I hope he changes his mind by EVO. He will have 4 months to think about it. He could troll america on the biggest stage!

Article that may explain why he plays the game in the first place.
Those last two lines are pretty powerful.
Also, cute edit there.
That Twitter feed makes it sound like the dude was already ultra scared to be out of Japan to begin with.
I just can't imagine people being exactly as he's describing.
Whatever it is, I hope he comes back for EVO. But even with this message out, things aren't going to change. He's going to have the biggest bullseye on his back if he ever returns. People just have to be more calm around him though should he ever return.
Some of these stories about the disorganization and preferential treatment to top players is really infuriating. I would have gone HAM if I were that guy that got DQ'ed from KOF.
I can forgive the disorganization because of the crush of people, but that story about Floe doing what he did is fucking ridiculous. That should have never been allowed.
Can anybody tell me who this was that FLoE gave money to?
Not sure where to post this, but this thread seems to be a continuation of general FGC talk. UltraDavid and James Chen have invited 4 women in the FGC to discuss sexism. Guests are Sherryjenix, Karaface, and 2 girls I don't know. Starts in 2.5 hours from this post http://www.twitch.tv/UltraChenTV

Kusoru won't be coming to USA again (read from bottom up if you're not familiar with Twitter)
Maybe he's taking the opportunity to grab the mic and volunteer himself as a spokesperson of the FGC.I thought UltraDavid was steering clear of that mess.

haha is he too scare to come over because people will break his tech and expose him as a one trick pony?
The FGC should be fucking ashamed right now.
Why? Because we are not nice to him over his first win?
Don't forget Daigo won multiple majors before everyone adore the shit out him. Now he's like a rock star in the states. This guy hasn't paid his dues so people don't respect him that doesn't mean people are going to start shanking him. It's not our fault he perceives our lack of respect for his victory as us wanting to hurt him.

Daigo was always revered due to the Daigo parry.

I'm pretty sure he isn't hiding that a good portion of the reason he won was based on gimmicks and unfamiliarity. It takes some talent to actually make that style work but it's not outright broken. After he beat Filipino Champ he was saying that Champ didn't know what to do at first but he was adapting. PR Balrog was getting there too in the finals. He just wants to do stupid, hype stuff like x-factor cancel into taking a drink with Frank right at the end of a match.
He just didn't get that Marvel is a thing in America I guess. Imagine if hundreds of people really wanted to money match you in a game of crazy eights. That would be weird.

Him and Mihe can go jump in a lake. Disrespectful as all hell.
But according to PR_Balrog, Mihe was being a dick to everybody all weekend.*giggles*

That make it two dicks then!
Why? Kusoru's a troll, trolled like hell, won the tourney, got a ton of heat for being a troll, and bailed out because he didn't like the response. Big deal.

How was Mihe being a dick? Just wondering.
2 dicks don't make a something, something.
I think there's a huge difference between being a troll and just having fun.
I'll truncate so I don't seem like a super ranter. This is also completely separate from their play, which was bananas.
Mihe reps Planet Zero, which automatically loses points to me due to the whole rigged SBO qualifier deal back in 2008. All the posing after he won every goddamn round was annoying as hell, and I don't recall him being particularly respectful to anyone at any point on stream.
Kusoru did a ton of the stupid pose after winning crap too, except he just had props. The whole mugging for the camera/begging for mercy after he paused really irritated me, and then this whole taking his ball and going home thing after he didn't like/understand the culture is just whatever. If you want to be a troll, get thicker skin or stop being one.
Super Junior Edit: Blind, I thought that at first, especially with Kusoru, but with his reaction to how people kept wanting to MM him, it just seemed like he can tell harmless jokes, but either didn't know the culture or just can't handle it. It doesn't compute to me. He trolls a ton in Guilty Gear too, it's not new hat.
and Mihe doing his pose next to a completely dejected ChrisG was chock full of assholery.
Again, don't mean to threadcrap on an awesome tourney thread, but if Kusoru never comes here again it won't be a very big deal to me.
When you're on the losing end, the line is very blurry.
I compare it to baseball. When guys hit home runs, they typically run around the bases stone-faced and stoic. Showing any kind of excitement over what you did is usually considered "showing up" the pitcher, who is already salty over giving up a bomb.
It's the same thing. The pitcher knows you're just excited you hit one. But he doesn't want to see it because you knocked it off him.

Justin Wong is one of the biggest instigators. The pdp stuff with Marn and PL was truly a sight to behold.Is this ironic? Because I thought Kusoru and Mihe's "trolling" was pretty light-hearted and harmless. It was goofy and done without malicious intent. Similar to Tokido's. It's a different type of humour though. The closest style of "trolling" from a US player is Juicebox doing his ultras choregraphy.
On the other hand, I think the usual pop off we see in the US FGC is much more disrespectful. Noel Brown standing up and shouting whatever at his opponents, PR Balrog dry humping Mihe or trashtalking Krone, Viscant telling PR Balrog he was lucky. That kind of stuff looks pretty serious and vindicative.
That's why I like players like Justing Wong, Combofiend, Ricky Ortiz, Marlinpie or Dieminion, get hype but don't get overly salty with your reactions.

Mihe wasn't even close to trolling or being a dick.
