[Shinjin]

Hello there everybody, its time for some swedish GuiltyGear-action! Now as good as all the videos from last weekends are converted and done, we thought that we´d share them with you "zilly americanz" etc. We´ll probably only upload the playoffs... but you´ll never know!

http://www.guiltygear.se - for reports etc.


SEASON 2 ROUND 1

First off, the stockholm-ranbat:

Semi: Xzi(ja) vs CheeseAbuser(ed)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=lMpYrWPdsEk
Semi: Cyrox(ve) vs Cr0v(sl)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NW560UDQZro
Bronze: Cr0v(sl): vs CheeseAbuser(ed)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xXzQHYTSeSA
Final: Xzi(ja) vs Cyrox(ve)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=7HAjWDx0mrs

And now for some Lund-action! Now most of us from the top4 of lund have begun our transition towards playing with stock (Yonasu being the exception) so keep that in mind (blablabla). But we´ll get to beastin´ excecution . Almost there! :)

Semi: Shinjin:BA: vs Yonasu:SL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLGj3SihUw4
Semi: Nehle:DI: vs Caer:TE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Y-cGajBWk
Bronze: Nehle:DI: vs Yonasu:SL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waTlx8PRJO0
Final: Shinjin:BA: vs Caer:TE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVRvh2Gl2KY

With that being said, hope you enjoyed. Next ranbat will be this Sunday. This time we´ll probably be quicker with the vids (at least lund). Though Nehle wont be able to attend, cause he is in China being Chinese with the Chinese. :psyduck:

[xenophobian]

lol @ all the missed FB hyappos vs. cyrox IS XZI A FB SPAMMING SCRUB ? lol jk, don´t get mad at me shinjin ^_~, xzi just didn´t seem to take the whole thing serious imo

[Caer-caveral]

Bah, next time I won't be missing out on all the huge amounts of damage that's just lying around. As they say, next time, Gadget!

Feels good to be starting up with this again. Also feels pretty good with the sticking, even though it's hell of an embarassament when I miss a quartercircle-input :v:

[ReetFighter]

Hey guys, awesome job on the videos by the way! I just wanted to tell you there are several RANBAT events going on in the `Event Announcements` forum. If you guys wanted to move this event there you could draw a larger crowd (if that's what you're aiming for). Also, where's the results >.> Who's on top hehee?

[Shinjin]

Why would I get mad? I think everybody in Europe sucks after watching B3C-vids etc.

Well, I just kinda did like we did last season and posted the vids in a thread here in the guilty-pleasures part of the forum. But I guess if the admin felt like it they could move it. But we will just post the vids and stuff like that in this thread so.

[Nehle]

Don't look at me~~~~!

OHMIGOSH THAT STICK DIZZY SURE SUCKS HUH? ;(

When I'm done being Chineses with the Chinese in China though, I'll be beasting. Holy++

Ranbats go in the Event Announcements forum if you're ANNOUNCING AN EVENT, as opposed to posting GUILTY GEAR-RELATED VIDEOS.

[Hellmonkey]

omg shinjin <3

watching videos now

ahhh you need to confirm your hits more, and combo corner throw into tatami j.PSD SD. If you're going to throw sakura out with tension FRC it and follow up! Less mawarikomi!!!

Be careful about throwing kabari when testament or slayer are airborne as they both can punish it from the air by going over it (or slayer j.HS through it).

Beware airdashing in at Slayer, don't be impatient!!!! Although Yonasu doesn't seem to much, he can 2S and counterhit j.S easy for huge a combo... a lesson I quickly learned from a few rounds in Japan. Some counters seem to be random/spontaneous.. I don't know if this is intentional or not but generally not a good idea vs a character who can kill you off a counterhit -_-. You should be more careful with stuff like setups into 5D as he can forcebreak it for huge damage if he reacts or predicts. You should do wakeup running 6K more as it punishes wakeup dandy as well as wakeup throw.

More confirming! vs both slayer and testament you can combo grounded 5S j.D fairly easily as they're both tall.. I don't think you went for it once! On a normal kabari low air hit you can combo into 5P and 5S. j.D FRC ad tatami relaunch is better damage and closer to the corner than j.D FRC j.SD. Lots of other chances for more damage in the corner with added j.P j.S or j.P j.K in your loops, that's not a big deal though.

Overall good sense and baiting though, as well as blocking. You just need to work on overall zoning and offense, as well as learning to be more patient with those characters. It might have something to do with still adapting to stick, but some of these problems are not just input related. I just got back from Japan.. they do not punish those dangerous things lightly :P

Sorry if it's too much criticism.. after playing a lot in Japan I really have started to analyze people deeper >_<

[Hellmonkey]

Actually I've been informed that you just need more O and razorcrane, my bad.

[Shinjin]

Haha, well I haven´t had too much for AC-playing so I still cant handle all the confirms/combos. But my sense is OK I guess. I adapt quite quickly so If the start punishing my shit I´ll stop, I like doing bullshit too much though :keke:

I haven´t learned the 2K 5S jD frc ad-tatami combo yet, but I´m going to start doing 2k 5S jD after landing from an air-pressure-string so I can get the knockdown. Soo alot of the stuff you point out is because I still haven´t learned all the combos and analyzed what options are best. I just try to focus on playing at the moment, since I have to prioritize other stuff atm. But i´ll try too play more calmly next time.

Thx for the tips though! I´ll have a look at those SoCal-ranbatvids and comment your stuff there (in that thread though). I think I heard something about Insufficiant O.

[Hellmonkey]

the last one is just me getting hit by volcanic viper and sol command grab -_-

Standing gatling to j.D is really important even without the FRC. After finally starting to confirm it the fights against taller characters got a lot easier.

[Spirit Juice]

Standing gatling to j.D is really important even without the FRC. After finally starting to confirm it the fights against taller characters got a lot easier.

This would only help you if you had O.

[Hellmonkey]

actually it's still useful while turtling! you don't need forward velocity for it!

[Caer-caveral]

New big tourney in Japan coming up: Dream Fighter's Festival 2

http://www.guiltygear.se

[Hellmonkey]

thanks for info as always shinjin

[AtTheGates]

tack shinjin!!

[zaeris]

Don't look at me~~~~!

OHMIGOSH THAT STICK DIZZY SURE SUCKS HUH? ;(

When I'm done being Chineses with the Chinese in China though, I'll be beasting. Holy++

Its quite understandable since you'r getting use to playing on a stick but it was heart wrenching seeing dizzy get beaten up :vbang: .

Hope to see some of your beasting actions in the near future.

[Caer-caveral]

Two ranbats have gone by with no updates, because... ehm, I guess we're just kinda lazy that way =p

The second round of ranbats had Nehle missing and, due to unforseen circumstances, capping was all whack. In any case, it ended with the following results:

1: Yonasu (sl) +10,5p
2: Caer (te) +7p
3: Shinjin (ba) +5p
4: Godfrog (ve) +2,5p
5: Zae +0,5p


For the most recent ranbat, Nehle returned from his excursion to China, but instead Shinjin finally succumbed to the pressure of his studies and had to withdraw from this round. He will hopefully have time to join us for the next one.
Only 7 players for this one, resulting in one massive pool and single elim finals.

Vids:
Pool play: Caer vs Yonasu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmVcMDE8zzQ
Semi1: Yonasu vs Godfrog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwd9uHLMLcA
Semi2: Caer vs Nehle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKKNqea-mgo
Third: Nehle vs Godfrog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJjqNlksPeQ
Final: Caer vs Yonasu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-4nC-VQa8k


Next ranbat this weekend, which will be the last one before Showdown in Lund II. Gotta get my quartercircles down by then :v:
And in case anyone's wondering, guiltygear.se is kinda in limbo for the moment, mainly due to the driving force (Shinjin) being so busy, as mentioned.

[Hellmonkey]

Thanks for the update as always.

LOL at "tick throw, third strike"

[Merilyn]

The two announcers were pretty bad.

But one of them, and good god, he was about to die or something.

[Nehle]

There were three announcers :v:

Stick execution -gettiong closer, but not there yet :sweatdrop:

[Hellmonkey]

I wonder if there is any info on the qualifiers for the dream fighter's festival

[Caer-caveral]

New ranbat, only 6 combatants this time. Pools ended with

1: Yonasu
2: Caer
3: Shinjin
4: Nehle
5: Godfrog
6: Paddy

Vids:

Semi 1: Yonasu vs Nehle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOC-_xHp-Mw
semi 2: Caer vs Shinjin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfBFSY41CeU
Third: Caer vs Nehle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XogbuFmvlnE
final: Yonasu vs Shinjin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFBscL3sfxY

Shinjin did well after his 1-ranbat-recess, picking up his game after the pool play, so congrats to him!

I have insufficient X :(

And I pity you fools who do not understand the hillarity of our comments :v:

[Zaido]

those are some good matches!

[Hellmonkey]

Razorcrane is youzansen not tetsuzansen! lol at insufficient O and the comments in general.

Shinjin you need to be doing throw -> tatami -> j.P in the corner, you can do it from a further distance and it does (especially when you throw many times in a match) significantly more than 2K 5S (and you should be getting the extra hits after airdash). When you hit with standing dust from far distances midscreen you want to j.S j.S instead of j.S j.HS because the HS will whiff. Airdashing in with j.S or coming down with j.HS from high up are suicidal against slayer although it seems like you stopped doing it after the first set. <3 to all the Swedish GG players

[Shinjin]

Well, I decided to go ghetto. Like, that was the first time I played guilty for like a month or so, and at casuals before the ranbat I played only May :P

But yeah, once I get more time I´ll learn AC-Baiken and not play that ghetto-ass-style :) But for now i´m satisfied with just having fun and will go for the ghetto.

Nice ranbat guys, see you next week! And the week after that its the Swedish Guilty-Gear/melty-tournament Showdown in Lund so expect vids from that too!

[Caer-caveral]

Razorcrane is youzansen not tetsuzansen! lol at insufficient O and the comments in general.

Not anymore, it's not. I mean, come on. Tetzusansen looks way more like what a razorcrane should look like! :eng101:
Your concept has been hijacked.

[Hellmonkey]

wtf, when baiken says youzansen in Slash it sounded like razorcrane in one of her voice sets

that's where it all comes from :o

but now that youzansen is pretty awful i guess i can approve the change.

[Doomscyther]

Sorry im not allowed to post here.

[Hellmonkey]

wtf?

[rtl42]

god shut up doomscyther.

[Zakuta Asura]

reeeeeeeeeeezrcrane~

Good matches!

[Yonasu]

I still won the third one, dammit. Get your facts straight :eng101:
I'll pick up my second one tomorrow.

[Shinjin]

Pch, THE MASTER wasn´t there so who gives a damn about that ranbat *lol* :cool: :cool:

Feel free to comment. u2b is fucking up for me atm but should be fixed soon I guess.

[Hellmonkey]

LOL at the jam combo and crowd reaction

[rtl42]

Yonasu: in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOFxdcZLtoc at 0:53 when you hit Jam with CH 5P into air combo -- if the opponent is too far in the air for the B&B air combo to work, go for damage like j.K xx FLJ or something. (i'm not sure what else you could connect after 5P x2 -> j.K, with that spacing.) at least, off-hand, i think the damage should work out to be better than j.K-2K -> j.K -> dj.K.

actually, looking at the set-up again, it looks like maaaaybe j.K -> dj.K -> dj.D could have worked, but maybe not. kinda iffy.

[Yonasu]

Rtl42: j.k dj.k j.D j.2k etc might have worked, and is what I shouldve gone for as a tensionless combo. But I think j.k dj.k DHD wouldve connected, and probably finished the match right then. My only defense is that I didn't have that much exp. vs Jam and her very small hitbox then.

Thanks for the input though, Slayer requires alot more thougth concerning spacing in his combos now and his game becomes so much better when you learn to deal with it.

[Shinjin]

The 27th of January at Lund we at the GuiltyGear.se will host the first round of the joined ranbat-season of GBG (gothenburg) and LUND. Top players from the southern part of Sweden will rally to find of who is the biggest cheese of 2008. If you happen to be interested in participating, feel free to contact us!

Rules
No characterswap allowed
Best of 3 matches all the way, first a round-robin to decide the seeds for the single-elimination brackets.
20:- ante, winner takes all. Free for non Swedes, of course!

If you are not going to participate, you will at least get to enjoy some entertaining vids filled with viking-hype (hype too fierce for the timid to watch). Stay tuned for results and vids!

ATM 13confirmed participants.

(Edit: thx Nukleus. of course I meant January)

[Hellmonkey]

you guys going to record?

[Nehle]

Yea. We're looking to buy a brand new capping card (again) for the occasion

[Mechanica]

LOL that Jam player owned everyone for free with ground-to-air 2HS

[Nehle]

SOUTHERN CROSS SEASON 1 EPISODE 1
Yea, we played this yesterday. It was awesome. Everybody who showed up was awesome. our brand-new capping card was awesome. My brand-new Robo-ky (aptly named Awersome-Robo), was not awesome, but whatever, we all had great times anyways. Shinjin has nominated himself to "most awesome moment" in his match against Yonasu, but I'm not gonna spoilt what it is.

Anyways, 12 people, two pools, eight playoff places, two bags of candy, one sofa. A lot was at stake

To save myself all the write-up, here's a chart showing the pools. Nekomon, who some might remember from S2iL, won his group after a strong showing. Clearly better nerves this time than at S2iL
http://guiltygear.se/images/sc1e1pools.jpg

Then the playoffs began. I'm only gonna link to the chart for that so it won't spoil those who want to see the awesome video.

Playoff chart. Boring and full of spoilers (http://guiltygear.se/images/sc1e1playoff.jpg)

THIS IS MUCH MORE FUN THAN LOOKING AT A CHART (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7360729579066136787)

Yea, I know some obvious mistakes I did, but if someone wants to give more better pointers than I'm all for that too :kitty:

So there you go, enjoy a great show.

[Kurum]

Nekomon seemed like he was having no problems with anyone in the tournament. If he started baiting bursts, using pretty maze, and doing different block strings he'd be even better. Sweet matches.

[Shinjin]

I will stop catching colds and partying the day before ranbats from now on. But I did do the most cocky-thing of us all though.

[Zaido]

Rtl42: j.k dj.k j.D j.2k etc might have worked, and is what I shouldve gone for as a tensionless combo. But I think j.k dj.k DHD wouldve connected, and probably finished the match right then. My only defense is that I didn't have that much exp. vs Jam and her very small hitbox then.

Thanks for the input though, Slayer requires alot more thougth concerning spacing in his combos now and his game becomes so much better when you learn to deal with it.

you probalby dont even need the 2nd djK to do DHD, you probably can do it after jK ->j2K ->DHD-> the rest

Jam is one of those characters that have those floaty hit boxes, that are also vertically big, yet horizontally thin ><...

and Slayer is one of those character where you have to be at any time change ur combo and know how much tension you need to do what so its tough...

[Shinjin]

This will be the European GuiltyGearShowdown of this year, trust me. One 3on3-tourney and one singles tournament. Here are some of the teams:

Mr.Wall, Amn and Koas is "Barbecued Dolphin, now with a touch of HYAPPO!"
Yonasu, Steph and Rensengeki is "COUNTERpick +1"
Shinjin, Caer and Xzi is "The Famous Team SBO'08"
Elric, LURI and Iglo is "1Fast 2Furious"
Neophos, Svampen and Nekomon is "What would slayer do with a tranny doll?!"
Baykou, KB and Ryukim is "Novice Team"
Paddy, Zae and Godfrog is "Team 勝" (translation, team victory)
umgogo, SZA & OCV-BEAST KURO is "NWO"
Millia, Nooj & Mitsurugi is ""Louis XVI Team"

GET HYYYYPE!!! SWEDEN HAS THE BEST GG-HYPE-COMMUNITY SO THIS WILL BE AWESOME!!! We will show you americans how the western gg-community should be like, and hope that you will try to follow in our awesome ways (you have good players and stuff so).

--------

Anyways, to the second part of my post:

We had a tournament this weekend here in lund since Vs2k6-winner Steph had just gotten back from working in Barcelona and here you have two vids with him from the tournament that representatives from 'the famous team sbo'08' won.

Feel free to comment!

[Hellmonkey]

awesome, glad to hear it's in English too, for the sake of us understanding commentary ;)

[rtl42]

"What would slayer do with a tranny doll?!"
indeed :psyduck:

[RageBot]

How will all of the players go to sweden?
Airplane? Train?

[Shinjin]

as fas as I know they will all go by airplane, and most of them with RyanAir.

[Zakuta Asura]

Underground UK players eh? Go to Sweden and not SVB? Traitors!

[Mitsurugi]

Zakuta >
Blatant !

Yup, Ryanair for most of us it seems. Skavsta airport will be crowded with GG people ! Are you interested in coming, RageBot ?

[Shinjin]

Coungster and Joe Higashi just got confirmed.

This is gonna be to epic! Biggest GG-tourney in Europe ever :keke:

[RageBot]

Zakuta >
Blatant !

Yup, Ryanair for most of us it seems. Skavsta airport will be crowded with GG people ! Are you interested in coming, RageBot ?

Can't :gonk:
I have too much stuff to do for school right nor, nor do I have like 400$ for the airplane ride :vbang:

[kekken3]

Hey, everyone!
Obviously mindless Champion notified me about it only now, though I've told him about this months in advance and he's the one following the international scene much more than me.

Anyway, the dates seem to be good and the scale of the tournament seems epic, so it'd be a big waste not to try and be there. :yaaay:

Right now Ryanair arrival on friday late evening seems like the best option we have and looking at http://www.bitterharmony.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=2300&start=0 I was relieved to see that the GGXX tourneys have been moved to saturday (which makes a lot of sense, as friday is usually the "arrival" day for everyone and people can get late).

So yeah, in short, if everything goes well, Champ and I will try our best to be there. :yaaay:
Don't know yet about a third player but considering I've only found out about it half an hour ago, plans seem to be going well. :kitty:

[Shinjin]

fucking awesome!!

I just got hyped even MORE! I heard good things about you guys from Caer, and i'm looking forward to play you AND talk with you!

If you excuse me, im heading over to Sparta to play some casuals with Yonasu and Caer :kitty:

[Nehle]

:kitty:
Hey guys, glad to hear you'll be coming! I'm really psyched about this now! Basically my entire wishlist for "awesome people who should come" has now been filled. Looking forward to seeing you again.

hypest tournament ever! go!

[xenophobian]

i´m so pissed that i can´t make it...may my brother loki lay his wrath upon the european scene ^_~

[Hellmonkey]

Aww, your videos are awesome, I wanted to see your Jam in action :[

[Harem]

wow sounds epic

[Hellmonkey]

I believe in the strength of Shinjin Baiken. Don't let me down.

[Shinjin]

Hellmonkey I wont! This time, I intend to be sober for all tournaments and with my new stick I can actually hit tk yzn-solid. I will show you my (almost) true STRENGTH and become the official Best Baiken of Europe.

/ That Strong Baiken-player of the Northern Countries

Edit: lols, reading my post it kinda I didn't really emphasise it enough. Let me be clear: Europe sucks, Sweden rules, and the results will prove this. Booyakasha!

[Harem]

Europe sucks, Sweden rules

lol

[Hellmonkey]

It's like the California of Europe.

Without the illegals :psyduck:

[Digital Watches]

It's like the California of Europe.

Without the illegals :psyduck:
Everyone in California is from Mexico.
Everyone in Oregon is from California.
It's just a matter of time, man. Eventually everyone will be at the north pole.

[rtl42]

lol, by induction on california...

A heartwarming quotes from the SVB'08-thread at the brittish-forum:


More like everybody that has a name in Euro is going there (showdown) or nowhere lol. Cant blame them. That event is a GG players dream. People not only go there to see who is the best, but to learn. 3 days of casuals and tournament is a rich experience. I think every character will be present. As they say, you have (had) to be there!

We will do our best to make it the most awesome tournament ever! I hope you all will help us by taking part of the hype during matches :kitty:

And another quote, just because seems like someone knows shit:


Seriously SLS, europeans are NOTHING special on GG. The only good players are in sweden and they're not coming (to SVB08).

See you all at Showdown3!!!

Edit: SVB'08 is a event held during the same weekend as S3IS and has one gg-tournament (1on1).

[chun_li1]

oi oi, go easy on the hype. starting to sound fachist:kitty: And you know what happens to fachist. They rise fast and fall hard.:eng101:


and its not like players from outside of EU will join (this) year, if you make more noise. :keke:

instead you should be preparing animal sacrifices, pray that maybe Ruu or 0 will show up. Might help :keke:


PS Why is my quote travelling all around the world? Is it gonna be like Euros equivalent to the infamous Joe Higashi quote at SBO or what? :sweatdrop:

[Hellmonkey]

Hey, if it gets big enough maybe I'll travel out if something is held in the Summer. I want to visit Sweden, I've been around most of the rest of Europe!

[Digital Watches]

Hey, if it gets big enough maybe I'll travel out if something is held in the Summer. I want to visit Sweden, I've been around most of the rest of Europe!
Lulz, that's weird, I was thinking the same thing. (Right down to the "I've been to most of the rest of Europe, why not Sweden?") :v:

[chun_li1]

Hey, if it gets big enough maybe I'll travel out if something is held in the Summer. I want to visit Sweden, I've been around most of the rest of Europe!

It IS big enough already for EU standards lol not gonna get bigger unless you decide to come :kitty:

[Shinjin]

Hehe chunli1 true :keke: Just doing it all for laughs :kitty:

I know it will be a blast and the competition will be hard, but I hope and think that my teams has that which takes to win! But now, with you german-ppl, joe and coung and the champ/kekken its gonna be tough. Looking forward to see all you guys again! And to all of you I haven't met yet, I'm looking forward too it!!

TOO FAMOUS BAYBEE! :yaaay:

Edit: Joe Higashi-quote at sbo???


Older arcadia (or Damashii) report on the French/EU, USA, Australia w/ pics of local players and arcades. I think that was the issue.

I goes something like bla bla bla Joe Higashi, the infamous player blabla who said that Japan was too strong (he attended 2 x GG at SBO).

[Hellmonkey]

More like he was too weak :[

[Sex Cowboy]

Sweden rules

It's true! I was in Stockholm for a month and a half on work and I loved it! Beautiful women, wonderfully nice people, fantastic public transportation system, umm, what else, good shopping. Seriously, Sweden is the best! :yaaay:

[Shinjin]

Official Media-website is (kinda) up!

http://showdown.guiltygear.se/

All the media from the event is planned to be avaiable here. Photos, videoclips and of course all the matchvids will be downloadable!

Mr.Wall is going to bring a videocamera and document the event, look forward to englishsubtitled interviews and whatnot with europes greatest!

Too those of you that will participate, it would be great if some of you were to take pictures and upload them/send them to us after the event so that we can make this a really good place for all those memories :D

(website made by Shinjin & Steph, aka hype-crew)

[Champion]

Wow, this will be so epic. Video documentation, interviews, and so on. No human being should miss this event. :drool:

[Hellmonkey]

Damn, nice. WKTK

[Shinjin]

5 days :kitty:

I really hope Mayhem actually gets my stick done before this event. I ordered it like 6 months ago :psyduck: If not, expect crappy X on tk yzn :(

So, since there will be alot of casuals going on during this event, do any of you guys here at dustloop want to see some showgames? Since the fierce competition and only playoffs being capped we might not see vids with everyone. So please, tell! I'll do my best to cap some matches for you guys and upload them! This is like, the only event that will have these kind of possibilities, so if you want to se some Euro-action, you better tell us now!

(back to studying for physics-exam)

[Hellmonkey]

cap everything you can

as long as it includes baiken

[xenophobian]

capture xzy vs. loki and xzy vs. atg for me !

[Nehle]

Xzi :eng101:

We're also going to hold some unofficial "best-character" grudge matches. Don't know exactly who is grudging whom yet, but so far we KNOW we're going to have Best Dizzy, Best Johnny and Best Baiken. But of course there are possibilites for more with so many contestants.

Since these are not official tournaments there are no guarantees we will capture them, so voice your requests if you have any

[Shinjin]

Okej, två från Polen confirmade, shit alltså vad hype detta är

Pawel says (11:48):

1 word. B-L-I-S-S

Looking forward to next Showdown. Keep the quality and all is well. If it aint bad, dont improve it!
Well ... if you do wanna make it even bigger, go get some japanese or americans! :kitty:



PS. Omg, sweden is in same league like rest of EU. Sux as bad as rest of europe. :keke: j/k

Looking forward to next event w/ hopefully all the same heads that attended Showdown. We all need more chara VS exp. ...


PS2 Noooooooooooo, very sad that background noise was not captured. :gonk: Noise was of epic proportion.

PS3. I normally dont write a post after attending a event. So this post speaks for itself. ;)

[Hellmonkey]

oh shit upset!

in for videos

how many entered?

[AtTheGates]

This was the best european event in the history of guilty gear so far, excellent players, excellent casuals, and lots of fun.

crazy tournament with many upsets.
1v1 tourney: kekken defeating caer, xzi defeating cuongster, lazze winning, which probably surprised many people, except me & acd, who knew how good he is.

i got wiped out by oro (potemkin) in singles, destroyed by my own impatience (and pot vs. chipp in general, heh).
Team battle went ok - we lost to lazze's team, last match was me vs. him, i don't remember much, but it was probably not too spectacular.

the europe vs. sweden big team tournament was also epic - that was actually the opener to the whole tournament, and the crowd went totally nuts. french started singing every other match. i got sent in really late and wiped out xzi (ja), then got defeated by shinjin (ba), who in turn got defeated by Millia(guess what char he plays), for the win. Caer lost to mitsurugi after a lenghty winning streak. Cuongster, Lazze & others did not have to play.


vids should be a lot of fun to watch - too bad the crowd noise will be missing.

[chun_li1]

Cuongster, Lazze & others did not have to play.

vids should be a lot of fun to watch - too bad the crowd noise will be missing.

Lazze did play. Pink (I approve :yaaay: ) Anji. One of his junk characters I think (probably didnt want to show his real characters :keke:). Forgot who kicked him off.

[Nehle]

Actually, most of the background noise was captured :eng101:

Aaanyways

Thanks to everybody who attended to make this MOST AWESOME EURO GG EVENT EVAR!

First of, the average skill level was much, much better compared to other tourneys I've been to. I think a lot of players got quite surprised at how good everyone was. I won my pool in the singles tourney and in the team tourney I got ocv'd by the same people. Crazy :psyduck:

For one with so few matchup experiences as me this was really valuable. Playing all different chars with all different styles really forcing you to think and rethink what you do and why you do it - cruise control killed you fast.

Lazze was awesome.

The french were equally awesome, bursting into the french national anthem time and time again during epic matches. Everybody really bought into the hype - it was amazing to see (and hear). And the story of their epic lunch will be retold many times.

The french and germans FRC'd a zebra crossing to have one final group picture with us taken by a top tier random passerby.

My only complaint was that I didn't get to play everyone I wanted to play against in casuals. On the other hand that was basically everybody who attended

[Starfire]

3. Whatever, pretty random, Lazze / Lari / Starfire (FIN)
4. Bullshit warehouse, Mio / Tsiisus / cube-m (FIN)


A small mistake here. I played in Team Bullshit Warehouse, and Mio played in "Whatever, pretty random, shrug". So the correct top 4 is:

1. La Cruelle, Coungster / Joe Higashi / Oro (FRA)
2. Im Caer, Bitch, Who the fuck are you?, Caer / Xzi / Shinjin (SWE)
3. Whatever, pretty random, shrug, Lazze / Lari / Mio (FIN)
4. Bullshit warehouse, Starfire / Tsiisus / cube-m (FIN)

[Mitsurugi]

Too FAMOUS !
Jag vill ligga med dig !
Nothing more to add, this sums it all.

Well maybe yes there is.
That was the best event I had the pleasure to go, really cool people, nice and welcoming, high level competition, the place was nice with a fridge, micro-wave and stuff allowing us to eat some weird stuff in front of the amazed eyes of our Northerner bros.
And definitely a lot of HYPE.

I second your last comment Nehle, it is a shame I didn't get to play against everyone in casual play too, including Lazze, Xzi, you and many others.

Too bad we had to backdash cancel early Sunday and end this lovely trip to Sweden in order to go back to our everyday life (boo, working is unhealthy).

French kisses to all !

[Nooj]

Today was such an unfamous day, remembering of how much that event was crazy and crying all the way...

I'm gonna miss you so much. Hope to meet you soon again ;)

ps: The to famous "road to sweden" will be avaible soon. Be ready.

[Shinjin]

This was a truly awesome event, I just loved everyone and everything that happened!

Shotouts to the french (too many so I'll just take the french today):

Nooj >> You're such a great guy, really fun, solid venom, lots of love! I will never forget how you said "Thank you, you are toptier" to random people on the street that were so kind to take our grouppicutre. Thank you for teaching me some french too :keke:

Neithan >> My love! I will be waiting for you in my cottage! Bring romantic candles and lets run away from our girlfriends together :kitty:

Cuongster >> Great guy, awesome player. Too bad I had to organize so much so we couldn't play more than 10 matches. Thank you for saying im the BESTBAIKENINEUROPE, I still think Mio is about as good as I am, we only have completly different playstyles. and:

Baykou >> You're so funny!!! Loved watching you play and talking to you. You have a solid-game with baiken overall, just learn those Big-Combos okay ;) ThankYou for saying im the BESTBAIKENINEUROPE too ;)

Joe Higashi >> Great guy! We both laughed so hard and got so into our matches when we played. Nice speaking som japanese with you too, both your chipp and your japanese is rock-solid with good sense! Hope you write a awesome article about the event for Tougeki-damashii :keke:

Oro >> Too handsome! Your reversal -> 90% combo shit killed my spirit, touché my friend! Tou fucking ché! :keke:

Millia >> Trop fameux! Really funny guy! Looking forward to the video!! 03:45 Bigteam sleepyShinjin wasn't enough to beat you and your spirit-squad of french people! I got you in the singles-tournament and in casuals though :keke: Get better with those combos and it will be good games all around! As a person though, you are toptier!

Mitsurugi >> You're awesome! Solid and good Johnny but i'm afraid I was trop fameux! for you in GG! Loved watching you during bigteam, I started rooting for you :kitty: Coolest guy! And funny too! Mixing soup and dessert? wtf? :kitty: Snus is fruity and tastes like orange? wtf? :kitty: :) :) :) :)

Ryukim >> I can only say one thing: Le pif de dragon!

---

Just have to say Mio, you are great! We played really tight in casuals and you have a more solid high/low/throw-mindgame than I have. Hope I'll hear from you soon!

Full results too be posted soon! Just had to post this first :kitty:

None of these matches have audience-sounds! Wait for downloadable version of top8 of singles and top4 of teams! Also note, only a few of the top16 / team-matches were recorded, this was just because of me starting the recording at random and people ended up playing on that TV (with ALOTof peoplevwatching, especially Xzi vs Cuong)

[NukleuZ]

woho :D
Let me know on msn when they are downloadable;)

Btw.
Damn wimp..
Didn't want the battle of the beer?

[Nattak]

Unforgetable!

[Xaphiel]

Vids from top16-singles and top8-teams will be posted in this post!
Kekken (za) vs Mitsurugi (jo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqf_mekgzbY

Great job Mitsurugi :D I really liked the way you worked this match. You had a good game going, even though it looked like your nerves were getting to you a little when Kekken had you under some good Zappa pressure. Really, I think that the dog bite in the corner is what did you in. I really liked the whole "tech trap-airthrow-mist" setup, major props for getting it in as much as you did. Also, I just really liked the way you moved during the match, like when you dashed, your spacing, use of double-hops. All good. Again, I think you did a great job, I wish my Johnny was as good ^^

[Shinjin]

4 vids today is enough. Stay tuned for more! And please feel free to commentate :kitty:

[Hellmonkey]

Holy shit, I am very impressed! Awaiting more videos :3

Damn, I thought Nehle had that first game and the whole set for sure, looks like tourney nerves got to him :psyduck:

Xzi vs Coungster was too exciting.

Did anything besides tourney get recorded?

[NukleuZ]

Me and Shinjin kissing "Millia" from France on the cheek was filmed I think lol!

[Nehle]

Damn, I thought Nehle had that first game and the whole set for sure, looks like tourney nerves got to him :psyduck:

Yea, failing to get that knockdown (I did 6P > 2H > 236H, should have done 5H > 236H) screwed me up in that round. I just got desperate trying to land a final hit and shit like that doesn't fly against players like Champion.

The match after that I got pretty confident though, but in the end nerves failed me again with a retard panic burst and Champion realizing just how effective WT is against me, even though I tried to backstep it at every opportunity (which is just as bad. I got fucked up by another player who would feint dash in WT and then toss out VV or TR instead).

But, eh, you're only as good as your nerves allow you to be, and Champion is a great player


Xzi vs Coungster was too exciting.
Yea, I guess he wanted payback for that IK. "This is rare footage of Xzi actually angry". Though you can't really tell if he is, he always looks calm and/or concentrated


Did anything besides tourney get recorded?
Just a few casuals with cuongster

[Camo]

I had to be there.:(

Congrat for all players and thanks for the first Vids.

[chun_li1]

@ Slovenia crew

dammit, write something so I know youre still alive :keke:

Champ, that bad cold, sore throat better not have killed you. you have unfinished business in GG :)

Get well, better soon

[Champion]

Heh, it's about time we write something, yeah. ;)

I'd like to thank to everyone who played against me. I had some awesome matches with you, Caer, Lazze, Cuongster, Koji, Oro, Ryukim, Mitsurugi, and so on. I'm upset I didn't get to play more people, but oh well. We had to leave pretty early the next day after the turnament.
And my biggest problem was my health, by having almost NO voice at all, some ear pain and so on.. dammit. >_> I felt so out of energy. But the next day after the turnament I felt better and played better too.

In the turnament I made some unnecessary input errors and such. Hype was strong, I was pretty nervous too and forgot to do some new things that I was thinking about before. At the and I lost to Lazze. He played very well, safe. I didn't adjust well my playstyle to play against him. And I hate mirror matches too. ;p Great performance by him (and by Nehle and Steph, I barely beat you guys)

All in all it was AWESOME and I'm waiting for the next big european event. Hope to see you guys soon (and that I come in a healthy state). ;)

[Hellmonkey]

Noooo you had that :(

You were playing so well those first two rounds! Damn testament! Sucks that you guys played each other so early though, I would have expected you to be seeded from each other. Also, I think youzansen FRC should be banned from all tournaments from now on :o Nice to see slashback being used to clear webs, I haven't played with it much myself.

[Nehle]

Nope, it's very custom. "Guilty Gear Accent Core Miles Davis Edition" to be exact.
But, no, asking for and distributing ISOs is not kosher here, but I'm sure Shinjin can give you a tracklist. I don't have it, all I know is that the songs are awesome

[LM_Akira]

Great stuff. Nice to know lots of UK/European GG was going down that weekend :)

[xenophobian]

>_< france needs a good jam...i don´t wanna deny xzis skill but coungster would have won that match if he only had some more vs. jam exp.

[Shinjin]

>_< france needs a good jam...i don´t wanna deny xzis skill but coungster would have won that match if he only had some more vs. jam exp.

as if sweden has a good eddie lolz

neither europe or us is that good yet, just take the vids for what they are. Guys having fun. This event was the first time I like played vs alot of matchups. Why do you always flame Xzi, and not anyone else?

/ Love, Shinjin


Edit:

Okay, to keep you guys wanting more here are some teasers of the 'hype to come'. If we had a better microphone we could've captured the crowds awesomeness even more, but after som haxxing by me you can here it better! Anyways:

Don't flame Xzi :( I love watching him play and had the cutest smile every time he did a fake cross up on me... Damn that shit:P

Sad thing there were only one match shinjin... I loved that match between you and Caer as well! It's something special watching someone that play each other alot battle it out ^^

[1muvwndr]

I dunno if it's me but people generally tend to hate Jam players. I guess it's because her tendency to kill people from a single 2D or FB puffball? :keke:
Anywayz Xzi is a beast. The footage doesn't give the rape feeling that was present on the event. Only those present can understand what meant this kind of victory. Hearing Coung later crying "I hate Jam! I hate Jam!" is priceless. I guess he really does not understand this matchup. Yet.:vbang:

[xenophobian]

neither europe or us is that good yet, just take the vids for what they are. Guys having fun. This event was the first time I like played vs alot of matchups. Why do you always flame Xzi, and not anyone else?

/ Love, Shinjin



i don´t flame xzi, i give him all my respect ! he sure is a awesome player but this match was the worst performance i ever saw of cuongster...at this stage of the european scene it is 60% matchup exp. and 40% skill that determines the outcome of a battle ! i think you can clearly see that in the europe vs. sweden battle when ATG ends XZIs streak...comeon we´re talking about jam vs. chipp o_O ! ATG won becuz he knew the matchup VERY VERY good from our training sessions, and i guess XZI didn´t know chipp that well...that´s why i want that team event online so i can see for myself...
i think it goes without saying that ALL the scenes outside of japan suck (even though i think europe clearly beats USA on all levels ^^), and i can only judge other jam players, that´s why the only name you see me write is xzi >_< ...i hope you understand...

MUCH love to all the european guilty gear players !

[Harem]

(even though i think europe clearly beats USA on all levels ^^),

dem thar are fightin words where I come from :8/:

good shit though =p

[AtTheGates]

relax everyone ;)

i think xeno's point is pretty much that is is obvious that still a lot can happen on our tourneys, and experience plays a greater role than on the highest level (obviously) :)

by the way: xzi = best jam in europe, so no one is disrespecting him.

[Shinjin]

Okidoki :keke:

Anyways, Singles are now coming along smothly, release will be out soon. Youtube-version will take a few days. People are though dropping more shit in those matches, the pressure was too extreme maybe? Anyways, hope you look forward to it!

/Love, Shinjin

[AtTheGates]

i'm looking forward to seeing myself destroyed by oro's pot 4-0 without any chance, heh..

[Shinjin]

Singles top8 to be released tomorrow! Stay tuned for some of the TRUTH!

(ATG, you're match vs Oro will be uploaded later. I just have to get the codec again, but after that I will upload the remaining ones on youtube!)

[AtTheGates]

that was irony =)

[JOFan]

singles mitsu(JO) vs kekken(ZA) cuts off half way

[Bellevar]

View the match from Shinjin's profile on youtube. It should work fine that way. I think it's because of the =18 thing on the end of the links that Shinjin add later...

AKA, its kinda like showdown 1, but with less tv's and only one day! Stockholm-representatives are going to stay for the whole weekend.

Tournaments:

Southern Cross #3 RanBat (poolplay + single elim)

current standing:
1. Yonasu, Nekomon 4p
3. Shinjin 3p
4. Caer 1p

Team-battle, 5on5:

THE CAR vs LUND

Expect some vids!!!

Edit: Oh, and someone with the power, please change the name of this topic to:

[SWEDEN] GG.se! RanBats, Community & Vids! The "Too Famous"-community!

(please)

[Hellmonkey]

Title changed, looking forward to videos

[Climhazzardous]

Too Famous :0 Looking forward to it.

[Caer-caveral]

Better late than never, I hear some famous guy said once. I thought I'd finally get around to upping the vids from Southern Cross 3.

Q1: Shinjin vs SDF
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQvJDaBP7-8
Q2: Caer vs Nekomon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08XWcWgFaXE
Q3: Yonasu vs Rensengeki

Q4: Nehle vs Xzi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZfGRofaI5s
S1: Caer vs Shinjin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYhpwSOhE9A
S2: Xzi vs Yonasu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc285iRW0Fc
Bronze: Shinjin vs Yonasu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTFxXd7Vra0
Final: Caer vs Xzi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMUfWgfInYE


We also had SC#4 last week, held in Gothenburg. Attendance was lower, but fun times were had by everyone present. No capping as the equipment was being a bastard. Results for that ranbat were:

1) Caer
2) Nekomon
3) Shinjin
4) Svampen

Svampen is working up an awesome Bridget now. It's incredibly fun to watch.

Final results for the entire season is as follows:

1:a Caer 7p
2: Nekomon 6p
3:a Shinjin 5p
4:a Yonasu 4p
5:a Xzi 2p

With only 4 ranbats held this season, having varied levels of attendance and some upsets for characters selections, results may be a bit skewed. But it's been a blast having these large scale ranbats. How we'll ever get things done next year when official organizer Shinjin leaves us is still a mystery, but we'll try our best :v:

[Kurum]

Stop beasting so hard. I'm guessing Nekomon never plays vs TE?

[Caer-caveral]

Only when I'm stopping by in Gothenburg (and he's not busy (which he always is)).

SC#3 also marked a big moment for me, as it's the first time I've met Xzi in a final and not lost in a horribly humiliating way :v:

[Hellmonkey]

LOL

"Baikens are MADE FOR THROWING"
"oh yes, only in america! but sometimes here as well.."
"TENSION LIQUIFIEERRRR"
"OH!! RANDOM!! Spirit Juice would be proud!"
"dizzy dustloop!"

"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT"

"FOREST BLAZING!"

"They're in hell... I know someone who wouldn't approve of that!"
"nya!...sad neko...DEEEEAD(lol)"

omg shinjin less counters more IB to 1f jump against testament >_<

[Hellmonkey]

Where is shinjin going next year?

Great job on the videos, entertaining as hell.

[Caer-caveral]

Shinjin will be studying in Japan for a year, starting this autumn.

[Shinjin]

I will study in Kyoto (Ritsumeikan University) as an exchange-student from Lund University for one year.

Haven't watched the vids, but remembers me performing pretty poorly. Hopefully mountain-training over the summer will solve this.

Glad you like the commentary, we had fun :)

Edit:

Oh, and btw. Me, Caer & Yonasu will be in tokyo during SBO, if you wanna play a 3v3 vs us, tell us and we will crap the beat out of you.

[rtl42]

lol commentary was VERY colourful, good job to whoever was doing it, and good stuff guys keep it up. do want more :clap:

[VergilValentine]

I think we have a winner of Sweden Spirit Juice contest. Amazing commentary and good matches!

[Teyah]

Haven't watched the vids, but remembers me performing pretty poorly. Hopefully mountain-training over the summer will solve this.

Trust me, mountain-training isn't as good as it sounds on paper

:canada:

[Zakuta Asura]

Whats with everyone ans studying in Japan, sheesh :p

[Climhazzardous]

Studying Guilty Gear, the Uni is just a cover up!

[Zakuta Asura]

Studying Guilty Gear, the Uni is just a cover up!

And you know that's the absolute truth.

Manz are gonna come back with the same knowledge they left with (school education wise :p).

[Shinjin]

Go ahead and think that if you want to, but im really serious when it comes to studying, and my plans with education/for the future, but yeah, it kinda kills the buzz away from me when all random no-future-plans-no-reason-people go there and create this image. But my plans for the future is not something to be discussed here, so please keep the diskussions about the vids and the community.

I looked at the vids now, I really started spamming counters halfway from the second half of the first match, sucks....

And the MC's are: Caer, Me & Nehle in the match between Caer and me. Caer mc's my matches and our voices are pretty different so you can tell us appart.

Have a good day.

Edit: Oh and btw. As you probably heard in one of the vids, Yonasu is using stick now. No more pad-warrior bullshit!!! :keke:

[Hellmonkey]

Yeah, it's about time haha.

[Alzarath]

Lol @ talespin theme

I feel betrayed, how does the next showdow can be famous without you ?:gonk:

[Shinjin]

This weekend a ranbat was held in stockholm on the first (and only) Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Cabinett-Arcade (!!) as it just got installed. The results:

1. Shin FUCKING jin (BA)
2. Mr. Yonasu (SL)
3. Xzi aka Beast of Sweden (JA) (lost to shinjin)
4. Rensengeki peki eki (AX) (lost to yonasu)

No vids taken, since it was on the arcade. But im gonna release some previously non-released vids from SC3 next week. Mostly Rensengeki, but he shows off some good stuff. Look forward to it ;)

[Hellmonkey]

Damn, too bad those didn't get recorded. Would like to see you beat Xzi :V

[Shinjin]

I heard rumors of new vids

I don't mind the smaller post. ES's blog is tight, but sometimes too long IMO.

Good read. LOL @ Dogura is a toker... and I think maybe by free canabis he was asking if iit was legal?

[Hellmonkey]

sounds like fun

[Nehle]

Time for an update. Although we started this season about two months ago, nobody has been around to fixing the videos from the first southerncross round (the second round we didn't have a cap card). Until today.

Tow months too late, but better late than never

If you guys check out Vol.9 of Tougekidamashi you will find an article about Showdown 3. :keke: *proud of my hype and pr-skills*

Trully ? With photos of people yelling "YOU WA SHOCK !!" ??:psyduck:

Nice vids guys, still a very good level in your country. By the way, when is the next showdown, the french players are all waiting for it !:keke:

[Nekomon]

God, that Glenn guy is terrible! :vbang:

[Cadenza]

You got your pin?

[Rensengeki]

Trully ? With photos of people yelling "YOU WA SHOCK !!" ??:psyduck:

Nice vids guys, still a very good level in your country. By the way, when is the next showdown, the french players are all waiting for it !:keke:

the next showdown will be when eighter myself or someone else willing to help pulls their hand out of their ass and does something about it

the previous showdown was so big so for the next one, me and cheeseabuser thought of getting a much better location and venue. so until we actually do something nothing will happen, but fear not we are still thinking about it.

the last was in march so if we could make showdown atleast a yearly event it would be awesome.

ill do my best not to disapoint. and you wont miss it when we announce it

[Neithan]

Rensengeki : truly I think you should not try to find a location in Stockholm. I know many of you laughts when we said stenhamra was great, but as the place was big with a lot of place, a market nearby and... a freezer (gorgeous !), we felt that we didn't need anything else than that and the sixteen televisions.

Seriously, even if it's funny for you, for us these conditions to play were far better than being in a small place but in a big city. Comfort is more important in my opinion than hype of a big city : we came to play, see your level, compete it and we were truly very satisfied, and that is, in my opinion, the more important. ;)

[reaVer]

As long as we can get there and don't die to overheating like robo-ky does and can actually play I'd say its fine:P

[Camo]

Nice vids guys. :cool:

[Hellmonkey]

haha fucking awesome commentary caer

good videos guys.

[Climhazzardous]

Awesome match vids and commentary as usual guys!

Am actually looking on Showdown so keep us posted Sveden!

An GuiltyGear-event featuring 3on3, singles, and SBO-QUALS!

This year, we have Swedish-, Finish-, Norwegian-, French-, Russian-, Dutch-, Polish- & British-players, heck even as prolly some of you americans here on dustloop already know, FlashSomething, Marn & Stevie (?)from the States are coming to Showdown to participate.

Pretty much everything is going to be capped, so keep a look out here & on our youtube-account:

I wont be there, but it's going to be filled with awesomeness anyways.

Ofcourse, vids will have english commentary & screams in.. well.. basically random languages! This event is made of win! :toot:

This site will be worth paying close attention to! Trust me ;)

We're btw looking for people that could write about GuiltyGear-related hype, matches and awesomeness in the USA. If anyone is up for that challenge, please send a PM or something.

We aim to create a purely for GG, GG-vids, GG-strategies, and hype of the awesome game in these sad times of BlazBlue.

Please support us by just visiting the site!

Me personally will try to get some interviews going with some of the top japanese-players here in Kansai and post them on the site. That and write-ups on tournaments and ranbats that I go to.

Well, alot of stuff will go down on this site, and if you have a solid knowledge about the community and/or the game, and feel that you want to help the GuiltyGear-community grow and have a love for the game and the community, please do help us out ;)

We will also try to feature not only japanese-videos, but also European/American-videos from tournaments.

I could rant on about dreams and ideas, but this is a site for GuiltyGear, and thats about it. Hope you'll be checking in out.

Peace

Blazblue is it's own time man . :( It doesn't really put a finger on GG.

Nevertheless we'll be looking at that site regularly to keep up to date with some of the finest competition in EU.

[Shinjin]

If people have any questions they would like me to ask japanese-players in general, or any specific japanese-player (in kansai) when I interview them, hit me up via PM or just post them here ^^ Might be your only chance!

We know you all love that Caer-commentary so here you go:

"The second, and last, episode of the Southern Cross of the 2009 Spring-season ranbat was a awesomely fun ranbat, or so I am told. puKKa has now (finally) fixed the vids with synched commentary-audio and awesome picture-quality for all of you to enjoy a great showtime!

Of course, alot of awesome Caer-commentary, alot of bullshit, and if you end up watching them you will most definitly end up having a better day. We promise you. Though Glenn & Nehle will be sad though. So don’t watch their vids. No, you have to watch Nehle vs Yonasu. Heck, watch ‘em all.

Stay tuned, for in November we will have another tournament were everybody that is somebody in Sweden will attend! And the format will be hype, there will be proper commentary and people will scream like little schoolgirls running away from that molester-guy.:psyduck:

[Shinjin]

I made a movie to show my appreciation towards the Swedish Guilty Gear-community and to hype up to, pre-tourney-style. We always have great times enjoying the most awesome of games with the greatest of people! Guys, Heaven & Hell, Let's Rock Forever!

PS: And no, this is not a "look at how cool we are"-video. It's just for funsies and filled with in-jokes.
