NEXT!

So I wake up early yesterday and check the 2ch cvs2 board and see that there's another tourney coming up - a 3on3 at Mikado this Saturday. Signups at 4, starts at 5. PROBLEM: I have a reservation at the hospital (took a blood test for my kidney condition and have to get the results) at 4. It's in Shinjuku, so provided the results are good and I don't need any NEW tests done, I should be fine, as long as I have someone to sign me up. I email Bas, but he says he doesn't know if he's going to enter, and even if he does, he'd have leave at around 5:40. Tournament rules would have our team going with 2 members the rest of the way (likely the whole tournament, considering late starts), so I msg Yoshio to see if he can put me on the list of ppl with no team.

I was working on basically the same train line as Mikado, and on the way home I fell asleep on the train and got woken up at Seibu Shinjuku, so I walked across the street to the arcade. It was 50 yen for 2 credits, so I hopped on with A-King, Gief, Bison and got some wins. Lost eventually and switched to my bidness team. During my streak, Gao showed up so I lost and switched to his machine. For some reason, I couldn't finish my CCs with supers the entire night, and on a couple of occasions, that would have won it for me. I got really good practice against his Nakoruru though. I'm not as scared of her as I used to be.

Mizoteru showed up and I got him to team with me this Saturday. He gave me some pointers against some of the random competition - basically be more patient building meter, and what K-Groovers tend to look for when facing A. Since Bas isn't going to enter, I think Mizoteru can basically take out anyone in the tournament. After Bas, the major threats are Iyo, Pinokio, AO and Kisshi. Everyone else I have confidence against. Hopefully, one of them can be our third member.

Took the day off today. I'll probably play a little later, and bring my camera with me.
