Legendary Chinese King of Fighters player Xiaohai used his Yun to defeat both Sako (3rd) and Poongko (2nd) to claim first place in a recent Chinese Super Street Fighter IV AE (non-2012) tournament. This result may come as a surprise to those not familiar with the traditionally isolated, KOF-centric Chinese scene, but Xiaohai is widely recognized as perhaps the greatest KOF player in the world, and has previously beaten Mago in a vanilla Street Fighter IV exhibition. The tournament also featured compLexity Cross Counter’s Mike Ross and Combofiend, who were eliminated before top 16. Hopefully Xiaohai’s recently-signed eLivePro sponsorship deal will mean more opportunities for this top player to prove his ability on the international stage in the future.
