Is America done in SF5?

[Shumabot]

Just give sonic fox like 3 months and America will be fine. He just needs summer vacation so he can actually put in time to practice.

Time for the robots to take over and win it all.

idk, the JP are breaking down the FANG matchup piece by piece. A lot of SF’s pressure game didn’t work because they knew how to deal with the st.hk pressure game. I think he’ll hit a giant JP brickwall until FANG gets buffed.

He’s well known for having a large staple of characters. I assume he’ll branch out to solve matchups pretty soon. I wasn’t kidding about the summer thing. He’s in highschool, being out of school is big for his practice regime.

he deffenetly should not stick to fang.
as you could see, tokido knew the matchup and all the gimmicky stuff didnt worked on him like it did on others.

Huh. Just there are some parts of SRK you never been to. Troll thread is not trolling at all.

What about those japanese players that let him into top 8? Hell top 9-16 is all US other than Kazunoko. US did very well this tournament.

There were 900+ US players at this tournament…and maybe 10-15 international players (Japan, Korea, China, Singapore). While some of them did lose to US players, which is expected at some point, some of them also only lost to each other. Kazunoko in the tournament lost to Tokido twice. Bonchan lost to Mago and Fuudo (though I admit Bonchan’s Ryu isn’t on the level of Tokido’s).

Anyway I also don’t blame SonicFox for anything…in fact he rose to the occasion.

Yep even James Chen mentioned the whole “America has always gotten the game later” bs.

Let’s see how America bounces back at NCR. I still have faith in the EG boys.

[Necrotrophic]

Its funny that Emil posted this. But he has a point. Americans typically don’t value analytical people and disregard it as theory fighter until an international puts it to use.

I know so many people who would rather play casuals than study a matchup. Studying has more value once you reach a certain point but these people never learn.

I think the top US players are able to be as good as the Japanese or other Asian countries, but are held back by the fact that the rest of us are free.

Thanks to this thread I am listening to the AMERICA FUCK YEAH song =P

Does that mean SonicFox is part Japanese?

[Bovinity]

I’m sorry, America. I’m sorry for being so awful.

I’ll train harder and come back even more awful, I promise!

Apparently Tokido told SonicFox they had run a Topanga just on beating FANG. That’s 3-4 top players sharing tech and experimenting with a single match-up. No wonder Tokido ran through SonicFox free whereas everybody else who faced him struggled. Do US players have the discipline to get together like that and work over a single problem for many hours? I don’t get a feeling they do.

we got lives over here aint got time to no-life a fkn video game brah just lmao

Discipline? Perhaps. The damn time? I dunno.

I mean, I’d suck either way, but I’d never be able to find all this time that I hear top players putting into things. I think I’ve played 30 ranked games total since SF5 release because…shit, I’m just busy. It’s no wonder top players can remain top players if it’s already their job to be playing.

Get back to me when you people win anything of fucking value or do anything of value.
