Well Momochi won last year with Ken too.
Kaz gets his offensive gameplay from GG, right? I like that it has carried over with a character who fits him. Over time, I've grown to dislike (a little) the the slower pace of SF4 compared to other FGs, including melee. I feel you have to be more daring, reactive, and understand risk\reward better in those games. Oh well!
How are they going to do that if they don't have money to begin with

End of an era.
Haven't played SF4 since Super but I have a great admiration for the game. It's very possible I wouldn't be where I am today if SF4 hadn't blown up the FGC.

I do love that a character specialist won again.
Elena basically a non factor as well.

Went into Yung Art mode.What tournament did Art do really well at, Final Round? Anyway he accounted for his good performance by saying it was due to UNIELmaybe playing more games are beneficial heh.

SF4 first game i played on last gen. Good times offline. Least fav SF but glad what it did for the FGC scene.
Can't say i'll miss it but enjoyed the streams and tournys throughout the years.
Bring SFV hype now.

Yeah, I think his tendency on offense comes from Guilty Gear.
Still would have liked literally any other player in top 8 to win it, but it's impossible to deny Kaz's pretty much complete domination. Also super crazy he's not sponsored still, although that may take care of itself now lol. I wonder if Capcom Cup 2016 being SFV bodes poorly for USFIV showing up at Evo or not.
Either way gotta pour one out here for SFIV, had a pretty great run. Still remember the EGM leak (remember EGM? Remember print magazines?) with the first screenshots that looked like booty. Picked up every iteration day one and was terrible and stuck with them to various degrees (have barely touched Ultra) but always enjoyed it. Didn't really start stream monstering until early 2011 when someone on GAF in the vanilla Marvel 3 thread linked to an episode of Marvelous Adventures which kinda got me more into the scene (I specifically remember thinking if even Gootecks could win matches of Marvel online I could too lol), then I started checking out their other videos which lead me to whatever iteration/equivalent of FGW we had at the time here. And I stand here before you probably no better at any fighting games than I was 5 years ago, but it's still been a good time.

Anyways, I don't really see SF4 going anywhere soon unless the Capcom Pro Tour cockblocks it. The way Ono phrased things it sounds like only SFV will be getting the Pro Tour treatment next year, so it'll be up to the TOs whether SFIV continues to live a little longer.
And if enough people still want to keep playing it of course.

SF4 won't be at next year's Capcom Cup and it's looking more and more likely that it won't be at EVO either. TOs will probably still run it for a year but soon players will start focusing 100% on SFV and won't want to play SF4 because it might mess up their SFV plays.
Unless you are Melee (a game which defies most logic), once you are off EVO you are pretty much in dead game status.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
So I guess it's safe to assume nothing of significance will be coming for the singleplayer side of SF5.
Not that I particularly care either way; just feel like if there was anything to show for it then we'd have seen a glimpse of it by now.

It's not Hot Ryu, but it's pretty damn good.
There are not enough /dead gifs I can post, motherfucking bravo to whoever is behind that account.
.....I'm gonna have to get this on PSN
All PL sees anymore is Ls
Ls directed at him everywhere or thinks they are lol
For some reason PL tried to start some shit today on Twitter with floe about how floe is only good as Justin's sparring partner and how he would body floe in any game ever. Floe linked to the youtube video of him beating PL in MK9 at the PDP nationals.

I wanted Daigo to win but big props to Kaz for taking it. I'm glad he was at least able to put up a great fight in GF even though he came up short.
As for SF4, I love the game despite its many flaws, but what game doesn't have its share of flaws. Going to be hard knowing that it won't have the main stage anymore and might be reduced to a side game even at majors but it was still a great time as a player and stream monster.

I honestly love the hair. But yeah my first thought was how it's hilarious Mika gets nerfed but this is okay apparently.
Why use capcom pro tour account to take an obvious jab at him?

Man, you already forgot SFxT.
Even better
Is that really the case if we've seen Nemo play SFIV since Vanilla arcade?
Please no 64 players for Capcom Cup. In fact it should be top 16 only with 3/5 all the way.
And like a dozen other games that have died since SF4's release.

Was anyone else just a little hopeful that, when Ono said he had one thing left, it was going to be Akuma? :-/
They need to lighten those lines around Hot Ryu's muscles. Looks weird.
I'm surprised we haven't seen any others.
Cammy is unbelievably cute.

According to bitter PSN preorderers during Beta 1, yes.

Nemo's been playing GG for ages, even before SF4.
I am totally fine with Top 32 like this year for Capcom Cup 2016.
I was never into that game tho
