Plus it's a nice touch that both Capcom and Namco Bandai sent a core dev for SF and Tekken to attend - the latter watched all the Tekken matches.
Of course I'm not talking about all of the sponsors. Much love to Mad Catz, Capcom, and Namco Bandai. YOU KNOW the ones I'm talking about. lol

What is the youtube channel for Evo?

It's honestly not level|up's fault, the internet at the venue was cutting out. Now, as far as being on stickam initially, I'm pretty sure that was G4's brilliant idea.

Back to Ski and Keits, yay.
Wait, did they cut the stream already?

Oh well, at the end of the day I'm still really happy with how Ricky played. He was fantastic, really showed the beauty of playing smart and blocking.
Such a good mixture of perfect offense and defense always keeping Daigo on edge and baiting him into uppercuts, I'm just sad he couldn't finish it.
Close matches the whole though, great final to the tournament =)
Also: for those that dont play fighters much but watched this tournament, if you'd like any explanation of the way things happened or why a player would make a seemingly odd choice in a specific situation etc, stop by our lovely fighting game thread! We need some new discussions over there :>

Think of him as the "big name" to G4 game fans, and he's essentially being used to further recognition of EVO to them. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if G4 has any screen personalities who are experts in fighting games. 
Sess had absolutely ZERO knowledge about the game. He actually thought that rounds were set points. Seth Killian's commentary energy literally dropped to nothing whenever Seth would say things that are totally ignorant of the game. That man's had no business doing commentary for the main event for SSFIV, and it's unfortunate that his commentary really killed Seth's hype.

Does FOX put Hugh Laurie in the commentating booth when they show NFL games?

S-kill's certainly the safest pick, incapable of offending anyone. :p Wish he'd just drop knowledge like everyone knows he can but he sticks to just explaining stuff for the casual viewer.

So god damn true. He's amazingly good. Can you really beat a: Developer, Producer, CR rep and high level player all in one? Pretty much commentary god.

Well he didnt want to confuse the G4 guy any more than he already was.

So did they give away the golden stick on the stream? Or did they forget too I may of missed the giveaway

they gave a gold TE away in a raffle to the crowd. it was incredibly akward just watching some hobo walk up to the stage, take the stick, and leave with no noise from the crowd.

Isn't Seth just a community guy for Capcom USA?

Correct, he's the NA community manager for Capcom. He is also a high-level player though and I don't know Capcom takes his feedback in for development. So while he isn't a producer level, I'd say he had influence in the development of SSF4.

His official title is community manager, but he has stated on multiple occasions that his duties include a bit of development. He's also an OG traveling arcade hustler. Only thing I'm not sure about is producer, but I remember hearing that somewhere. Could be wrong.
