Argh, I missed it on tee-vee. I mean, I usually miss it, but last Monday I mysteriously remembered about it. And then... forgot. Any idea if it's on again? Friday or something? Anyway, good interview! Great to see. Farbs: Televised.

My best moments:
Reaching #46 in the UK music charts, reaching #1 in the Japan iTunes weekly downloads for Dance music (#6 overall I think.)
Doing the coverdisk for Amiga Format.
Doing the cover mix CD for Mixmag.
Appearing on news all over the world when the plane I was on set on fire in Sydney.
Appearing with my dad on TV with Daleks. He wrote Doctor Who and was far more of a legend than I could ever be!

I'm sorry, what? Clarify those statement, sonny. Sounds more than just 15 minutes. Also, cool. |

Well I have an alter-ego as Sonic, (or Sonic & Silver / Accidental Heroes). I'm a d'n'b producer. Amiga Format was my freeware game Jet Set Willy 3, and my dad is the late Johnny Byrne. I wasn't sure whether to post all this. Feel a bit embarrassed now.  |

I've been online with SF4 for about a month and have had a lot time in between coding. I got to class 2A last night, with 10150 grade points. I play Championship mode, my tag is AiR BUrST. [EDIT] I am just below 15000 GP (Grade 1). Neo Empire invited me to their awesome tournament in London that I've been looking forward to for a year. I don't think I'll qualify this year, got hold of SF too late... I'm joining their UK forum tonight, so we'll see how many other UK fighters there are above me.  |

Ok, so now I'm ranked 2600 on Grade and 1200 on Champ on Street Fighter 4.. I am still continuing to advance quite fast having only had the game for 3 months.
Still can't believe how good my kid brother (fullspectrum) is still better than me... I mean his reactions must be super human..
Good practise though I guess, if more than a little bit irritating.
All about RYU and KEN for me. Havn't met anyone who can beat me easy when they are also one of those 2 characters.

It's less about reactions and more about strategy (and precision of execution, of course). Know when to use your EX moves, when to Focus Attack, when to throw and when it's safe to jump in and you have enough to beat most G2 opponents (you're G2-E, right?). I'm G2-C at the moment, getting fairly close to G2-B. Only took a little over a month... but then I play Blanka so I get lots of cheap wins because some players have no idea how to fight him! :D |

Oops, sorry the '2600 on Grade' and '1200 on Champ' are my positions on the world leaderboard rather than my GP (18000).
Maybe I should have said '2600 on Grade (with 18,000 GP)' and '1200 on Champ (with 600,000 CP)'.
So I'm on 18k gp, and entry into grade 1 is 15k gp.
You can save 1 replay when going up a grade if you are in the world top 5000; well as mine is worth just under 600,000 CP, you don't have to navigate down too far to find my own replay against someone else from the UK who I normally don't beat (as I say you have to be ranked in the top 5000, win and go up a grade all at the same time in order to be presented with the option to save a replay).
Sorry if that wasn't clear, in fact it is kinda misleading, as my achievement is far from trivial.. there are only 2600 people in the world above me on Championship mode, and I am rising fast (only had version 4 for a few months due to work committments, but have been playing the series seriously for around 16 years).
Yeah strategy is really important, I guess more so than reactions ultimately, though perhaps reactions a close secondary skill. I have actually been in grade 1 for a while now, I have certainly found that people make fewer mistakes in grade 1. I am only in 1E, but I need only 2000gp to move up to grade 1D. There is always a small element of luck too in grade 1 matches I think, as some are so close.
Blanka is a beast. I have found as Ryu that I have to get in close and unleash lots of jabs and mini-shoryukens to try and lock him down, you still have to be wary of the electricity, so I get close but crouch down and block rather than jump in.
My gamertag is AiR BUrST if you are on xbox (I have heard the competition is even fiercer on PSN but hey it's good on xbox too, even if I do regularly beat some of the top players in my grade) so if you are on live give me a heads up? I want to go all the way, I am aiming to get into 1C by Christmas if at all possible (I am on 18000 now and will need maybe another 10000).

Woo, Electric Playground finally aired the segment where I talk about Puzzle Bots [ here]. It seems like they don't expect their audience to know that indie games exist. The even use the Star Wars Kid as an example of user-created content. Whatever gets the point across to their audience, I guess! Anyways, Donna told me that their potential audience is around 7 million, so hopefully this helps the indie cause a bit. |

Can't say I've really had 15 minutes  Some of my games were mentioned on Bytejacker though, so that was kinda cool. Oh, and I'm briefly mentioned in this month's PC Gamer :D If this has already been quoted then my bad, but I thought it was pretty cool Terry vamping on his small fame-like encounters, now look at the guy! Jayzus! Can't say I've had anything yet. Maybe tomorrow! |

hmm, well maybe it's more like 2 minutes of fame. My recent interview on ONRPG. Can't say I'm famous or anything but that's still the best I got so far. |
