    I was at Subway during Marvel. Saw Kane crying a stream of tears yesterday.

    Didn't he had a bad rep with asking people let him crash in their houses for a long time?

    who can resist fighting game dramas?

    I finally tuned in to EVO to see some SF and just caught that Abel set. I have nearly no experience in fighting games and have very little idea what's going on but I'm already HYPE AS HELL. This stuff is crazy.

    Also decided to tune in because I've started playing Brawlhalla which has softened me up a lot on fighting games. Wonder if/when they'll be in EVO.

    Yeah, you caught the craziest match of the night yet.

    Super bummed Infiltration couldn't close it out because that would've been incredibly hype,

    Have to say, very disappointed in the 3rd party media content this year. Epic hype videos and amazing combo movies replaced by ads and trailers.

    #esports or whatever the kids say.

    They need a higher budget and higher standards. Everything in the stage looked very cheap.

    I detest hypemeisters as much as anyone.

    How is that possible? They don't cut them a check, but actually hand out cash?

    Sad situation.

    Also, the grand finals was ruined by the Razer stick malfunction. PR nightmare for that company should be incoming.

    They stole the guy's trophy and all the cash he'd made from a booth.

    Do we know what actually happened? Did Momochi's hand just slip, or did his stick mess up? I felt like they were careful to not show what stick he had been using before it happened.

    Really unfortunate ending to what had been the best SF top 8 I can remember seeing. Gamerbee vs Infiltration was physically exhausting to watch.

    Like many of the newer and changed SF characters, I saw shades of KOF. Strong Yamazaki, Iori, and Oswald in the specials, if not the character design. Not that it's a bad thing. King of Fighters has about 387 characters, so they've got things covered.

    In fact, Ken had KOF vibes as well, with all the running.

    I'm curious now about which of the SF4 characters will make the cut. With only 16 to start, and 4 of them being new characters, we've got only 5 slots left (!!!) for others. With a year to go before release, they're probably going to start teasing DLC characters long before the game is on the shelves.

    The stuff that was on the Numakie stream is on their Youtube. The Jyosua steam stuff isn't uploaded yet.

    Also, KoF had some really good matches, though the commentary was lacking.

    And the Catherine tournament was fucking legit.

    Those aren't PSN versions playable on a handheld. :(

    In other news, Gamerbee has an automatic pass to Capcom Cup. Does Momochi qualify as previous champion or points?

    He auto-qualifies as the reigning champion.

    Feeling nostalgic, and I managed to stumble upon one of my old image galleries from an NEC years back. It was the one where Daishi came with his translator, and after the demo of SC5 had been shut down for the day (the halls in which the machines were kept have to be closed after a certain time) he spent hours and hours chatting with the players, drinking, and answering questions on anything and everything. It was unprecedented, and it's one of the reasons I feel sad about how SC5 panned out, and how he took all the blame.

    nIgHbd9.jpg

    He even played SC5 against anyone who wanted, and was surprisingly not bad.

    The rest of the album here.

    He even dropped by our rooms (where everyone goes to keep playing) after they kicked us out of the main lobby. That was the last Soulcalibur 4 major (I think, or at least that I went to), before Soulcalibur 5 came out. Tons of fun.
