CEO 2015 Fighting Game Tournament - June 26-28

It would suck. USF4 has a variety of viable characteres- SF4/AE would just overpower everything else.

Oh I'm not looking for balance anymore at that point. I want to see the best SF4 characters fight it out and see where everybody stands.

It's vanilla Akuma up top, though.
 
This would be fun.

You'd think it would be, but if there was actual money on the line everyone would just be picking the one character that's slightly more OP than the other ones, and it would become boring real fast. Overpowered modes always become boring af once people inevitably figure them out.

That'd maybe be fun for a side tourney, nothing more.
 
Mike Ross getting 4th entrance? Rigged!

Yeah, but there likely wouldn't' be enough time for it to get stale before SF5 completely takes over.

No one has any idea what that "one character" is, though, because Omega hasn't been explored at all.

And, that's the most exciting period in any fighting game. The learning period.

Who knows, Omega mode might actually turn out to be fairly balanced. No one knows yet.

That's kind of the point, SF4 will be a side tourney soon enough with V coming out. ;)

It doesn't take long for players to find the stronger characters in a game that's supposed to be balanced, let alone Omega that was never supposed to be balanced. By putting money on the line you're turning a fun mode into an super imbalanced fighting game, and I don't see the fun in that.

"Unbalanced" fighting games have often enjoyed great success in the tournament scene...with money on the line. And, people had great fun.

Omega mode wouldn't be the first time of the last time (assuming it actually is THAT unbalanced in the first place, which we don't know.)
 
Edition select tourney. Picks ultra oni. Sanford is the most try hard guy I have ever seen, and he just got destroyed.
