How old are top players?

[vieja escuela]

I'm not interested in their exact birthday but I'm trying to have a more precise reference frame about the various generations of players.

Therefore, if there are people who really know and can answer (no random guesses), please tell me the birth year of

American players
Schaeffer
Watson
Osaki
Tomo Ohira (where should I put him?)
Choi
Valle
Wong
Wolfe Bros
...

Japanese St players
Daigo
Kurahashi
Aniken
Mattsun
Muteki Guile
Kusumondo
Otochun
Komoda Blanka
Gian
Noguchi
...

Japanese Ts players
Ohnuki
Ko
Rx
Hayao
Kuroda
Kokujin
Nitto
Mov
Roshihikari
Boss
...

Obviously, if you have infos about other players don't hesitate to report them.

[Daigo Jr]

this is ganna be interesting.

no joke

[Red_venom]

Just in general 27-30. I think dudes who were older than that and big time SF2 tourney players probably didnt know where fighting games were going in the mid 90s and quit or got really casual.

[Dark Geese]

What about top players in other games? Justin Wong is 21 BTW for what I know. Arturo is 24 (Sabin) SNK side of things I am 25, Ultimate Faust is I believe 19, SieClayton is 28, I dont know some others..

[G.O.T]

who is the oldest sf player--that is still playing?

[DS]

That's a toss-up between Seth Killian(he's still rockin' that ST), Alex Valle(30), and Jason Cole(32). There are probably more, but I can't recall them at the moment.

Also, Hail and Kill would be the youngest CvS2 top player that I know of. Dude's only 16.

[masher]

old enough to be a smash bro player father...

:confused:

[Vidness]

Oh, I'm 37.

lol @ Jason cole and H&K. Damn I wonder how much longer Cole will play ST:rofl:. And H&K sounds like a prodigy.

Vidness: Are u really 37, seriously?

[Hyperhal]

I'm 17

[Tiger Knee]

If Tomo Ohira was 17 in 1993, then that would make him around 31 in 2007, depending on what month he was born in.

[Shodokan123]

you forgot alot of american players IMO

pyro
amir
etc...

[Rojo]

I think alot of the old school ST players are in their 30's. Whats next, asking about their annual income? razzy:

SRK did that already. :looney:

[Rojo]

SRK did that already. :looney:

Lol. Whats next, asking for their social security numbers. :wink:

I think this type of thread has already been done, like twice. Wonder what that search thingy does?

[Grits'N'Gravy]

I think that Daigo is like 25 or 26. He looks hella young when he played Valle in A3.

All the Cali OGs you listed are like 30-35.

I would say the top players in newer games are 20-25 for a good range. The influx of players seemed to happen real big in 92-94 (obviously) and then started up again when CVS1 and Marvel came out (and now with the big popularity of 3s)... so a lot of guys under 20 in 99-2000 are probably around those age ranges.

[goodm0urning]

I think that Daigo is like 25 or 26. He looks hella young when he played Valle in A3.You're probably low-balling it a little. I don't know for sure, but I would guess Daigo is in his late 20s. Yeah, he looked like a kid in 1998, but Japanese guys tend to.

[woof]

youre all fucking old

[unledded]

SRK did that already. :looney:

Link?

[Saotome Kaneda]

I'm 17
you're not a top player

[DVD:madZ]

[Zaelar]

I'm 24.

I'm a top player in games you've never heard of!

[hanz0]

well am 26 :looney::rofl::wgrin:

[Radical Dreamer]

Pretty sure Daigo is 25.

[Stabby]

I thought Daigo was still in his early 20s? Tokido/Ohnuki should be around there too.

[goodm0urning]

I thought Daigo was still in his early 20s? Tokido/Ohnuki should be around there too.That would put Daigo at about age 12 during Daigo vs. Alex 1998.

[EveryFlowerFlow]

Mr.D44 is 28

[Henaki]

most top gg players are under 24, if not all. in america.

[Vidness]

lol @ Jason cole and H&K. Damn I wonder how much longer Cole will play ST:rofl:. And H&K sounds like a prodigy.

Vidness: Are u really 37, seriously?

Seriously...38 by the end of the year.

<-- OOOOLD skewl...

[JustinW]

haha im like 28 and i got a kid coming

[DS]

That would put Daigo at about age 12 during Daigo vs. Alex 1998.

Daigo was in his second year of high school, I believe. So, that puts him at 25. He's not THAT old.

[Oroman]

Seriously...38 by the end of the year.

<-- OOOOLD skewl...

Damn dude :wtf:!!!

[Tigerboi]

[Robust]

[YuuFone]

Daigo was in his second year of high school, I believe. So, that puts him at 25. He's not THAT old.

Aniken and Otochun seem really old

[{PFH}-Lake]

Pretty much all marvel players are 20 - 24.

[Viscant]

I'm 27. I am however not a top player so I shouldn't have been mentioned. Ricky is 23.

My favorite part of this thread is that my rumor that Buktooth is in his 40s is still going strong. Good times.

Tomo has Alzheimer's.

[Hail And Kill]

"Someday" means "never" or "ridiculously unlikely but will still hope because he feels like a loser".

[SuicidalGrandpa]

I would guess, but am probably wrong, that Smash has the youngest following.
