Or maybe people that are all finished school and working good jobs have money and are the age group that likes ST.

Yeah, I know, it's mostly the salt talking, but it really does seem like kind of a troll move to wait until two days before and blow both contenders out of the water and give them false hope and whatever.

Not that it's necessarily over yet, and hey, boobies, but I'll admit it, I'm demoralized. And the sodium content of my blood has gone up significantly.

You're right of course. But let me wallow in my salt a little :D

Still astonished that our community mustered so much $$$ to begin with, amazingly cool stuff and glad to have been / be a part of it

Whenever I look at the "up to date" score thing, it says that ST only has 9000 something....

Well that's plus 30 thousand for cancer research. Kinda hard to be mad. Not to mention the whole drive thingy tomorrow when we steal back the lead.

Japanese players usually gather at BBSes, which work in a similar fashion to 2ch, or 4chan textboards. I'm looking onto this right now, I found 2 BBSes for ST, but neither of them has any recent activity, so I'm afraid they're taking it private.

http://bbs.t-akiba.net/sf2/bbs.cgi -- random BBS I found on google
http://ikura.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/gamefight/1257272179/ current 2ch thread
http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/game/45109/ BBS linked on the japanese wiki

If you want to search on twitter, they usually go by

スパ２Ｘ (Super 2X)
スーパーストリートファイターIIＸ (Super Street Fighter 2X)
スト2Ｘ (Street 2X)

Or variations between 2X and IIＸ. I'm somewhat busy right now, so I can't dive too deep onto this, but I'll be up for it later. I'm also up for translation requests.

Quoting my last post for an update --

It seems their main source of communication is twitter, and it also seems that most of them are making individual donations. I found a lot of interesting tweets, once I'm able to sort them out, I'll translate the most interesting ones.

GUYS WHATEVER GROUP OR PERSON DONATED THAT MASSIVE AMOUNT IS OUT NOW

THEY'RE TRYING TO RELY ON HYPE SO THEY CAN STAY IN THE LEAD FOR THE LAST 24 HOURS, THIS lS OUR CHANCE TO ATTACK

WE CAN STILL WIN THIS, AND THE FAVORS ARE STILL WITH US TO WIN THIS

IF THE ST COMMUNITY WAS ACTIVE MUCH MORE WOULD'VE BEEN DONATED BY NOW

DON'T GIVE UP WHEN WHEN WE'RE ABOUT TO WIN

Welp I've gotten over it. Time to chillax and enjoy the show. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

I wonder if T.Hawk is going to win...

I like the sentiment, but I don't think that dude has any better an idea of where this money is coming from (or how much of it there is) than any of us do. This wasn't his effort, I don't think.

New plan: post on 4chan, get trolls to vote for Melee.

"LOL, anons lets get this children's party game in Evo. Wouldn't that be hilarious?"

Papasi said he had a big ST announcement to make a few days before this happened. This was definitely his work so they are very likely out of that kind of momentum right now.
