Whats the deal with everyone putting down Abel…he has shortcomings but he is still a good character…I’m sure Shiro and Iyo will make it to SBO:tup:
^ they got another red ticket this weekend so they’re defintely still trying
Taiwanese SBO Qualifier results.
Sorry the Rufus player’s name I probably have wrong.

Hi,
Do you know when the Korean Block is scheduled for SF4 ?

SF4 ?? Seoul provisional selection : http://www.youtube.com/user/MrDoTal

Yeah he had like 97% wins with Rufus July through August
-> lost [media=youtube]8o4z0ac5Kuo[/media] to kindevu
-> switched to ken
-> ???
-> profit!
Rly looking fwd to the gorgeous/joseph team in VF5R
Im so torn, i should be routing for America (especially as a guile player 
). But I really want to see Yoshio win SBO…
Iyo hasn’t qualified yet?
This.
I’m rooting for Yoshio all the way for the same reason. I think the Guile/Honda team would be sick champions.

No Boxer at all?
Yasuda sold out on his boy Tiba to team with a Sagat. It’s too strong.
Looks like the Tiba(KE)/Yasuda(CH) duo is no longer the foundation :sad:.
Ojisan and Tokido… Now I definetly have a team to cheer for.
Top 4 should be them, + Momochi/Kindevu, Daigo/Nuki and Combofiend/Valle.
In 3S, I’m still waiting for OTB to qualify.
This year is gonna be awesome, so many crazy teams!
Im guessing boxer has officially been “Figured out”
Not in Europe yet though since Justin Wong qualified with him.
I presume he has to use Boxer at SBO now? Or can you use a different character to the one you qualified with, so long as you don’t switch during the tournament?
You can’t switch characters and you can’t switch team members.
Oh, and Europe is waaay behind Japan, qualifing with Boxer doesn’t mean you’re gonna do well over there.
Although I woul’d go as far as saying that Boxer is already figured out in Japan.
I don’t remember the name, but a Boxer player peaced out Ojisan Boy in a recent TRF Grand Finals.
