GGs mate. I don't know, I mean I could hear you 2 yapping on although it wasn't THAT clear, but yeah I tried the mute switch on and off and was saying 'TESTING TESTING 1 2 3' lol but seems like you guys couldn't hear me? My mate has a mic too I'll try his tomorrow...
@Kreeeee
It'll be next Tuesday.
Everyone who is coming is entering SvB, and there is a long shot of Ryan Hart coming too (friend of a friend)
It's on the picadillly line towards Heathrow, about 45mins from Green Park.
Ideally if you came straight from work, you could get there by 7pm, and play till 11.30pm, so you can catch the last train.
I'll text you on Monday to see if you're still up for it, no need to bring a stick.

I really appreciate it mate, but...
I will be travelling down with luggage from brum, so need to sign into the Mayfair and drop off my stuff first, potentially delaying things.
Will definitely attend, if the timing is still ok.

Update my trust then will ya.
Anyway I seemed to have figured out my 'sound' problem. I connected the xbox to my monitor via component, the colours look too washed out for my liking but I will probably stick to it, I preferred the picture through HDMI though. With the video signal going through component, I plugged the audio (red and white) into this ANCIENT panasonic DVD player I dug out, which has a 5.1 speaker setup with it. 2 of the speakers and the sub still work, so with them connected to the xbox, I get 'decent' quality sound.
Regarding the mic, you guys could have told me last night that I had to go into settings to un-mute it!
To be honest, whenever i go round his, i've never left his house earlier than 2am, so there's plenty of time to have some games even if you come late.
You can get a night bus to Hammersmith, then get the No.9 back to the hotel if you want to stay past the last trains.
If needs be, you can probably hitch a ride back with me to West Kensington, and you'll be able to take the No.9 bus to Green Park.
It will be a late one though

ggs earlier hyv, sorry I had to rush off like that. The first time though I've no idea what happened, just got kicked out of live but managed to sign straight back in. I do enjoy using Guile now and again, speaking of which where is Cav these days? Did I send him into early retirement?
EDIT: Arth and Lucifer, I was trying to set up tourny mode last night as a mate was online who also wanted to play! You guys seemed to jump in then straight back out??? We need 4 ppl for a tourny mode session so put your names down here...

I will be up for a tourney Adz, especially if you use Guile. Mr.Balrog was not happy last night when you taunted him by putting your shades on and had to beat you in response
I'll be around tomorrow evening.

^ lol I am more then happy to use Guile, next time the shades are only coming out when I know I have definately won
Hyv, you did seem out of practice today, your Chun Li was better when we played ages ago. I suppose you will catch either me, arth, rav or lucifer on so plenty of opposition to get you back into the flow of things...
Signing on now for abit...

ggs Rav, I think I can use Guile against quite a few of your weaker chars which is something, but that ****ing Dhalsim... 
Such a dirty player honestly lol, I think I need to watch a few games of Arth playing as Ryu vs your Dhalsim to see how he gets in close. The first time we played, were you blindfolded or sumit?

I shouldn't tell you this, but your game needs more hurricane kicks when we have a fireball war, and more random dp's. Other than that, try to jump at a certain distance where my st.rh can't get you, you'll halve the distance almost immediately.
Just be patient.
With your Guile, Art and kreeee will tell you that i play often with a very very good Guile, it's 5-5 with Dhalsim, but around 7-3 in Balrogs favor.
I feel really comfortable with the Guile v Balrog match, it's just getting the hang of different play styles, but i feel it's in Balrogs favor.
Kreeee will prob tell you otherwise, my mate handed it to him pretty badly when they played that matchup
But Kreeee did own him with DeeJay though.

Guile is a counter pick to Balrog, and unless the Guile player is an idiot, it's a very hard match for Rog.
DeeJay is also weak to Guile, but assuming it's a weak guile, his poor wake up game can be abused.
It's one of the reasons I really dislike this game. The whole game is about counter picking, so you can never really tell who is the better player and unless you pick a generic all-rounder like Ryu, Akuma or Guile (and now Chun?) there will be be some seriously biased matchups.
I've not seen Adz's Guile but I highly doubt he's a methodical and calculated zoning Guile judging by his Ryu play (SB <> zoning) otherwise your Rog would have struggled Ruben.

I meant the first time we played, on PC.
I can tell your Balrog is comfortable vs Guile, I definately need Ryu in that matchup. Next time I want a session vs just Dhalsim lets say first to 5 or something, gives me enough time to adjust and try figure him out!

Adz, for Guile vs Rog:
- Use lp SB a lot, Rog can't hit you with an ex dash through it on reaction, and you can flash kick them all on block.
- Abuse Balrogs bad wake up game with jlk clp cmp FK and tixk throws from the clk/clp.
- All dash punches can be (cmp) FK on reaction.
- Use mp/chp for AA unless you have ultra, then fish fro the trade FK into Ultra
- Never run back, and only move forward slowly. Guile is a tank and a beast in the corner (clp cmp sb fhp HURTS!).
- sb -> Ultra/FK/sweep when Rog taps.
- FK all dash punches/tap on block except max range lpdp and ex armour breaker. Max range lpdp should be flash kicked/cmp's on reaction.
Basically Guile shuts down all of rogs getting in tools if you know what you're doing.

Guile, Chun and Abel are terrible matchups for Rog.

I was up for a 4 person tourney, but i saw that Lucifurr left before the 1st game was played. No point in playing a tourney with 3 people, so i left as well.
About Ryu vs Dhalsim, the ways i use to get in are..
focus through his limbs - ravl used to through out limb after limb from mid range, so it was easy to time dashes through all of them in one go, but now he throws in random pauses between them so it's a bit harder now
jump towards him so that you land just outside his b.HK range. You can probably punished a whiffed b.HK too.
EX fireball-ing limbs and rush in.
Random DP a limb and rush in.
As ravl said, hurricane kick is useful to get in too, since dhalsims fireball recovery is slow. Thanks for the tip Ruben
Can't believe i've never used that Also, learn to do ryu's option select hurricane kick after a knockdown. If dhalsim teleports when you jump in on his wakeup, you'll catch him with the hurricane kick. If he doesnt, you won't do the hurricane kick and you can pressure as you normally would.
To do the option select hurricane kick, jump in with FP, then immediately do the command for hurricane kick before you land, followed by whatever you'd normally do after the FP.
If FP connects (block or hit - no teleport), hurricane doesnt come out, but 'whatever you'd normally do after the FP' does come out.
If FP missed (teleport), hurricane comes out immediately and hits dhalsim when he reappears.
It's pretty satisfying when you do your first option select
, like the first time you ever managed dp -> FADC -> Ultra in a real match.Edit: I forgot to say, i don't actually do that well with Ryu vs Dhalsim! It might be my worst matchup vs ravl.
