things just got real and at @6 justin and daigo are pretty much overall top in u.s and japan and has been that way for over 10 years

damn I know schools important and all, but we could have had another opportunity to see an epic Wolfkrone/Daigo match. And according to lastnight's Cross Counter Live, since Floe might not be going anymore either, I think Online Tony and his Seth would be the next best candidate. It will most likely be Hugo101 or SnakeEyez.

Infiltration participating in SF4 HD, not the console version. M Lizard & KimLegend qualified for that.

Oh wait, didn't see it below. My bad.
I think Sagat for SF4 HD is correct but not for console. He used Akuma/Hakan in Qualifier.

Justin's going to have trouble cracking top 8 if all of Korea's heavy hitters show up. That includes their online warriors who play Japanese players all day (sup Bullcat).

kamumu said on February 1, 2012 at 9:43 a.m.

#11 Korea has 4 attendees for both tournaments. They've probably just copy pasted infiltrations info to both sides.

SHOGUN said on February 1, 2012 at 10:04 a.m.

@13 Which Korean heavy hitters? That supposed "Best Viper in the world" from Canada Cup? That one Gief player? ZangMoo?

There's pretty much only the two (Poongko and Infiltration both whom got 3rd and 4th place ) maybe 3 if you count Bullcat, Suffice to say, I think Justin will do fine.

@#13 Uh, there is only 8 players total in this tourney, so he's already made top 8. LOL

i don't get why people hating on invitations. Especially if that player is Daigo.

Typo Daigo didn't get 3rd in SFIV AE at Evo 2011. He got 4th. Poongko got 3rd
