      yes respect, and the response to that is making a video saying how an american (a colonised land) is better then the people who created the franchise
      its like western mainstream media, always biased/racist to china/russia/iran, watch on THEIR news networks its just normal news, none of the biased narrative and hate

    joe is an interesting guy. very nice guy too. got to meet his father at ECT2024 this year too, he is very nice too. kinda made me cry a bit with what his father said to me about "how it's people like make that make events like these so great," just a very sweet and kind people.
    joe went absolutely hard on SFV when it came out, grinding out locals at the Arena (Rest in peace), the place I actually met him and we played Xrd Sign together just before he left for the night. Just a bunch of grinding with Diego, Marvisto, Bisonopolis and probably some other LI gang. Joe was always the type of guy to really get a good feel for games early in their life and this was his peak. At the Arena we did have a little picture frame of him with the title "L.I Joe: Real American Hero", american flag in the background and the typography and all.
    funny story is that back around novemeber 2017, I went to Next Level, it was a TSB event for kinda sorta release party for DBFZ. I went Marv and Brad (Bisonopolis) and Joe is mad he didn't break Breaker's Revenge for the cabs, there's a name for the main cabs they use for stuff like Alpha and Vsav but I don't know the name.
    Anyway, Joe comes by, brings Breaker's for the cabs and then he is just about to leave with Marv to go to Manhattan and then I get in the car somehow and we leave Brad behind. It's really funny since when we walked into the restaurant, literally all the workers were happy and said hi to Joe, it was insane, felt like i was with a goddamn celebrity. I texted Brad sorry about that and he said it was ok lol
    Also, i hate the way Joe drives.

Like how cool would it be for Guile to have a son who is hybrid charge/shoto character with flashy blonde hair, air force type outfit, and is a part of the "new generation" and is close friends with Luke. And then we could have a Ryu/Ken type of bromance with Luke and this new character.

      So you’ve missed the point of national rivalries entirely lol. No one dislikes the Japanese and this video praises every Japanese player. The topic is how an American player who no one thought could go far in the tournament actually do that and beat several high level Japanese players who have been the only ones dominating Street Fighter at that level. If someone keeps winning something, eventually they get people who want to see them lose, it’s just how competition works.

    You forgot to include the part where his bracket was full of nobodies, scrubs and easy victories just so that an American can get into top 8, which is the only way that’s possible. This dude is a fluke and the fact that he never got top 8 at any other tournament and resorts to commentary proves it. America will always stay free.
