[I-hate-u]

DQ these guys

 

[Shito]

Can you enforce the grid ban rule at least once?

They did earlier.
Haitani match I think.

 

[JeTmAn81]

lmao Apologyman beat Ryan hart now.

He's come from anime to bring his dark reign to all Capcom games

 

[Doomshine]

Wait why is the training stage banned in SF5?

Purely for spectators, which is pretty dumb.

 

[TheSeks]

Yooooooo that Dacidbro stage clear.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will we see a stick toss?

 

[jbug617]

Art made it out in Winners.

 

[Unlucky]

CPT rules state that the stage must be random select. Many tournaments ignore this rule but evo has enforced it.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Come on Sanford

Get awkwardly angry

 

[HardRojo]

Lol I totally forgot the grid is banned, seems to a common sentiment, even for players.

 

[papertoonz]

I hope there's some way Pokken NX or whatever can be way more tourney friendly.

unless the NX can output two different screens at once and keep 60fps it's not going to help

 

[JeTmAn81]

Purely for spectators, which is pretty dumb.

Oh so it really is just because people are so tired of it from IV?

 

[Makki]

Bikini costumes were banned, right?

They were? I saw Bonita Laura so if they did what the fuck LOL ban all skin costumes

 

[Crayolan]

Wasn't Pokken supposed to be at final 8 by now did they hold it up waiting for Smash 4 to end?

I think Pokken top 8 was scheduled for 20 minutes from now

Doesn't look like they're gonna hit that time though.

 

[BassForever]

Purely for spectators, which is pretty dumb.

I mean yeah training stage is "boring" but like who cares I remember one year where UMVC3 only played on it's training stage due to fear of lag.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Justin in losers

 

[Einchy]

They were? I saw Bonita Laura so if they did what the fuck LOL ban all skin costumes

I wanna say I heard a commentator talk about it yesterday, but I might be remembering wrong.

 

[Kadey]

Will this be the first stick throw at EVO?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Sanford with the epic drops, that's it for him.

 

[Mass Effect]

lmao Apologyman beat Ryan hart now.

Will he make it to top 16?!

I hope so!

---

also, stick throw incoming

 

[HardRojo]

These Necalli uppercuts!

 

[Doomshine]

They were? I saw Bonita Laura so if they did what the fuck LOL ban all skin costumes

What's the point when Mika is in the game? lol

 

[The 18th Letter]

Bikini costumes were banned, right?

it would be the most capcom thing ever to add bikini costumes and then ban bikini costumes

 

[mnz]

So Capcom is banning their own costumes?

 

[Wallach]

lol sanford lost to some online stuff

[Papercuts]

Lmao at combofiend.

[Matsukaze]

Sanford knows he fucked up lol

 

[BlizzKrut]

I wanna say I heard a commentator talk about it yesterday, but I might be remembering wrong.

That's the beach stage.

 

[Fitts]

"Sanford looked bad."

Nah that was all Ken.

Pokken bracket

[Busaiku]

Was that a Valor shirt.
Disgusting.

 

[Shito]

Haven't seen a single premium costume, bikini or not, so my guess is that they just didn't bought them and that's that.
But of course it's funnier to believe a "bikini ban" rumor. ^^

 

[RecRoulette]

I think Pokken top 8 was scheduled for 20 minutes from now

Doesn't look like they're gonna hit that time though.

Based on the bracket I saw on twitter, they are about 3-4 matches away from Top 16, so itll be awhile.

Edit: Damn, Killer Instinct's entire top 32 to top 8 is off stream. Huh.

 

[BizzyBum]

Father time getting in Sanford's way... lol

 

[Alucrid]

marn was playing with bird mika yesterday, so they have them

 

["God's Beard!"]

Justin in losers

pandadamus with the marn prediction looking good

 

[Lulubop]

Is this SFV Top 32?

Not even close

 

[Xeteh]

jab jab hk.stomp. The realest combo.

They totally used premium costumes.

Interesting.
Then that means that all those Laura's I've seen on stream today were total frauds for not picking up her superior alt!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Ha, these two Pokken players' "IDGAF" playstyles are clashing really well.

 

[papertoonz]

this gachomp is putting in work

Is that UltraDavid commentating Pokken

yes

It's not that I'm trying to start a rumor, but everyone talking about grid being banned reminded me that I thought I heard the bikini costumes were banned. Was asking if anyone else knew about it.

It'd make sense, I feel, since they probably don't want sexy ass Karen and Chun on ESPN but who knows if it's true.

 

[CrackPebbles]

I liked how squall didn't quick rise much at all, showed that sanford didn't have the frame kills down for normal recovery just quick rise. He got to wake up for free alot of the time.

LOST INTERNET CONNECTION ON POKKEN, ROFL

This is one of the things that makes Pokken a nightmare to run. I alluded to this stuff in previous posts. It took the bracket runner, a TO, and one other tech guy 15 minutes to resolve one of those lost internet connection problems with the LAN when during my pool yesterday.

 

[Unlucky]

UD was commentating Pokken yesterday too, with Persia
