Daigo V Justin FT10 17th October Ohio

Anyone else keeping an eye on this one?

I'm deadly curious to see how this one goes. :rolleyes:

The thread says it won't be streamed so hopefully people will film it for later uploading. Great viewing if they do though

I'd say Justin will be itching to get some kind of credibility back for himself being on home ground too! I was gonna make it a poll on who people think will win but what's the point ha!

Dreddybajs · 06-10-2009 12:04am

The dude has tons of credibility, he's pretty much universally recognised as the best fighting games player in the USA. :pac:

chopperbyrne · 06-10-2009 12:29am

Yeah I don't think he needs credibility.

He's rated highly by the Japanese too, just the way their tournaments work he has to have a partner, who brings him down.

He should just play with Daigo for SBO next year.

wow that would be strange....
daigo has a secret soft spot for j wong...:)

Ry · 06-10-2009 4:41am

Well yes he's got an incredible record in various games but I meant credibility against Daigo in particular.

Placebo · 06-10-2009 9:06am

i didnt think he was rated highly by the japenese?
he along with the rest of usa always got battered in sf3 in SBO.

LETS GO JUSTIN

He has become in recent years afaik. Daigo said to him after Evo that his Boxer was a million miles better than any Jap Boxer.

hmmm... Can that text be rephrased please?
And besides, I think Daigo has enough people lined up to play with him :P

Going back to the main topic, I'm 100% sure Daigo will win. Justin Wong is good but he isn't Daigo good

Let's go Justin? I hope you're just trying to be Altarnariative

Zapp Brannigan · 06-10-2009 1:13pm

Don't like Wong, so go Daigo.

Leprekaun · 06-10-2009 1:34pm

Yeah, Wong looks like an arrogant prick after watching him at the GameStop tournament when he was playing against some guy in a hoodie.

Finally someone mentions this. jwong is a dick, I've never seen a video of the guy where he doesn't seem like an a$$hat. He's undoubtedly a great player, but honestly, there is no humility, which Daigo does have imo!

chopperbyrne · 06-10-2009 1:48pm

Pissing off Marn is pretty funny though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c80io3SFXzk

He's actually not that bad. I've seen a lot interviews where he comes across as a sound guy. However he is now playing a part when he is on the big screen and he has chosen to be a heel. TBH he is the kind of player the community needs - loud mouth cocky players that build the hype.

Tbh, that's the way it is in America. They have hip hop jock in your face East V West thing going on, and they are like that to each other, but when they play people who aren't in their own community they're more respectful.

bush · 06-10-2009 2:05pm

Ye he comes accross a lot different in interviews.

Placebo · 06-10-2009 2:22pm

finally usa's caught up i would say give it more time but sure supers coming out.

Placebo · 06-10-2009 3:46pm

Lets go JUSTIN has a website?
http://jwonggg.com/

also he says he has a girlfriend but i say, PICS OR GTFO !

Zapp Brannigan · 06-10-2009 3:50pm

He does have a girlfriend, she's the asian girl you see near the arcade unit in most of the Chinatown vids.

Nah wong, is a complete knobend. Just look at the EVO final, he leapt up and celebrated after winning a round! Daigo shoulda pressed start and caught him unawares.

Also Leprekaun: Some guy? SOME GUY!? That's Mike Ross!

D4RK ONION · 06-10-2009 3:52pm

I doubt he'd lie about that. I think he gets into it a bit too much personally, like in Evo when he got up in the middle of his match with Daigo, that was pretty arrogant.

EDIT: Ninja'd on both my points!

Placebo · 06-10-2009 4:18pm

is she hot? or is that a stupid question
only realised hes on srk as Justin W

Zapp Brannigan · 06-10-2009 4:43pm

She's asian as well. Never gotten a good look at her though.

Wow, derailed.

FoamyMushroom · 06-10-2009 4:50pm

If wong picks Rog again... He could stand a pretty good chance.. Daigo knows his **** about Abel n Rufus :P

Daigo has sorta a website too..
http://beastdaigo.jp/

Ry · 06-10-2009 4:51pm

Ha! Well it seems Wong is using a lot more Boxer lately.

He did pretty well against Daigo at EVO '09 with him even though he lost, it did come down to the wire after many sets so I'd be surprised if he wasn't using him as his main when this event comes in a week or so.

Not really arrogance, more of "HOLY ****, I MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN THIS THING. US MIGHT NOT GET BEAT BY JAPAN AGAIN (and again and again and again). He was giving the audience what they wanted. If he did that with someone who was worse than him you could call him a prick, but the fact that he did it and all of the audience were going crazy for it is a compliment to how good Diago is.

1:03 into this.. Hes just been a complete dick head

Dreddybajs · 06-10-2009 5:36pm

Pretty sure he knows that guy pretty well, also that's how the arcade culture is in America.

Threads complaining about Justin Wong are the most boring things ever

Both times mentioned there , its Mike Ross wearing the hoodie. Indeed he knows him. But if I was up on stage like that and was playing one of my best mates and I beat him, there's no way in hell I'd do something like that to him in front of all those people.

Justin seems like a bit of a sap to me, I don't like him. But I will concede that that american attitude in general pisses me off. So maybe its just that. Still, I don't see mike ross or gootecks or others (that sagat player joe or whatever for example) acting like pricks just to raise 'hype' they seem to be able to do that with out getting in peoples face.

Its just a no brainier that its highly disrespectful to act like that in front of a crowd of people. Mike Ross doesn't looks all that pleased either.

Owwmykneecap · 06-10-2009 6:18pm

Justin is apparently fine in person.

Anyway this is the god tier of arseholes

Gootecks has always seemed to have a similar attitude to me. I've seen vids where he does the whole "in your face" celebration. Also in interviews at tourneys he seems to really arrogant.

That guy would have been knocked out if he tried that in the Expo.

Yep, Gootecks gets in your face.

I was gonna use the Mike Ross example... To all those saying this is the American arcade culture, can you explain why every American doesn't do it... It might be an American culture thing, but that doesn't make doing it ok. Plenty of people don't! He's a dick. imo.

Zapp Brannigan · 06-10-2009 8:10pm

Mike Ross laughed it off though, cos they're such good mates...

A lot of the top US players are douchebags, Wong, Marn (I would've knocked him out for the crotch grab at EVO), Sabin, you could probably include Gootecks but is he really a top player? :P

Placebo · 06-10-2009 9:02pm

whats gootecks buzz?
i think they like that cause its call casually?

and they know each other.

wong needs to sort his hair out

It does make it ok to do, in America. If they do it to any visiting players then I would agree with you. Even though not all of them do it, you don't have Mike Ross going off saying how much of a prick Wong is because he does do it.
