As many of you should already know, Super Street Fighter IV was released on April 27, 2010. Immediately following, on May 1, 2010, we held a launch tournament that went out with a bang! Some of the most intense battles we’ve ever seen took place, all the way through the top 8! ShinAkuma, former Central Canadian Street Fighter IV undefeated champion, was knocked to the losers bracket early in the ladder.

Desperate to make it to the finals, he pushed his main, Akuma, into overdrive and pulverized his way into the finals with a close game with JinRong87 on the losers side which came down to a clutch finish, almost knocking ShinAkuma out of the tournament for good. But, desperate to end the fight, seeing as Akuma only had a sliver of health, Cody (JinRong87), went on the attack to end it once and for all. What could have possible happened? Wake-up demon! Which kicked JinRong87 out of the tournament and allowed ShinAkuma to continue his way onto the Grand Finals where he would fight Killa Sasa.

Killa Sasa, who mains Cammy, is one of our top fighters in the Chip Damage community, placing within top 3 at almost every event.

ShinAkuma knew Killa Sasa wasn’t to be taken lightly, but he fought valiantly as Killa Sasa wasted no time taking the offensive, giving Akuma no room to breath or think about what was coming at him next, yet ShinAkuma still prevailed and made it out of the losers bracket and reset the match-up to best 3 of 5. Killa Sasa knew he had to keep the pressure on, and it was working, milking the leads, making clockwork of Akuma, ShinAkuma was sent home packing as Killa Sasa reigns as the new undisputed champ for a new era of Street Fighter!
