Is Asia going to give USA better competition this year at Evo?

Blah

FChamp won NCR

lol where is teh boy Dark Geese? I dont hear from him no more. Guess he got old and put the controller down. He’s pretty cool guy, eh, reps old school snk games and doesn’t afraid of anything.

I think he still plays. Saw him in the MLG KOF chat and he was on the roster at one of them (assuming it was him and not just someone using the name)

He isn’t playing as much as he did, instead he is organizing tournaments/ranbats in all of South America and Morocco.
DG is also recruiting KOF talent across several continents. He makes them run trials in order to qualify for sponsorship. Mexican veteran Luis Cha is one of his recruits and did pretty well at MLG.

Filipino talked about this recently

So far G.X was right about America having to watch out for Kurosu…so they also might want to watchout for Abegen as well.

Here is a list of Japanese players at EVO2012 for UMvC3 (in pool order with a fun fact):
-GX (H3) [aka. kuuronn, multiple-time SBO qualifier (HNK/TvC/SBX)]
-Mago (I6) [MAGO2DGOD]
-Mamespider (J3) [aka. kinmamespider]
-Abegen (J6) [aka. abegen21]
-Umezono (J10) [two-time SBO champion (3S)]
-Daichi Akahoshi (J16)
-Momochi (K3) [two-time SBO champion (3S/SF4), beware of Dark Vergil]
-Kiyomatsu (K7)
-Kubo (K13) [multiple-time SBO qualifier (MBAC/TvC)]
-Daiki Matsubara (L2)
-Shimada (L4)
-Tokido (L6) [THE MURDERFACE]

Kubo is MBAC SBO champ and also Guilty Gear SBO qualifier

Any idea who is Daichi Akahoshi, Kiyomatsu(the A3 Guy player???) and Daiki Matsubara?

if you don’t know who a japanese player is, what hope does anyone else on SRK have?

Actually I now know who Daiki Matsubara is but I’m not saying lol. It will be a big surprise at Evo.

I hope it’s the Japanese Viper/Doom player. LOL.

Fubarduck said one of the Japanese players is a spoof. Some English speaker probably trolling. I believe it’s “Daiki Matsubara” since he mentioned the guy’s english was too good for a random japanese guy and that’s an anime character Kusoru was talking about on twitter a lot.

Is he good though?

If Daiki Matsubara is Kusoru, I’ll go nuts.

I bet Daiki’s a certain Zero player from Texas.

I WANNA BELIEVE IT

I’m starting to think it isn’t who I thought it was…but if it’s Mihe instead, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to be honest.

Mastubara sounds suspicously like masturbate. Could be kusoru’s trolling.

Ima make a thread called “which american player is gonna get bodied by a jap” and the only word in the post will be “ARRYYYBODY!!”

cuz Japs got dem Gundams. Act like you know.
