MAD SPOILERS:
EG | MOMOCHI has won. Thank god for that, I personally cannot stand seeing OP Rose and Luffy dominate my favorite players and characters time and time again.
United States fan favorite Snake_Eyez_ got double eliminated real quick. He got outplayed in nearly every round he participated in and looked really nervous and out of element especially given the dominating performances he has given in the last year or two.
My personal favorite Japanese fighters Daigo "The Beast" Umehara and "Bonchan" Masato Takahashi, had decent showings. Daigo dominated EG | JustinWong, which is suprising given his Evo victory, but and fell short in the end to PR Balrog. Bonchan was not impressive in his first match vs Fuudo's Fei Long however Sagat came through in the losers' bracket getting a win. In the end however, Daigo and Bonchan were eliminated. Shame.
Team Evil Genius had a strong showing and accounted for a lot of the contestants including PR Balrog, Ricky Ortiz, Justin Wong and Momochi.PR Balrog had an instant classic match vs. Infiltrations' Akuma but lost do to his not mapping of a three punch button. (which is weird considering the fact that there were TWO button checks). EG Won the tournament with Momochi at the first spot, PR Balrog at 5th, Ricky Ortiz tied 9th, and Justin Wong at dead last. EG is OP.
The french blokes Valmaster and Luffy had a decent showing too. Valmaster lost early ( do to an ecolectic pick of Elena no doubt ) but did very well in Losers'. Luffy dominated the tournament until running in to the wall that was Xian. GO XIAN GO.
In actuallity, the Europeans had a magical showing considering that at one point, most of winners thebracket was European with Luffy, Valmaster and the Prodigal Son Ryan Hart at the helm. Ryan Hart used primarily regular Ryu (with a sprinkle of Evil) and was really impressive for a world where even Daigo and Alex Valle have moved on to better (more evil) Ryus.
I did not speak much on Xian or Infiltration even know they did end up very high in the tournament results because I feel there wasn't much to say. They did their thing and picked very, very good counter picks to their oponents.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
CHARLIE IS IN STREET FIGHTER V!!! Is that even exciting, Guile part two.........oh well. Maybe Street Fighter V will be more story driven...*Snickers*.
Overall, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to see my favorite guys succeed, but oh well. It was a great show and hey Mike Ross. Can't go wrong with Mike Ross.
Best,
Matsura
