Sakonoko, Haitani, Daigo and Tokido in top 8... gonna be HYPE AS HELLA

EDIT: If Daigo can get through Infiltration in his first match, he's gonna win Evo AE2012.

you do realize you cant FADC a fierce uppercut right? 3 of the 4 were all fierce versions.
even considering that those two would somehow give up games at evo is absolutely hilarious

I don't think he cracked. He just thought to himself, what would happen if I do 4 wakeup SRKs? And so he did.

He doesn't play with the win at all cost mindset like back in 2009/2010.

Daigo's 4 shoryus in a row doesn't surprise me at all but you've got a lot of conspiracy theorists screaming "STAGED."
Tokido and Daigo played a first to 100 set, they play offline in the arcades all the time, they really know each other very well. Daigo was just trying to umeshoryu his way out of a bad situation and, frankly, against your training partner(s) shit gets wacky.

Also I fucking love watching high level makoto play. Haitani's IA-axe kicks are godlike. I think he went for a safe jump setup on latif, then followed it up with the same jump setup but a delayed axe kick for counter-hit. Shit was insane.

Did you wake up with a thin layer of semen all over your face from Seth Killian going on, and on, and on, and on, and on about how emotional and teary the whole scene makes him and how Daigo plays SSFIV like Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel and not to win or high tier? And how all he ever wanted was to see boys and girls of different skin color playing fighting games together.... ugh

*edit: Is that Evil Mike Ross with dat goatee??

Glad theyre adding Elena, cant wait to see how she shapes up. I was hoping she'd have been one of the new characters added back when Ibuki and the gang went in. Im curious about the mystery 5th character though. According to the announcement the 5th character is new to Street Fighter, but this photo was posted up on destructoid's article about the changes. No lack of speculation I guess, hope more info comes soon.

Bizazedo · Jul 14, 2013

Been hearing rumors about it being King Cobra, but who knows.

Already 74k viewers for KoF at this hour, sf4 numbers are gonna be insane...

Time for a nap and back for Marvel baby !

Araxen · Jul 14, 2013

KOF has been godlike today.

Intrinsic · Jul 14, 2013

Yeah, KOF has been real fun to watch. 86k viewers at the moment, and 720+ is unwatchable for me with lag

Korrupt · Jul 14, 2013
