Perhaps you didn't understand my first line was "Why i'm all FOR long button checks" then gave a hypothetical example in reference to PR Balrog.

The guys in CC got there by being the most consistent within the microcosm of their region. Nobody "random" qualified. You could make an argument for a few more players from a given region or a couple more qualifying events along the way but would you really want the NRS cup to just exclude you or whoever else from EU simply because your scene doesn't have as many killers or events as the US or Brazil? I mean, you're pretty confident that you can stack up to most US players, right? Do you think its justified you're irrelevant or just some random player because you don't play at WNF or Next Level?
You misunderstood my post. I'm saying that while people were deserving of their capcom cup entry, the upsets were overwhelming and results ended up being kind of random and not representatitve of true skill and I gave the example of nuckledu outplacing daigo when the former is clearly a much better player or snake eyes finishing last.
Well, for starters, Du didn't outplace Daigo. They both finished ninth. Second, there's nothing random about it. Du also outplaced Daigo at Evo. And Daigo lost in much the same ways he did at EVO, a Dhalsim counter pick, and a well known US player. Lastly, whats random about Snake Eyes losing to Bonchan and Momochi? Who should've gone out first round instead of him? CHu went out, Nish went out, PR Balrog went down to his own teammate. Are PR Balrog's results random as well? Did he not deserve to send Daigo home?
Daigo has been incredibly inconsistent for the last couple years.. When he plays well, he plays really well; but when he doesn't he's human. He can win a tournament and then place 17th at the next and no one will bat an eye.
He hasn't been inconsistent at evo (5 straight top 8s before this year) and he won the topanga world league and A league. Overall he has got top 8 a lot more than he hasn't. I would say he isn't winning as many events, so that could be said to he inconsistent for someone of his lvl; however, that isn't a surprise with how the tournaments for SF4 all time have went.
