Bring on the hype. This one is star studded.

 

[KidA Seven]

Daigo is going to be sent to losers by PR Rog's boxer.

[toddhunter]

Daigo is going to be sent to losers by PR Rog's boxer.

As long as it isn't a certain somebodies Dhalsim, I think we'll take that.

 

[FourMyle]

We in there!

i doubt any other event until Evo and later Cap Cup itself will be as hype as this. This tournament is fucking stacked and I implore anyone with an interest to watch.

Daigo is going to be sent to losers by PR Rog's boxer.

[Sayad]

Last week Aries said he'll try to do ATV live from Final Round with Markman as a guest. Anyone know when/if that's going to happen?

 

[Busaiku]

Wasn't this supposed to be Blackule's time to shine.

[KidA Seven]

We're hyped for some SF breh

 

[Parallax Scroll]

This has got to be one of the most stacked open-entry tournaments of all time outside of Evo.

 

[LowParry]

When's Tekken 7?

 

[StriKeVillain]

No one is hyped for Marvel?! Come on...

I'm always hype for marveru. Bring it on.

Stacked tournament indeed! Hopefully they don't pull an EVO and stream only like 10% of the high profile matches for USF4.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Momochi coming for that paycheck.
