You'll have better results submitting that story to Jezebel. They eat that shit up and ask for more without checking facts.

So Justin/Mike Ross/Itabashi Zangief for last chance SBO qualfier

Well, Gamerbee and RF did it with two and brought in Hsien Chang, so why the fuck not.

Also, RE: Kotaku and Gawker-affiliated sites - they're currently getting lit up left and right by major and indie studio people over a recent article where they whined that the studios refuse to give more information to the gaming press.

Truth of the matter is that no one wants to talk to Kotaku unless absolutely necessary. Even then, you have to triple bag that shit while praying that they won't twist your shit. Funny to watch.

Kotaku isnt gaming press. wtf you talking about? lol

**Weltall** · 2012-08-03 10:08

**Callisto** · 2012-08-03 10:32

Kotaku is like the TMZ of gaming media

i've been saying this shit for YEARS. it's a shitty blog that seems to get 90%+ of its content from elsewhere on the web, re-written by semiliterate mouthbreathers who couldn't string a decent sentence together if their lives depended on it. i sincerely hope none of their staff actually get paid for their contributions, because that would probably be the most depressing thing ever.

While Capcom said in an earnings report Street Fighter X Tekken’s sales were cannibalized because too many fighting games were on the market, the producer of Street Fighter X Tekken for PlayStation Vita feels different about the market situation. I asked Tomoaki Ayano how he felt about the surge of fighting games not just from Capcom, but other developers like Tecmo Koei and Arc System Works.

"As you mentioned, in the fighting game genre there are a lot of different companies coming out with new games every month. If we flip it and look at it, it means this is a hot genre. It’s a genre developers want to get into because there are a lot of users out there that are buying the games," Ayano answered. "There is definitely a lot more competition nowadays, but Capcom has always had faith in its brands like Street Fighter. We’re always going to make the best fighting game out there no matter what the age is or when we release games. This year is the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter and we’re looking at new ways to go towards the next 25 years to give users the best possible experience."

One of the 25th anniversary collaborations is a series of Street Fighter Hello Kitty dolls. Capcom has a history of working with Sanrio and they two companies recently agreed to add My Melody and Kuromi costumes for Felyne de Puzzle. I jokingly asked Amayo if he’s working on Sanrio X Street Fighter. Amayo laughed, "Yeah, that would be cool. I think it’s a great idea."

"Personally, I think it’s great that users out there have a lot of choices to choose from. It’s not like back in the day where there were only a few fighting games. There’s much more variety," Amayo added.

I agree especially since JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD is making a comeback. Yoshinori Ono always teases Darkstalkers too so I asked Ayano if he heard anything about Darkstalkers coming back from the grave.

"Ono-san always surprises us as well," Ayano said. "I’d like to ask him as well, because I don’t know what the deal is myself!"

**Kiarax** · 2012-08-03 20:18

The organization for this tournament is a fucking joke. All this shit is good for is bootleg Aquapazza streams.

**octopus** · 2012-08-03 20:22

According to Twitter, Justin's team plays Kindevu's team in last chance qualifier. Winner plays Shiro vs Nishiki team.

**octopus** · 2012-08-03 20:25

Kyabetsu beat Justin, Pamyu defeated Mike Ross, dunno about Itabashi Zangief yet.

**octopus** · 2012-08-03 20:36

Yeah, Itazan lost to Kindevu and lost so Justin is out.
