Shitload of pages in here.
Mostly bitching about the pronunciation of Ryu.
Fascinating.
Yeah, in my humble option this thread has just about outlived its usefulness.
EVO was kickass, tons of talent on display, great matches, great players…enough said.
Taunting on screen = game mechanic
Taunting in real life = gay mechanic
There is a big difference between moving your character a certain way and being a prick in real life.
It’s acceptable to punch people on screen, hello
this made me lol
Learn to read. Four x taunt = nothing.
It’s well documented that Kuroda was screwing around. (Yes I know that the taunts build stamina)
He let himself get hit and he even let himself get thrown at the end. Listen to the audience’s reaction when he is taunting early on and letting himself get hit. On top of that, he taunts **four **times. If you know 3S and Q, then you know that Q’s taunt is only effective up until the **third **time. Then look at 5:12 where he copies Justin’s meter building, or at 5:27 when he just sits there.
LOL you guys gotta think more and listen when watching the matches. Yes he used the taunts to gain stamina. But he also used them, along with the copying/turtling, to indirectly taunt Justin.
DO you mean RUUUUUUU?
/agree
*ponders is creating this was a good idea…maybe not! lol
LOL so true. Good points though, RichL.
You are wrong, it could have been closer. It was not as close as close gets, and Daigo is evo 2009 champion, not the best player in the world.
Mago and Ojisan are ranked higher in Japan so best in the world is still highly debatable.
Justin = best in USA…hence US national Champion
I also do not think Justin can beat Mago or Ojisan…they are the best Sagat players in Japan/world and Justin can’t counterpick them with anything. All three of his evo picks will not win vs. them.
Are you fucking blind or something?

And yeah, Wong did miss lots of chances for a headbutt but keep in mind that he is under IMMENSE tournament pressure.
Despite this, Wong still manages to clutch out crucial rounds allowing for him to make it to the final game.
And all you people who are complaining about how Justin got up during matches need to shut the fuck up.
If any of you guys got a game, let alone a round off of Daigo, I’m pretty sure you’d do the same thing.
Justin Wong plays off of the hype. Play to Win.
He also taunted him on the character select screen, purposely highlighting Chun Li like that.
We all know this but…
platinum_pinoy, already stated it. Didnt think I had to also.
Justin Wong Choke!
I was there, I guess Wong knew Rufus had no chance of getting the championship, so he picks abel and sits in the corner, then when he threw daigo off with Balrog, he couldn’t finish. Definitely Daigo had big problems with Balrog different appoach, but all i see justin try to do was the jap, jap, jap, head butt into the super, which cool by the way, but where the F*** is the Balrog counter punch that goes through any projectile. I mean daigo must have threw20 fireballs in one battle, and Just like all the years as we know justin, he choke like andy roddick, like tom watson the golfer! Mad probs to Daigo for hanging tuff, adapting and kickin Justin’s ass. Justin should stop talking shit about how he defeated Daigo without evidence.
Thank you for reading my first entry in SRK, you will hear more from me and see more of me, and if you want any peace of me. Let’s do it, hahahhahahaah:arazz:
f*** peace

And the evidence mounts.
By the way it’s also well-documented that Kuroda himself is a cocky guy. See SBO 2008 finals where he even *apologizes *for being a cocky guy.
You kids need to realize that when you get proven wrong and still try to reply that you just sound stupider. platinum_pinoy had a good point but that’s not the whole story.
people giving Justin shit?
ahahha wow a bunch of fucking haters…some people here make me fucking sick you limp dicked little keyboard warriors…go play your g-1 bullshit
you can bet your sweet ass if I would have done as Justin and come back like he did, I would have stage dived out in the crowd and then go back to gaming…
I feel that the real winner of this tourney was Justin Wong the guy is just awesome and he will beat Daigo next time they fight
and for the people who will give me neg rep that’s just me proving I’m right about you…pftt
And everyone wonders why there werent more japanese players who made the trip out…
It’s one thing to cheer on the hometown guy, but another to be disrespectful to visitors who’s culture is one based on selflessness, respect and consideration for everyone around you (hence no locks on sliding doors, it represents constant avilability). How are you going to expect anyone to come out and have fun when all they get for their time and trouble is the majority of the room chanting “USA USA USA!” like a friggin mob?
“Do it for the money”, you say? This will shock you, but money doesn’t make a hostile and obnoxious group less offesnive.
“they cheer at sbo and sporting events too” you say? Yes, they do…and those same places and events represent both competitive teams fairly. How you goig to have TWO Japanese players (one legend) come out to an event, be a minority that needs translators, and taunt them?
“if they can’t take it, they shouldn’t show up” you say? And when they dont, who loses? That’s right, the Americans. Japanese folks play high level comp allthe time, why should they fly out to hostile crowds when the competition is much steeper at home? For the community, that’s why. Now if only the community could grow up.
Now bring that neg rep and don’t forgetto sign Your name. Anonymous neg is for pussies.
Indeed.
Fun to watch. All I need to say.
Learn to read: “game mechanic” is something you do in a game.
If he taunted 1,000 times in game and got nothing for it it is still a game mechanic.
It is different from dancing around on the stage or getting in someones face or any real life taunting.
Do you seriously not understand that real life behavior has different standards than the behavior of characters in a video game?
Remember when TO caught a touchdown in dallas and then ran to the middle of the field to stand on the cowboy’s dallas star? And then San Fran lost the game? Thats Justin.
