But i tell you that many people did pick gouken because of Desora. Or lets say, they didnt stop playing Gouken because they saw what gouken is capable of. You have to remember that at the very beginning of SF 4 nobody really knew how to use gouken exactly. While Desora showed us how to use him in which way. He revealed many things.
Actually he isnt the best Gouken, but still he has much respect from my side and iam really thankful that he played Gouken in SF 4 and is still getting on him. I dunno at which skill level and which character i would stay today if i hadnt found Desoras Gouken. He helped me alot.
I had over 3600 ranked wins w him in vanilla,before july. In super there is no one who is unbeatable…what did he pioneer?? Cause I don’t see it…
i was replying to RuLeZ comment about him being the 1st Gouken, or a role model to other Gouken players. you misunderstood what i said, basically i was saying that just because someone did it first doesn’t mean someone else wouldn’t have tried
i’m not dissing the dude, like i said he’s a solid player, but he just doesn’t seem to be keeping up with his Gouken stuff
Sure you are right zuranthus, that it wouldnt matter if there wouldnt be a desora.
But one thing would change. I think without Desora the Gouken community would be much smaller or lets say weaker, than now.
Sure there will be still a Bullcat, but remember when we got the really first footage from him. Ya at the beginning of SSF 4 and not at Vanilla.
So without Desora, the Gouken Community would build up with the beginning of SSF 4, since there is a Bullcat. But this would be a late start.
With the beginning of SSF 4, there would be more people who wouldnt know anything about Gouken than they actually did. There would be more Gouken mainers who doesnt really know how to use him, since they didnt see any good gouken out there in vanilla before.
Maybe with this, you will understand why i like Desora. It is not because of his skill at the moment.
What i like about Desora is his persistence on Gouken. His love towards Gouken, he can easily be like other Japanese players maining the higher tier characters, but he sticks to his gun…
After playing SF4 series for so long, he sure knows Gouken’s strength and more importantly his weakness, but he didnt jump boat.
Unlike Mago ditch Sagat in SSF4…

I agree, especially since he’s really good with Akuma and Sagat as well, but he chooses to persevere with gouken. I don’t know if this is just a natural stubbornness on his part or a more casual approach. I don’t know if he attends tourneys really, I think he attended wgc.
he is not on many tourneys. I think it is more fun than a competitive play for him.
Speaking about tourney, Desora is now participating the WGC i think, according to his Facebook update…
Btw, another vid:

he attended WGC, but that was months ago, like March I think. There isn’t another one happening is there?
edit: the thing on his facebook was just him being tagged in a wgc album.

This where he does the Kongo on second round is absolutely ridiculous. How can he possibly have such read?
he’s blowing up crouch tech.
kongo is awesome for that.
