Pics and vids dont lie, fighting games took 2nd stage.

Me house u long time

July 2004 was quite a blur to me as I slept with 4 different guys over a period of 2 days. I agreed to house some interstate guests as my accommodation at that time was literally 5 minutes walk away from the venue of the tournament OHN3. And all 5 of my roommates were conveniently MIA

Slapper Joe from Queensland was my 1st victim, as he received the full brunt of my roommates’ locked doors. What was intially a nice soft mattress and a room to himself turned into a sofa in the living room. Little did I know karma comes back to bite my ass 2 years later.

Next up was the Melbourne trio of Ho, PaulT and Kechu. I found it weird that they didn’t complain about resting on sofas, maybe Aussies are born whing …… WHOAWHOA I wouldn’t go there.

I wrote a log which went:

Day -1 (Thursday)
Slapper Joe was coming to town and I was his gracious host. Saw Slapper there about to collapse from exhaustion + lack of sleep, talking to QQQQQQQ. Then saw Kei there beasting the CPU. hell WTF just 1 game I said to them …. then played 4. QQQQQQ, being the nice guy he is, offered to drive us back to my place. I took advantage of his niceness and got him to drive to my carpark. WTF this guy is so nice. Showed Slapper around, chatted awhile b4 leaving him to my undersized sofa. Good luck sleeping on that.

Day 0 (Friday)
Woke up to find Slapper in the same position I last saw him (awake and sitting). Owned by furniture. Fuck maybe he didn’t sleep well. Still asked him anyway, I’m so nice. Then went back to sleep as I still got work later. Slapper apparently went sightseeing wink wink. Woke up and still no news of the Melb invasion. Feeling pretty good about another top3 3S finish, I cleared some stuff off my cupboard for the trophy and sword. After that, got a call from Jackkk announcing THE ORIKU has arrived. OK, playtime. After getting there, saw this new armpit hair guy WTF, turned around and oh it’s Aurik. Hi hi hi the usual stuff and still beasting with genei-Yun. I got a few games in and beasted everyone except myself …. goood sign …..

Left for work and Slapper wanted out of my place hahahaha apparently he hooked up with superone for a cheap motel so yeah ummmm ok. After work, playtime again and saw the rest of the interstate ppl as well as IXL X-copying ‘never miss’ Yun. He’s going to do well tommorow, Jackkk was cleaning up as well, bbbbbbenson is/was shit. Tommorow will be fun.

Day 1 (Saturday)
Woke up to a Jackkk call, “KECHU’S HERE!!!” Fuck no. OK, after cursing whatever flight took them here, I got to playtime and hebretto immediately shoved a cam into my face and started asking duhhh questions like “are u going to win?” I was taken aback bcos I thought FAB’s brother-in-law was doing the docu, now is hebretto married and are they related now? Confusedd ….

Anyway. tried to be witty with my answers but turned out lame and hebretto went to bother someone else so that worked out in the end. Said hello to Ho, PaulT and Kechu, and ignored Haiichi hahaha only a fucking marvel player CvS and Marvel just started and ppl started crowding around both games. 3S had a big crowd as well, MANY new faces. Some very good players but they didn’t enter the tourny, thanks to fucking PaulT’s denjin-Ryu. Fucking 20+ win streak scared some shit off other players. I remembered Jacckkk was streaking to 10+ wins as well, take it easy guys!!! Warm up only!!! hahaha Also, Ho has the most stylish Ken ever, very fun to watch!!

Finalists for CvS very interesting, I just managed to catch extraguy’s Blanka c.HP Kechu into elimination. bbbbenson screamed like a girl, or was that Prism? Anyway, pro-Sydney crowd celebrated everything. Next was watching Haiichi X-copy that Magneto infinite shit eKiN usually does on others. Big boo from CvS side meaning Melb won it, Kechu confirming it by acting like a dick. After which 3S started and Slapper trash talked before it backfired on him. I then got eliminated by Solidsnake “CAN WE BAN MOKATO?” makoto. Bah, now out and nothing to do, I took over some of the organiser duties and watched upsets following upsets. Shaaaaaa, Ho, Oriku and Deadpool all went :’( (group hug). Final 8 was so varied character-wise with Akuma, Makoto, Ken, Ken, Yun, Yun, Yun ….. ok maybe not.

Final 3 Jack vs Kechu, Jackk was so energy if he close his mouth his eyes will pop out. I later told him he was blinking at a rate of 2 times/sec. Non stop. I think he summoned a deity to assist him in playing 3S. Fuck it’s scary if u stop and just observe him for a minute. Next came the finals and the 2 interstate gentlemen decided to do a Sean mirror match. Sydney eyes started to roll, hahaha but no one cares. We are so shit. bbbbenson thought I was the Kechu killer before the tourny, hahahaha I always prove people wrong, in the wrong way. Which is right.

Prizes given, Oriku got BOP “You serious? Fuck Yeah!” hebretto got 2nd as I predicted!! Things wrapped up pretty quick as ppl were hungry and stuffy. Now a angry mob is heading to no particular destination, some wanted to get pissed in a bar, others like me just wanted food. Foooood. Got to Superbowl, thank you whoever led us to that place. We had like 20+ ppl walk in demanding food on a Sat nite. Customers were looking at us funny, I tried looking back funny at them but they were busy staring at Prism and Shaaaa matching pink and blue jumpers. That is some gay shit.

Shared the table with Marvel players. Simon can come up with the weirdest topics and funny shit. Alegu and eKiN couldnt stop laughing but still finished their meals. Chinese restaurants are the best, you order something and then hope it’ll turn out alright. The other table had some serious ordering going on, Oriku finished portions meant for 3 guys, and dishes outnumber rice. I also viewed some of the photos taken and apparently, Jackkk has a crush on Oriku, snapping him about 6 times consecutively in his sleeveless tee. Jackk’s GF take note.

Done eating and had to bring the Melb trio back to my place. I had to leave my motorcycle behind as I couldnt possibly take 3 pillions so it was back to my place, get them comfy and then back to Playtime to fetch my bike. At 3 fucking am in the cold and wind. Haha I nearly got killed on the way back when a female driver decided to merge INTO me. But SF has taught me well …amen…

The 3 of them were dead when I got back. Kechu was pretending so I played along and tiptoed out of sight to my room. Next morning Ho and PaulT had to leave early, bummer they couldnt go to the console event. Kechu and I later met up with Oriku and Haiichi to the console day location. Thanks to Jackk who couldn’t get up. Hahhahaha being possessed has its drawbacks …….

The year OHN grew up

OHN3 simply put, grew up in the year 2004. Armed with previous 2 years of experience, the organisers set out to deliver one of the most anticipated event of the year. Signups were the highest ever and rivalries between the states were once again renewed.
