How old are top players?

Isn’t Jeff Schaefer pushing 40?

I know the oldest local player is like 35.

Schaefer is 5 years older than Valle. In Gootecks podcast with Alex Valle, Alex Valle talks about one of his first tournaments and mentioned everyones age at the time. Alex Valle says he was 16, Watson was 18, and Schaefer was 21. This would make Shaefer close mid 30s.

Why oh why did you steal my sig?:confused:

It even has my username…:wasted:

Great so by the time I’m awesome I’m going to be too old.

Interesting to know nonetheless.

Jesus, talk about necro.

I prefer to take this post as a command.

I fully intend to wait for Jesus to tell me some new messiah-level strats for my Necro.

Slamdance, indeed, Son of God.

motherfucker im only 36

Damn I feel young then at 26 (27 in June) lol.

:rofl: :rofl:

I can think of 10 people off the top of my head that are over 35 that still play regularly…I’m 33 and I was the second youngest person in my area when SF2 was played at every place imaginable.

Just talking ages of people playing now…
Bill Gould has to be pushing 40 by now, I know Omni and Cole are older than me by a year or so…Maxstah and Omar in VA have to be around my age or older…

If you notice, the older players don’t jump up and play the new games competitively all the time with the exception of Cole who seemingly plays everything =P

“Top” players in ST…the youngest for ST is probably Afro Legends/DSP/Justin/NKI I don’t think any of those guys are older than 25…

Cole I think is 34, Choi 32, Valle 30, Jason Nelson 32, Wolfes 32-33, Jeff Schaefer has not played competively in years…but he has to be around 35-36…Mike Watson is only 31-32…

Dayum!!
Fo’ Shizzle?!
:looney::looney:

holy fuck
some of you need to go home and be a family man

SAAAANNNNFFOOOORRRRRDDDDD!!!

Really? Damn you look good for your age. I wouldn’t have guessed past 30, myself.

anyone of the og’s wanna enlighten us about reaction times and instances of certain players maintaining their edge, getting faster or falling off completely?

this thread has enough og’s paying attention, teach us something.
