1. About traveling- I agree, but everyone has a different circumstance so in order to reach goals of being an elite player, different people have to do different things. If you for example are surrounded by high level players, then you shouldn't have to travel to level up.
But if you are like me and live in the middle of nowhere, well only way I am going to be able to compete with the elite players in Mexico is to basically play against them!!
2. I am only one person, and I can only do so much, and right now my focus is Mexico and the international stage. However; with that said, the USA does get some opportunities for international tournaments, and I have upped my tournaments to Tri-National status to show people if they really wanna compete to see if they are the best they have to pit themselves against multiple countries! So for example the champion in all my tournaments going forward is at the least a Bi-National Champion (USA and Mexico), and I would hope the USA's best are NOT okay with that, but if they want to dispute that well they have to come to Mexico to prove their worth vs. Kula, Zeus, Alexis, Kane9999 and all the other Mexican players!!!!
Plus everything is shaping up for the eventual WORLD KOF CUP, and the strong spots are where the qualifiers will be, so for example, to Qualify for THE WORLD KOF CUP, USA and Canada will have to GO TO MEXICO and make it out of that, I am not going to cut any corners, I wanna make sure ONLY THE STRONGEST COME OUT, so if you truly feel you are good enough to move on in a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, you will go South Mexico and show your worth!
But again, there are things planned in the future that revolve around KOF13 so that people will have a chance in the USA, but remember, B.A.L.A. is MEXICAN, he is from Puebla, Mexico, so are you sure you wanna count him as the American side? As Kula said in one video, I think B.A.L.A. represents Mexico moreso than the USA.
Me? I rep both countries but obviously moreso Mexico because that's where I play 90% of the time.
