Long-time Street Fighter commentator and personality James Chen was keen to point out that history had repeated itself with yet another American Dhalsim player falling short of reaching Capcom Cup.

Last year, a SoCal Dhalsim player (Dankadillas) barely didn’t win the LCQ and finished 2nd to ZJZ. History repeats itself this year with Jesse finishing right behind Moke.Congrats to Moke for qualifying and massive props to Commander Jesse for an amazing LCQ run!

Sadly, the LCQ was not streamed by Capcom due to venue issues. Popular Street Fighter producer, Yoshinori Ono took responsibility for the stream issue and apologized to the fans.
