fighting games aren't esports :smug
From those that don't get the reference from our lord and savior Mike Ross

I think what matters the most is what the players at major events want. No matter what, if you aren't sponsored, you're paying out of pocket to travel and compete. If you're sponsored, your trip may be paid for but there's a risk of time versus money. Getting a paid trip and then not coming out of pools means that time could've been spent doing anything else.
The love of the game and what you're willing to give for that love will conquer all else. Bigger prizes motivate the best of the best, while everyone else cheers.

ITS STARTING.
-
lmao this stage intro bit
-
Mike Ross was holding back laughter the entire time.
-
Where's Justin Wong coming out swagging?
-
TOTINO'S ESPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP :lawd esports EDM :whew
I like the layout with the upcoming matches onscreen and the lil 'did u know' thing at the bottom
-
Justin Wong is going to get bopped eventually. Dude has a lot less experience at the game compared to almost everyone else on stage, Japanese players are going to wipe US players out except for Nuckledu and Snake Eyes.
-
This is super low budget. No audience, bad commentary so far (disappointing from ultrachen), bad atmosphere.
Just wtf. This is SFIV's goodbye. It deserves better than this.
-
Tickets were $40 for sunday only, I would pay for that but it is what it is. Commentary is alright, it'll get bad when skisonic gets on the mic
-
First match is already :lawd
-
Momochi gonna lose. :hitler
-
:lawd
That spacing was god like.
-
Evil Ryu is a lot better at zoning than Ken, was a smart choice. Ken is great at close quarters spacing due to his normals and damage output, but Hugo is fucking dangerous up close.
-
Also, no training stage thus far 8)
Actual stages 8)
-
First game was :lawd Momochi took some risks but it all paid off.
-
that set just proved that top players aren't the best cause they always do well but because they can adapt on the fly
-
Poongko: "I didn't change my training regimen for him"
*gets nearly perfected*
:lol
-
Poongko is a beast, I respect great Zangief players but I'm definitely rooting for Poongko.
-
STREET FIGHTER. :lawd
-
Huge upset, would rather see a Sakura player win than Fei Long.
-
Huh? A Sakura did win.
-
Mago already shooting for round 3. :lol
-
I meant fuudo losing was a huge upset and I'm glad a Sakura won over his Fei Long
-
Jesus Christ, Mago. He wasn't kidding!
-
:lol Capcom won't name Valmaster's sponsor...Team YP. As in Youporn. :doge
-

-
Biggest upset thus far, Nemo was placing top 3 in recent Japanese tourneys.
-
snake eyez wyd :doge
-
SNAKE EYEZ DOWN 0-2
You were our hope for America!
WHY?!
-
Justin, take it for AMERICA.
-
USA is the Detroit Lions or Miami Dolphins of Street Fighter
:bow :japancry
:piss :usacry
-
:brazilcry
-
We dominated Marvel, and we won at KoF at EVO in 2013. Street Fighter just ain't our thing.
:yeshrug
-
Dieminion :brazilcry
Such a great Guile player.
-
Snake Eyez advanced. There's a chance!
-
Nuckledu :lawd
My favorite American player. Dude is awesome to watch and I love his confidence.
-
He should have went for a meaty instead of that jump in but gogo Nuckle!
-
Good Decapre play is always :dizzy
Wish she was in SFV instead of boring ass Cammy. Same normal moveset, but those Decapre specials are a lot more fun to watch and play around with.
-
Nuckledu's aggressive style is fire.
Go America!
Cammy doesn't have the same move set at all. She's far more mobile in V and she has those double kicks.
-
Guile and Decapre is a great character combo to use. Hopefully Nuckle brings his Guile out and pops the shades 8)
-
Nuckledu's aggressive style is fire.
Go America!
Cammy doesn't have the same move set at all. She's far more mobile in V and she has those double kicks.
That's good. I still wish Decapre made it in, she's my favorite newcomer in SFIV and my favorite character that was added in Ultra.
-
You should see Poongko play Cammy in yesterday's SFV tourney.
-
Cammy is essentially a mix of Decapre and regular Cammy now. She can do mix ups with air spiral arrow. Air spiral arrow can now go backwards and you can mix it up with hooligan. Watch Poongko play a very intensive mix up Cammy that's reminiscent of Decapre.
-
DAMN, that was a promo from 801 :gladbron
-
What he say? I missed it.
-
He should've won grand finals at SCR/some other event, and that this time around, there will bodies littering the floor.
-

AMERICA.
edit: BOPPED.
-
LETS GO POONGKO :aah
-
DAMN, that was a promo from 801 :gladbron
0 - 2 :fbm
-
???
Strider went 1-2
-
who did strider beat? I might have misheard, but I thought ultra david just said strider went 0 - 2
-
Strider is out. Lost 1-2 against Kaz(Yun) and then lost to Luffy in losers.
-
Oh for real? Forgot to check how he did in losers.
-
Yeah. A lot of players that were assumed to reach top 16/top 8 have been eliminated in losers.
-

-
Current brackets, seems to update quickly http://challonge.com/capcom_cup_2015
-
Damn. Bon eliminated? Went from EVO winner to eliminated in the top two tourneys of the year early on.
-
Fucked up thing is Bonchan won two major tourneys in Japan, in a row a month or two ago. Sagat is usually a very good pick against most characters.
Momochi won EVO I believe, he got wrecked by Poongko and is now going against luffy.
-
Matches are running again.
-
Gamerbee sent to losers, should've used Elena ;)

Bad memories. Girl will wreck your shit. Straight up truck.
-
Daigo versus Infiltration is going to happen down the line :mindblown
-
SHADES OF E3.
-
This nicca did this on purpose. :lol Poongko taking no prisoners.
-
ANOTHER Razer arcade stick fucks up
Razer :trash :trash :trash :trash :trash :trash :trash :trash :trash
-
Poongko not giving a FUCK.
-
Holy fuck. Xian's got a pocket Poison but Poison is a horrible MU with Abel.
-
Keoma's Abel though. :gladbron
-
Gen's health being low makes this matchup really bad as well. A couple mistakes and that's the match. Hate playing as low stamina characters, except El Fuerte.
Being a Blanka and El Fuerte player makes everyone on Xbox live automatically hate you, even if you aren't doing scrubby strategies >:(.
-
No doubt. :lawd
This set :rejoice
-
Xian with that neutral bait :aah
-
XIAN!
YES.
:rejoice
-
My nicca Xian :tocry
How is Valmaster doing?!
-
valmaster beat nemo in losers, then lost to shiro
-
Goddamn this is a set.
-
THE MAGIC PIXEL
-
Infiltration played that VERY well. He played the immovable wall part so well and he really came close. I think he could have taken it but it looked like he had an execution error and hit the wrong button.
Daigo did straight Daigo. Basic Ryu fundamentals: cr. MK fireball cancels, and space control. The way Daigo was able to bully Infiltration for space was incredible. He simply wouldn't let Infiltration in to Chun's sweet spot.
-
Keoma vs Snake Eyez and Misse vs Infiltration! :o
-
:o
Poongko vs Xian
-
Misse might take it all, would be a ginormous upset.
Daigo versus Snake eyes.
-
:noah
This tournament.
-
Snake eyez got shut down. :kobeyuck
-
He really needs to expand his characters beyond Gief in SFV.
-
r/kappa well represented :leon

That hug :brazilcry :brazilcry :brazilcry :brazilcry :brazilcry
Poongko, you have to take this.

The camera didn't show it but Poongko was crying on stage and as soon as he got off stage, he ran to the back as fast as he could :(

Yo damn, that Yang Ultra. :lol
-
Yun vs E. Ryu in the finals sounds about right. They're the two top tier characters.
-
Daigo is so over.
-
Daigo is so over.
Spoke too soon.
-
Daigo's winning. He's found a counter to Yun's dive kick.
-
Damn. I was wrong - THE BEAST KILLER.
-
Daigo :lol
That's what you get for boring us with that lame Evil Ryu play. :doge
Daigo's winning. He's found a counter to Yun's dive kick.

-

Spoke too soon.
He had a good comeback, but as soon as Yang had meter it was over. Daigo couldn't handle that offensive.
I'll give Daigo props: He made it a lot further than I thought he would, given his Evo performance and performance in general over the past few years.
-
Final SFIV tourney :brazilcry
-
DAIGO DISAPPEARED LIKE RYU IN SF2 ENDING
-
Awesome tourney. SFIV overall is a great fighting game with dumb gimmicks and huge oversights, but seeing a fighting game have so many beasts, that all use different characters, was rad as can be.
-
Daigo went ot kill himself LMAO
-
Final SFIV tourney :brazilcry
I'd be really surprised if it isn't at EVO 2016. Definitely wont be the main event though.
-
Final SFIV tourney :brazilcry
Nah. Final one that takes the top slot in a big tournament though, I'm sure.

I've heard talk SFIV won't be at EVO.
-
I'm past ready for something new so I'm glad SFV is two months away. I've enjoyed the hell out of SF4 over the years but it's over seven years old and it's way past time to move on. I hope the new game also shakes things up in the tournament scene, too. Here's hoping for some new blood in the top 16.
-
Mr Wizard had some polls on twitter, a lot of people want SFIV at EVO still.
I think Street Fighter getting the Smash treatment at EVO would be fine.
-
I've heard talk SFIV won't be at EVO.
Evo is Capcom fighter country, either Street 4 will be there. Or Marvel. But given Marvel's fast decline, I doubt Street 4 will be bumped off for animu or 3D fighters.
Anyway, half the prize-money ($60,000) to Daigo ain't anything to sneeze at. He's in his... late 30's? Mid 30's?

It's not like 3S immediately went away after 4 hit. Hell SSF2T pops up here and there too.
-

This will be the most interesting thing about SFV. I have a feeling the competition is only going to get more hazardous and bombastic. A lot of players from other games will probably jump on the SFV train immediately.
-
This better not be a movie announcement thing. :-\
-
Damn it.
-
That was the worst announcement for SFV yet.
-
This better not be a movie announcement thing. :-\
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Half-correct. Shitty web series.
-
That's neat and nice.
-
Oh, what's this?
-
Eh, the opening.
-
I missed a large chunk of this earlier in the day and came back for the top 8, but I dunno if I'm gonna bother watching that footage. Was it worth it?
-
Some matches yeah. I'd say wait for a compilation or best of video.

Yeah, but how often does 3S/2T get airtime/tournament sides that are extremely popular beyond veterans?
-
Stuff was popular enough leading up to the past year or two. It's died down now, sure, but interest remained in previous games for a while after SF4's release. I suspect Ultra will still be around at all the major tournies for another couple of years, in some form, but will understandably be way less popular.
-
Yeah I'd be shocked if Ultra didn't stick around for a few months to a year after SF5. That's just the way it goes.
Hell there was that one EVO (2008? 2009?) that had HDR, 3S, and SF4 as main games
