Crowd consensus from subscribed members of the board,
People have already brought up these two i think, or at least EBI, but frankly the majority doesn’t seem likely going to go out on a limb for them atm I think.
Well Smug, Xiaohai, and Momochi all got destroyed on the 1st day of Topanga. Didn’t get to see how close the matches were, but Smug only won 2 games and the other two won only 3. At this point the only people I can see Smug beating are Luffy/Xiao/Poongko. Maybe he can beat Momochi since he seems kinda free to pressure, but anyone with really good footsies/defense seems to mollywhop him.
Anytime you see Momochi lose, its almost always because he gets mixed up to death. You hardly ever see the guy lose in footsies, and if you do it’s from guys who are miles ahead of Smug in that department.
Then Luffy isn’t the proper opponent for Smug,right? If Smug suffer players with good footsies and defense then Luffy doesn’t look free in those department.
I put Luffy because it seems he has trouble against pressure as well since he seems to always be doing something on wakeup even after being punished several times for it. I also don’t know if there are any strong Dudley players in France, so the matchup inexperience might affect his chances.
I think people hate Rose more than Luffy and I understand that. As a french dude, I’ve seen luffy win everything in europe for 4 years doin’ backdash u2 twice a round… even I am tired of that, big time.
Momochi is playing classic Street Fighter, while we all play herp derp. Smug lacks experience, but then again, he won’t improve unless he gets his ass whooped. Same can be said for Snake Eyez. They’re both great players lacking experience.
I’m getting tired of seeing Evil Ryu, it’s not like I’m seeing combos after an axe kick.
