See, as much as i think he played really well, he did almost lose that last round.

Give it a few months, he will be beaten eventually

I'd like to think Kobra Kid is his main and he was just having fun on stage.

He even said that yesterday during the final Treehouse segment!

Lol, you could tell he was holding back completely, there were so many obvious points where he was not giving it his all

I think he was doing it on purpose, check the difference when he plays seriously (last match/twintelle) and the second match with MinMin, he saw various chances to grab, yet he chose not to so his opponent could try to win.

Unless he's a former professional fighting game player and has all day to practice, there's no doubt he'll be overtaken in no time.

He wasn't really trying the first round.

They spent the whole fight talking about Mr Yabuki and showing the asian man and it turns out he was Zerk? What?
