Virtua Fighter champion Fuudo beat the best in the world at Street Fighter
You can say Daigo wasn't at his best, he had a cold, yes it did seem that way, but also earlier on, the entire tournament was a cakewalk for him, maybe the pressure got to him in the end, or signing too many autographs and doing too much promotion with Mad Catz all day could of also counted against him, who knows.
Latif's streak against Daigo, Poongko was pretty impressive though, he also won SBO qualifiers as well, but had to give it up because of some visa issue.
This tournament also points something out, are the twins really that strong in the end?
It's something I've thought about, and in certain situations they are, but all of the Yun players got eliminated, no Yang players except Kindevu made it into the top 32 and he uses Yun instead now. There were more successful C.Viper players, lol.
Just like Phoenix in MVC3, people are figuring out what to do to beat them now, I don't think they'll be as nerfed as everyone wants them to be in the 2012 re-balance that ono is promising us, they might be, but I don't think it's needed as much.
