Tougeki 08 - Prof. Jones Full Report
Posted by DNA on Friday Aug 22, 2008 Under Super Battle OperaNot only did he come to the UK and win Battle of Destiny and then give his place up to r3ko to fly to the USA for Evolution 2008, read below how he tests his skills in the biggest ST tournament in the world Tougeki: Super Battle Opera ‘08.
The first day I went to akihabara in at the hey arcade. They had an ST cab which was very cheap (10 yens), and there was a few players. They weren’t very good for the most part, but I knew I wasn’t in the right place.
Few days later I went to mikado. To my surprise there was a free play event that night : you paid 500 yens and had the right to play for free from 19:30 to 22:00. Sounded like a very good deal to me so of course I went for it. At first there wasn’t a lot of players but I could see the level was high. There was this ken player who pounded me over and over. His execution was flawless (perfectly timed and spaced cross ups, no combos missed) and it felt that he knew everything I was going to do. When I would delay my scissor kicks, he would delay his dp’s too. Nobody ever did that to me before : it was either dp as soon as possible or nothing.
