Kuma.

I'm glad there is a tourney up at this time of the night. I've been packing up stuff for Japan since the day after the incident. Good to know they are doing this.

You know. Some of those people won't be able to even go near their homes for 200 years. Meaning never in their lifetime. So sad.

I haven't posted in this thread for awhile since my computer is out of commission for the present, and I haven't been playing online lately either for various reasons
mainly I've been re-reading George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series getting ready for Dance with Dragons this July
I've also started playing at meet ups with some local SF players. I feel like my game has leveled up a bit, I put up a good fight last week and got some nice comments on my Makoto play. One guy got mad at me because i don't play footsies :lol Shoutouts to the PSN side, Yun fighter 4 is gonna be hype!

I wonder if Air will be maining Evil Ryu in AE with all these videos hes posting and his recent blog, he seems to think Evil is better than regular Ryu in AE, and it would be nice to see someone with so much shoto expertise pick up Evil Ryu.
Click to expand...

Interesting read, but my opinion is no he won't main Evil Ryu. I think the only reason he's putting in the time he into ER is because he is another version of his old main, Ryu. He said he'll probably main Yang in AE and I don't see that changing according to his blog. Evil Ryu seems to be a one trick pony. Land that combo, and boom, 40% damage. Don't land it and you're stuck playing a zoning game like normal Ryu, except he lacks Ryu's links and has no way to combo into a untechable knockdown.

Unless people start discovering some good stuff, it seems like Capcom gimped him from the beginning. He has such low life and health and it doesn't seem justified at all considering his tool set which isn't as good as Akuma's or Seth's. Still I'll be spending a lot of time with him just because I've always liked the character and I love his over the top design in AE. But I don't think any top players will be dropping there mains to pick him up.

Later today is Console Warzone. Local tourney in NJ, SSFIV and MvC3 tournament, will be streamed by Team Sp00ky.

Next week is PowerUp 2011 in Cincinnati, the next major in the EVO Season, and the first MK major. Also streamed by Team Sp00ky.

So... Daigo's Yun...
I believe he could win CEO if he went to it, since a vast majority of people there won't have a lot of character experience (the switch to AE was really stupid IMO). But as far as EVO goes, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make top 8.

Daigo for the most part just tramples people with Yun.. No self restraint. A play style like that is dangerous and can fall victim to the randomness that we deliver out here.

yea, all those meaties he throws out are invitation for wakeup ultra. I know he ate one as soon as he hopped on the topanga stream.

With no warm up he went against those crazy skilled Makoto and Bison (who by themselves would give Evo a run for their money) and came up on top (while clearly exhibiting his download ability)? Yeah, I would be surprised if he didn't take Evo with ease.

Yun compliments his extremely aggressive style very well, felt like his 3rd Strike Ken days.

That Makoto was insane, really hope to see more of this player in the future.

I think Daigo is awesome but as we saw at Season Beatings, Norcal Regionals, etc, he's not completely invincible.

In the last year, he lost to Andre "TwistedJago" Lambert, Martin "Marneto" Pham, Filipino Champ and Ricky Ortiz.

That doesn't take into account whatever other top U.S. talent attending (J.Wong, Vangief, Valle, Sabin, Flash Metroid, Wolfkrone, Mike Ross, Sanford, Dieminion, etc).

Also if Europe comes, ie Luffy, Starnab, Evans, VRyu, Ryan Hart, Aulione, etc.

Gamerbee from Taiwan.

Infiltration and Poongko from Korea.

Sakonoko, Tokido, Mago, etc from Japan. It's not a guaranteed win. Like DBJ said, he'll probably score top 8. And he might even three peat (which would be ridiculous), but competition is so great right now.

in the last year he's played a game in which the entirity of japan/usa got at the same time(super)...now it's AE, which is gonna be released around 2 months before evo...you really expect people without access to the game to catch up to him that fast? granted, when i said he'd win evo free i disregarded other japanese players...basically, i think JAPAN will win evo free.


yes, some of those US players have access to AE but i don't think anyone's putting in the time that daigo is(with apparently the best char in the game, to boot? pshhhhhh)...

If you dont think japan is taking evo you are crazy. everyone got AE well after japan had it and capcom of japan is notorious for letting expert level players play before release so you know thats even more experience over others. dudes were releasing full strategy changes for the cast days before release. evo this year will feature very few upsets in AE

@ Akuma, I never said the Japanese wouldn't win Evo. I said that Daigo winning wasn't a lock.

Other communities have the game (now obviously not the same scale of Japanese arcade scene). But I think we're all in agreement regarding the expectation that the Japanese players will win the AE tournament, especially with the community getting new titles like AH3, MK9 and MVC3, which might mean people aren't completely focused on one title, whereas the Japanese players attending mainly play SF/Capcom arcade fighters.

And Poongko.. :( If I was the guy, I'd come to Evo to avenge the Gamestop Tournament embarrassment.

But let's be real, he's got great execution, flashy combos, it's just his fundamentals that are lacking.
