The Kid From Nowhere Who Won it All… and Gave the Money Away

by devaccess



The Dominican Republic earned their way to the top of the Street Fighter world. They overcame barriers, borders and gods and earned the rest of the world’s respect.

But after their champion won the biggest prize in Street Fighter, he didn’t spend it on himself.

He spent it trying to break every obstacle down for his brothers and sisters back home.

If people in all professions/businesses do what Mena did, most 3rd world countries would be developed by now.

Of course it's easy to forget about the rest of the world with Capcom's netcode.

Amazing story, but it's a crime that you've not done a piece of Garireo's historic comeback against Dogura in 2014 BlazBlue Evo grand finals. I don't even give a shit about BlazBlue but anyone can tell that GF was something special and magical.

Kid has done more for his community and the gaming scene in his country, than any other pro gamer, streamer, or youtuber I can think of, very strong entrepreneurship instincts and mindset, he has a bright future.

Where all the Mena haters at. In stream all ppl do is make fun of his weight and say bad things about my country. This is our true side. Like it or not he beat the best and won Capcom cup paving the way for more Dominicans and y'all wanna be disrespectful smh. What have you done for your FGC? Sorry small rant. Pros respect em the ppl don't.
