Faith? In the American FGC?

EL OH EL.

If y'all don't believe who will tho

 

[Professor Beef]

Justin might get Top 8 in SFV. But winning the damn thing? My money says no.

 

[Numb]

5000 people
That alot of people anything can happen.

Spoiler

infil and tokido tho

Justin looks great when he's at small ranking events beating up his friends. Not so much when he's against international competition.

I think Justin is the player that's the most likely to make top 8. But who knows what happens after that.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

A new episode of Back In The Saddle, I finally get silver rank :'(

 

[NEO0MJ]

I wonder what are the odds of any top players not making it out of pools. With the vast amount of players there has to be someone with their number that they weren't expecting.

In a tournament of 5000 people there are absolutely going to be some upsets.

 

[CO_Andy]

We've had a new EVO SF champion every year. It just might be America's time.

if you believe in unicorns

Let's go Floe

 

[call_kotaku]

If an European can win EVO by playing a rare character and getting a bunch of super fortunate matchups in top 8, then there's no reason an American can't do it too

It's like the MvC4 of tournament results. As long as it's possible then it's inevitable.

 

[Line_HTX]

All the people that suck started posting more

I try not to suck, thank you. And more people posting here is better.

Ask Akuma

He never looked happier

Would you Isshin Sengeki in that outfit?

This card isn't too bad.

In the long run, yes an American would probably win SF due to a combination of skill and luck. The problem is that the long run is longer than all of us and none of us (or Evo or Capcom or the solar system) will last long enough for that to happen.

Except Sagat, what were the super fortunate matchups you talk of?

She got all the best cards:

 

[enzo_gt]

I haven't watched [SFV] tournaments regularly in so long, I'm so out of the loop with who is good and who isn't. So I'm just going to go ahead and say Viscant will win SFV at EVO 2016.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'll be happy if EVO is an all blonde Top 8 with ZERO Kens.

 

[Perro]

Top 8 gonna be all Japan and Infiltration.
GF gonna be Tokido v Infiltration.

Spoiler

Infiltration wins

 

[Immortal Technique]

I predict Infiltration to win over... Fuudo!

I think the numbers catch up to Tokido and he gets taken out before GF. He's played amazing this year but has to had to squeeze out some close matches and make some runs in losers to make these grand finals at times. Whereas Infiltration it seems never goes to losers and hardly breaks a sweat on his way to GF. Like at CEO he beats Momochi and GO1 totally free in semis. It's pretty much been like that throughout the tour. That's a guy ready to get through 5,000 players.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Marn Justin gf

book it

Or how about Infiltration and Gamerbee in Grand Finals? The drama could possibly top last year's, lol

 

[Warxard]

Mai's tits aren't even that big

I always knew you were fake Shin smh

should've put Blue Mary in DOA smh

 

[QisTopTier]

The messed up think is May is of age. >_>

She's 22 I believe

Of the 6 premiere tournies so far, the winners have been Infiltration, Infiltration, Momochi, Phenom, Tokido, and Xaio Hai.

Justin has won most American CPT events and is pretty much America's top player (though he struggled in top 32 at CEO).

Just a few other really good notables are Xian, Haitani, Fuudo, Mago, Go1, Nuckledu, and FlashMetroid. Just a few I felt like mentioning but there's obviously a lot of killers.

As for the players who are struggling, most notably Snake Eyes who's been going through a character crisis and is struggling to even make it past Top 32, and Poongko, tho admittedly he's been getting significantly better after knocking out Bonchan and Haitani and barely missing Top 8 at G-league.

Oh and America is still free to Asia.

 

[ShinMaruku]

She's 22 I believe

That would fit with the time line. So yeah all them girls are of age. :E

 

[Doomshine]

If America loses KI, it's all over.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Marn Justin gf

Which one makes it in winners?

Same here. Just hoping for a

Spoiler

Ryu,, Ken, Gief or Balrog

player to win

 

[QisTopTier]

PRrog is gonna get top 8

 

[CO_Andy]

I'm going to be mildly disappointed if the grand finals is Taquito vs Infil.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

well it's going to be infil vs someone

 

[Sinatar]

Grand finals will include 2 of these 3 people: Tokido, Infiltration, Momochi.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";209871355]Which one makes it in winners?[/QUOTE]

Marn

 

[Lulubop]

Speaking of Justin making top 8, r/kappa is on some conspiracy theory shit because his road seems much easier than top Asian players

 

[Owensboro]

PRrog is gonna get top 8

We can only hope. And then a million posts of "He's not even from the USA!"

I'm going to be mildly disappointed if the grand finals is Taquito vs Infil.

That would definitely be anti-climactic. I'm hoping for a wild card that no one is expecting.

@Kadey, I dunno if it's okay to plug my stuff but you could def put it under "GG notables" if people wanted to know more about the Japanese coming. I'll also be at home working on the Redbull site with info I get from the Evo floor. I'll try to post stuff in the Evo thread as I get it.

More like a million posts 'GO USA' and then he is the first to be knocked out.

Nice write-up! I'm not particularly familiar with all the big-name Japanese players in Xrd and haven't been keeping up with which players were showing up at Evo, so this was a good read to get up to speed.

Any notable Japanese players showing up for games other than this and SFV?

Excellent write up. Guilty Gear is gonna be so good to watch this year, especially Top 8.

There's some for Tekken. Nobi, Yuu, Pekos, Kurokuro, Shudy..

No problem. Any EVO related info can be added.

Thread will be up as soon as it hits Thursday here. Meaning T minus 8 hours or so.

Who is the best Elphelt and Jack-O player in this field to look out for?

Midnight ET?

 

[Doomshine]

There's around 18 Japanese and 11 Korean players coming for Tekken.

And all of them in top 32 probably

Fumo is the Elphelt. Jack-O is probably PurePure. PurePure isn't demi-god status but hes solid.

I mostly meant for western favored games but that's still helpful.

I read that as Marn's tits aren't that big. I need sleep.

Never would have imagined you were into that. Huh.

There's around 18 Japanese and 11 Korean players coming for Tekken.

I'm surprised about the numbers. Would have expected the opposite.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

There's around 18 Japanese and 11 Korean players coming for Tekken.

Yeah, we should get some spectacular matches in the later part of the tourney. Very much looking forward to it.

(Also new character reveal pls)

 

[Sayad]

In everything but tournament attendance yes.

What about online active user base?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Damn. Y'all don't even want to see this suite we got at the Westgate. Slipped them a $50 and they gave us a house.
