Is kara a dude?
Anybody who reps Planet Zero kind of comes across as a shady character.Mihe wasn't even close to trolling or being a dick.
I gotta say, people devaluing Kusoru's play is pretty damn pathetic in this thread.
Dude didn't "just" win cause he trolled his way to the top with an assist everyone knew was good since day -30. He had incredible defense, blocked everything that was thrown at him when someone did get in, punished players' super meat boy-like "if it doesn't work, do it again" tactics, knew his matchups far better than his opponents, and the list goes on. Let's not forget the amount of consistently good players he destroyed along the way.
Watch those matche again, I know people like to arbitrarily label Marvel as an inconsistent judge of skill, but a dude from Japan just came in and showed unarguable consistency. Fundamentals won him Final Round, not an assist. And it's disappointing to hear that some IRL hostility towards the dude has made him fearful to return for more competition. Its okay to have rivalries, but when the dude clearly doesn't want to get involved in the money match, etc. atmosphere, give him a break. Dude must've been under tons of pressure and it's sad to see people want to sour what he earned so bad. He won, period. No way to detract from fact, he is currently the best.After MarlinPie.

Not anymore.Is kara a dude?
Kusoru was the best for a single weekend.
Winning one major and then disappearing doesn't negate that win but it certainly lessens it. Daigo and Justin are thought of as the best in their countries because they have sustained success.
Disappearing? Lessening??
It only has been a few days since Final Round, his first US UMVC3 tournament, and you're already downplaying his skill because he only won one US tournament? The most recent one?

i hope kusuro comes back to US and have fun at evo
I didn't downplay his skill. I did say that if he disappears (which he has already said he is doing) the meaning of his final round win will be lessened because he has not shown an ability to have sustained success.
curious any certain reason why you say this? haha, was actually going to check out planet zero earlier today.
To be specific: PZ was an SBO qualifying spot for Guilty Gear a few years back. One of the teams that entered the qualifier consisted of 3 players who were sponsored by PZ itself. This team got 2nd place. The PZ owner decided to replace one of the members of the winning team with one of his PZ guys, much to everyone else's disapproval. SBO issued a letter disapproving of this as well but did not enforce any actions and continued to give PZ qualifying spots in the future. There's been some bad blood ever since.curious any certain reason why you say this? haha, was actually going to check out planet zero earlier today.

Can anyone explain what "Kappa" is to me? I keep hearing that in streams and chats, I feel so lost q_q

I feel like I kind of have to backpedal off of my previous post though, as it's not really fair to judge someone by the company he keeps.
It's what you need to type into the stream chat to get this emoticon:Can anyone explain what "Kappa" is to me? I keep hearing that in streams and chats, I feel so lost q_q

The FGC should be fucking ashamed right now.
This explains everything.http://romancancel.blogspot.com/2012/03/kusoru-wins-umvc3-at-final-round-xv.html
Article that may explain why he plays the game in the first place.
Those last two lines are pretty powerful.
Also, cute edit there.

"Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is a terrible game."
Haha, I love it.
I really hope Kusoro reconsiders and comes back. It's much more refreshing seeing some characters besides wesker, wolverine or zero win something for once.
I really can't judge one way or the other about what happened to him. Was he just upset that people wanted to MM the champion instead of congratulating him, or were there couple of people who were all "in yo face" approaching and trying to pressure him to MM beyond the comfort point, maybe a little of column A and a little of column B ?
All in all, I hope he goes back to Japan, maybe talk with some of the veterans out there so he wouldn't be as shocked the next time he comes back to the states.
Hasn't "paid his dues"?
The fuck is that supposed to mean?
Gamerbee also didn't spend an entire tournament showboating and close it off by mocking the entire scene on Twitter.Read up on your history son. This shit been going on for 20 odd years man. The only time a player come out of nowhere and got majority of love on their first win was Gamerbee, but then again we are used to getting beat by international competition in SF4 so that's like comparing apples and oranges.
It's completely my belief that Kusoru is still just trolling and the stream monsters are taking everything twice as seriously as they should be, as usual.

I actually enjoyed Kusoru's antics, though. I think it's really cool to see the international players chant back at the crowd when they start their "USA!" stuff instead of just being stoic about it. It really looked like they were into it, and that's a great thing to see.

I'm pretty sure that guy didn't pay to have him come to America.The guy who paid for him to come over had this to say about the situation.

He said he's gonna try his hardest to get Kusoru and some others out to evo.
