Little late to respond, as I only got home from London Monday night-ish and was tired for the majority of Tuesday, but SVB was great. First time I went to a tournament of that size and I didn't too well actually, but still had fun playing casuals, watching the top 8's (especially with the ecstatic' crowd), meeting up with certain individuals and so forth throughout the event. There were some delays 'n all and I struggled to adjust to offline play as well as the various televisions (some were also laggy) since I naturally don't get a lot of chances to get accustomed to a play environment like that, but it was still a very enjoyable first-time experience that I wouldn't mind repeating next year if it's possible for me to attend.

Won against RickyTTT's Ryu 2 - 1 in a close Best of 3 match (don't know if that was his 'true secondary') , did decently against V-Ryu's Makoto and PR Balrog (I still lost however) and my match against Evans in the 5 vs 5 tourney also got uploaded on YouTube for those who are interested:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYhY89bFL8o (same match, but for those who don't want the French commentary)
If it wasn't obvious enough already, luck was on my side here.

And here's some random photo's I found on Neo Empire and the like:

65+ groups and Blanka's covering me up in group 7.

Average size of the crowd watching the 5 vs 5's.

Crowd for one of the top 8's.

And some channels for those who want to catch up:

- toge64's Channel - SFIII: Third Strike top 8
- VIP2GAMING's Channel - General
- Puyo432343's Channel - SSFIV, general-ish
- Hakf's Channel - Primarily SSFIV (direct feed & cam) + 5 vs 5 with commentary.
- Haven't found anything yet from the BlazBlu: CS top 8, sadly.

I'm so dumb for not going, after getting over my hissy-fitting caused by my joystick (by buying a new stick for my SE...) I managed to find someone who could house me but sign-ups were closed already :( It's completely unrelated to Shinji and Infexious taking 10 straight rounds against me whenever I play them destroying my hopes of doing well in it...

So I won't be showing up, hope you and VlaD get put on blast by Abels ;)

Only saw some Abels I might've had to play against in the 5 vs 5, but 'our' Rose player (who was just randomly picked up as a fifth member at the venue itself) fortunately took them out pretty swiftly!

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 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. :D
Click to expand...
To be fair, I didn't see WGE on the list when the wildcard team was looking for members and he only asked me afterwards!

And "Team F*ck Wiseblade" doesn't quite have an alluring ring to it!

Soneet said:
Posting from a hostel with a borrowed netbook: So many WTF moments in SVB. Videos will be uploaded when I'm back home.

Shout out to Wiseblade and MicVlad: great hanging out there with you.

Also met MarkMan, obviously played with Daigo in casuals (got destroyed), I was in the same pool as Ryan Hart (lost to him, won the rest so I got through the pools). Also got to play with Kayane(great girl) and many others. Overall it has been a great experience. Lost straight away in the brackets to a Bison played by Padgy(sp?).
Click to expand...
Yup, even though I probably only briefly chatted with you and Wiseblade for most of the event.

black_vegeta said:
Wasn't MicVlad on his team? I wonder if he experienced the Eduardo rudeness.
Click to expand...
Didn't notice PR Balrog being rude to me directly, but I wouldn't be surprised if he and everyone else on the team was thinking "What the hell is up with this guy?" after being steamrolled by both an Ibuki and Louffy's Rose in the 5 vs 5. Only did well against a Rufus who didn't seem to be comfortable with the match-up and got lucky against Evans' Fei-Long.

Spirit of Jazz said:
Also this, making angry Sim even angrier can't be a good thing. On the same subject do you know how VlaD placed?
Click to expand...
Placed first in the group stage with a score of 4 - 1 (lost to a Ryu partially due to stupid mistakes), then got eliminated by a good pad El Fuerte one match before the winner had to take on Daigo in the second round brackets. No Loser's Brackets either. Played really sloppy there even though I knew the match-up to an extent and inexperience with offline play really showed here.

I usually get too much hate messages which flattered me, but I got sick of ragequitters. I got those ragequitters too much.

Of all the horrible matchups for Makoto, I find Boxer really difficult. It feels like everything he has is safe and his jab just stops anything Makoto has cold in it's tracks.

Guile too can be a pain in the ass. I did beat a 8000BP Akuma earlier though, I love fighting characters with low health, they can run, but once you get them it's bye-bye 60% of their health in one go!

Lol man those matches are painful to look at. Ever since then I've been practicing my ass off. So that hopefully in the next tourney you should see a completely different Vega from me....

Boxer's a bad match for her imho for 2 reasons: he can turtle the shit out of her, and any jab that connects can potentially lead to a knockdown.

Jabs are sort of a double-edged sword for him in this matchup though. What I like to do against Boxer is get just outside of the range of his jabs and get him to push buttons that I can counterhit. Once he's knocked down, he can't do anything against meaty c.mk except ex dash punches, but Mak has some fun option selects to deal with those if you think it's coming. st.mp (just out of range so it'll whiff if he doesn't do anything) buffer ex karakusa grabs him. cr.mp buffer ex karakusa grabs him from certain distances too if he does ex dash punch when he's not knocked down, but I like cr.mp buffer ex oroshi more in those situations because there's more room for error.

Yeah, we can get some matches in. I would like to get some more experience against Dat Mak since no one really plays as her.

Meaty st.hk trades with ex pc in your favor and makes ex headstomp whiff.

Otherwise, pray.
