Whens the American edition coming?

3

You win for this.

4

It’s an ST tourney not HDR.

That’s why it’s in Europe as opposed to America.

Also i’m gonna start saving up money for this if it kills me.

I’ll sell a guitar or something.

5

that’s it I cancel!

6

LMAO your funny… man i hope they do make an American edition someday it would be awesome getting to play those guys over in our home turf :stuck_out_tongue:

7

you guys should just come visit us!

8

man, very nice.

i think all the old characters (except shotos, hawk and sagat) should be considered qualified for the low tier bonus.

btw what stick / buttons the cabs are equipped with?

official site / sign up page will be coming soon?

wow you got aniken, very intriguing !

may i also suggest you setup interview with various top players attending the events?

9

This is clever. But why isn’t Zangief in this group?

10

This is pretty incredible.

11

After the Kumite#1 in November i’ll be very happy to come again in France, this is gonna be the best event ever for 2X in Europe for sure. Thumbs up to french community!

12

I like the sound of this. Not sure I can make it, but I am very tempted though.

13

AWESOME!.. I love it man, ST, Cabs, Aniken, Otochun and X-Mania in Europe, ST is taking over the world again!

Old. Hawk is pretty nasty i don’t consider O.Hawk a low tier character, also, O.Guile is a pretty solid character too.

14

lol he’s third in the list you quoted.

15

Word

16

Ah shit, I was tired when I posted that! Oops.

17

Stop wishing for things and go book some plane tickets to France.

18

I’m jealous.

19

Just on a lark I will see how much some plane tickets to France are right now.

very interested in how the setups will be. green or blue boards, what speed etc? now would be a great time to set a standard speed for all the people that are gonna use ggpo to practice.

just for kicks i setup 2 cabs side by side with jpn grandmaster challenge and us super turbo. US speed 2, Jpn speed 3 and selected sim since he has the slowest jump. i pressed the jump straight up button simultaneously on both cabs and it was obvious the us game was faster as sim came down first by an easily distinguishable amount. i will probably make another thread concerning this after ive recorded it, etc.
