Bolded Ash Zafina got downloaded so hard 11 loses and KKokoma almost beat him and Piyohiko got on his Zafina.Keisuke almost beat him and Marubu and Microm dent him |
His sets vs SER (another Eddy player) was hard-won too. But on the other hand 4 of the sets he lost were pretty close (vs Malgu, Jokre, Kagemaru, and Mori). Kagemaru was known to some as arguably the best Josie player in the world (I don't necessarily agree), Jokre is probably the best Lei as far as evidence, Malgu is the tied best Law player, Keisuke is imo the best Kazuya specialist (Knee is better but doesn't use him enough), and Mulgold is also the world's best Claudio player imo (Better than Shadow. They played a mirror FT5 offline and, predictably, Mulgold crushed him). No shame in losing to them, they're all really skilled, most of them have beaten Knee before more than once.
With that being said, Arslan Ash got food poisoned and Kurokuro took him to the hospital as soon as he arrived in Tokyo 4 or so days before the main event. He's also not used to PC's input lag. But a loss is a loss, and all players have their own circumstances/reasons that can explain their losses. I just couldn't help but chuckle because Arslan always has a bunch of excuses prepared for whenever he loses, he does it nearly every time. Toxic haters and fake fans appear to live in his head rent free, which makes him overly concerned about defeat.
He's still top 2 in my opinion just behind Knee.
