I highly doubt it. Spencer's assist does nothing for Zero... unlike a Nova. Zero's assist does absolutely nothing for Spencer. Even in Sougenmu it's debatable, but who in their right mind would Sougenmu and DHC out (Tape Bot...) and not just go for lighting loops?

DHC into Spencer is useless if you run Zero on point. Running Zero isn't really that much better...

Yea that combo is going to fail. I'm 90% sure Fanatiq will just end up making a Spencer team.

P.S You guys notice that the only pad Zero's (or at least notable ones) are all like Anime lovers?

So the Kuwait Marvel qualifiers finished and Mysterious and G-Voice won.

But G-Voice can't travel due to some issues that came up so it will go to 3rd place mesh3l.

Unlike Shadowloo, we will make sure that Mysterious does not have visa issues and can participate.

The last hour or so of the stream the audio crapped out on us, but Youtube videos of said matches with proper audio will be uploaded in the next few days.

You can find the archives here www.twitch.tv/fikrakw

Also thanks to USD for helping out on giving the event exposure

Fanatiq shouldn't drop MSS. That team is pretty damn good, I don't think tier whoring is going to do anything for him.

The fact that he won ECT with MSS proves that it's a top level team. Fanatiq just needs to work on his matchups. And possibly infinites ^_^

It's not as bad as you think it is. If his Zero is having trouble getting in, at an opportune time he can Sougenmu and DHC into Bionic Arm. Works similar to the dhc to Storm. Not as good in some ways (on the ground), but it's definitely not bad.

And if he does that, he'll have a Sougenmu'd Zero able to do an awesome projectile assist.

Infrit has some interesting reset and set up. Like that kill where he puts his opponent mid screen and use Nova J.S to cross up and put them back into the corner on the incoming.

I must have been stream monstering hard during EVO because I have no clue what you guys are talking about. >.<

Damn Shady got 5 loops of lighting loops. I haven't even got to 5 yet. =( 2.5 million damage lol...... if only someone actually had that much HP.

Edit: He did it a 2nd time from a full combo. 3 Mil lol..... Oh Zero.

MSS is effective for long sets, and maybe winning a major or two out of 10 you play in, but it has 2 characters with 850k health and a character that's a gamble as anchor. Such a team is going to be randomed out super easily in tourneys. Team Knives in comparision has Spencer with high health, a Sent which is more solid with Tatsu and a better anchor. He needs to work seriously in that team if he wants to be the next J Wong and be a consistent threat for major wins.

http://www.streetfighter25.com/en/tournaments/

Registration for the SF 25th Anniversary tournament series is now open. They even have pay out info available. This is what they'll be paying out in the Austin tournament

SF4/SFxT

1st: $2500
2nd: $1250
3rd: $500
4th: $400
5th/6th: $300 each
7th/8th: $200 each
9-13: $150 each
13-16: $125 each

3SO/HDR

1st: $1250
2nd: $750
3rd: $350
4th: $300
5th/6th: $200 each
7th/8th: $150 each
9-13: $87.50 each
13-16: $75 each

Total pay out is $21,500 for this event minus the cost of flying them out to San Francisco where the grand finals will be held. In all, there will be 7 of these qualifiers. And assuming they all pay out the same that's $150,500 total for these 7 qualifiers.

Information on GF pay outs are also available

SF4/SFxT


1st: $25,000(SFxT winner gets the car)
2nd: $10,000
3rd: $5,000
4th: $2,000
5th/6th: $1,000 each
7th/8th: $850 each
9-13: $775 each
13-16: $300 each

3SO/HDR

1st: $3000
2nd: $1500
3rd: $1000
4th: $600
5th/6th: $500 each
7th/8th: $400 each
9-13: $300 each
13-16: $225 each

Total pay out for this is 120k for all 4 games combined. Combined with the hypothetical assumption that every qualifier pays out the same as the Austin one and you have 270k total minus trip cost. The car is suppose to be 35k I guess, so that's 305k minus the trip cost. Anyways, it' pretty fun to know what kind of money is on the line. These pots are the highest we've ever seen for Capcom fighters or any fighting games in general I think. 1st place for SFxT or SF4 will far exceed the winner at this years EVO, probably by 10k at least, but certainly more. Now it's time to see who's still hungry after EVO.

I kind of doubt that we'll see the Japanese so soon after EVO. But I get the feeling that Infiltration and Laugh have there eyes on each of these qualifiers. It wouldn't surprise me if we see Laugh and Infiltration in Texas at the end of this month. Which would bad news for Americans since Infiltration in particular looked so dominant in SF4 and SFxT, and these two are the money games of this tournament series. Guys like JWong, Ricky, or Latif better be working hard on there game if they don't want Infil to come and win for free again, that's if he shows up.

Will anybody from GAF be attending the Austin one? Unfortunately, none of these events are close to where I live(NC) so I won't be attending any.

P.S You guys notice that the only pad Zero's (or at least notable ones) are all like Anime lovers?
Actually I went into training mode just now, Using either Armor Piercer or Slant Shot lets Zero get an extra Relaunch combo before going for a lightning loop. Also Zero Ryuenjin Cross Counter is invincible and can lead to a ToD, but no one is using that technology because everyone runs Zero on point.

It's tight timing but Zero Ryuenjin also allows Spencer to get an additional Upgrapple depending on the combo you use. It's situational but it's still applicable.

They also have other synergy that makes the duo interesting, Bionic Arm DHC into Sougenmu is a free Lightning Loop , similar to Karsticles doing soul fist loops after Bionic Arm. If the Bionic arm whiffs you're still safe with an install super, generally.

DHCing into Spencer is a little tricky but you can do Rekkouha > Whiff Bionic Arm into Upgrapple and use the Zipline to get another upgrapple, that still does more damage than a raw Bionic arm at full damage scaling.

The other thing you can do is if you want Sougenmu Zero for whatever reason DHC into Bionic Maneuvers and get a Zipline for another upgrapple. Total damage is about 80k less than Rekkouha > Bionic arm DHC but it's interesting.

Of course granted if you're running Zero on point using Spencer isn't a problem from running combo extension, the problem lies in neutral game assist. It's still not as bad a combination as it may seem at first glance.
