Norcal Regionals 9 recap and final thoughts

This tournament had some amazing upsets.

In SSFIV:AE, four Yuns made the top 4 and one of them won the tournament. Daigo takes another tournament. His new serious attitude toward the game shows the world that he was only playing around in the previous installments of the game. Will he be stopped at the next tournament?

The losers bracket matches of Ricky Ortiz vs Julio, Wolfkrone and Marn
Ricky took out out two Yuns then Wolkrone's Viper and made it into top 3. Vangief vs Wolfkrone was a match that people felt came too early in the bracket but was hype nontheless.

Filipino Champ and Justin Wong did not make it into top 8 surprisingly with Justin losing to Mr. Naps and his Evil Ryu and FutureChamps' Fei Long. Filipino Champ was very upset at his loss. He did play a best of five match vs. Daigo and beat his Ryu 3-2 but lost easily 3-0 vs. Daigo's Yun.
