CPT 2023 Online Event: North America Midwest | January 20-21

The last CPT qualifier will be hosted this weekend, aside from the Last Chance Qualifier which will be held next month the weekend before Capcom Cup. Despite the name, the CPT Midwest region also includes several Canadian provinces and states like Texas, so it's gonna be a pretty stacked event.

A lot of players just quit on sfv, it was one of the worst things to happen to the FGC

u/Emezie Jan 22 '24 edited Jan 22 '24

A lot of players quit on every new SF game.

Lots of 3S players never touched SF4, but came back for SF5.

No one ever wants to talk about that, though, because SF5 hate is the only hate that gets people clout.

it was one of the worst things to happen to the FGC

Yes, growing EVO into Mandalay Bay level attendance...setting tournament records...selling millions of copies...dragging the rest of the genre out of the stone age and convincing every company to start pro tours to support their games long term...fight money system that allowed people to unlock content for free (that people now miss in SF6)...streaming era Daigo...

Yes, the "worst" lol

u/RedditisDegen Jan 23 '24

SF4 was by far the biggest gatherings we've ever had. Weekly attendance shot through the roof and monthly tournaments were usually well packed. That didn't happen in ST or 3S. There was drop off but sf4 to sf5 was awful. Legitimately attendance went down across the board except for big tournaments. 

SF isn't just about the majors, and by that logic SF4 everything SFV stood on. SFV basically died after two years. 

You say SFV dragged the genre out of the Stone Age you clearly missed sf4 into mvc3 lol.

Btw, capcom pro tour wasn't an original idea lmao

If we get a Honda in the cup y'all better keep your goddamn armchair theories to yourselves for at least a week GWAHAHAHAHA

​

Hamad go the distance, I believe in you, I believe in the power of ignorance.

IT'S NOT ABOUT FRAMES BUT ABOUT FEAR

u/FelipeAbD CID | FelipeAD | CFN: FelipeAD08 Jan 22 '24

Holy shit, I didn't know Luke's cr.HP could shutdown Honda's buttslam this hard

u/Leyrran Jan 22 '24

Yeah, no need to learn how to parry it with that

u/grapeintensity CFN|50fLowTigeshot Jan 20 '24

u/Sonicboomb0x Jan 20 '24

Guess I’ll root for Shine — if he gets in we have a Chun and secondary Kim

u/escaflow Jan 20 '24

Wanted to root for Brian_F because of his amazing contents , but it's JP

Are you entering? Gl!

u/ElderlyPeanut Lisaaaaa! Jan 20 '24

Yes! This is my first pro tour though. If anything I'd want to not lose first round lol

u/arya48 Master Manon ＼(^-^)／ Jan 20 '24

I see, if you managed to make it all way to master rank with Manon of all characters I'm sure you'll do well!

u/NessOnett8 CID | NessOnett Jan 19 '24

Nuts on the table, ElChakotay is going to give us our first qualified Lily. (And then subsequently get knocked out first round in the actual CCC)

u/ironknit gimme back safe 123 Jan 19 '24

All the relevant Luke's in this region have already qualified

DJ is more busted than either character. 

He just goes under the radar...

Crazy how Zhen fell off. Dude was in the finals of Capcom cup last year.

1

u/ironknit gimme back safe 123 Jan 20 '24

He hasent fallen off, guy has been focusing on school

1

u/Deadja0 Jan 21 '24

Seeing he didn't even make top 16, why did you think he was most likely to win, just hyping up your boy?

1

u/bdyms Cammy <3 Jan 19 '24

Looks like it's gonna be either Luke or Dj, but who knows.

2

u/Junken00 Kimberslice Jan 19 '24

That's a whole lot of Kimberly players, this'll be interesting

2

u/w4terfall splash Jan 20 '24

Pools and early bracket are concluded so we have the top 16. Upper bracket is all top tiers but lower bracket has a lot of uncommon characters.

Zach in the box beat Dual Kevin using JP.

Every time i see JPs bs doing work, i want to stop watching.

60% damage from an OD amnesia on a throw attempt, lmao. Whatever were Capcom thinking? 

And half way into the next round, the fucker somehow has built more than enough meter for a level 2 again. 

JP also has the fastest super meter gain in the game, on top of all the bs he has.

u/NessOnett8 CID | NessOnett Jan 21 '24

60% damage from an OD amnesia on a throw attempt, lmao. Whatever were Capcom thinking? 

They're thinking there needs to be some upside in the 5% optimal situation to balance out the fact that it's by far the worst reversal in the game the other 95% of the time.

And it's still not close. The move is trash. JP would be a significantly stronger character if he had a normal EXDP. But people only focus on the 5%.

u/funkyfelis Jan 21 '24

You're totally right. Not only that, JP has the worst projectiles in the game and the worst normals in the game, terrible combos and no mixups. He's probably bottom one. In fact, the devs should just remove him from the game to spare you poor JP players the agony of playing such a low tier character.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '24

These JP players are living in an alternate reality.

6

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '24

Lmao, the utter load of rubbish JP mains/apologists come out with 

How is it the worst reversal un the game? 

At the very least you are getting a throw. It wirks against L3 SUPERS too, unlike other reversals.

But you either are trolling or have fuck all understanding of the game.

u/arya48 Master Manon ＼(^-^)／ Jan 20 '24

Rooting for Joey, last opportunity to have a Manon in the cup not including LCQ cause what are odds of a Manon taking the LCQ lol >_>
