Wow, what a weekend!  The Street Fighter 4/3rd Strike SBO 2009 Qualifiers were held at Denjin Arcade and they were awesome!   Congrats to the SF4 winners, Combofiend and Alex Valle, as well as the 3rd Strike winners Emphy, Rom and Ricky Ortiz!  It was a ridiculously long day (10am-2am) but it was still a lot of fun.  Slasher (from Live on 3 with djWHEAT) and I did live streaming video coverage of the event.

If you were lucky enough to catch the stream on UFragTV, then you know how epic the entire day was (especially the finals). About 30 teams participated and we had some hard-hitting teams.

Some of the crazier matches were Mike Ross/Keno vs. haunts/MAGUS1234, iloveu/Sabin vs. fuson909/ComboJack and of course the grand finals between Ken I/Ed Ma and Combofiend/Alex Valle.  All of the matches were recorded and will be available on UFragTV very soon. We still have to go through the matches and edit them a little bit.
