What do you think would happen if you took eight of the best Super Street Fighter IV: AE 2012 players from around the world and had them battle it out for a chance at $25,000 US. Now what if you changed the format from a typical two out of three tournament format, to a first to seven series, yet gave the players the option to avoid battling against the opponents who may get in their way? Sounds like it could be pretty crazy right? Well, the fine folks at ESGN have put this model to work, resulting in some of the most intense Street Fighter matches ever recorded.

From the living room to the studio in the beautiful city of Berlin, Germany; featuring Mike Ross, Tokido, Infiltration, Xian, Alioune, Ryan Hart, Luffy and Filipino Champ, Street Fighters from five of the main capitals of the Fighting Game Community come together to compete for up to $25,000. In what is to be considered the greatest set of ‘money-matches’ ever filmed, commentators Gootecks and Tasteless join your staple host, Dan “Frodan” Chou, to show you all the high-level fights that your heart could desire on ESGN Fight Night: Street Fighter.
