I haven't heard any news on Watson for a while aside from him placing in the top five of CVS in a recent tourney. Don't get me wrong, I have mad respect for Duc Do, Alex Valle, Justin Wong, and all the other current greats but I just was wondering what happened to the only player ever to have a combo (cross up round house/jab/throw or fireball) named after him. Posted by psx2000 on 05:15:2001 02:08 AM: i seriouslly didnt know watson plays cvs last thing i heard is how he dominated with balrog in super turbo thats about it and him going to japan vs usa . Posted by GummyDrop on 05:15:2001 04:49 AM: betcha didn't know he still plays mvc2 huh? Posted by ChunLi on 05:15:2001 04:52 AM: i heard he's pimping chics and watching the $$$ roll in Posted by Apoc on 05:15:2001 05:19 AM: Mr. Watson also has a damn MVC2 team named after him! =) Apoc.

Alex Valle has a VC named after him. They call it the Alex combo in Japan, also. It's that cross-up V-Ryu VC that EVERYBODY was using for the longest time.

He was suppose to be the first one to discover the true power of the CC in Alpha 2. Posted by djLIKU on 05:16:2001 12:13 AM: I own him in 3rd strike. Posted by CaliSean on 05:16:2001 12:15 AM: i own lik djliku in third strike **CaliSean huggles srk.com** lololool owned Posted by Servebot on 05:16:2001 12:49 AM: What is the Valle CC anyway? Posted by Pez_Man on 05:16:2001 02:52 AM: Valle CC was in alpha 2 were you activate CC within 1/4 screen away while they are standing. They can't block low, so you start with a low roundhouse into hurricane kick, then dp with ryu or ken. you can counter with a CC of your own or a dragon punch. i will credit the alpha 2 book for the information since it's where i got it. Best US book ever!!! Posted by REALPLAYER on 05:16:2001 04:56 AM: Why can't you block it? Is it a glitch or something? Posted by State of Nature on 05:16:2001 04:59 AM: I don't think it's a glitch. Evil Ryu had a crouching RH CC glitch though. For most people, it's that a CCs crouching RH comes out pretty much instantly, and since it takes time to move the controller to low block, you get hit.

No...there's this thing called block delay on a2...meaning that you are NOT blocking the moment you enter a block command...it's a split second later...so couple this with the game freeze from a cc and you get...unblockable. Try walking forward and have sagat's lvl3 tiger shot come at you...try to block right when you see it light up. You won't even be able to crouch. In a2 you have to block in anticipation. Apoc.
