Thought it would be best to have a thread for the event itself to discuss all the hype of the weekend.

When I get home, I'll update with the stream schedule.

Anyone know how you can watch the Twitch stream archive(s) from last night ?

Doctor DooM

Yeah I basically missed everything so far. Gutted, but had to be done.

Why does the Madcatz advert for their fight sticks show Luffy ?, he uses an old digital PSone pad, and its not like using a TE did anyone any favours against him last year.

Madcatz can advertise what they like, they sponsor half the scene

Gutted for Gamerbee, last set was so hype till that stick malfunction, such an anti climatic way to finish :-(

Macal

This.

Macal

And this as well.

Misty Chaos

Ah man, that top 8 for Street Fighter was all kinds of intense ( not to mention ridiculously long - It went on longer than Marvel did! )

That was heartbreaking for Gamerbee though, at least he's got a place in the Capcom Cup to look forward to out of it.

Ramza

Glad Momochi won. He's been the hardest working and most improved player since Capcom Cup. He choked on the second last game, did cr mk fb and had meter to kill but didn't FADC. Could tell the nerves got him.

Stick malfunction was lame. Momochi had the momentum going into that round so it definitely hurt him more. Glad he won anyways. MCZ need to jump on this opportunity to promote for their sticks

Oh no, Fergus will displeased about of one his waifus being taken.

I hear Momochi has got his eyes on Asuka....

As expected, GGXrd was mega-hype. Everyone's talking about Woshige's early pop-off, but the matches themselves were excellent as well.

As for USF4... the losers' final has to be up there with the most insane matches of any game in the history of Evo. I'd say Capcom are wishing they came up with a new move for Elena's U2 instead of Healing after that, although Infiltration's switch to Juri did seem to put the brakes on Gamerbee's strategy somewhat.

After that grueling match, I think most of us expected Gamerbee to put up no resistance against Momochi... then he only goes and resets the bracket. That made what eventually happened all the more anti-climactic, but I'd say that after a slow start this top 8 turned out fantastic.

J0hnick

I was in tears laughing at this :P

Can you say "blowing up"?

Nearly vomitted watching all those Ultra 2 heals. Not blaming Gamerbee though he was merely taking advantage of the tools on offer. Doubt there will be another balance update for USF4 so we are probably stuck with it

Only just got through watching top eight now.

Definitely the best top eight at Evo for SFIV yet.

AiAi vs Nemo was ludicrous, as was Infiltration vs Momochi, Infilitration vs Gamerbee and Momochi vs Gamerbee.

Gamerbee was too nice to Momochi in that situation. He should have gotten the slight life lead like he did and then sat in the opposite corner doing HK Jag Kicks until he had full meter going into the last round.

The character variety throughout the last few rounds of the tournament was nice to see too.

Also M.O.D.O.K. in top eight. YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way that would have been allowed. He chose to not give Momochi any meter by letting the clock run down, so it would be an insane double standard to let himself build full meter going into deciding final round of the whole tournament. Also note that Bruce had no momentum going into that round so the stick break situation, albeit a crap thing to happen, was definitely a lot worse for Momochi.

Momochi lost any right to an opinion when he "caused" a pause though, right? Gamerbee was free to take the round as he wished.
