Ponos | MokeMoke's big break was Evo, when he made finished fifth by beating JB, Big Bird, Yukadon, Xiaobao, and MOV. So we know he has to be taken seriously. Not only that, this is his first year on the CPT, so if Capcom gave out a rookie of the year award, you'd have to consider Moke to be one of the contenders. Remember, this guy did better than 90% of the "top" US players, not to mention Jiewa, Xiao Hai, Infiltration, Poongko, Nemo, HumanBomb, and practically all of Europe. Not bad for a newbie. As per tradition , the name of the company that sponsors Moke sounds kinda like a dirty word in English. You kinda wonder if Japanese companies are doing that on purpose, at this point. On the one hand, yes, "Penis Moke" is more memorable to us Americans than "Random Actual Japanese Word Moke" would be - but, on the other hand, it's not like I'm gonna go around bragging about my new Penis-brand whatever it is that they make. You've gotta think that stuff through, people.Sike - I don't have any! Near as I can tell, Moke is a goddamn cipher. Has Shoryuken done a feature on Moke yet? NOPE. What about Eventhubs? NOPE. BornFree? NOPE. Reddit? One person in r/kappa asked about sponsoring Moke one time AND THAT'S FUCKING IT. Although, come to think of it, being sponsored by r/kappa is basically the same as being sponsored by Penis, so maybe there is a connection there after all.Seriously, though, who the fuck is this guy? I would talk about his competitive history, but he basically has none - he went to a local late last year and then started placing at CPT events like it was no big deal. His twitter is bland as fuck - he basically just tweets about jetlag tournament results , and food . Likewise, here's his bio on the Team Liquid wiki THANKS A LOT, GUYS. SUPER FUCKING HELPFUL.How old is he? What are his hobbies? How did he get into Street Fighter? Why did he pick Rashid? Where does the name "Moke" come from? Is he a real human or a replicant that was manufactured in a secret Japanese lab and programmed to play fighting games? HELL IF I KNOW. All I've got are two things. One: he sometimes shows up on this Japanese YouTube channel , which, since I don't speak Japanese, is FUCKING USELESS. And two: he's been getting tutored by Dogura and Go1 So there you go, I guess - that's the takeaway here. You, too, can rise from complete and total obscurity to become a top-tier professional Street Fighter player. All you have to do is somehow convince two godlike old-school pros to mentor you and then devote your entire life to the game. EASY EVERY TIME.Not to be redundant, but, I mean, who the fuck is this guy? Can you imagine the winner of Capcom Cup being a who-dey? That shit didn't work for the Bengals (side note: FUCK THE BENGALS), and it ain't gonna work for Moke.Good luck. Seriously, good luck trying to make an argument for Moke winning Capcom Cup. You don't know anything about the guy, either, do you? Unless you ARE Moke, in which case, please, introduce yourself in the comments.
