Probably the stat of the month thanks to Filipino Champ

Written by Glenn | 19 August 2011

With apologies to Ryan "Filipino Champ" Ramirez (pictured, center), I AM going to talk about his EX usage, ha ha.

The reason I am is because it is the most amazing stat I will mention this month. Yes, we still have more than 10 days remaining, but it is that good.

Quick notes and video from the third SBO qualifying tournament

Written by Glenn | 14 August 2011

Remember how Latif was so crucial to his team in the first Super Battle Opera qualifying tournament? In the Top 8, he stepped in everytime trailing 1-0 and won every game for he and Mr. SNK.

It was a similar situation for 801 Strider during last night's third Super Battle Opera qualifying tournament. In the second championship match, he did not lose a round when his opponents — John Choi and Hsien Chang — both were on tournament point. In those four rounds, he outcomboed both guys 16-4.

There seems to be a theme with this year's qualifying tournaments, and it's perseverence. Whether that'll help the teams as they go to Japan for next month's event (Latif and Mr. SNK will be replaced) remains to be seen.

Live version of the Brawl theme

Written by Glenn | 27 July 2011

My favorite version of the Brawl theme is the choir version, even though I have no idea what they're saying.

The Video Game Music Choir held its spring 2011 concert and did the theme live. This is amazing. Credit goes to Adande "sWooZie" Thorne for finding this.

Interview with Armada at Genesis 2

Written by Glenn | 19 July 2011

Armada won the championship that eluded him a couple years ago, prevailing over Mango to win the Genesis 2 Melee title. I talked to him about his win as well as the match before where he faced Hungrybox and decided to use Young Link.

The audio might be somewhat bad because the interview got cut off and several announcements were being made at the same time. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.
