Round Robin?
did this go down?
nah but the jwong and choi match did and it was insane!
WHY NOT !? seriously…
Its funny that Valle actually had a better chance than Choi.
Alpha 2 - Choi won easy. Valle is better.
ST - Choi won 3 - 1. Valle is almost as good and beat KKY for starters.
MvC2 - Wong is untouchable by WC.
CvS2 - Justin beat Choi. Could probably beat Valle too.
3rd Strike - That would decide it, very likely. Valle did much better than Justin at Evo. He actually was the best US player at it. Valle could take it.
So yeah. People took Valle out because Choi would be a better match. Well, Choi fought bravely, the match was great, but Valle would be much beter. Not only would he have a better shot against Wong, he also has more history and fans beating japanese players all over the place.
Unfortunately Valle’s performance at EvoWest wasn’t as stellar as his performance at Evo Worlds. I believe the SRK crew went with Choi because he was consistent. Choi won ST at EvoWest (2nd at EvoWorlds), got 3rd in CvS2 at EvoWest (7th at Evoworlds). Valle got 7th in 3S at Evowest (3rd at EvoWorlds). He didn’t place in ST at EvoWest (7th at Evoworlds).
Based on the results of what SRK had at the time, I think Choi was the more logical choice.
I personally don’t mind… I was cheering for Justin the entire time.
It’s amazing the gift of retrospect.
Yeah, especially considering that Valle beat Wong during Evo Worlds 3s Tournie.
yeah man that was supposed to be epic…both have a GREAT background at playing the best in the world…example Daigo…justin went to SBO a couple times i believe…Alex was A3 US champion back in 97 (i think) still the point is they’re both Icons of the US…they have opposite play styles…Alex-attacker …justin-turtle
it all fits into a complete jigsaw puzzle…its the best match up that couldve gone down and it couldve been anyones game at that point in time at Evo worlds…but hey this is just my 2 cents…and this is all IMO…i just hope this can go down next year
