Been years since I did this.

Any good list of side streams and night streams? I found this for side tournaments, but I don’t know how comprehensive it is.

UNIB2 art looks like Yu-gi-oh card art.

There are essentially two tiers of side tournaments this year. The officially organized ones and the ones run out of BYOC in that list. I don’t know if there’s a stream list for the official tournaments, which is odd considering Evo is providing the stream gear for those tournaments.

Without going into too much detail, the combination of having to scale for SF6 entry numbers and Sony ownership bullshit has fucked over the usual way they are run this year and everything you will see this weekend will have been organized hastily in the last 3 weeks. Please forgive TOs if shit is scuffed because it’s not their fault

i don’t even care how this game looks or plays, i’m just happy to see south town

Tekken 8 finally getting some new characters and she looks like a lot of fun. Feels like Steve was meant to have dodges incorporated into his gameplan back in 4 but he never really turned out that way. Also nice to see the stage designs and music getting more fun and out there.

I can’t believe they put the new contemporary nation into tekken instead of pop’n music

Modern SNK is too horny to do this, but man I wish they’d give Blue Mary her design from Garou’s story scenes. Garou’s character designs were so good.

I really want to see her do the Brazilian JuJutsu thing where she slips one arm out of her jacket and chokes someone out with her sleeve.

sadly, the absolute best case scenario is they do a switcheroo and we get tasteful mai and falcoon blue mary.

mai would be like 40ish years old in a garou sequel, can you name any video game that 1) has a 40 year old woman, and 2) didn’t just make her look 20?

So they just confirming the leaked roster all in one go lol. Apart from the very Xbox-y avatars I like that the customisation options don’t seem to ruin the silhouette of fighters too much
