Empire Arcadia fighting division returns, interview w/ Sanford & Hiro

Posted by Catalyst — January 6, 2012 at 2:44 p.m. PST

Empire Arcadia announced that they suspended their fighting game division back in August of 2011, and Triforce later revealed that operations would re-open in January 2012.

EMP released this video recently with its members Hiro and Sanford Kelly talking about their post tournament experience at Big Two #8, where both competitors placed in the top 8 for SSF4 AE v2012.

Video from Empire Arcadia's YouTube page. Submitted by Rafael2487.

Sanford is one of the gods of marvel and sf, best sagat in the US by far and arguably the best marvel 2 player only rivaled equally in skill by Jwong

Lol at clans on non team based games. When u clan in a shooter, u rely on a team. In a fighting game its only yourself.

Those guys just like they smoked too much green stuff, or are they just depressed? Don`t know.

Don´t worry, be happy :)

Floe, and Long Island Joe both play or played Sagat, and they are very strong too. Expect more Sagats in 2012, and sure I only mentioned the states, but I do think Sanford is equally up there with the top japanese Sagats if not better. Just watch his play it's extremely solid and calculated, while maintaining high execution and amazing spacing and reads.
