iPlayWinner just posted an interview that they did with KSK, a master at playing Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike as Alex (check out the amazing video above where he recovers twice from near defeat). He’s also been pretty integral to the Japanese fighting scene, since he owns and operates Gamer’s Vision and organizes the Godsgarden tournament.

In the interview, KSK talks about the upcoming release of Super Street Fighter IV, the upcoming Godsgarden 2, and how Japanese fighting social scenes differ from American. Oh, and Kuchi-play:

iPW: We tend to talk a lot of smack here in the states. Do Japanese players ever “talk smack” to each other? 

KSK: We call it “Kuchi-play”. I think it is a part of the fun of fighting games in arcade, and certain Japanese players love it.
