LOL i never heard of you, no offense n_n, btw why was ein added in 5U ? is he even relevant now hayate is back ?
He's relevant because he has a distinct playstyle that Hayate lacks. Both Hayate and Hitomi originated as Ein replacements in DOA3, but as the installments continued and the system "evolved" so did their playstyles and with each iteration they played less and less like Ein. As of DOA5U they have completely different playstyles from him which makes him relevant again. At this point his only lack of relevance is story related and

The US of A does have Ein reps.
@shazzmatazzles and T-Boy for example

Seen T-Boy, not the former though. Guess I'd actually need to be at these events to see them. It's just that for a lot of characters there are players, top or not that are synonymous with a characters name. When you hear Christie you think E-Mann or Kwiggle, Helena = XCal, Hayate = Repoman/Shade, Kasumi = Allan Paris and so on for various characters. Even Brad has Chosen1 (well... not sure how much he still plays). For Ein though there's no one. JayCee certainly comes to mind but that brings me back to "US" Ein.
Thanks
@Zeo, very nice of you. Do you still play the game ?
Not anymore. Unexpected things happened and I stopped. Can't help feeling a certain way about not being able to go out and represent him (Akira and Hayate too, but less so). It's been almost a year since I stopped playing and to this day I still get messages from people asking me for help or advice. Even from T-Boy. Makes me feel like I have some sort of elder or sensei status which I never accept but it still makes me feel like I should be out there showing everyone how it's done. Especially since I feel like I could really go toe to toe with the top players at my best. It just... feels like I'm the one who's supposed to rep him (as well as Akira/Hayate).
Rambling though, to answer your question I haven't played in almost a year with anyone. Last thing I did was research Ein tech 8 or so months back as you well know.
