Unfortunately I'm in Spain as I write this so I can't make it .hopefully I can make the rest soon after.

Orim

It's a busy weekend for fighting games but I'm currently edging towards Q-Con.

Although maybe I should come down and steal the position of Reigning Munster Champion. :pac:

Doctor DooM

I'll be at Qcon, I am afraid.

K.O.Kiki

Gotta go to an Open Day

Ohh the mystery!!!

FutureGuy

I called into Moviedrome last night and provisionally booked 3 consoles for Saturday from 1-4 pm. I reckon after 4 pm, we vacate the consoles we are finished with and rebook 1 or 2 for casuals. No point in paying for consoles we are not using.

Sabre0001

For the win.

On another note, I think you might as well just accept this is called the Glacial league from now on. It's been called that twice on SF.IE now

Us... Wow, looks like we're gonna get some good numbers today! Hope it stays the same format as last week though, it's nice to play everyone at least once

Session 2 is over and we have a new leader! Congrats to FutureGuy after a tight session. Three way tie at the top decided on individual matches won and lost. Again, individual match results are available here. Videos have been recorded and hopefully will be posted soon.

Thanks to the Playstation players who were good enough sports to switch to XBox for the day (pad and all!).

D4RK ONION

If I wanted more points, I'd have stuck with Honda, but I was having fun with Makoto so I lost quite a few.

Sabre0001

Will be bringing multiple batteries and power leads with me in future. Got a few vids and uploading tonight and tomorrow...

But you didn't hesitate to pick Honda in a hurry when we were tied 1-1, did you?

ONION Vs Me
Seth Vs Cammy 1-0
Seth Vs Cammy 1-1

Rule was if you win, you can't change character.

I hate that rule.

And I only use one character!

I stuck to Cammy yesterday with 2 exceptions. Used Guile against Sabre because he knows my Cammy too well... Did me no good though... If you watch the video prepare to be disappointed at Guile being handled the way he is. I think I picked Chun for one match too? Lesson is to never not pick Cammy

Thanks to the Cork guys for coming up (Matt has a great Cody)! And big thanks to Sairus for bringing a camera.

Looking forward to Session 3

Don't know if that one is on record. Kinda thankful, would bore people to tears considering there were two time out wins and one K.O. on 1 second Tough match!

A great match, right down to the wire!

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, great job Sabre organising this

That's the same rule we use. If you win a game in a set then you can't change character. That's fair.

Being locked to a single character against a completely different opponent because you won your last match is a pain in the arse though.

Doctor DooM

LOL @ Onion "**** I threw that away"

Need to be more patient with your jump ins

Future Guy you know if you've no meter or don't want to burn it when you tag someone with a jab dp on a jump in you can follow it with a fierce DP and because of the new two hit thing it'll connect for a little damage?

D4RK ONION

I was salty after that, feel like an idiot now sorry Futureguy.

I suppose you could pay for someone's way to an inferno or something instead.

No problem Onion, I hate losing too. FWIW, even though I was delighted to win my first ever tournament, I was more thrilled about the fact that I beat your Honda for the first time. I think we both made some errors during the game but hopefully we will both work harder at this match up and become better players.

Yeah I think that will be what ends up happening. Pity about the league up there but thanks for the inspiration

TBH no I never copped it. Thanks, every little extra damage helps! So after a l.dp, my priority should be Ultra/Super > Ex.hadoken > f.DP.

Looking at my video of the match with Onion, I really need to get my hit confirmation/block strings down. Regardless of whether he was blocking or not I was using c.lp, c.lp. c.lp. c.mp, ex.hadoken. I need to calm down a little and get back to using c.mk, hadoken when he's blocking. I'm practicing c.lp, c.lp. c.mp/c.fp. tatsu/EX tatsu for hit confirmation. I can do it very comfortably in training but to get the brain to switch to this combo during an intense match is difficult.

Back to training room/casuals!

Sairus

I'll get on uploading those videos today. I got a little sidetracked with 16 hours of FFXIII yesterday.
T'was good to meet all of yis in the flesh.

Mr. K

I came last! It was fun though, great seeing such a high standard of play!

Inferno's in Dublin. highest ranked Inferno Dub is our champion.

Prob be Hound, or Dreddy or I if he's not around.

I'm no Ryu expert but I would think the damage scaling is not a good pay off for the risk of missing a link in that long chain starting with c. lp. I would think cr mk xx hadoken is a safer bet, and if you do hit and can confirm you could FADC for more damage.

I'm sure you're already doing this but switch the dummy to random for practising hit confirms. That will get you in the mode of looking for the hits and switching to your extra.

Do it for long enough and it will become second nature.

cr. lp, cr. mk is a one frame link and I wouldn't rely on it for hitconfirms for that reason. I use cr lk, cr lp, cr hp xx tatsu for a hitconfirm combo.

Going from cr. lp to cr. mp or cr. hp is a 2 frame link rather than 1 frame for cr.mk.

What about going from cr.mp to cr.mk? Is that possible? Another one framer?

Just thinking because if they are blocking it would be preferable to end with the Hadouken to get the little bit of chip although you want to watch for punishes (ex. Chun can punish a blocked fireball with Super)

Dreddybajs

Why would you need a cr. mk to end with a fireball? Just cancel the cr. mp or cr. hp into a fireball.
