Message from Hatoko to Evo organizer
What's the true standard of choosing a game? Is it based on tournament players or fanbase? Is it based on American scenes or international? Do you also request number from Japanese organizers? Do you count sales? Do you accept unlocalized games since you accept unfinished? Why is it inconsistent? How do you explain some games with smaller and less active scenes than others getting the spots? If money hatting is OK then why don't you let subcommunities have a donation drive and pay for the spots? What's your target audience? What's the point of "world largest" when you don't consider international scenes? Do you think you can get away with the side tournament trick AKA throwing a bone to please the scenes you dishonor? How do you feel now more than 20% of Evo isn't a fighting game? Why don't we call it Neuro already? Why don't you add LoL if you care that much about viewers? You hate being called e-sports because you want to feel independent so why you act like a tool? You hate being called e-sports because you want to retain that precious influence from simply being the old gen so why make yourself irrelevant? Can't you use that negotiation power and come up with a better solution? Why are you holding back the community? What's your escape plan if Nintendo decides to pull out and hold its own tournament while the rejected and legit fighting game scenes also do the same?

[Video] All of Umehara's Raging Demon at Master Series
This is a good video showcasing all Raging Demon Daigo Umehara made at Canada Cup's Master Series.
Umehara is now used to Evil Ryu as you can see almost no combo drop in an entire tournament (very different from mid-2014). He started using kara RD (cancelling hop kick into RD) in a real match since Capcom Pro Tour Asia, and the technique now plays an important role in his gameplay.
With how he plays the character now, the fans slowly forget about his Ryu, because his Evil Ryu still shows strong footsie and his main source of damage comes from open play (as opposed to set play such as okizeme cross-up).
Although Umehara's Evil Ryu is already impressive, and is the best Evil Ryu ever, perhaps it's too early to say it's at full potential, knowing how good he is.
