Mikado Open Revelator Tournament (courtesy of Joule)

Speaking of Xrd players at Evo, Jonio is streaming the Mikado Open (where quite a few of those listed jp players play). It's a double elimination singles tournament and likely the last bit of tournament practice before these players head to Evo. Should be a bit of a preview to what might come next weekend.

Currently it's streaming casuals but the tournament should start in not too long.

Gotta save it for the EVO thread when Snake makes his comeback

 

[CrackPebbles]

Great job on the OP!

I can't wait to see what adaptions Momochi could have made since CEO to deal with Tokido.

 

[Tripon]

Floe is live, but Capcom Fighters isn't yet.

Edit: It's not a FGC tournament if it's not running on Tournament Standard Time.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Tourney is starting in an hour

Capcpom pls

 

[Producer]

tourney looking stacked. Looking forward to seeing more of RB's Alex.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Stream is live!

Will probably be starting soon.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Well, this was a nice surprise. First I've heard of this tournament is today, and it's a powerhouse event. Kind of annoying it starts Thursday night over here, rather than Friday night.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Balrog on stream!!!!

And they lost

 

[Subitai]

Did they if Kimsoda was going to EVO? First time I've seen her.

 

[KennyL]

Premiere ass shit right here lol. Top production.... Koreans need to run asian premiere.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Really hope production steps up for Top 32 tomorrow. Pools were extremely rough to watch (though Floe's commentary made it much more bearable)

 

[sixteen-bit]

Xian finally ditching FANG for a real character :V

Thanks for pointing that for me tho lol

Are there any FANGs left?

In this tourney? Just Xian, and who knows for how long considering Ibuki's out. Wouldn't be surprised if after EVO both him and SonicFox switched.

 

[woodypop]

Top 32 for tonight

Thanks for the recap. Looking forward to tonight's matches!

 

[Immortal Technique]

Looks like we're going live shortly

 

[Chase17]

Will try to catch some of top 32 before sleep.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Won't be home for about 30 more minutes. Hope i dont miss anything too good.

 

[Immortal Technique]

And we're off with Eita vs Tokido!

 

[Immortal Technique]

Tokido sent to losers. Eita is relentless, man.

 

[Chase17]

Kazunoko just clutched out that round.

Edit: Then the set.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Xian pls no ;_;

XIAN YES

 

[JayEH]

Nooooooo momochi

 

[skLaFarebear]

HOLY SHIT those hit confirms!

Go1 playing out of his mind.

 

[RedEther]

Is GO1 going to Evo next week?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Xiao Hai really outfootsieing Gamerbee

 

[RaySpencer]

So this is just SFV?

 

[RedEther]

[sixteen-bit]

Gamerfree

Xiao Hai didn't break a sweat

 

[Tripon]

Wonder if the Japanese think Birdie is worse than Zangief? So many Birdie players switched to Zangief after the first couple of months.

Also, seeing Fuudo's R. Mika is amazing.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Nuki eliminated by Bonchan
Dakou eliminated by Momochi

 

[skLaFarebear]

Holy shit, Tokido just got eliminated by Poongko.

 

[RedEther]

Poongko with the upset

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Poongko leveled up. I'm happy for him

 

[DryEyeRelief]

OP gave tokido the jinx

 

[Rice-Eater]

Wow, Tokido out before top 8. He lost to Eita and got eliminated by Poongko. Those two are pretty good but I'm still surprised he lost to them. They haven't proven to be in the upper echelon of players so far. But this is 2/3 so their is very little room for error.

 

[pixelish]

guysss tokido is just sandbaggging for evo

 

[skLaFarebear]

OP gave tokido the jinx

Spoiler

All part of the plan

 

[Immortal Technique]

WASHED

 

[plasmawave]

[StriKeVillain]

[DryEyeRelief]
