Can anyone link me to an old fighting game tournament trailer that had Chris G and a bunch of other guys acting like it was the apocalypse, and they had someone go out and procure some fighting games, only for them all to freak out when one of the games (I think it was Street Fighter X Tekken) wasn't in the right case?

I would like to see it

But the better question is would Louffy just stomp everyone at this point with how he was playing at Evo compared to everyone else

nah i think Daigo will.

he has a knack for truly going ham during fights that don't matter or are AFTER THE FACT. as if to make up for his lackluster performance.

Daigo has been beating Louffy for a while though. He beat him at dreamhack and 3-0'd him at some point earlier I heard. So he should be able to win, but we'll see. He also has the advantage of not playing Sagat, lol.

Any of these top guys can beat each other on any given day. Seriously how many of you called Louffy winning EVO? That's the cool thing about high level SF4. There's like 50 guys who have a legitimate shot at winning EVO. With Marvel... we all knew it was coming down to 3-5 guys.... It was just a matter of what order.

Purpura, arthritis and abdominal pain are known as the "classic triad" of Henoch–Schönlein purpura.[2] Purpura occur in all cases, joint pains and arthritis in 80%, and abdominal pain in 62%. Some include gastrointestinal hemorrhage as a fourth criterion; this occurs in 33% of cases, sometimes, but not necessarily always, due to intussusception.[3] The purpura typically appear on the legs and buttocks, but may also be seen on the arms, face and trunk. The abdominal pain is colicky in character, and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea. There may be blood or mucus in the stools.[4] The joints involved tend to be the ankles, knees, and elbows, but arthritis in the hands and feet is possible; the arthritis is nonerosive and hence causes no permanent deformity.[2] Forty percent have evidence of kidney involvement, mainly in the form of hematuria (blood in the urine), but only a quarter will have this in sufficient quantities to be noticeable without laboratory tests.[3] Problems in other organs, such as the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and lungs may occur, but is much less common than in the skin, bowel and kidneys.[5]

Of the 40% of patients who develop kidney involvement, almost all have evidence (visible or on urinalysis) of blood in the urine. More than half also have proteinuria (protein in the urine), which in one eighth is severe enough to cause nephrotic syndrome (generalised swelling due to low protein content of the blood). While abnormalities on urinalysis may continue for a long time, only 1% of all HSP patients develop chronic kidney disease.[5] Hypertension (high blood pressure) may occur. Protein loss and high blood pressure, as well as the features on biopsy of the kidney if performed, may predict progression to advanced kidney disease. Adults are more likely than children to develop advanced kidney disease.

his disease has some pretty serious complications.

Sure Fuudo would still be a free win for him but historically Daigo and Xian have Louffy's number(Xian put Louffy in losers at EVO). Don't know how often Infiltration and Louffy have played but I would put my money on Infiltration if they played. Louffy played out of his mind this EVO and deserves to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if he came out 4th or 5th in this hypothetical round robin. Everybody is a killer so their is no shame in coming last.

A round robin featuring all those guys would either take too long or would be sets of best of 3.

Dedicate a whole day to it like Topanga or King of New York. I don't want to watch this for 1 hour, I want to spend a evening or night watching this. Make it FT5 and we're good to go.

I think it would be pretty similar to the Xian story last year. The other guys would train up on Rose, learn the updated matchup and it would be a pretty different story.

Or not. Would be good to see.

That MCZ EVO Champ round robin totally needs to be edition select.

So you're saying each person has to play the version that they used to win EVO? So Daigo has the option of using either Vanilla Ryu or Super Ryu? Well that actually is a pretty bad ass idea.

Vanilla Ryu with Super trap, trade Ultra, and FADC-able 1 hit 160 damage HP SRK is a little too much. As long as Daigo has to use Super Ryu over Vanilla Ryu, it would be a fair enough fight between the 4 champions. Like I said, I love the idea but I'm guessing they will stick with USF4 for this round robin if it happens.

Yeah, the Vanilla->Super damage changes make Super Ryu a much fairer idea.

Or you can have Daigo play twice, once with Vanilla and again with Super.

All matches ft50

I have absolutely no problem with this lol.

I've been saying they're probably not going to do it but man we should pitch this idea to MarkMan and have him ask the players if they're OK with it. It's just a exhibition and as long as no character is too OP compared to the others, it would make for a lot of fair and entertaining matches.

Ryan Hart and Problem X will be at Triple Threat today. Stream starting in a few hours here. Would be awesome to see some of you tune in and monster it up. Also got Marvel, 3s and (most importantly) ST.

Blacks can't be racist silly! He also said another comment about whites but I forgot, something about integrity. At this point it doesn't really matter what he says, once november comes Armada and Mew2king are probably gone, nuckledu is probably getting picked up as well. It's all downhill from here.

He still has his "files" though, better watch out!

Not that it matters, but both comments were about black people
