Just another day in the office.

I’m glad my Ryu flowchart worked out as planned. Very calming.
The final match saw a surprising character change from both competitors. What was the strategy behind your character selection?
Ryu was my original character, his Shoryuken attack ( f d df + P) is very strong.
Your win today has secured you the Number One Seed spot for the Season Final. How big of an advantage does that give you in the double-elimination format?
Give me one round and I’ll still win.
As you look ahead, how do you plan to maintain your winning streak in future competitions?
I don’t plan, I just do.
