Sweet! Hope the coverage is pretty wide and not all-focused on the Capcom games.

Also, Evolution is in Vegas not la. Better stream is on ustream /evo2011 or srk and iplaywinner should have em up. Eventhubs too I suppose.

@MisterPhame Yeah utter fail on Joystiq there. I watched the SSIV:A semis live yesterday at the Rio in Las Vegas. Nothing beats a ballroom full of sweaty nerds and some of their girlfriends with surprisingly large bewbs.

Some pretty incredible fights today, especially Alex Valle versus Daigo and Justin Wong versus Mago.

@darkbunny157 I've been to all but one of the Evo tournaments since they came to Vegas and that match was probably my favorite.

@Kibbles XIII In the OLD SFIV tons used Abel. I've seen a couple, but Yun and FeiLong are the new Sagat and Ryu.

would be pretty awesome if they set up a boxing ring kind of place for this where we could view it in 3d

The stream in Playstation Home wasn't just laggy, it was a smeared slideshow. Totally worthless & another big fail for Home.

@MC Double Def DP It clearly says that home is testing the stream and they give you a work around. Reading failure? perhaps...

The stream was terrible. It was blocky and would randomly get garbled, forcing me to re-load the stream. This was happening to pretty much everyone else in my instance in Home as well.
