Wasup people I aint been here in a while anyway for those of you that don't know we recently had a UK 3rd strike tournament at Lutons absolution event The top 3 placers were fabion from france who took 1st, Hatim from London took 2nd and Hon (TheHY) Took 3rd.
There was vids of the finals filmed I will post any links to them as soon as they come online or whatever.
I was there and played with the guys Saturday on 3s had a huge 3rd strike session with TheHY Arma^ Mike Shige and Fabion but I didnt compete in the tournament due to a migrane I suffered but I will put things right in the winter -They Needed a Akuma to represent - theyll get one next time.
From the info I have on the tourny itself Fabion was dominating with his Patented Oro Juggles galore apparently, Hon and Hatim Showed off great displays with Urien and there were some good final 16 matches including a intense Ken/ Hugo match between Chainplate (malevalant poems) and ssongro - dunno his real name.
However the sticks were very poor I couldnt adjust to the USA ones at all Saturday evening and they were used for practice on Sunday and alot of peoples patience with them wore thin, then they moved to a Japanese ball stick cabinet for the tourny but this turned out to be worse the sticks were very unresponsive and even broke off at one point (when a guy was pulling off a gigas)And my good friend Arma^ was going through hell trying to execute Genei combos and to top it all the tourny was all done on the one 3s cabinet when they were originally gonna have 6.
Anyway Props to the guys I played-nice to find some people who can match up to me and to the winners and roll on winter for the sequel with hopefully good sticks.
Oh If anyone reads this who was there and has anything to add feel free to.

if you fight me you can either be hit by a Shun Goku Satsu (Gouki) or a Ageis combo (Urien) its your choice but either way your gonna get hurt! :D

You should start appearing more often,Shin S.!

Anyway,sounded like fun! I'm barely getting into 3rd Strike again myself. It's an old game,but it's a classic!

Heh,when I was in the UK,I couldn't get used to the sticks you guys use. I'm used to the good old American ones.

The person called "songro" has been to our local arcade in the midlands, i know his name & i think he did not perform that well, (he had to get used to our sticks & our surroundings i suppose, i know how it feels) our sticks are perfect anyway, they are like dreamcast sticks but alittle tighter, anyway he posed little threat to me what so ever & i rarly play 3rd strike anyway.
He came again about 3 months ago & he played more yun than hugo, i never fought a hugo that was anygood yet, but he could parry 1 of my link combos when i play yang. He has good determination to be the best at the game, but i never thought he would go to luton to just get destroyed! thats what happend right sr wilson, how did he perform.

Anyway, if you have problems with your sticks why don't you hpld the competition in wolverhampton, at least you can play at your best & not complain, we have other capcom machines & snk one's too.

I agree that the french are strong at this game, they play total random to make sure you parry nothing, exactly what i do. The matches i see from anywhere else play normal so you can see there strategy easy. If you see a match with alot of parrying going on then i would have to say they are playing the game wrong.

Heh actually you see alot of parrying in french matches I personally don't parry much but I can parry pretty much anything if need be when I fought fabien from france he was trying to parry everything -the french style where as im a offence style and selective parrier I was able to use his own parries against him.
But lots of parrys in french 3s is common actually.

Oh and about ssongro he got to the final 16.

Well i managed to beat him 13-0 & i let him win if i where to change my character, yang,alex,ken,ryu.

He improved the second time but not by much, he could improve rapidly if he practiced with the right people. But i wonder where i would have came in that tourney, to me it sounds as if it was not that good a tourny if he can place in the top 16. So there are not more than 16 decent 3rd strike players in the uk who want to compete in london. I'm confused, i thought there would be at least 20 good players in london alone. Sorry if it sounds harsh!
I 'am not really boasting, i am just suprised he (ssongro) could make it that far, good for him.

I guess out of the UK 3s scene Hon Yip, Hatim, SrWilson (me),Chainplate were the strongest players at absolution also fabien from france as we have said but us 5 mentioned here were classed as the strongest 3s players by most people,I belive the UK scene of 3s has quietened down these days, but yeah props to SSongro for doing as well as he did especially with Hugo too.

I thought that there would be more than just 3 good players who could maybe dominate the other 60, if there where more than 60 players.

Thanks for the info "shin w"
I told some friends about it today & they said that they wished they would of came along & maybe got in the top 3. Thats of course unless the top 3 guys just own people at 3rd strike anyways, then we would have to settle for the positions after the top 3, then again i'm judging the competition on ssongro's perfomance, i'm not sure if i wan't to see the vids or not (i have only a 56 k modem & time is valuable to what i download)

Could you mark the quallity of all the matches out of 10. Compared to what you have seen out there already.

yeah there was tekken tag ,tekken 4 ,soul calibur 2.

The finals were good between Fabien and Hatim I belive they just filmed the finals.
the matches I had were 7-8 out of 10 but I was playing casual if i was in the tourny (I was a fave to win) I think id make a match special Judgeing from the final set we have though between Fabion and Hatim id give them about a 8.
