No I wasnt asking for a top 5.
The list I gave is who I think ARE THE BEST 5 EVER..
And its up to u guys to debate it and agree to disagree, lol
Emil_kof : U say I pick popular house hold names, but it just so happens that these
house hold names win competitions..
u say "Kof has many many international players BUT the game is not big enough
for companies to want to sponsor players. The result is that almost none of the
best players are able to actually attend tournaments outside of their own country,
due to large travel costs and low tournament prizes"
Yes kof has many good international players, but not good enough to be in a Top 5 of all time.
U say "Madkof, Koukou, Haregoro, Picnic, Tenkawa...it's hard to choose because there
are many other strong players. Madkof might not even be top 5,
as good as he is. Woo is a toss up, as well as Kaoru...and possibly Misterio
can be added in there, he is much stronger than I anticipated."
KouKou - Very good player, no question the best KIM in existence.. but take Kim out and
he becomes not as strong..
Entered Evo 2013 and failed to get into Top 8, Entered IGT 2014 and lost to Tokido,
entered a Tournament in France and finished 4th I believe.
Haregore - Another very good player, best Joe no doubt, but again prob relies on Joe to much,
take him out and he's pretty much done..
Entered Evo 2013 and didnt make Top 8 entered IGT 2015 and lost 3-0 to Xiaohai in the first round.
Had a Money match before IGT with Misterio first to 3, and lost 3-0..
Woo - A very good player very solid, and getting 2nd at EVO 2013 is no fluke.. but lets be
honest.. he should have won it.. Up 2-0 in Grand finals in the winners side, and he goes
and loses 6 games in a row.. this means he panicked, didnt have the winning mentality
to get over the line. Placed 5th in Evo 2014 losing to Tokido, and entered IGT 2015
but didnt get into top 4..
Picnic and Tenkawa I dont really know much about, so I wont comment..
U say "As much as I love Tokido, you have to realize that he hadn't played kof for very
long - he was getting trained by the true grandmasters in Japan, players like Dune,
Koukou, Haregoro, etc. It's hard to call him top 5 because of that."
Kof 13 came out in console at the end of 2011, I know Tokido was playing it in 2012, and has
been playing ever since so not sure where u getting ur info from?
Yes he was trained by the best in Japan, and u know wot, he got better than them..
To be known as a great u have to go outside ur comfort ZONE and prove u can WIN..
