Questions for the team

Q. What is the team you dont want to meet in SF4 SBO2010 the most and why?
Momochi: No particular team. Every team is roughly the same.
RF: Daigo’s team. I dont like to play against Fuerte(TKD is in Daigo’s team) in tournaments and also Daigo is a tough opponent. I prefer to avoid his team if possible.
Kindevu: No particular team.

Momochi: Of course to become the champions of SBO.
RF: Winning in both SF4 and Guilty Gear

Q. You guys have been a team in multiple tournaments. Is there a reason why?
Momochi: We have been together for 2 major tournaments, SBO and Capcom nationals. A few times in NSB as well.
RF: This is the 2nd time for major tournament. One of the reason is we are great friends. Another reason is, I feel the only way to win national tournament is teaming with Kindevu and Momochi.

Individual Questions

For Momochi
Q. Recently, you have been invited to a number of overseas tournaments. How different is the tournaments compared to Japan?
I am amazed by the foreign players as they are very motivated. They also have lots of fun playing games.

Q.In october, you will be flying over to America. Do you have any confidence in winning the tournament?
I dont have alot of confidence, I think? *Laugh* I seldom win Daigo.

To RF
Q. You teammates, Momochi and Kindevu have been going to overseas tournaments recently. Do you want to go to overseas tournament?
I joined overseas tournaments for KOF and guilty gear before. But not for SF4 yet. If there is a chance to go for overseas tournaments, I definitely want to join. Please invite me over.

To Kindevu
Q. You used Cammy in the recent tournament in Korea. Is there any chance you will be using Rufus in SSF4?
Not a definite no but maybe not a very high probability that I will be using Rufus in Super SF4.

Thanks to Momochi, RF, Kindevu for the interview! Wish them the best in SBO 2010!
