Tonight, David “Atari” Bibona posted a trailer for the Super Street Fighter II Turbo event at Canada Cup 2016 taking place in Toronto, Ontario next month. While usually an overshadowed game nowadays, this is one tournament you would be remiss to sleep on this year at Canada Cup!
Already promised a $500 pot bonus should the event reach 50 entrants, there are a number of players making their way to the land of the maple leaf for the tournament. As evidenced by the trailer, already confirmed to attend are Southern California Super Turbo players Tania “MillerTime” Miller and Eugene “eltrouble” Lin. Also in attendance are Justin Wong of Evil Geniuses, Montreal great Lord Jimmy Bones, and Riz0ne.
However, to further add to the intensity of this tournament, three Japanese legends are making their way to Canada to take part. Already slated are Kusumondo–runner up of the first Tournament of Legends–Shougatsu, and Mattsun–winner of this year’s X-EST event in Japan. Moreover, with all hopes, and a little bit of pressure, there may be a chance of James Chen and UltraDavid for commentary.
With a month left to go, Super Turbo is in for a big revival in the West in Toronto. A multitude of players in multiple regions are training to bring up the level up play in this game, and it shows. At this point, even though the Japanese players are favored to win, it’s anyone’s game. Who will take it down? Will you try? Sign up to take part from October 28th through 30th on the Canada Cup website.
