ok I'm gonna drop the youtube thing...not worth going into but very funny and somewhat Ironic.
Lol dude, i was completely aware of my use of youtube while calling you out, the difference is im stating where my point of view is. you on the other hand are making statements as if they couldn't be untrue..just saying, it should be read more opinion based i would think!
Some cases I do feel that kou and stric and chops may not be better but might have beat him between the times of early 09-present. Meaning January First 2009 it's possible. Considering Armada plays with Calle alot I'd say Chops did very good against him. For those who don't know and can't see(the vids were removed) Chops was more than holding his own against Armada at Gen1. as for Kou and pools well...Over lost to DJN, Lost to Thorn before that...**** happens and the toilet flushes.
I won't disagree that those players can have a chance at possibly beating him in a match, esp. since a falco ditto shouldn't be a representation of you. but as a player all together i don't think so..
also i'm not sure why you keep bringing up 09, the discussion was based off of :
"Now that it's almost 012 and Falco's have stepped it up he seems to have been caught up to/passed by alot of people who seemed behind him or close to even with him."
So i assume we mean players at their present skill level, or what we've seen the latest of them.
I also agree chops did AMAZING, im pretty sure the match is still up as i've watched it alot since then. but of course this was chops living in Florida, not new york(like 99% sure), he's plays much less now and with players constantly getting better, it's hard to say chops will just unrust up and still be top level.
Also that part about kou and the toilet flushing or whatever, im not sure i get your point. your saying bad losses don't count? they are always excusable? i find good players losing a match theyre expected to win is a part of their consistency failing as a player. there is no "doesnt count" unless they are honestly really sick in my opinion. and obv. that wasnt the case for over or Kou. and this wasn't just a rare case, i played kou for like an hour with a buncha other people, i highly doubt i witnessed him playing bad just for that day, i just think he's far below the best falcos, like faaaaaaar.
as for Diakanos's position on Sion...well Think of how Lucky and Zhu would've look at SS going into Pound 4. They both played him very often. Both of them had more wins over him in various tournament sets. However they were both beat fairly convincingly by Armada. Silentspectre took Armada out almost made it seem easy....It's possibly someone who doesn't play Sion very often but could be perceived as much better could be beat by him.
this example is meh, just because i don't even know if lucky or zhu doubted SS at all. For all I and you(?) know, they considered him to be the best falcon, which would totally flip your point.
and im sure you know this, but falcon vs armada at gen1 was a joke, armada knew nothing about falcon. silentspectre knows it was a fluke. i'd love to see them play now. have you seen the **** armadas done to someone like hax in 2011!?
not too sure about your last point there.
