Denial is spot on. Americans come from the wrong side of the tracks when it comes to video games as a whole. It’s the like comparing a school from the ghetto and one thy a lot of trust fund kids go. Yeah, there will be some stand-outs from the poorly funded school, but as a whole, and due to the available resources, the better funded school will produce a richer crop of students.
Looking at it from a human factors and socioeconomic perspective, the deck is stacked in their favor.
Better/more abundant arcades= more competition
better Internet = better netplay
better media coverage (where are our mags covering the tourney scene?!) = more informed gamers
America is THE global bully and you guys have to realize there will be a stigma when you get out there. Some of it is brought on by sheer ignorance (why don’t they know how to speak English in japan? Because it’s japan, moron. Why don’t you know how to speak Japanese?) but some is just from the flag you rep.
YouTube a movie called ‘zeitgeist’ and get your minds blown.
actualy english is a world language and should not compared with japanese… besides that i dont even understand how a team would kick out a member a team should stay together and not just use the next best opportunity to get a better player for kicking a teammember;
if there is no realy realy good explanation for that (like jan got sick pregnant or something realy important - i would althou accept if he urgently need to go home becouse a cow on his farm calve) they where as bad as the japanese and maybe even deserve it
i mean come on who would just kick a teammember for a other teamleader ?
if you are a “extra wiener” you got handled like one… come on was the change of member realy so important to start with? does any other team change the members so short too?
bad luck - bad management - all those crying later do not help at all maybe it was unfair yes becouse they start and try and complain later but but this all would never happend if the team stand close to the teammambers…
Haha! Take the movie as a gateway to thoughts previously deemed blasphemous.
You can’t deny the ties between all the major wars and the bankers though. Think about the staff Obama recently appointed to spearhead this whole financial crisis response tream.
But toget back on topic, the Japanese don’t hate you guys personally, so don’t take it as such. Their history books just paint a darker picture of Americans (you really think american and Japanese history books are identical in retelling ww2?).
Good shit for even in a position to complain about being robbed, team America. That type of skill will always get respect. We know it was mentally jarring, but that’s why yuo guys are pros, right?

You’re a serious DUMBFUCK. Shut the fuck up. If we were given the OKAY to change my fucking team, I can change my fucking team. I told the guy who I changed out and he was OK with it, he left to Mikado and played GG even before we got the OK to change the team. So either way it was a 4man team or Arturo with us. SHUT UP.
I really like how you guys are fucking idiots and fucking say OH WELL YOU GUYS BROKE THE RULES, SHOULDN’T HAVE ADDED ARTURO ANYWAYS. …If you get the OK for something, and you go and do it because the MAIN dude said you could, THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS REALLY STOPPING YOU FROM DOING IT? How many times do I have to say it wasn’t A RULE BREAK if WE GOT AN OK. Shut the fuck up acting like, OH WELL GUYS I GUESS THEY’RE JAPANESE SO THEY’RE ALWAYS RIGHT CAUSE WE 09’ERS ARE ALWAYS ON THEIR NUTS.
you dont think i know that, as well as the rest of the team?
foreign country, foreign language, foreign situation, no translator. we’re supposed ot keep our cool? were human guy.
fair enough, ill give u benefit of the doubt. u can see how myself, and others can misconstrew what you said…i thin kyou were just the last person to say it (“team usa losing to random unknowns” somehow suggesting like, oh we lost to japanese scrubs or something. one guy here said they never even heard of FZ lolol)
You’re not the one who spent time/money/mental energy to travel all the way across the world to play a game in a foreign country, so yeah, not exactly easy to "chill out.’ I agree with the general message.
honestly i stopped reading here when you basically said “im a loudmouth with no results” (paraphrasing…) lol yeah i sure havent backed up my words with anything when it comes to SF4 results :rolleyes: Thanks for not being a dick about it tho. BTW, I will never stoop down to straight racism. Going to LCQ, so peace out.
PS - I LOVE how people claim, WE ONLY COMPLAINED AFTER WE LOST… NOT TRUE. The minute they stopped the match I was the loudest guy on my team saying DONT LET THEM START IT OVER etc.
believe it or not, it’s not the most widely spoken language in the world so there goes that idea…that’s just more ‘know my country’s policy or get out’ mentality.
anybody would leve if you ask him if its okay to change his place… its like telling anybody “you realy suck man and if i can hafe XYZ i would prever XYZ” why should he stay…
no one say it was a rule break the maindude maybe messed up maybe he did not understand wath you where asking for ; the japanese team saw a opportunity and take it i would blame the main dude and not the japanese team
and well to change a guy in the first place is not the best idee even when the maindude say yes your fucked up situation is the proof… i feel sorry for the situation but thats it it was a missunderstanding/failor handle it…
Ok, I vote this thread be locked since the tournament is over. SRK drama doesn’t need to do any more to throw the USA’s chosen players off thier game. It was a messed up call, but what’s done is done.
