Ye hopefully but they didnt have one last year.

Orim

Team Heros ftw.

Dreddybajs

Yeah, Heroes looks pretty dominant to me. Daigo/Bonchan/TKD is a cool team as well

Sisko

What its regular SFIV? Why?

**penny drops**

Oohhhh right yeah... japanese tournies are on arcades. Ah well.

UberPrinny_Baal

Hahaha, didn't know a top-rank SF player used the handle Bonchan



You have to be pretty manly to make that work.

Is it the rules of team tourneys in general, or just this one that no two players pick the same char?

Are SSFIV team battles like that? Never tried one.

It'll be out on arcade in Japan by then, but it wasn't out in time for the SBO prelims.

edit: Uberprinny, yeah generally in team tourneys you can't have multiples of a character on the same team. No idea about on the SSF4 online thing or whatever, talking about real tournaments.

Monkeyto

So EG won the US rep for the 3v3 tourney

Team EG (Justin Wong, Ricky Ortiz, Marn Phan) - Rufus, Chun Li, Viper

I wonder if they'll make it past the first round this year lolz.

Ramza

Inoue Japan [Kuroda, MOV and Nitto](same name and team as last year bar Ino is absent and being replaced by Nitto, a Yun player), to win 3s.

Red star mirror [RX, Rohihikari and Koushun] is who I will be rooting for though, same team as last year but Koushun taking over the spot of Sugiyama

Overall teams are pretty much same as last year, Rikimaru still has same team (with Momochi and Boss)

Also Tokido is on team with K.O (using Yang) and Ochibi (Yun), so that should be cool

A lot to look forward to

I take it theres gonna be a stream for this?.. Well hopefully

I wouldn't say so. It's part run by Arcadia magazine who last year sold the tournament matches on a DVDs with their magazine.

There's always been a stream for SBO every year (I dunno what year it started). It's crap though, well it was the years I watched. They mute the audio in places, and cut to black for minutes at a time. It's to force people to buy it which is fair. The stream is usually ****e

Owwmykneecap

I don't think there was a stream last year.

Year before there was but it was rubbish. the arena is awesome sauce though

Monkeyto

Holy Necropost Batman!

The complete qualifiers have been posted up on SRK.

FULL LIST HERE

They'll have SSFIV Arcade on show at it too.

There's gnna be a stream as well but a) it can stream every match (naturally) and b) You'll have to pay to watch it on Nico Nico Douga (like a Japanese youtube site)

animaX

Some nasty teams in there!!

C-1 Block - Nemo (Chun-Li) / Mago (Sagat) / Tokido (Akuma)
C-2 Block - Kindevu (Rufus) / Momochi (Akuma) / RF (Sagat)

The Hound

It should be interesting to see how the 3 americans do. Man I hope some amgical stream appears for this

Placebo

isnt this just sf4? not so interested

LOL the 3s stats just proved my point, exactly the overpowered characters i mentioned in other 3s online thread.

so did the sf4 stats, oh chunli so awesome yet only 5%

I'll be rooting for Kuroda/MOV/Nitto too, that team is so frightening. RX/Roshi deserve to go far again though, its amazing they made it to the semis a few years back (Team '404 Error' I think?). Shame Sugi's not there, but Koshun is always fun to watch.

Also keeping my eye on this underdog wildcard: Great Demon Flurry ~ Vanao (RY) / Yakkun (YU) / Uraken (GO)

Hoping the French do well too: Team Nadirovic ~ Marko (CH) / Billy Kane (YU) / Nikola (DU)

There will be a stream appearing on NicoNico, but it's pay-per-view and possibly Japanese IP addresses only. Not sure if they're streaming the entire tournament for each game, they may just do semis and finals so as not to dent the later DVD sales too much.

Because Sagat is more awesome.

Placebo

You were the one defending chunli in sf4.

Doctor DooM

Sagat is a different beast in SF4 to SSf4 kiddies, as you well know.

I don't think anyone will look at vanilla Sagat and go "yeah, he's perfect, no changes needed here".

K.O.Kiki

BBCS teams are ridiculous -- 24% Litchi, 24% Bang, 14% Arakune.

Yup, nothing unbalanced here!

Most of the other games seem quite even for at least 8 characters, even ST.

Compared to the stats, shes not as good as you were defending her out to be.
Which is why i mentioned any of this in the first place !?

Team K.O Family are looking v solid to me Circle, although all the teams are mad wicked

Farz that's vanilla sf4, we were defending the all powerful super chun.

Vanilla chun's still pretty damn good though as shown by those stats.

To be honest, KO seems so unlucky... it would be a shame if he missed out on victory AGAIN after coming so close for so many years.

K.O.Kiki

KO's playing Yang this year, right?

Good stuff

LOL no you were, nathan wasnt.
I dont disagree that she powerful in ssf4, she damn is.

GorySnake

I never said Vanilla Chun was the best character in the game, I said she was good. I said SSF4 Chun was possibly #1

The Hound

This is on tonight!

animaX

Stupid having to pay to watch the stream

chopperbyrne

Pay to watch a stream of an outdated game.

F**k that!

K.O.Kiki

Yeah, I know.

But it's SFIII:3rd Strike, sometimes you just GOTTA...

animaX

Trying to tell us something about chun that we didn't already know?!

Also, where were u on GGPO last night?! Got it working but most connections weren't great

K.O.Kiki

Another thing to note.

The following games didn't have ANY character represented more than once in final Top 4 team standings:
Melty Blood Actress Again 2v2
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown 3v3

Thus proving my theorem that they are the most balanced fighters out there. (Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion came close, 2 Marduks).

Terry can I play you sometime?
Don't think I've had the pleasure of your Hugo yet.

The 3S grand final was pretty tense, would love to see the other fights.

And yeah, 3S is definitely not balanced and you get loads of Chuns, Yuns, etc, but I don't see that as a worthwhile reason to rebalance (I presume that was the inference). Part of what makes 3S so fun is trying to overcoming the odds thrown at you.

K.O.Kiki

True.

That's why I play Q.

Best character.
Best music.

Anyway, predictable results but tbh we all seen it coming with 3s xD INO Japan ironically with a distinct lack of INO (being replaced with none other than Nitto Yun) ripped it up. Kuroda is too sick. K.O family looked very strong to me but tbh K.O just can't shake the KO CURSE!!!

Placebo

OK lets take that pattern into consideration.
Sagat being used the most, obviously overpowered and therefore nerfed in the next release.

Which is why SF3 online should be rebalanced, nerfing characters like chunli. I know at this stage you have change your mind on re balancing the game some what but initially you were against the idea, anyway i was just highlighting my old point, not sure why you're highlighting yours.
