[HardRojo]

When's SFV? Right now?

 

[DecoReturns]

Yes.

My boy Salem!

Gutted I missed it. But I knew he'll win a major someday. He's just too good of a player and has been getting better.

 

[Puruzi]

so was the monkey she kicked off the top of the stage

people should quit acting like some shit you can do in your underwear at home is the same as doing it to the best player to ever play the game when he has such a giant lead he can kill you in one hit and the stakes are the world championship and tens of thousands of dollars are on the line while you're smack dab in the middle of a goddamn stadium where every single person is watching you

you say Diddy is OP but the only Diddy doing well is Zero

there are tons of Bayos that upset really good players though, wonder why that is

it couldn't be that bayo is fucking busted, no way

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I wonder if they'll add Pokken to EVO Japan when the Switch version releases.

 

[Lulubop]

When's SFV? Right now?

20 min

 

[BlueMagic]

Has pretty much no Japanese scene anymore to my understanding

there's a decent scene but not comparable in any way to US/EU I guess

 

[crimzonflame]

For ArcSys games, lots.

So will we see tech that hasnt been seen before?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Chris Li is the man.

 

[Falchion]

I've never watched competitive Street Fighter but after that Smash U finals, I'm going to stick around and see what it's like.

 

[Mass Effect]

Will the real Slim Shady...

please stand up

 

[jett]

Is this guy one of the Cannon brothers?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Winners
Punk (Karin) vs Itazan (Gief)
Nuckle Du (Guile/Mika) vs Kazunoko (Cammy)

Losers
Moke (Rashid) vs MOV (ChunLi)
FChamp (Dhalsim) vs Tokido (Akuma)

Punk is known to bust out his Nash against Gief. I think he did it at either E3 or CEO against Snake (or maybe both)

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

Is this guy one of the Cannon brothers?

No

 

[enzo_gt]

They better have S-Kill on commentary for finals.

Bonus points for tears.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Man I really want Itazan to take it. Gief winning would be something else.

 

[LowParry]

I've never watched competitive Street Fighter but after that Smash U finals, I'm going to stick around and see what it's like.

Should be a good one. And check out the other games for top 8.

classy!

 

[HardRojo]

20 min

Oh, so what's the plan for those 20 mins? Pre-show on CapcomFighters I'm guessing? Or is /evo streaming Top 8?

 

[galvenize]

One game left BibleThump

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

nah that feels about right with Capcom's recent history.

Jedah, Gamora, Geese, Skullmania, Darun and Trunks were all cool. Let's hope Capcom doesn't drop the bomb

 

[Effect]

Can't believe Smash went down to a reset and down to a game 5. Well fought win Salem!!

 

[Renekton]

Jedah, Gamora, Geese, Skullmania, Darun and Trunks were all cool. Let's hope Capcom doesn't drop the bomb

Abigail 😗

 

[El Sloth]

No UNIST at Evo Japan is pretty disappointing.

 

[pooptest]

I've never watched competitive Street Fighter but after that Smash U finals, I'm going to stick around and see what it's like.

It's actually really fun to watch.

I still haven't decided if I like watching SF5 more or USF4 tournaments, though.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Not gonna lie, got a bit teary eyed when they thanked everyone. Got to stand up multiple times.

Ready to R I S E U P !

 

[Kadey]

Small break before the main course.

Will U.S finally win at EVO for SF or will Tokido or Itazan say nope. Any given Sunday. Forget what happened a year ago, months ago, yesterday. Now is the time.

 

[sixghost]

I hope Capcom has something more than just the new character. Even just confirming the rest of the S2 characters would be cool.

 

[SmackAttack]

I've never watched competitive Street Fighter but after that Smash U finals, I'm going to stick around and see what it's like.

I know most people prefer SF IV over V but competitive SF is a blast to watch. I'm terrible at the games but got into watching it with a friend and it's just so much fun. Should be a great night.

 

[enzo_gt]

Jedah, Gamora, Geese, Skullmania, Darun and Trunks were all cool. Let's hope Capcom doesn't drop the bomb

Jedah is Capcom too lol

 

[rec0ded1]

Was infiltration knocked out or stayed home?

 

[Zyrox]

Oh well what the hell I haven't watched SFV in a while and didn't plan on staying up but I might as well. Guile theme getting me pumped lol

 

[Xeteh]

Punk is known to bust out his Nash against Gief. I think he did it at either E3 or CEO against Snake (or maybe both)

Oh huh, didn't know that.

 

[Lulubop]

Abigail 😗

and sagat, believe

 

[Wallach]

you say Diddy is OP but the only Diddy doing well is Zero

there are tons of Bayos that upset really good players though, wonder why that is

it couldn't be that bayo is fucking busted, no way

not busted enough to be crying about it like you are, last I checked there were 8 characters in this top 8

 

[MrCarter]

Didn't know Arms was coming lol

Feels weird that last announcement for Evo is gonna be for a FF character must be don't know.

Why he's a new playable character in their roster who is also a Final Fight. Win win.

 

[sixteen-bit]

No UNIST at Evo Japan is pretty disappointing.

I feel like ARMS took Gundam's spot too

 

[Merchandise]

Was hoping for a Persona 5 fighting game announcement Kappa

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

This is the first time.

Okay. Whoever started EVO must be making bank now. Aside from all the people that come here, you now getting it on TV and another venue in Japan.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Can't believe Smash went down to a reset and down to a game 5. Well fought win Salem!!

as hype as a finals could be. it was even down to one stock.

 

[Will0827]

This cover though, i need an MP3 asap.

 

[JB2448]

They could totally announce Smash for Switch at Evo Japan, couldn't they?
Having both GDQ and Evo in January and July is too much hype back to back.

 

[Kadey]

Is this guy one of the Cannon brothers?

No It's Chris. He's the lesser known of the EVO Illuminati. Marky, Wiz, Seth, Cannon bros and him.

 

[phantasmic_glaive]

I better see some Sagat!!😡

 

[FSLink]

No UNIST at Evo Japan is pretty disappointing.

No Gundam Versus either?

 

[HardRojo]

Do I need to move over to CapcomFighters?

 

[Nabs]

Do we know how they're going to split the commentary up for SFV? Who gets to be on ESPN this year?

 

[Dubz]

Time for SFV hype!!!! Go Du!!!!

 

[Busaiku]

So will we see tech that hasnt been seen before?

If you don't follow the scene there, there are lots of characters that have proper representation, whereas no one in the US, and many of the players coming over don't play.

 

[Platy]

The smash grandfinals were INSANE holy shit !

Sad that the biggest announcement related to Nintendo was Arms in Evo japan... I seriously expected a smash 4 switch teaser
