Either way, I'll be going down in the first match...
Awesome, though. If BFM is still a prize (if there are prizes) I'll train as long as I can to try for it.
Though, due to keyboard suckage, I'd probably end up buttonmashing anyway.

@de Bloo: You need less sodium in yo' burritos.
@Capsulex: We'll work out some kind of prizes for the next tourney, but I can't say what they'll be. The games I have available for this sort of thing shuffle around regularly.

@Zoel: I never really got that. I always just need some warmups and that's it to get into either "SNK" or "Capcom" mode.
Wow, Wry, you must be so talented and gifted to be able to just turn it on like that. Tell us your secrets, mighty one.
But for serious, I was rooting for Zoel the whole time. Someone has to topple this monster.

I've never really understood how there's an "SNK" mode and a "Capcom" mode...
Then again, I'm not totally tops at fighters, either.

I'd totally fight you for the bonus (or even just for fun) but you'd have to promise not to record what ends up being furious keyboard smashing as the character onscreen refuses to do what I want him to do.
Anyway, if you do Samurai Shodown, what game do you have in mind? I used to kinda be able to play a Bust Hanzo, and usually buttonmashed my way through V Special with Mina. Or that huge priest guy with the rosary...
I lost my keyboard fighting touch, though, I should brush up on QCF's. If it's KoF 2002, I need to be able to correctly use Kyo and anyone else that looks like a good character at first glance.
If Kyo was in 2002.

@Roager: There indeed are certain things that seperate the two series of games. Capcom games approach things like zoning and jumping differently thanks to the fact that there are more buttons, the games tend to be slower, and anti-air moves on average are much stronger. It's things like that that mean you have to know and understand that you can't use the exact same tactics in King of Fighters and expect it to work like in Street Fighter. Low hopping alone changes the entire game. Trust me, if you could low hop in Street Fighter so much shit would be thrown out the window.
It just means that different tactics are more viable in different games.
@Caspulex: Kyo is indeed in 2002, though it's one of his weaker years. He's quite usable but it's nothing compared to when he was the single main character of the series. Samurai Showdown and Last Blade are not my specialties at all, so I'd probably have to consult someone on which ones are the most tournament worthy. My own experience says that V Special is our most likely candidate, though. Samurai Showdown II would be a kind of nostalgia factor, and if I recall the game does have a few balance issues (not that any fighting game doesn't.)
I recommend you invest in a wired fight pad, though: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Street-Fighter-IV-FightPad/dp/B001M244HA
That'll work on a PC as far as I know.

V Special wasn't my thing. I mean, the finishers were fun (the earth will rue the day that I find out how to make torsos explode with unmodified arrows) but it seemed too simple, and only 4 or so characters had Bust versions.
I just remember Bust Hanzo doing all those grab moves. Like Zangief, I do much better with grapplers, for whatever reason.

Pssh. Keyboard fighting. USB joypad and/or fightstick.
Joypad for me. Never owned, nor really used a stick. Thought about buying one for the Gamecube. Was excellently cheap, and pretty good. But there's little to no fighting goodness on the gamecube. Hence the price, I'm sure.

Good fight, Wry and Zoel. ;O)
I'd be certainly up for a Samurai Shodown (not 'Showdown'...I think it was meant to be spelt that way as a pun on 'Shogun') tournament. I really like the game compared to the other SNK brawlers. I just hope my computer is fixed up and can run on it...
And have you noticed that a part of the music on the urban setting you two were fighting on sounds exactly like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCbO-3hjPok
