Group of death at 8pm eastern/5pm pacific.  

Nice little thread about New Generation from Scotia.
 
 

This is a fucking gauntlet.  I'm rooting for whoever takes LCQ to win Capcom Cup.  Even if it's Punk 😂

Secretly tend to agree, but just want my compatriot Problem-X to win, and saw the opportunity to make a crap joke, and grabbed - even seized - it

No way to sugar coat this, but I want a Blanka player to win a tournament 

Wow what a set between Kakeru and Tokido 😮

The LCQ has been the most talent rich tournament outside of EVO. I can't see Capcom Cup itself being this good.

Jesus punk just folded in the finals set. What the hell happened after he played so convincingly well against Tokido? 

Problem X completely reversed his fortune in the runback with Punk.

I know some people don't like Punk for reasons about his personality and shit, but dude definitely belongs in Capcom Cup based on his skill.
 
His reactions are just unreal.

Man....Punk just cooked Problem X

Blanka is just a lot of fun to watch to me.  I find him annoying as hell to play against because he's basically pure shenanigans and something about his combo animations look a bit clunky, but I will still admit he is fun to watch.  I think he's fun to watch because he's just so different to watch than the other characters.

Yeah that pool was boring as shit and dumb to watch.

Apologies if this has already been discussed before, I've been gone from here for a while so I don't want to really scour through 100+ pages to see if this was already mentioned lol.
 
It's definitely Bosch and they're definitely teasing his survival/return;

The person with the cap running with the other Buckler recruits has the same hair and scar across the eye that Nakayama recently posted for Bosch (which you posted in the reply I quoted). I'm not sure if Bosch had this scar before being blown up at the end of World Tour because you can kinda see something similar to it under his hair in the other artwork Nakayama posted;
 

 
Also to add a bit more fuel to the fire, Luke's birthday artwork has someone wearing the same hat as the NPC/Bosch. It's coincidentally just obscured enough to not see who it is for sure, but it's pretty obvious it's Bosch (thanks @Lord_Vegafor pointing this out on Twitter, I never noticed this until I saw you point it out);
 

 
At the risk of being completely wrong in the future, I'm calling it now; Bosch IS alive and will be playable in the future, maybe as soon as Season 2. There's way too many deliberate nods here to chalk it up as just asset reuse or some random NPC we're not meant to notice.

Posting a clip from our Monkey Man, his slow motion work helps. Ed's fireball effects (the spiral, the blue) have more than a whiff of Rose's fireballs, imo (timestamped)
 
 

Group F... Good God
