People, is there a way to check if your 360 friends are online via a browser? I used to visit PlayStation.com when I was away from home to see if there was any action to get back for.

I may well be on at some point tonight, Duk is cool, really loved what little time I spent using Zafina though. She's crazy and awesome.

Joe is average tier, however his keep away, zoning game is pretty damn awesome, so when he's teamed up with the likes of Morrigan and Dr. Strange he can be pretty awesome. If you're Dieminion. Otherwise he's pretty difficult to use massively effectively. 

Persona 4 Arena now has a uber trollsome release date of September 14th. So it'll be double fightmans all weekend here. 

Always up for some Third Strike as well, if I'm still on friend lists and about sling me an invite.

Arcsys have nowt to do with it chum. Neither do Atlus, it was out eeeevvveeerryywhere else last month. And also it's the first PS3 game to be region locked so no go imports either. This is some butt EU publishing fuck up, it has it's fanbase desperate to play it who'll be glad it's only half a month late. Everyone else will be too busy Iron Fisting or will take one look at all the ANIMEEEEEE all over it and give it a pass.

Yes. 10. I will bring silent Russians and formerly Russian robots.

TTT2 is out the same day.

Phew. I'll probably soldier on for a bit, there's an achievement attached to doing the trials and I'm determined to get it. Probably doesn't help I'm using a standard pad. I have a fight pad somewhere, but I've no idea where I put it.

Talking of achievements, there's one in SF3 for watching a replay online with someone. Anyone up for helping me out with that?

SF2 basics carry strongly into SF3 and SF4. If you understand what you are doing in SF2 then you will be able to understand the mechanics of 3 and 4 much easier.

True as that is, the basics are perfectly easy to pick up in the later games, and there's no overlap in approach that way.

yup df df p is a good habit to pick up

In terms of Bollockoff being new to fighters there's no point getting him to play HDR or 3rd Strike for several good reasons.

1. The community is smaller and less active than SF4, and the community that is there is now largely comprised of seasoned veterans who will wipe the floor with him all day, it will be a very steep learning curve to overcome. 

2. Most of us here on B&B play/played SF4, so will be able to offer Bollockoff useful advice on tap, as opposed to having to keep referring him back to the relevent board on SRK or wherever.

Escape GGs for last night man! I feel like I totally redeemed myself after Sunday's terribad performance. Many a poke was landed, fewer raw df2 launchers were missed and more consistant oki reads did verily occur with Mr. Silent But Deadly. That said you were definitely ending the session on a high as that hat trick of Lee wins at the end were decisive. Also Baek had a night off pretty much so I didn't have to worry about loding 50% health for sticking a limb out at the wrong second!

The Hwo match was lolsome. I was just flapping about trying to recall stuff from years ago! Hopeless and hilarious in equal measure, especially my epic fail backturn because I forgot I was in his right foot stance not the deafult left foot stance. Pezzzzzzzzz gutted you were busy watching vids bro, we need to get a three way Tekken lobby soon.

If you see me about, yeah. When you're parrying Supers in trials, you have to tap the first forward before the activation flash. I think Dudley's the first one up. The game doesn't tell you that.

Gotcha, cheers.

As a Hakan player I approve of that message.

I noticed that the SF3 replay theatre has the option to upload videos to YouTube. Seeing as it didn't ask me for my user name or anything, I assume that it's been uploaded to a channel ran by Capcom or something; anyone know where I might find the video?

Sweet, cheers. I'm guessing it takes a while for things to show up, my video isn't in the list yet.

Who you liking, Blue?

Would happily play you with my rubbish Sean. Are we internet xbox friends?

that's pretty much it for me.

I think escape or someone uploaded a video or two of me and him scrapping through the upload channel, he could tell you what the wait time was like.

I think it took a couple of hours, but there would've been more traffic then.

The frame-rate was awful, so I capped it again myself. Theirs and mine.
