2nd report

Monday arvo
Wata fate .. met Kev in Kaikan when I was just planning to play 2 games after grabbing a bite in the Shibuya area. I think he’s stalking me or something, just too much of a coincidence.

Monday nite
We went to Mikado next and the French players were there along with many top Japanese players …. Pierre, Rikimaru, Nitto, MOV, Nuki, Yakkun, Dirty♪, Uni. Rikimaru is untouchable, had a 20+ win streak finally broke by BK.

Uni is incredible too, the way he locks you down in a cornertrap and reacts to whatever you do next. In GameVision he had a 26 win streak going with all the monsters and foreigners playing him. Here at Mikado he had a 13 streak going before I got lucky and ended it.

Monday overnite
Decided to do another overniter, just cant pass up the chance. 3S is crack. BK mentioned they will be heading to Game Sakura next, Kev and I left first and arrived to play Takayuki. This guy’s Chun is even better than Rikimaru 8O I could hang with his Yun and Ken (Kev was keeping score that dickhead) but once he switched to Chun, my Dud was raped.

Soon the rest of the players came over from Mikado and I witnessed the best Ken I have ever seen. Ever. Kashi hitconfirms 2mk, I am not fucking joking. Out of say 200 over attempts, I saw just 1 connected 2mk into nothing, usually it’s either uppercut or sa3. When having breakfast with Issei the following morning we asked him who’s the best Ken …. “Kashi-san”. Then with a shake of the head and :x expression he added “Shoryu … very painful”. Kashi has so much confidence in double shoryu that he does an EX version for the 2nd portion on the easy characters. Normally its just the light version so that a miss cant be punished as you dun fly up so high. He does not fucking care.

Then the top players held a 3on3, you had to be there 8) Nuki, Tokido, Yakkun, Pierre, Issei, Kashi. Best highlight was Tokido versus Pierre. Chun did a doubledash to quickrolled Urien, groundcrossed him into lightning legs into sa2 :o These players are really really gods.

Before closing around 8am, we got to chance on the Arcadia magazine which had a feature article on all the international scene coming over to SBO. Pretty cool to see the Aus crew pic on there with Duckie flexing his sleeveless biceps.

Tues morning
Had brekky with the US and French crew. KOFiend has the best Yang I have ever played and he’s a really funny guy. Issei fell in love with the waitress lol she had perfect english and very cute. All in all, I am just loving it here at the moment despite being a a bit sick. The 3S communities all around the world is fantastic, it’s usually just idiots that ruin it.

So after waking up around 6pm I reckon I cant make it to the ‘All you can play” session at Sportsland for 300yen. I reckon Kev and Hong went today … I gonna pass and rest up so that I can prepare for the Sydney gays arriving tmr. Post more next time.
