IGN: How big a part of your life is Street Fighter now, especially now that IV is out?
Justin Wong: I travel a lot more because of Street Fighter IV. I get more income because there are more tournaments now and sponsors are putting in more prize money.
There'll be guaranteed $5,000 or guaranteed $4,000 for a tournament. That helps me to not need to have a regular day job.
I just travel around the country and people pay for my ticket and I just play Street Fighter. So Street Fighter is a big part of my life.
IGN: How long have you been able to do this full time?
Justin Wong: I've been doing this for ten years now. If it works for me now, it'll still work for me in the future.
IGN: Do you have a regular training routine, day-in and day-out?
Justin Wong: Yeah, I practice my combos. I do my combo's a hundred times to make sure I can get one hundred percent when I do them. Also I go to sessions, go to arcades.
It's mainly just to keep getting experience. Traveling more, you get more experience, you won't get nervous.
People get nervous in tournaments so the more you travel the more you can conquer that and not get nervous anymore.

―噂で「ジャスティンがゲームの記録をギネスに申請しようとしている」というものがあるんですが、真偽はいかに？
ジャスティン スポンサーに推されてやったんだけど、本当だよ。今週マネージャーが受け取るハズだった気がする。自分はなにで載るのかよくわかんないけど（笑）。
アメリカではプロゲーマーは仕事としてステータスがあるんで、ダイゴがアメリカに来たらリッチになると思うんだけどな（笑）。
