I thought he wasn't getting nerfed that badly? Will still be a good character.

Gootecks has done great stuff for the community, but let's be honest. Dude hasn't been relevant in the tournament scene since like vanilla SFIV.
Invitations were based on CPT season standings (top 12 global plus the highest regional player in NA/EU/SA/Asis), not CPT finals placement (as originally reported). That's why neither Kazunoko or GO1 were invited, even though they both made top 8 at Capcom Cup finals.
But we need e-sports superstars like Gootecks invited, even though he has no real shot making it past the prelims. What's the point?

Why are people obsessing over Gootecks, an icon in the scene, when there's an invited player whose only claim to fame is that they physically attacked their opponent after losing a match.
And we don't know who declined invites. Maybe they asked Mike Ross too, who knows.

Personalities and storylines. Marn, Gilty, Gooteck and LPN look like they're there mainly for that. Marn and Gilty can usually end up playing out of their mind then floppi g though. Should be good.

I'd been hearing about this but hadn't seen the details of it in one place yet. Nice thread. Event sounds cool. I'll watch for sure.

I know, right? Dude's my second favorite commentator but Zhi is too much for national TV. How James Chen wasn't selected for this is mind boggling. He's the only commentator I know that explains fighting game terms or gives helpful info about fighting games to newcomers of the scene.

Could have been a CPT scheduling conflict. Maybe Sajam and Steve have a different deal that lets them miss days or events but James can't.
Zhi on TV should be interesting. At least it's late at night sometimes.

Yeah, it'll be interesting alright, although it more than likely we'll get a very watered down Zhi.
By far the best commentator from those 4, followed by Sajam.
How about no Zhi at all? That'd be much better.

Did Daigo really switch to Guile? WTF? lol.
when he gives up on ryu you know that character is fucked.

Ryu didn't click for him at all in SFV, even in S1 when he was high tier. Daigo should have tried someone else long ago.

gootecks has done a lot for the community. now inviting gllty over Arturo is more offensive. I remember how she was trying to resell Daigo's book when it was first sold in english for hundreds of dollars which was scummy as fuck.
there was also that incident with that gief player last year that made her look awful.

Him being a salaryman and family man might keep him from this sort of tournament where it's every week.
What world do you live in? If I could make hundreds of dollars off selling a book, you bet I would? Are people like you for real?
Or maybe it's that I don't ride a white horse and see things differently from down here...
I'm expecting Cammy
What she did isn't wrong but generally speaking people just don't like scalpers.
