    It was the best match so far. Really impressive.

    So many killers everywhere goddamn. That Top 250 will be ludicrously stacked.

    I may have missed it in a post but are we doing a chat of any sorts? GB or unofficial. Also will any/all of the streams be on that one unofficial GB/community stream site? I'd like to have my pick of streams in one place.

    Ye,s I know I'm being very vague but I don't recall the site address(help?). Thanks duders!

    @kirillorlov: If you're talking about http://www.giantbomb.com/chat that won't be up today because the SF office is going to be doing UPF but I believe it will be up tomorrow with srkevo1 and srkevo2 and up on Sunday with srkevo1. The only stream you won't get there is the unofficial madcatz stream.

    Tekken Tag 2 with the legendary MarkMan + Filthierich commentary combo on evosrk2 I expect them to commentate the finals on evosrk1 later and Filtherich to team up with Maximilian for Killer Instinct finals on Sunday.

    @hassun: Rolento I think? He sent a tweet to Balrog after losing badly saying he was garbage or something, was pretty incredible. He's either a phenomenal troll or just amazingly silly to begin with.

    He used to play Rose. Though if he switched to Rolento like @fredchuckdave says, it would fit his name better.

    I'm trying to like the streams that are playing, but I've had to turn off the audio off on the Tekken Tag 2 stream because the current announcers are really off-putting. I'm watching the Super Smash Bros one and it's slightly better. Just unfortunately I don't care for the game that much.

    Hopefully the Street Fighter 4 and KOF streams will have good broadcasters.

    I have not seen it. I've only seen the two streams srkevo1 and srkevo2. LOL Well I gotta switch over now cause these guys are just laughing at their own jokes every other minute.

    Thanks for updating me. Didn't even notice the 3rd link for capcomfighters.

    Yeah the street fighter broadcast is so much better. I wish others would take note on how to broadcast.

    @cloudyimpulse: Here's the link for it if you needed it, goes until ~5:00PM PST today then it'll be on SRK1 for the rest of today and Sunday evening

    Aris and Reepal will be commentating TTT2 in a bit so all is well. Knowledgable and hype commentators.

    @starvinggamer: Do you want to take bets on whether he'll say a sexist comment or a homophobic comment 1st? It'll be all over Twitter and Kotaku will have it as a front page story and all the people who think that the entire FGC is just like Aris will come out from the woodwork spreading misinformation and the FGC will get set back another 2 years to the days of the Cross Assault incident, which I might Aris is responsible for.

    "I've never played Pokemon before because I'm not gay." - Aris during Evo 2012 Soulcalibur V top 8 commentary to 40,000 viewers.

    I'd rather blame Tom and Tony Cannon and Joey Cuellar for allowing him on.
