For those that are not familiar, KSK is one of the best Alex players in 3rd Strike history in addition to owning Gamer’s Vision, one of the best arcades for fighting games (both 3s and SF4), where they host and stream the God’s Garden tournaments.
FTA:
iPW: What do Japanese players think about Super and will they continue to play SF4 if it is console only?
KSK: I think they are looking forward to see SSF4 and play SSF4 in the arcade. The fact that SSF4 won’t be in arcades, some players may keep on playing SF4. For instance, even though SF4 for console is now released, arcade players keep on playing SF4 in arcades — they don’t think of Cammy, Sakura and other console characters when they think about Street Fighter 4.
What it comes down to, and why they choose to play SF4 in arcades is that there’s something to play for. Now, there are so many events for the players — Super Battle Opera, Nagoya Street Battle and Godsgarden. There are so many people and events to give a boost to arcades, but when they disappear, SF4 in arcades will disappear. Obviously no one wants things to be like that, so I decided to organize Godsgarden.
I know a lot of you guys out there are still playing on pads so I wanted to let you know about a special deal Mad Catz is having for this weekend only!
Round 1, Round 2 and the Femme Fatale TE Fight Sticks are all 20% off when you use coupon code: KEYCHAIN20 AND you get a kickass TE keychain. I have one myself, it’s awesome! The keychain I mean, you already know I think the Fight Sticks are awesome. Here’s a picture of the keychain that you may have seen being given away this past weekend on I Play Winner’s UCD 3v3 stream.
I personally have been using Mad Catz sticks when I play in tournaments since they were released and they’ve never let me down. We also use them at in our LA Riots tournament series and almost every single top player I know plays on one.
Special Street Fighter 4 Secrets Promo
I thought it would be cool to sweeten the deal a little bit in case you were on the fence about it. Since you’re making an investment into your game by getting a Fight Stick, if you forward me your confirmation email or screenshot and I’ll send you a copy of Street Fighter 4 Secrets Volume II featuring Arturo Sanchez for FREE. This bonus will expire 2/1/10 so hurry!
As you may have noticed, I’m not posting a whole lot of screenshots and info on SSF4 because frankly, that’s I Play Winner and Event Hubs‘ department, not mine and they do a way better job than me at that stuff. Also, I can’t really stand the anticipation, so I try to ignore it as much as possible because I WANT THIS GAME TO COME OUT ALREADY!
That said, holy crap! Finally something worth posting! New wacky costumes, finally debuting selectable Ultras, Ryu’s Shin Metsus Shoryu!! ad;lkfjas;dlkfja;sldkfj;alskdjf;lakdfj!!
Hey guys it’s x45x, these are the videos from Bar Fights II. There are Posters, T-shirts, and DVDs still available at the Bar Fights II Store. There was a problem with the 4th video on YouTube, so in the meantime, you can just download the torrent which has the video in its entirety.
Also, we are holding a Q&A in the forums. Any questions about Street Fighter you want answered will be answered on a video or podcast by Gootecks. Go over to the forums and go to the Street Fighter 4 discussion area.

Congrats to you guys. They battles through a 64-man bracket and made it to the top. These top 6 are very good players, and definitely deserve there position. To first and second place, you should be contacting me via PM on the forums so that i can hook you up with your prizes. I would like to give a shout out to all of you guys who put your matches on youtube. If you are interested in watching some of the matches, go youtube search it. Free1up i know has a lot of videos up, and many others.
Huge shout out to my friend Pacifist. Without him the XBL brackets would have been nothing. he really made sure this tournament was not a piece of crap, so honors to him for making it work that much better.
It was a lot of fun hosting this tournament. And for all of you wondering when the next one will be, i have some info.
The next tournament will be split into 4 tournaments. We will have East Coast and West Coast, and XBL and PSN. All people in central, you will join whatever is closest. It will be hosted on one day (so each tournament will be held on a separate day.) Think after thanksgiving, and we will break before Christmas, and resume shortly after (if we even go into the holidays.)
So go over to our forums and vote for what coast and console first! It will be located in the tournament sections.
