after getting blown up the first day, he rallied with some impressive sets. (lulz @ the early US reactions...my favorite was Sanford complaining that selfish Americans don't share tech and *he* would've done better than Smug, when he never shared Sagat strategy with Smug because he wants to be NLBC king).

beat Momochi, kept beating Poongko, and went 9-10 against Sako and Xian. all the top players except Daigo got rocked in at least one set, though, which just shows how good everyone is and how much match-ups matter in USF4.
