Japanese Players Joining EVO 2011

Evo Championship Series
21

Here’s the top 16 for the shadowloo Showdown tournament this week-end:

Winners:
•GamerBee (Adon)
•Kindevu (Yun, Sagat)
•Haitani (Makoto)
•Poongko (Seth, Yang)
•Xian (Yun)
•Uryo (Sakura)
•RF (Sagat, Fei Long)
•Toxy (Akuma, Yun)

Losers:
•MOV (Ken)
•Human Bomb (Yang)
•Tokido (Akuma)
•Itabashi Zangief (Zangief)
•Mago (Fei Long)
•Mike Ross (Honda)
•Makoto (Vega)
•Momochi (Ken, Cody, Yun)

Total: 14 different characters in this top 16; which is very good !!

This roster is STACKED !!! INCREDIBLE !! Justin Wong and Ricky Ortiz woudn’t even made top 16 in this tournament. And all of theses players listed are coming to EVO !! On top of that, with all the best EUROS (Luffy, Alioune, Starnab, Ryan Hart, V-Ryu) and probably at least 10 more japanese players (Amiyu, Neurosis, Daigo, Sako, Shiro, Bonchan, Tsrai, Fudo and more) + Infiltration, aside the ones we’ve seen at Shadowloo showdown that are crossing the ocean too…

This is not looking good for the USA…
Overall, I will be EXTREMELY surprise if more than 2 americans makes top 16 at EVO and I’m dead serious !!

IMO, Mike Ross, Wolfkrone and Hsien Cheng have the most chance of making top 16, but it will be extremely difficult…

I hope the Lady beast AKA Choco Blanka will be there and avenge some losses from season’s beatings, I hope Momochi can help her with this

Crossing my fingers for -R- to come.

Not exactly the Japanese person that some people were hoping for, but I’m sure some fanboys will still get excited for this news.

How many unawares are going to hit on Kayo?

26

is that Kayo police the tranny or am I thinking of someone else

27

Pre-OP transexual, yes.

Does anybody know if she’s going to hold a small booth to sell her MOOK? Lol

Kayo Police is a nice addition, now we just need someone to confirm that Poongko is coming.
