    Good interview, he comes across as a very intelligent guy. Some of his comments could come across as arrogant but I don't think there's a hint of it about him at all.

    I'd say a lot of meaning is lost in translation.

    "Everyone I've ever played has some fatal flaw. But you know, personally I enjoy being a challenger more than a titleholder. I definitely would welcome a supreme character's arrival. When he appears, gaming for me will become fun again"

    My favorite quote, I love this guys confidence.

    Interesting interview! Some of his comments may have a touch of arrogance but then again, all the sporting greats have that. He does seem like an alright guy though when reading the full interview...

    🤪

    Doesn't seem arrogant to me at all - He's aware of his capabilities and is speaking in reality by not downplaying it. If I was as good as he was I'd like to think I'd still be my humble, depreciating self much like I am now but that wouldn't change the fact that I was one of, if not THE best, and you have to be able to talk from that height if you want to give proper realistic answers, at least on a personal level.

    I can't imagine an interview being all that interesting if he was one of those people shrugging their shoulders saying "Yeah I did alright for myself, let's see how the next one goes..." or "I don't think I'm as good as they say, really, maybe I just got lucky..."

    He comes across as a laid back, cool and collected person who's aware of where he is without making a big deal out of it - At least thats how I see it, anyways.

    Aye Ropeh, but don't forget : If the ****test player says they're the ****test player, they lack self confidence, and if the best player says they are the best, they are arrogant :pac:

    I'd say Dooms Remy could beat him in third strike. I don't even want to imagine how good he'd be if he even played the game before :)
