Eduardo would do a lot better in the Viper matchup if he just chose Ultra 2. He doesn't even need to use it. Just pick it to keep Viper honest.
That Viper vs Dudley match was nowhere near as good as I hoped. Double perfect......
He's being smart by not choosing ultra 2. He's forcing himself to learn fundamentals against viper without resorting to the obvious. THIS is how you train, people. He's not leaning on the ultra 2 crutch without covering the basics first.
I was more impressed by the one game PR Rog actually picked Boxer than every game he played Fei combined. He had such good stuff going on, and opened my eyes to something I had never even considered in two rounds with Boxer. As Fei he was completely uninspired and looked like he was going through the motions of a YouTube tutorial video...
I really hope he does well and enjoys playing Fei Long, but I would be a much bigger fan if he did some soul searching and blew everyone's mind with his inspirational Boxer skills.
Regarding PR Rog vs Latif, if this is the same set I saw on stream, then this is kinda old. Also keep in mind, both players agreed that the connection wasn't great.
I love Eduardo's confidence because with that mentality your only going to go up but that being said he won't be winning evo. First of all he's switching characters and some of his opponents have been using the same characters they've been successful with for long time now.
Second even though he's been playing against some great players he's not consistently playing against the top players. So yes putting in all this time and dedication is going to make him a stronger player but he's not going to be winning evo.
Eduardo saying earlier that he wants to take evo...unfortunately I don't see that happening.
1) Practicing 8 hours a day online isn't really good practice for EVO.
2) He lost to Latif (albeit online) here, and Latif loses (badly) to Infiltration. On top of that, Eduardo has lost multiple times to Infiltration already. If he already can't beat Latif how is he going to take EVO?
3) His two mains Rog and Fei both are disadvantageous against Akuma
ehh......he was given that nickname for a reason. His Balrog is like 10x better than the glimpse I seen right here. SWITCH BACK Eduardo!!! It's not too late!!
I'd still like to know when and WHY he decided to switch from Balrog. Several Japanese players such as Momochi and Mago mentioned that they think he's the best Balrog in the world. Why would he go from being known as the best player of a specific (relatively) underused character, to being a great (but not amazing) player of an overused character?
