-Alban "Gakousei/ADM" [France top A-groover]
-David "Lorddvd"

Switzerland:

Jimmy* "V-Ryu"
[he is one of the first European player who could "paint the fence" with Bison competitively at the begining of the game's life and could use RC as well. Can be considered as retired now thought.]

Germany:

Tsunami
Demulant
[apparent to be Germany's top A-groove players. they have entered several French tournaments and did well at Absolution too]


* = retired or most likely retired since im listing players from very old footage.

[ZenFire]

Nitpicking: Version also played Maki a while, even at SBO.

Also there's Bari that played K zangief, geese, rolento (among others I'm sure) and Jiji who was in the ace amusement tournament and he also used to/does play A-King. In the same tournament there was Goonta who played C Chun r2 King Mai. Again same tournament, Chikokuma p groove sakura cammy blanka.

[scrubydan]

so many good players retired, this game is starting to lose its spirit

[popoblo]

blasphemy, cvs2 will never die.

[ZenFire]

I'm gonna be an old shit playing this game til waaaay past its death, as long as there is one person for me to play against.

[CMX]

Look at HSF2 that shit is probably the oldest game that is still in EVO, not like CvS2 can't be the same... Although I hope CvS2 never dies out of EVO.

[HoneyBBQGrundle]

N groove- Nakasone (Ryu/Ken/Sagat)

Came in 2nd to Nuki in the OLD (early '02?) Japanese nationals.

N groove- Liquid Metal (Ryu/Sagat/Blanka)

Old school lol.

[FullMetalRoss]

Lets see

In N-groove, I've seen Ogawa
I believe it's iori,ken,r2sagat

In C-groove I got chari
Random teams but usally with vice and sagat.

you can represent america, I'll be on the sidelines watching as I play in the casuals.

[supermin]

omar still plays

BUMP

[Vega_Red]

Other European players who I think belong on that list are Tsunami, Demulant (both from Germany) and Ultima (Austria). I'm pretty sure there are also some more French players who are on par with them, but it would be nice to have some non-French players on the list too. V-Ryu (Switzerland) was also one of the best players in Europe I think, but I don't know if he's still playing.

[supermin]

this thread along with that best of <character> one needs vids

[No defence]

I updated, should i keep it going?

What about Joe....... P/k kyo sagat cammy. Beast Joe?/ Otar23

second place at sBo?

I can list them. I would prefer tho if i had their names also, some of their accomplishments would help too. It's mostly french right now because they are the ones im most familiar with.

which SBO did this happen at?

No problem, Good luck Zen.

[Guardbreaker]

Some help with european players :

France :

-Eric "ERK" k groove player, use to be top 3 player from France.Did well on Absolution vs Ino and Daigo on casual.

-Johan "Metisse93or" k groove player.Probably on the top 10 in France.He lost to BAS at Absolution.He defeated Yamazaki93 in two french tournaments.

-Keneth "Ik Rugal" C groove player from Lyon he was the 3rd member of the french team in the last year's Kage Tougeki in Tokyo.

-Max "Cyberguile", brother of Ik Rugal, he lost at Absolution to Ino.

-Fabrice "Zouli" C groove player who was the owner of the "french cvs2 training center" in the past :lol:
He lost to BAS at Absolution and he was 2nd and 3rd of two of the cvs2 tournament in Cannes.


Switzerland :

Jimmy "V-Ryu" A groove.He deserves to be on the list even if he is not really a cvs2 player,he is one of the first european player who could make the "bison's paint the fence" at the begining of the game and could use RC well.Can be considered as retired now thought.

U.K :
Why Ryan heart is on this list ? He plays Tekken and 3rd strike,　not cvs2.
He entered some cvs2 tournament but he surely doesn't deserve to be on this list.

Germany :
Tsunami and Demulant, both A groove players.They entered french tournaments and did well at Absolution too.


Otherwise, about Joe, it was not tougeki of course, it was a japanese team tournament of last year, maybe Arice, just after kage tougeki.
He was 3rd on a Acho recent tournament as well ( 2 on 2 team with nakanishi ).

For Japan :
There is a lot of very good players who are not on the list, i will give more name later but at least I want to mention AO, kgroove-Ryu kyo Sagat.
Some vids of him from popy.
He is one of the japanese k groove beast.

I think i confused Ryan Heart with Jimmy "V-ryu" but i know whoever it was I saw retired from cvs2. I will go ahead and change that soon as well add the others, thanks for the help and if you know any others dont hesitate to post.

[ramza]

What about Joe....... P/k kyo sagat cammy. Beast Joe?/ Otar23

second place at sBo?

hey smithers, does mr. burns love you yet?:wonder:

[Vega_Red]

Germany :
Tsunami and Demulant, both A groove players.They entered french tournaments and did well at Absolution too.

They did pretty well the last time they entered a French CvS2 tournament, I think it was WCG in the end of 2k5, Tsunami got 5th place (lost to IK Rugal I think), Demulant got 3rd place (lost to ADM in the semi finals, beat IK Rugal in the match for 3rd place). They also took the top spots in pretty much every tournament in Germany in the last 3 years, I think Demulant won every tournament since 2004 when he beat Chun_li1 except the one in Stuttgart last year which was won by Tsunami (who I think never placed outside of the top 3 - most times 2nd place - in any of the German tournaments in the last 4 or 5 years).

Ultima is by far the best Austrian player, he's an a-groove player and on the same level as Tsunami and Demulant. He got 2nd place at the Hamburg tournament in 2005 (beat Tsunami, lost to Demulant) and last month he won a tournament in Greece (according to him the best player there is Snake, p-groove, I think he participated in a French tourney last year).

[laugh]

WTF. WCG had cvs2 as one of the games at some point? They would've had a Korean quals for that if it did, but I don't recall having one. There was DOA one year though.

Are the euros planning on coming to evo this year?

[Vega_Red]

I think the French had additional Fighting Game tournaments at the WCG qualifier events, but those tournaments were not really part of WCG itself (don't know any details because I was never there myself).

[Havoc]

hey smithers, does mr. burns love you yet?:wonder:

Hate?

[Goten]

I'm surprised Eric Lee - Leezy isn't on the Cali list

Why so serious?
I made this thread out of boredom and haven't updated it in a long time. Im not perfect enough to remember every player that exists. Theres obviously many more that have been left out but since im not interested in doing this anymore its going to stay like that unless someone else wants to do it for me. I got a solution tho, since pretty much everybody knows the ranks here in the USA im going to get rid of that part. Good luck at Evo.
