EVO 2012 Thread 2 Because one thread wasnt enough to hold all the hype and the salt

Can anyone explain why the match was reset? I don't fully understand.
In double elimination you have to lose twice to be out. Cervantes player hadn't lost yet. Tira player had lost once. So the Tira player has to give the Cervantes player 2 losses to eliminate him. The first win is called a bracket reset, which puts them on even ground.
 
These SCV finals have been amazing. With VF5FS, TTT2, P4 Arena and Skullgirls being canidates for next years evo I really hope SCV has chance to make the cut again.
 
Maybe a stupid question but any reason why they don't have T6 this year?

SCV is the new Namco fighter this year, and there's only so many spots for EVO so they went with that. Next year it's sure to be Tekken Tag Tournament 2 after it's console release this September.
 
SCV so got the fucking short end of the stick from Namco. Game would have been amazing with the Tekken treatment, but it's already known as a placeholder for Tekken...
 
Huh, weird. So a person who loses once, can then win Losers Bracket and then compete in the Finals? But then they're at a disadvantage in the Finals, because they have to win twice?

Wish the commentators were explaining this.

Basically look it like this. The tournament is a double elimination tournament.

So in order for you to win the tournament everyone that enter the tournament must lose a set at least twice.

Going into the finals.

Shining Decopon has already lost a set. Shen Chan has lost 0 sets. In the finals Shining Decopon beat Shen Chan in the first set.

So at this point they both have lost one time. So basically the next one to lose a set lose the tournament.
