More pictures can be found here.
I’m going to try and upload the videos RAW to youtube tonight, let’s see how that works out
The Japanese qualifier’s results are in and your Japanese Representative is none other than Hiromiki Kumada, or more (fearfully) known as ITABASHI_ZANGIEF (middle of picture).
The interesting thing here to note (as you can tell from the post picture) is that Tetra, who qualified on Saturday as well (At AMK Hub Qualifiers) is a good friend of Itabashi’s.. They’ve met before during the Asian Championships at last year’s WCG for VF5, and at the World Championships in Cologne, Germany as well. Two friends, qualifying for the same tournament, at the same time, in 2 different countries!
So the deal is SEALED.
Our 3-nation battle will be.
Singapore’s PEK HUN (Sagat)
Vs
Korea’s POONGKO (Ryu)
Vs
Japan’s ITABASHI (Zangief)
GET….
HYPE SONG BOH!!!!!!!!!?
From left to right, Tetra, WeiJie, Alan
The 2nd K.O. Qualifiers held at TKA Ang Mo Kio Big Mac Centre has ended with the 2 runner ups at Represent taking charge followed closely by Singapore E-sport legend Tetra!
They will compete against Pek Hun, Leslie, Yagami, Simon, Poongko and Laugh during K.O. Episode 1 @ TGX joined by the 6 qualifiers from the Kallang and Clementi events as well as the Japanese K.O. Qualifier (which I believe has ended, awaiting results anytime now).
If you would like to join in the action, cement your name in the pantheon of world warriors, or just meet some really fun-loving street fighter players. Do remember to come down for the next qualifiers held at TKA Kallang Leisure Park next SATURDAY 20th of June 2009 at 6pm. Pre-registration is still open at Bugis TKA Virtualand so do head down and secure your spot ASAP.
A fantastic tournament just ended and K.O. is off to a flying (literally) start.
With 2 El Fuertes flying around the brackets, this is what things looked like after the dust had cleared.
1st place – Leslie – Sagat
2nd place – Yagami – El Fuerte
3rd place – Simon – Ryu
We’ll have photos and videos up in just a bit, in the meantime, congratulations to the placers, we still have 3 qualifiers and a LOT of big local SF4 names to qualify.
Stay tuned to K.O. here at Round1.SG!
Represent!!(Yo) is over and Peihoon is your Singapore SF4 representative. For reports, head to Yagami’s blog.
We saw some of THE best Singapore SF4 matches to date on Saturday, and there were certainly many great in-game moments which I certainly wasn’t expecting. Expect videos to be uploaded in batches. Personally, I can’t wait to see the comments on Alan’s amazing Akuma comeback.
However, arguably the best moment of Represent didn’t come from the game. Before the finals between Alan and Peihoon, I interviewed the both of them. Peihoon’s response shall never be forgotten, and we’ll just have to wait till K.O. to see if it really is true.
And yes, Peihoon won the match and is your Singapore Street Fighter 4 representative. After his pre-match comments, I believe we can all agree that it was inevitable.
Stay tuned for the gameplay videos.
In addition, Rapture Gaming has posted an interview with Peihoon.
How do you view Singapore’s SF4 standard as compared to other countries.
I think we are 2nd compared to the best country, Japan

That’s right folks, Poongko is confirmed as the first of our 3 special guests for the K.O. finals and the 3-nation exhibition match! Poongko is the Korea national champion and represented Korea in the famous 4-man world tournament in San Francisco a while back against Daigo Umehara, Iyo and Justin Wong. Although he wound up losing, he definitely put on a good show and gave those SF4 superstars a good run for their money. Also, it was reported that he cleaned up shop against the rest of the US including the likes of Gootecks. Poongko’s PSN nick is efzzang and he was the top ranked player in terms of BP for at least a month when SF4 was released on console.
Recently, Laugh (Korean 3rd place) also came to Singapore and gave most of us a taste of how good Korean play is, so I’m excited to be able to play Poongko. (Again for me. I played him in Korea and it was apparent back then that he was levels above me, at least. I do hope it’s different this time around tho!)
In case some of you didn’t catch the World Tournament feat. Poongko, here are the videos.
Remember, by signing up for Represent!!(Yo) for this Saturday, you get a free pass to play best of 5 against.Poongko on the 3rd of July at Virtualand Bugis. Poongko plays every character in SF4 VERY well, (here is proof) so I’m sure if you want to see how a certain character can be played to a high level, you can request it on the night.
