Who is getting the train to Belfast on Saturday?

chopperbyrne

Myself and Doom are and want to book the train tickets ASAP, so can whoever wants to get the train with us please say so in this thread.

We'll either be getting the train back or aircoach.

Train to Belfast is at 09:35 on Saturday morning from Connolly Station.

Orim

Flip of the coin says yes.

Returning same day right?

chopperbyrne

Yes, probably leaving Belfast between 19:00 and 21:00.

Most likely on the aircoach at 19:30 or the train at 20:10.

Got loads of vids, will upload the final tonight. It's pretty entertaining if I do say so for a fight which involves me

Ian McTetly

Next time you put me into losers Doom, I wanna see that chip sonic boom reflected in your sunglasses! GGs to everyone, it was a tough top 8 for sure. Not quite as tough as groups though. :pac:

Few comments on the day:

Q con rocked. I have attended quite a few gaming cons in my time in college and none of them, including Gaelcon, could match the level of professionalism on display so thanks alot to the staff. I hope more people can make the effort next year.

Special thanks to Vyze/ Vaughn for sorting out our entries and running such a good tournament, I especially enjoyed the hype megaphone "Brain Doom vs Chunkis... no, hang on, the Communist Red man"

There were a few decent undiscovered players there, an extremely tight Viper that was a joy to watch whose name I didn't catch, Kanped's Honda was apparently the match of any in Ireland and Chunkis had a mean ass Vega in his group who he only sneaked by.

There was also this weird thing going on where for the first time I felt like one of the old school SF "gang". There was a clear demarcation between the practiced DS/ Inferno players and the crowd and several times there was appreciate gasps/ applause while we were playing. That was so nice to see, it was like a tiny bit of pay off for all the work.

GG's especially to Redman who I only barely beat in a couple of rounds with sneaky backhands and Blag. It's like a different fight every time we meet.

We need a focal tournament like Q Con down south I think.

something to consider.

Lol. Is his real name Farz by any chance?

UberPrinny_Baal

Gratz to Doom for the 2nd place.

Sorry I couldn't properly drop you home. There was actually a really clear signpost for Santry one set of traffic lights up from where I left you

Couldn't do a U-turn on that road though with the margin in the middle :mad:

T'was an alright weekend, I did absolutely bloody pathetic in SF4 though. First match in groups being against Doom didn't do wonders for the old nerves. :pac:

Thanks for the words of praise but it was Kyle who really headed up the SSF4 tourney since I wanted to make sure it was in a safe and experienced pair of hands!

We ended up with 54 players total after a couple of people dropped out and new people were added in late. We were hella pushed for time and barely finished the final match in time to boot everyone out for the short closing period before the evening slot of the event. Very similar thing happened with Tekken later in the day (38 entrants, totally unexpected!) where we just finished in time for the closing ceremony!

Orim and Kanped, you need names that I can make dumb comments on! :P

Thanks to everyone who showed up and took part, I hope you all had a great time!

You got to try to not give a damn who you are fighting. Stick to your game plan and come out fighting (or turtling, in our case.)

It was great, and it made me feel all of us who put in an effort to grow fighting games are doing good work.


Final's uploading as we speak.

Doctor DooM

Grand final is up.


I am told this is a great fight.

Gonna repost in the irish vids thread too.

Also, I am still feeling very unwell (I couldn't talk for about an hour after Q-con, I thought it was funny at the time!) So it might be a couple days before I drip more up.

I've never felt a crowd behind me before

FutureGuy

To the guys that have attended Inferno 9 and Q-Con, how do both events compare in terms of quality of players attending?

blag

It'd be much more difficult to win at inferno. Mike and Chris(Cobelcog), arguably the two best players weren't at Q-Con as well as other possible contenders like Bush,Azza,Roogle,Hound,Dreddy etc.

Edit:To answer your question,the quality in the groups was very poor IMO, I spotted a few players who looked to have some potential but at the same time there was some bizarre stuff like Orim getting ultra'd from full screen by a Ken,you just can't legislate for that kind of randomness!

The last 8 was of a good calibre though I'd say.

chopperbyrne

Doom and Blag in particular had very easy groups.

Doom had one decent Guile player in his group, but was never going to lose that mirror match and he had someone in his group who may never have played Street Fighter before who was literally just mashing buttons.

My group was quite competitive and Orim had a decent Viper player who we hopefully see again (anyone inform him of the regular DS events?).
