« TETRA INTERVIEWS CHOCO BLANKA & GAMA NO ABURA »
haunts;)
Tetra put together a great interview with both Choco-Blanka and Gama no Abura. If you're not familiar with these two, Choco Blanka is a great Blanka player and the best female SF4 player in Japan, famed for defeating Mago last year. Gama no Abura is responsible for organizing tournaments such as the Nagoya Street Battle and the legendary GODSGARDEN event.
Below you can view the famous Choco Blanka vs Mago video if you have not seen it yet, and a short excerpt from the interview. You can read the entire interview by clicking here.
Tetra: What do you feel about the idea of console tournaments?
Choco: I like how everyone go “Wai Wai” while a match is on.
Tetra’s Note: Wai Wai basically means cheering and other forms of loud coordinated voices.
Choco: I became a tournament organizer because I want to hype up the atmosphere in the arcades. There is a possibility that even the players who only played at home would come to the arcades. But arcade and console SF4 is slightly different.
Tetra: Timing and stuff right?
Choco: Yap yap. There is a need to consider the differences between hosting a console tournament and an arcade one. However having fun is the main priority! Organizing a small scale console tournament is something I want to try!
Tetra: Yap, having fun is the most important thing.
Choco: Yes! Instead of just deciding who is better in a serious tournament, its more fun to have everyone going “wai wai” while having tournament matches against each other. Maybe we can get the same effect for console tournaments!
