KOKUJIN RETURNS!??

[bobomber]

@kurisupanda Dudley is higher than Makoto on the more recent tier lists.

PIZZA JET PAAAAA!

[TheWolfWolford]

So my question is why did Kokujin pick SA1 vs Makoto? What makes SA1 a better selection in that match up?

[kurisupanda]

Kokujin = Pizza Beast.

He delivers pizza, the beast reference is probably because of his trash talk to daigo:

"This guy is so weak. Come out, whoever said this guy (daigo) is a god, I'm going to kill him." Then later, "You are really weak. People have habit of calling you god, god! More like you just run away! Game shouldn't be played like that!"

Dudley's 623+P is Jet Upper, the ex version has 4 invincibility frame, Kokujin uses it a lot, so Nuki and other calls the ex Pizza Jet Upper.

[PhantasmXD]

Definitely looked like Tokura gave up lol

[kurisupanda]

Rather than national coach dan matches, it's more like Nagoya players (kokujin, hirochan, yoiyami) versus Tokyo.

Nuki mentioned pierrot, the best remy, has promoted to 猛者(Man of valor) after beating 7 chuns.

Nuki is surprised for the lack of chun-li in coach dan (2nd highest dan) because the best chun (MOV, Nuki, Rikimaru) earned 智将(General) title already.

Kokujin became the first player in general dan not using top tier (chun, yun, makoto/ken).

[PhantasmXD]

Kokujin is fucking awesome.

These people have been on the same level for such a long time XD

@hismit It depends on the rank. Low Dan players only need 3 matches to get promoted, for example.
