Interesting little article up on Sega-16 about the 2009 European Megadrive Championships. This year it was in Lisbon, Portugal.

Small enough event (Three countries were represented - no Ireland this year unfortunately), but looked like it was still a good bit of fun.

It'd be worth considering alright.

I remember Ireland won the first one over in the UK. Couple of the guys from the team posted here about it.

I suppose it depends where it's on.

Could always just organize an all Ireland one here instead!

im up for it! looks like portugal won thanks to some guy being awesome at street fighter 2, its amazing how much ive declined at MD SF2 or indeed any SF! then again, my wireless 6 button pads are not as exact as they used to be!

I always thought the standard 'Batman' type shaped Megadrive D pad was horrible for playing Street Fighter. There's something about it that does not lend itself well to pulling off a lot of the moves. Plus I dont even need to mention having to press start to scroll between kick and punch.

The smaller 6 button D pad is great though. Are yours official infa red wireless ones?

oh yeah, its impossible to play sf2 without the 6 button. yea mine are official wireless 6 button pads. they are a small bit bigger and more comfortable than the wired officials.
