Also Manila Cup is nuts Eita and Haitani sent to losers really early by some Filipino players.
Jacking my own post for the sake of chronological order.

Manila Cup ended last weekend with EG|Justin Wong taking 1st place. This is significant as this is the first time an American has won an event in Asia. 2nd place goes to ZW|GamerBee who I still think people think is a little low key in the new game but he's gotta win at least one event this year. 3rd goes to GGP|Kazunoko who many saw as the most likely top 2 but was displaced by GamerBee (of course). Finally in 4th we have another American in the form of EG|Ricki Ortiz whose Chun-Li play keeps getting better and better. The rest of top 8 were Cola321, HM|Eita, Oil King, and PBE|Don. A couple things to note was Taiwan got 3 in top 8 (GamerBee, Cola321, and Oil King) and also Eita crawling from the loser's bracket all the way from pools to take 5th. Watch it if you missed it it was pretty solid. Haitani was also knocked out early.

Lockdown 2016 also happened over the weekend with a visitor from Japan: BST|Daigo Umehara. Coincidentally he also took first place. In second we have European legend Ryan Hart who also showed off his Guile. In 3rd we have AWS|CCL who is shaping up to be a top European in his own right. Another consistent player in the form of MD|Mister Crimson takes 4th with the combination of both his Dhalsim and Laura. The rest of top 8 are uP|Digos, Alex_Sieg, uP|Twinblade, and Alvin.

The online events for North America and Latin America also happened over the weekend. The winners for those were SOA|Brolynho and PG|FChamp.

Yep. I'll just expand on that real quick.

Japan Cup 2016 is happening over the weekend over in Tokyo, Japan at the Tokyo Game Show. Their tournament style is somewhat different where they have a limit of 256 players while having a list of reserved slots for notable players (international and local top players) and the rest of the spots are obtained through a lottery. Basically top players from around the world along with a mix of Japan's finest. TGS is special in that there is never really an internationally recognized player that wins. Pepeday and Dashio in the past two years have won and were relatively unknown until TGS. We could again see the rise of a new Japanese star. Even more amazing is we could see Bonchan take 2nd three times in a row at TGS.

Stream: twitch.tv/capcomfighters
Bracket: beastapac.challonge.com

We also have Thunderstruck 4 happening over in Mexico. As most of America's top players are over in Japan or the Domincan Republic it's somewhat empty here in North America. Kusanagi, Flash, and FChamp are the most likely winners over here.

Stream: http://twitch.tv/team_sabroso
Bracket: TBA

Speaking of the Dominican Republic, Fighting Fest 2016 is happening this weekend as well. We have the usual Caribbean top players as well as some international players in the form of Dark Jiewa, Snake Eyez, and Dieminion. Top 8 should be fairly competitive and a great watch but the rest not too much.

Stream: http://twitch.tv/gamstreamtv
Bracket: TBA

I'll only be watching TGS, sadly, as ToTH is happening this weekend as well. I'll still check on updates of the other two tournaments to update the post accordingly but this weekend I'll have to take a break with watching 4 tournaments a weekend. So unfortunate.

Daigo said he had finally found his playstyle in this game so he will probably start to perfect that and really become the threat he usually is.

I mostly play SF but I also play some marvel on the dl and have been trying out skullgirls which I hear is like marvel 2 but with a million more resets.

I mean Daigo has won 3 tournaments very recently.

OzHadou Nationals 14 ft. GamerBee, Humanbomb, Itabashi Zangief, K-Brad

Lockdown 2016 ft. Ryan Hart, CCL

E-Sports Festival Hong Kong 2016 ft. Eita, GamerBee, Humanbomb, Xian, Kazunoko, Itazan.

It's really hard to say Daigo sucks considering his legacy. He is definitely still a favorite to win any major and has the results to prove it. But for all I know this could just be a meme :).

edit: lol daigo drowned in pools. It's TGS though but still. MOV, GamerBee, Kazunoko and I believe Poongko for winners top 8. The rest is still being decided.

I don't know if you know what exactly TGS personifies but there has been "random" winners the past two years which gave birth to players such as Pepeday and dashio. TGS is definitely the most random tournament of the year. You can guess on who is going to win other premiers but TGS is definitely the wildcard of the tournament season. These "random" players may be unknown to us but could known in Japan. Speaking of:

Japan Cup 2016 has ended with ZW|GamerBee taking 1st place. In 2nd comes TS|Poongko who has truly started to shine this year as a player. In 3rd is another Cammy in the form of the GGP|Kazunoko. And in 4th we have Rinta an unknown from Japan. The rest of top 8 was MOV, Mago, HM|eita, and Gachikun

Edit:
Thunderstruck 4 ended last weekend with PG|Filipino Champ taking 1st place. In 2nd was local MJ|Gama with his Cammy. In 3rd was Goro_GI and 4th was Strike|Ford Koopa. The rest of top 8 was DSC|Khannibal, TweetingDino, Kusanagi, and Isurus|Pony.

Fighting Fest 2016 also ended last week with local player SP|Crossover taking 1st place. In 2nd was another local player in the form of SP|Menard with Birdie, a character many thought dropped off hard. In 3rd was PandaTV|Dark Jiewa who has probably traveled as much as KBrad it feels now. In 4th is the former People's Champ RB|Snake Eyez with Zangief, still working to make his return. The rest of top 8 was FA|Mono, GAM|DR Ray, SPM| Caba, and Dieminion

I think it's mostly because TGS is the biggest tournament that your average Japanese hidden boss can make reliably without spending a huge amount of money going overseas, etc. Dashio for example was known by Japanese players before winning; many of them were telling the Americans to watch out for him - a true arcade hidden boss. Pepeday was a near-total unknown tho IIRC; just some guy who's happy to have a job and a home life and happened to be really good at Elf on the side. Still, the location is a huge boom for both of them, and they probably didn't have to get time off from their jobs either thanks to the timing.

Awesome to see Poongko adapt to the system and really start to put out results

Watching him drown in pools at Final Round and the tourney straight after was heartbreaking to watch

If you didn't get to watch the Daigo - Ryan Hart final I thoroughly recommend you watch it. Ryan's Guile is the best I think I've seen so far in terms of space control and footsies.

This weekend we have premier event EGX 2016 happening over in Birmingham, England. Winner of this event will get another ticket to Capcom Cup 2016 later this year. Intercontinental players such as GamerBee, Daigo Umehara, Bonchan, Snake Eyez, Nuki, and KBrad are in attendance. The European guard consists of players such as Ryan Hart, Phenom, Luffy, Problem X, CCL, Will2pac, and Mister Crimson are also in attendance. Should be a decent tournament.
pools already started today i forgot sry :(

EGX 2016 ended with ZW|GamerBee taking his 2nd premier of the tournament season. Perhaps this is the rise of the new top player of the game? Capcom Cup will likely be the decided. In any case, in 2nd place was Ryan Hart who continues to show off his experience. In 3rd place is CBZ|Nuki who is bringing back even more old school to the top 8 here. In 4th place is BST|Daigo Umehara who has also shown signs of returning to his former glory. The rest of top 8 were Will2Pac, BX3|Phenom, UM|Hurricane, and PRLS|Packz

Stream: twitch.tv/capcomfighters
Bracket: http://egx.challonge.com/EGX_CPT_2016

We also have Never Give Up happening this weekend over in Chile. While I would agree in saying "why do I care," apparently Tokido and Dark Jiewa are going. Grand finals should be a decent game along with seeing how the best of Latin America handles these players could be interesting.

A very interesting turn events over at Never Give Up 2016 as the winner of the tournament was PandaTV| Dark Jiewa. Everyone thought 2nd place Tokido would be the victor but that was evidently not the case. In 3rd place is SOA|Brolynho who has shown many times that he is in the top echelon of his region. In 4th is DM|Saga with his Guile, the only player thus far to break top 4 with only Guile (Ryan Hart used Ken as well). The rest of top 8 were AnV|Chipp, PHD|Animetal, DM|Baek, and TSD-GX|Pikoro.

First off we have the Abuget Cup 2016 down in Jakarta, Indonesia. Expect top Asian players such as Go1, Yukadon, Eita, and Bonchan to be in attendance.

Stream: twitch.tv/beastapac
Bracket: http://challonge.com/abugetcup2016

Over in Europe we have Fighting Games Challenge 2016 in Poland. You can expect top European player presence but you can't predict the appearances of PandaTV|Dark Jiewa and MOV. It should be an interesting tournament to say the least.

Stream: http://www.hitbox.tv/streetfighterpolska
Bracket: TBA

And finally we have TRETA 2016 down south in Brazil. Expect the usual Brazilian players with the addition of Brook|Misterio.

Stream: http://twitch.tv/trtarcade
Bracket: TBA

And finally the other event I was talking about. ESL's Brooklyn Beatdown. This tournament has gathered the world's top talent for a super sweet prize pool of 75k$. Players to note are Infiltration, Kazunoko, Phenom, NuckleDu, Justin Wong, Xian, and I believe Daigo is supposed to be here but there's like twitchcon and stuff so idk. In any case it should be a super stacked tournament. Other names such as Mago, Snake Eyez, Ricki Ortiz, and Haitani could shake up the entire event as well.

Ok seriously if you're not watching ESL right now and you like street fighter you are missing out.

Notable events so far:
Commander Jesse beats Julio to send him to losers
Brolynho beats Infiltration to send him to losers
Kbrad goes super close against Kazunoko
Mago beats Daigo
alucarD beats Xian
Commander Jesse double perfects Mago in the first game in losers top 12 (and eliminates Mago afterwards)

Last week a slew of stacked tournaments ended.

First off is the big one: ESL's Brooklyn Beatdown.
While not part of the CPT the ESLBB was immensely stacked with a sizeable prize pool. The winner of that was Qanba Douyou|Xiao Hai. In 2nd place who was quite literally one uppercut away from winning was EG|Momochi. In 3rd was Tokido and 4th was YOUDEAL MJS|Haitani. The rest of top 8 was RZR|Fuudo, EG|Justin Wong, Commander Jesse, and SOA|Brolynho

Secondly we had the Abuget Cup down in Jakarta, Indonesia. Quite a few strong players here from the Asian region. The strongest of all today here was HM|Eita who takes 1st place above his teammate, HM|Go1 who achieved 2nd place. In 3rd is VS.FV|KOFMaster with his FANG. In 4th is the legendary RB|Bonchan who is perhaps finding his own strides within the game. The rest of top 8 is YOUDEAL|Yukadon, Shamwow, VS.FV|Chuan, and VS.FV|Shaunw

We also had TRETA 2016 over in Brazil. The winner of that was SFT|Dark817 who takes the first CPT win with Alex. In 2nd is Innova|Keoma who is also starting to show strides in his gameplay. In 3rd is AAG|DidimoKOF and in 4th is FCBR|Ramon. The rest of top 8 was Brook|Misterio, Z4|Hkdesh, SFT|Luvinha, and Brook|Cabelo3000.

And finally we had Fighting Game Challenge 2016 over in Poland. The winner of that was MOV who was unsuccessfully stopped in his invasion of Europe. In 2nd place was RB|Luffy showing off his ever growing consistency. In 3rd we have recurring top 8 player MD|MisterCrimson and in 4th we have another recurring top 8 player in the form of AWS|CCL. The rest of top 8 was PxP|Problem X, PandaTV|Dark Jiewa, PRKS|Packz, and Ryan Hart.

Last week a slew of stacked tournaments ended.

First off is the big one: [b]ESL's Brooklyn Beatdown.[/b]
While not part of the CPT the ESLBB was immensely stacked with a sizeable prize pool. The winner of that was [b]Qanba Douyou|Xiao Hai[/b]. In 2nd place who was quite literally one uppercut away from winning was [b]EG|Momochi[/b]. In 3rd was [b]Tokido[/b] and 4th was [b]YOUDEAL MJS|Haitani[/b]. The rest of top 8 was [b]RZR|Fuudo, EG|Justin Wong, Commander Jesse, and SOA|Brolynho[/b]

Secondly we had the [b]Abuget Cup[/b] down in Jakarta, Indonesia. Quite a few strong players here from the Asian region. The strongest of all today here was [b]HM|Eita[/b] who takes 1st place above his teammate, [b]HM|Go1[/b] who achieved 2nd place. In 3rd is [b]VS.FV|KOFMaster[/b] with his FANG. In 4th is the legendary [b]RB|Bonchan[/b] who is perhaps finding his own strides within the game. The rest of top 8 is [b]YOUDEAL|Yukadon, Shamwow, VS.FV|Chuan, and VS.FV|Shaunw[/b]

We also had [b]TRETA 2016[/b] over in Brazil. The winner of that was [b]SFT|Dark817[/b] who takes the first CPT win with Alex. In 2nd is [b]Innova|Keoma[/b] who is also starting to show strides in his gameplay. In 3rd is [b]AAG|DidimoKOF[/b] and in 4th is [b]FCBR|Ramon.[/b] The rest of top 8 was [b]Brook|Misterio, Z4|Hkdesh, SFT|Luvinha, and Brook|Cabelo3000[/b].

Got a couple of solid tournaments happening this weekend.

First off we have the big one: SEA Major over in Singapore. Being the other Asian Major expect loads of top talent coming here. Expect nothing short of great matches even in pools. Oh ant it's happening as I write this post.

Stream: twitch.tv/capcomfighters
Bracket: http://beastapac.challonge.com
Top 32 Bracket: http://beastapac.challonge.com/seam2016cptTOP32

SEAM has ended with Tokido taking 1st place and his second premier tournament. In 2nd place was EG|Momochi who just barely didn't reset the bracket. In 3rd, hot from his win in Indonesia, is HM|Eita. And in 4th we have a pleasant surprise in the form of Hori|Sako who is starting to show up now. The rest of top 8 was VS FV|IAMCHUAN, NL, HuomatoTV|HumanBomb, and RZR|Xian


Also coming up is The Fall Classic over in the East Coast. Expect top NA talent there along with an interesting return of PR_Balrog who basically didn't go to tournaments for half the year.

Stream is TBA but I'm assuming it will be at twitch.tv/teamsp00ky
Bracket: TBA

The Fall Classic ended last week albeit with many technical issues as the venue was out of power. In 1st place was Liquid|Nuckledu. In 2nd place was XsK_Samurai who has cemented his place as the best Ryu in North America. In 3rd was NS|Ludovic also showing that he is definitely a regional threat. In 4th was the only international player, /r/Kappa|John Takeuchi. The rest of top 8 was EG|PR Balrog, EG|Ricki Ortiz, EG|K-Brad, and PG|RayRay.

Along with these two tournaments we have two more over in the Europe region. First off is Liga Official Playstation Tournament 2016 over in Barcelona, Spain. Expect top EU talent there along with Dark Jiewa tagging along for the ride.

Stream is TBA
Bracket: https://www.toornament.com/tournaments/57e931c1140ba0104d8b45c6/information

Liga Official PlayStation Tour has ended with RB|Luffy taking 1st place. This win guarantees that he is in Capcom Cup through the European point leaderboard as there are no more European events. In 2nd place is AWS|CCL with his very consistent Chun-Li. In 3rd is another consistent player in the form of MD|MisterCrimson who only played Dhalsim this time around for some reason. Finally in 4th is GS|TKR, a local of Spain. The rest of top 8 was DAZ, Will2Pac, CristianRG, and LaDOSE|Nassim.

The second tournament happening in the Europe region is Geek Weekend 2016 over in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. While it is in the Middle East Capcom has decided to put the Middle East in Europe for "logistical reasons". For whatever reasons they may be the tournament can expect to see regional powerhouse Big Bird along with a visit from recent troublemaker in Europe MOV. Will Big Bird be able to stop MOV from farming more European points or will he exact his will on every tournament he goes to in the region? I guess we will find out.

Stream: http://twitch.tv/falcon_arena
Bracket: TBA

As expected by everyone MOV takes 1st place at Geek Weekend 2016. In 2nd place was FA|BigBird with his stylish Ken. In 3rd was someone I thought was in Spain: PandaTV|Dark Jiewa. Finally in 4th is Fruit with an interesting combination of Chun-Li and Laura. The rest of top 8 was FA|Hamood, Zentetsu, DIM|Shin, and HS|Horsemask

This weekend we have what is basically two premier events.

First off we have the SoCal Regionals 2016. The 2nd last Premier tournament and for many a life line to get into Capcom Cup, the other being Canada Cup later this year. Tons of international talent as well as America's finest are expected to be in attendance. The standout names are Go1, Momochi, GamerBee, Haitani, ChrisG, Julio, Nuki, XYZZY, Mago, Yukadon, Eita, NuckleDu, Xiao Hai, Justin Wong, and Filipino Champ. Big big tournament with a lot at stake for many players.

Stream: twitch.tv/capcomfighters
Brackets: http://arena.floko.tv/

SoCal Regionals 2016 ended last week with Qanba Douyu|Xiao Hai who takes the 4th spot as a player who has won 2 premier events. In 2nd place was Haitani, his highest placing since an Australian tournament way back this year. In 3rd place is also the highest placing American at a premier event so far this year: EG|K-Brad who really stepped it up this time around. And in 4th was Mago who continues to make his Karin look cleaner and cleaner. The rest of top 8 was Liquid|Nuckledu, CBZ|Onuki, EG|PR Balrog, and /r/Kappa.KFGC|XYZZY.

Also happening this weekend is the EU regional finals. This is a premier event but unique in that you had to be invited by either winning a ranking event in Europe or being given a spot by someone who won but could not make it. The players qualified are as folows:
Mister Crimson
Problem X
Phenom
CCL
Xian
MOV

Akainu
Cobelcog
ImStillDaDaddy
Daigo Umehara
Packz
TKR
Fruit

The bolded players are the ones who I think have the best chance to win.

The EU regional finals ended with BST|Daigo Umehara securing his place at Capcom Cup. Congrats!

There are a couple events happening this weekend which determine who get into Capcom Cup.

First off is the Redbull Battle Grounds over in Seattle, USA. Being a regional event the following players will be in attendance due to qualifications:

Chris Tatarian
Julio Fuentes
Justin Wong
NuckleDu
Filipino Champ
Flash
Ricki Ortiz
XsK|Samurai
EG|K-Brad
F3|Alucard
CoinUp|Ludovic
/r/Kappa|John Takeuchi
ANBU|Punk
PG|RayRay


Again, the players I have bolded are the ones most likely to win and are the ones to look out for. If you're wondering why some of these players qualified when Justin Wong won so many tournaments in the USA, it is because the qualifying spot trickles down the placements if 1st place already qualifies for the NA Regional Final.

I MADE A MISTAKE. Last weekend was Rebull Proving Grounds which simply allows the winner to go to the Regional finals somehow. The winner of that was ChrisG

Stream will be at twitch.tv/capcomfighters

Also happening this weekend is FV Cup over in Malaysia. This is 1 of 2 events happening in Asia over the weekend. This is the last chance for many just outside of qualifying to get into Capcom Cup. Even Ryan Hart is going. Other players include Kazunoko, Sako, Xian, HumanBomb, Yukadon, and Bonchan. Stacked tournament for sure.

Stream: twitch.tv/beastapac

FV Cup has ended with Hori|Sako taking 1st place. In 2nd was GGP|Kazunoko with the most aggressive Cammy so far out of the top Cammy's. In 3rd is HuomaoTV|HumanBomb continuing his strong play from USF4 and in 4th is YOUDEAL|Yukadon. The rest of top 8 was RB|Bonchan, EQ|Marn, Tse4444, and Seed^SKZ

We also have (or had, I believe) the Online Asia tournament. Not really sure if this ended or not because I fell asleep to it last night and I don't know if that was Top 8 or not but I think MOV won. Will keep you posted if he did.

Ok yeah so that online tournament did happen and MOV did in fact win. In 2nd is Hong Kong online warrior Chris Wong who beat a ton of top players in loser's bracket to make it here. In 3rd is Korea's own NL and in 4th is Tokido The rest of top 8 was /r/Kappa|XYZZY, SC|Poongko, LikeWhiteBread, and Ponzaman.

We've got a couple events starting to wrap up the Capcom Pro Tour here.

First is the final premier of the tour, Canada Cup. Taking place in Toronto this will be the last chance and a nail biter for anyone in the lower half of the points leaderboards.

Stream is at twitch.tv/capcomfighters

Canada Cup 2016 has ended with Liquid|Nuckledu taking 1st place. This is very significant for the USA since USA has not won a premier event for a long long time now in either SF4 or SFV. In 2nd place was Qanba Douyou|Xiao Hai who in the past has always had trouble with Nuckledu. In 3rd place was BX3|Phenom who dunked his way to victory. In 4th place is yung prodigy /r/Kappa|John Takeuchi with his brilliant Rashid. The rest of top 8 was RB|Bonchan, RN|Alex Myers, OR|Nuki, and BST|Daigo Umehara. (when memers places above Daigo lmao)

Very significant event here. USA wins a premier event, Xiao Hai who was thought to be the best in the world gets absolutely destroyed by Nuckledu. Also the fact that there were 4 Japanese players in Top 8 and yet none of them hit Top 3. Things are going to be interesting for Capcom Cup.

We also have the Latin America Regional finals to determine who will make it into Capcom Cup through the LA region.

These are the players qualified and also the players who I think have the best chance to win are bolded.
RobKOF
Misterio
Chris Tatarian
K-Brad
Ericke Piquet da S. Maciel

I believe they took it out to make room for the stretch goals for their matcherino donations. The donations go towards the pot bonus and they have a bunch of pretty cool events lined up if they meet the goals

The 2 goals that have been met are Infiltration vs. Everyone exhibition and also the Daigo vs. John Takeuchi FT10 Exhibition.

The rest of the goals are a SFV Pro Draft Crew battle feat. a bunch of top players and I suppose captains making teams to win. The goal after that is a Q&A panel with a bunch of top players as well and after that the goal gives us a Top player analysis panel. The last 2 goals are a VIP after party stream with top players idk what that exactly means and the final goal at 10k$ is a bunch of players will sing Karaoke.

You can check that out here https://matcherino.com/b/tournament/4203

I think they'll start doing it once the players have really really established themselves since they did this on the second half of SF4's time period to pick the super legit people.

Plus they still have the 5v5 event which is always the unique part of Canada Cup to me.

(god please make them host Canada Cup in Calgary again :( )

This weekend we only have one event: Red Bull Battle Grounds. This counts as NA's Regional Finals and as such only the winners or high placers of various North American ranking events as well as winners of the last chance qualifier are allowed to enter. The winner of this gets a guaranteed place at Capcom Cup.

Here are the listed players guaranteed to enter the regional finals:

Chris Tatarian
Julio Fuentes
Justin Wong
Nuckledu
Filipino Champ
Flash
Ricki Ortiz
XsK_Samurai
K-Brad
Alucard
Ludovic
John Takeuchi
Punk
RayRay

Again, players bolded are the likely winners but anything goes with these.

Also to note there is a last chance qualifier where if you win you get put into the brackets at 15th and 16th seed in the regional finals. This is a thing for each regional finals and was a thing at the Latin America finals. Quite a few top players in the last chance qualifiers such as Tokido, Snake Eyez, Bonchan, and Alex Myers.

Stream is currently already underway with the qualifier at twitch.tv/capcomfighters

Redbull Battlegrounds 2016 has ended with Liquid|Nuckledu winning his second premier event in a row. He joins players Xiao Hai, Infiltration, GamerBee, and Tokido as players that have won 2 premier events. This also means that XsK_Samurai is confirmed in Capcom Cup. Speaking of which, congrats to him for grabbing a sponsor with Winterfox.
