Did they paint themselves into the "one character a month" corner like last year?

they said it would be a character every other month so we would get one this month...would be a good time to announce a new character but capcom doesn't work that way.

Going back to this post from the Final Round weekend thread, its looking like the current stream count, 26K, will not meet last year's numbers. (Though who knows - the count is going up 1K every couple minutes.)

NCR was 88 or 89k in 2016 and 62k in 2015

There's no way this will make what it was last year considering SFV had just came out.

That being said, it should be more, but considering everything got pushed back, it's gonna lose viewers.

 

[Playsage]

Top 8 starting good

 

[GeoNeo]

LETS GO DU.

 

[Dahbomb]

So the official ruling now is that draws don't count anymore?

Pretty sure that's not how it was done before but oh well.

 

[Xeteh]

The double KO holy shit.

 

[Unlucky]

A draw match as determined by the game must be replayed, unless the game awards the draw to a player.

Well that settles it then.

Good to know. So strange lol. Capcom should really just add a final final round. 👀

 

[RecRoulette]

Wait, if they stick to the schedule the last one would be out in October? Damn.

Nah Double KOs are too hype.

 

[GeoNeo]

OMG 2-2.

Oh shit.

 

[ScribbleD]

This is gonna be heartbreaking if Du loses this.

 

[RecRoulette]

Man, if Fuudo ends up taking this set because of the change to how draws work...

 

[Dahbomb]

Pretty sure that's not how it was done before but oh well.

In every FG tournament I've been involved with, draw rounds and games are awarded based on the game's default ruleset (except for 3S sometimes and that's because Judgement is just an awful mechanic), but sets can never be won on a draw game -- they've never counted as a win for either player.

Nope. This was always the rule as far as I know and as far as I can confirm using web.archive.org. Other games might consider a draw as giving a match to each player but I've always considered that really strange personally.

It depends on how the game itself awards double kos. Some games it works the other way.

Am I misremembering or was teabagging not a thing in SF4

And from Evo's rules, which are commonly used as the template for many FG events (including the CPT itself):

ADDITIONAL RULES

A draw match as determined by the game must be replayed, unless the game awards the draw to a player (i.e. Street Fighter III, Third Strike).

 

[GeoNeo]

OH SHIT LOL.

 

[Takamura-San]

The disrespect by Punk #thuggery

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Punk is so entertaining.

 

[creatchee]

Teabagging is the new footsies

 

[Rickenslacker]

eSports is dead

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Are there footsies or crotchies?

 

[GeoNeo]

Punk & Du the dynamic duo. 😂
