Ultra Street Fighter IV

[Nate Dogg III]

Set a 2.45am alarm to watch people punch each other in a videogame. I am 36 years old.

[Nate Dogg III]

Oh man, 3 out of 5 all the way through. Excellent.

[Lyrical Donut]

Ah. I thought I'd woken up to Grand Finals then, heh.

Luffy just took Momochi out in pretty convincing fashion. Dang.

[Lyrical Donut]

Blimey, Sako combos on big fat Rufus.

edit - aww

[angel]

Slept through marvel, watched all of sf so far. Good matches. Final now

[Lyrical Donut]

Damn, Luffy is unstoppable

[Lyrical Donut]

Oh, maybe not. These rounds, though. Erp.

[angel]

What a final brilliant

[sith]

Great final

[Nate Dogg III]

OMG. Best top 8 in years.

[Thurrabred]

That was the greatest SF4 Evo Grand Final performance to date for me.

Edit: And that's my annual post in this thread, as you were.

[angel]

Winner used

a ps1 original pad

[Wintermute]

I woke up from a dream where I was house-hunting in Thailand with Double O just in time to catch most of the final. Amazing.

[Thurrabred]

Ok so I lied about my annual post.

Below was the champion's path to victory:

W - CafeID|Such (USA)
W - TBG|Kid Kamikaze (USA)

W - Bonchan (JPN)

Easy Bracket pffft

[Nate Dogg III]

So

he beat three of the five gods NO HE DIDN'T NATHAN YOU WANG and eight Japanese players in total. His only loss against last year's champ.

First Rose, first European - is he the first pad winner too? Feels like he is.

Jason must have been delighted with that grand finals. He'd be a winner whatever the result.

I can't believe I have to go to work now.

[Thurrabred]

Isn't Tokido the only God in that list? I thought it was him Daigo Nuki Haitani and Sako.

Regardless, a ridiculous bodycount, he ran the bloody kumite. I think you're right, first pad champ too.

[Nate Dogg III]

Oh yeah you're right.

Mago has god in his XBL gamertag and I just figured Tokido was one. In my defense I am very tired.

[angel]

The smash players i briefly saw were total hipsters

[Spuck]

Blazblue was beyond incredible. BIRTH OF A GOD

Only caught the SF4 grand finals, now I need to go back and catch up the rest of Top 8. Character specialisation > all.

And new Tekken? Hnngh. Always been my favourite fighting game franchise, and so, so glad its getting another one. They just need to not drop the ball, make it a bit more accessible and put in a GOOD tutorial.

Am I thick or does the Twitch app not support archives?

[Nate Dogg III]

You may be thick but no, it doesn't, annoyingly. If previous years are any guide there'll be plenty of stream rips on YouTube soon enough.

[df0]

Thanks Nate "Rude "Dogg III.

I eagerly await you fine gentlemen posting YouTube links to Day 2 and 3

[Singho]

Avoided the usual spots to not ruin top 8 for myself, but then some prick posted an article with the winner on it on facebook!

Talkin about vidyagame fighting on fb!? What is this. Is this hobby acceptable now that you can let rl people know you would rather watch other people hit buttons from the other side of the world in Sin City via a dedicated game streaming service?

Hnghhhhhhhh.

Anyway, can some kind soul link all the finals in a spoiler free post so I can atleast check that out.

I've also bought Ultra in the past week or so. Shows how much ive been up to date...was really lookin forward to Dhalsim double hit mk...but it's gone!

Then I thought I was making good progress with my Hakan and Goeman oils up his Hakan and beats me.

Lobby action today please. I'm thinkin of switchin to a new main...where the character can do some damage of a fadc or rfadc. Saw some technology from Lyrical the other day using Mak n Duds. Wtf...50% damage combos. Should be illegal! (Untill i get the hanf of it)

Street Fighta IV son.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I woke up this morning and checked the results. I genuinely couldn't believe my eyes, what a massive upset in the biggest tournament of the year! Well done to Justin for winning Marvel!

[Spuck]

Might wanna spoiler that

[Stoikovich]

Ultra top 8 re-stream

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Does anyone still care enough about marvel to warrant spoilers for it? Genuine question.

[angel]

Well if they did, theyre not your friend right now, why not do the right thing

[ThePixelbarks]

Mahvel:

Jesus Christ, F champ really went on to put his name in stone as the user of the most scummy tactics. 50 secs on the clock? Got a slight lead? I know how the rest of this match is going to play out.

Do these not work for you, or are you on a mobile device
