Well, Gee-O was there, but didn’t enter because he wouldn’t be able to make the trip to Japan. J.R. got to winners’ finals and lost to Valle, then lost to Pyrolee and decided not to re-enter for some reason. Alex Valle has been practicing 3S pretty hard as of late and he’s returning to his old form. He played a very solid Ken today. You don’t hear about him playing much 3S, but he’s easily top 2 in SoCal…
Haven’t seen much of Valle in 3rd strike, other than him losing 8 matches and winning 2 in the Evo and B5 DvDs. I saw him beat Choi last time they played 3s against each other at a Sunnyvale tournament that I attended. Beating Choi means you’re really good. Using Ken instead of Ryu or Yang is a huge step towards dominance as well.
Anyway, I’d like to say congratulations to Ben and ID for qualifying at GGXX.
But, weren’t there supposed to be three people qualifying for GGXX?
