lee chung freestyles some more on that archive.
The impression that now is that Capcom US is very conscious of the grassroots community... that and/or they didn't want attention divided between a Capcom Cup qualifier and another big event. I suspect that if SEAM was not a Capcom Cup qualifier, they would have gotten permission and Capcom's support.Sundance has referred to "bad blood" between MLG and Capcom for the reason why SF isn't at their events. Doesn't look like that has changed.
Yeah, seemingly the difference in history has been MLG saying "who cares, we have the money" when it comes to overlap and IPL making a commitment to never interfere with existing events. That's why they went with IPL. I'm sure even if there was bad blood and MLG had something positive and beneficial to offer, business would have happened regardless of a previous falling out. It is business, after all.The impression that now is that Capcom US is very conscious of the grassroots community... that and/or they didn't want attention divided between a Capcom Cup qualifier and another big event.

(Wasn't there a similar issue with IPL back in the day, where they had announced SF4 at IPL5 and then had to drop it because it was conflicting with Final Round?)
Looks like Capcom cocked blocked MLG again because of SEA Major.

But it does look like they're on board as long as it doesn't coincide with a big community tournament. It's just that I don't think this should be an issue since SEA Major is on a different continent and is separated by an ocean.

I'm not trying to hate on MLG but they aren't considered grassroots. They're entirely funded by venture capital.The impression that now is that Capcom US is very conscious of the grassroots community... that and/or they didn't want attention divided between a Capcom Cup qualifier and another big event.

Basic DMC4 Dante guidesDahbomb, where can I find a breakdown of DMC4 Dante's Styles? I never got far into DMC3 and the OT only talks about them in passing.
Great to hear Kbrad got signed to EG. I wonder when is the ETA to the Chris G signing
(ノ`Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
Sorry. It's easy to miss a PM which is why I posted it here.
Plus, I figured DMC4 was more relevant to FGs than food/movies :/
How do you miss a PM when it shows up in giant glowing colors
hey markman
use your Illuminati connections to get tekken on pc bro

...that's it? Weren't they threatening to blow some shit up if they didn't get Street Fighter?
What's the ETA on ChrisG and Fchamp not being sponsor cancer?
I would totally watch that Marvel disk anime.
Just got back from Captain America and all I have to say is...
Cap'n 'MERICUH FUCK YEA MUTHER FUCKAH!!!
When they main SF4. That is the only game with any serious wide appeal outisde the core FGC audience.
EG already has a literal NASCAR jacket full of sponsors.It's so good to see something better than the lackluster IM2 and Thor 2 films.
And, wow that Kbrad got another sponsor, he is gonna need a nascar-like jacket to display them all. Or did EG make him drop all of his other sponsors?
