Undead Astronauts

What a year for Evo and SSF4 2012. No Japanese player winning the entire tournament or even in the grand finals! No US players either. The two countries represented were Korea (Infiltration) and Taiwan (Gamerbee), and Infiltration’s Akuma was just too much for Gamerbee’s Adon. Infiltration was really too much for everyone at the tournament as he blew through his competition pretty much without breaking a sweat.

Here’s the top 16:

1. Infiltration, Akuma (Korea)
2. Gamerbee, Adon (Taiwan)
3. PR Balrog, Balrog (Puerto Rico)
4. Xiao Hai, Cammy (China)
5. Daigo, Ryu (Japan)
5. Human Bomb, Sakura (Hong Kong)
7. Dieminion, Guile (US)
7. Poongko, Seth (Korea)
9. Kindevu, Cammy (Japan)
9. Haitani, Makoto (Japan)
9. Fuudo, Fei Long (Japan)
9. Dogura, M. Bison (China)
13. iPeru, El Fuerte (Peru/US)
13. Kyabetsu, C. Viper (Japan)
13. Mike Ross, E. Honda (US)
13. Justin Wong, Rufus (US)
