Since I can't really sleep right now I thought i might as well give a SVB update.
MicVlaD, Soneet and myself are the only Gaffers competing in Super AFAIK. All three of us made it out of our 5-man round robin groups, with MicVlad and Soneet topping their groups and me coming second.
My group
Infexious ( One of the top 5 ranking players in Manchester)
Myself
Unknown Guy player
Unknown Adon player
Unknown Boxer player
When I found out about my group I was sweating buckets because having Infexious in my group basically forced me to fight for second. Initially I wasn't
that worried, but then I found out that he'd recently switched to Dictator as his main. Crap.
Wiseblade 2 - 1 Unknown Guy player
My first match of the day got off to a shaky start. I was doing okay, but getting really nervous and dropped three RSF opportunities. I won the first match and he switched to Ryu after reealising how badly he could have lost. He won the second game as I freaked out to being counterpicked. In the third I got my composure back and won nicely.

He wasn't that good. It didn't hep he didn't know a single think about the matchup either. :/ I don't think he won a single match in the group.
Wiseblade 0 - 2
Infexious
I got beat down. He basically just herded me into the corner and back-forward motions to bait and punish crouch techs. Even when I got knockdowns I couldn't really capitalise on them because of Bison's escape options.

Was pretty good and smart about using Rising Jaguar sparingly. He I don't really know a ton about the matchup so I just did my basic stuff and hoped for the best.
My knockout rounds were supposed to start yesterday, but the tournament overran and they got moved to this evening. If I win my first round then I'm likely to face Kayane. :lol
Also... There a 5v5 SSFIV tournament today that MicVlaD and myself are in. WorstGiefEver and I invited VlaD to join our team, but he rejected us for PR Balrog's team. So I officially deem him a Traitor to GAF.
