Seriously guys, as happy as I'm glad maddest beat me and he's the strongest in Poland, he'd be eaten for breakfast in Kuwait. Not joking, not taunting, simply the truth. To get on to skill level, Ryan Hart was in the arcades a lot in Japan, and he did well against our top players with his unorthodox Sagat. The guy is legitimately skilled and knows how to play + London have an active SF scene (with arcade) with great players. Also French players themselves have an active SF scene and have two arcades or something? Know what you're up against. Active scene + strong players + who's proven themself at home and abroad. WE do not have this, one guy is five hours away from me, the other guy five hours away from me, I cannot even get legit practice of SF4 in Warsaw without online, thankfully somehow my luck went good for UMVC3 and I have Kossak to train with, while this is something you don't even think about in their locations.
However, this doesn't mean 'let's drop our sticks and they're too strong let's not play' go and play and see how we do. We have no idea how we would do. Maybe maddest eat them for breakfast, maybe some other player will do well, we have a golden chance to go for it, simply train your best. But realize what they have and what we lack, and try to make up for it.
I've been here two years, I want to have pride that Poland does something. Go back home and tell them 'look, they're Polish, I've played with them look how good they are!' Best of luck to each of us, I only hope Poland does something to shake it up a bit, now I'll eat my breakfast.
