Sorry I haven't been posting much, but there are like absolutely NO wireless hotspots here. I thought there would be a lot more, so my only options to connect to the internet is to either go to a random internet caffe or starbucks/McD's.
As for the 5v5, it was alright.....wayyyyy too crowded, there was barely any room to move, let alone breathe. Speaking of breathing, it gets harder when everyone in there is smoking. Besides that, it was hell hype, Nekojita is amazing. He reverse OCV'd the Taiwanese team, beating Hsien Chang as well.
I played Nekojita a couple matches, I think he ended up beating me 4-2. The dude is sick, his matchup knowledge is incredible, his Yomi is also beyond godlike. The way he plays against Yun/Yang is also inspiring...he armor cancels every dive kick and uses close hp to CH normals off a bad dive kick perfectly. He still gets blown up a lot though, which just shows how terrible those matches are.
Also, to people saying Yang isn't that good...please.. He is the cheapest motherfucker in the game, hands down. I played against Nemo/AQUA some sets, and the shit they were doing was just plain unfair. They know unblockables on most of the cast, which are easily set up with a throw in the corner or a U2. Its GG once they get the unblockable though, since it takes off around 40% and leaves you in a very fucked up 50/50. Yang's mixup is 10x scarier than Yun's, since Yun's is pretty simple, either he does something, or not. But not Yang... he has at least 4 options all the time, and they all lead to scary damage and back to another mixup.
I have realized how far behind America is on like 80% of the cast. There are some characters that we can compare in skill (like Rufus, Honda, Sim, Abel, Bison, Boxer...etc), but there are others where we are no where near the level they are playing them, mainly Blanka, Gen, the Trinity, Sakura, Makoto, Sagat, Akuma, Adon, CHUN LI!! (Y24 just exposed every single American Chun...free). Actually, they are far ahead in pretty much most of the cast, we hella need to catch up, especially our Blanka/Trinity's.
I leave on the 25th, so I'm gonna be grinding it out lvl'ing up this whole time, I'll do a long-ass post when I get back.
He just had to hit him with his st. fierce punch or something and he did 2 empty air uppercut+ a command grab from way too far. It was the dumbest mistake I have seen from a top player this year imo since he eventually lost the round and set. But then, this is what I expected from these 2 at EVO to begin with. Daigo would win simply because he's the best player, but Poongko would take a round/set here and there because of those setups and that execution.
