Snake Eyes is not a good place to start. But maybe he has something up his sleeve since he knew he'd face Snake Eyes. Some surprise character maybe.

This should be great, but the number one thing I am interested in is more footage of sf 5. I hope there is more than just Ryu and Chun li shown.
To honest, the format is killing a lot of my hype for this. This is a lot of money and this format is not conducive to awarding it to the best player.
I really want Daigo to win, I truly believe he is the best player there, without question. But I don't think he'll win in this format.

Fucking Christ.
I just spent $15 on breakfast at Burger King that should've cost me $8 MAX.
Someone please remind me to bring groceries next time I come to SF.

First time in probably two years that I'll be watching a FGC tourney live. I usually just skim through archives because of all the downtime and delays
Anyway I'm hyped. Taking the whole day off for this

@Evans_SF donc bilan MM pre CC:
Val 5 2 Luffy
Val 3 0 Bonchan
Umehara 3 1 Val
Luffy 3 2 Bonchan
Umehara 3 1 Luffy
Nishikin 3 0 Val
Luffy losing to Daigo in a MM might not mean much, but it reflects well on Daigo in his prospects.
I still think top 3 is going to be Infiltration, Daigo and Louffy.

LMFAO
Yeah those results mean pretty much nothing, no way any of those guys were playing serious.

We're all thinking Daigo will win and he'll end up getting bopped early.

I'd be surprised if Louffy mucked around in a money match, but it's possible.

"hmm...will 2º place prize be enough for Gianna...."
yeah i kinda agree. we'll see though.
When I used to compete, I was too stubborn to sandbag in money matches. It did bite me in the ass a handful of times, though. My thinking was always: "I want you to make the proper adaptations because I'm going to be strong enough to beat you in tournament anyway.".
I realized looking back that it's a great attitude to have in the biggest picture sense, but isn't a very good tournament strategy. Especially when the competition is close and it's a game like SF4, and the format is 2/3.
Old man story time. You can skip it if you hate Smash:
I remember, many years back, losing in a Melee grand finals match, in a tournament that was supposed to be a layup for me. I MM'd a Sheik 3x for $20 and only one of the matches were close. I was in Winner's comfortably. He counter picked me with Peach. I knew the matchup, but struggled with it at the time, and much of the anti-Peach techs/strats that exist today hadn't been developed at that time (Ken also struggled at this matchup vs Wife, and we had a long conversation about what to do at an MLG once). It was considered a bad matchup for Marth. Went down to the last match, last game, but he won the tournament. Won his money back and then some (pot was almost $400, which was a lot back then).
I was FURIOUS. So mad, in fact, I tossed what was probably my best GC controller ever into a nearby lake and quit the game for a few months. It was actually a turning point in my life, because looking back at how much I identified with that game is what made me decide to enroll in college, and focus on my health and fitness goals. I felt embarrassed that I was that invested in the game.
So, yeah, not sandbagging in a MM changed my life. Don't do drugs.
