Whatevs.

Yeah, he wasn't playing like himself at all. It's whatever. SS marvel was actually kinda nice. I liked that ghost rider player, he played solid IMO outside of a couple mistakes.

The first one being selecting ghost rider but I digress.

EG is fucking retarded picking up Kbrad. This dude sucks ass without: Backthrow > Cr.LP -> Mixup.

I don't care what Twitter baggage he has, they should have picked up ChrisG if they knew what they were doing.

**Krandor** · 2014-08-31 19:03

Native PLZ

**Chun Liroy** · 2014-08-31 19:04

All aboard the FUCK THAWK TRAIN.

What a fucking scrubby ass character.

**Sho** · 2014-08-31 23:53

At least he's not as bad as Cammy.

**Callisto** · 2014-08-31 23:59

I would take fighting Cammy over fighting Gief or Hawk any day

Same. I'd rather fight Yun or anyone else over Hawk.

**Krandor** · 2014-09-01 06:10

Haters.

Obviously fighting Hawk doesn't bother me, but I definitely dislike Gief.

**octopus** · 2014-09-01 08:08

I play Juri on the side so I don't mind T Hawk lol ;o

Although Dimps -- the development studio that Capcom commissioned to make Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4 -- was not involved in the development work for Ultra Street Fighter 4, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono has recently made the studio an offer to make a new fighting game that utilizes the latest cutting-edge technology, Dimps director Takashi Tsukamoto wrote in his address to potential applicants.

Oooooooooh ok.

**Callisto** · 2014-09-01 16:09

oh well that totally makes up for them tanking USF4

In other news

No Akuma, Oni, Gouken or Dan in the top 100
Wao's win rate with E.Ryu is um not very good. Looks like he dropped Oni
Dragonboy went Yang > Abel > Ken
Amiyu's win rate with Sagat is CRAZY 89%
Michael Tan Ken is back, probably because 4th Topanga A League coming up
Mago using Yang more, I hope he sticks with him. His win rate is 60% though lol
Makoto (Vega) is also back

**Akiyama** · 2014-09-01 18:02

Whether K-Brad was a good or bad pick-up is whatever, but to pick up Chris G instead is absolutely fucking hysterical. Thanks Welt, I needed that after being super tired from my trip to Seattle!

**Weltall** · 2014-09-01 19:37

NP, its the right choice! People need to not be such pussies when a random fighting game player states his or her opinion on something.

He fluctuates between #1-2 best US player overall. He does the most for your brand. People forget, fast. Its only been like 3-4 weeks since he said 'whatever he said' and already no one gives a fuck. Any one that does needs to do something more productive with his or her self.

**Akiyama** · 2014-09-01 22:52

It's not *just* that. He's been known to be Queen Diva of FGC Drama Queens. At least when the shitters over at AGE had Fanatiq (who's shit), he shilled harder for their brand than anyone possibly could. Chris G ... I doubt he'd give a shit, really.

But hey, whatever. EG's had assholes before.

**Sho** · 2014-09-02 14:02

Actually, Welt is right. You have to be nuts to think ChrisG wouldn't shape up if he started getting that EG money. He would also be branded right alongside Justin Wong, Ricky Ortiz, PR Balrog, and Momochi, some of the strongest FG players in the world. In turn he would do that much more for their FG brand just by being a part of it. If you didn't realize this by now, EG isn't afraid of dropping dead weight players (or players who damage their brand) in any of their leagues -- FG division would be no exception (that goes for KBrad as well).

No one cares about Twitter drama in any avenue if they are true businessmen/women, unless it deeply affects their brand or product. You need to ask yourself, "Why does Triforce continue to make business connections despite being so hated?" At the end of the day, that childish shit passes with time, unless you are a kid who likes to instigate drama (in which you become a non issue to anyone involved). The only time you see companies being affected by social media is when it's so large it actually starts to make headlines and newspapers. This however is big corporation money, and not this small time shit we are talking about.

**Weltall** · 2014-09-02 14:21

Some people are just idiots and have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to this. They are the same ones who weren't around when Justin Wong was the most hated person in the FGC. No one liked his opinions, his SRK posts, his shit talking, poor sportsmanship, etc+etc+etc. EG still signed him, turned around his attitude, and now he is easily the most marketable FGC player in the US.

Akiyama, do you even play FGs? 14-er, if so?
