So far i know, It’s Jwong, Sanford, Twizted Jaygo, Chris Hu, VWScrub aka Puerto Rican Balrog guy, Vegita-X, Issei, Checkmate, Floe, Demon Hyo. I dunno about the rest of them. I assume Alucard,Daigo, and Dr.Chaos made it out too.
Yea, but he beat Daigo the other times with Cammy right? I’d think he’d stick to her or stick to what he’s been using more recently which would be a Ryu of his own.
Yes, Wolfkrone is damn legit. Played him in few casuals. He’s serious. Since i play Gief, i use analog, but. seriously, viper? crazyyyyy. i watched his hands while playing. it’s just mind blowing. lol
Confirming this. Had a real fucking close match against his pad viper against my Cammy on Friday. Shame his team lost to a Gen though.
… It could just be the pizza I ate, but I don’t have a good feeling about this.
…Also are casuals being set up tomorrow? As much as I enjoy watching players play, there’s only so much one can learn from watching. Besides, I want a rematch against Wolfkron’s Viper and SuperFree’s Fuerte, lovin’ that mask.
Yeah I have played Wolfkrone a fair amount online. I’m not the most qualified to judge but I’ve played some of the best and I’m not surprised at all to see him shaking things up. In fact as soon as he told me he would be at SB4 I was pumped to see how he would fare against the “big name” players and I now have my answer.
I never knew I was playing a pad player though lol. Although I have no bias against pad players because i’ve seen aulord’s 360 pad Cammy melting down many of NYC’s best on multiple occasions. It’s definitely not for me but hey, whatever works lol. I think Wolfkrone started on SC and/or Tekken which could be part of it.
Also, I like the name porkloafking better lol
There are undoubtedly a lot of outstanding players out there who may seem “random” but it’s really just that “YJDK.” Not everyone lives in LA or NYC or Austin where there are many tournaments with vids being produced etc. Also, part of name recognition is being around for a while and, let’s face it, whom you run with. Now don’t get me wrong, the “name” players are well known for good reason - because they’ve produced high level tourney results, often over a period of years - and they deserve all of the respect they get as players, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t elite players who can beat a big name like LI Joe without it being a fluke.
Obviously I’m not a huge fan of the “random” concept, although I understand where it comes from and of course people must prove themselves against top competition to make any claims to greatness. But many people foster an idea that seems something like that being a top player is a super secret club that only the chosen un-randoms can join, but all of those top players were “random” shortly before they started winning. Daigo wasn’t “random” before he started stomping as a teenager… He’s fuckin Daigo… Couldn’t be “random” if he tried. He only seemed random because at the time, TJDK. But he taught em, all right.
The Beast himself was challenged by several players in the 3v3 besides Sanford, and I don’t think any of them were carrying “I have permission from the SRK peanut gallery to push/beat Daigo” cards… They just fucking did it. Almost everyone Daigo will face is “random” to him, but considering the kind of comp he gets in Japan on a daily basis, I highly doubt his mindset is anything like the e-peen types who populate the boards and think there is some sort of set heirarchy that determines who will beat whom… Ask some of the SBO participants about that.
Way too long, might deserve it’s own thread but whatever, I typed it at 2:00 AM so read it or continue to the next post bashing the live stream.
Wolfkrone aka Porkloafking is gdlk, real talk. He also took a round off of Daigo with his Viper in the winner’s finals of his pool.
Almost as gdlk as DevilJin’s suit.
PS. Wong’s Viper is free for Daigo. I have no idea why he used her at the end, but I doubt it’s because he actually thought he could beat him with her.
Oh yeah, anyone notice Daigo walking off to Big Lots, and there was like 15 other guys just stalking him? Could have just been me, but I found that sort of funny.
Wow, good shit Wolfkrone. I’m sad I missed those matches. I also got word that Yusuke (aka Juicy Chicken) made BB top 8 in loser’s and AaronS is still in winner’s. Good shit repping MI guys!
Yeah I just got home from the tourney, had some family shit come up but its fucking bananas. just met Wolfkrone yesterday but he knows his shit for real. Best of luck to the MI guys reppin it!
So what’s this I hear about JWong and Daigo almost getting arrested because they went through a McDonald’s drive-thru with no car? Sounds like a story just waiting to be told.
In other news, I’m still pissed off that I had to work this weekend and couldn’t go. This is one of the only major tourneys remotely close to my area for a while
