[Venfayth]

Best weekend? Best weekend.

[onemic]

HYPED

[Conceited]

No sleep.

[ScOULaris]

Fantastic lineup of games, and an equally great lineup of players.

LESS GO BABY!

[Dahbomb]

And here we go.

[TheThunder]

Just to make sure that my international timezone capabilities are functional:

Casuals on Friday start in about 14hours from this post right ?


Oh, and even though I've said it many times before, but that player line looks, as Yipes would put it, rakakelus!

[Kikujiro]

EVO level line up.

[USD]

Just to make sure that my international timezone capabilities are functional: Casuals on Friday start in about 14hours from this post right ?

Yes. I got lazy with the time zones, I might throw in an EDT conversion just for reference.

[sixteen-bit]

EVO level line up.

Hope they all show up unlike the last SS

[Deadman]

Hyped to see zak bennett's firebrand team vs the established american players

[StriKeVillain]

No sleep.

This x1000. Stream Monster Olympics.

[zlatko]

MooseKing better commentate. He's the only foreign commentator worth a damn I've heard.

SS 2011 was the best stream side from EVO. Top quality stream, commentating, show out, matches, and hype.

Stoked and a half for this.

[CookedChocobo]

Stream monstering > Sleep.

Let's get hyped!

[Hazaro]

If I'm reading that right... 11PM PST starts Marvel Pools? fml

[Nabs]

I hope they handle the stream better than last year.

[Rice-Eater]

I hope all the AE heads stay up to watch this one. It should be without a doubt the best line up for AE outside of EVO itself.

[CookedChocobo]

And last year SS's AE tourney was godlike.

It was like the first time I've seen Poongko play in an actual tourney, god dayum at the Machine!

[~Devil Trigger~]

no Chris G again?

the lame needs to go international danmit!!

[Lhexh]

I look forward to poongko vs fuudo II: Electric bugaloo. That is all I am insterested in here.

[crimzonflame]

Great job as usual USD. Why is KOF missing in the list of games?

[Rice-Eater]

I'm hoping Michael Tan can be this years Poongko. He's got the skills, but nobody has ever seen him play outside of a few matches on Japanese team tournaments. I think he has a really good chance to make this his break through performance like SS2K11 did for Poongko last year. And it could be a gateway to coming to EVO for someone like him, unlike some of the other internationals who are sponsored already.

[Venfayth]

no Chris G again? the lame needs to go international danmit!!

He was in the cool promo video, too :(

[WesternHeretic]

I'm hoping Michael Tan can be this years Poongko. He's got the skills, but nobody has ever seen him play outside of a few matches on Japanese team tournaments.

I don't know man Michael Tan is pretty known. In fact I think Michael Tan is the favorite to win.

[Ravidrath]

Skullgirls is a sponsor, and will be giving a custom stick to the winner of the tournament.

I am actually more hyped for AE than Marvel at this event although Marvel after pools into top 16 is going to be insane too. The lineup has even topped last year's line up (although it's not going to have the Mago vs Ross runback).

[speedpop]

I might actually remember to watch this over the weekend.

[biosnake20]

No sleep for a whole weekend? I'm cool with that.

[djplaeskool]

Oh man.
KVO and Shadowloo Showdown this weekend.
Got my NoDoz on deck.

Oh god I hope your wrong because those times are horrible.

[Lulubop]

Oh man. KVO and Shadowloo Showdown this weekend. Got my NoDoz on deck.

Seasons beating Marvel is gonna be the hypest thing all weekend.

[Brobzoid]

Oh god I hope your wrong because those times are horrible.

this is usually how it works out for me when I watch american streams. Ain't that hard.

[schennmu]

I basically stopped watching FGC stream because I wasted too much time on it... But for this lineup I'm in there again. Hype!

[Urban Scholar]

It's going down on international levels. Man I'm excited with all the players showing up from all their respective regions.

[Venfayth]

Skullgirls is a sponsor, and will be giving a custom stick to the winner of the tournament. More pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/reverge...7629954088397/

Ahhhhh that stick looks so awesome. Love that art. Wannnt.

[Krev]

Wow, great line-up.
Last year's was awesome, so I'm pretty hyped.

[Junie12]

I'll be staying up for this, this lineup looks awesome.

[Crocodile]

I remember catching a few bits and pieces of SS 2k11. I can't believe it's been a year already. Of course, as with last year, the times are so terrible for me that I'll barely catch any of the stream. I hope is a good tournament though.

[djplaeskool]

Seasons beating Marvel is gonna be the hypest thing all weekend.

Oh god. Season's Beatings Summer Slam is this weekend too.
This will be an intense 72 hours...

[toddhunter]

Should be a good tournament hopefully they learn from the "big" commentry mistakes of last year.

But I bet they don't. Hopefully they keep jeavy weapons away and don't spend the whole time trying to shove annoying terms and catch-phrases down everybodies throat. Was really embarassing given the quality of everything else.

[GotchaForce]

Too much hype this weekend!

[ismk]

Between Shadowloo and Season Beatings, looks like no one will be sleeping this weekend but it'll be HYPE.

[entrement]

What's happened to Daigo? Is he still in the scene?

[BaroqueSampson]

Oh god I hope your wrong because those times are horrible.

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO STREAM MONSTER THAT HARD?

[sleepykyo]

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO STREAM MONSTER THAT HARD?

You had to bring up Data East in fighting game thread. Now I'm sad there will never be a Fighters' History Dynamite follow up.
