I can proudly say, I have lost to mike ross. He used that same combo, handslap handslap super. I did win a round against him though! Blanka vs Honda. This is his best comeback.
It's not about being a fanboy or w/e, but we just saw it when marn and wong went to japan and got eliminated at the first round of a nakano trf tournament.
I agree I don't think we should crap on the US Pros, but comparing them to Daigo and Nakano isn't fair to Daigo either. This is the arena the japanese gamers rule in. I give them props and look to their skill as the top. Just as if this was Halo or something like that I might look toward an American player.
Look at the results of SBO in Tokyo, Valle/Combofiend, JWong/Marn
eliminated first round
I'm not saying I hold a candle to any of the top US players, but it is Japan's game, they run it. We'll see in a few years if US adapts, since Japan did have a head start.
Been following most AI matches, especially love ones with the BG noise and atmosphere of the Arcade. As said in other clips, I always love seeing Guile & Honda players do well as they just don't seem to be played all that much, hence I tend to enjoy Mikes fights - And what an ending!
yes it was a good combo but there is no need for the dick sucking.whether its daigo or mike ross dick sucking is dick sucking and it must stop.APPRECIATE the match for what it is but leave it at that.
This match is now part one of the few defining moments in clutch gaming, or at least it damn well better be. Believe in the intensity, believe in the mindgames, believe in comebacks from outta nowhere, BELIEVE
mike ross aside, as a balrog player keno in round 1 against haunts is fucking inspiring as hell. i've never seen such a ridiculous rushdown with him before. incredible
to the yuna person. its so easy to say, "oh why didn't he just do that," but when we're in the situation we can't do better than these guys. especially me I have the shittiest execution
To all the haters on the thread talking about the skills of these fine players, STFU! talking is easy. A bunch of you probably play online and have not attempted to play at an arcade let alone a tournament, especially one that carries the weight of qualifying for SBO. Thats why online is whack, while it is good practice that feeling of venue and the person your facing can not be replicated through Xbox live or PSN. So to the the trolls, keep talking cause that's all you'll ever be good at.
I'm almost positive Ross buffered the ultra in anticipation of a tiger shot rather than had inhuman reaction time. He whiffs the ultra in the first round against Sagat in a very similar situation, except in that case, he had an itchy trigger finger and pressed the buttons too quickly. You can see that Sagat ducks right before the ultra, possibly to bait something from Ross (like an ultra).
Whoever gave me thumbs down, watch the video, and this time pay attention. He buffered the ultra. Nobody can respond to point blank tiger shots in 0.2 seconds.
I'm not trying to take away from Ross's win, either. I was rooting for Mike the whole time. He buffered that ultra, though.
well yeah.. why not buffer an ultra? if you're low on health and you think your opponent's gonna slip up, you're better off buffering something that does massive damage than pussy out by jumping over a fireball where there wouldn't be any hope of a comeback and not taking the high-reward risk. A lot of people use their ears to help them play also. sagat yells for every tiger shot, which enough of an indicator to respond appropriately.
I wasn't saying it was a bad thing. I was just responding to those who insisted he did the ultra on reaction. He'd have to be a computer to have
1. Seen the (ex) tiger shot
2. Thought fast enough to think to do ultra
3. Do the full ultra motion
But yeah, definitely a sick comeback. Like I said earlier, I never gave up hope on Ross. He just needs to keep his head in the game so he can pull more of this shit off. Seems like he starts doubting himself sometimes.
I say at the least, he buffered the charge, because F B F isn't that hard to do fast. Also he was putting sumo splash/headbutt pressure on Sagat, so he's got his charge ability well developed.
Also the ultra was on reaction, just with a bit of foresight.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Terrible grammar and spelling aside, I agree with the comment below. There were much more impressive fights at that Gamestop Tournament then here. Ross's E. Honda was much better at that tournament. I'm not quite sure what they were trying to do here, but I wasn't impressed...
It was mostly due to the pressure of qualifying for SBO... only 1 team can go, and 31 entered. theres a lot of pressure. and mike was the release man for his team, when his teammate losses it all on him
k; if these dudes are THAT good... why are there 2 glaringly obvous scrub mistakes in the first fight? i was amazed to see Sagat tiger from the strat without moving back, and then he supered in the final round when he could have used the ultra which would have killed Rog. Seriously.. wtf?
maybe he tigered BECAUSE it wouldn't be expected at high level play. or to train rog to jump at the start, since he punishes him in round 3 for it. or because people make mistakes in tournaments, like when he missed a button and got a super instead of an ultra.
right, so missing a button (that is, doing the super motion but only hitting 1 or 2 of the buttons) will cause a super to come out instead of an ultra. i know how to play.
Oh look, another "these guys are scrubs" comment from a UK player, what else is new?. Let's see your videos so we can point out your mistakes. Or let's see vids of the European qualifiers for SBO for SF 4. Oh wait, the european qualifiers were won by two americans! LMAO.
1) pressing 3 buttons at 'the exact same time' aint exactly difficault.
2) to the guy who said he conditioned rog to jump so he could punish later. Since when is one jump reversal worth as much as a a jump-in, which can lead to a counter, as well as putting rog where he wants to be?
3) learn to read. I never said they were scrubs. I said they made 'scrub mistakes'...
4) Alex Valle used a damn EX SRk after a LVL2 FA. Clearly, that's dumb.
