BURY THE LIGHT DEEP WITHIN

Go home and be a family man!
I'm trying to find the worst SF4 tournament of all time. I'm pretty sure it was in whatever iteration the fighting game thread was on 10 years ago, and it sounds so out there and downright fake, if i didnt remember so many details I'd be 100% convinced it was all a dream.

All the players were playing at the same time on a big stage on couches and monitors or projectors, the two hosts, a man and a woman, just wandered around talking to the players WHILE PLAYING.
The feed would cut back and forth between random games happening at that time and the hosts, often just holding for uncomfortable amounts of time on the hosts trying to have a conversation with the uncomfortable and annoyed competitors or just a closeup of one of their faces as they watch the match that you as the viewer cannot see.
This wasnt wandering cell phone or camcorder footage of a normal tournament floor or something, but the actual intended professional production. Like it was just all put together by someone who seriously had no idea what someone would want to see out of a videogame tournament (such as seeing a complete match beginning to end)

Please let one of my fellow Old Folks remember this too, not only to help me find the footage but to also reassure myself that my brain hasnt already rotted away

The pixel lobby is kinda a neat idea, but it's just so clunky. I definitely see how someone convinced management to go with it though

Luckily in the full release you can just queue for matches right out of training mode or join private lobbies or whatever so you don't have to really engage with it if ya don't want to.

I’m not sure if it was an official capcom funded thing or not but it was certainly seemed like a professional group and not some single nerd just doing it themselves. I vaguely feel like it might have been a group that has done other events or tournaments but couldn’t wrap their heads around fighting games or how to present them.

It wasn’t those, for one this had to be pre-AE based on the apartment I was living in when I saw it. Also just skipping through it looked like there was lots of actual gameplay. How I remember this one was mostly wandering around a dark stage with bright spotlights with scattered pairs of players and sometimes cutting to a random game feed for like 10 seconds then back to wandering around the stage.

Do you have the names of any of the LOL type streamers from 2010? It’s possible it was one of them and this would greatly help narrow the search

After watching people in Florida play against people in Japan and it's actually playable, I'm super stoked for Strive.

Just hope the lobbies aren't going to be as trash as the last beta.

The lobbies are still clunky but apparently there's going to be a rematch option in the full game which would fix the worst part about it.

I just saw the SFV Rose reveal and holy poo poo her model and stage looks worse than KoF14.

That scarf is loving flat. It looked so much better in SF4. What a piece of poo poo that game continues to be.

EDIT: also image being excited to get to spend meter to backdash.

SFV character designs are repulsive to me. I've never seen something so clearly horny yet so unattractive and grotesque at the same time. And I even turned on my monitor!

That Rose model is very much early in development and they have said so, they probably just scrambled together a functioning model to show off her moves.

They were literally previewing WIP stuff for people to see what she's going to look like, just like they were showing concept art and mocap footage.

It is extremely obviously alpha footage with the lighting not done.

The finished poo poo in SFV also looks like dog poo poo though.

the last good street fighter came out in the 90s but if you want a game where you don't have to join some random discord to troll for matches it's still probably one of your better options

I definitely don't think she fits the style of "Ugly clay + poop" that SFV goes for but out of the games context I thought Rose looked really cool and simple in a way the rest of the cast should be.

I also watched that on my phone soooo probably a bad judge.

mistake is a strong word since a lot of people enjoy playing it but i personally hate it. itll always hold a special place in my heart though because sfv being bad made me branch out to guilty gear and tekken where otherwise i probably would have stuck to sf games where i was most comfortable.
