[yella]

This is very interesting. Subscribing so I can watch some of these matches!

 

[eggandI]

They should save this type of thing for MvCI



SFV..

 

[CountAntonius]

People always said fighters are the best fit for television. Let's see how this goes.

 

[MrCarter]

Let's go Xian or K-Brad!

 

[Moaradin]

They should save this type of thing for MvCI



SFV..

Na. The major tournaments for SFV have been hype as fuck.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Sounds good! Will definitely tune in.

 

[Zackat]

edit: 10pm EST I see now

 

[MrCarter]

Na. The major tournaments for SFV have been hype as fuck.

 

[LowParry]

Tasty Steve as commentary? Fuck yes! Love that guy. He's so hype on the Tekken streams too.

 

[dezzy8]

Damn Tasty Steve on the mic?

 

[morpix]

American version of Topanga League with players from everywhere?! I'm ok with this. Can't wait, wish the finals was FT10 though.

 

[SheHateMe]

This should be goooooooood.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

They should save this type of thing for MvCI



SFV..

Last few tournaments have been pretty great

[Skilletor]

SFV..

This post is stupid.

 

[Danis Saur]

Full of killers, very excited to watch this.

 

[Renkax]

Hopefully Zhi's commentary isn't too much on TV. don't enjoy his commentary some of the time

 

[jwhit28]

Sajam has gotta step his segue game up to never before seen levels.

 

[ShadyJ]

No ISDD

 

[Sinatar]

Broadcasters/host

Zhi on national TV?

 

[MrCarter]

This post is stupid.

MvCI is not even out until late fall lmao. No idea why some people get so insecure over minuscule things.

 

[Alchemist]

Gootecks? Really? lol

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Yay Zhi!!!

I've seen the commercials for this on TV countless times already. Pretty crazy it's getting this much attention on national tv.

 

[squall23]

Can we have a special Conan appearance as well since it's TBS?

 

[Charamiwa]

The world isn't ready for Zhi's commentary

 

[Teknopathetic]

I love Excellent Adventures, the old street fighter podcasts from back in the day pre-SF4, and enjoyed his 3s Urien play...

But I dunno about Gootecks being invited.

 

[j0hnnix]

Broadcasters/host

Where's , nvm....

 

[DKL]

The world isn't ready for Zhi's commentary

I always feel this impending sense of dread whenever he gets on the mic.

Like... esports will suddenly end when he talks.

 

[J@hranimo]

They should save this type of thing for MvCI



SFV..

Like, the game ain't even out yet lol.

 

[Anth0ny]

daigo's not getting out of prelims

 

[biosnake20]

Gootecks invited over people like ChrisG or Arturo. How outlandish.

 

[depths20XX]

Gootecks invited over people like ChrisG or Arturo. How outlandish.

Yeah seems strange he's invited. I'd almost say they same about Valle. Don't think he had much of a tournament showing in SFV.

 

[MrDaravon]

I vaguely knew this was happening but didn't realize what the format was. 4pm EST actually works out fantastic for my work schedule (I get home around 3:45pm EST) but are all matches being streamed? 28 matches seems like a lot to get through if they're airing all of them.

Either way looking forward to this.

Gootecks invited over people like ChrisG or Arturo. How outlandish.

Probably partly for entertainment purposes to get known personalities on, but also probably in part due to this likely conflicting with people's schedules for "actual" upcoming tournaments and being unable to commit.

 

[ntropy]

no Sako

 

[Alchemist]

daigo's not getting out of prelims

He's using Guile now

 

[Producer]

Should be hype but some player choices are just dumb.

 

[Syntsui]

Will Daigo really play Guile now that they will nerf him and buff Ryu?

 

[Kashiwaba]

no Sako

Weird he was top 16 at capcup be should have been here.
