Air better win this. Air better win everything for Canada. Humanbomb already lost for Canada this weekend, can't have it happen again.

US purposely made he and kojikog's pools be right next to each other so they could take each other out in top 16

Foreigners about to knock each other out

idk why air switched to Ryu... I guess because Ryu has better anti-airs? But Kog just limited his own air options because of that since he didn't have to worry about poison's fireballs...

air should of stuck with Poison and just learn the match-up.

He probably switched to Ryu due to a lack of practice in the Hawk matchup with Poison. He probably wasn't sure what moves from her are best in what situation, while he was playing Ryu for years and probably just felt safer in that situation with a character he knows better, even if it's not the best option he has.

LPN playing Ken?.... that's cute.

I remember once talking with someone about players who can play every character, and how that's the least scary thing in the world. Hard to be afraid of someone with no main and just tons of options.

he's been like that since Cammy was touched by the hand of god.

spoiler alert: Cammy is still a good character, you just "can't play her like you use to"

but I agree, spreading yourself thin like that is self-destructive.

How is the international player presence for SF4? Did many show up? Seemed a lot of them were at the Korean tournament.

only two i know that are there are Kog and Dogura

LPN's biggest issue is that he spends more time learning the basics of a counterpick than to learn the nuances of any one character. He's scary early on, but against true character specialists his counterpicks tend to fall flat
 
Man, these team Khaos streamers are real shameful. Implementing sub chat randomly during commercials, then when no one posts they beg for subscribers, and then goes on threaten sub only chat when marvel streams later. Come on dudes, scheduling issues, streaming issues, cutting out games from the stream because they themselves messed up the schedule, and still begging for subs, smh.
