Maybe they are taking some down time and trying other games who knows.
Quitting? Naw there just on the down low until SBO quals, then they come out of the woodwork (except J. I think he's retired. And maybe Hayao too).
Also, *Clap*Clap*Clap* HAMMER MOUNTAIN.
i know MOV (sadly/rare to see) moved on to SF4. i wish Kuroda would do the same. i heard when SF4 first came out he tried it and he picked Gief as his character, but lost like, really bad lol. so maybe thats why he doesnt like it.
I know KSK uses Abel there is a recent set with Tonpy and he goes up against him quite a bit.

-....... deep j. d+fierce and parry the dolphin dive, got it. Awesome play ^^
@Novacane
Yeah let's add parrying to IV :/ then we'll have a useless focus attack system on our hands and the heavy reliance on move properties (the entire POINT of IV gameplay imo) would be completely shattered. And I mean.. is anyone really wanting Gief having the option of parrying into u1 say... after an EX glove mixup? D: I also feel the juggle system of IV is not what a parry system would favor.
is it me or are a lot of the 3rd strike players quitting like RX kuroda Roshihikari Hayao Boss J ?i dont see anymore videos of them
