That would be the best place to see who is really the best outside of Japan … outside of the top 4 or so who will probably be Japanese though heh …
Anyways, Evo should at least measure the US best, cause you see alot of guys come out who aren’t in weekly scene vids guys like Hung Bee (Oro) and Alex Valle getting really far.
i think you talk of kai yang/ryu player…
is hard for example
i am a chilean player and the most of people of us and japan never fight against me (maybe i win maybe i lost) …i have a some vids of the last tournamet of chile (i am the necro player) but
this is a vid …tournament play is hard and some people are sooo stupid when see vids …
i think the only way …is fight a match between top players of each country … i can tell this …you get a big surprise if fight against chilean top players
A lot of international players do get to fight it out at SBO and EVO, but yes - a dream tournament (apart from SBO) would be all the top players in one place at the same time.
If only I was rich enough - I’d sponsor every single one to come stay in London for a week and fight it out :sad: Not that it would cost that much - but by the time I do have enough I probably wont be interested in 3s anymore…
I remember there being a thread a while back that was “who is the best at each character?” Who do you guys think is the best at each character outside of Japan?
There is a rumour that at SBO this year, there will be a tournament for all of the non-Japanese teams to see which of the non-Japanese teams is the best. It will be on stage and everything, or so I have heard.
In no particular order IMO the best non Japanese players are:
US
Pyro
VictoLy
Justin Wong
Frankie 3S
5tar
Amir
Valle
KO Fiend
Mopreme
Hsien Chang
Europe
Mymoza
Billy Kane
Ryan Hart
Sean
Raju
Pecheur
Hong Kong
Carmen
Onion
Hong (I believe he is originally from HK)
Aus
Kenchu
Paul T
TSC
Cody
Canada
Ack
C Royd
As for which region is the best after Japan, most would sya the US (espeically the FFA players), but I think the Australians and maybe the Canadians are right up there with them.
Plans are underway for this during this years SBO period. Hopefully some details can be released in the coming weeks once things get a bit more finalised.
