They're all grinding the game. Their online pool is so much better than America's. People go to MOV's gaming house and the Gods Garden house for practice too. Plus the Topanga boys practice offline too.
Is Mago no longer MCZ? I see he's signed up as FRB Mago

KI is actually Tokido's main game now, so US will stay free in that
Sonicfox is our only hope

I didn't watch the last Topanga episode. Maybe he said something about it on there. Not sure.

Hilarious ineptitude of the US in fighting games that aren't only played by themselves aside, Tokido is the truth. Why am I trying to play Vega when Tokido isn't even playing Vega?
Tokido said he was going to play KI.
KidA Seven

Because Nemo is playing Vega and his vega is sick.
That's going to be his side game like KOF. Which still means that he will be godlike if he does put time into it.

Whose channel was this on? I stopped paying attention because I heard team Japan vs team America wasn't going to be streamed and now I missed the whole thing. I at least want to watch the vod now.

Things were looking pretty decent earlier today when Ricki, Justin, and Fchamp beat Kazunoko's team. But now people got to see Tokido's Ryu...and now things don't look so good. He ran through five US players, including LI Joe, and I don't think they managed to even get a round on him.

I personally wasn't expecting the gap to be that wide, as godlike as Tokido is. Though tomorrow/sunday will probably
hopefully

is this legit?

we'll find out tomorrow, we don't know who's sandbagging
but chances are I think US is still free
but chances are I think US is still free
My assumptions:
- No early arcade version unlike SF4, and Japanese must practice in arcades! (bad stereotype sorry)
- Socializing for console practice sessions is something US might do more?
- US/EU players practiced the crap out of the cracked beta
- Japanese no likey PS4, smaller player pool
- Kindevu also said Japanese have no advantages this time
I need to book CEO stuff now lol. It's gonna be insane.

Have no idea how they're gonna fit in EVO in a single weekend. SFV pools-top 8 probably gonna be running from Friday morning till past Saturday midnight.
And people wondered why SFIV wasn't there.
Given Madcatz current dire financial situation I wouldn't be surprised if they've dropped all of their sponsorships of players and events.
After they kidnap some Chun Li players, the rounds can be over quickly.
Pools 1-8 are 8am (which btw, wasn't announced until an hour ago). So Bonchan, Haitani, and Kazunoko are all playing at 8am.
Aside from Tokido the gap doesn't seem too bad from what I saw in the team tournament. The players who always do well against foreign players will still do well most likely.

Are the times posted somewhere? Driving there now....
The Final Round twitter account tweeted out 90 minutes ago that pools 1-8 will be at 8am, then the next 8 pools two hours later, and so on throughout the day. (source)
Also, this only applies for SFV. I have no idea when pools for other games are.

I found the full Tokido VS Team BBC set here :

That was... Ridiculous. I can't wait to see what happens this week-end.

Tokido is playing Ryu, and he's a man I trust to tier-whore.
The amazing part was he was literally like 3/3 with his parries. He only uses them when he's 100% sure of what's coming. He is going to turn into a brick wall by evo.
