I didn’t post for awhile cause I was too salty (and quite sad too. Almost on the verge of depression). They messed up something with my passport, it was ready on december 30th yet was put in some bureau limbo and got delivered way too late. So I missed the coop cup. I’m in Japan now at least.
I publicly apologize to my teammates for letting them down and having to play with a team of four.
keeping my fingers crossed in hopes of a Pre-coop vid :#
Glad you made it to Japan fugo! Have a good trip man.
I had big plans to get some cool footage at Coop Cup but ended up just drinking, smoking and catching up with friends new and old. Very sad some have left already and soon so will I!

I did end up recording a tour of Koenji Cube Game Center, a new Mikado tour 2015 edition, a ft3 JP(GO) v Oshamanbo(GO), a ft5 Ryan(CH) v Oshamanbo(GO), and then just a few general short clips hanging out with gaijin players. I think you guys will enjoy them so stay tuned!
Okay so the official videos were released. This is about 22 hours of Third Strike. I THINK the order is correct. I’ll change it once I watch and find any holes in it.

Posting about coop finally because enough time has passed.
Pre coop: in my mind this was the main event for me. I got so lucky to have yakkun SHO and shintaro invite me to team with them. I was very nervous this day because of that. it was a bummer not getting any wins that day but watching yakkun was so inspiring. Also SHO vs one of the Chun teams was sick. Shintaro vs two of the Makoto’s was amazing as well. Good experience overall but if I continue yun I need to learn a lot more shit.
Coop: great team cause hiyama, heboryu, hara and the other chun dude were all nice guys. Actually ocved a team that day so felt better but when it came down to it, got ocved by aiku and lost in the 1v1 play off to some chun (was nervous for that solo match)
I don’t remember what happened during the vs chun match but vs aiku I attempted the red parry against ex mgb cause I landed it every single time vs kuroda (as you guys will see soon) not a wise choice but I was confident at that moment. Blew it
Overall great experience and I will go again next year
Kuroda dud!
just like in 2014
