Inferno Ten - 03/07/10

chopperbyrne

Inferno Ten will be on Saturday the 3rd of July in the XGC as always.

Registration ends at 13:30 so if you're running a little late you can text or ring me to let me know. Just PM me for my number.

This will be back to normal, with the normal prize structure of all the entry fees split between the top three finishers.

Usual rules apply and bring your own controller and copies of the game please.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Misty Chaos

No

Barring any circumstances that pop up between now and then, I WILL be there.

And I think I should add, this is going to be make or break in regards to whatever or not I'll be investing myself further into the Irish FG movement, so no pressure on you guys! :pac:

Aside from that, it will be nice to get to finally play against people sitting right next to me.

Xinkai

No

Will this be Inferno 10 or 11?

Monkeyto

No

I propose that we create two threads for this.

The first thread will let us vote if we want to call it "10" or "X"

The second thread will have us all write a short comment about Terry.

All in favoure type 1,2,3.

Also I shall be at this event

UberPrinny_Baal

I think I need a lot more practice in training mode, online and at casuals before heading along to another inferno.

Ken B

It should be called 'Super Inferno One'.....


The next can be called 'Super Inferno Too'.....etc.

The best practise is at tournaments.

K.O.Kiki

No

Gonna get paid hopefully, so yes.

Sisko

No

Ah man that's not the way to look at it at all. 1st you must love competition before you can achieve victory.


Are you telling me you did not enjoy the last one? If you are in Dublin you should try to make it to as many of the meet ups as you can you'd learn far more far faster.

Doyler01

il be in Boston so Il find an xbox cafe thing like XGC and just play from there.

Sisko

No

haha

UberPrinny_Baal

It's probably worth point out that schedule-wise I'm genuinely unable to go to inferno or anything SF related for the first 2 weeks of July.

When you get knocked out in the preliminary stages, the tournament doesn't equal a whole lot of matches in which you can actually practice.

The best competition is definitely at tournaments, but I'd say at the level I'm at now, the best practice is casuals

Sisko

No

Well if everyone thought like you we'd only have about 3 or 4 people at each tourney.

At least your willing to come to casuals though.

UberPrinny_Baal

I'm not trying to be salty or anything Sisko, I'm just saying.

The best practice isn't at tournaments if you're crap. You need to work up to that.

I'll head along for the laugh and atmosphere and all that, but I don't have any misconceptions that the one or two matches I play before I get knocked out are going to up my game.

Burning Eclipse

Gonna provisionally say yes to this! Really wanted to come to the last Inferno, but June is a bad month for me as I've something on every weekend, but I think this one looks good!!

Air-throws for all.

Sisko

No

@ Prinny, no worries man you've been one of our most active new guys so your deffo heading in the right direction.

I'm continuing to play horrible in pretty much every tourney, I hardly play anywhere near my best. Finding it difficult to get 'in to the zone' in offline games so I'm trying to get as much tourney and offline experience as possible.

Just clearing up where I'm coming from.

unky chop chop

Balls I'll be away for this. Really wanted to go aswell, had a blast at the last one and it really opened my eyes to the offline buzz VS Mr laggy MC laggerson turbo double dragon punch,no punish arseology.

I came away with a lot to think about and I'd encourage anyone who thinks that spending more time in a white squared virtual training room beating up a dummie or battles it out with random unpredicable crazy folk online is more productive to take the plunge and give it a go.Your skills will increse ten fold.Plus there's nothing like seeing the whites of your enemies eyes:)

Planning to attend. I'm going to show every one of you that my 9th place wasn't a fluke!!! *

*Which it was

Mike, you should take the train. We had a great laugh on the way up and all for 25 euro return.

Aren't you the ken player?!

:pac:

D4RK ONION

I'm probably not going to be attending.

Sisko

No

None of that talk now Onion. Unless of course its for an actual good reason. But I fear from your reaction at the last tourney that it may not be for a good reason.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

D4RK ONION

Pretty sure I'd have come but I have a little brother turning the big ONE ZERO on the 3rd, and a not so little sister turning the big 16 on the 4th. One birthday I could have missed, but not two :eek:

Which is annoying cause it'll probably screw up any chances I had of ever seeding in this damn country :P

Seeding is going to deteriorate over time. Namely the seedings will be based off the last three tournaments.

Thanks for reminding me btw. I'll post up the seed list as soon as I finish my chicken wings.

Orim

Seeding List :

1st - Cobelcog (Cammy) - 8
2nd - Bush (Chun-Li/Blanka) - 7
3rd - Azza (Dictator) - 6
4th - fake_roogle (Boxer) - 5
5th - Liquidswords (Fei Long) - 4
5th - The Hound (Akuma/Adon/Dictator) - 4
7th - unky chop chop (Ken) - 3
7th - Doctor DooM (Guile) - 3
9th - Ken B (Claw) -2
9th - Owwmykneecap (Claw) - 2
9th - D4RK ONION (E. Honda) - 2
9th - FutureGuy (Ryu) - 2
13th - Jim (Cammy) - 1
13th - Malachy (Boxer/El Fuerte) - 1
13th - Speedhaak (Boxer) -1
13th - Sisko (Ryu/Ibuki) - 1

Obviously the seeds are fairly simple at the moment but they'll settle over time.

EDIT : If you're interested my chicken wings were delish.

You know, I was just going to ask and everything

Sisko

No

That's fair enough Onion I was worried you were giving up as you seemed like a broken man at the last event.

I wouldn't worry too much about the seeds if I were you. I mean I'm on there and I played extra horrible at this event.

unky chop chop

Onion.. i dedicate this to you

Next time,my brother in arms

FutureGuy

No

I'm seeded? For real? I can't wait to tell my mum and dad! They'll be ever so proud!!!

ONION, glad to see you back here! Missing birthdays probably not the best idea. I'd say we'll all go up and down on the Saturday if thats any good to you! No need for weekend trip.

wtf happened at Inferno 9?

unky chop chop

Not much, Me and Onion had an intense pant wetting match as always.
I hadn't taken a single round of him in the set and he was at match point when i took the finger out and slipped her into Onion bashing gear for the victory,with devestating effect on Onion
Enough to make a grown man cry:)
Seriously though Onion, Man our Fights are always great, packed full of mind games and tension

Blood-Martyr

No

Think I may just drag myself up from Galway for this

Just a few questions about the event itself.
1. What kind of format are ye using for the tourney? Elimination? 1 Round games , best of 3? etc. . .

And I assume you prefer wired pads and stuff

Thanks in advance for the info and I look forward to this :cool:

K.O.Kiki

No

• Pools of 4-5 players, Top 2 go through to Double Elimination Top 16. That's how we generally do it.
• All games are best 3 rounds, FT2 matches (i.e. 2/3R, 2/3M)
• Bring your own controller. Wired preferred because it creates a lot less hassle.

Sisko

No

@Blood-Martyr

Will this be your 1st time or are you one of the guys who was at the team tourney 2 weeks ago?

Blood-Martyr

No

Nope , I'll be a complete first timer. Quite looking forward to it mind

Sisko

No

You should be, tis great craic

D4RK ONION

Apparently my sister isn't even going to be around for her Birthday, so if I go up and down on the one day, I might be able to do this. I'll see closer to the date.

pdbhp

No

I'm gonna try come to the tourney. This will be my first event and I hope I don't get beat too bad since I don't have a fancy controller just the standard one, which is why I'll suck. hopefully it'll get me into it and I'll go the whole hog and buy a stick or fight pad

The last winner of Inferno plays on an xbox pad. And iirc the tournament before that had the top three as an xbox pad player, a PS pad player and a guy with the madcatz pad.

Nought wrong with a good pad.

Also I can't play. Got my theory test that day but I'll be down anyway for most of the day.

Hey there,
Last inferno was my first every tournament and I learned more in that 5 hours than I did in about a month of random online sparring. And just because you don't have a fancy schmancy stick, it doesn't matter. Cobelcog, who won the last event, plays with a regular pad!

Come along, it's a great day.

pdbhp

No

@ ORIM & future guy.
Good stuff lads don't feel as noobish now even though I've been playing SF since 1993

So we'll have a lift to Dragon Slayers soon then?

Yeah cause all you need is the theory test right?

Sisko

No

Good luck in your test man. Its pretty easy , or it was when I took it.

K.O.Kiki

No

I studied for maybe 2 weeks, found out that they'd changed 25% of course content a week before my test, and STILL managed to ace it.
And did it in 11 minutes (out of 40).
WITH double-checking.

But no, you wouldn't be able to easily drive to Belfast, since L-drivers aren't allowed on motorways. If that was a test question, you'd have flunked it now :pac:

Ken B

Trev B has his actual test tomorrow.....I hope to fcuk, he gets it!

3rd time lucky and all that....

Sisko

No

He'd also need a car, and as far as I remember, I watched a video the day before and went in and got the test, t'was just rules of the road stuff, but this was about 3-4 years ago dunno what its like now.

chopperbyrne

No

Best get the promotion of this going again now that Q-Con is over.

It's unlikely we'll have as big a turnout as last time, but we'll have a few new faces too and it should be just as good as ever.

It'll be a seeded draw this time, so the group of death scenario should be avoided for the most part and it should give some players a better chance of reaching the knockout round if they only have to beat one top player to make it out of groups instead of two or three.

If anyone is planning to attend and hasn't voted in the poll can they please do so.

Placebo
