| Y'know I've always wondered exactly why people pick the characters they play in tournaments. I mean, are they usually just playing the character that they feel "connected" to (or felt "connected" to as a kid), or do they sit down and decide which character will be most advantageous--most surprising and confusing for their opponent or simply a high tier character that they're comfortable playing. |
Varies by player. You'll see Justin and Marn go for Yun or other high-tier characters when shit is on the line, but in less high-pressure situations you might see them bring out Adon or Makoto or Dudley or something -- characters they enjoy playing but maybe aren't quite so dominating. Mike Ross will play Honda until the sun burns out, complaining about how bad all of his matchups are the whole time. I'd say most good players just pick who they like, dedicating themselves to that one character until they know everything about them and their matchups. Wolfkrone and C. Viper, for example. The Japanese ST scene is filled with guys who are the masters of their respective characters, and can play around supposedly bad matchups thanks to their years of experience. Why did they pick those characters to begin with? That's probably the feeling of "connectedness" you describe. |

| I think AE is a pretty boring game to watch. Wolfkrone vs. Mago was nice but in general I don't like matches where it's just yun/fei/viper/makoto/et. al trading combos with no defense or zoning of any sort. |
