How did you end up living in Japan if you don’t speak Japanese and where are you from in America?
I think he’s at work now, but he met his wife in California at school where he is also from. And when she moved back to Japan he went along. S
peaking Japanese is not a requirement to teach english in Japan so thats how it all worked out for him. Some companies actually prefer that you do not speak Japanese in order to give their clients the most authentic english experience.
I visited Japan about 8 times now and I could easily get by with just basic Japanese however it does get lonely not being able to communicate with most people
Sounds cool
What a great experience. Thanks for sharing shinobaka and ameriken!!
Congratulations!! I envy you all
… one of my dreams is to go to japan … someday
I need to start saving some monayz

sup Kenneth nice to meet you! lets go to tournaments while im here sir. I will be here for a while leveling up, I will email you my number real soon.
also AS FOR GIRL SAGAT
yeah shes fucking hot (if youre into asian girls) … and shes good. shes on par with USA sagats for sure. first game i played her, she fucked me up, then i looked over and i was like…oh no…then i bowed to her, hahaha. Because you dont see that kind of thing in the US.
Actually, since ive been here, ive seen 3 or 4 girl gamers that play SF4 that are actually VERY good. Choco from Nagoya (girl Blanka player that plays with Kokujin) GOT THE SMART FUCKING STUFF UGHHHHHHHHHHH.
but yeah, me and marn were both in love with the girl sagat player lol, so i was trying pretty hard to cockblock him hahaha
will try to get some pics and vids of her playing, dont wana feel like a stalker tho.
You sort of cross that line when you start taking pics and videos of her, lmao. It’s all good though.
Do you make them with your cellmate? Don’t ask stupid questions and please stay on track.
this…
Hey thanks for posting in my thread Sabin I was wondering when did you get to Japan…and were you at GodsGarden? Just curious if I ran into you. I think I remember GirlSagat at GodsGarden if she is who I think she is… yea she was pretty damn good.
I recalled a Sagat in the godsgarden girls tourney, she’s pretty wack doing random ultras in between people’s blockstrings. The Blanka was a beast though.
and i dont think sabin was at godsgarden.
I noticed he said he is in Japan leveling up. Does Sabin play SFIV professionally like Marn and JWong?
There is no professional sf players.
Ameriken shits on US Sagats. That is all. Except for Floe. Floe’s cool.
oh I remember FLoe from Big Box, he’s a nice guy. Him and AmeriKen traded matches but then Ameriken began to pull up after adapting but yea Floe has a great Sagat
I was looking at some vids on youtube and remmmbering my trip and I just realized I met Ricky Ortiz? I heard of his name here and there and I’m really surprised I met him… he took a picture for me at Big Box… so Ricky if you’re reading this thanks friend, sorry to have bugged you like a whacked out tourists haha
great job shinobaka.
But please, stop trying to PROVE everytime that you filmed the real guys.
We trust you don’t worry lol
(and we don’t like missing the action right in the middle of the round :)))
thanks bud, nice to know, I’ve seen how harsh and paranoid some people could be on here. But yea just wanted to show you guys the scene there and meet the faces of players of course.
I love meeting faces… hahaha
Random thought: I wonder when the last time was that Daigo got dizzied.
Nice insight though.
