    [​IMG]Spoiler Alert! A VFer wins the SSF4AE Championship at Evo 2011!

    VF fans all over are laying claim to a moral victory in Fuudo's excellent performance during the Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition Championship as he took 1st place at EVO 2011.

    When asked during interview at WCG 2009 what he thought the differences were between SF4 and VF5, he said:

    SF4 and VF5 requires a different mindset to play. It is important to understand and make use of all the set ups for SF4. Also, SF4 requires a lot of techniques to play effectively. Whereas VF requires a lot of yomi and how you can find other player's bad habits.

    Despite the differences, and whether or not his VFing background did help him get a read on his opponents, it's hard to deny his remarkable skill and clutch decision making during the AE finals. While many had not heard of Fuudo prior to EVO 2011, there's no doubt that they'd be taking him seriously from now on!

    Here are some links to get your Fuudo fix!

      This was the other quote I considered using for the news graphic. But seriously, you guys took your time in replying with the cheesey Lion quotes! [​IMG]

      Incidentally, fuudo switched to Shun in FS but let's not go there.

      A the description on YT says:
      "After the finals of Evo, CC Asia's Zhi caught up with 2011 Super Street Fighter 4 AE champion FUUDO in his room! In his native Japanese, Fuudo shares his thoughts about winning, drinking while winning, nerves, strategy, and more!"



      And if anyone is interested, here you will find photos from EVO.

      Great job for Fuudo on winning the AE EVO tournament. In a tournament with a lot of big name AE players such as Latiff, Daigo, Mago, Poongko, and Tokkido.

      Despite this win, base on comments I've seen from the SF community, Fuudo isn't getting the same recognition he deserves as a VF player that won a major SF tournament.

      In particular, this: "SF4 and VF5 requires a different mindset to play. It is important to understand and make use of all the set ups for SF4. Also, SF4 requires a lot of techniques to play effectively. Whereas VF requires a lot of yomi and how you can find other player’s bad habits."
