so im obviously super mindblown at infilration’s oni choice and proficiency, and i still have grand finals to watch from the korea qualifier but… Hoodaman honda? iv never had so much fun watching him. i know he is eventually gonna lose but im “rooting for him even though the tourneys over” as I watch it. Does he consistently go yo tourneys? or am i just ignorant?
Damn, Infiltration’s Oni is something. I’ve never seen someone hit so many supers in a set. Some really cool uses of the air dash too in grand finals vs Momochi.
He is one of the best Honda players, some say maybe even better than Mike Ross. Unfortunatelly he is not sponsored and doesn’t travel much, so he doesn’t attend many tourneys. But when he does, he makes an impact. He won Hadokon IV (beating PR Rog among others), Won another local tourney (T13 ?) where he beat PR again, and won the GF against Ricky Ortiz, coming form losers !!
Finnished top 8 at Socal 2013 and Lillehammer. He also did well at Evo (unfortunatelly he ran into tough matches).
I’m glad you liked his Honda. I thought people find Honda boring, and with Zhi’s commentary…
Emanualb if u want to check out this long set of Infiltration (Oni) vs Hoodaman (Honda). We were discussing this matchup a while back. Hoodaman was not unfamiliar with the matchup he seemed well aware of Oni’s tricks and tools. Obviously Infiltration knows Honda well. So both knowledgeable players, so no surprise factor, both top players and in long set (15 matches!) Infiltration came out on top 11-4.
I notice Infiltration besides looking like an Oni specialist he is constantly trying out new things and combos in matches rather than just going for the conventional stuff that most Oni players know.
Thanks a lot.
So just making sure that I got it right…
There’s already 6 people that qualified due to their 1st place finishers at several tournaments which are:
Alioune
Tokido
Haitani
ChrisG
Sakonoko
Xian
The last 2 will be the grand finalists of the Asia qualifier.
The 2 people that have qualified for the Asia qualifier through the Korean tournament so far are:
Momochi and Infiltration, right?
So there’s 2 more regionals in order to qualify for the Asia Capcom Cup qualifiers and I guess it’s not clear yet if Daigo will attend to it, right?
This game still surprises me sometimes. I really thought even the top level players had plateaued late last year and that the game had been figured out more or less, but now we’re seeing matchups like Oni vs Juri in the Grand Finals. Good shit.
RB is a phenomenal Guy but he is very different from Marq Teddy and FloE. Marq uses pressure and FloE uses mixups and this guy is just fast fast fast reflexes and responses, even though he has very weak pressure which is odd for a Guy player
So many great players that lack sponsorship.
It’s really sad because if you look at LoL or Dota you see all kinds of trashcans being sponsored and playing full time.
