I"m not a huge Jago fan, but I thought his tribute to SK with the little Rose tutorial and the remembrance at the end of his show this week was classy. SK, we all miss you so much already.
I agree that Jago’s tribute was beautiful.
I just posted the following as a new thread on the main SF4 board because I think it’s something many people need to hear. Hope you enjoy it
I like to keep 0 unread messages in my inbox, but I’d let it get out of control a bit and was searching through pages of emails to find one or two unread messages I needed to address or delete, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw “Reply to your conversation from sksksksksk222” about an convo on SRK between us. I went and read it, and in it was this quote that I thought a few people might get something out of:
Whenever I play a top player, I treat my opponent just like any other opponent. It doesn’t matter if I’m going up against Arturo, Dieminion, Sanford, or whoever it may be. It doesn’t affect how I play. Just having that mentality that you’re playing a top player and feel hopeless, already puts you at a disadvantage where you’ve pretty much lost.
^ if you think you’ve got some skills but haven’t racked up the wins you think you deserve… that’s the attitude of a champion right there.
And this means a lot to me because we’ve talked about that.
How a person shouldn’t play differently just because they’re playing someone with a name.
You’ve already lost if you’ve thought that.
