Oh man. The next tournament is gonna be KVO x TSB 2015. It's in Osaka, Japan, so their site and information is in moon speak. They're also pretty bad at releasing information in general in the FGC, so it's gonna be really hard finding information about this one.

I might not even have notable entrants or stream links until like... the day of the tournament.

Edit: Updated list, copy-pasta from OP:

Notable entrants for KVO:

Eita, a solid up-and-coming Akuma player
Haitani, a fan-favorite who wishes he could play Rufus, but everyone wants him to play Makoto
Itabashi Zangief, an amazing Japanese Zangief player who is a constant threat to Snake Eyez' throne
Kim1234, arguably the best current Bison (Dictator) player in Japan and maybe the world
Bonchan, perennial runner-up and best Sagat player in the world
KojiKOG (2), the unquestionably best and most epic T. Hawk in the world swims from Japan to scoop players
Pepeday, winner of (among other things) Canada Cup 2014, and best El Fuerte player on the planet
Gachi-Kun, the "other best Sagat player" in Japan next to Bonchan
Dogura, former #1 Bison (Dictator) in Japan, and now a mean Rolento player
Tokido, a godlike Akuma player, called "Murderface" for his on-stage presence
Kazunoko, top 10 player in the world and best Yun player on the planet
Misse, world class Makoto player who - unlike Haitani - actually likes playing Makoto
RF, super old school Sagat player who consistently almost has a career
Kindevu, epic tier whore who defies highlight videos, so click on this YouTube search instead
Nemo, the best (and most bullshit) Rolento player currently living

Challonge brackets are up
If you speak moon, or if you can google translate and puzzle through the player list, let me know of any entrants that I may have missed. Google translate may be underperforming and there may be players that should be added to the "notables" list that I either don't know much about, or even that they're there due to translation issues.
Edit: Thanks Excalibur and Raelcun for the added help. <3

This tournament is still weird. For a start, it's a one-day tournament, brackets only. According to the official information, it will be played on a PS3, and won't be played on the main stage at the tournament until the grand finals. Godsgarden seems set to stream all of it, though.

Updated the notable players list (see above or the OP). We've got some damn fine talent going to KVO. I'm actually starting to get excited for this weird 1-day tournament, and I don't really know who to call it for. Bonchan, Pepeday, Tokido, and Kazunoko can all take it.

Also, my poor thread has been sullied by a nuke. In its place, I will erect a monument to FChamp's scumbaggery.

Yooo, yoooooo Haitani! I haven't seen the man play in a while.

Both him and Misse playing will be a treat! I love watching Makoto

And now for something completely different.

KojiKOG reacting to LPN switching to Sagat.

Edit 3: Both events are over.

http://www.twitch.tv/torontotoptiers is running their local USF4 tournament thingy.

http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky is doing Next Level Battle Circuit. USF4 is included but they're airing MKX right now.
Brackets for USF4
Sanford, TS Sabin/Arturo Sanchez, and Shine are there.

Edit: Man, this happens with Spooky, new game comes out or there's something he personally wants to showcase and he just won't show USF4 at all.

Edit2: Top 6 of USF4 starting over at http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky

Edit3: It's over, Sanford vs Arturo in the finals and Sanford took it.

MKX looks like a pretty fun game but I seriously can't deal with the OTT gore. I guess I'm too old for this stuff lol

I think El Fuerte being annoying is part of his strategy to throw off the opponent.

It's like MvC2 Storm mashing fierce

I've come to the conclusion that if all of Dan's moves have built-in taunts/screams he'd be a way more effective character.

Updated the OP with information about weekly events! Stuff like Next Level Battle Circuit and Winner Stays On. I'll try to remember to reset the countdown timers every week -- remind me if I don't. ♥

Speaking of which, http://www.twitch.tv/showdowngg is live with Churning The Butter. Ricky Ortiz, Julio, El Cubano Loco, LPN, Nacer, Pavocado, and BJ Unchained among others are attending.

Edit: Event is over for now! Showdown.gg has really good production values, and Nacer is super entertaining/annoying on mic. Julio played really well.

Showdown.gg will air their tournament finals next week to decide who to sponsor for Evolution 2015. If you don't usually watch the weeklies, this one should be great as it has all of the qualified players competing for an Evo sponsorship.
