Before Topanga league I was saying I was expecting Xiao Hai to win, even though he didn't take it all, what a performance from him overall, looking at these results. Who would have thought he'd lose to PR Balrog but beat Daigo haha.

What? Did Daigo announce his retirement? If that's the case it makes me really sad:/

It sucks that we will never know how Daigo will do in AE '12 in EVO this year. He has leveled up a lot throughout the year.

I think the two were at a distance where Daigo liked to throw fireballs. Bonchan took a risk by jumping thinking there would be a fireball. Daigo was patient and won the game.

I wasn't just talking about in that instance, I'm referring to the set in general. At that final moment I'd think that's the last thing he'd try considering how off his jump-in reads were the entire set. I get the matchup is hard if Ryu is patient, but I don't think Bon held his ground very well.

Hey guys I'm lookin to buy some recent SBO VF DVDs but the most recent I can find are from 08. Where's a good place to buy em? have others even been released?

Thankfully bypassing dvd region locks does not seem like rocket science.

Seems like SBO08 was the last VF DVD released. So I ordered that from Amazon.jp for about $40 shipped.

Might try to get SBO06 for VF4FT.

Well Ultra comes out in Japan in less than a week, and it's not like he comes over here for anything but EVO.

Yeah, pretty much this. You probably won't see him play AE 2012 anymore once Ultra hits. The only US tourney he might attend is CEO because it has Ultra. But if that's not the case then don't plan on seeing him till EVO.

I'm really happy to see him win. I think this is his first time winning Topanga. But I'm still a little bitter he lost to Cammy, I really wanted to see him overcome that match up but it can't be helped. Xiaohai actually went 5-0 with Cammy and 0-2 with Evil Ryu. You could argue that he should have won this tournament if he had stuck with Cammy the whole way. Maybe going at least 6-1 and winning the tie breaker vs Daigo. But if he feels any regret, it's on him. He did much better this time compared to how he did at Topanga Asia.

Great tournament overall though with plenty of hype matches. That was a great way to end AE 2012 in Japan.
