We’re very excited to announce the newest addition to our Ultra Street Fighter 4 division: World Class Rose Player Anton “Filipinoman” Herrera.

Filipinoman is currently ranked #34 on the World Rankings, and #10 in the USA as well as being the Best Rose player in the USA. He also plays Poison as his secondary character. He has been playing since the February 2009 release of the initial Street Fighter 4. Prior to that he was a Dead or Alive 4 player.

“We’ve already seen some great success from fellow USF4 team YP member Valmaster so we’re delighted to expand our Ultra Street Fighter 4 division with North American player, Filipinoman, as well,” said Brad Burns, YouPorn, Vice President. “His fierce, competitive spirit made him a perfect fit for Team YP.”

Filipinoman’s recent tournament placings include an impressive 9th place finish at EVO 2015, improving on his previous 13th place finish at EVO 2014.

If you haven’t already heard of the ‘loveable and huggable’ Filipinoman check out this video below from EVO 2015. I’m sure you’ll love him as much as we do.

Catch him this weekend (October 9th to 11th) at the Southern California Regionals: Main Event!
