Yep.Stream would have reached 100K if these finals were 2-3 hours earlier.
Infiltration made a deal with the devil. That fucking shoryuken.
It's not even about the mechanics. Street Fighter IV is old no matter how many new titles you give it. Capcom made SFxT and slapped nearly everything they could think of on that title in preparation for the scene to make the shift to a fresh game, but it didn't happen. People were more than willing to move too.Running 3 hours late is unexcusable for sure, but the fact remains:
From a mechanic standpoint, how is SFIV even close to being as exciting to watch as MvC3 or KOF XIII at the highest level? Even if the matches were close, there's so much that can excite the casual viewers compared to Marvel 3 or KOF XIII.
It is what it is and people need to accept that if it's still the main event game next year.
