« Daigo Umehara Unable to Compete in 3rd Strike Tournament at SBO2012 Due to Schedule Conflicts »

Those of you hoping to see Daigo pull off a miraculous comeback in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike at Super Battle Opera will be disappointed as he is unable to compete this year. The Beast Note Blog is reporting that he was originally teamed up with Haitani and Momochi but they will have to survive as a two man team this year due to a schedule conflict.

This conflict of dates were discovered after the Tougeki committee released this years schedule but Daigo had already decided to team up with Haitani and Momochi by then.

SBO2012 takes place August 4-5th this year with 3rd Strike being on the second day.
