Finally, the matches from the Salty Suite are up! There are two main sets of matches, Daigo money matches and the $100 16-man High Roller tournament. Both of these took place on Saturday July 10th afterhours at Caesar’s Palace, Post-Evo 2010. The High Roller tournament was really exciting because it featured a lot of players that came from all ends of the globe. Most tournaments have an entry fee of $10, but we thought it’d be fun to do a $100 tourney and pay out top 3.
Here are the entrants in no particular order:
Leviathan (Hawaii)
Arturo “sabin” Sanchez (Team Spooky, NY)
Tokido (Yokohama, Japan)
Genghis (The Box Arena, San Diego)
Kyriptic (CT)
GamerBee (Taiwan)
RB (Taiwan)
Chi-Rithy (Canada)
DaggerG (Hawaii)
PerfectSin (VA)
EG.Marn (Pasadena, CA)
Blockus (Papua New Guinea)
Combojack (Monterey Park, CA)
Finals Matches from the High Roller Tournament
Here are the finals from the $100 16-man High Roller tournament.
Winners’ Finals: EG.Marn (Dudley) vs. GamerBee (Adon)
Losers’ Finals: EG.Marn (Dudley) vs. RB (Guy)
Grand Finals: EG.Marn (Rufus) vs. GamerBee (Adon)
Here are the rest of the matches from the High Roller tournament minus the Finals:
Daigo Money Matches
Daigo showed up to play his $500 match against Arturo Sanchez and ended up playing a bunch of other matches against several other players to warm up, as well as after his match with Arturo ended. Here are the matches:
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.

Also, if you are so inclined, we have t-shirts and posters available at the Bar Fights II store! The plan is also to do a DVD release of the whole thing, but we wanted to get the main event out ASAP so please spread the word.
Yay, I’m back! Yeah, it’s been a while, sorry for the lack of new shows. The good news is, here’s a new one! Topic of discussion is of course Evo 2009 which is right around the corner. This episode is the first of (probably) two episodes of phone/Skype interviews with various members of the community that will give several different perspectives on this year’s Evo, which is already guaranteed to be the biggest yet. Although it is a tournament, Evo is much more than just a competition to see who is the best in each game and that’s what I’m hoping to bring to the table with these special episodes.
This first episode has interviews with Mike Ross, Sabin and Ian Cofino. Mike Ross is Mike Ross so that’s why he’s on the show. Sabin is on Justin Wong’s team for the SF4 regional 5v5 exhibition match at Evo and Ian Cofino is the director of I Got Next, a documentary on the fighting game scene and will be at Evo to shoot footage for the longer cut of I Got Next will be released early next year.
Also included in the podcast is a special hip hop remix of some clips of Sabin and I from episode 23. Thank you to Jon Van Dalen for that! If you are so inclined, you can download it here.
Here are some of the I Got Next links mentioned by Ian:
