It's set up in a way that discourages international travel for the regional events.

Doubtful. If the point structure is the same, a strong international player can just place first at a tournament and probably qualify for the regional tournament.

 

[Sheroking]

Kind of.

It's like two point columns. One regional and one global. If you win 20 pts in NA and 10 in Latin America, you have 30 global points....but only 20 for NA and 10 for LA.

Yes.

Also, no more qualifying in a premier without qualifying. If you're second and the first place has previously qualified, the event falls to global points.

They traveled for the money more than anything else.

Prize structure is the same.

 

[Perro]

Yes, they can place first.

But if they're not going around the regional tour, they probably don't qualify any other way.

So Capcom is encouraging KBR lifestyle

 

[xCobalt]

Why did people think there wouldn't be a rematch button?

 

[Soulstar]

I always love watching combofiend play a fighting game. He always sounds like he is having fun.

Except these players can actually afford it.

Did Magus123 retire from fighting games?

It's set up in a way that discourages international travel for the regional events. You need to spike one if you're an outsider to get on a regional CPT.

I wouldn't put it that way, although it can work out that way. I think the focus is to get more players from different regions. Traveling to ranking events outside of your region can still be beneficial, it's just that you better win to make it count so you can have a spot in the regional qualifier in case you need it. Otherwise it was sort of a wasted trip and the only reason to keep going is if you need points for the Global leaderboard or you still haven't given up on trying to qualify for the regional qualifier. That's the pros and cons that people need to weigh if they decide to travel abroad for a ranking event.

Because I trusted Thomasaurus today. Never again.

 

[FadedRevolution]

So the poison effect lasts as long as F.A.N.G doesn't get hit?

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Shit this is hype lol

 

[Tripon]

Hey, he broke NDA to tell you he couldn't break NDA.

 

[Dark Ninja]

FANG's animations are so annoying

 

[Mizerman]

who they think they got, chelsea carter?

I understood that reference.

So the poison effect lasts as long as F.A.N.G doesn't get hit?

Seems like it.

 

[xCobalt]

Seems silly when there has been footage from last year (possibly a trade show or exhibition) that showed players immediately rematching.

LUPE

 

[CountBlack]

LUPE VS DAIGO IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING NEXT MONDAY OMFSAOFAFKSAF

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lupe v Daigo is gonna be amazing, lol.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

LP Fiasco is gonna retire Daigo. #Believe

 

[call_kotaku]

it would be super sad if Lupe was Daigo's last match as a madcatz sponsored player

 

[Quesa]

"Smile" as an outro song? CPT confirmed better taste in music than SFV

 

[Rocwell]

Daigo vs Lupe confirmed for next week. First to 10 followed by a freestyle rap battle.

Spoiler

Hopefully

 

[Rainy]

I just read the CPT article from red bull and im so confused....

 

[shaowebb]

50 million dollars!

I'm sorry, what? I just came in from working on stuff. What's this about 50 million dollars?

Na, they need to have guest battle-rapper Bo Dallas.

 

[MrDaravon]

Yeah I get it after the show and reading that but it's still poorly explained in both places. I'm sure someone will throw together an infographic quickly explaining it if anything.

Also Lupe vs Daigo happening next fucking week is out of goddamn nowhere

 

[StriKeVillain]

I still won't believe that Lupe vs Daigo is a real thing even after Lupe gets washed 10-0.
