Stream monsters so salty.
Post it in the FGW thread.
Kind of true though. He's a great player but has no nerves at all. Same with Smug. The winners finals comeback was free and the grand finals wasn't even worth watching. With how Yun is and how good Rog was baiting charges and the reads he was getting, it would have been a far better match up. Even Dieminion, best patience level ever from that man.

Yun's cross up dive kick is insanely hard to block because Yun can hit you on the same side if he doesn't use a dive kick so you it's 50/50 on which side he is going on land on. It's literally pick a side and hope for the best.

EVO is gonna be insane
Does roll have too much recovery to use?
too bad JUSTIN WONG gave up on this game years ago
murica's only chance is some good ol' fashioned WONG FACTOR
Are you serious?
Bruh, did you not see smug eliminate momochi and tokido yesterday, he didn't even do that bad against kaz. He has nerves of steel.

I think a reason why America never travels to asian qualifiers is simple.
Asia's playerbase is stronger. Can you imagine the Americans having to fight people that are just a tad under mago/momochi/pepeday/daigo/nishikin's level all the way to top 8?
Likewise in America there is a CLEAR skill gap between solid player and top player.
Its just a higher risk going to Asia for qualifiers

It's not just this, Kazunoko was threatening with
1) 50/50 dive kicks
2) delayed dive kick to blow up crouch tech
3) command throw
4) regular throw
5) meaty normals with OS
Gustavo was looking for all these things to try and defend against. Maybe he committed to some of them and it was too late to react to a cross up dive kick. He doesn't have a DP to scare Kazunoko and that's part of the reason why this is a bad match up for Abel. When I play Yun I show no respect for Abel players on wake up or in general. Like seriously, what are they going to do beside the usual desperation EX COD. They're too scared to command throw or EX roll on wake up.

Art should be streaming salty suite stuff for SF4.
They played SFV on Capcom channel yesterday, E3 build.
Smug has the opposite problem. Like he normally doesn't stop pressing buttons with the expectation that eventually one will hit and make up for the damage taken.

And you get that extra cr.mp with Yun against Abel because of his fat hitbox...

Damn, Mike Ross really needs to up his game on his interview. What do you expect Kaz to say lol?
Money is a huge limiting factor as well. The skill gap would explain Japanese tournaments, but a player like Rog, Ricki, Smug, etc could do very well at most European majors, but can't afford to go either due to job/school schedule or lack of funding/travel budget.
Edit: the Us has a lot of players just under the highest level who would benefit from traveling and can beat the best players. Marq Teddy, XSK Samurai, Chris T and Filipinoman pop into my mind immediately.
I'm speaking towards the game. I don't think Fchamp or LTG are bad human beings, but their attitude it's clear (even if it's just act).
Will see if i'm right or wrong. If he keeps placing high obviously.
SALTY SUITE WILL BE STREAMED HERE

I'm not even sure this was the tournament Kazunoko picked for the free trip, lol.

Smug isn't sponsored and has school
Ricki and Rog are sponsored by a prestigious esports team.
They choose not to go there (imo) because the risk/reward ratio isn't worth it.

Has Dieminion's entrance vs Bonchan been uploaded to YT yet? I NEED to see that again.

I would to see the top us players go to an open entry japan tournament and see how it pans out.
Ricki and Rog also work and from what I've heard is that while they're sponsored their travel budget isn't unlimited so an expensive trip to Europe or Asia could instead be used to get to a couple of U.S, Canadian or Mexican majors.
Where do players like Kazunoko and Bonchan get travel funds?
There was the Topanga Charity Cup two years ago.

But Kaz and Bonchan aren't sponsored right? They make it out to a lot of events..
That is also true.

kazunoko is pretty much funded through rkappa
And the winner was a team comprised of players you basically never see outside of Japan.
