there are 0 hype in austin and NYC qual.

Congrats to ShotosAllDay for taking second and to John Choi for keeping OG alive!
congrats choi for taking it convincingly. Looks like he is still in good shape as long as he can use his mas stick, lol.
and go norcal! what a strong showing in top 16 with choi, ultracombo, vestax and thrust! not to mention getting both 1st and 3rd.
it would be funny if both choi and ultracombo won a trip to SF. capcom can just call a taxi to pickup choi and ultra on the way up.
were you there muffy?
I had a good feeling shotosallday would place top4, and I’m glad to see him do it. That dude’s a bigger threat than most people give him credit for. Props to John Choi for showing LA why he’s considered one, if not the, best ST player in America at his prime, and he continues to be a standard for classic, fundamentally-rooted ST play.
I can confirm that Muffin-san, “The Undefeated King of Nakano Royale Random Select Tournaments” was there, and showing off how terrible his Ryu is, LOL.

I really wanted to go the 2nd day of the tournament but I had to work. If I made top 16 I definitely would have called it off though, lol. Anyway, here’s a picture of most of the So Cal ST crew!
Is anybody else having trouble watching the archived footage on twitch.tv/capcomfighter? It starts to play for a few seconds and then stops. Starts up again and plays 4 seconds, and then stops. Really frustrating.
EDIT: Has anyone gotten a refund for attending the tournament? My credit card got charged for the deposit and I’ve yet to see a refund. Who do I contact to find out?
It was great seeing everyone again! Thanks Bob and Muffin for letting my tardy-ass enter it. And GGs to the everyone I played.
Nice job staying low-key, Tai. You can’t stay in the background forever!
Yea, I came in on Friday, and all of my friends were headed to the tournament (got taken out by Floe twice :D). When are you gonna be in LA?
Super fun times in SoCal guys! Was good meeting new people and catching up with the others!
GGs all around, and “cheers” from NorCal crew!
The LA qual was a bloodbath, a mini tournament of legends !
So now we have
Afro Legends - TX (deejay, boxer)
Damdai - NY (o hawk, o ryu, o ken)
Laugh - Asia (dictator, o sagat, n ken)
Tokido - Brazil (claw)
John Choi - LA#1 (ryu, o sagat)
shotosallday - LA#2 (o ryu, ryu, gief)
Who else will take
Paris, France October 31, 2012
and
London, England December 01, 2012
?
Anyone going to these? wolmar / 41i45 etc?
Grand final will be at December 08, 2012.
Winner of the London tournament will have a short notice to get vacation days off.
If you think you’ll win, plan ahead
Agreed, it was awesome seeing everyone again, and meeting new faces. I sometimes forget how spread out SoCal is and the amount of effort it takes to meet up (and sometimes organize) an event. Makes me realize how awesome ST is, and the players that go with it. Glad it was a good turnout.
It’s pretty rare to take a picture with so many people in it and everyone in it is awesome. I’m really happy that I got involved with the ST community. It was great to see everyone and hang out again. Can’t wait till the next time.
Viva ST… Good to see everyone this weekend, Shoutouts to Muffin Man for making it back to the states in time for this… Now Quick!!! someone with PS skills punch me into this pic, i see room between shotos and ultra…
