Couple years ago, Alex Valle walked into my bar. A relaxing, dimly lit, tropical atmosphere in a Tiki bar and without skipping a beat after greeting customers entering the small intimate setting of our bar as I usually do, I recognized him and blurted out, "Mr. Street Fighter himself is in my bar?!" It gave him a chuckle, and I bought him and his friend their first round. Random, but sometimes I think about that.

it's awesome that you could show him the appreciation with the greatest of ease

@@Kelberoth Definitely! I'm not one for celebrity frivolities, and I'm not pro gamer by any means, but an avid fan of the FGC community nonetheless, and I recognize greatness where it's due. That guy (along with many others) practically paved the way for pro gaming for what it is today and I love that. I think any kid who grew up in the 90's playing video games loves to see where games have gone and the community in it.

@tonnenpanda Жыл бұрын

You forgot about the running command grab at the start of the 2nd match 😶‍🌫

@Animehound1 Жыл бұрын

The simple fact that Alex not once used Hugos normal or EX Press is what led to this win. Bonchan was constantly on the watch and whenever Alex was too close he would jump back expecting the command grab. That's also why he got caught by the meat squasher in the opening of the second match. Sometimes a grappler characters strongest ability is to leave the fear of the command grab and not use it.

Still crazy how Valle beat Bonchan with a move that he never used even once

@HeavyMetalLink05 Жыл бұрын

8:40 Alex Valle actually talked about this set before in an interview. He said in this situation he wanted to bait the jump by threatening command grab, thats why he just sat there, he was trying to react to a jump. Apparently it was something he did alot with a ton of success. He truly postulated Bon Chans possibilities What a legend

I was working at a bar when this match happened. I was upset I had to work that evo weekend. So I kept making excuses to step outside. Pretty sure my co-workers thought I was on drugs. I happned to step out right at the Character select and saw Alex pick Hugo and thought "Why?! I have to watch this." I was screaming inside my car phone in hand. One of the only matches not top 16 that I got to see live.

@PetterNe Жыл бұрын

One of the most memorable fights in the history of SFIV. Insane props to Valle! People were shocked at how easily he dominated a supposed 3-7 matchup.

When I was a shorty back in the 90s I would read EGM mag and see the results of some "California" gaming tournament and always see the name "Alex Valle" in no less than 3rd place. I was like who the hell is Alex Valle? And since when did gaming tournaments exist?! 😂 We didnt have any tournaments like that in Chicago back then. But I never forgot that name because it always came up.

@Terraiced Жыл бұрын

It's always really annoyed me that no one seems to have addressed James and Skisonic's comments regarding Valle "dropping his combos". It seems obvious to me that he was ending the combo early in the hope Bonchan would be holding up back and he was pumping for Ultra 2. He tries it a few times throughout this match and landed it at least once.

@Giraffinator Жыл бұрын

Listen, when you're watching the world's best Sagat and one of the finest modern Street fighter players in the world being trounced by an old man's pocket Hugo, it's understandable that the commentators aren't gonna get that right in the moment whilst being confronted by pure sexual energy. It's not worth being annoyed over, we all know how good Valle is.

@nemoisnobody Жыл бұрын

How about the SoCal Regionals Valle vs Daigo. It might seem boring to those that don't understand Street Fighter, but that would be a good reason for a breakdown. You didn't see many combos outside a hit confirm into super, mainly because they didn't give each other a chance. They kept each other out and didn't let each other in. It was Street Fighter in it's PUREST form.

The reason Alex knew Bonchan would jump in the final round was because he'd hit Bonchan multiple times with triple claps, so he only did 2 claps and antecipated Bonchan would jump to try to escape from the third. That's when he just dashed and Megaton Pressed him to oblivion. He wasn't reading Bonchan's mind, he was PROGRAMMING it. Bonchan looked like a flawlessly programmed Java app.
