Doesn't seem far off, none of the players can see their screens and some of the cabinets contain insects.

It's hard to see the screen because it's outdoor. And "some" is definitely an overstatement. Still, just because what you said is partly true, that doesn't mean what he said is completely true.

Actually, reading a lot of JP player tweets, they've pretty much been drinking alcohol. At the beginning, they complained to the staff about the conditions (according to Gamerbee), but nothing seems to have changed since then. I saw a few pics that Uryo posted of Haitani and Bamyu taking a nap on a towel in the grass after drinking, lol. Apparently, Haitani said "This is my Tougeki!" while napping in the sun due to being slightly drunk, haha. Also, Acqua posted that the waiting room for the SF4 players stunk of alcohol, hahaha. It's really hot over there as well and the seating area doesn't have any cover whatsoever according to Zerpin (US) who's there in person, so I'm not surprised the seats are so empty, but it's rather sad.

Yeah, the conditions are definitely bad, I doubt anyone would want to argue about that. And yes, certain players drank some alcohol but still, it's not "most top Japanese players". It's so annoying when people try to be sensationalistic, especially those like Zhi who even add stuff that isn't true.

It's odd how many issues crop up around SBO every time, and yet it's still held in such high esteem.

Even Japanese players nowdays consider EVO to be THE tournament now.

As far as Street Fighter is concerned Gootecks already broke the curse a few years back.
From the look of it it seems like we got knocked out on either the second or the third round, because we ain't in top 4. I kinda like how the team name is "Team West Coast" when no one on that team is even from the West Coast lol (I guess you can argue for Rog)
Yo damnnnnnn Hsien Chang OCV'ing lol.

The AE2012 team is PR Rog, Dieminion, and Latif. According to SRK, they finished out of the top 4, with Fuudo/Bonchan/Kazunoko winning it.

Since it's on console, it doesn't hold much worth anyway.

Yeah, EVO wasn't anything big either for the same reason right?
