Rotisserie Poulet? WorstFrenchEver!
I hope a few American Top players will attend the World Game Cup. Dieminion hopefully, and maybe some others?

$5000 is just too little for the Beast.

no need for daigo to go for the a.e. tourney at least as the sponsors should get in top 3 anyway in tokido,mago, if alioune does'nt blow up sagats that is or luffy eating tokido like hes done in many casual matches for that matter!! wonder if we will see some shenanigans with character picks as mago has been playing alot of diff chars recently shame bullcat or infiltration aint going. so hype 3s 2 on 2 will be good also!!

I hate it when theres two major tournaments at the same weekend. 4 weeks out of the month and they chose the same weekend.

the level of of the brazilian in sf is so low its not even funny. only the players that placed above JS master were good no joke. players like breno fighters are so bad. random dps, random tatsu, bad excution, went for grab jump-in everytime. he was soo bad lol. he would even wake up with tatsu lmao.......

@#11 daigo got beat in wgc last time by ryan hart if im not wrong wen he was last there so dont think the competition aint strong dude, im from europe we are underestimated in sf community due to lack of media exposure/sponsorship/nationals daigo is the best i know that but dont mean it wont be good, u keeping diagos and kazu's nuts warm this winter?
