    @starvinggamer: Well that certainly makes things easier. With any luck for the developers, Skullgirls will be able to get a similar number of viewers as they would received during this weekend when it was live.

    I hope so too, I'm sure between Spooky, Combo Breaker and word of mouth on Twitter will get a lot of viewers.

    If I'm reading this right, Capcom is letting Protour events continue with the version they used previously until further notice (aka they fix the PS4 mess)

    @westernwizard:

    UPDATE:

    Please note that these statements are from Capcom.

    For those experiencing issues and wondering about a patch, we are aware that you are experiencing problems with the PS4 version of USFIV, which was published and developed by SCEA’s Third Party Production group. SCEA and Capcom are currently looking into the issues that some users may be experiencing and are working to resolve them as quickly as possible. We will continue to provide updates on our progress.

    A lot of our more competitive players have wondered how the USFIV version of PS4 will affect them and the tour. To that we'd like to advise that the integrity of the Capcom Pro Tour is a top priority for us and we will continue to work with tournament organizers worldwide to ensure that the highest quality event will be run. Each region will maintain its current hardware standard for the remainder of the 2015 Capcom Pro Tour until otherwise announced. We will keep you updated as to when the PS4 version of USFIV will be integrated into the Pro Tour.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay tuned for future information.

    I guess there's a patch for USFIV PS4 being submitted for cert tomorrow!? Sadly I don't think this is indicative of a super-fast bug fixing team and more that they knew their game was broke-ass and simply couldn't get their day-one patch done in time. Well, at least maybe it will be in playable shape sooner rather than later?

    @hassun: FFM Rumble pools are here, looks like Luffy has to beat Bonchan, Tokido, Poongko, and Ebi for non trivial points.

    I'd be curious to see a US vs Europe event or 10v10 where East Asian players weren't allowed to compete, Japan doesn't seem to be scared of EU at this point.

    Aside: A 5v5 of top American and European players Pad vs Stick would be a massacre in favor of the pad players.

    @fredchuckdave: Yep there are a few killers in the house. Luffy has indicated Poongko is one of his demons too so it might be tough road.

    Is there a stream schedule? Once we get that we can make an FFMR post.

    We know the streams at least:

    Capcom Games will be streamed here: http://www.twitch.tv/fight_club_nrw

    ArcSys Games will be streamed here: http://twitch.tv/hardedgeofficial

    P.S. "Kalle Cumshot" is a quality name.

    @fredchuckdave: Internalising that shit like a pro. Clutch is what separates the good players from the great players after all.

    Good matches so far though. EBI on fire. Poongko making it look easy. Tokido and Valmaster putting on a good match.

    Time for Luffy vs Bonchan 4.

    Dark Jiewa vs EBI: Shoryuken man vs Focus man

    Pro Fluke going from Eliminating Bonchan to losing to Hugo...

    @fredchuckdave: Infexious is certainly the player of the day so far. I've never seen a Sagat so scared of Hugo before.

    Tokido vs. Valmaster up next.

    Also winners finals is Luffy vs Poongko. Let's see if Luffy can conquer one of his demons.

    Not going to lie, with all these default costumes I'm kind of liking purple Tokido.

    Let's see if Infexious is immune to MURDER.

    Looks like Infexious is adapting by using his low kick to out-range Tokido.

    If Bonchan hadn't lost we probably wouldn't have gotten to see all this amazing Hugo play so I guess I'm content.

    So Poongko beats Luffy and then Luffy effortlessly beats Infexious to get a rematch with Poongko?

    If Luffy wins this I could see Infexious beating Poongko due to Seth having the same ultra low hp as Akuma.

    But then I can't see Infexious beating Luffy. :|

    @flstyle: That means Capcom and Sony have no confidence that they will be able to fix it any time soon. Ouch.

    CPT points after this event:

    Luffy: 196 -> Moves to 8th place

    Poongko: 308 -> Moves to 3rd place

    Infexious: 32 -> Moves to 28th-29th place

    Tokido: 208 -> Stays at 7th place

    Forgot the rest.

    Congratulations to Luffy for winning and slaying one of his demons at the same time!

    @hassun: I don't think they've sponsored Infiltration since Final Round. He just puts the tag in his name. I think they are sponsoring a Makoto player next.

    That Hugo was amazing. Man, Rose's backdash recovers so fast. Didn't Poongko destroy Luffy in the other events they went to? Luffy finally beat his demon?

    Maybe, I think it's just Evo stamping out a potential problem quickly and efficiently personally.

    I would very much like to see Infexious and Yung Art in the Capcom Cup, hope they keep racking up the points!

    @flstyle: I've been thinking about the EVO thing. Now that USFIV is on 360 the only game the PS4 will be used for is MKX. I could see people pushing for MKX on the Xone instead of PS4 because of the ESL.

    @fredchuckdave: The solution is obvious!

    Also since Infexious is the talk of the town at FFM-R, here is the match he had with Valmaster at Stunfest!
