- [Post-match interview] Umehara didn't train Gen matchup at all, he trained Dhalsim matchup. He was surprised that Xian used Gen.
- [Post-match interview] Umehara didn't know that PR Rog is the 8th opponent in the league.
- [Post-match interview] In the last game, Umehara purposely baited (by Hadoken) Super so he's in better position in last round.
- The translator guy asked Umehara a question without an indication that it was a question. That confused Umehara. (It's like asking without using "Do you.....")
- The translator guy probably is learning the language and has limit choices of words.
