Super Battle Opera 2010 USA Qualifiers Street Fighter 4 Grand Finals

[jorgeloki1991]

Team EG goes to Japan ye nice performance there, eliminated first round. Both Marn and Ricky were useless a monkey would have done the same thing they did cus they both lost to the first guy in the other team. At least Justin almost pulled a reverse OCV witch was pretty sick. He has the skills of Japan but had to take the other to with him wow he must be happy. Team qualification, what a dumb idea should be single so atleast we know the best 3 go and not the best and the 2 muchers go.

[ItsForFunPeople]

OMG THAT SAGAT DAMAGE LMFAO!

[knutitup]

People stop the hating

[OMFGZORZ]

How did team emp do? Did they even compete?

[drzero7]

SBO is known to ONLY use arcade machine for their tourney. And since SSF4 doesn't have an arcade yet, SBO will run SF4 instead. There's also no char switching in SBO as well, unlike Evo.

[YouKube]

Congratz to Team EG! I cannot wait to see your sorry asses get totally MURDERED in Japan!

[YouKube]

This was prolly asked before, but why are they playing on vanilla SF4!?.. instead of SSF4?? Is Japan SBO not for SSF4??

[Zclyh4]

@YouKube SSF4 for Arcade is not out until December and SBO is in Sept. So they play vanilla.

[Zane921]

I can't stand watching Ricky use Chun. I mean really, did he always main her in Vanilla? Watching him counterpick Vangief at Evo really made my blood boil, Vangief would have destroyed his Rufus. Anyway, good luck at SBO, there's going to be plenty blood in the water

[mechzz]

@Zane921

Before Ricky made the switch to rufus, he did main Chun in vanilla.

[herakuzi]

Viper is such a flashy character. Always like watching high-level Vipers because of that.

[thomasfigueroa]

now to get smacked up by japan one more year

[teeeight]

poor "team staying in Norcal" :(

[BladeOfReiatsu]

why are they still on sf4? is it because there's no official arcade cabinet for ssf4 yet?

[j3tl3]

@BladeOfReiatsu yes. next year will be ssf4.

[carelessmorning]

Lol wtf, Dhalsim looked like he just gave up at the end and stopped zoning.

[raikanami]

funny how all these guys are from Nor Cal besides justin and marn.

[UserX03]

Ah vanilla Sagat, I forgot how powerful you once were

[DemDaggers]

America stands no chance at SBO

[5menace5]

Damn jwong said i'm going to japan bitches

Ricky first round with chun was sick and marn did great

good game

[deadeye723]

what does SBO stand for

[kevinng14]

@deadeye723 Super Battle Opera. One of those Japanisms that never make any sense.

[MajinHurricane]

did marn eat the cabinet after

[MILFHaunter]

wow vanila sf4>>>>>>>..ssf4

ssf4 is so fucking boring to watch, matches are so slow unlike this one, and it's not dominated by gayass boring charge characters. There was no turtling at all in vanilla unlike ssf4 which is a dumbass turtle fest. Fuck ssf4.

[MajinHurricane]

@MILFHaunter Clearly you are a retard.

[scir91]

@MILFHaunter i like your nick. ssf4 also has shit music imo

[Matsute]

@scir91 Cool, so you're saying that even though about 80% of the soundtrack is EXACTLY the same.

lolwut

[scir91]

@Matsute well the intro music sucks (what happened to the singing guy? that was awesome). the stage select music sucks. the intro animation sucks. it sounds like a lot of the stage music has been remixed?

[Matsute]

@scir91 Nope, no remixes for the stages. You might be confusing that with people having the character themes on, which then replace the stage themes with the theme of the character you're fighting.

As for the intro... Well, Indestructible was kind of fun...

[SETHCITY1]

i swear when viper does that back throw she says fuck me

[I9IIEIIYIIEIIS]

@SETHCITY1 she does say "fuck me"

[TWebb4]

@SETHCITY1 i was about to post the same thing lol

[LUCiUSxAmv]

@SETHCITY1 she says "baka nhe" dush bag

[SETHCITY1]

@LUCiUSxAmv WTF IS DUSH BAG

[djquackquack]

Ricky was kinda like Jesus in this match - went Chun Li to beat Vangief and took losing to PChamp on the chin, taking out the bad matchup that could possibly stop Wong.

[choboruin]

God, why does arcade SF4 look so much better then home version. Yuck.

[Tonedef5959]

@choboruin it even sounds 1000x better.

[lukeweizer]

Weird to see Vanilla. But any Street Fighter action is good action.

[samuraix025]

kenzzzhou, you can play with two of the same character in sbo, justin mains rufus in vanilla SF4 Ricky seconds chun. as much as people want to hate team EG, you gotta accept you're wrong on this one

[AlexDoub1eU]

walk up 360....

[GoldSamuraiArmor]

lol why don't they just send the best players to SBO? I don't like that they're sending best players + a team member to SBO. Shrug. I think Ricky is gonna get hands laid on him quickly. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong though, lol.

[ModelJames13]

They need to patch SSFIV to bring back Sagat's glory!

[AgentSephiroth]

@ModelJames13 No and no.

[KomboKaze]

I know marn was tight about missing that FFF vs vangeif , round 2;gamepoint

[rhetoric1]

Ricky didn't counter pick, retards. No two same characters per team and locked characters in Japanese rules. Ricky has been using Chun in preparation in other tournaments, too.

[fistsvsface]

@Ansem665 SBO is an arcade only tournament. Because SSF4 has not been released for arcades yet, Vanilla is the only version of SF4 in the tournament this year.

[Konataproduction]

Ricky counter-picked so hard he did it before the tournament even started /idiots coming in

[vtxaishi]

Wow, that last whiff from Filipino Champ must have been embarassing. Just even got a CH off of it. j.FP TO THE DOME

[s0ulja925]

i dont why ur saying ricky counterpicked, cause im his cousin and he said he was dropping rufus and training with chun-li, so chun-li is his new main, he said that shortly after evo

[kshigsm]

you can't counterpick in a character locked tournament...

idiots

[dwEEb813]

Sagat's damage made me cringe.

[RaymondLau123]

VANGIEF CAN'T USE PAD?

[tshark37]

ricky counterpicked vangief at evo, but not here. they can't have duplicate characters on a team and they have to play the characters they qualified with. so either ricky or justin had to switch off their main. since ricky stuck with rufus last year, justin had to play boxer and they lost. u gotta figure they're just trying something different this year.

[sebmaq]

@tshark37 it was Marn who played Rufus at SBO with Justin last year

[xaznharryx]

Ms. Ricky Ortiz aka Ms. Counterpick

[mechzz]

@xaznharryx

How is he counter picking? You can't have duplicate characters on one team. Since Justin has the better Rufus, he'd naturally go to his secondary.

Also, why does everybody get their panties in a bunch over counter picking? In ST people would constantly counter pick. This includes Daigo, Valle, Afrolegends.

[xaznharryx]

@mechzz im joking

[kenzzzhou]

wow counter picking faggots

and i thought vangief was a pad player?

[Zclyh4]

@kenzzzhou Vangief is a pad player. But for SBO he actually used a joystick. Very surprised by his performance too.

[homelessbum33]

@Zclyh4 well, he HAS to use a stick lol

[ISniffDirtyPanties]

@Zclyh4 i like PANTY (45 sec later) with yellow stain on them! yummyyy!

[spriggangt]

@kenzzzhou huh? Everyone used their mains...

[kenzzzhou]

@spriggangt actually no, Ortiz mains rufus, he only picked chun to counter pick vangief.

[vertoxz123]

@kenzzzhou He didn't counterpick...he picked Chun because you can't have the same character in SBO teams fool.

[mechzz]

@kenzzzhou

Actually no, he picked Chun cause that's his secondary character and Rufus was already taken by Justin. Please stop fishing for reason to hate.

[kenzzzhou]

@mechzz sure, just like how he counter picked it for EVO eh? All i'm doing is rooting for the underdog, if you're a EG fanboy then keep it up.

[mechzz]

@kenzzzhou

Evo has nothing to do with SBO. At Evo, yes it was a counter pick but at SBO ricky used Chun Li the entire tournament. It's fine to root for the under dog, but it's not cool to be ignorant and make up bullcrap on the spot.

Also, I'm not an EG fan boy. Marn is a digusting example of a human being. You should try to stop being a stereotypical internet hater and educate yourself before you speak.

[AgentSephiroth]

@kenzzzhou No one was counter picking you're the fag.

[tsdcX]

@AgentSephiroth There's no need to hate anyone for it, but it was definitely a counter pick. Chun counters Gief hard in SF4, and Ricky also swtched to Chun vs Vangief this year at Evo. Ricky obviously has a lot of confidence in his Chun, but there were more sensible choices all around than Chun.

[AgentSephiroth]

@tsdcX His secondary is Chun and she has been his main for multiple Street Fighter games. It's just a coincidence that the matchup just happens to be in her favor. Do you expect Ricky to use a character other than the one he has been using for years just because his opponent will have a bad matchup? gtfo.

[AgentSephiroth]

@tsdcX Also, about Ricky vs Vangief this year at Evo. Think a bout Zangief has the advantage over Rufus so why wouldn't Ricky decide to switch to his secondary to make it easier for himself... It's seems kinda one sided that everyone is calling Ricky a counter picker when Zangief has an extraordinary matchup advantage to begin with by using Zangief against Rufus... Justin Wong decided to stick with Rufus and lost to Vangief while Ricky switched to Chun and ended up 2nd at Evo.

[kenzzzhou]

@AgentSephiroth Obviously you don't know shit, Chun not a counter pick? Ortiz has multiple secondaries even if Rufus was taken.

and no one likes a keyboard warrior, get real.

[AgentSephiroth]

@kenzzzhou Ok, say that it is a counter pick it's vangief's fault for not knowing how to deal with his disadvantages by playing a bad matchup. Counter picking is just another problem you will have to overcome and if you can't then that's your problem. Vangief isn't bitching about Ricky so called "counter picking" him so why the fuck are you so butthurt over it? Grow the fuck up instead of starting arguments over some fucking youtube video.... This discussion is closed.

[StephanieHua]

@kenzzzhou SBO is arcade ONLY, so vangief had no choice but still played well.

counter picking? not quite. these are they're main chars. not sure about ricky tho, he uses rufus too. Probably left it for Jwong to use

[kenzzzhou]

@StephanieHua Though I don't agree with what you say, thank you for the polite reply. Everyone else just has to hate cause I have different opinions.

Even though Rufus was taken, I'm sure Ortiz went with Chun just to counter Vangief, knowing how dangerous his Zangief is.

[bs000]

@kenzzzhou You're not allowed to switch characters in SBO. And it would make no sense to have 2 Rufus' on the same team. It also means that Ricky was using Chun the entire tourney, not just against Vangief. Vangief would've had to play against Ricky's Chun no matter what.

[Biginitiald]

@kenzzzhou

Dude there has been counter picking since SF2... its part of the game, STFU scrub the pro's learn their worst matchups to maximize their chance to win against them... just the facts

[raikanami]

@kenzzzhou he can play both pad and stick, but he prefers pad better, least thats what i heard via iplaywinner streams.

[kenzzzhou]

@raikanami didn't think he would be good with stick too considering how he was basically a no name before EVO. Thought he was only pad. But I love this guy's gief nonetheless.

[raikanami]

@kenzzzhou he did show his name before, in the Nor Cal scene and the tournaments iplaywinner held streams at.

[RainbowRandolf]

@kenzzzhou Who was counter-picking? C.Viper is Marn's main, Ricky loves him some Chun in Super, Justin obviously sticks with Rufus for the most part, Vangief is a gief specialist, Ryan ONLY plays Sim, and 200yen plays Sagat some time.

[330432]

@kenzzzhou funny thing is that at sbo its character lock so they cant change characters so theyre fucked if they dont pick their best character i hate how in america all people seem to do is counter pick especially in the east coast it kinda sucks i respect vangief for sticking with his character no matter what.

[MILFHaunter]

nice

the better sf4 is going to be at sbo, fuc yeah

[freshandlegal]

Sagat...hm...sounds familiar.

[BStokes06]

sick gief
