By the way, there’s a good version of the Grand Finals on RoydRoydRoyd’s YT channel, with sound. It’s the first video. Check it out!

The exact reason that Matsuda keeps 3s on the SBO lineup is the exact reason the Cannon Bros. keep it out of Evo
One side loves the game while the other completely hates it, if you look at the 2/3 format at Evo, look at what it drove down to… not to mention the fact that it was only a portion of japan’s finest players that came, imagine playing in a 2/3 format in Japan, you HONESTLY wanna give MOV CHUN LI!! (out of all things) a second chance?? someone as godlike as that can take the tournament easily but the fact that single elim keeps things random is a reason why 3s + SBO is so amazing, all you have to do is have a good day and you can make it to the finals like Genki, Aiku, and Pierrot did
Aside from that, after all this time SBO 3s is basically like the superbowl for us, it can get random easily but hey it’s all a matter of who is on their shit on that day so ppl can say 2/3 is for the best but really when you get those players in a single elim format, if they adapt quick enough in 1 ROUND and stay solid long enough to make it to finals or even win…that show’s a lot more about their play and skill than simply adapting with another game to save themselves
Yeah single elim can be random but the point is it keeps things exciting and fresh for everyone watching especially when you have clutch moments to look back and say yeah, this guy’s team was on the verge of losing but brought it back with a broken hand to win everything…not every tournament can have it like that, 2/3 games would just make the moment stale imo…just imagine how much more Daigo’s parry would’ve meant if it was a single game, single elim format…it already is one of, if not the greatest moment in fighting game history…but to have someone face elimination but then bring it back like that would really make ppl look at the game with more excitement
still waiting on this, it seemed it was hilarious.
I laughed hard, just because of tokura’s reaction.
I’ll do one better and translate the pre-fight comments from “Kuroda’s Looking For a Girlfriend” and “Pizza Stream”.
Kuroda: "It feels like the fighting game I’ve been playing up to this point was for nothing…but I wish to change that. I wish to change that…"
Boss: "At first I hated this team because we had zero chemistry, but now I’m feeling like I’m in a really great team. I wish to, and will, win this tournament with this team."
MOV: “As SBO’s #1 fan, I wish to say I love this event very much. To all of you guys who are willing to stick around this late into the night for us, I’ll try my best and put on a great show for everyone here.”
Kokujin: "This is Kokujin of Pizza Stream. From this point on, I want to go at this with no jokes, all business. And… starts to fake a tear… …sorry. lol"
Nuki: "Hey guys, this is Nuki of Pizza Stream! To be honest, I quit this game for a couple months to play SF4 with Rikimaru, but I’ve been prepping myself very hard for the past two weeks in order to make it to Grand Finals, so please watch my hard work come to fruition."
Tokura: “This is Tokura of Pizza Stream. I might be thinking too deeply into this, but the first time I saw SBO was in 2006 when Kokujin, Nuki and KO teamed up that year. This was also the first year I saw KO, but he lost to MOV at that time. Since we’re on the same stage now, I would like to call it a night by defeating MOV in KO’s place.”
boss + kuroda high five gif, somebody make it happen
lol Tokura feelin himself, i respect that… i would’ve said the same shit haha ‘_____’
EDIT: Metric here’s your gif
lmao <3 someone will get it for you don’t worry
Jeez, I’m not gonna even bother to respond to all of this mess, so take this; Look, I never meant that K.O lost absolutely and only because of the SE system, but I doubt it works in his or anyone’s except the very strongest contenders’ favor nor do I think he absolutely has something against SE and is just “forced” to play in tournaments that use it. I think SE is dumb, you can say whatever you please and you’re entitled to it, and for me DE is better for everything, but I don’t except SBO or the whole of Japan to see it that way, I’m pretty sure their logic for using SE for everything is more sound to mine using DE, no doubt, and I respect them for that. I also haven’t said nor think that K.O loses because he’s ass, he’s a very good player as is everyone in SBO, obviously. Another thing, I don’t care who wins or loses at SBO, all I care that the competition is stellar and da very bess are playing, which there always is, and the matches are entertaining, which they always are.
Peace.

There is no such thing as random

The one on the Last page wasn’t good enough for you? Maybe the full body shot necessary.:wgrin:
So, just looking around quickly for photos, tougeki site is pretty bare bones.
