Yesterday, some dude from Shoryuken.com did an online interview with John to see what he does to prepare for tournaments.
Yes, some knowledge was dropped.
Feel free to read the entire, unadulterated interview below. If you’re thinking, “tl;dr”, basically, it boils down to having a gameplan, knowing your opponent, and not mashing shit out when you’re about to die — things that I am guilty as fuck for. Anyway, here’s a small nugget of knowledge that can apply to novice and veteran players alike. Enjoy.
Also, catch the full Wake Up Shoryuken radio show on SRK — Kim “Kim1234″ Ohayo is featured on the show. It’s worth a listen!
