NERF LAURA. Only ELF should have bullshit 50/50s
Daigo got top 16
More like Infil and Tokido.
Fighting games work so much better on TV than LoL/Dota, especially if looking for a more casual viewer, so this is a goods idea.
FPS/RTS/MOBA are just not good to watch other's play.
Rocket League needs some TV time, its a e-sport, that looks like an actual sport, and I think people would actually enjoy watching it.

Oh, that's good then.
Man, still can't believe how fast those two were out.
They set it up just right so they can have all the top players, all the well known players and restrict it just enough so that the
haters will be left behind.
Going off of the ESPN airings of SFV, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Speaking of, unless Capcom intends on nerfing Laura to the ground in the Season 2.5 balance patch, they may want to consider giving Laura a more conservative alternate costume that'll keep the likes of ESPN & TBS happy.
Her default is fine. TV just hates ass apparently but tits are ok.
Her default is garbo and banning it litterally makes her look better

isn't combo breaker a cpt event this year? who thought it was a good idea to set all this up?
We made it boys!
Street Fighter consistently on TV!
I just need them to do what they do with Olympic Athletes, get a back story/background going for everyone. Maybe talk about life/location. Just make us care for certain players/characters!
It will be hella boring to the casuals if all we saw are matches, matches, and more matches.

Capcom to release ESPORTS outfit DLC with jumpsuits for all the female cast. These skin tight garnments covering everything but the hands and feet (no definition of body features allowed!!!) will feature sponsor/advertisement logos and look super professional!!! Find codes for this new DLC pack in Doritos COOL RANCH packs.
It's near the end of Feb and they still haven't announced details about CPT this year. What level of coordination and planning and competence have you been expecting so far?

I think some of you guys underestimate how difficult this stuff really is.
Planning an international, year long tournament series isn't light work. You have to work with all sorts of moving parts, across all sorts of language/cultural barriers...you have to make sure you have stream crews, Capcom officials, crew, equipment, etc. all squared away months in advance. There's a reason no other fighting game company does anything with the sheer scope of CPT.
We take it for granted, but the fact that they've done this 3 years straight without any major problems is straight up miraculous. I'd say their "coordination and competence" has been great.
Plus, they've already stated that Monday is when all the details for CPT will be revealed.
I'm hoping that since it's a weekly show where 6 of the competitors compete, that we will get backstory and interviews for everyone. Guess we'll see. Pretty stoked though!

Is CB a CPT event? Time for 2nd tier players to come out of the woodwork for those points.
It's a Premier Event.
so people will miss out at points for combo breaker, but $$$ for tbs, and red bull is also $$ but no points. a bit weird piece of timing, huh? Do we think all top 16 will agree to it?
Hope capcom invites li joe
Same here. A great fighting game ruined by crap online.
Anyways, I hope the Japanese gods get in on this. They're taking SFV to new levels.

Throw 5K more so they can patch in a region filter for room search.

@Bri4nF @WinnerStaysOn That part I'm actually okay with. Think of all the new talent (Such as Punk) getting a great shot at CapCup.
He definitely has the right attitude about this

Game launched in 2016 and they can't even mention what they have planned in the works or a more specific ETA. What a joke

I know that others may be upset but I'm going to see all these events on the same weekend as a positive. Having more events with more money is great. The very best will be in Atlanta because they're going after a 6 figure pay check. But you still have 5 figure paychecks to win in France or Illinois for those who are really good but have never stood among the very best.
I really like Rick's attitude and I hope more people feel the same way as time goes on. We'll have plenty of other weekends where we can all focus on one event where everybody will be at. But for this particular weekend I love how everybody has to make hard decisions on where to go. Believe in yourself that you're really the best or go to even where you think it would be the easiest to win a big pay check?
I'm also moving to a town near Atlanta next week. I might try to make the trip there for the finals. I'm glad I'll be living near a city where cool stuff actually happens.

"Rick might be cool with it, but I'm salty. Combo Breaker is one of the best and most fun tournaments of the year and not having the very best is kinda of a bummer."
TBH, my favorite part of Combo Breaker isn't even the main games. Mystery Game and Auction tournaments are the best.

NRS took a year to improve their MKX netcode, and they did it after being completely silent for months.
It took them a year and a half to fix the PC version, and they did it after being completely silent about it for a year.
There were no "specific ETAs" until the update was almost ready.
"What a joke."
How quickly you all forget.
Let's just say other players would be happy if he's there.
