jajajajajajajajaj Roflmao!!!!!! Noobs

ahah the best part it was recorded on a camera.

what is this 2003... sony tube TV's

I could not tell at all what happened in that video. Everybody starts screaming and you never see what happens after that: you just see people screaming, plus a few shots of someone's back.

Very small TV. Why so lame?

That was awesome!

I also agree with the tiny TV comments...that shit is small for a tourney.

wow....

it is even more retarded when they slow it down at the end

Where your curly mustache at?

About the small CRT television... most tournaments have very small budgets, and most competitive players avoid HDTVs because of display lag.

I can see daigo umehara facepalming from here. :P

Of course it's a small TV, they're running a bunch of fights at these tournaments at once and they can't really afford rows of 50" HDTV's. Most of the equipment is probably loaned for use by people running/attending these things too. Fighting game tournaments are not particularly glamorous affairs.

That was incredible. nice post.

It's intense/hilarious shit like this that makes me love fighting games.

I think the Alex Valle vs. Daigo (Ken vs. Ken) was pretty good.

Like what everybody else said, get a new TV set. That defeat is embarassing. It's like sneaking behind an enemy to stab them to death, only for the enemy to turn around blow your brains out.

That guy at 3:30 is little crazy.

GOd, shut up about the tv already.

He got that mango sentinel!

I was following it up until the point where C.Viper started the Ultra, then everyone started jumping around like 'tards and I completely lost track of what was going on.

They are playing PS3, yeah.

That was so damn funny. Great video.

The using A CRT because there prob timing freaks and LCD's have a small delay from when you do something and you see it happen, unlike CRTs which are as close to instant as you can get.

awesome. also black people O_O

I had no idea Destructoid had so many pompous whiny pricks theres an average .6 second difference of screenlag on HDTVs compared to .2 on Tube set while playing consoles. Video was heart wrenching as a Sagat player who also played in the tournament.

Yeah, most tournaments and conventions rely on people lending equipment. Unless attendance is in the 10,000+ range, resources will be damn limited. Hell, I've been working conventions for fifteen years and it still amazes me the ignorance-fulled expectations of people when it comes to such events.

For instance, when I was recently scouting hotels for a new convention (which may not happen due to a recent financial emergency on my part) I looked into one that hosted comic book and anime cons in the past. The asking cost for just one day? $12,000. Another hotel that's hosted smaller cons? $10,000. And that's just for <i>one day.</i>

You can go much, much lower, but you end up in a bad part of town. And after that you have rental fees for any other equipment you need, printing fees for any programs and badges, advertising fees, appearance fees for any guests along with their airfare, budgets for all the departments, and so on. It's a lot of work and a shitload of money just to get the damn thing off the ground. So if the TVs aren't all that hot, or the prizes kind of weak... please try to understand.
