I do think that Asia's top players are overall better than NA and EU as a whole. Dieminion talked about this when momochi showed a "beginner" tutorial to competitive usf4 with the wakeup OS

But the gap isn't super large in a 2/3 setting. Its more obvious in a larger set like FT 5/7/10 such as the master series.

I don't think its character choice, but they do play a factor. I mean ryan hart plays yun and its not even close to kaz's level. Imo, its all due to the arcade scene and how arcades vs consoles are viewed.

Also I think it's how closely knit their community are. I'm not saying the American scene is selfish but there's like 4 huge regions in America (West, East, South, Midwest), 1 equivalent to japan in size. Information gets to more players there even with the day and age of internet. I mean that momochi OS, all of Japan knew about it and we barely discovered it even though it was online for like a year.

Would like to alert that chicken wing U1 after fadc flame kick does work on Elena.

source: me doing it in training mode.

 

[jediyoshi]

the elena dream is alive

 

[sixteen-bit]

Xian is so amazing!

 

[Rainy]

That crowd is behind Xian.

 

[Nabs]

Woooh. Get that money.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Xian da god. Yeeeesss

 

[commanderpepper]

I didn't know U1 whiffed on Elena. I wonder if Momochi will bring out his Elena.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Xian is in top shape

 

[RangerBAD]

"Guaranteed to win."

 

[kitzkozan]

Cause fuudo is really good?

Making a distinction between players and characters is not something that everyone can do. How many Fei Long are currently doing very well outside of Fuudo? Certainly not Mago, that's for sure lol.

 

[K.Sabot]

I didn't know U1 whiffed on Elena. I wonder if Momochi will bring out his Elena.

It works.

edit: it also works the same with with LK chicken wing

 

[tagrat]

Watching this makes me really want to get back in to Street Fighter. Do we have any clue when USFIV is coming out for PS4?

 

[Tekniqs]

whens the next CPT date?

 

[Unlucky]

I think Kazunoko will take this

 

[commanderpepper]

It works.

Apparently it whiffs after dp fadc chicken wing according to Ultrachen.

 

[Kimosabae]

I predict Momo to lose. I don't think he's playing like himself.

 

[Duxxy3]

Plenty of peripherals for street fighter 5... as long as capcom (and madcatz) allow it.

ehh I agree but not for the same reason exactly.

There are regions of japan where the top players do not play at. Pepedai is considered in "backwater" japan (not sure if true) and was relatively unknown to any international players and surely there were Japanese players that didn't know who he was either.

I think information does travel more quickly only because they are together way more often in their arcade scene. WNF is once a week when it was active in a sprawl out area. NLBC is also once a week but luckily in a more dense area.

These players have the potential to play with each other way more often than anybody in the EU or NA. So the information does travel faster but only locally in Japan. Honestly, the NA/EU are more willing to share info with things like youtube. Don't really see Japanese players record their games or post tutorials.

but this is all imo.

edit
Also the fact that in the arcades, you have an incentive to be good financially.

 

[Rainy]

Kazunoko...

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's like Superman trying to punch kryptonite

They're wrong, come watch me do it in training mode.

[Tekniqs]

Kazu the nut

 

[sikvod00]

Fuudo is like top 10 in the world and he happens to play a high tier character. That means he generally doesn't have to work as hard as a Sim player, for example. We don't have to discredit the player or discredit how strong their character is.

Speculation is sometime around the arcade stick release. Next month or may.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Kazunoko getting that catharsis

 

[mbpm1]

Well Mago's not playing Fei lol

 

[Codeblue]

Oh wow, Kazunoko is actually fighting back. Hope he can finally pull it off.

 

[KidA Seven]

whens the next CPT date?

2 weeks there are 2 Premiere Events, which is what Final Round is.

Nor Cal Regionals

Hypespotting in Scotland

 

[Rainy]

James with the tennis references.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Must be nice getting compared to Andy Roddick lmao

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Alot can't

But maybe this ties to a problem raging is talking about. The game is the arena with its rules and the characters are the weapons you choose when you step in.

People blame characters too much or are too stubborn to switch or blame wins and loses on characters when it is really their play and decision making.

Whos knows.

 

[Azure J]

Kazunoko looking like Shin Scrub Ken out here with all these Shoryus

 

[KidA Seven]

In America there is Hamad. In Singapore there is Gackt.

Fuudo > Gackt >> Hamad


All 3 are very good.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Yolonoko

 

[kitzkozan]

Well Mago's not playing Fei lol

He's viewed as the japanese Gootecks these days (I also like the Mago c-tier meme)...

 

[Rainy]

This is really good. Kazunoko not getitng bodied this time.

 

[Ragingnight]

lol people calling momochi and kaz yolo's when most likely its that OS that momochi made a tutorial about.

 

[commanderpepper]

They're wrong, come watch me do it in training mode.

You're right, too bad for Fuudo.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Momochi not quite as impeccable execution wise as he was at Capcom Cup and ESWSSWSE

 

[Rice-Eater]

Aw, come on man. Kaz didn't deserve to go out like that

 

[twozerotwo]

He's viewed as the japanese Gootecks these days (I also like the Mago c-tier meme)...

Japanese Gootecks, you say?

 

[FourMyle]

Kazu still free to momochi lol

 

[Sigmaah]

Shoryu city holy shit

They're wrong, come watch me do it in training mode.

He probably didn't want to risk it then, or he got bad info.

 

[sixteen-bit]

dat mental guardbreak

 

[Rainy]

Fuudo with that smile.

 

[K.Sabot]

He probably didn't want to risk it then, or he got bad info.

Yeah I just don't like bad information being put out there.

 

[Codeblue]

Well, at least you won Xrd.

Maybe next time Kazunoko.
