Machabo and Punk both won their first round matches. Daigo lost his first round match to Problem X in a close fight. He recently said on stream that he was confident about the tournament if he stayed in winner's bracket because he prepared a lot for those players and match-ups, but he did not think he was likely to perform well from loser's bracket.

Momochi vs NL next. Will be interesting to see what form Momochi is in.

Edit: 3-0 for Momochi so....very good form, lol.

 

[Enjay]

The emulating of wrestling and hip hop cringe in the scene has resulted in seeing only the very same names you saw way back in vanilla street fighter iv tournaments.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

This mika mirror is insane.

Can't believe how close Luffy came to bringing it all the way back from 0-2. In a way maybe top 32 is better than top 8 because you know both player's have practiced for each other.

Some of the new players like Kichipa-mu or Fujimura are exciting, top level talents. But the players I was talking about before like Daigo and Momochi were actually at the top of competitive play since long before SFIV.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Man, Xian looking so hot. Very exciting. Hope he goes deep.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

DAMMN!!!! What a hype match between Bonchan and Smug. Smug overcame Bonchan's Karin with G's absurd pressure. Very good fight.

There's a Rashid mirror next so time for me to go and make a cup of coffee. Or as Lucia would say it, a cup of Cawwwfee.

 

[Richard Packer]

Bonchan knocked into losers first round by Smug.

I love that Rhythm Heaven crossover.

"Wubba-lubba-dub, is that true?" Rhythm heaven is so fun.

I'll post more funny/cool street fighter pics as the tourney goes on.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Was hoping Strider could take out Big Bird and thin out all these Rashids a bit. No such luck. 3-2, Big Bird came all the way back from 0-2.

Mabye Sako will do something tricky here, his standard Menat play has not been very effective compared to last season.

Edit: Ughhhh that was painful to watch. Phenom did the command throw loops thing again.

Loser's matches are not streamed unfortunately. Strider, Dogura and Zenith are out.

Wow, Idom. Insane comeback. Fujimura was crushing him and he brought it all the way back. His Laura is smothering.

Fujimura isn't that new. He was a strong Viper player in the SF4 era but with less recognition than the usual suspects.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Fujimura isn't that new. He was a strong Viper player in the SF4 era but with less recognition than the usual suspects.

TBH I never knew about Yukadon/Fujimura before his rise to prominence in SFV. But the point I was making still stands, he wasn't winning tournaments all over the place in SFIV and getting into Capcom Cup. So it's not only the same players that were in big vanilla SFIV tournaments that are in big tournaments now.

 

[abstract alien]

Bonchan vs Smug was amazing

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Well that was a great first round. Bonchan vs Smug, Fuudo vs Luffy, and Fujimura vs Idom were some particularly great matches worth seeing.

Daigo fighting NL now. Here's an artist's interpretation of how Dagio vs Problem X went in round 1:

Yea I didn't hear about him in that era too.

It's just when I think "new" players I'm thinking of those that literally started playing FGs in the current gen:

Someone like Haku, who Momochi took under his wing. Or that Akuma player that Daigo was mentoring and sparred with to train for his set with Tokido.

Still, I can see where you're coming from, I just don't want others to read and think Fujimura is some FG freshman.

Edit: Fixed a missing word that's been bugging me.

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

BTW, thanks for starting and updating the thread. The pictures are definitely a highlight XD

Thx, I'll try and dig up some nice weird ones.

Daigo squeaking out a win there. I guess if you've been over-prepping for Tokido, NL's Lion King is manageable.

Everything the light touches

 

[Richard Packer]

Jesus Bonchan went 0-2. SFV is the hardest game to be consistent in. I dunno how Tokido does it.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Bonchan out 0-2. So much for all the fantasy brackets with Punk vs Bonchan finals.

Fujimura also out 0-2.

Crazy.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Kichipa-mu you absolute mad lad. Wish we could have seen more of your games.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Kichipa-mu you absolute mad lad. Wish we could have seen more of your games.

His Gief is so entertaining to watch.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I updated op with strikethroughs on all 8 eliminated players.

His Gief is so entertaining to watch.

Yeah. When he's switched on, his reads are incredible.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Punk and Problem making short work of Machabo and Momochi, 3-0 in each fight. They'll face each other in winner's top 16.

EDIT: It seems tomorrow is top 16, not top 8, so I removed about winner's finals being a western nations vs eastern nation's situation.

 

[Caffeine]

watching now missed most of today though

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Awww. Xian fought so well, but Fuudo is just too much.

On the upside, if one could choose the manner of their own death, surely most of us would choose to die by Mika's super.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Another Rashid moves on. Well played by Smug but maybe he should have brought out G at the end.

Big bird seems to have a lot of momentum lately. It'll be a big deal if Phenom can get past him.

EDIT: He did it! Presumably Phenom will go deep. His next opponent will be Johnny Takeuchi, so if Big Bird's Rashid wasn't a problem...

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

Punk and Problem making short work of Machabo and Momochi, 3-0 in each fight.

Can't help but notice it's PP>>MM.

Cammy's CQC in SF4 if you want death by a thigh high.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

Fantastic thread OP. Much better than the another place that-must-not-be-named effort. That thread over there is so toxic too.

Despite streaming issues (and FGC can’t complain too much since it’s effectively free entertainment), so far the matches have been great to watch!

Loving the artwork

Thanks. Something tells me the forum which we dare not speak its name is a little upset about recent elections and their toxicity levels are above their usual 100%.

What a hype set between Mago and Tokido... And now Tokido has to fight Daigo!

 

[Kenji Ramon]

Mago with the clutch! No we got electricity vs ninja!

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Mago with the clutch! No we got electricity vs ninja!

They're both playing great! It's a shame these up-and-comers have to eliminate each other.

EDIT: Wow. Amazing match! Congrats Idom.

Winners top 16 is Punk vs Problem X, Fuudo vs Oil King, Johnny Takeuchi vs Phenom, and Mago vs Idom.

 

[Nymphae]

Infectious is so hilariously stone faced all the time, I got a good laugh from the commentator going "There's infectious popping off as you can see" lol, the guy looks like a mannequin.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

Idom with that comeback was insane. Well deserved.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Love Momochi's crazy character picks

That reminds me I need more cawwwfee

EDIT: Nooooo! The Lucia pick didn't work out! Well played by Momochi though...Another Rashid moves on.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

Noo Lucia

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Rashid keeps ruining everybody's day

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Love Momochi's crazy character picks

EDIT: Nooooo! The Lucia pick didn't work out! Well played by Momochi though...Another Rashid moves on.

I thought Sako would pick his Lucia but he's going with Menat instead. At least it's still eye candy for me tho

Also: Holy shit Rashid is soooo strong in this game. Single multi-hit EX moves that can move him corner-to-corner. Longest and strongest 50/50 setup in the game with that whirlwind tornado of a wall. Best conversions off of trades, best plus-frame setups to tick into normal grab as pressure, etc. etc.

Almost half of Top 16 is probably gonna be Rashids. 3 Karins, 2 Bisons and a lone Akuma, yet some people still pretend Rashid isn't OP

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

True, and it's been that way for a while. While everyone was talking about how OP Cammy was, which was true, Rashid was quietly outperforming her.

Amaaaaazing match between Xian and Sako. They were both outstanding. Sad to see Sako go.

Goodbye, Sako!

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

A guy in the live chat just said:

"don't worry guys, Hot Dog can still ketchup"

EDIT: Nemo too good. Smug played well though.

Luffy so clutch! Just 1 more round... He did it, lol!

Wowwww

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Luffys Mika takes out B Birds Rashid? Fuck yeah!

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Daigo vs Tokido now... IT's ON!

Dat jab confirm into super! And then he clapped for himself?

EDIT: 2-1...Veeeery intense!

EDIT: 2-2 now...super close!

EDIT: Dammit, last game last round, as always!

EDIT: Nice one, Tokido. Looked like Daigo was running away with it there, but Tokido brought it back.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

They're arguing? Technical difficulties? Somethings up...

Console overheating? No idea...we got up to the final match of the day (Infexious vs Angry Bird) but we suddenly have down time while they work out technical difficulties...

EDIT: Congrats to Infexious on the win. His prize is a fight with Tokido in top 16.

Updated OP with Top 16 and strikethroughs on all eliminated players from the top 32

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Yeah the tech difficulties were weird, they wouldn't have these issues if they were playing on arcade machines

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

tokido vs daigo was so fking tense, but my boi took it.

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

Dat alliteration nation.

Hah! Inspired by Damascus?
