"12 p.m. - SSF4 Teams start to top 4, then singles up to top 8.
12 a.m. - Doors close."
Does that mean we'll get to see 12 hours of SSFIV on the stream, or am I mistaken?
How does Mike Ross or any other of them have the money to travel and stuff??? Do they work?? Spoiled by parents?? Do fans really give them money via internet funds??? I really wanna know.
I wonder if any canadians will make top 8, unless you count air who i'd consider japanese. Daigo, mago, mike ross, gootecks i guess......does anyone know who else is going? Perhaps some beastly canadians will make a name for themselves this weekend.
Gootecks plays alot of games for money while at tourney's He's like a pool shark for street fighter.
I just read that justin wong will be there, but haven't heard anything about marn.
Also Gootecks and mike ross make money from machinima, so if u guys view the vids, they make money from advertisements..
The canadians are not getting hype :( hopefully they'll have a few beers in them during top 8
If Mago gets beat this comment section will be full of excuses like if it was FT10 instead of giving the player credit anyways wow thought Air would do better against Daigo.
It's been lagging quite a bit on my lap also better hope someone uses a dhalsim soon lol
Ya I figured a CANADA cup would be in montreal,vacouver, or toronto.
I really thought that Air would be doing better I know the tourney hasn't started yet but still
Lol in the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE lol.....I don't think any major cities are within driving distance of it
Sadly no one made it there because Calgary boring as hell and the center of Canada is cold as sh*t. They should have done this in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. There would have been way more people and way better players.
The Bison player is horrible.
@ Mustain21
Im from Toronto, i know where Calgary is lol... It's called being sarcastic. I think there's much better players in Montreal and Toronto than in Calgary. Besides Toronto and Montreal are known for SF, you'd figure Canada Cup would go there before somewhere like Calgary.
canada is trash... these fools aint even that good online... how did they get this big of a tournament?
Is obvious that Justin, Mago, Daigo are above their level but do not insult the players just because there are not at the same level. They need people from all the levels and parts of the world if they want the fighting game community to grow and get better.
JS Master is probably the only one that could make top 8 if Air doesn't get his act together I'm surprised doesn't he write guides on character match-ups for Ryu?
Air's performance against Justin was a bit disappointing.
What's the score thus far? Is JSMaster the only one to get a round on anyone yet?
It's because of Balrog. I'm not trolling! Balrog needs a curb, admit it. He's a simple overpowered character. Somethings gotta give. Either make one thing less effective or make something a little harder to time, cause right now he's easier to play than Ryu
See? T Hawk? Now that's the stuff. Could be overpowered character with just enough balance tweaks to make him deadly in a skilled players hands.
That's how you do it.
Daigo, Mago, and Air.
Ryu sandwich with a side of Fei.

Wow Mike Ross asks him if Honda beats Fei and Mago said yes but against Mike Ross' Honda he will win LOL. Mike Ross on blast!
^ agreed.
Rooting for all Cammy players since there is and probably never will be a Guy player live on tournament -_-
"Am I the only one who is not so sure that mago is going to win this easy against Justin & Mike Ross? Mago is a beast, but I don't know how his Fei Long does ageinst excellent Rufus and Honda players like them. "
Mago will not hesitate to counterpick.
Hmm these games are rather dull, watching UFC 122 germany right now.
For some of the Canada doubters JS master isn't some new player who pulled some good matches. He has been winning Canadian tournaments for quite some time. Placed very high at season's beatings which was just a little while ago and the Canadian team beat gamerbee (in his respective team) in the teams tournament. They may not be known for a lot of good players but they certainly can beat good players and make it far in a tournament.
There's better comp on SRK Live and peaceful jay's stream.
Teapo, unless you make top 8 you get no recognition, this j.s. master guy didn't make top 8.
I don't think this tourny reflects canadas skill level, it's out there in the middle of nowhere, and isn't close to any major cities.
I appreciate team spookys hard work, good stuff guys. These calgary guys are just not hype, or at a competitive level.
I'm telling you right now, come to Hawaii.
These players are doing insanely amateur things and seclusion is not excuse. In Hawaii we have around if not more than 50 competitive-level players across three islands. We have three different gaming organizations two streams going every month and a weekly stream. Our players fly out to all the tournaments and consistently place top 50 at worst. And we have a F)_#*U*I! ocean between us and any major tournament and we still make it out.
Put up a tournament with pros of this caliber and watch AT LEAST 300 players show up. We're just as secluded as Canada but we're like Goku in the hyperbolic chamber. How do we get this started?
Lol@gootecks saying he was too out of practice for SCR, but participates in canada cup a week later. Love his cross counter vids on utube tho.
Also, good job by Team Spooky and the other pros. They really took a gamble on this one and I commend their bravery and competitive spirit.
If Japan can roll America and we keep going, then America can roll Canada and the same should be true. It doesn't mean they don't deserve to have a tournament, it just upsets me that they keep using the "secluded" excuse on the stream when they are a whole damn country and we in Hawaii have done even better with far less but we're so secluded an actual tournament with pros is mostly impossible.
@#106
