That was almost as fun to watch as BJ beating him.

I always thought of it as the dance of feinting and appearing at a vulnerable range, whilst working for your own hit.

I think they were specifically saying that Smug fishes counter hits, as opposed to playing a poke/punish poke game, per se.

Alioune acting like a straight fool. ROFL He got pretty owned by the T.O. Credit to R Kappa for bringing this to peoples attention.

Honestly, I found nothing impressive about his play during hype spotting. He looked average at best. Seems like the EU K-Brad. Once the Vortex was gone nothing but struggles.

John Choi is offering to send Kazunoko to SCR or any other Premier event because of what happened.
http://shoryuken.com/2015/04/06/joh...offers-kazunoko-trip-to-socal-regionals-2015/
One player specifically affected by this mistake was Kazunoko, as the result of his match was changed. As an apology, I would like to personally offer him a paid trip to SCR or another US premier event. I know this does not rectify the mistake, but it would give him the opportunity he deserves at another premier event.

Smug: "I like having fun. I like playing Japanese players in long sets I have fun."

Smug: "Ima stick to my guns learn the match" - regarding him getting bopped by Gamerbee.

Smug: "I want to learn about this game"

<3 He got the right attitude.

Smug explaining that he does not want to use a secondary character. He wants to win with his main, or else lose with his main & learn. I dig it.

Good head on his shoulders. He ain't got the killer instinct, not sure how much further he can go. I like his mentality of not counterpicking strictly to win but n I don't think there's anything dishonorable on leveling the playing field to a more winnable scenario. Good to not be too serious and focus on school so as not to become an older bitter player like sanford. He ain't gonna be on someone's level like infiltration who plays other characters to maximize his odds at winning.

I bet Kazunoko is asking Momochi about which premier tournament he doesn't plan to attend. What kind of sucks for guys like Kazunoko who are traveling so far and doesn't have a sponsor is that they will probably still have to deal with the top sponsored players even if they're already qualified. If he went to SCR alone and only had to deal with Americans he has a pretty good chance of winning. But if you throw in Mago, Tokido, Daigo, Momochi, Infiltration, Xian, with all the top American players then it's going to be a pain to get to GF like it how it was at Final Round and NCR.

Anyways that's very classy of Choi. I wonder if Kazunoko will take him up on that offer. Maybe he might be too modest, who knows.

I am very glad John Choi made this statement, especially with the internationals in attendance at the tournament. In Japan, when leaders or company execs fuck up they bow deeply and apologize profusely to shareholders/customers etc. Screw ups happen, what matters is owning up to them and trying to make amends. Big props to Choi.

Momochi plans to attend all the NA Premier Events (remaining SCR, CEO, EVO and Canada Cup).

I think he would probably take up the offer for SCR.

SCR probably has the smallest entries due to the uncertain venue, date change and hotel situation. So even if Momochi is there its likely be the easiest tournament to enter.

Good on Choiboy. Kazunoko will have his chance again.

Everytime I see a Hakan, "This character is really good. More people should play him."

*never picks him up*

That is so cool of Choi. It really sucked that Kazunoko of all people, an unsponsored international player, was the one who got stung by the runbacks. That is a very solid make-good.
