Canada Cup just ended. Will update again on Wed when Capcom Pro Tour Latin American Regional Finals happens.

Capcom Cup 32 spots:

Won Premier Tournament: (8 players)

Infiltration (Final Round, NCR, EVO) (1670 global points)
Tokido (CEO, SEAM) (1048 global points)
Nuckledu (Canada Cup) (869 global points)
Xiao Hai (G League, SCR) (804 global points)
Gamerbee (Japan Cup, EGX) (732 global points)
Daigo Umehara (EU CPT Regional Finals) (563 global points)
Phenom (Dreamhack Summer) (546 global points)
Momochi (Stunfest) (524 global points)

With Infiltration, Tokido, Xiao Hai and Gamerbee winning multiple premier tournaments, it opens up 5 more spots to the Global Rankings from the original 8. Also, Nuckledu is the first American to win a Capcom Pro Tour Premier tournament since 2014.

Qualification via Global Spot: (13 at the moment)

Justin Wong (984 global points)
Fuudo (804 global points)
MOV (600 global points)
Julio Fuentes (548 global points)
Xian (520 global points)
Haitani (492 global points)
Eita (482 global points)
Luffy (455 global points)
Mago (426 global points)
Go1 (414 global points)
FChamp (400 global points)
CCL (397 global points )
Chris T (384 global points)

Outside looking in on global points:
Mister Crimson (361 global points)
Kazunoko (349 global points)
Yukadon (346 global points)
KBrad (332 points)

With Nuckledu winning Canada Cup, the big winner is Chris T by doing absolutely nothing. He grabs the last open global spot due to Nuckledu now going via grabbing the Canada Cup Premier spot.

Participates qualify via global spots before Regional ranking spots:

Qualification via regions: (8 spots)

Asia: Kazunoko (247 Asia points), Sako (137 Asia points)

Outside looking in: Tse4444 (132 Asia points), Yukadon (90 Asia points)

No changes here, as Mago keeps his global spot.

Europe: Mister Crimson (321 Europe points), Problem X (218 Europe Points)

Latin America: Brolynho (305 LA points), Misterio (203 LA points)

Outside looking in: KBrad (196 LA points)

Misterio was able to get the 2 points he needed at TRETA to pass KBrad. He gets the 2nd spot, and KBrad needs to win the CPT LA Finals in order to qualify for Capcom Cup.

However, the TO of Treta says that Misterio has visa problems and may not be able to travel to Capcom Cup. If that is true, then KBrad gets the 2nd LA spot.

North America: Ricky Ortiz (247 NA points), XsK_Samurai (202 NA points).

Outside looking in: Chris T (190 NA points), John Takeuchi (144 NA points)

XsK_Samurai getting 2nd at The Fall Classic gives him enough points over Chris T and John Takeuchi, securing the second NA spot.

-----
That's 29 spots, which leave 3 left to be grabbed.

Spots that still need to be determined:

Regional Finals:

Capcom Pro Tour NA Regional Finals: Red Bull Battle Grounds at Seattle, Wash. (Nov. 04th-Nov. 06th)
Capcom Pro Tour Asia Regional Finals at Busan, South Korea (Nov. 17th-Nov. 19th)
Capcom Pro Tour LA Regional Finals, Sao Paulo, Brazil (Nov. 2nd)

Are the regionals auto qualifiers for the winner, or just for points?

Just noticed the LatAm finals are on a Wednesday? Seems really unusual to me

Regional finals are premier tournaments ($7,000 prize pot) but no points. So, the global spots via points are all settled unless somebody in the global spot wins one of the regional finals as well.

Yep. He's not my favorite player, but eh. If he doesn't level up, he's going 0-2. Dude can't even say he doesn't have home-field advantage for Capcom Cup, he goes to school at Long Beach State.

America upgraded from free status to semi-competitive status for Capcom Cup.

That's probably why nobody flew over to them. They would have to spend like a fucking week overseas.

If nobody shows up who wins?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

A little while back, I got bored and made this little MvC 1 diorama thing in Flash. Don't think anyone will care but I thought I might as well drop it in here.

Woah, there's a possibility Justin Wong may not go 0-2.

Wow, I haven't watched Max in a long time. I guess he has his viewers...

After party cut short


ran out of time

After party cut short


ran out of time

at least we got to watch smash for 8 hours

 

[NEO0MJ]

Isn't he a full time streamer now? Not much money to be made by catering to the FGC.

at least we got to watch smash for 8 hours

And we're all the better for it.

 

[Sayad]

His streams aren't any different when he's doing FGC stuff though.

 

[Kumubou]

Time to get hype for Injustice 2!!!

Spoiler

and Tekken 7 and probably every other big fighting game made going forward fuck fuck fuck

No, he doesn't stream as full time work. Unlike most popular streamers he actually has real work to fall back on.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I blame the lack of MVC3 update / MVC4.

 

[NEO0MJ]

I just meant to say that it makes sense to branch outside fighting games if you want more viewers.

Good to know. Smart one, that Max.

 

[pixelish]

anything noteworthy happened in the canada cup after hours stream like last year's dieminion x mago?

 

[CurlyW]

Just wanted to mention that SFV started on time at Combo Breaker this year because we made Smash play some of their Top 8 matches off stream to keep things on schedule.

I'm also assuming that you didn't give both Smash games 3/5 as well.

Actually, I don't remember. I guess we didn't. Finals were definitely Bo5 though.

I already am but geez its like a drought around anything involving that game. All news and new footage dried up ages ago.

• Wonder Woman/Blue Beetle-July 22nd
• Deadshot/Harley-August 17th

*News during september and october=Tumbleweeds*

I am quite excited for teching out of juggle states and dodge rolls in the game though. Loved the first game. Eager to tear into the sequel. Super optimistic about finally getting to play as The Ray since the character is getting his own animated series on CW, and is a frontliner for Justice League of America's new lineup. DC finally backing my boy. Them making him gay means my odds go up since NRS is all about diversity.

The Ray is my most hoped for unnannounced addition. Most hyped about currently revealed addition for me is Atrocitus because I can use Dex-starr.

Game looks great.

I was just confused and put off by him calling that one female character a "dank whore" over and over.

I think Kumu wasn't being serious.

 

[CO_Andy]

fighting games need cool unlockables like in Smash

 

[Lostconfused]

I think Kumu wasn't being serious.

Hype with exclamation points should have been a total giveaway. Kumu doesn't get hype for anything that doesn't have animu loli characters.

ancient but interesting (to me):
this video documents balance changes made from VF3 -> VF3tb

Basically why i play Overwatch. I want that Reaper or Roadhog halloween skin

Du actually won?

America the GOAT, idc idc

Kumu is a respectable member whose interests stretch beyond "animu loli" :T

Translation: Fighting games need something to exploit the gambler tendencies of gamers so companies can profit off of it.

 

[thehadou]

Melee & Wii-U had a dedicated stage at Combo Breaker (both years). Their tournaments, regardless of running on or off schedule, would not have impacted SFV's start time.

 

[mbpm1]

fighting games need cool unblockables like in Marvel

I agree

 

[biosnake20]

so the FGC won't let me be, or let me be me so let me see, they try to shut me down on CPT...

 

[CountBlack]

I was there last night and was quite surprised at how well James did it lol

 

[Malice215]

I didn't care about Overwatch until I saw that Witch Mercy skin. Now I understand.

Some fighting games still offer unlockables, but nowadays it's about DLC and microtransactions. Now Injustice 2 is really embracing the loot thing with its gear system. I games offered unlocks as incentives to keep casuals playing or to help ease them into the learning process instead of preying on people's gambling impulses.

Yesterday had a bunch of downtime plus two Smash games at 3/5 which delayed the start of SFV.

 

[Kadey]

Was there an after party stream?
