Super Battle Opera (Tougeki) 2011 just concluded this morning. Team Evil Geniuses posted a recap and it mostly focuses on EG|Momochi. It also goes into some details from the finals. In the 32-man bracket, they were matched against Aqua and Slope. Bonchan faced Aqua’s Yang to kick off their tournament, but despite his best efforts, lost to an incessantly aggressive play from Aqua 0-2. Unfazed by his partner’s early dismantling, Momochi looked determined to take both of his opponents down.

huge hype over a stupid tournament that everyone wanted to be in? screw this tournament... evo and even random streams are ten times better.. someone needs to let sbo know they suck
I feel so bad for banana ken and hsien chang. To fly all the way to japan for a single elimination tourny and then find out that the spot they had earned wasn't really there is complete BS. SBO needs to get their stuff together and get on the same level as other events like GG and EVO.
Japan haven't quite caught up with America's streaming capabilities, not to mention America is way better in running tournaments
Appare ntly the news is new alts for the kung fu twins, and Ryu and Akuma ver. 2.0.
mike ross complaining about Viper being broken now?
blah blah blah blah,
If Americans hate single elimination this much. they should give up all their SBO spots next year. SBO is so random, Americans have to make it pass round 1 soon right?
yeah JP streams are better than US stream. lol. They are have higher picture quality and more stable.
lol #14, thats what I wanted to say but was too much effort :(
Mike Ross is actually pretty damn good, especially considering he doesn't tier whore and use twins or some other highly used character. And yes single eliminations is garbage. Nonetheless the Americans had a chance to make it but they all lost round one. If they had won and made it to top 4 we would have blew it into the Japs faces.
@16
There is no such thing as tier whore in competitive fighting games, these players play games for lots of money so why not pick the character that are most suitable for their play style? No one whould blame Mike Ross for picking another character if he did well, most will congradualate him, the thing is do you honestly think he will do better with any other characters?
@17
When player adaptability and other skills within a game are maxed out, you only have the data for specific characters to give you the edge you need within the fighting community.
If he so to say drop E.Honda and picks up Yun; chances are he would do significantly better due to the inferior moveset Honda had.
If you were to say that Mike Ross isn't playing Honda at his absolute best; then chances are he would do much better with say a higher performance character such as Yun.
Simple as that.
mike ross would be so free if he uses yun.
i really doubt that he can transfer honda skills to yun...that's why you mostly see mike ross using blanka as his alt.
@21 Mike's execution is very good actually. You don't know what your talking about at all. Jist stop.
Momochi failed again...
