Awesome, can't wait for it to begin. I'm rooting for Daigo! But, I'll be happy if any Japanese player takes it. I think this will be the best tournament we've had in a long time. Hopefully the stream will be in HD...

Going to be crazy

diago gonna win if he beat justin

I'm very interessted in this new Fireball playstyle of Daigo what Fuudo was talking about. Maybe he really reached a new level with his Ryu.
none or less, this will be an awesome tournament, so i dont really care whos gonna win. i'm enyoing this hell of an tournament. so, good luck to all the warriors ^__^

When is the stream gonna come on? Thought it was meant to start 30 mins ago?

Btw, Aero Rockman can't make it too and kenpachi from Belgium will take his spot.

@ #5: Stream isn't due to start for about 30 minutes.

I am not a tournament player so all I care about are the two special announcements. I hope that I hear something about TxSF, CvS, or SFA3.

I hope it's sf5

Who's going to be commentating for the AE tournament?

If Dieminion gets out of the first round he's taking it.

Please get somebody that can actually PLAY SFxT to do the exhibition. I almost died of boredom when K-Brad and PR Balrog were playing. They had week 1 moves.

haha #10 I was wondering the same thing.

@11 Really, Dieminion? He has a great Guile, but it's still Guile. Has his past performance indicated at all that he can take down any of the other killers in the bracket?

I think it's a complete toss up, but if I had to say I think Infiltration has the best shot since his Akuma is so versatile against all the different matchups.

lol jump in > throw . Jump in > throw . Jump in > Srk x repeat.

I havn't played Super turbo and like any SF game I know theres way more depth to the actions but that was funny to see xD

leetss go mov jejeje

ST tournament is great so far. I predict that any 1 of those 3 players to win: Damdai, Afrolegends or John Choi.

@15

You've never seen a mix-up?!

St was awful to watch, why are people still playing it lol

Ultrachen lets GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
jwong/daigo/fuudo/infil will take ae i think. C'MONNNN Daigo !!

@19

Because it's the best game of all time?
You probably have never seen high level japanese play.

@19

Man you're dumb.

Not the biggest sf2 fan but it is a classic, and it certainly wasn't awful to watch.

Even though I'm not really a big fan of 3rd Strike, I would like to see my main character, Urien, to win this tournament. But, I think MOV will win this and Momochi to take 2nd place.

Can't watch because the advertisement won't finish loading!!!

HELL YEAH MESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I beat him in one round in LA lol

I just saw Jwong lose in 3S and my gf asked me:" Is that Marn??" Lol, Jwong gained weight :P

GL in SF4 Jwong, hope you're gonna win :D

PERFECT MESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aw

the tournament is running very fast. They should do 3/5 for all games.

THE FLOKE

I would like to see Mago, Fuudo, Momochi and Dieminion play well at SSF4 tournament. As for SFxT tournament, I would like to see Momochi, Tatsu and Jibbo to play well. Should be great.

MURDAAAA FACE!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Ultra David but snakeeyez isn't the 'best gief in the world'. You guys have to stop saying that about every US player you know lol

Alioune, yeah...

then he will say krone has the best viper in the world.

Alioune got two P off ricky. crazy.

Alioune played so nice

What's wrong with Wolfkrone? Refusing to play on training stage?! Really?!?!

mago counters everything he has. Wolfkrone wants to pick a stage that's harder for spacing and counter. In training stage, you can look at the blocks and spacing easier.

@42 not that it helped. Damn America looking mighty free in the 25th anniversary tournament. Love to see an Alioune vs Infiltration match! <3

@DenoK cuz he didn't wanna feel like a training bag to Mago Kappa

@44

LOL!

Daigo's Ryu is in another league. I don't think any Ryu can beat Dieminion this free.

Daigo's Ryu......there is no better

Damn I really wanted Dieminion to win against Daigo... although Daigo's one of my favorites. Hope Dieminion hops back out and wins the whole damn thing - rooting for you D!

Tokido murders EG

Watching Alioune right now, hope he wins against Fuudo. This tournament is awesome - amazing players and my favorite commentators because David and James know their stuff

Daigo is my waifu

Meaty dragon punch with no meter...OMG Daigo!

WTF they show every single game from HDR and 3S but they run games offstream from the MAIN game?

Nice job.

The US players getting perfected by everyone, who said USA is superior to Europe, what a joke

Justin Wong, Ricky Ortiz, and Vangief all in 13th place... Damn, the USA haters are probably having a ball right now. =P

Ok America offically on notice at SF 25th anniversary. Worse showing E-V-E-R.

Well, damn. I can finally cheer for the UK!

PROBLEM F**KIN X!!! So proud :'(

@56, it would different if American can send 1000 vs 10. 7 vs 9 is hard.

The Europeen players are just more skilled, it's not the same thing when you have 100 US vs 2 foreign players, hein...

Now Wolfkrone is gone.

Next up is Snake Eyez vs. Dieminion, so one of them is about to go home.

Damn EG all tied in 13th place? Maybe there really IS an EG curse. Kappa

R.I.P. Dieminion T_T smh...

There is still EG momochi.

^ Momochi is EG.

EG momochi is still in there.

....and hes gone

Facepalm Momochi. Why would you choose Cody vs Gief.

Not.any.more.

Sir Scoots is going to be giving the EG fighting game division an earful after today.

Why hold a effing 16 player tourny if you can't show every match live.

Effing fail capcom.

Daigo vs infiltration. So excited for that.

like someone already said, they should have expected for AE to take a lot of time, nobody needed to see all the HD Remix and 3S Matches...but AE, Damn thats stupid

Yo wheres the Euro players...

Out, like the US Players, Snake Eyez wont beat Fuudo.

This game is so damn slow, I can't wait for it to end so we can see the real games.

@75 Then you will be saddened when SFXT starts...

If infil beats Daigo he's taking the entire thing, calling it right now.

Really poor performance Amurica!

If the USA is free and makes top 8, then what is Europe?

Still butthurt your precious rufus twins got blown up?

Meh, i wanted to see a Tokido / Inf match.

Oh well, its SFxT time, so ALT-F4 for me.

Well if the top 3 SSFIV qualifiers all representing the past 4 evo champions doesnt cement EVO as THE premiere FG tournament of the world I dont know what does. Stats dont lie, and this 25th Anniversary tournament real brought in the cream of the crop.

Gamerbee, why? Why did you stick with Yun?

Snake Eyez tied for 5th, not bad. That's no doubt better than people expected a Zangief player to place in this tournament. Good stuff to him.

Now it's all down to three EVO champs - Daigo, Infiltration, and Fuudo. Can't wait!

@79

7 american players
2 european players
.....

73

Well at least they did better than the US players (sandbaging all the tournament what a shame)

@60 so when marn and justin went to europe and bodied everybody else it didnt mean anything? and what european has won a major in the US again? stay free. nice sh1t from problem x though. cheers mate as you peeons... i mean 'peans say.

and that is pretty cool that every SF4 evo winner is in top 3. LETS GO DAIGO!!!!!

@85

I do not recall there being any Europeans in top 8 my friend.

I'm curious to see if Daigo will choose Yun over Ryu for the Akuma match-up.

Infiltration has been dominating a lot of top-class pros, but when he met Kazunoko in the Canada Cup 2012, he got bodied hard.

Besides, this argument is pointless. We're all inferior the Japanese anyhow. We're just fighting for second or third depending if we count Korea in all of this. Seems the Western World can't do anything right these days,from Economics to Street Fighter.

Team EG is still in SFxT which they are very strong in.

#87

lol they have the sheer numbers to at least have one of them be in top 8, thats nothing to be proud of. US played piss poor and Europe played better and actually looked like they were not gonna lay down and take it up the key hole

#89 What? Japan has much worse off economy in comparison please don't talk out of your ass please

@89 i hope you're not trying to infer that the eastern part of the world has any good economic model. please no.

@93

I'm not but they are growing while we are shrinking, economically.

88

Well there is a lot of money in play, so if he have a hard time with Ryu he will go for Yun i'm sure, he has the second best Yun in the world (Kazunoko being the first).

I wouldn't call not making top 8 doing better.

I have a feeling infiltration will win. I do though think Daigo is a better player hands down. I think infiltration is getting "somewhat" by on Akumas outrageous tools. Plus its a bad mu for Ryu. Even if Daigo loses infiltration won't ever accomplish what Daigo has no one will he's a living legend. I know some young 8, and 9 yr olds who know who Daigo is.

Haunts should stream EVO this year!! Godlike work with SF25th anniversary.

@97 ummmm haunts has streamed evo with spooky for the last two years...

It really falls to the venue.

'murrica got turned inside out. All that chanting and all in vain.
