Who's better at Street Fighter? Well, from a very limited sample of people that could make it to Capcom's brawl at CES in Las Vegas this year, we can conclude that PlayStation fans are the Street Fighting champs. Team PlayStation was represented by Joe C., who uppercutted Major Nelson's representative, Josh, to victory. Professor PlayStation (Jeff Rubenstein) awarded him a Star Wars Battlefront PSP and a chance to get obliterated by Street Fighter legend Justin Wong.
Kudos to all that participated. As PS3 fans, we have to thank Joe for representing PlayStation and showing Xbox gamers all over the world that we're a force to be reckoned with. At least in Street Fighter.

I don't know what's stranger. The guy being awe-struck by a PSP or that FedEx delivering it.

Curious to know why would the PSP get delivered, I mean they have PS organizers there, it's not like they can't bring one with them and also, for how long was it in the box? did they deliver it right after he won? I must know these things! Andrew, please try to get to the bottom of this.

The finals were played best 3 out of 5, once on the 360 and once on the PS3(as AltCtrlPwn noted, they played with the official arcade sticks). Joe C. swept 3-0, 3-0.
I found video of both matches, they're low quality but here they are anyway.

I went ahead and posted these on the Playstation Blog this morning and I have to give credit to ancientflounder on Youtube for having the good sense to record the matches and post them.

From the article:
" . . . 4 PS3 Street Fighter setups with the official, upcoming Mad Catz arcade sticks and Fight Pads, and a bracket of fighters ready to whup each other up in Street Fighter IV."
Even better -- no excuses ;-)

i lol'd at the "at least in street fighter" part, i own both consoles but god i regret my ps3. the 360 has better games and live is better then psn, if i hold out a while longer it'll be worth it though since god of war 3 and ff13 versus are exclusive :)

I saw a similar article on thegamershow.com. The guy there actually participated in the tourney. Pretty damn cool....damn it! Those are the perks when you live in Las Vegas hahaha....stuff happens to you lol. I'd like to interview this bloke from thegamershow, he must be some important guy if he got invited to participate. That's it!! Next year I'm hitting up CES. I'll miss school if I have to haha!
