Money Match!

Orim

SvB? EVO? SBO?

Forget it all.

It's on tonight. 10pm in GGPO.

Placebo vs Kikimaru in a first to 10 Third Strike money match.

The competitors are tense, the IRC is buzzing and side bets are floating.

Get Hype?

GorySnake

10 minutes left, €5 on Farz, neither man has spoken in 20 minutes, no doubt training with extreme concentration.

Doctor DooM

Fiver on no one.


Yes this is a fight I believe no matter who wins, we all lose.

Sairus

So does the winner get one of these or something?

Owwmykneecap

whoever wins, we all lose.

Farz takes it 10 - 5.

Some close matches but a shocking pick of Ryu half way through the set gave Farz a commanding lead.

K.O.Kiki

Ryu completely threw me off my game alright.

At least I didn't get completely trampled!

Also:

<farz_> its cool kiki, u bet my chun with ur Q
<farz_> thats a kuroda win right there

GorySnake

Truly a battle that will go down in history. Some surprise Counter Picking from both sides which made for some hyped up matches.

Placebo

it was all hype.
commentry attached

[22:45] <doom_> **** HIM UP KIKI!
[22:45] <doom_> Sorry farz.
[22:45] <farz_> let me turn on qos
[22:45] <Orim> i need to piss but im too hype
[22:45] <GorySnake> wtf is qos?
[22:46] <Orim> farz putting on a some motivational music
[22:46] <Ramza> taking so long
[22:46] <GorySnake> denjin time
[22:46] <Orim> we're assuming its from a rocky soundtrack
[22:46] <Stavanger1> electric six gay bar no?

THAT was some hype, i didnt even know i was fighting until i came on irc randomly, i put on some rocky music and watched my chun go down, i kept doing sf4 moves so it was time to rely on the rest of the cast aka grade B, the back ups, the plan B's and so there was ryu throwing 2 supers in kiki's face [TAKE THAT, ryu said, followed by atleast 20 taunts] .
Then for my final win it was time to bust out my super secret weapon , aka SEAN.

R.I.P kikimaru, may you rest in peace
in seriousness though GG, im so out of practice.

GorySnake

Get ready for next week, if Im lucky, my connection isnt crap and I can get GGPO working, prepare yourselves for:

GorySnake Vs. Ramza FT10 Super Turbo.

Place your bets now.

Placebo

<Orim> kiki playing keepaway like a straigh man in the george

best piece of commentary in the history OF HISTORY. period.

animaX

Aww, missed it. Didn't know you could spectate in GGPO. Might try to get it running on my internet connection

FoamyMushroom

Anyone record it?

GorySnake

Ramza said he recorded some of the games.

Get hype for this Friday: I got GGPO working

GorySnake vs Ramza (unless either of us finds something better to do)

K.O.Kiki

Just an FYI: I played Gory after he got GGPO working.
Trounced his Hugo with Yang.
Thought he was some new scrub.
...
He ended beating me 26-5 in casual play.

GorySnake

lol those were some fun games. I wanted to pick Yang first

Owwmykneecap

Would love to have got some games of 3s that night but my pc gets killed by ggpo.

ST is fine though, had some games with orim.

Must buy graphics card....

Sisko

more likely its your cpu

Owwmykneecap

Yeah but If I can take the strain off of it...

Sisko

what graphics card are you using?

I have a six year old laptop that can run GGPO fine. Unless your computer is an old 386 or some other ****e like a Mac, then you should be able to run it fine.

K.O.Kiki

Macs are fine, my 2.2Ghz Core2Duo runs 3S perfectly*.

Stop hatin'.

AFAIK for CPSIII (or rather any emulation) games, you just want a really fast CPU, multi-core if possible.

Tried it against a friend in 3s with 100 ping, about the same as GGPO. But damn is the replay feature cool. It lets you save to .avi directly from the program.

I'll try that to see if my internet connection will allow it

Age: 7.5 years

K.O.Kiki

Windows re-install + get a cheapo graphics card off Adverts.ie?

Owwmykneecap

I bought a graphics card off ebay, but got refunded due to no stock.

I think a geforce 6200 or 6700/6800 special edition is about the best that fits old school pci slots.

I only upgraded to a gig of ram last week!

Ramza

I play on a 6600 and AMD 2.GHZ dual and it runs flawlessly

K.O.Kiki

I've got a Radeon 9600 AGP lying around here somewhere.

Dreddybajs

counterpicking in money matches? shocking stuff lads, usually you both decide on a character at the start when you make the bet

K.O.Kiki

^-- By this logic, I win the first MM since I played Remy more than he played Chun

Nah, it's 3S, it's fine.

Owwmykneecap

Thanks man, Don't think my pc has an agp slot though.

K.O.Kiki

It doesn't have the brown slot?
How OLD is that machine? :eek:

Owwmykneecap

lol

AGP got phased out quite quickly when PCI-E was able to outperform it.

Owwmykneecap

I don't have pci-e either.
Just vanila pci.

afaik this is the most powerful card available for old school pci.

Anyone know better?

K.O.Kiki

TBH they're all crap.
...
Save up for a used PC?

Owwmykneecap

40 quid to keep my old pc running for a few more years? I'm cool with that.

Don't want a new pc until usb 3.0 is standard and ssds are more common and affordable, using an standard 2-4 tb hdd as mass storage

I may soon have GGPO working on my mac thanks to that link PPC.
