I can't say MBAA will be hype for me because I'll have almost no idea what's going on. When I can follow the action and analyze it myself I get a lot more emotional.

There was a great hotel-room casual match a couple days ago between Lord Knight (who's probably top-3 in the US, from what I've seen) vs the Japanese player Garu.

Fast forward to 1:13:35. The whole match is incredible.

Definitely wasn't expecting Wong to drop out here. I was going to go with a friend of mine but couldn't fit it into my schedule :<

This is the first SF tournament i've ever watched, it's a lot more fun than I expected. Makes me want to get into fighting games :o

Salty suite event run by Gootecks and Team Spooky.
High steaks tournament with some big names, and everyone wanting to to money match Gamerbee. Maybe a run back of last year Aturo Vs Daigo and SoCal vs East coast 5v5.

I thought a lot more people would know GamerBee by now considering he's had 30 recorded XBL matches against Daigo on Youtube. In any case, for him to come out to his first US tournament (EVO no less) in front of that crowd and beat out Justin is amazing.

Edit: Gamer Bee takes 100$ off of Arturo(Sabin). Looks like they are going to be running a high rollers tournament pretty soon $100 buy in.

Some names: ~16 man I think.
-Marn
-Tokido
-GamerBee
-DaggerG
-Arturo

... I'll update others as they come out.

Ohhh man, looks like I'm not gonna get much sleep tonight!

This is worse than when vegita X lost to a button mashing thawk T_T

speaking of vegita-x, me and ssj george bush played marvel today... i have been practicing rogue/storm/tron on my own. and i played him with it today and ssj's reaction was "holy shit this explains EVERYTHING weird that vegita-x does with gief when we play online". his reaction was decidedly that the team is some serious bullshit despite being "low tier" (quotes because it has storm and tron).

I can try to explain some stuff about Melty later: currently watching the Salty Suite Stream (which has over 3500 viewers right now: that's more than most tournaments, lol). I've only recently started getting into the game and the community, so my opinion doesn't mean much.

But I'd guess top 3 will be:
1. Garu
2. LordKnight
3. Brandino/Kusanagi/Xie

All of the top-8 players that I've seen play look scary to face, but Garu and Lord Knight look the scariest and the highest-level. E.g. Garu was able to catch a lot of the other players with shields (basically parries), but LK was always conscious to avoid being predictable. I don't think he got shielded once in that casual match. They also main top-tier characters, so that helps.

3rd place is hard to predict. Brandino and Kusanagi seem like favourites, being in winners, but I've seen some really good play from Xie in the past, too.
