In case anyone hasn't read it yet, the pot for this years EVO SSF4 tourney is going to be at LEAST $20, 000. That shit is insane.

Not to mention the huge contingent of Japanese players that will be attending. Tokido,Dashio, Epsilon J, Momochi, Uryo, Kindevu, Gasshuku, Aru, MA@ERO, Kyabetsu are all confirmed. And Daigo as well of course. Its going to be really interesting to see the top 8-16 this year, since i imagine a hefty chunk will be from Japan.

But fuck, $20k. Im more hype for this now than i was before. And I was pretty fucking hype before.

But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.

xlan is going to be pretty noisy if they come through with the stream!
Any sufficiently godlike street fighter technique is indistinguishable from randomness

zos'la

it is quiet an amount considering previous wcg games such as dota\ cs was about 20k-35k shared btw team...

Its a pretty incredible milestone for fighting games actually.

Fuck, imagine the hype if its a USA vs Japan final. IMAGINE THE HYPE.

Japan > Usa in this version of SF.... but what I really want to see is how Justin W. go against the other Japanese players...

Wonder if Daigo will be able to take it over the rest of them.

Holy shit - I'm getting hype like you know who (hint: Mark Charteris) - Kyabetsu and Uryo are my two favourite Viper players - I want to see them fuck shit up!

Dashio's Viper is the shit, he is the first and only person I have seen capable of doing Seismo -> Feint -> Seismo -> Feint non stop rapidly, and we all know that shit is beast.

I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY MR ERU?

[NIUE] BIRRY WONG

Its simpler than you think, but actually applying it usefully in a match is something really impressive.

Thats the main thing i like from some of the japanese players. Innovative shit. Like that from dashio, or the run stop lk blockstring from TKD. What i like from the americans is the atmosphere and competitive attitude those cunts bring. I really hope USA do well this EVO. Hype that shit up.

I gotta say good luck to Justin, I hope me makes top 8. Justin vs Daigo final is looking pretty unlikely lol. More like Daigo vs Momochi.

I'm pretty hype, which means you all have to come to Xlan to watch this shit on the big stage. Only like 6 days left to pay.
