So technically this thread should have been closed about 250 pages ago (standard SRK policy: lock at 500 pages, create a new thread). The release of the Evo brackets seems like the perfect time to fork to a new version of this thread.

Didn't see anybody make it so...

EVO Brackets: http://shoryuken.com/evo2012/brackets/

If you'd like to suggest a stream, please PM me - there's no guarantee I'll see your post. Thx.

If you know of any streams you think should be added, just post them or PM me and I'll update the first post.

Warpticon

Don't forget to c/p the first post of the original thread and reference it in the topic if possible...maybe that'll slow down some of the "hey what are you watching" from people popping in on page 232 during a major.

With 86 pools they couldn't separate 2 Toronto area players?? No matter - looking at the bracket construction I won't play him unless he beats Kbeast and I see him in Winners' Finals or I lose to Kbeast and I see him in Losers' Finals.

The only player I recognize in my SF4 pool is Ricky O and he's on the other side of the bracket but I don't care about that game anyway.

Yeah, his last post was Jun 9. That isn't that long, but OP doesn't really matter.

My Evo pools, finding them without a search was fun, yay multiple browser tabs.

SiriusBlack

Copy+paste unorganized pools first look:

Chris G, Crizzle (where has that guy been), and Airtola in the same pool. If Gary and Chris G both make it out in winners we will see the Final Round runback. Floe in "Runaway Magneto's" pool. Hopefully get to see some DrDoomKills. Rikir in JWong's pool. ShadyK v. Abegen first round (Momo, you better make your man win)... and Roachking and Jan in that pool, good luck Japan (poor ETR). lmao... local Morri/Doom player has to play Yipes first round. Momochi and Jint, same side of their pool. TMNTemps other side. Zak Bennett and Combofiend same pool. X-Ray and Dios-X first round, with F Champ in the pool. Friend of mine in Kubo's pool. Nerdjosh v. Predator first round. Clockwork v. Whitebl4ck first round... Covina Kid and Tha Guy in that pool. Eliver v. 10Stars first round, Smokemaxx, Stumblebee (good local [Strange AND Chris] player), and GCYoshi in that pool. Luvcheez v. JJJ first round, Lud and Knives in that pool. Shimada v. local Viper/Akuma/Skrull player, Ricky O. and Vicko in their pool. (Totally random, but two presumed brothers are paired up. Imagine traveling to Evo just to play your brother first round) Fanatiq and Tokido same pool. AJ Tucker (cough, beat Ace) in L.I. Joe's pool with Silentknight. TAYLOR GANG in Marlinpie's pool with Choysauce, Jimmy Tran and Felax. Wentinel, Fraud L, Quasidomo and Marvelo in same pool. CJ Showstopper, Mo-Tempest, and Haikuwar same pool. In hindsight, this could've been much more organized, but fuck it.

EsportsOfSarus

Definately could've been a lot more organized based on SiriusBlack's post. Abegen is gonna disappoint a lot of fans when he doesnt go through.

edit: I also hear a lot of bitching about people not being regionally split. Whelps! People gotta deal with it.

Warpticon

I like how Toki and Zak are in the same pool. What, you couldn't spread the Firebrands out more than that?

I think KJunk said he got vortexed into Diablo 3.

May his soul rest in piece. Only to be revived by a party member.

Do any of you Brtish players have a list of who's going from England? Zak Bennet is known. I asked BulbaMike on one of his YT videos and he said he didn't know.

Hmm...

WhiteBl4ck is french, as far as I know.

And me whenever I start really practicing and learn how to use her in all the different matchups. Just fought against Fourthstar's Magneto/Missiles stuff and I was not ready for all of that shit on the screen. I don't wanna go to a beam assist yet so and it'll teach me to learn to use my M thunder knuckles more any way. Seismo cancel to M thunder knuckle i'm sure can blow through a good bit of typical spam.

I've fully endorsed anchor Viper since vanilla. If she wasn't so ridiculous on point, I think she'd be in the top five most used anchors. Her XF is just friggin' dumb.

i'm still trying to decide what approach to take. whore my new extremely top tier team Viper/Nova/Strider even tho my Viper & Strider are week 2 tops and my Nova/Strider cohesion leaves a lot to be desired.. or play my way worse team of Nova/X-23/Akuma and just cheese people out with their total lack of x23 matchup knowledge

That Forward guy on FGTV last week was GOOD. Rocking that SRK Theory team Viper/Doom/Strider too.

ShadyK plays Mag/Vergil/Doom now and I'm quite sure he has what it takes to beat anyone in his pool.

I see ABEGEN and Roachking coming out of that pool.

Oh yeah forgot about Forward.

I'ma die laughing if Runaway Magneto gets on stream. Can't complain cuz his name tells you what he's gonna do.

@ OP, can you add twitch.tv/boomgorillas to the "not east or west coast" portion? It's our major streaming group down here in Texas, would really appreciate it.


Also, thank you very much for posting that up. For awhile I could see the brackets just not search for myself, now it won't even show the brackets anymore ;_;

SiriusBlack

Just to clarify, "Runaway Magneto" was a nickname. He's just adopted it since Final Round. Didn't have one beforehand. And he doesn't really run away... he just ran away from Iron Fist and Wolverine.
