I interviewed both Ludovic and RayRay after their Daigo wins. Videos are going up soon on FloKO.

Here's a little preview ;)

haha yes it would! i'll get y'all the link to the interview once it's up shortly. he's a really cool dude. was talking about how the pop off was about how much he had proven to himself.
Looking forward to it, I know Ray is a cool guy, always rooted for him in Marvel against Justin and the like. Just strange that he was able to best Daigo, nothing against him tbh, as I always root for the underdog in most cases, but Daigo was going through a rough patch recently and I wanted him to get back to his old ways.

Tbh, if Ray Ray beat infiltration, I would be extremely happy because Infil is just to ominous when he's on a tear. That guy is plain non-human with his nash.

Daigo Dick Riders (club)
Yeah, I'm a FGC monster as well, just poking a bit. It's just so strange because many better players than Ray Ray have yet to beat Daigo, but this is something he has under his belt now.

He hasn't been shy to popoff. Beating Justin in Marvel, making top 8 at evo.
Oh now that you've mentioned it, I've probably seen him popup once before beating Justin, didn't watch UMVC3 at Evo this year, but there's something special about this pop off, it's is just waiting to be giffed. I keep on watching it and laughing, it's that awesome....

He has definitely popped off before:

This one in particular was pretty savage.
Yes, that was savage, but it appears some words were spoken before that game, he's only a kid Ray Ray (or at least he looks like one)....


The pop-off today was awesome though, better camera angle, the hands slashing down for the morph change, that stutter step, that would be shirt tear. Ray Ray was definitely feeling himself, but he had no animosity towards Daigo.

Aw man I was hoping Orangeman would make it to ECT top 8. His Rashid was so fun to watch against dieminion and sanford. Just nonstop shenanigans.

why do tournaments keep having this losers semi > winners final > losers final order? it is a detriment to the player who lost in the winners final to play his next match straight away. look at chris t now. you can tell he still hasn't recovered from his previous match.

To keep the flow of the stream and what not. Unfortunately, it boils down to time limit.

I do wish they gave a minute or two to rest, but :(

my point is they should do winners final first and then do the losers matches (semi and final back to back)

Some tournaments do winners finals, losers semi, loser finals, grand finals.

But tournament do winners brackets before losers brackets in top 8 also. It a pacing thing to get though a tournament.
