Came back from work and browsed Eventhubs for the French Cannes Winter Class brackets/results.

Seems like watching Poongko OCV entire teams in team tournament is always hype, and also a pleasant surprise to see BrTalrog from here make it into Melee top 16!

Sako also won Xrd too. Can't wait to check those vods out.

SoCal Regionals (SCR) 2015 is in trouble. Due to delays, the venue had to cancel and can't host the tournament. Valle & co are currently scrambling to find alternatives.

That sucks. Valle will find a way though. Just stick a few monitors and game systems in a hotel conference room and they're good to go.

how SCR hasn't just been canceled yet is mindblowing to me. I know players in the FGC always do everything late, but ~1 month or less from date / venue announcement to major tournament happening?? Dont even the big name sponsors require notice ahead of time to book flights?

They're probably trying to find alternate venues right now, and if they can't they have to figure out what to do. They intend to hold SCR 2015 no matter what, but the format is currently up for debate. Once the new format and venue is decided, people can figure out plane booking/cancellations/whatever they need.

Hypespotting 2015 will be attended by our very own Flicky, who intends to get his ass kicked (and maybe win one game).

Hypespotting is part of this year's Capcom Pro Tour, and winners get points towards the Pro Tour brackets and a chance to win the biggest prize pool in Street Fighter history this November. Featuring Mago, Tokido, Xian, Ryan Hart, Luffy, Problem X, and of course Flicky -- this one is going to be fun to watch!

I never seen west coast Xrd and I'm pretty excited to see today's top 8 at NCR. With Kazunoko and EX Pugera in the top 8 with Pain, Combofiend, and NerdJosh, this should be a fun event.

In general, does anyone know how good west coast is at Xrd/GG compared to the east coast? EC seems to have more players at least.

Idk the west coast compares with marlinpie / elvenshadow (midwest?) but we know kazunoko beat marlin at least

I love seeing combofiend in the mix there, especially funny since he can't even play in sf4 / marvel tourneys anymore lol

So, don't really follow UMvC3. Is Zero May Cry still considered the OP team, or has that passed?

And is JWong still the top player since EVO?

tbh there haven't been a whole lot of changes or major discoveries in the game, just lots of slight optimizations on the already top tier characters (clockwork's vergil is probably the best example). ZMC is still absolutely a top tier team, it's just gotten a bit harder to win with than it was a couple years ago because people know how to deal with vergil better, so you can't rely on cheesing out wins with XF vergil anymore.

A lot of the former top players looked shaky over the last couple months, but as the tournament season continues and gets more and more packed, we're seeing a return to form. The biggest thing that would stop some of the top players (Justin, Chris G, PR Rog) is the existence of CPT and possibly MKX. CPT makes SF4 significantly more rewarding for them to practice over marvel, and Chris G has always been big in the NRS game scene.

Thanks to CPT, I think this is the best time for either a new player (like we saw at FR and WB) to break out and start winning, or for an already top player that doesn't care about other games (fchamp, yipes, flocker maybe?) to really grind it out and become the best as others split their focus.

Apparently Combofiend can't compete in SF4/Mahvel per his Capcom agreement, but he made Top 8 in Xrd using Axl O_o

I have to watch the vods for this. Also says Kazunoko won using Sol, but I swore all the SF4 players who messed with Xrd used Eddie (I thought he won FR with Eddie too).
