Dammit, I fell asleep just after the cosplay show with the Chun and Rose cosplayers.
Gotta check all dem vods.
On one hand it’s cool to see this because people will start respect her more as a good character ( yeah, some people still think she’s mid tiers somehow ) but with glory come people being bitchy.
Oh well.
From the first two matches, I thought the set was going to be a shut-out for Fei-Long.
Had me at the edge of my seat biting my nails… hype.
I knew the results before I watched archives unfortunately but while watching them I thought “how does Haitani do this?!” Dude’s amazing.
Didn’t get a chance to watch it, but damn, couldn’t be happier about this.
Anyone have a link on YT for the matches? I’m trying to learn Makoto.
Not sure on Youtube but you can watch the TGS Capcom Cup qualifiers here http://www.twitch.tv/capcomfighters/b/464023587
Top 8 starts with Haitani vs Choco. Just skip to around 4hr 35min mark. It’s good to watch the whole thing anyway.

Single elim, but we’ll take it.

The semi and final were all 5 to 4 down to the last round, and Haitani got a bit lucky with the Ultra2 hitting a crouch jab against Juso. Let’s be honest, Makoto won a major, but it was a bit shaky at times lol.
I think he did very well. Indeed he got lucky, but everyone get’s a little lucky sometimes. Atleast it happened when it mattered most.
Luck is a pretty big factor in fighters in general.
Haitani is doing very good at TGU :
He won vs Infiltration twice in a bo3.
This is grand Finals right now. Haitani comes from looser bracket while facing Xian.
EDit: He finished 2nd.

Pretty good run.
Make me confident that he will perform good at Capcom cup.
He still does better in long sets, as proved by the first ft5 in Grand finals, comcing back from 0-3.
GG to GS|Gllty in Final round 18, she ended 33rd (same rank as PR-Balrog or Justin Wong). I only saw one fight, it was gorgeous.

Good stuff, she played well. And she totally played the stream too, it was hilarious.
Did she make a snail joke with her fist ? I didnt understand but she was already in her opponent head at this point.

She like blow a kiss to the camera after her first match, and on her other streamed match, she did the peace sign near Julio’s arm when he was readying his stick.
Julio was devastated to be eliminated by her, it was funny.
I didn’t expect her to beat Julio, such a bad matchup, and Julio practice with Kelvin all the time. Those EX Karakusa very early really got into his head.

im really happy she was there representing makoto on stream. I was worried when I saw her going in against that yun, but she won and put on a good show at the end with that reset lol
