Thanks for the UK support Malice, hopefully our community will remain active and strong this time round.

 

Assuming some people come offline it will =)

 

What is Ryan Hart doing there?

I guess they are showing Tekken Tag? At least thats what they do in Germany for our Pre Release Session...

Yeah, I guess because I can't imagine Ryan playing SC on the stage ;)

 

If he's up for it, I'll money match him on stream.

Tekken money match, right?

WOW! That deserves a 50p bet. :P

 

I dont see Ryan being at a SCV launch event to play Tekken. He doesnt play that much Tekken these days to begin with.

No, Soul Calibur.

WOW! That deserves a 50p bet. :P

We really should make a minimum wager on these things, lol.

 

Thanks a lot for this Malice.

I dunno, he's still playing; he was also at the last SCV event, and there he was solely on Tekken.

Having said that, there isn't anything in the press release about Tekken being involved. So I guess maybe he'll have a go. He'd probably be pretty solid if he did pick it up

 

I think he tried to pick up SCIV at one point no?
I hope he gets into SCV, that man is a legend.

 

I'm gonna try and swap shifts with someone so I can come to this. :)

 

^ This is the shit I'm talking 'bout! ^^

 

No, Soul Calibur.

Siegfried vs someone who has never played SC? Are you kidding me?

 

Thanks a lot for this Malice.

He still plays Tekken, just not as much as he does SF4. Maybe he'll give it a go once the full game is out. If you see him at the event, bug him until he plays you in SCV if he's not playing already.

 

Hah! He watches us sometimes when we're playing SC4 at the Neo Empire events, just not for very long :D

My 2kb will be there to greet you. :P

My asian intuition says no... :P
