Street Fighter IV: Shiozawa Cup
Hot new videos from the recent 5on5 "Shiozawa Cup" tournament. "What's a Shiozawa Cup?" Glad you asked!
The Shiozawa Cup
was a 5on5 SFIV tournament, held the day before Super
Battle Opera in Tokyo. It seemed to
start as an internet joke but quickly became a reality,
and is named after SFIV project manager and official
Japanese SFIV
blogger Shiozawa-san
(pictured).
In addition to having an amusing backstory, the tournament was also filled with top players, all in town for Super Battle Opera. You can see the US team in action above (Team "Let's Go Justin" - Ricky Ortiz (Rufus), fLoE (Sagat), Sabin (Dhalsim), Justin Wong (Rufus), Marn (Rufus) VS Team "Gachi Muchiri Revenger" - Kuroken @ Potemkin (Sagat), Aloha (Zangief), Namameso (E. Honda), AC Revenger (Abel), FZ (Viper).
Check out lots more fun footage at Eventhubs, including a ton of Japanese superstars, with a final between Daigo Umehara's team and Ojisan's team.
