i'm pretty sure this isn't alex valle. at that event, out of the 5 he battled, i think he only lost 1 match.

[Guoguodi]

Forgive me, it was Mike Watson. Valle used O.Sagat.

[sfturbo]

wow... that guile did a backbreaker air slam on ryu's light shoryuken twice... that's simply amazing!!!

[CCCPSoviet1917]

Honestly, to anyone he says Watson sucks or that their better, lets see how well you would do in a match against those japanese players? OR better yet, how well you would do against Watson.

@CCCPSoviet1917 Mike Watson sucks

[XxGonixXFAN]

4:34 - Mike did his old trick back in SF2 ! Aww man love that

[TheUpcomingTruth]

yea.... mike watson needed to retire... lol.

@reversetriangle You're absolutely correct. Tomo and Mike watson went 60-40 so we can say that Tomo may be slightly better but it allows us to guage tomos overall skill level. These guys were good back in the HF days but noone is better than the best of japan. If you wanna see a prime watson search mike watson vs jesse howard. the game is laughable. now compare that to muteki and kurahashi and tell me who is better. Sadly its mike continuing to play that exposes the tomo golden era myth

For those discrediting the Americans for their play in Japan in 2000, I'm pretty sure this was the tournament that was the American's first big experience playing on Japanese sticks. When Daigo had come to America in 98, they had an American set up for Valle and a Japanese stick for daigo. If this same USA vs Japan happened in American with only American sticks, the result quite easily may have been different. Again keeping in mind that American sticks were big back in 2000 in US, not Japanese.

[reversetriangle]

Tomo would of got raped as well. All of USA's best got raped, period.

It's obvious to anyone except a dumbass like yourself that Mike has good skills at the game. The fact that Watson lost does neither indicate that he sucks or USA sucks. It's only that his Japanese opponents had better skill or just played better in this case. Losing a game and sucking are not the same thing. Except maybe in your case. You probably are a loser and you do suck since you can't even tell the difference between the two.

Haha love the start of the second fight vs M.Bison where ryu is actually punching/kicking in time with the music. He has do be doing that by purpose 1.26-1.28

[jimmy8c7]

so basically the point of this video is to say that USA sucks or that Mike sucks, either way, its insulting to American. but then again, its hard to beat the creator of the games.

[KryptonianBaby]

Wow, the level of play is so much higher now. Not to say these guys aren't good, but today the game has changed so much.
