In a rematch, Mike Ross got the better of Texas' Adam Jewel, beating him at Southern Impact this past weekend. This could, perhaps if people are looking for straws to grasp on a Monday morning, start a debate between online vs. live tournaments. Jewelman had beaten Mike Ross in the second Evolution Online Tournament, winning the trip to Las Vegas as well as some other nice prizes.

Southern Impact didn't have the stakes of similar note, but it was a major event for the South nonetheless. It seemed like another close match was going to happen between the two, but Mike put Jewelman through a slow bleeding process. Stats of the match are on the Fighting Game Stats database.

Mike was 5 for 6 when getting the first hit and 4 for 4 when getting the first combo, both well above tournament averages.

Jewelman was only 1 for 4 when on game point. In those four rounds, EX usage was a big factor. His EX usage was .250 (4 for 16) compared to Mike, who was .688 (11 for 16).
