I think Vangief's strong pad play further proves that knowledge and experience, nowadays accessible to almost anyone, have little to do with arcade versus console, old school versus new.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826787550676541006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196813830708036159.post-34814265016457601512010-07-14T00:08:54.492-07:002010-07-14T00:08:54.492-07:00Excellent recap of the weekend.

I was really disappointed to see him lose to Mike Ross in a nailbiter. I felt that either GamerBee or Infiltration had the best chance of knocking out Daigo but unfortunately they did not get that chance.<br /><br />GamerBee is fluent in Japanese and trains online with top Japanese players. So for all of the lessons he taught the community this weekend, one of the biggest might be that, contrary to what many U.S. pros believe, online play actually matters.Protocol Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857254197283870044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196813830708036159.post-77903877593934290462010-07-13T18:55:57.250-07:002010-07-13T18:55:57.250-07:00Well, Justin did not quite go into that match with...Well, Justin did not quite go into that match with a 12-0 record against the other guy, but Adon is indeed about as limp as a wooden racket.Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826787550676541006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196813830708036159.post-31444109263079614652010-07-13T01:07:16.040-07:002010-07-13T01:07:16.040-07:00It was never going to be me, but I knew in my bone...It was never going to be me, but I knew in my bones all along that somewhere out there was an Adon player who would show that Adon wasn't just the kid's meal at the Sagat Bistro. <br /><br />So, just to give us some perspective, how does this GamerBee match compare to other sports? Is it like Soderling beating Federer in the quarters at Wimbledon? Or like Soderling beating Federer in the quarters at Wimbledon using a wooden racket?Czardozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328299312884380446noreply@blogger.com
