By everyone you mean Sanford. His overhead is already getting indirectly nerfed through delayed wakeup, since the 11f delay will allow you to get up and punish the whiff if he tries to do it meaty with the traditional timing.

I guess it's cool that there's 16 spots again instead of 8, but the partnership with Twitch seems to have really biased them toward the US. Of the 7 guaranteed spots, 4 are in america, 1 in asia, 1 in europe, and 1 at evo. Getting 2nd at Evo also looks like it's basically a guaranteed spot due to how the points work.

It was really cool in previous years how Capcom Cup was really international with a Brazilian qualifier and a bunch of Asian qualifiers. Either that's not going to happen this year or there's going to be so many qualifiers that points are going to be meaningless.

Also separating out street fighter streaming to the CapcomFighters channel seems like a recipe for disaster. Wasn't it CEO last year where they tried to do that and it was basically a huge clusterfuck. If they actually spend money on getting enough people to run the stream and make it look good and hire commentators it could be great, but it seems dumb if every major is just going to have Spooky's stream and then a shittier stream with SF4.

It looks like 3 more tournaments need to be announced in the series, which may bring the international numbers up. Hopefully this is a sign that Capcom intends to support their games more in an attempt to broaden their audience.

This is my hope as well. Maybe they couldn't get concrete details about other international tournaments like Shadowloo Showdown, Canada Cup, and Treta Armageddon (the Brazilian tournament) so they left spots open for application. They got most-all of the big US tournaments already.

So I never been to a fighting game event before. I'll be in Atlanta this weekend for work and to see faimly, if I want to go to Final Round on Sunday what do I do? Just show up and pay a venue fee?

The website just mentions you have to register at the door on Friday but I'm not interested in playing in the turny because of work and only care about coming on Sunday because of previous scheduled poo poo

Money isn't a problem but I'll be in North ATL on Friday for work while the turny is in South ATL.

Yeah, usually you pay venue fee. If you're not registering to play then they ~should~ be ok with that.

Most majors nowadays have a Spectator fee which usually runs half or less of the cost of the actual Venue fee.

Is it a coincidence that Capcom hasn't had any character leaks since Seth Killian left? Can't believe they managed to keep the fifth character a secret until this weekend. :tinfoil:

Decapre is basically the first person people on the internet found to match the vague description Ono gave of the new character, so that's what they're all rolling with.

I swear we've known this for months and every time we discuss the subject it keeps surprising people :confused:

Yeah, it was pretty much confirmed (I think by Combofiend himself?) that the Cammy/Vega mix that people have alluded to every now and then is the fifth character. I mean if I'm wrong I'll be happy, for sure, but I don't think we're getting a good surprise.

On a personal level, I find Melee surprisingly hype, having been skeptical at first, so I'm glad it's getting a spot at Evo again. But that's going to be a messy derail so I'll leave it at my opinion.
