Haha, Only Ruu looks pretty good atm, Dogura played very well vs Fab at last weekend. Judging from the videos from last 1.5 months A-Cho is wayyyyy behind Mikado. A-cho players did look a bit better week ago compared to times before that. I can name some mikado players who looks stronger than those atm. Lets start from the top 3, Nage, Inoue (aka kazunoko), Koichi. Then we can start going on, FAB, Teresa, Satou,, Chonari, Kiisha, Fino, Konsome, En, BOB, AGF, Ain, Osaka B, Kishitaka, OSCA, Kazuki, Nakamura, JUN. There is also one may player who seems to be way above achos kedako/efute. Just cant get his name in my head.
At the last i dunno where Samitto plays nowdays, he is sometimes at mikado/acho and in some weird arcade. Guess you could put him in top players now matter where he plays.
Edit: Also the netplay is very smooth inside scandinavia, games are pretty much lagless. Europe is small enough so pretty much anyone can play against each other with 2-4 bars.
