I got a game with BBEDev05 around 11 PM EST. I thanked him for all of his and Backbone's work updating the game.

I showed him that he can't handle Fei Long. I also remember a close game where he picked Vega against my Dhalsim, but I showed him the meaning of noogies, although I dropped the first round because I couldn't defend against the jump in.

I had about a 10 game win streak before my first disconnect. I then found a game with HIERO 9D3, who was responsible for the SF HD trailers (with the You're The Best music). Right now, I'm watching Hiero do well in a Guile mirror match. Oop, he tried a loop one too many times and ate a flash kick.

HIERO is an awesome guy, and we even talked about other genres of games, like pro wrestling (make one!!). He wasn't a bad player at all.

Now it's another mirror match. Lots of footsie. Okay, everyone is playing Guile. SON-SONIC-BOOM-BOOM. Good lord. 

s-kill had a room open, but it filled right before I could join. Damn. Oop! I got in.

I am playing Seth Killian. He is Zangief, I am Fei Long.

Bad sign: He opens with running grab and hits it. The rest of the match is him using his ranges perfectly, and me eating SPD's. I get a few reversal flame kicks, but that's the dog and pony show.

Playing CAPCOM Derek's game now. Fei Long again, versus Cammy. I do very well in the first round, and then he comes back to win round 1... and perfect in round 2. His timing is insane.

Jesus. His Hooligan setups are nuts. My Vega got a round on him, but that was it. Apparently, Derek hasn't lost yet. Now I HAVE to beat him.

AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH. One pixel away. I HAVE YOU. You know it. Next time, I will see your patterns.

Okay, or not.

Well, I can't beat him. He's too good.

(Aside to Derek - I guess you better not forget to tell Ed Boon all that stuff. Man, that guy was AMAZING.)

And in the final match, I defeat Capcom Derek with Vega! Making me the only person to defeat Capcom Derek tonight.

And it's 9:30 Pacific, so it's time to call it a night. Derek thanks everyone and leaves.

I just read a preview on Nintendo Wii Fanboy of the Concrete Shot in Mega Man 9. Made me think: What if there were blogs when older Mega Man games were coming out?

"Guys, just got back from the Mega Man 3 preview event. Lots of interesting stuff:

Many robot master weapons now interact with the environment! Snake Man and Gemini Man have weapons that travel along or bounce off walls.

There's some kind of rumor that we haven't heard the last of the bosses of Mega Man 2. Hmm...

Enemies have new ways to kill you. I fought in one stage where flying magnet enemies would pick me up off the ground and pull me towards them."

But of course, you'd have comments such as:

"OMG Search Snake is gay"

"!!! I can't wait. Rush the dog looks fun."

"Sliding will make the game too easy. Imagine if you could slide while fighting Air Man!"

"dude the ninja robot master is badass"

"I hope they take E Tanks out of 3; they made mega man 2 way too easy."

"is the pause trick in this one"

"OMG NO FIRE-TYPE ROBOT MASTER

NO WATER-TYPE ROBOT MASTER

STUPID GAME IS STUPID"
