Ricky Ortiz (Rufus) of NorCal was just up! Took one round off Waida (Honda) but his Honda was too strong!

Monkeyto

Next American up is Fubarduck (Akuma) against R-Chan (Boxer). Fubarduck was DESTROYED.

Kirby

the guy doing the text didn't know who was playing and put.... "American vs waida"

Made me laugh :P

Creature

Good stuff thanks for the heads up.

Retr0gamer

Should be doing work here myself. Some excellent Honda players.

Kirby

Honda vs akuma was ridiculous. 5 hits and akuma is dead :eek:. dude does so much damage.

Kirby

Claw vs sagat. epic match. Vega rules

Creature

Holy **** now thats how you play Vega! :eek:

Retr0gamer

I'm impressed with that fuerto just there.

K.O.Kiki

Someone somewhere better be recording this

Monkeyto

"How do you spell MARN?"

Marn lost out. Saying that he still runs a decent Viper.

Kirby

Was TDK. He rwas at EVO too if i recall and showed some good skills too. very tricky.

Monkeyto

Man if there is anything hotter than a girl who can play Rufus like a legend then I just dont want to know!

Sagat06

A hot chick playing Blanka.... well **SWOON**

Retr0gamer

Most of them round of 16 matches were brilliant.The highlight definately being the last one,Itazan (Gief) v Tetsu (El F),I love watchin' a good El F.

K.O.Kiki

But he's a real Zangief killer, right?

Yeah,I'm definately no expert on that particular match up but I know it's heavily in El Fuertes favour.It was still quite funny,El F had a pixel of health left and did the flying throw thing( qcf+p then fierce,dunno what it's called) 4 times in a row to win.

EDIT:The El Fuerte was just annihilated by Daigo.

Dreddybajs

Really annoying matchup for Gief because he can't really do **** about the wakeup mixup, the huge health difference is the only thing that keeps him in the game really.

Retr0gamer

That was an excellent fuerto there.

chopperbyrne

Uryos Viper was awesome against Magos Sagat just there.

bush

How far along is this? Is it getting close to the end?

Retr0gamer

Think it's either quarters or smeis of each bracket.

Retr0gamer

The big twist of the turnament has just been revealed.

For those of you that can't read the japanese text, the final will not be played on shaq fu instead of street fighter 4.

Retr0gamer

Very close there, Daigo into the losers bracket.

Edit **** it's not over!

Edit: Out now.
