NuckleDu Doesn’t Think Younger Players Have an Advantage in Street Fighter V

One of the players from the West that has been making a big splash as of late is Team Liquid’s Du “NuckleDu” Dang. NuckleDu is currently on an SFV hot streak, having won both Canada Cup 2016 and the CPT North American Regional Finals at Red Bull Battle Grounds–both Capcom Pro Tour qualifying events.

Capcom community manager Matt Edwards caught up with NuckleDu at Red Bull Battle Grounds to talk to him about his amazing performance and a few other topics.

One of the first things Edwards asked was about age, with three of the top four players at Red Bull Battle Grounds being aged 21 and under. To this, NuckleDu replied that, aside from maybe having more free time, he doesn’t think that being younger doesn’t necessarily give an advantage in Street Fighter V. He follows this up by mentioning other players who are older, such as Zowie|Gamerbee, HORI|Sako, and of course BST|Daigo who are all doing well competitively.

Of course, this is just a small part of what they talk about in the interview. Check out the full interview below.
