will treat this as an open letter to Sony Malaysia and will look at carrying this message across as and when needed.

I'd like to thank you as well for viewing this in a positive manner. My friends and I agreed that this was a well-organized event, but as an SF-event perhaps more can be done. You have all the elements except full knowledge on the subject matter i.e. how the game really is, or should be played.

To be fair, I think its objectives (The Mines tournament) were met, where the results matched its scale. People did turn up, and for a tournament this size (50 people odd) it did generated a decent-sized crowd.

Bola-11's been the media workhorse for the PS2 era. But no kid's gonna drag Mr and Mrs Rich Parent to any screen with regular humans on a padang. So is there a redirection to get more people interested in Rock Band and fighting games, due to a broader appeal (to kids, teens, and those still young at heart)? If Sony really wish to make SF, and the upcoming KOF12 and Tekken 6 games a unique marketing and publicity tool, they really need to get accustomed with the fighting game scene and local gaming culture. Nothing else shows off the Bravia like a 55" X-series smack in the middle of the stage, in a mall's atrium area - with lower-ranged models for people to habitually make direct comparisons. In the current economic climate, money no pohbrem wan! As long got nice LCD TV is ok. Sony terkenal 'ngan quality. And nothing draws the crowd in like people bringing in their own weapons of choice (read: arcade sticks). You want proof, just ask your staff during the Mid Valley Marathon (I feel like a broken record repeating this) on how the crowds gathered.

I hope Sony is able to continue with their commitment to organize more of these fighting game tournaments. But you already know the sales figures for SF4 here in Malaysia - hence having tournaments to also gauge the response too, right? If you want additional numbers, dip your toes into the local forum pools to get a better view of the business. Sony can never penetrate into the WCG gaming domain, dominated by Intel, ATi, nVIDIA and other big names in the PC business. And people love anything competitive. SF is a perfect competitive tool and all you need to do is reduce the opponent's life bar. Respect the fans, and in return the fans will give appreciation and a good show - something money cannot buy. This is how brand loyalty is built. Do a good job, and leave the rest to media coverage to really get the ball rolling.

P.S. On the Facebook page, I got the message "The page you requested was not found".

yeay my new weapon!



too bad i cant join the tourney 

Bro, do u mind let me join the ex. Shadolo gang gathering if there is one? I don't mind being punching bag as long as I can learn a thing. Or two

I really wish to spar ur fierce sagat but got no chance

Anyway, do u guys held this kind of gathering often? Did love to join if there's one if u don't mind me noob

Kudos to the organizers for bringing the tourney to the people!

It's pretty tough to get good competition with the lack of SF4 machines in the arcades. Hopefully these events will bring more people to the game and increase the level of SF4 competition in Malaysia!

Great pics! Hopefully videos will be a norm in the future events!
