Also The Fight will be happening today as well in Columbia. A couple notable players will be attending such as PandaTV|Dark Jiewa, EG|K-Brad, Brook|ANV|ON|Misterio, and Melty|Will2pac. While it won't be as stacked as Tokyo Button Mashers it is still interesting to at least keep an eye on Latin America to see what's cooking over there.

Bracket: TBA

Tokyo Button Mashers has ended with GGP|Kazunoko taking 1st. What an event is was too. Yukadon takes 2nd breaking into the SFV scene with his super solid Nash. RB|MCZ|Twitch|Daigo Umehara with his infinite sponsors and consistent play takes 3rd with his patented Ryu. Nemo takes 4th showing a ton of sick Vega play which I am definitely going to analyze and take from. The rest of top 8 are HM|Go1, MOV, VX, and YOUDEAL MJS|Haitani.

Kazunoko is really starting to show off his consistency in SFV so looks like any doubts I had about him had already faded. Anyone who said Capcom Cup 2015 was a fluke is obviously wrong now.

Honestly it's because Chun Li has a pretty high skill floor. To use her completely effectively you have to master her combos and her instant air legs. Then after mastering all that there's still the small tech with her you have to learn. Slowly but surely Chun Li will dominate. She has the most potential out of any current character by far.

Some people still look at it even though they're not posting so that's enough for me to literally copy and paste everything from other sources into a more condensed thread here :)

Aside from that we do have Tokyo Button Mashers happening right now.
This is a Japanese ranking event so the competition is almost as fierce as a premier event. Prepare for a ton of strong players here.

Japanowa ended like last week with Chris Tatarian taking 1st place. FOX|Julio Fuentes took 2nd once again showing off his consistency in top 3. Kusanagi, a top King of Fighters Mexican player takes 3rd with Karin, a character quite a few KOF players gravitate towards to it seems. Illija rounds out the rest of top 4 with his Ryu. The other top 8 consists of CKD|Babushas, EG|PR Balrog, MJ|Goro, TL|Aioros.

FFM Rumble 9 also ended last week with GWAK.FR|CCL taking 1st, marking the CPT's first Chun Li win, a character many view as the best. GG|Halibel takes 2nd using a strange mix of both Ken and Dhalsim. ECV|Niine90 takes 3rd with a solid Nash and Fitizen rounds out top 4 with a strong Vega (Best character). The rest of top 8 was Perilous|Packz, Rize|Cobelcog, Melty|Cuongster, FA|Ryan Hart. This tournament was super weird as everyone that usually places high didn't even make it into top 8 save for Ryan Hart and Packz. Luffy, Will2pac, Valmaster, Phenom, and MisterCrimson all placing below top 8.

I didn't really know any better so I joined a random 6s iron team as a sub as their starter was on vacation in Spain for 2 matches. I played and did well. Our pocket then got banned from UGC because, this is what my leader told me, he was in IM. The scout in Spain came back and we shifted me to pocket. Spain scout wasn't the best but I didn't care that much until he cheated in a sunshine match. Then he got banned and then I moved back to scout and we picked up some guy for pocket. From that point onward I was forced to be on wireless because I moved rooms and it would take a while to get the wire to the router so I played with 150 ping usually as scout.

tl;dr it was a wild ride but i stayed for some reason

Combo Breaker has ended with EG|Justin Wong taking 1st, continuing his reign of terror across the Western Hemisphere. Flash Metroid takes 2nd with his brilliant Vega play surprising many. 3rd is PG|FilipinoChamp who still can't break that 3rd place curse and 4th goes to Liquid|Nuckledu. The rest of top 8 is rounded out with EG|Ricki Ortiz, Wolfkrone, Filipinoman, and LPN

Justin is pretty much guaranteed a spot in CCC at this point so I'll add him to the list of qualified players.

i hope this wasnt already posted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFnKgIptbq0

Absolutely disgusting.

This game looks really cool. The movement looks really slick and looks like it could possibly be "exploited" to create new movement techniques. Slap on some custom trick maps and I would have tons of fun grinding it out (pun intended).

Hey guys Combo Breaker is actually happening right now on https://www.twitch.tv/bgcallisto but top 8 will continue on twitch.tv/teamsp00ky

Happy Trails

Combo Breaker is happening right now on twitch.tv/teamsp00ky
Bracket: combobreaker.challonge.com

Many Americans expected to attend. The most notable ones are American EG minus PR Balrog, FChamp, LPN, Arturo Sanchez, Perfect Legend, SonicFox, LI Joe, Filipinoman, 801 Strider, Gllty, Fubarduck, Alucard, and Nuckledu.

I can easily call that Justin is probably going to take 1st. Nuckledu I think is just one step above most players as well along with FChamp and Ricki Ortiz. So I think top 4 in order is going to be Justin Wong, Nuckledu, FChamp, Ricki Ortiz. The bottom top 8 in no particular order imo is going to be SonicFox, LI Joe, Alucard, and LPN.

Japanowa will be happening sometimes this weekend as well. It also makes the NA scene fairly interesting as it seems that half of NA went to Combo Breaker and the other half went here. Notable players here are PR Balrog, Jiewa, the Trinity (Julio, Chris T, Brent), Marq Teddy, Kusanagi, and other various Mexican players that I probably don't know.

Stream: http://twitch.tv/teamlago
Brackets: TBA

The only thing standing in PR Balrog's way of winning Japanowa is the fact that the Trinity is here. Both Julio and Chris T have prevented PR Balrog from winning ranking tournaments and it's possible they could do the same here. Who knows maybe it's Brent's time to do it this time (lol). Even Jiewa, another Ken is here. Actually like half the world's best Ken's are in this tournament like really? Anyway this one is super hard to call and the only thing I can predict is PR Balrog + Trinity doing well. Kusanagi could probably do good as well.

FFM Rumble 9 will be happening as well over in Europe. Expect many strong European players such as Problem X, Phenom, Ryan Hart, Valmaster, Luffy, Will2pac, Saunic, Packz, and more.

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

Lot's of good players expected to come here. It's a tough call really. Though based off of results and such I would say it's safe to predict that Problem X will take 1st, Luffy 2nd, Saunic 3rd, and Phenom 4th. Bottom top 8 imo will be Ryan Hart, Packz, Valmaster, and Will2pac in no particular order.

Hey guys sorry for the hiatus I disappeared and did school work for like 5 days straight and finished a whole highschool course.

Stunfest's winner was EG|Momochi who has completely convinced me that Momochi will probably never get washed up. Since this is a premier event, EG|Momochi has qualified for Capcom Cup. 2nd place goes to RZR|Fuudo who surprised everyone by playing a "NON RANDOM" R. Mika super well. 3rd goes to Tokido who unfortunately broke his 2nd place curse by taking 3rd. Xiao Hai takes 4th after showing brilliant reactions, which both served him well and was cause for his loss. The rest of the top 8 are Xian, Daigo, Haitani, and Eita.

Toryuken V's winner was, to nobody's surprise really, EG|Justin Wong. 2nd place goes to FOX|Julio showing off his consistency in NA tournaments. 3rd goes to PG|FChamp who, also, shows his consistency taking 3rd place for I believe the 3rd time this Pro Tour. 4th place goes to EG|Ricki Ortiz who is starting to show up as one of the best Chun Li's in the game while also sporting a solid pocket Nash. The rest of the top 8 are Dieminion, EG|PR Balrog, STDx|Blitzman, and Italdan. To note, the Canadians really stepped up here in SFV doing some damage by dropping TS|Sabin and keeping EG|KBrad outside of top 8. Makes me proud.
