Oh finally ive found this thread. xD

Couldnt make it to the 2nd day since Ive fallen sick (was already sick a day before the tourney but since i was desperate to get my SFIV fix, i joined anyway, heck even bought a stick, though ive only won once out of six matches T__T), I'm sure the matches're all exciting and regret not being there. Nonetheless, I'm glad to see that we now have a SF4 scene and i could only wish it to get bigger.

Nice meeting most of the guys at the tourney, I'm leaving back to Japan in 2 weeks and I was hoping maybe if there're any more tourneys/mini tourneys or even casuals, do let me know.. Id like to practice my Abel more, need to get back on my game .

Last but not least, mad props to the organizers for organizing the event. Despite a few setbacks, I think overall its a well managed event.

We need more of this kinda thing in Malaysia!

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 wanna go to the friendliessssss. but i cant practice anywhere so i'll practice then then. haha. dont bully me alright . (but im goin back to japan on saturday morning so better be on weekdays!)

hmm, i might drop by tomorrow then (thurs).. need my fix badly. eddy you were the one using abel the other day right? a good one too. maybe i can learn something regarding execution from you. btw 4pm until what time ah you guys play? lol

im down with anything as long as its before 14th march LOL

lol got my ass handed to me by tristan today haha. i need to practice more and get used with my hrap3 soon... gagaga

the nasi lemak was dope though!

im hoping to get to play again sometime next week, though i think im only free next thurs. so whoever's going to either freddy's place or outpost, do inform me and im so gonna be there...

just thought of sharin an old video of me playing...

lol we were both scrubs in that vid. though i have to admit that im more comfortable playin on arcade sticks(the positions of the buttons are just nice)... console sticks, been havin problems gettin use with the height of the stick(arm placement etc) and movements, but i'll learn to get used to it... i gotta. . no excuseeee.

lol the shit i took this morning is better than legends of chun li XD

eddy: yeah haha though its harder to practice with a ps3 stick but no ps3 , goin back to them arcadesss soon, will up more videos (of improvements hopefully haha)

p/s- is there an official sf4 thread here or summin, this is the tourney's thread aint it?

alan, can i come any other time and play?

lol too bad then, leavin the country next sat..

good luck then(with the events and stuff)! maybe we'll fight again someday haha

im planning to buy one soon. already has a HRAP3 stick tho bought for the tourney the other day lol.

goin back to japan. its currently spring break.

lol still studying, going into my final year though.

the sf scene there is crazy yo. im glad we also have one, albeit a really new and small group but from what ive seen things are proly gonna get better soon.. heh

I believe as long as we have people/competition and the dedication.. We can be as good as the Japanese, they are only ahead because they get a way earlier headstart. Its just natural that they have lotsa great players there.

But i have to admit, the gap is still big.

lol we're not talking about fighting AIs though, its not the same...

anyway yeah, zangief is tough to master but the payoff is good.

lol if its a fight club then you cant talk about it = thread dies.

lol crouching unblockables. what a fancy way to call an overhead attack heh

just got back from my first arcades session after a month hiatus, learned some stuff from a vega(dictator) who taught me how to counter his moves etc. he used to play blanka but he said blanka's boring haha. i need to work more on my defense..

one thing for sure, playing on the arcades feel much nicer than on HRAP3, everything is just smoother i dunno

aiman: If im not mistaken, japanese standard's square too. Anyway yeah maybe its the buttons and the whole thing itself moves when i play haha.

rawfish: yeah the arcade near my place is the taito viewlix, everything is damn nice (buttons, graphics etc). no words can really describe that. but not everywhere is like that. the place i usually go for freeplay nights(at shibuya) uses some ghetto cabs, lo res and not so good buttons.

since im still on hols, i might wander around other arcades to fight others and learn. since my weakness currently is defense and i cant really learn defense from fighting arcade's cpu, i'll go to arcades with lotsa people and crazy competition, might cost me some money but like they say, no pain no gain XD

though when im broke i'll just go to my friend's and play on ps3 haha. but whenever i can afford it, arcades the way to go for me..

lol im enterin some beginners tournament at Nakano TRF(tokyo ranking fighters) tonight, sorry to say i cant aim to win yet, maybe just get experience and learn more about my matchups.

plus "beginners" in Japan = under 20,000BP and there're lotsa crazy players in that range haha. but hey, im hopin to improve more by playing better players.
