This is perhaps one of the more amazing stats I've seen in the Evolution 2011 tournament series. In the top four at Final Round XIV's Super Street Fighter IV tournament, eventual champion Eduardo "Puerto Rico Balrog" Perez had an EX connection percentage of .842.

PR Balrog was 48 for 57 whenever he used an EX meter. That is batshit crazy, especially since two of the three guys he faced have very good EX defense. If there is a "another side of the spectrum" debate, PR Balrog only used 57 of 123 possible EX meters available, a paltry .463 percentage.

There is always a reason why someone wins a tournament. That EX connection percentage is sticking out like eyeballs.

He also had six comebacks in matches played in the top four. The other three players had a combined three total.

Stats of the top four at Final Round XIV will be available later tonight on the Fighting Game Stats database.
