I've been to arcades where they have a PS inside a cabinet machine and you can pay quarters and play games that aren't actually arcade versions

Yes, but no stream. Some results:

Nemo vs FChamp ft20 $1000
+ Show Spoiler +

Nemo wins 20-11, Champ played both teams

Nemo vs Chris G ft20 $500
+ Show Spoiler +

Nemo wins 20-10

+ Show Spoiler +

Nemo takes $1500 from two of the US's top players in about 90 minutes LOL. Apparently the sidebets were huge and the Americans lost a TON of cash. Several thousand changed hands. Also of note, Justin beat Nemo in a set 15-14 before he left Japan.

I just hope P4A makes it back, that game was so fun to watch.

P4A was amazing. Normally tournament games are just messy vortexes forever but most of Evo wasn't like that at all. So many mind-games with resets, baits and so on made it a blast to watch. It was just a shame that it was ultimately so free to Yume.

I thought it was a fun Evo this year. KoF was sick as always. Marvel I thought was a little boring. There wasn't really much hype there beyond Morrigan not winning for me. SFIV is always fun but it wasn't the best SFIV they've had. I loved watching a Makoto make it far but something was missing for me in the Top 8 there.

TTT2 was a fun finals but didn't watch much of the rest of them.

Does SBO still operate? Or it doesn't have the amount of hype it should deserve because it's a Japanese tournament?

SBO blows now (which sucks considering all the hype and prestige it generated years and years before).

All about other tournaments like Topanga League and shit over there now.

edit: Daaaaaaaaamn Nemo making dat money.

UMVC3 got peak around 146k for jwong hype-ness, Smash actually has a better slot, sunday noonish for most of the US and Evening for europe. SSF4 only got i think around 125k but it's time slot is shitty that's like monday morning europe and sunday time for people with early shifts to be asleep.

Over 225k viewers on the niconico stream with Japanese commentary during AE top 8

That AE top 8 showed me so much. It really showed how important defense is, and hopefully put a nail in the coffin of the idea that AE is just Vortex Fighter 4. The Cammy army (of which I'm a card-carrying member) was laid to waste, and we saw people repeatedly have success blocking her and Akuma's vortex. As someone who plays both sides of the issue (Maining a character with relatively shitty wakeup in Sakura, and running grimey shit on knockdown with Cammy) I've been saying that people need to learn how to block this shit. Seems people finally are! My defense vs Cammy is superb because I know her and her setups. Even if you don't play Cammy, lab work will set you free. Let that be a lesson!
