This episode’s guests are Sweden’s very own Skatan Milla and Yagami, two of the best players in the country. Skatan Milla uses Chun Li and Yagami uses Dhalsim. Both placed in Top 8 at Dreamhack Winter this past November and this podcast was recorded at Dragon’s Lair in Stockholm, Sweden in early December.
Topics covered include:
- Dreamhack Winter 2009
- The overall lack of players in Sweden
- How to level up when you have little competition in the area
Video from the Dreamhack Finals, pics from Sweden and download links after the jump…
Apologies for the poor audio quality, only had one mic to work with, my bad. :( If you’re living in Sweden and aren’t playing at Dragon’s Lair or didn’t know there was a community for SF4, you definitely need to check out Bitter Harmony, Sweden’s fighting game portal.
Here is the Top 4 from Dreamhack Winter ‘09, where Yagami got 3rd:
Here are some pics from Sweden:

OMG Ryan, you slay me with your investigating questions uncovering the truth about the Swedish SF4-scene
Anyways, good job with the podcasts and the DH commentary was great!
Everyone in sweden is in a shit boat, no place to play (except dragon’s lair) so it’s hard for players how hasn’t been in the fighitng scene to get better even if you want to
it sucks
lol Skatan looks like a meth addicted Tobey Maguire.
Finally, some new podcasts! YEAH!
Good job! Those guys from Sweden and what they said about their small scene over there was really interesting.
Keep it up, Gootecks!
Greetings from Germany!
sToy
those guys from Sweden jokes man lol
ed ma head over to Sweden lol
Gootecks thanks for shedding some light on the swedish fighting game community and it was great having you here in Sweden. If you come here again we have to do the Mike Ross cup, do you BELIEVE? =)
My top moment of DH: I was getting my ass kicked by Ryan Hart and the few times I won I would boast like crazy then I see Gootecks just staring at me (he probably hadn’t slept for almost 24 hours) so I give him a thumbs up and I got absolutely no reaction. Priceless.
I love Sweden and had an amazing time over there with all you guys. Can’t wait to go back when it’s warm.
I’m curious about the issue with streaming, Skatan said they need a video capture card with HDMI.
Why is this? Why not record from a 360 with VGA – or even PC version?
Lol. Skatan came from Dead Or Alive, not ST. But I guess I would be ashamed of admitting that as well.
Man, this is kinda sad. I don’t know if americans know how lucky they are in having such a big community. Its quite hard in europe to get ppl together to really be able to compete with the american community. Fps are just way too popular here=/
Best players on sweden ?, how can you claim to be the best ‘?. There are so many players out there that never show up in “DL” stockholm I just think its a bit ignorant to claim your the best when there are so very few players who know about the swedish fight scene.
Ey… you swedes should be happy about your competative scene… theres like NOTHING here in Norway :<
