OH FUCK YEAH! We have another big Street Fighter 4 event in the making and it’s only two days away! Sorry for the short notice, but ultimately it doesn’t really matter because you don’t have to do anything but sit back and watch on your computer at 2PM PST on Saturday December 5th.
Full details after the jump…
Who: Myself, Coin-Op TV and Evo Energy Drink are super proud to bring you the very first LA Riots Street Fighter 4 tournament, broadcasted live in super high awesomeness by TheStream.tv!
What: This is going to be an 8-man invitational tournament with a $500 cash prize for the winner! The players were hand selected by myself and seeing how it’s called LA Riots, only LA players were eligible. Sorry guys, next time 
When: Saturday December 5th at2PM broadcasted live on TheStream.tv
Where: TheStream.tv
Why: To showcase only the best, most exciting players in Los Angeles! In my opinion, it’s easier for a wider audience to sit down and watch a shorter event (such as an 8man bracket) from start to finish than it is to watch an alllllll day super long stream. So the idea is that by cutting away all the preliminary rounds, we’re left with only the 8 best players in Los Angles, which is pretty much who would be left anyways if we ran a big tournament and had all these guys show up.
The confirmed players are:
- Alex Valle (2nd Place NCR, 2nd Place West Coast Warzone, #1 in SoCal)
- Mike Ross (the People’s Champion )
- Combofiend (3rd Place NCR)
- Kai (the most hated man in SF4 and the man who hates SF4 the most)
- Ken I (the Legend of the Orange Sweatshirt)
- Keno (Arcade Infinity Ranking Battle Season 2 Winner)
- ???
- ???
So that’s what’s on the agenda, see you guys Saturday. :D

Does Ed Ma still play? I would think he would be top 8.
It’s always the same players it is cool to see great players like valle , but if you want street fighter to become something bigger you have to give a chance to the amateur audience. That is my opinion.
Edma and gooooootecks!
Screw new players. Where’s Ed?
Ed Ma + UltraDavid
I agree with Brujo, if you really want new players to enter the spotlight you’re going to have to give them a chance first… imo.
Didn’t Justin Wong move to Santa Monica? That’s L.A. to me. Ma and Wong sounds good.
Ed Ma should be there…and do you even play anymore Ryan? Where you been man? ^_^
Shadyk!!! come on now!!
yeah Ed Mazzle needz to be in there and Ultimate David.
I asked Ed if he wanted to play, but he decided not to.
I’m not playing because I’m going to be doing commentary and running the show.
ShadyK is not playing because I wanted to keep this as simple as possible and make it LA only players for this one, since this type of tournament hasn’t been done before. He is definitely invited to the next one if this is a success though.
UltraDavid was considered, but I believe he hasn’t been practicing as much as some of the other guys on the list as you can see at:

Justin hasn’t moved over here so that’s why he’s on the list.
Curious…how would one go about starting to be invited to these things. I know you guys are amazing at SF, but there has to be that one guy somewhere who is better. I’m not saying its me but it’s just fact of life it has to be someone. how they going to walk and say i want in? that’s how it used to be at the arcades, but when you guys host these events, how’s a guy supposed to just walk up and register you know?
hey so will be on at 10 pm uk time ?
I dont believe there can be one player out there who plays no high level players then come out to a tournment and destroy all the top players.
so about 3 hours and a half from now? CANT WAIT GET HYPE!
@V Langs
You don’t just walk up and register, these guys have proven themselves time and time again to be forces to be reckoned with. Anybody staying at home playing that doesn’t come out to tournaments is not a force to be reckoned with.
@hadoshrooms
Yes that’s correct
Hi, nice job gootecks, all that is left is torrent link!
greetings form morocco!
