Ryu vs Boxer one seems easy enough. I’ll try to recreate it.
Maj confirms no dizzy TOD’s are possible. He does one with Guile at 7m17s:

Some more here:
Not to brag, but I had absolutely no doubt Rog could TOD easily. Just too much damage in everything. As for Chun’s TODs, her cl.Jab does huge damage (as much as her strong) for a chain-cancellable move, which is part of the reason they are possible - other being huge super damage + upkicks.

-ud
Yes! My mistake, of course!
I hope the brothers show up again.
Did any of you guys tweet Mr Wizard about the six or less games you want at Evo? I picked ST (standard 3/5), ST starcup, ST ratio, ST 3v3 teams, ST char lock single elim, and ST character auction
going to jp in jan. will be in tokyo area whats good arcade to go to for st might try playing for a night or something
Pretty good article from Muffin Man detailing his experiences in Japan. Includes a lot of good arcade info:
10 yen? Wow that is cheap.
Which day of the week are you looking at? Different arcades are hotspots for ST on different nights.
jan 3-12 ill be there
(Note: Tuesday at Versus were the only ones I were able to attend. The rest I know of from what others have told me)
Tuesday is really fun at Gamespot Versus because of the team battle. Lots of good players are usually there for it. It usually starts around 9:30ish but players start showing up around 6-7PM so you can get a few hours of really good causals before and after the team battle.
Wednesday - 500 yen free play at Mikado.
Thursday they have weekly events at Nakano Royal. Each week is a different type of tournament/event. I wasn’t able to go to any of these but MuffinMan went to one. You can maybe get in touch with him if you have more questions.
Friday - No official events but good casuals at Mikado. 500 yen free play at Game Newton.
Saturday - According to the Japanese Tournament Calendar, there will be a NVC Ranking Battle at Game Newton
Sunday - According to the Japanese Tournament Calendar, there will be a 3vs3 monthly team battle at Versus.
Just something fun I wanted to share:
Xiaohai plays ST!
Spoiler
In case you don’t know who he is: old-school KOF legend from China, won KOF98 at SBO the one year they ran that, has only started traveling to more international events in recent years, has been making a name for himself in SF4.
He played with us at Canada Cup just this past month. No prize, no bets, joined just 'cause he wanted to. His buddy Dakou recorded for a while, too.
I don’t know if it ever would’ve been Xiaohai’s main game, but he’s definitely put time into it. I think our city (Vancouver) has some pretty strong players, and I believe he left with a winning record against everyone.
Barely speaks a lick of English. Super friendly and a bonafide top player. He won SF4 the next day.
cool thx
Not only is HEY super cheap at 10 yen per game, but I was there often in my recent 2 week stay and not once was there not at least 3 really good players there, day or night. Much more at night because of work schedules obviously but still, it’s crazy there. They dedicated the second 10 yen H2H setup to ST also, where before it used to be for KOF98/2002. So 2 H2H 10 yen setups for ST greet you as soon as you reach (I think?) 3rd floor.
I couldn’t stay for the team event @ Gamespot Versus but the best comp I saw was there on a Tuesday night. 50 yen per game. They have other stuff there also, including cvs2, the latest Blazblue version, KOF13, TTT2, and a few Nesica cabs. And a Gundam game, which I think I saw people playing on in literally every game center I went into in Tokyo.
Also wanted to mention that Mikado has a SF2 Rainbow edition hack and a cocktail cab running SF2 Hyper Fighting. I wish I knew about the X-Mania DVDs that Muffin mentioned, tho. It wasn’t visible in their glass case and I can’t speak a lick of Japanese so I would know how to ask. Whoever gets to visit there soon, I’d love for them to order some for the folks that couldn’t get otherwise. That 24-disc collection sounds like something I’d like.
I think that Gundam game is the most popular arcade game right now. Blows fighting games out of the water in terms of popularity.
I’m kind of surprised anyone plays ST in China. I hear there are barely a handful of SF2 cabs at all in that country.
