SF4 US National Championships Finals Justin Wong (RU) vs. Mike Ross(EH)

[@BiGShell]

It's good to see Justin and his homeboy play at a big tourney such as this. they showed each other at the end. kudos to that

[@chris0419]

@LilTreFlipG A fight stick is standard for every tournament. Its not difficult to switch between ps3 controllers to xbox controller but it still a difference and one might not do their combos input correctly. A FS will make everything easier and help solve this problem

[@BanditPolizzi]

Wow seeing how jwong acted in this match it makes it all the sweeter watching him get smoked by Daigo =D

[@gamer4lifeJLM]

man im with you on this

[@RoC1909]

It's not the fact that people are taking it personally. It's just the fact that there is a complete difference between being cocky and being a good sport. Shaking a persons hand after you get all in their face isn't having good sportsmanship. That's just going through the motions and you heard the crowd get after him.

[@XtremePower16]

I love the way how Justin Wong goes to Mike Ross face when he wins the first and second round.

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

I don't know whats going through Wongs head, but he did shake hands and man hug after the match, he can't be all mad. I think hes trying to bring that element of banter to the games.

[@Snooltish]

i love how he goes up to mike after he wins the first round like: yeah!! wattup biatch! XD

[@reploidv]

you people need to understand that this is extremely COMPETITIVE gaming and what jwong was doing is all apart of a good show for the audience

[@Nadrojsleek]

I really wanted Mike Ross to win, going that far with a character like E Honda has merit in itself. To go that far with a character so low tier and with so many weaknesses, Ross gets props from me.

[@blkpanda665]

Wong brings so much hype to the table. I agree he could learn to chill maybe a little bit. But it's not like Mike Ross is a complete stranger to him. I love gootecks in the background "WEST COASTT, WEST COAST".

[@Inverified]

Mike Ross and Justin have history together. It's basically a rule that Justin is supposed to say something to Mike after he wins a match.

[@Sophomorechance]

yeah and if you watch the documentary IGOTNEXT you see them hanging out loads.

[@Piisuke]

In this game, yes. I meant in the games they have played before, such as Street Fighter III =).

[@chris0419]

@LilTreFlipG Well Most people believe that you shouldnt play on the pad anyway because your at a disadvantage against people who use stick because they have more mobility and have a larger access to the buttons (four fingers instead of a thumb and Index finger)

[@liftedresearch]

Whoa whoa, really now, nothing wrong with getting hype, especially since he DID just win a nationwide championship. Ross and Wong know each other, it's not a big deal, really.

[@kharion]

well.. they are friends. they are just having fun like they do all the time..

[@ComeOnBunny]

Those taunts made by Justin were fine, also Justin and Mike know each other it's not like they are complete strangers.

[@pr0n3]

I think the reason why people hate on Justin is that he's not exactly the classiest winner out there. I don't blame the guy though, because when SFIV is your life you tend to get carried away in the major winnings. For those who hate on Justin, he'll be a virgin for life...isnt that punishment enough. Justin, you are my SFIV hero.

[@Gamer4lyfe00]

Yall stop hating on J. Wong! The man has skills!

[@lmNotReal]

no they're good friends, they've played eachother hundreds of time justin was joking with him, I've met justin wong he's pretty docile

[@g1370]

Notice Daigo didn't shit a brick when he WTFPWNED jwong. Hahaha classic.

[@pen15l4nd]

@supermariofan546 Wait.. Then why was Justin here and not daigo?

[@GGinoboyz]

@Allistar123 ohh ok so i was wrong , it's just that mike ross didnt even act like he knew justin in this video

[@johnny-mnemonic13]

can someone please tell me how diago didn't show up in finals. didn't he not lose all fights and didn;t he owned justin? am i missing videos, if so who did daigo lost against? By the way, jutin has changed a lot since i played him from ny nyclan tourney 2 years ago. He wasn't that cocky back then, must have happened overnight or something

[@coolguy681]

Like i understand that Justin Wong is trying to prove something. He is the best SFIV player in the U.S. But Mike Ross is a classy guy, and respects his opponents

[@Pepecooks]

@pen15l4nd i think cause it was a us tourny i think o.o, and diago didnt enter. lol

[@Darkkefka]

@gaara1227 They are friends.

[@TopTechTrendsX]

They shook hands in the end and respected each other as equals, the end. I dont think Justin should of been in his grill like that but we dont know what was said between the two prior to the match. As long as they shook at the end, its cool.

[@generalx1984]

i enjoyed watching him play daigo after this vid, big time

[@FIxt00l]

I expected more from Rufus...Why didn`he continue the combo on several occasions, after Messiah kick?! He could do at least Snake strike, or even an Ultra combo finish...The Honda guy just could not chill after the first loss, I think he did not play at his best shape, and I believe he`s a much better player than he looks like.If only I could fight any of those two guys, it would be even better and more fun!Kudos to the uploader for his work.

[@Zallious]

He was just having fun with his friend

[@Itsallover57]

none of you that hate on justin seem to think. he always shakes the dudes hand after the match. during the match hes not his friend, hes literally trying to beat the shit out of him. you guys need to quit taking it so damn personal.

[@dragonsofeden]

again? Daigo never played Wong in a final until yesterday.

[@dragonsofeden]

That was a semi-final match.

[@Evilj82]

Correction: They've never played before in the finals.

[@R7Nite]

Jwong's not that much of an asshole. It's all in fun. He shook his hand and gave him a hug at the end. Lighten up people.

[@qwasd0r]

You should've seen him in the EVO09 final. Good thing he got facepwnt by Daigo.

[@chipieb0i107]

they're both friends.i think. i personallly think taunting changes the game and makes it more exciting. i play sf4 at home with my buddies and the shit talking(to a certain extent) is quite entertaining.

[@OliHouse]

que escenario tan chingón :O!!!!!!

[@EliverLing]

Would you be interested in playing Mike Ross for money sometime then? It can be arranged

[@Noremac88]

@enervated not really people don't have to only use shotos to be good

[@d3f1anc3]

Do I hear Gootecks yelling in the background? lmao

[@BigBeansBalli]

haha. why dont they fight afterward?

[@danielpivaa]

I don't get it. If Daigo won against Justin, how coud Justin be the Champion?

[@jendres28]

the video says "US national championships". This isn't evo.

[@MxSpikeSpiegelxM]

Talking trash also gets into the head of the other player. If someone is yelling at you while you are doing bad, it's going to get to you and your confidence is going to go down along with your skill. I still agree with your post.

[@jamesragudo]

I havent seen any vids of Mike Ross so I can't say anything about him and how he uses him. BUT from what i see, he didnt really play him as aggresively as he should of. Justin Wong is great but when you give him too much time to think he has a plan ready and will win. you can pull off combos with E.Honda thats one reason why he lost. and yeah staying back wasnt a good idea he needed to get closer and use that judo chop

[@PUMaJiggle]

could be fucking with his mind when he does it

[@DBoy00]

Mike Ross probably deserved it. Justin Wong likes to win and is cocky sometimes but he doesn't go do that shit unless Ross started something first. Jwong's a nice guy.

[@Evilj82]

What if he was from Canada?

[@jeebazz]

ross and wong are buddies though. Its all in fun

[@Brine49]

am i the only one who finds jwon hilarious

[@bl1ndr]

lmfao i love how justin gets in his face

[@redmage8719]

Justin should be careful who he does that to. It might not end well for him if he isn't.

[@redmage8719]

@@bl1ndr that doesn't matter.

[@fadecy]

Dude, they're friends, he was messing with him.

[@ElWeyChingon]

are they using sticks??

[@roggy12345]

There is nothing wrong with what Justin did, he only did it to win, mind games its called and its not against the rules. As long as he didn't say something like "your moms a ho" or sticking obscene signs at him then its all good. Sometimes if you wanna win, u gotta be ruthless, the good guys come last.

[@KabaL1729]

i heard gootecks, "let's go west coast!"

[@ubercraz007]

Jwong wasn't talking shit when diago stomped him. :D

[@Maljey]

wtf was Justin up in his face for? They got some type of rivalry?

[@Masternin15]

All we know Mike Ross could've been laughing as a joke between buddies.

[@azngamer16]

Definitely man. Taunting your opponent, especially face-to-face, will make them lose focus. But also, it depends on how the other person takes shit-talking. I understand what you are saying with your friends, cause my friends and I do the same thing. However, there is always one friend in a group, including mine, that takes it way too seriously and gets pissed off when we are all just messing around. Personally, if I were competing and someone got in my face, I would punch them.

[@raxzar]

Why isnt valle playing?

[@moonmasterShake]

IT'S OVER 900!!!!!

[@MarchPets]

props to mike for using honda

[@Druznak]

WTF why is Justin WOng in the finals? i just saw getting his ass whooped by Daigo on the last vid

[@jeremycarrier]

When you're one of the kings of fighting games like JWong, you can talk shit.

[@static240]

I definetly agree with you their

[@strider2k2]

Good effort by Mike Ross. I'm a huge Justin Wong fan and all, but dude needs to get a haircut. : ) Justin is actually a very humble dude in real life. The hype you see here is just for show. He definitely learned this behavior from his friends.

[@JokerSmilez2]

@gaara1227 Uh...look at 5:04...they're friends. It's friendly trash talk.

[@Hoeboe2k]

First of all, they probably know each other somewhat. And it was probably just friendly trash cause in the end, it didn't stop them at the end from embracing. You guys need to simmer down

[@bigchickenda9th]

it's rufus an overpowered character i always here people saying that

[@two2tone]

J Wong is the 'truth'

[@Archedgar]

Daigo was eliminated early in this tournament. Justin actually eliminated the guy who beat Daigo, and went on to win in the finals(this video). The video that shows Daigo vs. Justin was an exhibition video. Justin probably wasn't taking it seriously since it didn't mean anything, tournament wise.

[@Evilj82]

I disagree. First off E honda is not a combo character. Secondly do you really want to jump in at rufus and against justin wong with and eat an ex snake strike for 30% damage everytime. Lastly, yes this is the Finals. Mike Ross won 1 and 2 in california, took a flight to georgia for round 3 and won, and placed 5th the same day in an sf iv tournament with 240 entrants.

[@moonmasterShake]

omg im fabulous!

[@BanditPolizzi]

Not at all.... he's fighting a Rufus, one of the best inside fighters in the game. E.Honda has 0 to no combo game that would get him anything more than an ex messiah kick to the face against Rufus. He did the right thing by staying back and playing defensively.

[@zaelie]

justin got goth girls up in that shit

[@Archedgar]

UH OH, UH OH!!!! JUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN WONG. OH MY GOD. OHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD(Head explodes).

[@chris0419]

There buds guys.., chill out

[@mxtra22]

Shot at a Street Fighter tournament?? I highly doubt anyone there is that hard lol

[@Haxzilog]

ooooh now i see why bad comments for justin at 1:04 it all started

[@Allistar123]

@EmbodiedArgosax they are friends. i am pretty sure you have gloated about beating your friends at something in your life. this is all that it is but justin haters of course will just make a big deal out of it not understanding the situation, but yea he probably would not do that to other people that are not close to him and he hasn't. the "worst" he does is pump the crowd after he wins a round but that can hardly be considered bad but again justin haters will make big deal about it.

[@diell83]

wow Wong is a real jeark

[@gamerookie09]

@boredstudent / So that doesn't mean anything.

[@arla61]

The game itself has a command to taunt. Personally, I'm more reserved and won't celebrate if I win a tournament, but I won't get angry at someone else who does if they beat me. As long as he's not insulting his opponent mid-match, it should be fine. I think they're friends anyway so it's their business.

[@Piisuke]

Daigo beated him in the finals... again =).

[@shabadoosa]

Not much even the best Hondas can do against a good Rufus.

[@jjws]

justin wong is just overcompensating because everyone knows him as 'that chun li that daigo owned'

[@jrsharifi]

THIS IS MAHVEL BAYBEE!!!

[@Tech7VoCarl]

wow mike ross is the nicest guy in the street fighter community why would you disrespect him like that.

[@Evilj82]

@xtstonex, Homie, did I say anything about trash talking being wrong like anywhere in my original comment? Please learn to read before you make assumptions.

[@oghowie]

i assume they're friends or Justin would have got his ass beat afterward.

[@kyske]

see mvc2

[@Evilj82]

What's funny about this video is that mike is black and he's from LA where most of the good player base is asian, whereas justin is asian american from NY where I assume most of the good player base is black. Mike is the respectful one whereas justin is the hype in your face type one. Clearly, it's not a race thing but a coast thing. Justin is acting like the typical new yorker.

[@Moe598]

@AsgardianMight nope

[@mxtra22]

A good raping always silences the trash talkers..

[@jenghiz]

On the big screen in the beginning Justin looked like an Ewok.

[@Groundeyes]

woa what was that. people shouldnt do that at all even if you completely thrashed someone. i know that players get anxious and eventually angry when they lose but damn there is no need for that. I remember seeing that shit on local arcades but keep it out of tournaments man.

[@yoshikawatsukune]

Don't provoke it outside a game.
