The day of the event is now only 2 weeks away. This is a thread to gather together all the news, videos and related talk. The word is that MOV and Kuroda are pushing Inoue to come back to the scene, and Ino could make an appearance at the event. All the teams are comfirmed except for the Korea team and Last Chance qualifiers.
In commenmoration, here is a little known video of the Kuroda’s team vs Aruka’s team in the 08 tournament:
The event will be held during the Tokyo Game Show on the weekend of September 18-19. STREET FIGHTER III 3rd STRIKE will be played last, on Sunday the 19th of September, Toyko time.
The word is that there WILL be some form of live streaming.
I am gonna fuck up my sleeping schedule to watch this if it is streamed.
SBO has never been streamed though has it?Aren’t they hesitant to do it because they get most of their money from DVD sales?
I want any character to take it as long as it’s not Chun.God I hate that bitch.With Kurodas playing Ken though,it’s a good chance we’ll see a godlike Ken in grand finals.
Have any Alex players qualified?Whats the character representation like overall?
Even though Inoue Japan is the safest bet, who knows when there are teams like Rikimaru/Momochi/Boss, KO/Tokido/OTB and the one I would bet on Kokujin/Haitani/Nuki. Single Elimination baby, everything can happen (and usually does!). Can’t wait :rock:
A ‘carnival style’ set up is planned for this year’s tournament, with the main matches plus side ‘free play’ events going on at the same time. So streaming will probably not feature the full set of main matches.
The most famous live streaming was back in 2007, when I showed everyone the color of Yang.
The schedule for the ‘Secondary Chance Qualifiers’ are released. For SFIII: 3rd Strike they will take place on the second day of the event, August 19th. Two places are reserved for foreign teams.
Without considering Kuroda, TM is without question the single best Q player in the world at the moment. Roku tries to Kuroda style SA2 Ken TM, but TM Kuroda style trolls him plus a few tricks up his sleeve. Who will come out on top?
Features Vanao ?RY?, Roku?KE?, TM?Q?, Tokura?YA?, AFM?CH?, Yakkun ?NE?
