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

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

 

[joe2187]

daigo's not getting out of prelims

Lupe Fiasco gonna come running down from the stands and hit em with a chair.

 

[BizzyBum]

Wait, gootecks is competing again? PogChamp

 

[Tekniqs]

The world isn't ready for Zhi's commentary

rofl they really aren't.

daigo gonna go in this with his guile or roo?

 

[depths20XX]

rofl they really aren't.

daigo gonna go in this with his guile or roo?

He said he's bringing Guile.

 

[Velikost]

Gootecks? Really? lol

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

Respect a legend, smh

 

[depths20XX]

Respect a legend, smh

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.

 

[Zackat]

Weird that Gootecks is in but Mike Ross isn't involved at all.

meme money


PogChamp

 

[Kumubou]

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

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?

 

[Alucrid]

lol marn? can't wait to see who he bodies and then how he chokes

[JayEH]

Should have gotten Mike instead of gootecks.

 

[Immortal Technique]

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.

 

[K.Sabot]

Lots of wasted slots for sure.

 

[j.rob]

Is that a silhouette of the Smash 4 render of Ryu they are using for the group explanation? I find that slightly amusing ahaha.

Should be hype tho. Lets goooooo.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will be tuning in. Thanks.

I bet you're excited to watch some SFV Kumu 8)

 

[Slixshot]

What's the prize pool for the tourney?

 

[Baleoce]

Tasty Steve's suit game is on point.

 

[MechaX]

Hahaha oh man, Zhi on national television

 

[Taliban Stan]

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.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Hahaha oh man, Zhi on national television

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.

 

[SliceSabre]

Damn I'm going to miss the first 30 minutes due to work to home commute.

 

[Augemitbutter]

wut. well if daigo is playing guile i gotta watch.

 

[HardRojo]

Fuck, hopefully Zhi won't be on the mic when I catch the stream.

 

[EPaul]

I haven't been following the FGC since SFV kinda kill my interest but is Gootecks good again?

 

[7DollarHagane]

They should save this type of thing for MvCI



SFV..

Wow it's almost like you haven't been paying attention.

Sf5 is hype af lately.

 

[djplaeskool]

Tasty Steve lookin' 110% ESPN right there.
I love it.

 

[Neoxon]

Looks like I'm gonna miss the first hour or so thanks to class.

Yeah, it'll be interesting alright, although it more than likely we'll get a very watered down Zhi.

 

[HardRojo]

By far the best commentator from those 4, followed by Sajam.

Yeah, it'll be interesting alright, although it more than likely we'll get a very watered down Zhi.

How about no Zhi at all? That'd be much better.

 

[XenoRaven]

ELEAGUE? More like everyone dropped Chun-LELEAGUE am I right?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Did Daigo really switch to Guile? WTF? lol.

when he gives up on ryu you know that character is fucked.

 

[BadWolf]

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.

 

[BotoxAgent]

will watch for Daigo

 

[HardRojo]

I might miss the stream today due to classes

 

[Exr]

Thanks for the heads up Tripon.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

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

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.

 

[Tallshortman]

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

Him being a salaryman and family man might keep him from this sort of tournament where it's every week.

 

[Pompadour]

I'm not a pro player that got passed over for an invitation so I prefer to have a few "personalities" here. There's already plenty of tournaments that are open to everyone.

 

[Shmuppers]

Pulling for Smug.

Dude brings the hype at every tourney he participates in. Seeing Daigo's Guile in a tournament setting will be interesting as well.

 

[vulva]

Marn gonna win this free as long as he doesn't face Justin.

 

[bryt]

Is Ricki still playing Chun for this?

 

[fresquito]

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...

 

[vulva]

Is Ricki still playing Chun for this?

I'm expecting Cammy

 

[trixx]

How does this work with season 2.5 on the horizon midway through the tournament?

And yeah missing people like Art, who's been working hard for years and a guy that's real good in Chris G, was a mistake imo

 

[BadWolf]

What she did isn't wrong but generally speaking people just don't like scalpers.

 

[Ninjimbo]

Do we have any idea of who Infiltration is going to be playing? I saw that he's been playing around with Akuma.
