Looks like there’s no serious comp at the venue. Can anyone confirm if it was held on laggy monitors or not?
An Elena player named Yip won Hong Kong preliminary qualifier. He’ll play at Taiwan qualifier.
Whole Asia only has one slot and has to be decided in Taiwan not Japan is ridiculous. Reason might me Capcom can’t sell OE in Japan haha.
Early reports saying it made it to a top 5 or 10 Downloads “Platinum Sellers” list in Japan really have said otherwise.
The SF2 HDRemix is the one not even sold in Japan, part of the Tournament series and might have been a part of no Japan Tournaments. That or the Cash prizes.
SF2 Forum says Aniken even likes the Remix changes game, in 2012.

FYI, Urien player is Akira Hattori, aka BOC, one of the best player in Australia!
It’s Japan’s gambling laws preventing them.
I’m sad Yuuki and Hispanicjap had to play each other, both good peoples. Grats to Wong.
James Chen says hi!
The way Yuuki handled Cole was impressive.
Yuuki raped Cole so hard
Cole was welcoming everybody to the Jungle.
can anyone who went to the event tell if the tv had lag compared to crts? i dont wanna practice blind for the qualifier in NY
Do you guys know who’s doing the commentary for this tournament? Also, anybody have footage of the texas qualifier?
videos please!
JC and UltraD were adding they’re very occasionally witty banter to the Austin event. Pretty decent roster of competitors though. Look for Yuuki handing out a few sweet smack downs. Dudes were missing things it seemed and I wonder how much lag there actually was with the scan lines and arcade monitor filters on. Obviously the “lagless” Asus monitors added a smidge too (less than 1 frame I think). Grand Finals were a little meh.
Top 16 starts at about 00:15:00 and ends about 1:49:00
Top 4 starts at about 3:06:00 and ends about 3:33:00
I’m wondering about this too…even on the supposedly faster new tvs I can feel the difference from playing crt all this time.
And is anyone kicking themselves for not going to the texas tourney? Very possibly coulda been easy money for some of us
To touch on this, will we be playing at normal resolution, with/out the achievements on the sidebar, stretched or what?
The lag will always get in the way but a stretched is just bad.
UltraChen was doing commentary at Texas Qualifier
I messaged Haunts on twitter about the monitors since he was the one streaming the event. Will let you know as soon as I find out.
If ultra david tries to go up to the stream tv and even touch the screen options again, i’ll kill him ‘_____’
Wouldn’t mind going to the one in London, are they all PS3 though?
Thank you for this.
