I actually liked Poongko’s Seth. I thought he played him so well. I wanna learn how to play Seth like that too.
Itabashi’s Zangeif is sick and I totally love it.
J. Wong’s Balrog’s great!! and also his Rufus.

My opinion, slash separates Japanese/American respectively.
Ryu : [media=youtube]xWNmXR__orA[/media] never got his name. I think it was in kanji. Could it be kanbara? The video is fairly old. / Chris Hu
Ken : Emillio / Dr. Chaos
Akuma : Momochi/Issei
Bison : Kuma / Jago (Andre)
Honda : Akimo / SkyeT
El Fuerte : vooh Tetsu san / SkiSonic
Rufus : Naiki / Justin Wong
Sagat : RF / Eric Kim
Dhalsim : Arturo hands down, looks like Iyo is inactive too…ROOOO
Chun-Li : Nuki
C. Viper : Gasshuku (fun to watch), Uryo for coming out with the W more consistently, though.
The rest I can’t give an American player for, too close to tall/don’t know.
Zangief : CANTONA. I don’t think Itabashi plays too smart, personally. Rumor is that they are brothers, too.
Blanka : Mizoteru
Balrog : Maeda Taison / (too close to call!)
Guile : Yoshiwo
Abel : Shiro
