About the SBO '08 "live" stream

[Saotome Kaneda]

There is a feed this year. IT IS NOT A 100% LIVE FEED. There are a few live matches here and there(usually what they consider exciting enough to air out of all the matches in that event playing at the time), interspersed with great matches from past SBOs and other goodies.

The schedule is here

http://www.famitsu.com/tougeki08final/

Its going to be running from 9:30am to 8pm. There are also instructions on this page for a special media player that is required.

The general schedule for the games is located at the top of this and the following page. Use Google Translate/Babelfish/Perapera-kun (http://perapera.wordpress.com/)(In-line Translator Addon for Firefox users, dictionary file needed, link included) to find your game of choice so you're not on at the wrong time.

ANGRY MOD EDIT: FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT AN EASY WAY TO SEE THE SCHEDULE AND KNOW WHAT TIME THINGS ARE ON IN JST (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=5443138&postcount=48)

Click on the link that says "Launch Windows Media Player", which will lead you to the page quoted below:
Located here

http://www.famitsu.com/tougeki08final/live.html
It's based on a p2p method, so please:
anyone who's interested in watching this, please free up all of your upload bandwith while you're watching. No eMule, no torrents, nothing. You can live with it fore a few hours, and it will make the stream go fluid and enjoyable for everyone (including yourself).

Once you get to that page, WAIT. It may take a few minutes for the install window to pop up. From there it's simple.

SAVE THE PROG TO YOUR HD. When you are ready to watch just run it. No other special steps.


GUIDELINES

1. It only works in IE. I don't know why. Just use it.
2. DON'T FUCKING UPLOAD ANYTHING FROM THE STREAM TO ANY OTHER SITES. I don't care if you record, but for the love of god don't be the one to fuck this up for everyone by ULing parts of the stream.
3. Be courteous, free up your UL and don't use other p2p shit while you stream this.
4. Chances are if they get fucked again there WILL NOT BE ANY STREAM NEXT YEAR.

IF YOU GET DISCONNECTED GO HERE

[BoggleMinds]

Whilst my Japanese sucks, it seems to me that the message is saying the exact opposite -- there will be no live stream like last year. It even says that in the first sentence.

　昨年、実験的に実施いたしましたライブ配信ですが、今年は同様のライブ配信を行なう予定はご ざいません。

[Ghostal]

Yeah, it's saying they have no plans to broadcast live.

COMMIT HARA-KIRI FOR THIS SOCIAL FAUX-PAS!

[BoggleMinds]

:sad:

Basically the organisers said that not only did the *experimental* live stream cost a lot of money/bandwidth (since it was hugely popular last year), it also provided something of a disincentive for people to not attend the event in person -- thus leading to a drop in ticket sales.

However, it appears that we should "stay tuned" for an update on 12th August (tuesday) regarding the live stream situation (?)

That's my best attempt at summarising the message with my weak-ass Japanese skills. Anyone fluent/semi-fluent care to help?

[Rengoku]

a friend of mine confirm what i've stated:

'all it says is like there will be live streaming and they will release the schedule tuesday'

[wolfox_okamicha]

http://www.capcom.co.jp/tatsucap/info.html

Oooooh! TvC in SBO.

But yeah, it sucks if there won't be any streams. =/

[Overworld]

My japanese is also very bad, but it sounds like they are saying they'd rather you come to the event in person and that there will not be a live stream. Some of the phrasing confuses me though, so I can't be certain, but he goes on about how the experience online isn't like being there.

[Dandy J]

they should make japs pay for the stream and let everyone else watch it for free

edit - Srider in #vfhome said it's basically saying that there will be coverage of some sort, but not the actual entire tournament.

So basically there's going to be interviews, etc. and reports on results. MAYBE they will show some matches, but definitely not the finals or anything that will hurt DVD sales or convince locals not to attend.

[brian]

My (Japanese) girlfriend gave me a rough translation. She said that there will be a live stream, but the content will differ from last year. In particular they want to make the program more accessible to people not familiar with the fighting game scene. So they will have more description of what is going on for noobs. I get the impression that there will also be certain things missing from the stream to encourage people to go to the live event, but I'm not exactly clear what will be streamed in the end. To find out we have to listen to the next announcement which is apparently later today.

[BRPXQZME]

“Last year, we managed to get up an experimental live stream, but this year there are no plans for an identical live stream.

“However, there are plans to continue prompt reporting and quick dissemination of the things that go on at the fighting game tournament that is Tōgeki.

“For that reason, other than the reporting from Arcadia Mobile, there are plans for a news program concerning Tōgeki to be distributed on the Internet. This is very different from last year’s live stream; the many matches will not be something we could say to be relayed in a real-time fashion. Till the very end, for the three days of 15–17 August, there will be a program that keeps pace with Tōgeki ’08 Final at Differ Ariake Arena; there are plans to do a live broadcast from the grounds, but we not be showing you the matches that do not mean very much.”

...

The rest is three paragraphs saying “NO LIVE STREAM. COME HERE; IT’S AWESOME IN PERSON.”

So to sum it up: no live stream. Just some special “programs” for the finals. The schedule for those will be up on the 12th (so basically later today if you live in the U.S.).

[SpinalBlood]

So to sum it up: no live stream.

That sux :sad:

[SF3LP]

IMO its better than nothing at all....last years live stream being expensive RLY payed off though...it was SOOOO hyped but oh well i cant wait for SBO :tup:

[Rengoku]

actually a link show up this morning

http://www.famitsu.com/tougeki08final/

there will be a live feed but the content may be different from last year's

add this to the first post pls

[Overworld]

Just a heads up, they suggest you download the special player in advance, rather than wait to the day of the events as traffic may make it difficult. Don't worry the whole installation is in english.

[Saotome Kaneda]

[Saotome Kaneda]

Located here

http://www.famitsu.com/tougeki08final/live.html

doesn't work on firefox /for me at least), but it's fine on IE. It asks to install a small software. It's based on a p2p method, so please:
anyone who's interested in watching this, please free up all of your upload bandwith while you're watching. No eMule, no torrents, nothing. You can live with it fore a few hours, and it will make the stream go fluid and enjoyable for everyone (including yourself).

ST starting in about 10 hours.
You're kinda late to the party. I'll hook ya up tho.

Did you DL their media player?

[Cronopio]

I can't install that p2p thinghie, any ideas on why it can be? I'm on XP, used IE to view the site and all. It just closes as soon as I try to install it.

Make sure Java's enabled, and that you have at least WMP9. I'll look through the support page over then next few hours to see if I can find anything else.

Edit: Are you on a 64-bit processor?

[Cronopio]

Hm, an installer popped up, but like 15 minutes after I tried to install for the first time lol. I guess the server's overloaded? Let's see how this goes.

[Forte]

I can't install that p2p thinghie, any ideas on why it can be? I'm on XP, used IE to view the site and all. It just closes as soon as I try to install it.

I thought I was having the same problem, but the installer just kicked in like 10-15 minutes later. Kind of like when I installed japanese GGXX. Just give it some time. Oh and if you keep trying to load it they all pop up.

Edit: Wow

[Cronopio]

Oh and if you keep trying to load it they all pop up.

Yeah I'm getting lots of installers now.

[Hol Horse]

active-x also has to be enabled

[lw3]

what time does the first game start?

[Hol Horse]

ST starts first at 10.15 Japanese Time (do your maths)

[mr. newbie]

i just get a media player 9 series loop

[Emil]

Don't forget to record people...I'll be doing my best to record it although it's easy to get disconnected.

[Hol Horse]

i just get a media player 9 series loop

everyone is getting this, the proper stream starts in ~8 hours

[DrAg0nBoY]

Darn I can't install the thing >.<. Like 20 minutes passed since I started the install. I hope it start's at some point :/.

[Aquashark]

how come Japan fails so hard at internets?
crappy formatted and cluttered sites with 1996 layouts, IE only plugins and poor line quality for video streams

[Rengoku]

how come Japan fails so hard at internets?
crappy formatted and cluttered sites with 1996 layouts, IE only plugins and poor line quality for video streams

they're focusing their engineers for the gundam prototype

[Overworld]

Well consider that according to last years statistics only around 30% of people in Japan use a browser other than Internet Explorer.

[Terrastorm]

I always get a little pop-up that says,

"Failed to start movie

Wait a while and reload the page or something like that."

[SF3LP]

perhaps cuz it was too expensive last year :-\

[noskid313]

did Match enter sbo this year?

[EndLeSS8]

What day/time does the finals for 3S start?
Hopefully I can get it, PST

[Aquashark]

perhaps cuz it was too expensive last year :-\what the hell is expensive about a camera broadcasting a video stream on the internet? bandwidth.. in 2008? electricity? transport of equipment? it doesn't have to be something serious, really professional..

i mean there's that arcade in South Korea transmitting SF2 Champion Edition (!!!) matches live almost non-stop.. WTF?????? they don't seem to complain

i watch live streams from LANs with less than 50 people..
how does SBO manage to fail in 2008 considering there's a pretty large interest that would benefit their sponsors as well?

[!(•_•)!]

Is anyone else having trouble getting the media player to install? I downloaded it, but when I run it it just opens a dialog box super fast then closes and does nothing else. The setup.exe process just sits there doing nothing.

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working.

[Ghostal]

Been trying to install this for about a half hour.
IE always gives me bullshit which is why I don't use it, but Japan being the epicenter of interweb fail that it is has to have the shoddiest webstream possible on the shoddiest internet provider since netscape.

[MAGUS1234]

Does anyone have a schedule, and when the games are played in our timezone?

sweet

[Saotome Kaneda]

I like how so many people think there are only a few hundred people watching the stream, and that Arcadia has expendable funds for this like Google/utub.


How many people are watching the Korean CE feed?

How many people do you think watched the Tougeki '07 feed worldwide?

I'm still in the camp of "you should be glad they're even trying".

[nmbr1krush]

Is anyone else getting that windows media movie that keeps looping?

[Nocturnal]

Is anyone else getting that windows media movie that keeps looping?

Yes.

[MAGUS1234]

cause it hasnt started////////

[Saotome Kaneda]

Is anyone else getting that windows media movie that keeps looping?
The reason you're getting that is because nothing has started yet. Be patient.

[SaveFighting]

It's very early in Japan atm, any idea of when things kick off? I'm thinking midday?

[Mixah]

nice

[Terrastorm]

Sorry if I'm being a impatient but...

I always get a little pop-up that says,

"Failed to start movie

Wait a while and reload the page or something like that."

I don't know what's wrong. Is it because of all the traffic or what?

[klone]

If you have a problem with installing the player, try saving the setup.exe to your PC and run it from there. The installation starts up almost instantly after that. At least this worked for me.

[Saotome Kaneda]

Sorry if I'm being a impatient but...



I don't know what's wrong. Is it because of all the traffic or what?
Even if I were to attempt to help you there's nothing to view right now.





HEY GUYS, WHY DON'T WE ALL READ THE FIRST POST TO GET THE INFO WE NEED BEFORE WE POST

And, how did you get it working?
That's the exact same issue I'm getting.

[DarkNecrid]

Save it to your PC and run it.

Also IE7 works, I use it.

[KayinNasaki]

Just wait. It popped up to install for me like 5 minutes later.

[Saotome Kaneda]

I'm updating the first post now so posters like you that don't read the thread won't get confused.



If I come off as angry it's because that's my #1 pet peeve on this site. This thread isn't even 100 posts long yet, it's not hard to skim through it.

[PozerWolf]

Just wait. It popped up to install for me like 5 minutes later.
Yeah, just saw that not.

Odd, oh well looks like it's installing.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method: db_error->provides() in /home/tougeki/tougeki01/program_files/common/baseDAO.class.php on line 170

Working perfectly for me.

[Kajoq]

So. If I go to famitsu's homepage. I can see the tiny SBO feed on the frontpage... but I still can't get the big one. Sonova

[Nocturnal]

I'm guessing they are putting a limit to how many people can watch the stream from the looks of it. It's working good for me and looks like they are doing Tekken 6 last chance quals ATM.

[Shifty Nevers]

[Nocturnal]

Looks like it's finally starting showing a intro thing.

[SiMan]

If it says "now loading", does that mean the server is busy? or have i not setup the thing properly. It's been like this for aaaaages!

[FallingEdge]

Fuck. Everytime I go to the live stream link, I get redirected to the SBO main site.

Damn damn damn.

[JAMMAR]

The voices keep echoing on whoever is speaking on the mic, anyone else get this?

[ha-dou-ken]

Yeah, I don't think I'm on acid...I've been wrong before though.
I wonder how they're going to make it morescrub friendly.Like instant madden replays?With tv marker? BOOm!

[MAGUS1234]

less yappin more fightin

[DarkNecrid]

yes its echoing because they have speakers his voice is coming out of too imo

[Snatcher]

The announcer in the black coat looks familiar, anyone know who he is?

[MAGUS1234]

He looks like one of the dudes that was on team japan in Bang the Machine

[!(•_•)!]

The main announcer is the announcer for every year. The dude with the huge hair works for Arcadia Magazine and helps put SBO on (I think his name is Kawajiri-san?)

EDIT: Wait, Watson and Cole didn't go to Japan? I saw Team Who? in the listings.

[ha-dou-ken]

REady???!!Fight!!!

[FallingEdge]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Man, I had to reset my router cause I wanted to DL Bionic Commando Rearmed and now when I try the stream link, it doesn't work.

[KMD]

I keep getting bounced to the main page. I had it going since 6PM CST, then it froze and I can't get back. I've got UG and WMP 10 going.

[BoggleMinds]

[Emil]

The didnt show a lot of matches last year, so who knows...

It was a live feed...in the first rounds, they have multiple rounds going simultaneously so it's not really possible to capture all that in a live feed unless they split screens.

[KMD]

Sweet, we get signal.

'03 ST?! Interesting.

[Saotome Kaneda]

Could someone confirm this, I mean if I'm 8 hours behind. Just to make sure

[SF3LP]

the guy playing guile is kurahashi and yes i would say he is a god next to muteki

Hey, my family is from Nicaragua too. :D

[KMD]

Anyone else notice the voice pitch being a good octave lower than usual?

It's tripping me out to hear manly!Chun in here.

[rikstron]

Speaking of which, what happened to Kurahashi? Did he quit playing? He's my fav ST player.

There are also instructions on this page for a special media player that is required.

in japanese...

[Hol Horse]

the stream sucks so far... only match shown was 1st turn Taira/Shiro vs Danjiri Dhalsim/Saitou
(GREAT fight btw)

then they replayed the top 4 of sbo1 st and sbo5 hsf2, wtf???


Both USA teams out on first round

Last Chance qualifier team featured AFO (Blanka) and Professor Jones from france!!!! They also won the first round.

[SaBrE]

worst fucking stream ever

[deadfrog]

Here's the schedule converted to Pacific Time.

in japanese...

You have selective reading? It says:
Once you get to that page, WAIT. It may take a few minutes for the install window to pop up. From there it's simple.

SAVE THE PROG TO YOUR HD. When you are ready to watch just run it. No other special steps.


Reading the whole post generally helps.

Man, I'm getting disconnected like every 5 seconds now. Shit sucks. Have they gotten into 08 game footage yet, anyone who can actually stay connected? :(

[popo187]

If anyone's interested, a bunch of ST players are gathered in the GGPO Super Turbo room (for discussions).

[SF3LP]

right.I was confusing him with muteki.

Hey, my family is from Nicaragua too. :D

haha nice man....i guess im not alone lol

Hai, ehhhhhh

LMFAO!!!! i was thinkin the SAAAME thing when i saw him :rofl:

[EveryFlowerFlow]

worst fucking stream ever


pretty much.

[nomrah]

Damn is that it for ST? Just that one match huh.

[Hyuga]

One match of Virtua Fighter 5:R coming up? Joy!

[FallingEdge]

Vf5:r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[Ramza126]

Shouldn't it be T6 now?

[Kyokuji]

Wtf is this VF5:R stuff? It doesn't sound live.

[DarkNecrid]

It's a stream, but they changed it up this year with more reports, interviews, and select matches from the previous SBO's during certain live matches so people will buy the DVDs!! There is still live matches, but less of them so you'll buy the DVDs.

[lw3]

oh man was that stream horrible. i guess the japanese arent that ahead of us in tech. (jk) im going to watch some olympics online. sbo will be on youtube soon enough

[zerodotjander]

Final 4 for ST is
Muteki/Shiki Guile/Boxer
YuuVega/Noguchi Dic/Claw
Tamashima/Hakase Boxer/Sim
Otochun/ARG Chun/Claw

I like Otochun/ARG to take it.

[Ramza126]

So there not going to show all of 3s or any other game for that matter? That sucks, why is it worth watching then?!

[DarkNecrid]

So there not going to show all of 3s or any other game for that matter? That sucks, why is it worth watching then?!

Because you want to see some of the matches and buy the DVD's and not rip these guys off so you get better streams next year....right? :D

Also, it depends dude. They showed a ton of VF5R matches so far, so.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE FIRST POST(i.e: NO wah wah this feed sucks why can't I get all the action for free then never get the DVDs posts) LET ME KNOW

[deadfrog]

Here's the schedule again in Pacific Time for anyone who missed it last page.
http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sbo08pttb3.png

For the record, they're not showing most of the live matches. They're haphazardly switching up between, footage from past SBO's (mostly) and live matches. There are also some interviews with players from this year and reports of live results. We've also had a sprinkling of DVD advertising, trailer hype, and down-time (a still logo).

That '07 VF5 draw round was really cool, by the way. :lol:

[subt-L]

i was more or less asking about the st finals.

[codyk]

why can't I get all the action for free then never get the DVDs

For people that aren't completely cheap bastards, the dvds are already starting to be available for pre-orders:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-19-49-en-15-togeki+%2708.html

Maybe if they sell enough they'll stream more than 4 matches next year . . .

The dvds are too expensive. When they make things that expensive, it's begging to get downloaded.

I also didn't like the fact that the last year dvd was missing the crowd noise.

[Ramza126]

Oh, so they're not gonna show all of 3s? This sucks. I'm cheap

[noodalls]

Like there's a right price to prevent piracy. :arazz:

[orochi ryu]

got the feed going, Its better than nuttin'.

Am definetly getting the dvd now....they got me.

[Sleepy Zero]

I buy SBO DVDs every year, you gotta support so the tournament can keep happening. I'm grateful I at least get to seem some SBO action live.

nice excuse for piracy there asshole.

[forgenjuro]

I dont know why yall bitching so much.

Stream works perfectly well here in JAPAN you know since the stream is coming from JAPAN. Maybe that has something to do with it!?!?

and so damn many of you dont read everything in the first post. SO READ THAT SHIT!

bunch of ungrateful bitches. you know they didnt have ANY streaming whatsoever until last year?

[Dandy J]

Like there's a right price to prevent piracy. :arazz:
it sure as fuck aint 70 bucks

[Nocturnal]

Now they are showing food...making me hungry.

[orochi ryu]

damn, that guy is hungry lol

[Tatsujinken]

that was some bomb ass curry

(yes, they showed a guy eating CURRY for like 2 minutes, it's great)

[fobi0]

Man, that guy fucking inhaled his food.

Haha!!!


KEBABOO!!!

[DaFeetLee]

Why are all their voices so deep?

[forgenjuro]

guy with the beer at the kebab joint is Chibita, last year's VF5 champion.

He lost this year before the final 4 unfortunately. Hes my fav VF5 player.

Kebabs are bomb btw.

[Raph_Stryker]

lol at "Special Mayonaise" :rofl: :rofl:

[yungb254]

that was random, yet so funny.

[Cynistar]

special mayonaise was lol
but i think the bottom option was garlic mayonaise :confused:
sounds gross as hell

[fobi0]

Ohhh ok, I thought it was him.

Did Ohsu attend this year? Or any other previous years? His Akira is so good :O!!!



PS: For those you don't like to wait around for a certain game, do what I do.

1. Get your sister's baby monitor.
2. Put input monitor next to speakers.
3. Carry around the output monitor.
4. ???
5. Profit!!!

[deadfrog]

Aaaah, I turn it off for twenty minutes and I miss curry and mayonnaise ads?!

Right now they're just showing a large panned-out live shot of the stage itself. It's funny, all past footage I've ever seen made the whole floor setup look so clean and well-organized but really there are machines and cords and fences and chairs and people all over the place, like they just threw the event together in an abandoned arcade scrapyard warehouse. Even with a red velvet carpet in the land of the rising sun, arcades are ghetto by nature. :rofl:

edit: although the giant 4-screen hanging from the ceiling officially makes it the nicest warehouse ever

[noodalls]

No, it isn't 70 bucks.

Xiao player is a girl for your info. dont know the name

We're lucky it's not three days of shitty techno music and "Buy DVD!!" looped over and over again. Tekken 6 matches are on right now.
