It’s one thing to talk shit, it’s another to talk shit…AND BACK IT UP!
Lets see…
-Took 1st in Marvel (finally), without his main team—against Justin—in two sets. GS
-5v5-first glimpse of his cammy and owned cole, buktooth, and djb13
-Made top 8 in SF4 when NO ONE expected dude to get that far.
-Then of course…Dan vs Sanford.:wasted: Dan got gaped.
He wanted recognition in sf4 and proved why he deserved it.
taking out a japanese player with a console exclusive, thats just downright DIRTY! seeing as i’m not a marvel head, i didn’t really know much about kelly, but he quickly became one of my favorites last night
He shocked the hell out of me because he was close to not even going to evo on that EC drama. I also didn’t think he was up to par because of his performance at ECT.
And, although Sanford wasn’t in the limelight as much as other top players, a lot of people, especially here on the EC, were not THAT surprised that he made it to top 8 of SFIV. He’s got the hunger, and he’s been training hxc.
Congrats to Sanford for reppin EC and the US well!
I usually don’t root for players. I just like watching enjoyable matches. Sanford’s gameplay was mad enjoyable to watch. He was one of many big stories at this Evo. It was hard not to root for him. Good shit all around.
Sanford had a mean Cammy. He said he would of pulled out a secret character if he had gotten to Daigo. People were saying it was going to be Seth, another console exclusive.
Good shit Kells !!! On the East Coast we’ve known what it was for a while!!! Props on getting up there on the Grand stage and earning world wide respect!!! Next time you come to Philly it’s Brazil on me!!!
