[ISAIAHSCASTELLANOS]

No Ultra Combos?

[theominousthey]

Good match with two of my favorites. Woudl've been nice if Ross kept it a little closer but all the same, good stuff.

[LiangHuBBB]

GG.

[mchief117]

mike ross thinks hes blanka with all those lp headbutts

[kodata666]

not the greatest mike ross performance but i stil love him

[JonesyCR7]

1:46. blow n a half!!

[JCrest87]

If anyone knows how to play against Mike Ross best, It would be Gootecks. Mix that with the fact that Balrog is Mike Ross' worst matchup and Gootecks is pretty much Mike Ross' Kryponite :p

[shoxy218]

whoever made these brackets = fail

[Linkgt]

yea, the tourney was not organized at all. Took too long for matches, etc. maybe this will serve as exp

[ThePieIsFalse]

honda is one of the best characters against non projectile users, but adversely is one of the worst against projectiles :)

[carnstar]

id say you were right if you were talking about sf2 but since this is sf4 honda has a lesser advantage over non projectile players.. because hes slower and lost alot of range on his hand slaps.. something that in sf2 made him sort of king to the non projectiles.. i think gief was around the same block.

[carnstar]

really n00b? can u seriously say honda since sf2 he has been slower... yes his ochio throw is brilliant. i mained honda during sf2 and then i constantly practice with honda in sf4 and i can tell he can still win but he has to work harder. your just stupid learn to play first .... honda needs a more learning curver vs both sides in sf4

[dstructo88]

honda isnt too bad against projectiles apart from sagat..overpowered... against akuma he isnt too bad because a lot of users do air hadoukens which leaves them open for diving headbutts and timing ex headbutts can reach a guy before he even throws out a hadouken. I usually try stay close to projectile guys (which can be tricky) and destroy . I use 2 hate e honda lol. but now i'm maining him its a different story. Bison can also be a problem for e honda *in my experience*

[Nadrojsleek]

Damn, Mike Ross should've never talked about his Honda strategy on Gootecks podcast, or said that Balrog was his worst matchup!

[critikalx]

Balrog is gooteck's main, so he would have picked him regardless.

[konqrr]

Great finish, you saw that coming a mile away.

[kurtcobain1978]

That Honda wasn't very good

[8231549]

no, HONDA isnt good. Mike Ross is.

[VYP3R22]

@8231549 failed. Mike Ross proves that honda can be good buddy, i dont care ur comment is 1 year old, still its a failure

[8231549]

@VYP3R22 cool story bro

[HeadOfUchihaClan]

@VYP3R22 lol was this a reply to the comment that is most liked? It meant that mike ross is a beast not that honda is garbage xD

[Hayao]

@8231549 Show some respect for the Ozeki.

[rebelins313]

Really? I guarantee that Honda would beat your ass for free. Ross is a great player. Maybe you should be more like your idol Cobain...dead.

[VersatileBJN007]

^ Way to go out of your way to be a dick, sir.

[darnallt]

He was the runner-up to Gamestop's national tournament.

[geogaddia]

your mom wasn't very good

[howtoread]

That explains how he got to the gamestop finals then.

[l33tshoe]

I'd love to see Ross play a top tier character, Much respec to him for what he can do with Honda. The guy has skills.

[limitbreaking]

That was a good game. Gootecks makes me proud to be a Balrog player, lol.

[snipermalliki]

Ross is really good with honda but it seems that the sumo is xtra hard to play with. His specials are pretty much easy openers.

[digey]

Yeah he seems very under powered compared to the other top tier charge characters (Blanka & Balrog)...Less Mixups, No way to deal with Fireballs, No combos into ultras, and in general unsafe moves. Although he has a command grab, I don't think it makes up for it.

[bugcatcherbug]

I dont understand what they were thinking with Honda. Rogs EX moves have armor, Blankas EX move go right through fireballs, but Honda gets nothing...

[digey]

Plus Rog had turn punch, and his ultra/super can go through Fireballs, and Blanka has his jump. E. Honda, just had his slow ass Ultra.

[d3f1anc3]

You pretty much hit the nail on the head there, I main Honda, it isn't easy lol.

[twistedkatana1]

dude thats fuckin mike ross. he made it all the way to the finals of the gamestop tournament and fought justin wong. made it all the way with honda.

fuckin know your shit before you talk it.

[katsuranomaly]

Hahahahaa who are you again?

[xXNowashXx]

Cool.

[juangarcia2007]

[coolguy681]
