Just broke 3600 PP, new personal best! Top 500 in NA, for whatever those silly Steam leaderboards are worth. There are so many hacked accounts on there it's pretty sad. Only saw a handful of names I recognize though, maybe only 20 or 30 out of the whole top 1500 world? Either there are more hacked accounts than I realize or there are a lot of hard-fighting online warriors out there.

Also, I have no idea how some players are as high as they are (myself included). Half the games or more that I play are against people with 0-100 PP and the rest are against people with similar PP to myself. If that's the case with other people who create their own lobbies then it would take a lot of games to reach the 2500+ PP level.

Rankings are world wide per platform by the way, so you're top500 overall

I've been trying to get 4k PP and get the hell out of ranked, but I was stuck around 3k5 for a while so I stopped already.

Nah I'm like 1600 worldwide. I have to apply the NA filter because those are the players I'm actually playing against.

Updated the OP with pool information and added a lot of names to the notable entrants list. It may be possible to start getting hype. ♥

I was going for 4k pp too a couple of months ago but I lost my points when I formatted my computer. I had some problems with the steam cloud synchronization back when USFIV was released on PC so I turned it off and didn't turn it on again. So yeah...

I've been sticking to endless since then. It should be fairly easy to grind it back but fuck it.

Ibuki is so cheap but so much fun to watch. Such flashy combos. Been playing her a bit in the past couple weeks but I don't know the character specific stuff which is usually the sick tsumuji combos.

http://www.twitch.tv/capcomfighters just went live a tiny bit late! This is the Winner Stays On weekly, and this week is the tournament edition so it's a "very special episode". It's an 8-man online tournament featuring tons of good UK players.

I was in there yeah, but I'm not following him. =) I was just looking for some background noise while I worked, and a Gouken player happened to be streaming.

Texas Showdown 2015 starts in 21 hours! Friday starts pretty late and is almost all Marvel, and the USF4 portion begins on Saturday. OP has the schedule if you need it.

NuckleDu hype.

maybe we should start gathering clips of every time NuckleDu puts shades on a big tournament, since he is our guy I think it would be really cool to have on the OP

I could definitely do the video editing and rendering for that if I had access to the clips, but the actual legwork required to find every spot he puts on the shades in every tournament would be exhausting. Too much to sit through (unless you're motbob, in which case hello motbob, you are insane and I don't understand how you do what you do. Also we miss you in #tlponies).

In other news, someone compiled a pretty nice schedule for Texas Showdown in image format: Album link

If you missed Churning The Butter this week (and therefore this match), you need to click on this video.

El Cubano Loco vs HooDaMan putting on a show.

And here's a link to the YouTube playlist for the tournament. It was pretty damn solid.
