After tweeting on twitter about changing it up and focusing his efforts on a non-NRS game, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition 2012... you have to expect this to widen some eyes. I mean, "why" is his doing this? Well, Shoryuken.com editor, Patrick looked deeper than twitter and shot some questions to Carl "Perfect Legend" White to emphasize on why he made such a decision. He mentions several reasons of course, but one that may hit home the most is his feelings on the community "downplaying" his accomplishments.
How do YOU feel about this? Is Carl making the right decision in your opinion? Is this hypocritical to all of those who give the NRS community flack about playing more than one game?

Continue reading on Carl's decision over at Shoryuken.comCarl White: Well, playing Mortal Kombat 9 and Injustice: Gods Among Us has been great, as well as Dead or Alive, but I don’t feel like I have really been able to show people my strength and skills in fighters because SF gets the most exposure. While they all are great games in their own right, I feel like I should focus most — if not all — of my talents into SF. It has the deepest player base and skill pool and I want to show that I have what it takes to be at the top and challenge the house hold names in the series.
I want the acknowledgement, the prestige.
PM: How does SFIV’s status as the main event affect your motivation?
CW: I want the acknowledgement, the prestige. In Mortal Kombat, people do nothing but downplay my accomplishments. A win is a win, and you can’t discredit it no matter how it was obtained. However, I want to win where it matters the most.
Regardless if someone discredits me, everyone in the world will see it and have to acknowledge it. They can’t say, “Oh it doesn’t matter, because no one plays your game,” because SFIV does matter; it is the biggest fighting game with the longest history and the highest skilled players, along with Super Smash Bros. Melee. I want to be on the biggest stage, I want to be a part of the main event. With the other games I haven’t been able to capture that feeling for myself. It is great to win EVO and other tournaments in the games I am proficient in, but I think winning in SF will be a whole other form of euphoria on a totally different level. Of course, the payouts are bigger too, but money comes and goes. At the end of the day its about making history and the experience and that is what I want. I want to be the first American player to win SFIV at EVO.
PM: You’ve been sponsored by FNATIC for a little while now — have they had any input or weight in your decision to take up SFIV?
