SBO Qualifiers at Denjin Arcade 6/6!

So you think you got what it takes in sf4 or 3rd strike? Come to Denjin Arcade this Saturday (june 6th) and bring it. This tournament isn't going to be fun and games, this is going to be intense. Everyone is playing to win, no messing around. This Is SBO Quals. For those of you that don't know what SBO is, it stands for Super Battle Opera. It happens every year and is an arcade tournament in japan. The biggest tournament and the one that matters the most imo. So far some of the teams confirmed are pretty damn good. It really is a toss up, any team can take it.

Here is the info about the tournament:

Street Fighter III: Third Strike will be 3on3
Street Fighter 4 will be 2on2

Before i go i would like to say it was cool meeting new players. These tournaments were a nice gathering and I can't wait for the next season. I am pretty proud of myself also, out of 6 tournaments, I have made top 8 four times. ranbat 1.1 = 7th place, 1.3 = 5th, 1.5 = 7th and 1.6 = 5th. Wow I really didn't expect to do so well. This was all too much fun and I can't wait for season 2!! with all that aside though SBO Quals is really just around the corner and i am going to get ready for that.

Small Update!

Well SBO Qualifiers is right around the corner (a week) and really I have been waiting to play in this tournament for quite a while. So all the projects that i want to start / finish up will be done after SBO quals. I want to focus all my attention on this tournament instead of other things. Expect some stuff to come out after this event (and give me time to make/finish them since it can be time consuming). Thanks and hopefully i will get the stuff out soon. As a result of my slack i will upload any video projects i finish on this blog first and then upload the same video a week or so later on youtube.

Ex CoD xx Ultra

Early February i was inspired by Keno (socal balrog) to try something out. He found out about Balrog's Ex amor tricks. Abel's was done before but nobody really experimented with it as much. I then did it but it was hard since i had to do it in the arcades. I am going to be making a video showing all of them and here is a small sample i made with button inputs!!


Abel Videos!

Just wanted to let all you Abel fans know that I have been uploading some videos that I recorded of me playing online. I will also be uploading/making other videos that aren't casuals or w/e. http://www.youtube.com/user/xbstx Subscribe to my youtube account so you know when my newest videos come out!
