"almost" is just a word for losers to feel better about themselves

Spoiler

Kappa

seriously though, with Tournament Standard Time™ in effect USF4 pools won't start until 4:30 at the earliest will it

More bracket dumbassery. Get it together, FGC.

What happened?

They're just late and disorganized as always. Ultra's running late because they weren't done making them.

it's just teams bro. no need to be so upset.

Oh, yeah they had on site registration allowed. I don't really see the big issue?

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

this year's ncr intro is now up on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OI_WKc1E7I

Nothing will ever surpass this intro.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I demand a refund

 

[Kimosabae]

Does Chris G sincerely play MvC2? The kid is a Gawd. That game is hard to go back to after Marvel 3, especially if you never really played it much prior.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

We got Hellpockets on teamsp00ky

 

[TheThunder]

Nothing will ever surpass this intro.

This guy knows what's up.

Close second goes to the one that had Run DMC.

 

[phaonaut]

forgot justin ever played she-hulk

 

[pixelish]

hellpockets commentating sf4 is pretty bizarre to me lol

 

[CountBlack]

Deejay's U1 is so trash


actually deejay is trash

 

[Rainy]

Family trip to Reno gonna make me miss most of this.
At least I'll catch Sunday.

 

[kasane]

Deejay's U1 is so trash


actually deejay is trash

What a shocking revelation

 

[CurlyW]

Uhhh, why is this 2 out of 3 sets?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I really like his voice

 

[El Sloth]

Probably because it's single elim.

I think it would have been fine if they had just done it SBO style.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Chris G 6-0 over Team Random DP

Single elim with 2/3 sets is arguably longer to run than double elim with single sets.

 

[El Sloth]

That NCR trailer was pretty cool.

...shame that the first time I'm seeing it is at NCR.

Single elim with 2/3 sets is arguably longer to run than double elim with single sets.

Maybe not many teams signed up and they felt it was fine? I don't know. I personally think it being 2/3 is sort unnecessary for a team competition anyways, but that's just me

 

[Mokubba]

The GOAT of all intros. Nothing else comes close.

Had it as my ringtone for so long lol.

RIP the schedule

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Snake Eyez huggin everybody.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Spooky said it was double elim, was he mistaken?

 

[haunts]

Nothing will ever surpass this intro.

my finest work. it was all down hill from there. lol

 

[Uzzy]

I was enjoying that Viper play from Alexis, but running up into SnakeEyez there was painful.

 

[Unlucky]

Spooky said it was double elim, was he mistaken?

Yes, he corrected himself later

 

[Kimosabae]

I'm sorry but that Viper is trash.

According to the schedule, USF4 singles pools start at 4pm PT. It is currently 1:52 PT and because of 2/3, they're still on the first round of USF4 teams.

They're still on the first round because it started an hour late.

How many more matches is 2/3 single elim compared to 1 set double elim?

 

[SloaneRisette]

Nothing will ever surpass this intro.

Was hoping for this and wasn't disappointed

 

[Hellshingu]

Are pools going to be delayed until 6ish you think? Or are they just going to start them offstream until 3v3 is over? I'd prefer them later as I'll be home from work by then and can stream them on my TV.

Assuming n entrants

Double Elim, Single Set: Minimum 2n-2 sets, Maximum 2n-1 sets
So if there are 32 teams, there will be either 62 or 63 sets played.

Single Elim, Best of 3 Sets: Minimum 2n-2 sets (all matches are 2-0), Maximum 3n-3 sets (all matches are 2-1)
So for 32 teams, there will be between 62 and 93 sets played.

It's on a separate stream. Pools will be on Capcom Fighters and teams will be on Teamspooky. It might start on time.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Sako playing Guy?

Oops nvm lol

Watching stream on my fone

Ah okay. I know there's going to be some crossover between players, just didn't know if they were going to shuffle things around to start pools at 4pm or not. Guess we will find out when it's closer to 4pm.

Everybody but Kitasenju DJ is trash. Only Deejay I've played that made me think T.hawk vs Deejay is actually a bad match-up.

Did he make it out of pools tho?



Also.. this multi set team matches are too much.

Got Abel'd. I talked with him before and he can't beat Shiro, probably the best Abel player in Japan, so he's got an achilles' heal right now. That and it was first overseas tourney. He went even with pretty much everyone else or whompped on folks in casuals including Kazunoko. Dude has the meatiest cross-ups, lol

 

[Unlucky]

Team tournament is already close to Top 4, apparently
