The AmeriKen (Sa) that should come home (vids included)

do you know any arcade that have sf4 here in oklahoma? i live in oklahoma too but im too lazy to go around and looking for one, i know a couple place but havent been to the arcade for years…

finally see a black guy who can uppercut on reaction:rofl:

Hes hella solid…

Well I if you really want to see it then sure I’ll post it. In this vid Marn loses this match to Daigo, but I also saw him beat Daigo a match too. It all just goes back and forth with everyone at Big Box i really do not know who is the best. AmeriKen won all of his fights with Marn I believe and I saw him and Floe go at it. At first they were tied in matches but I think in the end Ameriken caught on and starting beating him ongoing. BUt of course all based on CASUAL matches

in case you guys dont know the link still to all my videos

Which part of America did he used to live in? And how can he not know how to register… its not like this is a japanese website that he cant read lol

It would be nice if he went to one of the major tournies here, it would be pretty interesting to see how well he does.

He’s probably talking about kara fireball/uppercut. Makes it really hard to judge when it’s safe to jump based on distance.

Awesome, I’d love to live in Japan though not just for SFIV but for the Atmosphere, love the way they live over there.

Nice story.
What’s he doing in japan? Working? Or some kind of backpacking trip without coming back? I’m interested :smiley:

Would you happen to have any videos of Bouya?

Oh he told me he was from Oakland, California

Oh he married a girl who was from Japan in his college years and moved to Japan to be with his wife and I believe he is teaching english and bouncing for a club in Tokyo 1 or 2 nights a weeks

I do but only the one where he waves a peace sign and one clip at the beginning of his fight with Marn and another clip right when he KO’ed Marn for the win so I guess… nto I dont sorry, he was really nice though and loved the fact that I wanted a pic of him because he was the top ranked Zangief in Japan right now.

Like I said all the top Japanese players are very cool with one another… I really feel like they are just a group of friends… AmeriKen literally said hi to almost all of the top 20 players and got them to take pictures with me… it was like disney land for me heh.

I think later I will post my embarassing of me fighting the man I worshipped… Daigo… I feel like a complete fighting him… I mean I won my gamestop tournament here in Oklahoma city (Yea I know… whata joke right?) but yea I didnt think I was that horrible but hey I was fighting world’s best Ryu… hah yea I should upload it if you guys dont mind seeing a useless match vid of Daigo scarping me haha and you’ll also see me at the end of the clip

yes upload the vid shin!

Yeah I’m really confused that he’s the top ranked Zangief but there are no videos of him anywhere. Didn’t see him at Gods Garden stream, wasn’t listed in Shiozawa Cup, no TRFs, I guess he didn’t qualify for SBO?

It’s good to know that he EXISTS.

Yea I know what you mean… when i thought of top Zangief I thought of Itabashi but when AmeriKen introduced me to him I was also surpised because he looked like a goofy fun guy but Isaw his stats so yea I guess he’s the real deal… he beat Marn and others… but thats the thign about Japan… there are so many amazing players we do not know about and especially of course… AmeriKen who is one of us… but pretty much raised in the Japanese SFIV community which made him the monster that I met haha its so crazy… I heard someone call Japan the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and yea… I could never have agreed more

Then it’s your job to catch a video of him playing and report it to the srk community!

I’d like to see that too. This looks like you had an awesome time, I’d love to be able to go to Japan sometime, it seems like it would be a pretty interesting trip. It’s crazy how many SF4 arcade cabinets there are in that one room, probably more than there are in the entire US haha.

yo I think I told you that lol

oh about the hyperbolic time chamber? oh hell yea you were right… and of course DBZ forever…

well here it is…Well here is my 2nd fight with Daigo where I actually did worst compared tot he first time because. I think I did better the first time because he was relaxed and could not care less how I played, but this 2nd match took place 2 days before SBO so he brought his A game to fight Japan’s and the World’s best players who went to big box that night. I never felt so satisfied getting scraped. Thanks to AmeriKen for recording it and not making fun of me the whole time… ahh Marn and others were also watching haha

Oh and about the arcade cabinets there are 12 total machines and they are split 6 and 6.

The first 6 are all linked and are set to 2 rounds so that is where the pros play so they can get a taste of everyone… they are linked only to the ones across from them and they are set to 3 rounds. I would say the less godly players play there, but still sometimes the pro players play there to warm up and rack up huge win streaks.

and I posted my pathetic Daigo match on my youtube page… so enjoy… and my PSN is letsbefriends is you want try to the guy that got killed by daigo haha I’m really not that bad… I was awe when I was fighting him hah just playing he truly kicked my ass
