London, Wednesday 28th June

yeah Myke and his kage is very cool,
hadn't taken a beating like that in a while, but the challenges were alot of fun, matches will be up soon /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

great games Myke, your defense is rock solid and a good understanding of the game as a whole shown how limited my options of attack were, since i rely on reflexes more than knowledge based in frame advantages and disadvantages situation.

we finally had one visiter in UK and it's a refreshing experience for UK players to improve their own game, i really hope more players will join us soon.
playing the same circle of players every friday night, it's hard to break bad habits if we don't have enough variety of players to absorb new techniques.

i've learnt more from challenging Myke than a week of practice on my PS2, hope tournaments like RB will bring more players around. talking about RB, what happened to it??? no more monthly gathering? /versus/images/graemlins/tear.gif


ah... having one machine is a pain, and the sticks is an embarrassment, but i guess Myke got used to those loose sticks pretty damn quick. i got hammered, but next time ... i'll be alot better!!! practice...practice...makes perrfect!!


can anyone here host my matches i captured last night? i could burn it on a disc and pass it to someone with a better knowledge in uploading than me. /versus/images/graemlins/indifferent.gif

 

Whoa only just seen this thread, Myke came to London? Awesome! Nice match against Ryan's Akira as well.

How much stuff was capped? It'd be great to see it all if poss.

 

yeah didn't have time to write a better report,
yeah overall I think apart from ryan it's safe to say we got some pretty bad kagay beats, myke was rinsing the sidekick setups and backturned stuff really well,
I tried to stop this with aoi by using inashi and the + but it was tricky,
his flowcharts were really good and reminded me of japanese level play, constantly on you and you have to think fast and create openings, my te's sucked that day so I ate a few nasty tft comboes /versus/images/graemlins/crazy.gif oh and he got a few people with the new hit sweep into throw /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif
also he adapted to our different styles quickly and got some very nice win streaks ( should be on the vids) something not easy to do and showed his experience.
I hope this shows us that we shouldn't be complacent and always look to learn new stuff, lately our play's become a bit inbred so now maybe we'll see some new strategies from everyone please? /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Anyways I hope he found his way home ok as the crazy London night buses wouldn't take his cash and he had to walk /versus/images/graemlins/indifferent.gif
p.s those who didn't come resturant missed out on some good vf stories /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif and gho talking about lemon baths and zombie hulk eating thors leg, wtf /versus/images/graemlins/lol.gif

I wouldn't mind hosting the videos. I got unlimited webspace and bandwidth and I haven't tried it out yet. Heck I'll even edit it a lil cos I'm that bored.

 

I must say that it has been an honour to meet and play you. After getting used to the sticks and each person's style of gameplay your knowledge and experience of the game clearly showed as we were beaten quite badly by your Kage. In our later games I didn't know what to do against you with my Lei.

All in all this has been an invaluable experience for myself as well as the other UK Players and this just gives us an incentive to learn and improve our game.

Anyway thank you for visiting us here in the UK and hope to see you again in the future.

Have a safe trip back.


Later

thanks RagingSilver, i already sorted those clips out and found a site to host them and most probably upload them during this weekend. although if you're really bored you're welcome to host them for me. i'll pass the disc to you if i see you in casino tonight, i'll be around between 6-8 ish.

 

Yo, I’ve added those casual matches in the Media section. i had to scale down the resolution to reduce file size for quicker download, so don't expect great quality footage, still watchable of course. /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Nice work with the footage!
But don't be shy/reserved, and feel you have to stay back and record from an angle (well the angle wasn't THAT bad, I've seen US footage at extremely steep angles lol).
Feel free to come in the centre between the players /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You see when I'm recording.. "nah man, move! I need a good shot" lol

Anyway Myke, it was a pleasure to meet you! (even though I haven't learnt much VF yet and didn't play)
