Damn I missed this Justin Wong talk.

True story:

Justin Wong goes around wearing a 15 numbered jersey sometimes.

One Mike "Miek Russ" Ross asked him "hey Justin why do you have the 15 on there?"

And Justin replies in the most nonchalant manner "oh that was how old I was when I first EVO"

Mike Ross "......"

So, the question I made earlier...has Alex gotten anything close to a good resulta sinxe coming out? Is anybody notable playig him at tourneys?

I guess the same questions go for Guile, but I doubt there is anything with him since he has been out for so little time...

lpn played alex in top 8 at a recent major (northwest major i think?)
 
I have a strange FGC question I wonder if anyone in here can help me with.

Is there any top flight player in any game who is actually diagnosed as autistic (as opposed to folks who are assumed to be)?

I've been thinking and, despite stereotypes and certain people using the word a bunch, I actually cannot think of anyone. There's a lot of people who've been considered top flight over the years, and the condition is not uncommon in men (1/40 men have it).

I'm mostly curious for personal reasons. Like I said, it's a strange question.

Not sure if he counts, as he's not a competition player, but Desk is.

As you know, the spectrum runs really wide, and there are definitely more than a few players out there who show some of the characteristics.

JWong took Alex/Guile to grand finals in Canada last weekend.

Justin probably count his Battle By the Bay 2001 win as his first EVO win, Battle By the Bay didn't become EVO until 2002 and he was 16 by then.

Also, lots of FGC characters in this video, some are barely recognizable, some with weird ass "strategies" lol.

Kid Justin at 0:45s.
 
SonicFox. He won Injustice when he was what...16? 15? And then the year after he won in Injustice, he won in MKX.

SonicFox pretty much dominates, or is at least amongst the best, in pretty much every game he plays.

Injustice
Mortal Kombat
Skullgirls
UNIEL

I know I'm missing other games here.

Nice, so we're seeing a new premier event champ! :D
 
ToRyuKen in Toronto and Salty Lima in Peru are both this weekend. If you are an American, you should definitely go for the easier points.

They're also probably cheaper to travel to if you're in the US. Props to Gootecks for taking it upon himself to defend the US honor at Stunfest.

I'm heading to Toryuken, but its more an excuse to wear my phil kessel Pens jersey in Toronto than anything else.

Much more looking forward to combo breaker next weekend

really cool to see Goo put in work like that
dat world warrior status
 
i admire players like sonicfox and Ryan Hart for being able to perform exceptionally in a variety of games
i used to want to be like that, but i don't have the time to be as good as i want to be in multiple games honestly. id probably play namco if I dropped vf, truly wish SC scene were stronger
