Statement of Purpose: Evolution 2012

Greetings everyone,

I'm creating this blog in an effort to chronicle my year long training to prepare for Evolution 2012.

Just to give a bit of background on myself I'm a 31 year old scientist, martial artist and gamer. In the early 2000's I got in competitive fighting games. I grew to love the fighting game community and the games themselves. I played Third Strike and CvS2. Recently with the release of Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition I felt the urge to re-enter the scene.

After watching almost non-stop the Evolution 2011 tournament I have made it my goal to prepare as much as I can and go to Evolution. I'm going to document my progress and my thoughts in the process. 


In Street Fighter I main Makoto, and I'm still looking for a secondary possibly Juri.


I'll give you my current feelings on Makoto since I mained her back in Third Strike.


Makoto doesn't really fall into the standard archetypes of characters (i.e. Grappler, Shoto....) She's in a class of her own. She's capable of blowing you up just like she could in Third Strike through the use of her really nice normals and nasty high damage/ high stun combos. 




I'm in the middle of grilling dinner so I will have to write more later on.
