@ikillbutterflies

You could just throw up an annotation or something as a quick correction.

Great job on the interview BTW. We're all really interested in the scene in Japan, so this video is REALLY entertaining.

[ikillbutterflies]

You'll notice that's already been done. Haha.

@HopeEstheimXIII Maybe in a million years.

[HopeEstheimXIII]

I'd blow the shit outta uryo

[TheGosu]

That uryo is an inspiration to me. As Joe was an inspiration to him.

Shit now I must go through 500 games winning 20% of them.

I'm at about 100 games now.

More videos of URYO's c.viper please!

Kuni looks pretty old, he still kicks ass at ST with Gief

[rmnhn]

@P1tchBlack NO WAY... is that even legal OUTSIDE japan?

[rmnhn]

dammit, you guys are making me hungry. and i just had my dinner! lol...

[rmnhn]

@ninjachipzanuff he was THE original viper player. he basically invented the viper metagame which everyone's now familiar with (the blaze kick cross-ups, the cancellation-based pressures and mix-ups, the super jump cancel trick, her bread and butter combos including the FFF-based combos and all that)

[ninjachipzanuff]

who is the viper player named Joe that they were talking about?

[floranettez]

I beleive that TKD (arcade) and cdborrego (xbox) are the best ELFuerte players... I don't know if there is any good on psn?
