Title: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread (RoboJ WINS! ROBOMANIA IS RUNNING WILD)
Post by: bork on June 10, 2009, 02:31:44 PM: ROBO J HAS WON WITH A CLEAN SWEEP!

:bow :bow :bow ROBO J ROBO J ROBO J :bow2 :bow2 :bow2

THE CHAMP IS HERE!

I'd like to thank everyone who took part in this tournament! I had a blast, and I hope you all did too! :) It was sad that we had three players drop out, although in Originalz' case, he was leaving to go on a long vacation, and since he notified me in advance, no problems were had. It sucks that Banuda Ultra and Jehuty had to be DQ'd, however. I never did get any messages from them afterward, and haven't seen any message board posts from them (on their site) since early July. If we do another tournament, I hope the next one will be able to be finished much quicker. :lol

The final break down:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the first official BORITO STREET FIGHTER IV TOURNAMENT! Due to lack of member interest, this tourney will be 360-only.

Time won't be an issue! This is an online tourney, so you get matched up with someone, decide on a time to play your game, and post the results. No rush, but hopefully people can play their matches within a few days of getting matched up each time.

Everyone gets two chances in this tourney; losers go to the losers' bracket and can fight their way to the end versus the the last one standing in the winners' bracket.

The rules would be:

1. Best of 3 matches
2. 5 rounds per match
3. Two characters may be used (Main and Alt)
4. If the players are disconnected, restart the match with the same number of rounds won/lost
5. If a player makes no contact with his opponent within a few days of being paired up, he will be disqualified.

Here are the participants:

Name / Gamertag / Main / Alt

1. the lyte edge / lyte edge / Chun-Li / Cammy
2. T234 / Skidmore2 /Guile / Sagat
3. Beezy / Ji3eezy / M.Bison (Dictator) / Chun-Li
4. RoboJ / jim robobo / M.Bison (Dictator) / Sagat
5. Enl / o ENK o / Chun-li / Bison

So if those who are DEFINITELY going to take part, post your Xbox Live Gamertag or PSN ID, and the two characters you will use. The format should be like this:

360 / lyte edge / Chun-Li / Cammy
PSN / lyteedge / Chun-Li / Cammy

Title: Re: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread
Post by: bork on June 15, 2009, 04:03:58 AM: Yeah, it's always fun being part of these! It's a different feeling playing in tourney matches; makes me want to try some of the real ones offline now, although I'm the type that would probably buckle under the pressure of everybody watching. :-[ I've missed out on the yearly Final Round tourneys here in the ATL and also missed out on the Neo Shodown tourneys that happened in '98 and '99 IIRC. A lot of the guys that go to these used to come into the game store where I worked and we'd play stuff. I recognized some of the faces from the last FR this year from there and from GSU. Very nostalgic!

Most of the online tourney matches I've played have been so intense and often very, very close. I love matches like that!

Here's the first of two matches I just had tonight in the latest NeoGAF tourney:

[youtube=560,345]-NBS3eAlmxs[/youtube]

The last match (Cammy vs. Cammy) was crazy and slower than usual...we were both very cautious as one fuck-up could lead to the other getting destroyed. I won this and moved on to the next round in the winners' bracket, but I think PhatSaqs is going to (easily) take the XBL tourney and FindMyFarms will get the PSN one. FindMyFarms sent MoxManiac to the losers' bracket tonight...I was rooting for you Mox!! :)

I don't know how much longer I'm going to be playing SF4 "hardcore" though. I've got 200+ hours put into the arcade, 360, and PS3 versions combined, and am feeling like it may be time to move onto Blaz Blue and KOF XII (I hope the latter is good. PLEASE BE GOOD); TBH I was never all that big into 3rd Strike and while I like SF4 a whole lot more, there are things about it that I also am not big on. I kind of don't want to stop playing though; feels like I've come a long way and also still have much, much longer way to go before I get anywhere near Haunts' level, for example, if ever! I guess basically I'm ready for SF4 Champion Edition! :lol

makes sense since Threi got banned too and he said it was longer than haunt's ban.

But are you really not going back due to that comment or is it that latest "incident" that was happening.

There was some shit said about him losing that match to Mike Ross, like "I got haunts'd" and stuff like that. Completely undeserved since haunts did nothing but help people out and post lots of info in that thread. Dickheads.

BTW you gonna be in the tourney Archie? You haven't put down your characters yet!

Title: Re: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread
Post by: Herr Mafflard on June 15, 2009, 01:02:11 PM: So I popped in SFIV today to see if I still had it, and man, I just had like 10 matches against some dude named StoneFace12.

I main exclusively between Ryu and Sagat and so did he. He beat me pretty well in every 5 round match we played.

So finally, he's beating me 9-0 and I think fuck it this ain't worth the hassle and I jokingly pick Sakura. Well to my utter suprise, I actually win that match. Mind blown.

Yeah, sadly I don't think I'll be entering this tournament guys. I mean, I can't even put up a fight with my main against this guy but I win with a complete random? smh

Dont mean to derail the thread but overall KOFXII is a lot of fun. I guess it plays differently than some other KOFs have in the past but man its a good time, with the custom combos, deadlock system and everything like that. It has its issues just like any other fighting games but I played it a total of like 12 hours in two days if that says anything.

I play Goro / Kyo / Kim. Goro is such a bad ass with his super armor grabs. He will grip anyone, i am still getting used to him though. Kyo is pretty straight forward character, easy combos and stuff. Kim is a little trickier but a lot of fun to play anyway. I may switch him out down the line but for now Ive been doing well with that team.

No reason to stop playing SFIV though. I have heard of a lot of people quitting but to me it seems silly. Just take a break, if you feel like playing, then play, if not then dont.

if anyone is buying SF4 on PC, there is a benchmark demo for it: http://www.gamershell.com/news_78322.html

it was going at 100+ fps (vsync off) at 1680x1050 with everything maxed :lol

the ink visual mode looks really cool

There's no way in hell this would run on my vanilla MacBook with old-ass integrated graphics card, would it? I wanted to try the benchmark demo for shits n giggles but it wouldn't run and said there was a missing file.

Dont mean to derail the thread but overall KOFXII is a lot of fun. I guess it plays differently than some other KOFs have in the past but man its a good time, with the custom combos, deadlock system and everything like that. It has its issues just like any other fighting games but I played it a total of like 12 hours in two days if that says anything.

I play Goro / Kyo / Kim. Goro is such a bad ass with his super armor grabs. He will grip anyone, i am still getting used to him though. Kyo is pretty straight forward character, easy combos and stuff. Kim is a little trickier but a lot of fun to play anyway. I may switch him out down the line but for now Ive been doing well with that team.

Yours is the first really positive review I've read from people I trust. Others are saying it's just kinda "eh" and that players have already dropped it in favor of KOF 2002 UM instead. I am still going to be all over this though. I fucking love KOF and finally, finally, FINALLY it's online (outside Japan sans KDDI fee). I am gonna be playing it nonstop I think.

No reason to stop playing SFIV though. I have heard of a lot of people quitting but to me it seems silly. Just take a break, if you feel like playing, then play, if not then dont.

Well it's because the game is (was?) beginning to get a bit boring to me. I've put shitloads of time into it and played it for months now, and so parts of it are beginning to get stale. I always enjoy doing the online tourneys and playing with friends though. I took a little break for over a week and that helped; also started messing with other characters and that too re-invigorated things, but I want some more variety, and Blaz Blue and KOF XII are just that! I've also tried to change up my style and go more on the offensive, making more use of FAs.

BTW did you get the game on PS3 too? I was wondering why you were finally online on PSN after like five months. :lol

For me, I'm not a die hard KOF fan so maybe I am a little more open minded. The game is pretty basic over all, but it's still fun to me. The fact CC takes off so much dosent bother me that much since you have 3 fuckin teammates anyway. Seems a lot of ppl think the game is shit becuase of how much damage the CCs do.

My only issue, as I stated, is that it feels unresponsive at times. It usually plays smooth but sometimes I feel I have no control over my character for whatever reason. I think this may be due to the converters (although they dont fuck up on other games) but who knows really. Could be my imagination but the other person I was palying with said the same thing.

...and yeah I got the PS3 version of SFIV about a month ago and finally popped it in the triple the other night to see whats good. Starting from the bottom in Chamionship Mode is hella funny. Playing fools who just got the game. lol.

Everyone gets two chances in this tourney! If you lose, you have to the left instead of the right in the brackets. That's why you're gonna need more than two days in this tourney!

Explain this more clearly. What do you mean "he promptly kept on going," and is that "0-3" three matches played (three rounds each) total? If that's the case, you guys didn't even need to play three matches; you only need two matches won to advance. Or did something else happen?

The same post with the rules was put up elsewhere so that shouldn't be an issue.

Post by: Enl on June 24, 2009, 12:53:49 AM: Good matches Beezy!

First match was Chun-li (Enl) vs. Dictator (Beezy) which ended 3-1. First round started in the marketplace where Chun began whipping out some vicious combos on the Dictator only to have him make a great comeback in the end. That only fueled her rage for the 2nd round where she landed a perfect on him. The Dictator fought a better game in the last two rounds but Chun-li had her dead daddy vengence in the end.

The 2nd match was Evil Clone Dictator (Enl) vs. Dictator (Beezy) which ended in 3-0. The round pitted the Dictator against his evil clone on the shores of the firey volcano hell. Poor Dictator didn't realize that his clone knew all his tricks and weaknesses which resulted in him taking a long over due lava bath.

Winner: Enl

EDIT: I probably MAYBE could've gotten a round or two If I had played the game in a while, but still would've comfortably lost.

Good games, mayne! You're rusty, but I think you can come back and do well next match!

Everyone else, go ahead and start your next matches!

Yo when do you want to play our match? Anytime between now and Sunday is good for me. Sunday would probably be the best, if that works for you.

I even went to training mode to see if my controls were fucked up or something. They weren't. Second match was closer, Robo J has really good D, punish, and cross-up. We went 2-2, the fourth round got him with a super izuna drop (I was in the Ultra, and I think he just blocked 'cause no vega fucking saves up for super Izuna lol); I'm sure we were both laughing. He finished the match with a sound beating in round 5.

Whenever, I'm usually able to play in the evenings my time (which would probably be morning your time). If you don't want to wake up early for it, then we can do it on the weekend.

Post by: Robo on June 29, 2009, 09:11:15 PM: My exact reaction to the super izuna was DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! That isn't nearly the first time that's happened to me. :-\

You have Guile listed as your secondary and I was pretty worried you'd switch over to him. Played well, that match-up is really terrible for Dictator, and my Sagat isn't anywhere near good enough to rely on.

Everyone is still in the game; those in the winners' bracket who lose will move to a random spot in the losers' bracket and play again in ROUND 3. Those of you in the losers' bracket who lose this time around, thanks for playing and better luck next time!

Let's see about having all matches finished by next Tuesday, July 7th.

Title: Re: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread
Post by: Enl on July 04, 2009, 02:53:05 AM: I assume I won the match. I don't think he realized that he had to stick with 2 characters as he chose 3. So I don't know if this counts.

1st round: Chun-li (Enl) vs Balrog (Banuda) 3-0

Total destruction of the boxer. Managed to pull a lot of good combos of on this one.

2nd Round: Dictator (Enl) vs Cammy (Banuda) 2-3

Extremely close match. Most of them ending with a sliver of health. He's got Cammy's summersault toss down to an art.

3rd Round: Dictator (Enl) vs Sagat (Banuda) 3-2

Another set of very close matches. There was a ton of close up tight defense going on. Exchanging rapid back and forths as each of us successfully blocks each other's attacks until the inevitable screw up.
Title: Re: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread
Post by: bork on July 04, 2009, 03:55:17 AM: Enl, you get the win officially, but even if you had lost, you'd still be in the winners' bracket...Banuda was only supposed to stick with the two pre-selected characters, so match #2 is disqualified.

Originalz, you're headed to a slot in the losers' bracket now, mayne.

(Me)Bison vs (tiesto)Cammy

They were mostly close matches. I've always had problems fighting Cammy with Bison so I lost the 2nd round, but I managed to come back in the last round. Lucky for me, tiesto hasn't faced many Bison players.

We had an intense series of matches, guys. It was my Chun against Archie's Honda. First match was 2-3 him. I took a more defensive game and paid for it, but what really got me was flipping over right into his Ultra! I made sure not to do that again in the next match, and baited him into doing his Ultra with pretty good results. Second match went 3-0, me. Our third match was pretty close overall, but I took it 3-1 in the end. Easily the most challenging match I've had in this tournament!

RoboJ, we're up next!

Post by: Bacchus7 on July 17, 2009, 02:20:25 AM: Weird bout........first match we disconnected after we had a round apiece and identical health in third round (about 2/5 left). We played again and I beat his Ryu two matches in a row, was easy to punish baited dp's. He picked Guile third match, and that's when I started lagging, I got really lucky and almost perfected him first round, then won second round by the skin of my teeth. We just did best of five three-round matches (idk I wasn't host).
Title: Re: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread
Post by: bork on July 17, 2009, 03:49:09 AM: OK, just to make sure everyone left is clear, the matches left to play are:

Beezy Vs. Toonami 99--> Winner vs. Archie 4208

Bacchus7 Vs. Ch1nchila --> Winner Vs. Enl

The winners of the Archie and Enl matches will then play each other, and finally the winner of that match will play against me to decide the winner of the losers' bracket. Then it's onto the championship round against RoboJ FOR THE BORITO ~~GOLD~~ BRONZE!

FIVE matches?! :lol You won after you beat his Ryu the second time. There seems to be an issue with the non-Bore players and the rules.

THE WINNERS' BRACKET HAS BEEN DECIDED-- :bow ***ROBO J TAKES THE WINNERS' SIDE!!*** :bow2

We had a very close, hectic set of matches! I used Chun-Li in the first match and Cammy in the second and third matches; break down went 2-3 him, 3-1 me, then 2-3 him! I thought I had Robo after the second match, but he came back in round 2 of the final match and kicked my ass all over! It was an awesome bout! :D :D

So I'm gonna be in the very last losers' bracket match now. We are now waiting on the end of the losers' bracket matches. Tomorrow is DQ DQ DQ DQ DQ time bitches!

Who did he use? I dont suppose any of youse guys are going to do a tourney for the pc version, eh?
Title: Re: Street Fighter IV Tournament Thread
Post by: bork on July 18, 2009, 01:33:03 PM: RoboJ was M. Bison (Dictator) for all three matches.

I doubt there's enough people here with the PC version for that to work. Same reason we didn't have a tourney for the PS3 version, and sadly also the reason why I had to get people from outside the forum to join in. There aren't a lot of fightin' boritos here.

And then Ryu's like "I don't wife 'em up, I dick 'em down" and beat Vega like a claw-handed stepchild in the second round. Only Ryu didn't see the step-dad bear trap that Vega threw behind him in the third round.

Second match he switched it up to Bison and crushed me first two rounds. Then I eked out a couple of my own and built the super meter. Fifth round I went balls to the wall and tried a rolling izuna drop off of a back-handspring and landed it, crucial damage and I got the round.

And with that I am done with SFIV for the time being. Back to KoF!

Lyte Edge Vs. Bacchus7
-----------------------
THE SEMI FINAL MATCH
-----------------------

Lyte Edge wins, 2-0!

-----------------------

Match Breakdown:

Match 1: I was Chun (almost went with Cammy) and Bacchus picked Vega. I was fearful going in, since Bacchus has been on a roll, schooling everybody with his Claw. I basically tried to do my best to shut down his air game with lots of air throws and jumping HKs, and then get close and keep the pressure on when on the ground. Bacchus took the first round, but then I came back after that and won the first match, 3-1.

Match 2: The rematch; again I almost picked Cammy since Bacchus immediately went for Vega and I thought he might have had something up his sleeve. This match pretty much went the same as the last one, and I kept the pressure on to win the match 3-0.

I think the key to my winning was getting enough ground throws and air throws in on him, baiting his somersault flip kicks, and getting in some overhead flip kick into EX lightning legs off on him. Bacchus still got plenty off my life bar every round and there were no matches that were won with more than 25-30% life left.

-----------------------

Now it's time for the finals! Rematch time against RoboJ!

THE CHAMP IS HERE!

-----------------------
Lyte Edge Vs. RoboJ
-----------------------
THE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
-----------------------
WINNERS' BRACKET CHAMP VERSUS LOSERS' BRACKET CHAMP
-----------------------

***RoboJ*** wins, 2-0!

-----------------------

Match Breakdown:

Match 1: I went with trusty ol' Chun, and RoboJ brought out his awesome, crafty, adaptable Dictator (M. Bison)! This was a rematch from the final in the winners' bracket, where I was sent to the losers' brackets after a beating from Robo. Pretty much went the same way as our last battle; Robo was very careful about doing a lot of air stuff, and pretty much shut me down. I tried doing a few things differently, but ultimately went down, 1-3.

Match 2: This is where things got HEATED! It started out with RoboJ just crushing my Chun (again) for two rounds straight, but I didn't want the final battle to end like that and came back in the third and fourth rounds! We fought a hard battle in the final round, and it came down to both of us having around 20% life remaining, but in the end, Robo got me (2-3) with some very aggressive, smart tactics and took the crown to become the first-ever BORE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT STREET FIGHTER CHAMPION!

Congrats again on your victory, you earned it with your incredible Dictator game! :D

--------------------------

I'd like to thank everyone who took part in this tournament! I had a blast, and I hope you all did too! :) It was sad that we had three players drop out, although in Originalz' case, he was leaving to go on a long vacation, and since he notified me in advance, no problems were had. It sucks that Banuda Ultra and Jehuty had to be DQ'd, however. I never did get any messages from them afterward, and haven't seen any message board posts from them (on their site) since early July. If we do another tournament, I hope the next one will be able to be finished much quicker. :lol

The final break down:

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2620/3809990891_52da1870ec_o.jpg)

1. RoboJ
