This Cammy Color speaks to me.

I don't think it will, SFV is not as well received as SF4 was even among most SF fans.
what time was GF last year?
Last year Dreamhack was only a ranking event and was also competing with several other events that weekend.
This year, Dreamhack has the weekend for itself and was upgraded to a premier. You always want to see growth for events.
Speaking of growth, think entries for the tournament is down as well.

Not like this Justin.
USF4 was so damn great near the end, I don't think SFV is going to reach that for awhile (if it ever does)

It's a miracle that he made top 8, be happy with that.

All of this fuckery.
It's at 28k now and it's not the GF yet, #of the entries will never match the first year, now most players know they have no chance and there is no reason for them to travel and compete.

Nah I don\t believe it.
If Justin takes out Punk with a Chun I'll run her for three days straight online.

I think the time definitely has an effect on how many people are watching. I didn't think DH Austin was going to reach 50k, but at least 35-40 if it happened during primetime hours.
I've said this many times and I'll say it again. I think SF4(in general) is the more entertaining game to watch. The game itself just allowed for more crazy display of tech, reads, and just random but hype shit happening. SFV can still grow the viewer base from here on out but I think if SF4 were in this position it would have done a better job of that.

This. I would like to see him make the switch to her. He doesnt play Karin to her full potential at all. Chun fits his style more imo

Damn that's a name I haven't heard in awhile.
Eh, it's not traveling and competing. It's about drawing in the local crowd, even at majors. Austin is supposed to be a big Street Fighter scene, but I'm not seeing them come out for Dreamhack for whatever reason.

This comes up every tournament. SFV will never reach the amount of entrants it had in the first year. People drop the game en masse and only the hardcore remain to jump back in every year. It'll happen with Tekken, it'll happen with Injustice, and it'll happen with Gundam.
There's really nothing you can do. Punk is so good at timing his attacks that you would rather just eat the throw than eat a combo.
Punk is dominant. He looks unstoppable.

Punk's Karin is so much swag goddamn.
Maybe you didn't notice but SFV is much less popular than SF4.

Xian vs. Punk like I said.

Punk makes Karin look like the best character in the game, by far.
