On Tuesday, January 19 starting at 4:00PM PST, I'll be running the first major test for Mr Jared vs The World: the online Street Fighter IV stream where you'll have to face off in a one-on-one battle with me in front of an online audience. This is a series started by my good friend Haunts over at iPlayWinner (of which I'm a media consultant). We're doing a lot of experimentation with the concept and now I'm wanting to give it a shot with a fresh batch of ideas. 

Here are all the details you need to know to participate. 

- At 4:00PM PST on Tuesday, January 19, come back to this page or my uStream page (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jaredrea) and wait for the stream to go live.

- Once the stream is live, start your own Player Match in Street Fighter IV on Xbox Live and send a Game Invite to my gamertag, "Mr Jared."

- Watch the stream and wait your turn as I'll be taking fight requests in the order of which they're received. Once I join your game (and this is important) make sure you PAUSE THE STREAM! Not pausing the stream will result in lagtastic matches and we'll all weep together.

- We'll then play a best 2 out of 3 set of matches. After the final match has concluded I will then move on to the next player.

And that's it! Also, as part of the experimentation I'll have voice chat enabled so that everyone on the stream can hear your beautiful voice, so bring a headset! Also, please remember that this is all in good fun so leave the salt in the kitchen!

Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope to see you there! 

Do I need to be good? I haven't played Street Fighter IV since November.

Are you using an arcade stick or a standard xbox controller?

Woop woop! Might log on and try to beat DAT AZZ before I go to San Jose.. :P

I might give it a shot later.  I'm going to eat right now, but I'll watch the stream while I eat.

No, you don't  have to be great.. I'm pretty rusty. The kids on the street call me Rusty Venture :) 
 
And I'm using a stick.. a Mad Catz Round 2 *plugplugplug*

btw, my name is haunts, I run iplaywinner.com and this is my second post on GB thanks to Jared. :P

I can't play since I don't own a copy but I'll watch considering the fact I'm not doing a whole lot right now. Well, I want a cup of tea though so I'll come back when it starts.

ACK! Please note, I had my own gamertag wrong. It's "MR JARED" with a space in the middle. I didn't think that counted :) 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH....
 
Ok, I'll turn my 360 on even though it's 2am in the UK and send an invite. I'm AquaticPear.
The games I usualy play with people in the states is 2 or 3 bars but don't be put off it's usualy not that bad but if you don't like it NP I understand. Also I hate fighting Chun-Li! She's one of my worst matchups as both a Rose and Guile player but whatever ;).

Flux, word up! I actually go to GB a lot just havent made an account yet. You guys can ask me anything about SF4. ^_^

I would love to play, but I don't have an XBOX. Plus the lag would be terrible as I'm from the U.K
 
Nice idea though, will watch for a bit before bed :)

I'd play you, but you seem really good so i'm not going to embarrass myself. 

" I would love to play, but I don't have an XBOX. Plus the lag would be terrible as I'm from the U.K  Nice idea though, will watch for a bit before bed :) "

" @haunts: Hey.  I don't really follow the tourney scene, but I've heard of you from Stang and LordofUltima and apparently you're extremely good.  I'd play, but I'm scared so I'll pass... "

I'm game for getting my butt kicked :D

I'll be sending an invite your way in about a minute.
 
Wait, 2 out of 3 sets? Do you mean, like, out of three matches, winning two? So like, the best of 3 two-match games?

Thanks guys. :D 
 
I'll try to post more I promise... where does all the fighting game talk go down around here? Can someone link me? Sorry.. -_-;

My performance was crap

Fun too watch, Jared you have made my night less boring 
Cheers 

Having two Chun Lis is just confusing now. O_o

Man, those were some fun matches.  As explained in the op, I doubt Jared was at his top game and he would have owned me at another time, but it was still pretty fun!

Aw man. If I still had a copy of SFIV I would totally be down for some ass-kicking by the man who brought Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire into our lives.

Wow, that was fun. I was getting a lot of my shit down pat tonight. Felt good.

Do this again it was fun .

Good games. Look foward to more (and I don't even play beat 'em ups. O_o).

Well, that was pretty awesome. Thanks a lot you guys for humoring me with this experiment. Haunts has been doing this for some time now and I figured it was about time I took a shake at it myself. We'll have to do this again sometime when I'm not having to cook dinner ;)

" My performance was crap "

Haunts on GB? Wow!
 
I would have played but I am pretty damn hung over :\ Nobody likes a free Stang.

Oh my god I missed everything today..fuck school

I beat Jared's ass. I feel boasting about it. Sue me! Get hype! Eat shit! Donkeypunch!

" I beat Jared's ass. I feel boasting about it. Sue me! Get hype! Eat shit! Donkeypunch! "

Well, too bad I missed this, would have been hype for sure. Stupid grocery shopping.

I think Flux, Napalm, and I were the only ones that won I think.    haunts won as well, but he doesn't count.   :P

You are dangerously close to turning into Flushes. "

Bah! I was playing, but I didn't know this was going on. I need to set up my laptop near my xbox or something so I can troll the forums while playing. Next time for sure.

OMG I would have been so hype for this if I wasn't at a ranbat while it was going on....probably the same for specialbuddy, who I hear has pretty rough hands
