lol UMK3 LIVES!!!!!

wanna see some keyboard warriors

 

[USD]

Yeah, there's no way that LI and SweetJohnnyCage would run a tournament without UMK3.

 

[TaKeRx]

Nice, I'm planning to make it there tomorrow.

 

[ShaneB]

I really want to see some 3S on the stream.

quick edit... well now that I've read the schedule, sweet, some 3S!

 

[LakeEarth]

Oh cool, more SFxT. I was worried we wouldn't see it again til Evo.

Yep, looking forward to it

I heard S-kill is supposed to be bringing some 3S:OE preview builds with him to ECT3 too, aside from SFxTK.

Do want 3rd Strike stream. Also, Skullgirls, MAHVEL, SFxT & AE at the same venue? Madness, delicious stream monster friendly madness.

 

[viewtiful_dru]

I'll be there!

 

[DryEyeRelief]

So is SF4answers guy going to be on the mic?

Haha, I still remember that shit. Not Sessler-level legendary, but horrible nonetheless.

Tornado Galaxy and Jab spam for life.

Watching some of the old matches from ECT2:

East Coast Throwdown 2 SSFIV playlist

No video for Grand Finals though.

The highlight of the tourney:

Sanford vs Inthul

I laughed at TriForce yelling in the background at the end of Game 2.

"The fucking King is not dead! The King ain't fucking dead!"

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

I'll be there! Can't wait.

OP, you forgot to mention Tom Brady will be there.

Edit: now fixed.

Fuck why does this have to be at the same time as Shadowloo Showdown.

 

[strikeselect]

Looking forward to this tourney.

The MK9 competition is going to be fierce.

 

[ShinobiFist]

I'll be there on Sunday. Having my BDAY party at the city on Saturday, then head to Jersey and see some of my peeps get down.

 

[Busaiku]

Wait, what the heck happened to Jago?!

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I really hope Seth commentates some Marvel this time.

 

[USD]

Wait, what the heck happened to Jago?!

Not sure, apparently it was something serious enough to require surgery.

 

[NinajHeartless]

I will be attending this today See you on the stream GAF!

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

According to mod 9.95 on TYM, MK9 pools will not be streamed on justin.tv/teamsp00ky, ONLY TOP 8. If anyone wants to see MK9 pools, they are on justin.tv/kombatnetwork.

Thanks for the heads-up. Also added the stream link for ST to the OP.

 

[perfectnight]

Fuck yes!! been waiting for this. It's going to be a great weekend!

 

[Gyoru]

Spooky's stream is up right now with some Skullgirls.

 

[USD]

Heh, perfect timing, I catch some Z's and wake up to the stream.

 

[Busaiku]

63 colors?!

 

[USD]

The thought that's going into this game is incredible. I really hope it turns out great.

 

[bistromathics]

the skull girls interview/casuals going on right now is pretty okay

 

[Busaiku]

Holy crap, you don't jump if you're doing a 360.

 

[Azure J]

Fuck yea Skullgirls. These dudes know what they're doing with this fighting engine.

Edit: Holy Soviet Damage! Mike Z beasted this guy. :lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

Mike Z blowing up people in his own game. Unfair, lol.

 

[abstract alien]

My only real gripe just from looking at the game would be the reactionary animations look like crap. Other than that, I'm kinda digging Skullgirls :^)

Edit: Also seems like matches last pretty long, but that could be due to them playing shit or something.

 

[Diablohead]

East coast? good that's a bit better in my timezone then Australia is 5 hours vs 12.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Spooky is PISSED

 

[USD]

Ahaha, the tension between Spooky and Arturo is still in the air.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Skull Girls so beautiful

 

[Omnicent]

Skull Girls so beautiful

Seriously, it looks fluid and awesome.

 

[abstract alien]

Ahaha, the tension between Spooky and Arturo is still in the air.

I know! Thought it would have died off by now, but I think its gonna be a staple for awhile. Gotta bring it up at Evo for lulz

 

[Kadey]

It's never going to go away. Sp00ky is extremely sensitive about his equipment and he has a right to be so.

Imagine if Art screws with the equipment during Grand Finals

Imagine if Art screws with the equipment during Grand Finals

We will get another final match where we are looking at the players faces instead of the game lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

They'll stream Spooky's fist fight with Art

 

[Kaako]

Art just messing with him lol. Trying to fuel dat flame.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Cerebella's command grab animations...holy shit. That's pretty amazing.

Was that Peacock's snapback, with the spiked bat?

 

[sixteen-bit]

There should really be a prize for someone if they can beat Mike Z in his own game.

 

[Ace Harding]

I am really rooting for Skullgirls. Looks really interesting. And fucking CRAZY.
