that guy who played balrog in the finals has a very good zangief, for some reason, he tried to switch to balrog in the finals… when he gets back to zangief, things get really better.
Someone want to fly me out next year so I can win this thing? I’ll bring my pet iguana; he’d probably come out in the top 8 just playing with his tail.
Well these guys are in South America so…they’re only going to play the game at such a high level if they haven’t seen that much high level SFIV play. No one’s really pushing them to do anything other than throws to punish things I guess. KOF is still the big thing down there I guess.
this was the first SFIV tourney with some more people…
around 100 people…
also, no one had even played the game before it was out on consoles.
but off course, this is no excuse, the gameplay around here isn’t impressive yet and surely will be much better next year.
For the “big thing” I think the tournament scene for MvC2 is bigger than KoF here even if KoF still has more players in absolute numbers, KoF is really big also and TvC already have a handful of competent players.
SFIV is developing and soon enough our gameplay will be good.
We don’t have sf4 arcades (well we have now, it’s a PC adapted on an arcade lol), and we can only practice online with ourselves, or else we have a 1-bar connection.
Yes, our level is way lower than US/Japan but we’re doing what we can to get better, the main problem is that we have very limited tools to work with
Exactly, plus consoles in brasil are ridiculous in price. How would you like to pay 750 dollars for a premium xbox 360 or 900 dollars for a ps3. If you have nothing productive to say about the vids get out :annoy:
Think it’s great that you guys got SF4 Tourneys going down there. I know how it is with no arcades around, you mostly gotta practice on the net, and with a couple of friends.
I don’t think people should be too hard on the scenes outside of the hot spots like America, Japan, and certain Euro countries. Like the guys say, they hardly even have a console scene. It’s not easy for the better players to get together since they seem to be few and far between.
I say good luck to you guys and hopefully the scene and skill level improve dramatically at next years Evo South America. And as a pad player myself, I wish I had that kind of skill and execution with a pad that the Sagat player who won it has.
surely our play level will improve…
everyone played SF4 for, at most, 4 months or so before the event…
and everyone we could play was some other guys starting from scratch just like us or some random guys which are in average worse than us and above all that with a lot of lag at PSN or XBL “random” matchmaking.
and yes, Binop, the Sagat player was playing on a dualshock 3.
