He wasn't wearing the tag this weekend, and he usually does when they fund him.

Pretty cringy whenever people ask JP tourament winners if the US is on Japan's level. Might as well rephrase it as "Hey you're in America please suck our dicks."
Kazunoko got two CEO belts! TWO!
And the only player that /r/kappa funded this trip was EX Pugera.
hehehehe

notice us senpai
He rarely list rkappa as his sponsor so I assume it's not always them sending him!
Also this was his first big tournament win in a long time and he finally qualified for CC...
Pretty apt.
I think he's started to become self-sufficient through prize money and asked them to send others out instead.
John Choi offered to send Kaz to any US premier event after the NCR mistake, I wonder if it was this one?

801Strider still looks crushed

PR Balrog being PR Balrog
Strider choked so hard he doesn't even have the medal facing the right way.
I was assuming this.
Pretty crazy finish. USA really helped Kazunoko out by eliminating all of his demons before they had a chance to meet him. Glad he was able to finally get his Capcom Cup spot.
Felt super bad for Strider though. You could see the anxiety in his face when grand finals started.

I meant singles. That was cool though. 1st place team I haven't heard of those players.
I wish EVO Japan could be a thing....

That was before the SCR fuckup though right? He might have changed his choice by then

idk why y'all getting on Mike so hard for that question. I think the reason he asked it was because of what Eduardo tweeted out a couple weeks ago about US in last behind Japan/Europe
SCR being one of the last events is valuable if Kazunoko still needed to qualify.

He should had referenced it then.

his frame is so tiny
Great play from kazunoko. Amazing that pr balrog got back to such a good form so quickly, he still is the best balrog in the world probably. Props to strider for being able to do so well against dive kick characters, fuck abel though, god i hate him.
Japan is still a level above everyone else overall because of their arcade scene but there are players in other countries that are the best in the world with their characters like Pr balrog, Smug, Louffy...
There is a good reason why in every sport playing at your home city or country is considered a big advantage. The crowd chearing for you a few feet away is a big boost especially for small sets and i think many people overlook that. Having to travel big distances also takes it's toll.

He asked two questions, and both were about the U.S. He didn't even asked how Kazunoko felt about winning CEO, lol.
I found the Dieminion entrance on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKAtfMhTcJ8

I think Rog would've given Kazunoka a better fight :/

It's compliment fishing. Kaz just won a tournament in America and is surrounded by hundreds of Americans, so of course he's gonna give a crowd pleasing answer when someone gets on stage and asks him how awesome America is.
Not like it's a huge deal or anything but it's pretty obnoxious and useless to ask that considering the environment.

rkappa did not send kaz to ceo. They sent pugera only iirc.
I think evo they are sending poongko, alex myer and pugera(?). not sure.

No, it was after it. I remember SCR specifically because we laughed about how he wont be sent to anything since SCR didn't even have a date at the time.
They're sending Poongko, Alex Myer, and KOG Kogi.
KOG Kogi is the unlikely winner of receiving both a NEOGAF and /r/kappa sponsorship, mostly because /r/kappa hates Neogaf, lol.
Didn't he get destroyed by Kazunoko earlier this year in a Canadian event (something like 1-7)? Perhaps it was the retiring Rog who didn't give a shit.

Man Justin has been trying and was going in hard in Ultra until mkx. It wasn't enough. He was good enough for top 8, but not enough to win.
No. He was only sent by kappa to Final Round. He's traveled to Europe, Asia, and US on his own money.

They asked Kazunoko what he thought about 801Strider and he said "Yaoi Strider??" hahah. 801 can be read as YA-O-I in Japanese.

Judging by the response of everyone here, I'd say that Mike Ross asked the perfect questions. Pushing buttons and evoking emotions. He's literally made a career out of it.
Also, I noticed the stream count pissing contests from yesterday and today pretty much stopped in their tracks once SF4 did its 85k thing. I guess stream numbers only matter to folks when it's NOT SF4...
