The thing is he's actually right, Justin is pretty known for always picking the lamest characters, but like you said it's obvious that he just brought it up because he's still butthurt. And Phil "wow, all I have to do is spam the leg sweep and I win" Burnell has not much room to talk anyway.Thanks, mate.
That's one of those things where if just about anyone else had said it, I probably wouldn't have thought too much of it. But because it's Phil, it's likely a little jab to try to discredit Justin a bit. This, from a guy that I'm certain gets his feelings hurt any time someone discredits his top 8 finish at Evo that year because it was played on a janky console port that no one liked.
A fairly high percentage of people tend to play top tiers at tournaments, depending upon the game. IIRC Phil mained Balrog and Vega in Super Turbo, which are both top 5 characters. And they also have fewer bad matchups than Old Sagat.
I don't know which character Phil used to beat Justin, but neither of those characters is at an disadvantage against O. Sagat. Those matchups would be fairly even, perhaps even slightly in favor of Vega in a Vega/O.Sagat matchup.
So if Phil is trying to act as if this was some sort of David vs. Goliath matchup (in terms of the characters), he'd full of shit.
