It's time to mark your calendars, because there are some major tournaments on the horizon that are definitely going to be worth your time.
"A pay per view live stream will be available through Nico video in Japan, if you can manage to navigate your way through the menus and order this. It's about $18 USD each day to watch, or $30 for both days."
As a non-Japanese, I wouldn't pay that much to watch SBO, but I really hope American streams do something with the pay-per-view model for major events. It could go towards paying streamers (many of whom do great work for either nothing or a pittance) or even adding to the prize pools.
I could see myself paying $15 for a full pass to EVO plus a large match archive, or maybe $5 for a major regional.
Awesome tournaments. Will definitely pay for the stream. Yes! Tourneys without hd remix and bringing back the classic. Also xmen vs street fighter and mortal combat coming back ti life. That is sick. Too bad I can't enter. Plane ticket too much for me and can't fail school :(
Wooo xmen vs street fighter i didn't expect to see that. Damn capcom should put all the characters from children of the atom all the way to mvc1 in marvel 3. Those games are all classics
Everything here looks sweet, can't wait and hope I don't miss it.

DreamHack in Sweden running from November 26 - 27 2010, with about $7,000 USD up for grabs.
Welp looks like SSF4 is gonna die early considering everybody give mid/low tier a chance. I think the prize pot shouldn't be so high to where people care more about winning than having fun a seeing SSF4 mature like 3S and ST did. Hell even Mahvel was more dynamic...phucking sad I tell you.
I'll bring Guy and Cody to attention then since nobody else will lol.
ooooooooooo very excited for Seasons Beatings and SoCal Regionals.
