Distribution Methods
As I mentioned in the LA Riots I post, we are trying out different distribution models for LA Riots and this is an opportunity to try another one. I found out yesterday that there is a 3 GB file size limit for all the torrents on MiniNova. LA Riots II is 3.4 GB, putting it well over the limit. Because of that, LA Riots is available to download in two forms: free via Bit Torrent and via direct download for $2.99. If you don’t want to download the whole thing, it’ll be on YouTube soon so sit tight.
Free Bit Torrent Download
As with LA Riots I, Bar Fights II and Arturo vs. Daigo: Match of 2009, LA Riots II is available for download via Bit Torrent for free. Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, the file size limit is 3GB, so I had to split it into two torrents.
Download Part I
Download Part II
Direct Download
Also available for your convenience is a direct download option for $2.99, which means you:
- don’t have to mess around with the downsides of Bit Torrent (firewalls, slow download speeds, BT clients)
- get LA Riots II in one big file instead of having to wait to download it from two separate torrents
- directly support LA Riots and help us cover our costs which will allow us to do future LA Riots events

awesome!!! thanks for the dl and keep up the good work gootecks =D
Thanks for the matches and I’ll hang on seeding as well
This is awesome. Thanks Ryan. I was wondering though, when is part 2 of LA Riots 1 going to get put up?
^_^
Sweet! Thanks for all the hard work keeping the fighting game scene going strong!
p.s. I like the videos too. : )
Awesome, thank you.
Come on people, seed that shit!!
comon everyone, get the seeding going on the torrent!
You need a seedbox Ryan thanks for the vids! I think most of us are still waiting for LA Riots1 part 2. You rox my sox!
Apart from a seedbox, the best thing to do when distributing stuff of this size is to first send it to a few people who have good connections so instead of just one seed you have 5-10 seeds.
Good job man, looking forward to seeing it! Thank you for all your hard work..
Hei Gootecks,
keep up the great administrative you do. Also I’m your fan with boxer. Btw please try to make a direct download the torrents are sucked. Can’t wait to see Walle vs Shizza.
Hey Ryan bro, I want to see myself pwn shizza why don’t you host the file at filefront.com
The audio for part II seems to be out of sync. Had to shift it by +2400ms to get it back in sync.
I want to repeat the request of Dan above.
May we please get part 2 of LA Riots 1?
If not, please tell us so we dont wait in vain
Thanks very much in advance, I love seeing these tournies.
I had to set audio to -8700 ms on media player classic for part 2
Excellent fights either way. The fuerte ones were pretty awesome!
LA Riots I Part II is coming soon don’t worry!
My friend just bought SFIV for ps3 and we play every day at lunch. But we still don`t have a fight stick beacouse its too expensive. We play like shizza except it is on ps3 pad. It`s really hard to do some of the combos. Well thx to gootckes once again to the hard work of growing this communite. Plz come to Brazil and do Brazil Riots ! lol
and if you are actually considering YES WE HAVE HOOTERS ! lol
Kai vs Combofiend is by far the best match in LA Riots history..
Hey Gootecks, really enjoy your videos but unfortunately the audio is not synced in part 2
This show looks better produced than some cable tv shows.
Is there a chance of the Part 2 being fixed soon?
out of sync audio! dont u guys check it b4 release it??
VLC solves the out of sync problem.
If you play it out of Quicktime on windows, the audio sync problem is lessened. I figure it’s something inherent to the mac editing software.
Do you expect people to pay for an inadequate product that you don’t plan on fixing? At least fix the audio before you decide to charge $4 for it.
Aye VLC fixed the audio sync.
And thanks for the show, gonna keep seeding for a while.
Cheers from Sweden!
The audio on part 2 isn’t out of sync update your codecs, modify, them or get a better player. Thanks gootecks. Just watched this with with no problem!
Is the audio sync issue fixed in the full download?
@EvilBeanDip
You are my favorite person of the day.
no option 4 maestro payment
is this just a U.K thing?
wooot!!! ryan, you THE man once again! mad props to you for the excellent stuff you keep cranking out. more power, more pwnage, more gootecks.com!
peace out.
8P
really nice good job ryan, appreciate it as usual
Really enjoyable watch, great idea with the digestible length and production Gootecks. As a result I have been able to introduce other non-sf4 playing people to this tournament, they can understand what’s going on, and they don’t have to sit there to watch a 2 day tournament. This feels like a short and sweet pay per view. Really good for the more casual watchers.
@Muttonhead
Thank you, you made my day, that’s exactly what I’m trying to accomplish
Thanks for the upload, but i watched this on my xbox and unfortunately part 2 is out of sync and theres no way to update xbox video codec. Plus that solution doesn’t even make any sense.
No you guys – the video is the problem. You can run it in software mode using VLC, but that does not explain the issue.
Video 1 is perfect. Video 2 is waaay out of sync. It isn’t our codecs.
I bought the full version and the sound is fine.
Watched it all the way through. Like someone mentioned, it really does have the feel of a PPV event or something. Props to everyone involved, but especially Gootecks for bringing more hype to the scene (and giving me stuff to look forward to away from work). Definitely going to support the guy’s efforts in the future.
Just got around to downloading and watching this, fantastic work the scene would be so much bigger and better with more people putting this kind of work into it.
Good shit Gootecks and all others involved.
Hey gootecks! Great stuff here! I’m a Brazilian SF player and I love all the SF4 matches you guys got it going here and arcade infinity. Keep up the good work!
Quick question though, I’m looking for the second part of the first LA Riots, but I can’t find it anywhere, did I miss something?
Can’t wait for LA Riots 3 maybe I get to see more of Mike Ross’ jacket lolz
I love you guys! (no homo)
Hey there, and greetings from Sweden ^^
Love these L.A Riots tournaments you’re hosting, can’t wait to see more of the talent all of the people at these tournaments possess.
Just wanted to post a thanks for posting this and making it downloadable.
Cheers, and I hope you keep doing this, it’s awesome ^^
