When I was watching over the weekend there were a couple people talking about the console character dilemna. I am no expert on the topic at all, I actually just started watching. But, it seems to me that there should be no problem with people playing console characters.

Capcom put the characters in the console version, and the tournaments are running on the PS3 (stupid that they aren’t using the Xbox 360). If they are running a tournament on consoles, all characters are open game the way I see it. People from Japan just need to play the console version. Is it really too much to ask? I mean, they have the 360 and PS3 in Japan too.

As far as character switching, i thought that was kind of weird. I mean, most people end up just sticking with one character throughout the entire tournament it is weird when you see a person switch between matches and even in the middle of a match.

Wak: Yeah, I am actually somewhat stumped as to how I feel about the character switching and console character dilemma. I kinda wish that there was a world-wide understanding of what we are all playing. Japan only plays arcade version of SF4 with no character changing, while everyone else plays the console version with character changing on loss… Not only that, Japan is at a total disadvantage when it comes to console specific characters. I think that Japan has to start playing the home version and that is seriously a lot to ask of them. article time…

PS: Yeah, Justin is really a freaking cocky turd. He is really good, but needs to be less of a weenie.

Yeah, I was working on a freelance project and had the ustream open throughout most of the 3rd day. Watched the MVC tournament and on. It was pretty awesome.

I didn’t like how Justin Wong would celebrate all of his victories though… it seemed bad sportsmanship. I was pretty glad to see him lose. Again.

That said – the matchup was pretty intense. The Balrog switch was nice and it was awesome to see it go to the last set in the last match. That said – UStream Viewers are pretty crappy in the chat room.

Dude, I was watching the ustream last night for the SFIV finals, it was fucking intense meng. By the end there were over 22k viewers watching like on ustream, it was nuts.

also, I don’t recall Wong picking Rufus when fighting Daigo. I know when he played everybody else he was playing rufus but int he final matchup He picked Able first and lost that game, then he was straight to Balrog and won that game making it 1 and 1. Then Daigo won the next game, and then Wong won the next 2 to win the match which caused the reset.

either way, it was fucking amazing to watch.
