Returning

hi there to all those who have been returning to this blog even in all my inactivity. i’ve had some requests from some to restart this blog and today i have finally decided to do so. how active i will remain, i don’t know, but i will try to keep this updated sometimes and give those who come something to read here and there!

to start with i’d like to explain that i took a 2 month break from 3s quite recently when my pc fucked up and i only returned around a month or so ago. in that time i’ve fought to get my form back on ggpo and a bit offline with circle masher and am finally getting back a little bit of sharpness in my play.

it’s been an interesting time for me recently with trips now in the planning stages for stunfest in may and svb again in august. i’ve also got a super turbo tournament coming up on march the 20th in a city quite near to bristol so there should be quite a bit of stuff over the coming 6 months to talk about in more detail. funnily enough i woke up about a week ago and it clicked in my mind that if i could afford the trip then i’d head off to evo 2k10 in vegas for 3s and make a big holiday out of it. so i got and quickly checked how much cash i had in the bank and how much flights to vegas would cost and sure enough i was good to go. then just before taking the plunge and buying the tickets i thought i should just check to confirm that 3s was going to be played at evo this year and sure enough it got replaced! by some game called melty blood actress something or other which i’ve never even heard of at that! i was really disappointed, unsurprisingly, so i thought maybe i could make up for not going to evo by going to the cannes tournament in march. to be honest i think if i could have got the time off work i may have been able to go, but trying to book time off work with little time in advance is near impossible for me so sadly i’ve had to miss out on this one too.

oh i almost forgot to mention there’s a chance i will be heading to leeds some time about 7 or 8 weeks from now for some offline sessions with adzuki in his apartment and some of the good birmingham based players. more news on that as i get it. i can also confirm that i’ll be hitting the arcades in london next thursday so with any luck i’ll have some stories to tell after that.

for now i’m off to record a new song with my band but in my next post i’ll be talking about a recent tournament for uk players on ggpo which i entered and i’ll talk about other tournament formats which i’ve experimented with and how they went. peace.
