Hadouken: Matches from The Salty Suite including Daigo, GamerBee & more


Finally, the matches from the Salty Suite are up! There are two main sets of matches, Daigo money matches and the $100 16-man High Roller tournament. Both of these took place on Saturday July 10th afterhours at Caesar’s Palace, Post-Evo 2010. The High Roller tournament was really exciting because it featured a lot of players that came from all ends of the globe. Most tournaments have an entry fee of $10, but we thought it’d be fun to do a $100 tourney and pay out top 3.

Here are the entrants in no particular order:

  • Leviathan (Hawaii)
  • Arturo “sabin” Sanchez (Team Spooky, NY)
  • Tokido (Yokohama, Japan)
  • Genghis (The Box Arena, San Diego)
  • Kyriptic (CT)
  • GamerBee (Taiwan)
  • RB (Taiwan)
  • Chi-Rithy (Canada)
  • DaggerG (Hawaii)
  • PerfectSin (VA)
  • EG.Marn (Pasadena, CA)
  • Blockus (Papua New Guinea)
  • Combojack (Monterey Park, CA)

Finals Matches from the High Roller Tournament

Here are the finals from the $100 16-man High Roller tournament.

  • Winners’ Finals: EG.Marn (Dudley) vs. GamerBee (Adon)
  • Losers’ Finals: EG.Marn (Dudley) vs. RB (Guy)
  • Grand Finals: EG.Marn (Rufus) vs. GamerBee (Adon)

Here are the rest of the matches from the High Roller tournament minus the Finals:

Daigo Money Matches

Daigo showed up to play his $500 match against Arturo Sanchez and ended up playing a bunch of other matches against several other players to warm up, as well as after his match with Arturo ended. Here are the matches:

Hadouken: Daigo Umehara vs. Arturo “sabin” Sanchez – The Rematch!


Part 1

Part 2

FINALLY!!!! Sorry for the delay guys, it was completely out of my hands. This match is a runback of THE match of 2009, where Arturo took Daigo all the way down to the last game last round and pulled it off! This time, it again comes down to last game last round, but I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it!

This match took place afterhours at Evo 2010 in the NorCal Salty Suite at Caesar’s Palace. Thank you to Machinima Respawn for getting it up on the channel as well as for getting a translator to translate Tokido and Eita’s commentary in part 1. Thank you to Team Spooky for streaming and recording this epic match. Also thank you to the English commentators for this match, Combojack and Chris Hu, whose genius idea it was to have the Japanese commentate for the first half.

If you haven’t seen the first match these guys played last year, check it out below:

Glenn from Get Your Tournament has an awesome statistical breakdown of the match as well. So please check that out if you want an in-depth look at some of the nuances of this match.

Will we see another runback at Evo Japan?!?!? Post in the comments if you would like to see it!

Hadouken: AfroShoto Sneak Peek Party with me, Mike Ross & Combofiend


This Sunday is the AfroShoto Sneak Peek party featuring music by Miles Mosley and Kamasi Washington and an 8-man invitational tournament with myself, Mike Ross, Combofiend, EG.Justin Wong and more! AfroShoto is the soundtrack to I Got Next, the documentary on the SF4 scene featuring myself, Mike Ross, iloveu Joe and Justin Wong.

Miles and Kamasi will be performing some of the cuts from AfroShoto, a sample of which you can check out here. I’m really excited to be a part of this event because our goal is to make this spot a place where people can come enjoy watching great music and top players compete, while kicking back a few drinks.

If this works out, then we’ll be doing a lot more events like these in the future. It is 21+ unfortunately, so sorry kids, we’ll have something for you another time. :)
