Report, bracket, videos and standings soon...


In the meantime, here are a few videos from a tournament we had on Friday (and the first tourney two weeks before that) just gone. Its a tourney run by Ryan Hart himself where the rules are simply - one game and off. Mainly to get the UK players ready for SBO...

These are the links to what I believe are the best matches. There are more on Ryan Hart's youtube account. Vince should be done processing the videos for this RB fairly soon as he's known for his efficiency.

Enjoy :tup: See you peeps at SBO :arazz:

first match 2:56 one of the top beastings. very nice

[darkimmunity]

Omfg that was the 2nd most incredible thing i have seen playing street fighter...Rofl that MK is just so damned tempting to do though.

Was that you telling prodigal that if only he didn't use the MK?

[SF and PROS]

Did Ryan even use Ken? I thought that was his main. And show me some videos of Phix next time. Not to be nitpicking, but can you also get a better camera/recording equipment as well? :bgrin:

Good shit.

[HarmoNaz]

Nah I wasn't doing any commentary. The guy that said that to Ryan I think was the Prince (he's the guy that went and grabbed Ryan after he lost)

Ryan used Ken in the RB so you'll see those vids.

The ones I just posted above were all done on Ryan's camera phone :rofl: Like I said - its an ad hoc tourney run by Ryan on Friday nights to get people in the SBO frame of mind.

RB vids will be top quality though - just wait and see :wink:

Matches of Phix? Well its upto Vince as to whether he seperately uploads games from the group stages. Since Phix didn't qualify yesterday, the only footage we have is of his group stage matches. However I do think Vince will upload quite a few group matches since himself, Raju, Phix, Gunman and a few other good players didn't qualify but had some heated matches during groups.

Alternatively Phix can come to my house and I can record a set, but I get the feeling he wouldn't want that :bgrin:

Phix - you'd better work on buttering up Vince if you want those matches uploaded :arazz:

What i never said i wouldnt do that lol ill come down just to get some sanity back my play yestaday was shit ... Phix does not do well under pressure .. Erm what was the combo again :looney:
Deffo need more pressure practice Grats to Ryan for winning again (can any one stop him only time will tell :wonder:) And C4 i hate CHUN :sad:

[XEN MASTER MARK]

What the hell happened to Ryan's UOH!?! It went the wrong damned way :lol: Hahaha. Closest final ever!

Thanks for posting these up. :tup:

[SF and PROS]

I watched all the vids, camera phone lol no wonder it's so blurry. I noticed you did the teleport into the corner that was debated so much before and escaped nicely Naz.

Did I miss something, or there was only one vid with you in it?

[HarmoNaz]

From the first NEKO RB, Ryan only uploaded my game against him. I guess he didn't consider the prior games worth uploading.

Same thing with the second one, except that I lost my semi final match in a very embarrassing manner to the Prince. You can see that match on Ryan's account, but like I said - its incredibly boring. I came off the machine and people were like 'Naz, why didn't you press any buttons?'

I got revenge yesterday though :devil:

But yes, there are only two matches of me from the NEKO tourney, and I only posted one of them above.

Teleport back into the corner is only debated by scrubs :wink:

The ranking battle prior to yesterday's one (i.e. 4:2) was not uploaded onto youtube (individual matches from 4:1 are on youtube), even though I posted a link to the whole file when it came out. Have people seen that/would they like for me to upload the matches from that RB to youtube?

One other thing - based on what you people have seen - who do you think should be in UK's main SBO team GIVEN THAT Ryan will probably not go :sad:

Thanks for any input :tup:

You , Sean , C4 for SBO but sean wont go so .... erm ill pretend to be sean ill even play white ken :looney:
But that team stands the best chance i think Gouki , Chun , Ken
PPS Naz train me i dont wanna lose no more /me dies inside :sad:
Phix

[hold dat]

good matches...that ibuki player knew how to pressure the green ken player.

good stuff...need to see more of my boy Harmonaz in action though...

might have to come to the UK and show you chaps how to really rush with ken :wgrin:

anyway, more Harmonaz beasting please!!!!!

Yeah...I hate that crap. It's like if you do it at the wrong point when the opponent flies in the air the game forces the UOH to switch directions.

Good stuff. Prodigal vs. that Chun player was epic. Gonna watch the rest later. Keep holdin it down Naz.

[SF and PROS]

WTF Ryan isn't going? In that case you as the captain of the team, C4 and an unknown third playing a top tier preferably :smile: Bro, don;t give up on convincing Ryan to go, kidnap his gf and hold her for ransom, because the three of you (C4, Prodigal, and Naz) would be a pretty wicked team.

P.S. I watched the video of Prodigal Vs C4 again, and heard the coaching session this time around. lmao

[NG1313]

Cool stuff. Shame about the SRK that missed the third hit against CIV.

[XEN MASTER MARK]

317MB of 3S goodness!?! Much props to everyone involved in getting the video out there. Cheers for posting up Harmonaz.

[eiSH]

I don't get it. Don't people pick Chun-Li 'cause they know how to hit confirm? :shake: The Ibuki should've burned the super in both rounds at the end against the Chun, he played well but for some reason didn't feel like cheesing it -_-; <Ibuki should've won.

Lol @ XBL tactic blocked Shippu -> Fierce Shoryu.

[J Musashi]

Nice. Harmonaz, are you going to france?
