Don't be foolish

Spooky can't set us free

So we must #RiseUp

:O :O

I liked how casually the PR guy dropped #RiseUp into his closing speech before introducing Ono. It was pretty natural.

 

[mbpm1]

I wish Daigo had won. The finals sapped some of my hype.

Although tbh, after Kazunoko 3-0'd Xian we all knew the game. Crazy that the one who came closest to beating Kaz was 801 wasnt it?

 

[Vex_]

Yun is a fucking ugly character

That is all

He represents everything that is wrong with sf4. Props to kaz recognizing the cheapness in him tho.

Daigo saw it when he played him for a bit, but he wanted to fight fair. So he picked a more balanced character.

 

[Rainy]

Momochi looked kinda out of it the last few tournaments. Also there was that bizarre set he had against Fuudo at Canada Cup where he did all that weird shit.

 

[mbpm1]

That battle was between who can focus cancel into damage more effectively. Fitting for SF4's end

Full focus from half screen too strong

New stage has Juni/Juli and a Delta Red member in the background.

 

[crash-14]

Am I crazy or Juni and Juli are in the background of that new stage?

And he went 0-2! Crazy how I feel every SF4 tournament comes down to who draws who in the brackets.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I was hoping for a Yun mirror. Daigo did play Yun right?

 

[Randomselect]

Kazunoko is a monster and deserved his win. A long time consistent player who I just really enjoy watching. Also, one of the few players in this tournament with nothing in front of their name.

Spoiler

Valmaster doesn't count.

 

[Rentahamster]

So what's the deal with the party at Foundry?

 

[kasane]

good enough to be top 4 evo when yun was broken

 

[Passive Assassin]

nice seeing gafbats crew at capcom cup.

Oh shit, it's a Delta Red base

Santamu and Noembelu pls

LMAO, Daigo dropped his ass when he got nerfed from his god status when AE 2012 patch was released. Kaz was the only one who stuck with him so mad props to him.

 

[mbpm1]

Tbh Kazunoko was due to win something big like this for a while. I know he won that major recently but like one over the world's best.

Nah, Daigo just wanted to pick a top tier as well. He's only picked stromg characters in every game he's played for nearly two dcades.

 

[pixelish]

if you were able to rewrite the timeline of this tournament, what would it be?

-keoma beating snake eyez to face daigo (might be more competitive)
-poongko beating daigo and xian to face kazunoko for a more exciting grand finals
-fword + logan doing commentary for top 8

Daigo winning

 

[Tularensis]

Even though I haven't played SF4 seriously since KOF13 came out, I gotta say I'm a little sad to see it go as a main game. Sure I hated playing the damn thing, but it defined an entire generation of fgs. Capcom Cup was an amazing send off, and this had to have been the most SFIV I've watched in a single day since vanilla. Excellent matches all around.

Bring on SFV

 

[twothunder]

The ceremony and ending were a bit lame indeed
Well earned win for Kazunoko. He was the bigger beast

Still. Nice to see Misse get to fifth place with Makoto
I can hope she appears in SF5 eventually but it will probably take a long time before we see Makoto in SF5 though .. if at all.

Lets hope SF5 in general will be good

Didn't even notice that at first.

[WesternHeretic]

Damn bro you aight?

I'm great. Seahawks won and Daigo losses.

 

[Vex_]

Lol guys I was joking. I thought the whole "he wanted to fight fair" would've gave away my sarcasm lol!

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm great. Seahawks won and Daigo losses.

I took my losses pretty hard. Still though, the high level of play from all the players is just too amazing to watch. I'm still in awe at every decision making from each of them.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Do we have a list of the winners for tonight?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Daigo had the air attacks almost spot on. If he used Ryu with the double hit air, would Daigo be able to counter better after the hits? Meaning if he connected the double hit to a fireball or uppercut?

Eryu has that as well

 

[mbpm1]

Maybe he thought it wouldnt come out in time/be too far

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Capcup2015 delivered. Good stuff. Super impressed with how well Misse and Keoma did.

Which L? You took a lot today.

[PureYeti]

Is this the intro? https://youtu.be/7HLjfp3ZmxU

I would replay again because the music is good

 

[sf2fanatic]

Eryu has that as well

Shocked he didn't use that instead of the jab

 

[HardRojo]

Great tournament and I'm stoked to see what's coming next year with SFV.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Shocked he didn't use that instead of the jab

Jump jab starts up faster and has more active frames. It's a safer choice in this air to air situations. Plus Evil Ryu's jump mp just isn't as good a other juggle attacks in this game like Seth's. You often don't get both hits or pop them up the way you want to unless your opponent is in a certain range and height compared to you.

 

[pantsattack]

Well, I found out Fword + Logan are outstanding at commentary. Oh, my days!

 

[KidA Seven]

well hopefully sf5 daigo picks ryu

I'm hoping he uses one of Urien, Guile, or Ryu. I really want to see his Guile again.



Disappointed and surprised at the prize money for next year's pro tour. You would think they would put more money into their new game over the game that was 7 years old. Hopefully there is some crowdfunding.

Wonder if Sony did a multi-year sponsorship and it was all assigned years ago.

 

[jwhit28]

This tournament was sort of bittersweet. I wonder how many top guys won't bother making the transition to SFV.

Kaz just have great quick reads..

the ones who don't care for money.

 

[Rentahamster]

Whoa so the players can as well?

That's extremely awkward. I know the fighters can hear them then? Because they say soulcrushing things when one is losing.

The players are supposed to wear headphones, but some don't.

 

[Satch]

question: is capcom cup a big tournament like Evo? i dont know anything about fgc outside of Evo, thanks in advance for any answers

 

["God's Beard!"]

Poongko looked physically sick and was playing really sloppy most of his top 8 run. Pressure must have got to him.

He looked unbeatable when he played Momochi.

Some would argue that it's bigger than Evo, but that's mostly because of the prize value.

Capcom Cup is like the March Madness of Street Fighter. During the year players earn the right to be in Capcom Cup by doing well in other tournaments (EVO, CEO, etc.)

Here's where I was sitting. It was the best tournament I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot.

its new (started in 2013 iirc) so it doesnt have the prestige that evo does. still its the first time the developer have actively put money into the scene in a big way so its def up there with evo as most important tournament of the year for sf players. way more money involved.
