EVO 2011 3S "Grandmaster Invitational" Tournament

goo.tecks? lol no offense but i dont want to watch jab mashed as AA on teh big screen.

Gootecks should play, only if every time he plays, Mike Ross stands next to him with a loudspeaker.

“THERE YOU GO GOOTECKS!!! THERE YOU GO!!!”

I’d watch that lol.

gootecks is good, but if emphy is available he should definitely be THE urien player in the roster

There really aren’t going to be that many players who were good and still are in shape at 3s, so I think players like Gootecks, Justin, Chris G. would be great cuz it’ll get the MvC3/SFIV players to ride their dicks to the point of playing 3s, no? Obviously Pyrolee and the like need to be there as well.

Pretty obvious they’re going to invite Kuroda. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

Unless that umbrella of his can fly him over like Mary Poppins I doubt he’ll be there.

Capcom too cheap to help fly out the greatest 3S player in the world to promo their game?

in short, yes.

in long form, Kuroda doesn’t really win too many tournaments. The style of play required to win tournaments doesn’t suit him, he’s out to do big and great things within the game not just wait for the right moment to low forward super. It’s not Kuroda. Having said that, Capcom probably doesn’t want someone who is only known as the greatest because he is the greatest, over someone who is considered the greatest because he wins tournaments. I hope that makes sense.

Of course, it’ll only make sense if Winning tournaments != The best. Things simply do not work that way.

What does Capcom have to do with Evo?

The true question is, What DON’T they have to do with EVO?

based on what I know of Kuroda, which is not much, I don’t think he would accept an offer to come play here even if it was made.

I don’t think Americans would be too thrilled to meet Kuroda anyway. Dude’s an asshole, from what I hear. haha

nah kuroda is awesome. never seen him do anything asshole ever in my life.

but i agree. he probably wouldnt come even if paid for.

There are plenty of 3S players in the US who love 3S and would enjoy playing. Yes Japan is the home of 3S but we do play it here too.

Invite them. They may not be as impressive or exciting but they’re here already and don’t need to be flown in overseas. Rep the home crowd even if they do suck (comparatively).

I don’t think the AI crew and SF4 players would like to meet to Kuroda. Anyone else would be thrilled! We would have so much to talk about seeing as he doesn’t have a job or anything stupid to schmooze about. I would make sure he stayed high his entire trip here.

Hand picked 5 man round robin

My bets on Wong Momochi and Daigo taking slots

I hope its not only players like Justin, Daigo and Ricky who get in. It will just give the game a bad showing, rusty Chuns and Kens.

Should be 2-3 Japanese players, like MOV, Deshiken, Nuki, KSK etc
Then from America if its on arcade get some Denjin players, maybe some NY players. Dont just have some SFIV players!

Guys, what if we invite Kuroda and tell him that he can troll us all as hard as he can with any character he wants, and offer him all the unlabeled booze and umbrellas he can carry once he gets here?

Goddamn I have such a broner for Kuroda.

A little more on-topic, if Pyrolee isn’t in then this is dumb.

5 man invitational? Why not make it like 16 man bracket? There’s definitely enough “grandmasters” to fill that out. If it’s just a bunch of people who don’t play anymore that get it because they’re “spotlight” players it’ll be pretty lame.

5 man is ridiculous. They just want to get it over with and sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible.
