This interview pisses me off so much:

Japan beats USA at SSFIV. End of story. It doesn't matter who takes what
aspect of the game into account. The better players win in general. To
use this as an excuse for delayed wake up is asinine. The US players have
the access to the same tools and setups. And it's not like they don't use
it.

Flying under the radar!? People have been complaining about it since
BEFORE it was announced! It was probably THE dumbest mechanic that they
could add to the game. The last thing this game needed was another
defensive option. This does absolutely nothing to enhance grounded
offensive oki (it weakens it) and it destroys x-up oki. Say goodbye to
stuff like meaty fireball traps as well (something that has been part of SF
since SFII). And it's like Combofiend conveniently forgot that in 90% of
cases you need good footsies to score that knockdown in the first place
except if your name is maybe Cammy (random arrow) or Seth (random Tanden).
They should have just taken Sako's advice - reduce the frame advantage
after hardknockdowns, or maybe make throws result in air resets (like
teching in ST) rather than knockdowns. DWU is a stupid and lazy workaround.
And who cares about the standing game in SFIV when every 90% of the
characters like they're being dragged through molasses when they traverse
the screen and the stages are 10 football fields wide? All you're going to
have to is more keep away, not more footsies. Who does this benefit
mostly? Characters like Boxer, Honda and Guile who incidentally are repped
by 3 american players at the highest level. It's no coincidence that
Dieminion thinks an American might take EVO this year...
On another note, this looks cool, but Guile should have had this since
