Just the Japanese National Champion.

Wait a sec. What time zone are these times for?

[shin. [OFWGKTA]]

It's in Las Vegas, so I'm assuming Pacific time zone.

Street fighter 4 bracket matches should be ont he live stream in 10 mintues. GET HYPE!!!!!

Crazy Seth vs Akuma match, crazy Sakura, Daigo chilling his way through the wins. Good show.

[TempesT]

Are you talking about the 5v5 Exhibition? Daigo wasn't in that.

I'm so pissed that Marn's Viper (the CLOCK RUNNING bullshit one) actually found out that his fatass needed to actually fight to beat people. Saber's Sakura had some crazy mixups and there was a nice Gen from Jibbo as well, cool to see console characters getting used in a tournament setting. Seth fights were fun to watch, even when he didn't win, and seeing Justin Wong taunt on a dizzy was funny as hell. He's such a dick, didn't know he was a chubs either. Dagger G(ranola) played a crazy Guile and had an awesome lockdown moment on Puerto Rican Balrog.

So many awesome moments; Cammy dive kick show off fail, hilarious commentating, some crazy black dude wearing a Power Glove at the end.

I watched the whole 5 hour exhibition and am probably gonna catch the SF4 finals tomorrow night, should be awesome.

5v5 for Sabre's Sakura, semi-finals for the others.

Only made better when it turned out a perfect, hah.

The stupid biased black guy at the end sounded like he was having sex with the people he was rooting for;

"cmon joe, cmon joe, aw yeah you do it like dat LOOK AT DA DAMAGE LOOK AT DA DAMAGE AND LOOK AT DA DAMAGE"

Ugh I wanted to shoot his eyeballs.

Triforce was annoying.  It was funny to see the chat comments come through hating on him.  Justin Wong is the only guy in SFIV left that's playing new characters... (btw Triforce is part of the East Coast team, so that's why he was biased)

Sirlin playing Fei Long was interesting to me.  Other than that, Remix is pretty boring.

I'm gonna catch SFIII and then pretty much everything after 2PST.  That falls on lunch on my timezone. :/

There's no rewind button, so was it the full taunt because it can be canceled halfway through?

[TempesT]

I realize he was from the East Coast, I was watching it with my boyfriend and he would point out stuff like that, I dunno why they let the retard on the mic in the first place though.

Justin Wong is the only guy in SFIV left that's playing new characters...

? Justin has been playing Rufus in SF4 for as long as I can remember

Anything other than 5 hours of SF4 would've been too much for my capacity x_x

[Messatsu]

Rufus / Abel are new to SF4, the rest of the guys left in the brackets are all playing characters from before SF4.

[TempesT]

Eh.. oh..

My posts are concerning the 5v5 regional exhibition. I didn't manage to catch the semis. I figured it was too late to talk about OLD NEWS MESSATSU WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

[Messatsu]

I didn't watch them either (took a nap, but ended up being full on sleep), but the brackets are still online.  I'm kinda surprised at how Mike Ross's Honda never tried to do his Ultra as an anti-air and I don't really remember him using it to burn through fireballs.

Too many slow fireballs makes it easy to see an ultra and just block it, I guess. Plus Honda is gross.

On the bright side there's only one potential Sagat IINM.  Lots of Akumas though, but that's more fun to watch when not too turtled up.

Edit: btw I didn't see a Ken even in the less serious matches.  Also no Claw, Fei Long, Dan or Abel.

[TempesT]

Fuck those herbs.

[Messatsu]

Edit: btw I didn't see a Ken even in the less serious matches.  Also no Claw, Fei Long, Dan or Abel.

Abel got picked at least by Wong.  Cant' really recall anyone else doing it.  Ken has less options than Ryu (Ultra isn't ranged), even hitting with Tatsu might not be safe (Ryu's at least knocks down), Ken has less useful normals.

[PotS]

Yeah anything Ken can do Ryu can do better (Ryu can do anything better than Ken, yes he can), except that kara throw.  I think Ed Ma used to use Ken until Akuma's shenanigans turned more appealing, then more people followed.

One Sagat in top 8, hm... don't know if it'll have any effect on the tiers or if American players are just bored as hell of him slash have him all figured out (so hard!).

[PotS]

The MvC2 finals are up next for all you mahvel babies.  They just showed a Majestros combo video with some lovely editing.

[Messatsu]

WTF is with Pringles and MVC2? ???

Everybody in the chat pretty much calls every black guy an annoying nigger... only triforce has that rightfully.
