You
Transcending history and the world.
A tale of dudes and souls in eternal control.
We all need to shine and to sing
How far we've come on a journey
How far you've left to go
Searching for my star
Keeping the night, breaking my heart
Show me your love, show me your power
Show me your love, oh
I'm gonna kiss the dead and do so
Won't you kiss the real
I'm gonna kiss the dead and do so
Won't you kiss the real
I'm gonna kiss the real
Yeah, what's up dudes?
Alright chat.
Let's get this shit started.
actual day hold on hold on hold on is it just twitch.tv slash Epo?
It probably should be live by now.
They are. They are. It's the goddamn son.
Streaming too much. Too goddamn much.
All right. Son is still out. Son live reaction? You better believe that.
seeing all the friends I lord of the content matches right yes obviously you
know we're gonna have taken a top eight today and three for six top eight today
I'm really curious about three for six top eight because you know what modern
hockey in winners top eight that's pretty much um that's pretty much the
two tournaments that are happening is Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 right
that's about it that was the last time two top eight for today I think
Everything else concluded yesterday
People fire up sorrows after or
More invincible side games on evo J5 are there any good
six because they always show interest uh
megaman battle network what the f**k
modern mode and i'm going to point it out
bb tag i mean christ g
soulcaliber six is a bit later that'll be fun
like to try but also just i want to see soulcaliber six
like you know what i ain't got time for this arcade stick nonsense that's crazy
you know whatever say that but being able to adapt to a new way to
line the game and i'm sure yeah it's token time we're pretty much getting the
the token announcement.
We'll see.
I don't know what the heck they were teasing, bro.
They were teasing something.
Kind of hard to tell.
Yeah, literally every match was just an infinite or kind of
like take away starts go fatal KO, right?
But the coolest part was.
Has there been any cool trailers?
Somewhat, you know.
Apparently Robert being Mr. Karate is not new.
People forgot about maximum impact too, apparently.
And I didn't even know his bitch ass was in that.
And we played that game a couple times.
I was like, damn, that's crazy.
That's actually crazy.
I want Blade or Black Panther or more. I want Blade!
Of course!
Between those two, I want the character that has never been in a fighting game before.
Of course, Blade, holy shit!
Blade's overdue!
I mean, shout out to L.I. Joe as well and James Chimp for holding down the Darkstalkers as well.
Like, it's been so sick to see these games and that's another unique thing about Japan.
It's Japan's evil, specifically.
There's a sunlight on my face. It is. It is daytime. It is indeed daytime.
It's the second time we've had sunlight on the face.
And we had Shidoche on the mic talking about that with the boys as well.
Him and Ryan Hart on the mic. I mean, Ryan Hart, a legend in his own right.
Chance of a Midnight Suns team for Tokon probably near zero
At this point
I still just want Venom
You know on Luna's no I dude bitch. I said that Luna snow is gonna be in the game
I made that prediction like a year ago or some shit
Maybe not a year ago like nine months ago
What extremely obscure hero would you want for telcon I want to get
The character that like is actually the most popular and the most requested like we talk about these obscure
Marvel characters and they're like
Wanda, you know, I'm like what like scarlet witch, and I'm like Jesus
These
These non-comic book lords don't understand the glory
that is the most legit character that all the kids love which is Maverick like
Maverick is actually the best character you could possibly add to Tokon. He's like
legit dude. This zoomer ass character that everyone's super into. I don't get it how
He has not been added yet
I don't get it
Look at him. He'd be perfect
It has begun
They have a translator
Good morning everyone, it is August 26th, Day 3.
I'm Takashi Yamanaka, the producer of Marvel Pokemon Fighting Souls.
And I know everyone's excited to watch some Tekken, but before that we do have some new information to share.
I
Was Omega red I'd shit a chicken
If we got like a modern anime interpretation of Omega red I would just shit a chicken
A live chicken
Not shit on a chicken
produce a live mature chicken from my butt
Some somehow I would do it on stream
They would be like BAKAK!
And shit and run away.
A fully matured and aged chicken.
I'll manifest it.
An adult chicken, not an egg.
No, we're skipping that shit.
So currently we're hard at work on development on Marvel Token Fighting Souls, and we are happy to say that it will be coming out in Japan simultaneously on PC and PS5 on August 7th.
Pre-orders are currently available, so thank you to everyone who's done so.
I'm really going to have to buy a very convincing looking chicken, right?
We're going to have to at some point.
I think I'll, maybe we should do that before Summer Games Fest.
I'm gonna have to buy a very convincing looking like you know they sell them like a feathered and shit like that
For the bit. Yeah, I'm gonna have to we need I just need to have it like right every single time
There's an event or an announcement just say it and I'll just have it right off screen
For the one day that it happened a taxidermied chicken
And Marvell Tocon Fighting Souls, that Arc System is similar to Booth, and now they are making a collection.
They are putting together Pad, Stick, and Rebarless.
And we can collect them up to 15 today.
It's pretty smooth.
People are playing.
And if you come to play during the day, it would be great.
People are playing.
Thank you for your time.
And Marvel Token Fighting Souls, the playable demo is available today at the Arc System Works booth here at Evo Japan.
And it will be available until 3pm today, so you can line up and get your hands on the game and experience it for yourself. Thank you.
I'm literally translating.
So just one thing before we show you the new team trailer we have for you.
We would like to announce that we will also have a playable demo of the game available at Combo Breaker coming up in Chicago.
Oh, okay.
And it will be available at Hong Kong Comic Con.
So be sure to stop by.
They're going to do another beta.
So, combo breakers aren't even that far away, Chad, right?
Combo breakers in like, what?
A week or two?
20 seconds.
I was like, three weeks.
All right, baby, here we go.
The challenge of the champion!
We have a series of knockouts, and the winner gets a crack at the big guys.
All selected leaders have saved their invites. Good luck.
You know what, promoter? This planet is not your playground.
Duty calls, and I am.
Tony, let's give your stew to work out.
Saving the world? Sure, I got you.
I
Loaded okay, let's party
You fight the future
Rest is up to you. What's interesting? I meant it's something interesting
Thank God he's in it bro. Thank God. I was getting worried here, dude. Damn. He's got some big ass legs. Holy shit
Yeah, thank god dude, that was getting worried.
Yes, I want a good fucking bruise.
Yes!
Yes, okay.
Yeah, okay.
What?
What the sh-surey did it do?
What?
Oh shit, wow.
I'm sorry sister as am I. Let's fight. Wow. Okay. You got this shriek.
I'm ready for this. Damn the stage though. Holy crap. The stage. Wow.
Oh, stronger than everyone. Oh, Sparrow. He's got the voice.
Fight together. We win together. Now you will see it's okay.
Wait, not to be Avengers. Avengers. Assemble.
Okay
All right
All right. All right. Damn not bad. I liked it. I liked it
What's that did it flicker
Yeah, I made the assumption that Thor was not going to be in it a while ago.
I'm like, I think Thor is the one that we can take out.
You know, but it'd be very weird if we got a, a Marvel fighting game that didn't have
Hulk.
Like that was always very bizarre to me.
Yeah.
But now we know the fighting adventure is a team that you will be playing in Marvel
Tocan fighting souls yo damn bro why shuri was definitely an interesting choice you know
For them not to go with traditional BP
No T'Challa interesting
Interesting
I like the fact that she doesn't fight this with claws. She actually has the spear. I'm like that's neat
original big yeah we already got T'Challa and NBCI you know we gotta go
back and check it out hold on I just did picture-in-picture let me pull up the
trailer hold on a second let me find the trailer let's go review it
Iron man can do more stuff as well
No views one minute ago. All right
Chill Justin and Steve chill. Let's go back and look
The champion been confirmed as the baddie is dope. It certainly seems that way
Is the champion the guy with the hair
Is he the one that has like is he that guy are they really going for that on wait a minute?
Marvel the champion. Oh, let me show you guys what this fucker looks like. Yep, that's him.
It's this huge asshole. It's this guy. He's going to get redesigned. I mean, I don't
think he's going to be looking exactly like that, but it's this guy. Somehow a majestic
head of hair and still balding it's a unique trait hold on a second hold up
hold up hold up hold up so is that him he just looks like Dracula
nah they changed him up a bit they changed him up a bit okay okay okay he's
He's now like, he now looks like Slayer, yeah.
Want me to go back and look at gameplay stuff?
Did they change some things?
What was that? Hold up, hold up, hold up.
It was just DP. It was anti air in the tag.
Interesting iron man. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. This is what I saw earlier. I don't remember if
he could do this bitch like air dashed out of his unique. Interesting. He air dashed
out of his missiles. This thing like locked him into position pretty hard before the
The foot jet is normal, he had that before, but this, whoa dude, yo, that's kinda neat.
That's kinda neat.
Every blow is a strike for justice.
I want, I want, I, I'm gonna be real.
I want the classic Holt outfit.
I really do.
I want the classic outfit, dude.
He's got too much bullshit on him.
Whoa.
Big rock?
He really sounds like MVC3 Hulk. Yeah, I know it's Planet Hulk Savage Hulk
But I want I want him to have an OG classic Hulk outfit, you know
So wait what you get like a is this an armor ball?
And he has a gamma charge like straight up has gamma charge
He's got jump-clapped.
You look at the, this bitch is more Potemkin
than he ever has been.
Right? He has the Potemkin body portions.
What is this?
I feel like it's the autocrompo.
He animates very well.
She also gets a buff. They both get buffs.
Well, go back. I want to see. I want to see. I want to see this sequence.
So crazy that these are the Avengers, right? They put Black Panther in there. I guess that makes sense.
Wow, dude, what is this super?
That is literally, literally broly shit, dude.
This is literally broly shit.
That's pretty funny.
That's kind of hilarious, dude.
It's not even being apologetic about it.
We fight together, we win together!
Now we will see true strength.
Avengers, assemble!
So glad we get to show like the big level fours now.
Champion Buster is online.
Try it, let's show them something special.
Now, try!
Rawr!
All right.
What was this thing in the end?
We need other classic character costumes. We need we need more
I want a Hulk classic I want to wait people to mod it in
So it glitches a little bit
It's green
It's probably team doom next right it's either teasing team doom
or it's Mysterio, or some shit.
Aha, this is revealing some interesting stuff.
Scratching out Spider-Man's face, a number next to Doom, there's a Doom face over here.
It is a high probability of being Green Goblin.
Potentially a high probability, but who knows?
It could it could be green goblin it. I think it is going to be a spider-man adversary of some kind
Which would make sense
Let's frame by frame it
So there's text over here where my uh, where my whole bitch ass faces
There's text on the left that is not immediately apparent
It pops up
So spider-man spider sense is also dammit
I mean, I'm dissecting the shit out of this.
Spider-Man currently has spider sense,
like something is about to happen to him.
And then number five gets revealed
and all of the interesting, interesting.
Yeah.
I definitely think it's a Spider-Man villain,
which is good because we need more bad guys, right?
There's actually not a ton of bad guys, dude.
What'd you say, three, six?
Hold on, like over there, where's 3-6, where are we seeing this, 3-6-1 is the last number?
Bottom left, oh, there we go, that's the only thing that's legible down there, 3-6-1.
hmm yeah they all they all kind of say three six and then three six one hmm
spider-man 361 is carnage's first appearance or is it 136 361 is the
comic books carnage appears in hold on a second carnage first appearance
Damn bro. Garnage's first appearance was in the Amazing Spider-Man number 361, April 1992.
And here's the thing, this isn't like canonical. This is like, yeah, okay. That would be, that
would be pretty crazy. That would be pretty crazy. I don't think that's a lock, but
It's also pretty obvious, you know?
And it would also be very crazy if the slash marks,
oh shit, I think the green is throwing us off.
Who knows?
We'll see.
Damn, carnage over venom, that is crazy.
Carnage instead of venom though is brutal.
Maybe they would say venom for DLC.
Venom would make a very smart DLC to be completely honest.
Carnage over Venom is insane.
It's not what I would prefer,
but it would be nice to see an official interpretation
of Carnage in a fighting game.
But it also makes a lot of sense
that Venom would be the most obvious DLC character ever,
you know, can't expect NBC stuff, right?
If anything they've shown is that they do not,
they're trying to like,
as much as the core characters they wanna have,
they're trying to deviate
from the things that have existed before.
Black Panther isn't just T'Challa,
Black Panther is the sherry version of Black Panther,
you know, so they're doing opposites in some ways.
Penny Parker is like also a Spider-Man hero,
but not the exact one that you were expecting,
like things like that.
They're trying to,
it feels like they're making an attempt
and it would make a lot of sense if they're like,
so Venom's in everything.
Let's make it Carnage this time, you know?
You don't like that?
Well, I want Venom,
just because I wanna see what arc system works take
on Venom would be.
But here's the thing,
Carnage doesn't have to be the skinny, scratchy Carnage.
They can have some crazy interpretation of him, you know?
But who knows?
This could all be bait, dude.
This stuff right here and the scratches
and the scratching out Spider-Man,
like all of this is extremely, like obvious.
All of it is like super, like pretty obvious.
So either they're giving us hints
or they are not being coy about it, you know?
They're clues, but even the previous, previous teesers did not have that much of a clue.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's something even crazier, but using the 361 is pretty, is
pretty crazy.
The 361 is the big one, bro.
And then it waits and then it pops up.
Why is there a hashtag next to doom?
Oh, it's team doom on team doom because there's the doom face over here, but it is carnage.
There you go.
Okay.
They're making more sense.
Making more sense.
Yeah, he's on team villain or something like that.
Do we know?
We actually don't know what the Helldooms team is.
We have no clue.
361 number, Spider-Man, yeah.
Yeah, Amazing Spider-Man 5 is the first appearance
of Doctor Doom.
Is there a five?
Oh my God, are you kidding me?
Yeah, they're definitely, okay, they're setting that up.
Is that true?
Doctor Doom first appearance.
It's first appearance is in the fantastic for number five.
It's kind of connecting, right?
It's, it's starting to connect.
So I think, I think, yeah, I think it's pretty safe.
I would be shocked if it was anything else.
I'm pretty sure we're looking at team Dr.
Doom and carnage is on it.
Who else is on it?
It's probably going to be bad guys.
Ain't no other character is going to be teaming up with Doom and Carnage, bro.
Wait a minute, hold on a second. I have to go back.
I have to look up our token horseshit.
Let me look up our token horseshit. I have to find it.
Our prediction stuff
Video drops
Where is it and
Let me just open Photoshop. Hold on a sec chat
I have to see because it was definitely my prediction ain't no way you're releasing this game with a Hulk without the Hulk
But I had a funny feeling that you could leave out for like Thor doesn't have to be there and it seems like that's what they're doing
Here's the Marvel token hit list for
2026
And. So that happened.
The Spider-Man team got fucked.
Spider-Man ended up being weird.
It was Spider-Man, Marvel, Star Lord and.
Fucking penny.
Team Doom Venom is getting replaced with.
Potentially carnage.
So I'm still thinking that you got magic right now.
This is when this is when we knew, I think.
This is when we knew we knew this already.
I don't think I predicted that.
So, yeah, we still don't know what the hell Team Ghost Rider is,
which could be, you know, theorized midnight suns or some shit like that.
You didn't predict danger, you stupid bitch.
There's no way I predicted danger.
This we knew.
I mean, and that's also her official visual.
So no, I did not.
That's also the cute danger, not what the old one is.
So Doom Carnage.
I would be down if it was Doom Carnage Magneto Thanos,
but I would probably probably want to get a bad check in there, too.
When on Team Symbiotes.
I don't know if they're going to dedicate that chat.
The teams don't make any fucking sense, dude.
Like the closest one that makes sense
is technically Avengers, technically.
Cause three out of four of them are like,
like absolutely no Avengers in the shirt.
You can do Hella, yeah.
Team X-Men makes sense, but without like,
there's two rug pull characters in there
and they're not Storm and Wolverine
where it's like, whoa, okay.
Then they're not the expected characters.
So you have to think that they're not gonna do
the obvious expected shit. Like the thing that is the tried and true easy, easy character,
easy option. They're going for like rug pull things. So I think honestly, Carnage, if he
is on a doom team is kind of a rug pull where it's like, whoa, that's crazy. Wouldn't, wouldn't
expect that you'd expect something different. I think even having a different Spider-Man
villain like a Doc Ock or some shit or or a Green Goblin or something like that would
probably be even more expected it being it being carnage is kind of like whoa
that's crazy either way the shocker uh yeah i don't know i would be i would be literally shocked
no pun intended if it is anybody else but carnage at this point because that's just
too much information dude scratch out the number five the 361 the doom hashtag thing
Number, number five. Yeah. Eight slashes, Doc Ock maybe. Now I think this is Carnage
Claws. I don't know. Carnage got claws and shit. It's Vega. Yes, that's it. Exactly
what we wanted. It's Vega. No, there was a reveal. There was a big reveal. Very large
reveal. Dude, his body type is 100% Potemkin. He's much closer. Look at the size of this
bitch's hands, bro. Do you really don't like his face? Really? Hold on. I don't know if
I have any issue with it. This might be the game I play hulking. We'll see. I actually
legit want to try him. But he's weird he has like an install and stuff.
Little black man said Hulk away.
Huh.
Why you don't leave Hulk alone?
Nah, you don't like the hair. Is maybe that it? Seems fine. Seems fine to me.
I just actually don't like the costume very much. Yeah, I just want his big buff ass. That's all I want
That's what I it's what I desire
He doesn't seem to be a grappler. He shouldn't be Hulk should not be a grappler
He has the body type of a Potemkin, but he should not be a grappler dude
Yeah, so he has like an armor install or something this reminds me a lot of Broly holy crap
where he literally gives himself the anti-fireball buff, and he goes through the projectile.
By the way, also, more shit that blasts through Doom's molecular shield thing.
Right.
Even more shit that goes through this goddamn shield that everything else tends to go through.
You got him big guy!
Yeah, this is like a hit grab.
So you guys like the puny human thing?
So cool when they're actually tagging each other, man, this game is so neat.
track as well. Yeah, instead of him doing, you know, the entire pick up the rock and
land like a meteor, he just chucks big boulder now, you know. All right. All right. All
right. All right. I'm definitely curious to see what Hulk plays like. Let's go back.
time
on the second
doesn't look like it
nothing reason
obviously always really good
but obviously this is probably going to be one of the biggest times he's going to be able to do this
we saw him at Tiger uppercut really perform a couple of years ago
so obviously he has a
we do have something
Iron Man
and Black Panther
brand new team fighting Avengers
led by Captain Newly formed Avenger Squad comes together to confront a new fate, a new threat
facing Earth as heroes watch closely and admire greatly people around the world. We hope you're
looking forward to seeing how they rise to the challenge in episode mode. New stage Wakanda,
Wakanda backstory, new playable Hulk. Strength grows with this rage. Hulk once
fought alongside the Avenger to save the world. However, in token his overwhelming power and
instability led the government shield than his fellow team-mates, Katharine and Ironman,
to exile him to the savage land. He must be pissed. There, Hulk lives a quiet life surrounding
by nature and animals, but his distress of the Avengers has yet to fade, but he's on their team.
During development, Hulk's backstory was established early on while staying true to
the core design concept of a massive gamma-radiated powerhouse. Elements inspired by his
narrative were incorporated into his design. Hulk adorns himself with the dinosaur bone armor,
Anger and team fighting style, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can overpower opponents at any range with sheer force, any range?
Channeling his anger builds his unique gamma gauge.
When it reaches maximum, Hulk enters gamma rage, which significantly boosts his strength
and speed.
So like baby Broly, I'm sorry, like S Broly, when he gets naked, hmm, interesting.
has his own personal X factor?
Build up the gamma gauge and unleash devastating one shot
attacks just at the right moment to deal massive damage.
Interesting, I'm curious.
Curious how that's going to play out.
The third approach is to make critical decisions
not only as a warrior, but as a queen
most balanced tradition and progress.
We decided to include her in the roster.
Her character backstory was discussed and established early
on, recently taken at the mantle of Black Panther
alongside her existing role as Wakanda's chief scientist.
Shuri's design reflects this important transition.
Sleek, athletic lines emphasize a sense of speed
befitting the acrobatic fighter
while preserving the primal wildness.
At the same time, subtle touches of Wakandan royalty
are woven into the finer details,
reflecting the weight of leadership.
In combat, Black Panther excels
at swift movement and long reach
at the spear of Bashanga.
And she possesses a high speed mobility skill
called Bast's Blessing,
allowing her to dash in multiple directions.
Fast Blessing consumes a dedicated gauge, Jill, but it can be canceled from normal attacks
and skill, but it can be canceled from normal attacks and skills.
Wait a minute, she's like Sin, but she can go in like eight-way air dash maybe?
Huh.
That sounds pretty fascinating.
mid-range battles with precise spear attacks and then close the distance with lightning-fast
momentum to overwhelm opponents. Interesting. The champion, one of the elders of the universe,
champion has existed since the birth of the universe and travels across the cosmos alongside
his right-hand showwoman promoter, a cosmic conqueror obsessed with hand-to-hand combat,
he journeys from planet to planet in search of worthy opponents. Those who fail to satisfy
its source for battle face the ultimate consequence the destruction of the whole world and now
his next target is earth under promoter's direction the challenge champion tournament
has been announced teams of four will battle through qualifiers yada yada yada but is there
something more sinister uh game than just a sport the fighting of enders into the tournament
and it's one of the leading contenders yeah yeah um did you enjoy the hands-on demo at evo
I truly appreciate it next up will be bringing the newest playable build a
to Combo Breaker and Hong Kong Comic Con.
Damn, I didn't know that existed.
May 22nd and 29th, the build will include the newly announced,
wow!
Oh, it includes Black Panther in the Wakanda stage
for a total of 13 playable characters in five stages.
So it doesn't include Hulk?
If you're attending either event, be sure to stop by.
Development is entering its final stages
and the entire team is working hard every day
to deliver the best possible experience.
Thank you as always.
Yeah, interesting that Hulk isn't gonna be there.
It's been a bit of a later development.
Cool!
Folks not ready for prime time yet.
Yeah, pretty much.
Secure their spots for that big of a time.
It was neat to see characters getting different abilities
though, like Iron Man was doing new shit.
Things that he did not have access to before, man.
Trying to be outside of being that Evo champion as well.
So you know everybody else who was not qualified,
they got a lot to prove at this point.
Been watching Twitter, seeing how all the players
have been reacting to them getting these spots
as well as qualifying for top eight.
Do them Loki, Carnage, Scarlet Witch, one villain from each team leader.
Could be.
One state of play.
There usually is a state of play in May, there has not been one announced yet.
So what makes me really happy about Hulk being in the game, they have a character that isn't
just a bipedal bitch.
Right. And what was neat about Penny was that Penny started to change that a bit where it's like, okay, we need some weirdos.
It can't just be a bunch of characters just standing tall, right? Like, we need some very large weird characters and stuff, even like some smalls, something like that.
Like, if there's one thing that benefits like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, much less the comic books and all the stuff they're pulling from, there's a lot of weird quirky-ass characters they can pull from.
And that's a bit of the model versus Capcom DNA, you know, NBC DNA.
That's like the whole point of it was that they they really dip their toes into
the Marvelisms and pulled some weird shit out of the bucket.
And then also Capcom pulled some weird shit out of the bucket for their side.
That's a spirit that I want to continue.
You know, I don't want it to be kind of like Dragon Ball fighters where
they never got that crazy.
You know, that makes the game big brawley.
Obviously a couple of them.
and then like the rat.
They never got really that crazy though.
Maybe that's why they want to do Carnage, if Carnage is happening instead of like Venom because he's weird, you know?
They can make him weird.
to change up how you're gonna fight a bunch of these matchups and obviously it's not the biggest but
not having an additional combo starting man you gotta change up how is there a uh is there a
Japanese player? Here we go these guys are getting set up to get ready for the first match of our top
eight here at Evo Japan 2026 it begins now eight inter one leave and we're gonna have a champion
maybe a pity champion for Evo Japan Tekken 8 here we go and the Asusena I told you
I tell you he was like yes, Steve. I'm thinking about this awesome center
He told me this yesterday. I did believe him and we got it in action, but Akari doesn't care the thing is Steve
Why would he do that? If anybody does find the Japanese trail?
Let me know like her pokes or small
I'm curious about the stance weeding that she can apply with pressure like what do you think attracts?
Oh, it's on it. No, I don't see Ultron making it in we actually made that presumption kind of early on
I don't think Ultron's making it in Bob's not here yet
Kusumi's not in the game and Dragon off is not the same as any one of those characters
However, she's got a bunch of auto-pairy moves that you got to have knowledge to call up
She also has a lot of tricky launchers
Especially out of liberation stance that you need to be aware of and on top of that just the fact that if you're not aware
How to properly deal with these dances she gets an additional mix-up and the carry is crazy as well
And I'll see what happens and also Steve we've been talking about the stances
But just look at the news that he's been using so far to building a frame advantage
Checking you with the high midstream just kind of seeing where a car he's thinking are you going to think they'll add venom with the twist of barfing or something
What are you looking for just because of all the teasers that that's at the end of the trailer? I don't know
You could see right now like one of the things you already saw from old sign is that little
Unfamiliarity of we see with the characters obviously we know that he's all tried and true dragon all player great block right there should be
The car made it all the way to winners he was the dude that put on a mega show
second world tour no ramen noodles thanks for the five well it'd be perfect
because all the symbiote students were in this mousse a arrow Joss thank you
that's junior try again TV Piva Ellen the real fresco you Jimbo be Javan
secret boss, Neymar's Eclipse, common writer. Thanks, dude.
Hellsweep for the mixup, the Kazia classic, still not dead.
And there it is, the downback for the Stature Kick to get the W.
Yeah, I got checked before the wall, he came to play there.
Sorry now. Confidently gonna sweep the, open the round. At least we...
Look, we always talk about this. If you're gonna play a Maschima specifically, Kazia,
you can't be afraid to Hellsweep. It has to be a constant threat.
You gotta mix it in with the game. Otherwise, I feel like whoever you're fighting
fighting is gonna be a little less you know reluctant not to attack yo we're
pixels thank you very much to engage but here we go
especially at this level especially gets a play with reaction this good
all songs but timing is everything too yo the lonesome at it
oh it looks again the demon paul demon paul with the wall
oh that right there i'm alone i like the mid and the patricide
Mr. Phoenix, here we go!
Come on!
Oh, no!
I'm sorry.
Let me explain.
Challenge of the Champion!
I've given the title to a leader like you!
I'm so happy that you're all here.
The only team I've won is the champion!
The world's best player,
I'm sure you'll be the champion of the fighting world.
This planet isn't your friendship!
As long as I'm alive,
This world is not over yet. This is the ultimate test of armor.
The world is saved.
This is what it is.
Japanese voices are kind of a vibe.
Wait, wait. I don't think I have ever heard an actual Japanese Hulk before. Alright? I don't know if I've ever heard a Japanese Hulk before. Here we go.
I don't know if I like it very much.
Oh dear.
I
Sounds like Patrick
Yeah, sure he does that much of an identity.
Sounds like kind of like a lot of the other characters
All right, all right, I
I think Captain Iron Man's sound really good.
Alright.
I wonder if it'll do a thing like Marvel 3 had, where you can choose English or Japan.
I wonder if it'll do a thing like Marvel 3 had where you can choose
English or Japanese for each character
That would be neat
Yes, we saw the end of the trailer 30 minutes ago when it was shown off
then going forward armor we've seen a lot more than back turn from also so far
but there we go gets the sidestep clean launch and also in position to close out
this round here I was legit worried that Hulk wasn't gonna make it into the
game for a second there and I'm like that is just crazy that's supposed to
be crazy if Hulk wouldn't be in the game
and every time all son has been trying to approach even multiple
electrics just because he wants to go forward Akati is looking for you to take
a step cross the line get electric
Garton a really good job of space control with those but he won't make it. I think that'd be smart.
This time from Olsson potential chance to reversal fortune
we haven't been seeing much of that. Deadpool hasn't been a fighting game character
technically for 15 years. Right where we said in that last round 25 seconds left
on the clock and catching you ducking Olsson gonna take that section.
That was the same for Wolverine if he wasn't going to make it. Yeah, pretty much.
What about Thor? Leave him out!
Thor's been in everything for the past like, forever, dude.
He's been in everything.
And it was our prediction early on that Thor was not going to be in the main roster.
But they could do more interesting characters than that.
I don't think the DLC will be a team right it will be like a team, but will the team like
make full sense no like it'll be crazy shit it'll be like Thor and Venom and Howard the
Duck and Magneto team up for Team Earth 356 in and out crew.
Like, it'll be like, it doesn't make any sense, but they'll make sense of it, you know?
They're just gonna make some shit up, exactly.
That's what I'm saying is that like the thematics of each team will not make the most sense
Team Waffle House employees
There's the big boss in the trailer that's the champion google him you'll be mind blown
I
Was a chance there could be more stuff that happened
There's a chance there could be more stuff that happens after checking like an ounce of wise it could be something
There's probably gonna be a pretty much a trailer. I think that's already been confirmed, right?
Can you miss a trailer at the end?
I'm sure she'll be fucking crazy
I'm sure she'll be fucking crazy.
They're going to take the 10 forward Leon Donald Duck and Paul things that make no sense.
One team reveal per month pretty much.
That's what I think they're doing.
the remainder of each team per month.
No Gambit or Rogue? No, I don't think they're making it anytime soon. They're background characters.
They show up. They ain't showing up anytime soon.
Now Street Fighter 6 ain't showin' nothin' here, Ingrid. Ingrid is the next thing that's
comin' out, that's all you're gonna get ads for. And we've already gotten the Ingrid
gameplay trailer, so it's just waiting. I don't think we're getting any announcements
from Capcom at all. Watch them announce Ultimate Marble 3 with rollback netcode. Watch. Watch
me shit a chicken live on stream you called it how old son is so active
especially with lateral movement in some of these situations and it's one way
that you can take advantage of a positive sentence kind of small attack and
like that right with some of these are costume trailer sure sure I was
sniffing that out whether it be with hell sweet whether be that rockin at the
very end to be able to click with going going that way down for two in some
such in some cases it's it he has done an excellent job of being able to
call out these side steps in big moments when it matters to be able to
get returned for it.
Tifa's birthday in Japan.
A mid-low game?
Or is it going to be this size there?
Yeah, you guys hold on to that.
Yeah, you guys hold on to things that aren't real.
Just keep going with that, OK?
Keep it up.
And the switch, this is what got them to the big money
at EWC, got them those championships.
We go back to the dragon often.
You can't help but think Akati was thinking
about this the entire time.
I was just about to ask you.
I was like, OK, if you're down to 1 and a first to 3
like this, do you swap with your old son?
I would think you have to, right?
I mean, but we've seen him in this position before, man,
where he's had to make these big comebacks.
And let's see if he's going to be able to fight this.
But I also feel like he's going to be able to fight this.
Also, I'm doing what he always should have done.
You don't have the movement available.
You don't have those checkmate situations
where you've got to deal with the streams as much.
O'Sarge, Axi, I feel like put himself on the ropes
right now, and another launcher on the side of Akane.
Yeah, this might even turn in some of these interactions
into, like, a more binary game for Ikari,
especially because he seems very well studied
for this player match-up especially.
I said, bro, it ain't no way he wasn't looking for this laser and just a back to the closet.
Yo, this dude, the cottage is looking way too good right now.
You've done us up in a joint technique more than the Street Fighter six lately.
Lately, you mean since 2024?
Lately.
Mib strikes.
And there we go.
We find the engagement.
OK, lately right into the low shot.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God, was he going to convert that shit?
in the hell sweet Dean the power quest he's trying to keep that momentum lately on the
cosmic scale ah yes late anything out punish nothing that's how you know he's on the ropes
did dr. Doom do something to shallas sorm says it in her intro takes off the hair
faults cut off his gen his genitals i think that's what he did it was very disrespectful
he's trying to prevent like any sort of legacy from continuing
Oh, they dance castrated disaster fucking bullshit. It's crazy. They're pissed
It's fucked up. I know he's evil. It's a bad guy
Down for one rock in the mid strikes activate try to be great patience on the side
Armour nice looking for the counter. He didn't get it spins the rest of the heat look for the health
Sweet small punish 20 seconds left heat smash not gonna eat them or burst out. No throw break
To a cottage stays alive Wow and knocks all son to the loser side of this top eight here at
Evo Japan like our system that more than four characters. It is just four characters a year
It's just four characters a year
yo
Olson in this first match and we saw like I said before I was actually talking to Olson yesterday
And I was like yo, what are your thoughts going into this man?
Cuz it seems like people know what the expect when they see you now
They know the dragon office coming. What is the play? He's like actually Steve
I got the awesome center in the back pocket, and I was like really I was like awesome
Center, he's like yeah, and we saw all the technique he's having
Bork patches the last one was not
The last one like fix the bunch of shit
It was actually just like I said class ac copy of play. He did a really good job of initializing out the center
Which is mid-range controls especially in space control. He was using like the way he used electrics
Then also a lot of those mid options that also have tracking in addition to health sweet
He had a really good read on all songs lateral movement and that came out of big big ways
Really really played out in the big way there
But like you said to with the Dragon all players seems like a common trend this season a lot of them talking about like either pocket
other pocket picks or
Maybe other options
Soon an event does arx's work on DLC characters is it as soon as the game drops or they're working on the DLC before that?
Here just so you understand a bit more about how game dev works
let's take for example if a game comes out and
They're waiting to see if it's successful
For them to make DLC right let's just say that's the case so the game comes out in like July
if they began development after you would not be seeing those characters until
at least the at the very earliest mid to late 2027 to 2028 it would take that
long for that stuff to come online so chat I'm telling you right now the
The entire first DLC season, as well as likely the second DLC season for the game, has been
already figured out for years.
There's a chance that right now they could be gauging pre-orders and interests, and
the third DLC season could be in question about who they add, right now, depending
on how good pre-sales are looking and things like that.
So that's how long DLC is planned ahead of time, they have to, because it gets baked into
the normal development pipeline and then they put teams on it that normally would be developers
for the main game onto DLC squads, or continual support squads, while a lot of the core developers
move on to other projects like the next fighting game you know it takes a long
god damn time
And usually the DLC team is like it could be like a third or fourth. It really depends on the game
It'd be like a third besides
Usually it isn't like half as many developers
I think in the case of like Street Fighter 6 because Street Fighter 6 doesn't just get DLC dude
It gets like swaths of game-changing single-player content as their in-game world
It's adjusted and expanded along with a character, you know
So like Street Fighter 6 is like maximum effort type shit
You get a there's like a lot that happens in the game when you get a new character in SF
So I think that takes a little bit more
Yeah, every time you get a DLC character in Street Fighter you get a massive world tour expansion
And all these like things that you can do with gift and you know bullshit like that
They dropped the full team for me yet. Oh, I like love every single character
I don't know we'll see I have to play some characters, dude
I didn't expect that I was gonna like magic and she ended up being really fun
So I have to like play more not quite
Like do I have like an all-timer team in there not yet. No, not me not
I think I'm like
Omega-Red and damn bit, you know like that shit
That's meeting Penny. Yeah, I'm playing her
Don't even know what she plays like
You're gonna struggle with doom likely
Dilma's gonna serve a very specific role and he's gonna be the mix-up guy because of the left-right, you know?
He's gonna be the mix-up character, but it'll take some time to figure out and iron all that shit out.
Now the teams in Ultimate Alliance aren't really a good
comparison because
Ultimate Alliance and how they chose characters, they chose mostly like pretty popular wanted characters for Ultimate Alliance.
They're not entirely doing that for Tokon.
The goal in Tokon is to give you a fighting game full of Marvel characters that you know
and love, but a lot that you would not expect, and ones that have not historically been in
other Marvel fighting games over the past, like, 30 years, you know?
So they're trying to really switch it up, and they are.
They honestly are.
Shuri taking the spot of Black Panther.
Yeah.
that is there because Black Panther was a you know a character in NBCI they
already did that Hulk is one of those characters that's sort of like Wolverine
that's a given like if the game did not have Wolverine or Hulk you'd be
concerned
And it's only 10 seconds left on the clock. You're gonna have to do something big to make
Arctic break right here. And now 10 seconds left. What do you think?
Where's Venom? You might not make it, because Venom has historically been in the majority of fighting games, you know?
I think Venom's DLC. That's it, man.
The 1-2, and he finishes the string well. Play a small delay on top of that.
I think Venom's gonna be DLC.
Two round straight. Remember, this is first to three this time because of the TWT rules.
and hoppers is looking damn strong right now that brother got some long legs
same i don't like to save it i want Deadpool to make it i do i want to make it
at least if you're says i'm out of here for peace starburst active side step and spin on him
rims still spinning three six would be proud uh activate
okay look at the defense does not want to interact with that heat exchange but steel
It would be pretty crazy if there was a Midnight Suns team, like with Ghost Rider, then Blade
was on it or some shit.
That'd be very cool.
And there'd be some other, like, rug pull characters, that'd be very cool.
Blade just needs to be in a fighting game, man.
That's been arguably one of the biggest, like, cinemasins of the Marvel vs. Capcom
series.
is that we eventually got Dante, but they just never did Blade.
They ended up putting Taskmaster in there and shit,
and he has guns and swords too.
It's like, dude, come on.
Come on.
I remember seeing Taskmaster show up in Marvel 3,
and it was like, this guy over fucking Blade?
What the hell?
Especially if you get in on his terms
and be able to just stick to you like this.
This dragon charge pressure.
Yeah, they literally said they couldn't do blade because it was too similar to Dante
because they already had the sword and gun guy.
It was Deadpool.
So Dante was adjacent to Deadpool.
Who do you think is the lamest character to ever show up in the Marvel vs. Gapcom
series?
Damn!
I know it.
Trish.
That'll be real.
Heh heh heh.
You can like our gameplay,
with choosing Trish
to be a fucking whole character.
Heh heh. It was like...
Frank West, I understand.
I actually...
I understand...
Frank.
But the fact that it was...
Trish over, like, lady,
was already mind-blowing to me.
okay it's pretty crazy yeah people fish has their fans right but it even in very
early of that game I was like fucking trash really fucking trash come on it's
could have been anybody else
Fuzzy ducking starting to come into play right now. You can see off a very very questioning on some of these folks up close
another size step left in the down four two
trying to make some
Now they wanted a female devil may cry character right that's the idea is that they had like Dante and
Virgil and Trish
But
Lady is so much better. It's so much more interesting
Like they have Trish and Gloria, which are the same character, right? They could have messed around with that
But they didn't very much except the costume all I'm saying is that like lady is actually mad cool
She's like legit super cool
But instead they I think they didn't do it because they gave
They gave Dante
Like ladies grenade thing, right? So he had some lady moves already
Right chat focusing watching
Now there's no new talk on team trailer there is none that doesn't exist whatever you think you saw you did not see
and the nation now just really trying to get this wall before that
God damn
Wow, God damn
Okay, okay, okay
as well as Austin plate that steep
it's 2-0 advantage off is right now dude
like I said he's definitely prepared for this
Claudio is fucking mean dude
Did that character even get toned down in season 3 at all?
Jesus Christ dude this character is evil
Yeah, it's still to me a lot of defenses.
He did get huge nerves.
Good.
Very, very good timing.
He's on opposite.
When he wants to go for options.
Press.
Leveraging that Claudio mobility.
Look at this movement on this.
Side step guard as well.
Everything's got the side step right guard.
Working it.
Lots of poking.
Now fix it in the lows now.
Just the sprinkle, right?
I'm trying to get two others at us.
And on top of that, that's going to make sure those side steps aren't too prominent.
That aligns them back up with them, and now you see odds of second guessing it.
Now he's in trouble, cash is out on the heat on both ends.
I like it.
Oh, counter hit.
One plus two, the nunchucks.
I feel like this whole weekend we've seen a ton of deep first defensive usage.
Just as Armour just to be able to break those pressure sequences that some characters
could use.
See, Hoff is there able to leverage it.
Law might be one of the best characters in the game right now, same as it ever was.
To the wall?
Starburst is flashed!
It's a sidestep wall!
Yo, pop out, thank you.
Look at the lock-in! Look at the lock-in! Hit the bell! Hit the bell, bong!
Counter-hitting was fishing for it in the last game. Finally found his mark.
Hopped his over-damage.
Dude, the damage on this is fucking wild!
Oh my God, dude!
Poison arrow, the one-inch punch. Bruce will be proud.
Running away with it. The 4-3 count in it.
All Steve everything's about you did like two hits and he was already at 50 damage this changes everything
Prode the damage the double backpops sir click the dash behind it testing in mid
Spends it. Let me get a little bit of life back. No, he don't either side old-fashioned
Hey in the crowd stands and the wall standing to power to the people
Should kill that tell you your dad your dad. I tried to tell you
In ever so slight overextension on that jab string and it cost him around
the
the ad is that you
have a story of the
common will shredder, anonymous
a machine of her doctor group are
no one else or the lead job and
just a crazy appreciate it is
the most
good
to
hold the barrel of
There's a lot of upsets
Did he literally on did you get nice?
Men I got knocked out too. Yeah
those are the worst positions to get ninth place and second place
might as well dust out of God at the tournament
you just you just leave insanely disappointed
Never got him out with four seconds left on the clock. Oh, yeah
Okay small punish I think about the Korea verse Pakistan exhibition they were not afraid to put off isn't an anchor
But it's like yo we believe in this kid put him up there and he didn't see this second place fucking sucks
No, dude. I hit it a few times
It fucking stinks. Like it really stings. Dark worm, thank you.
You get like third to eight. You're just happy to be here.
You get eight? You get top eight. You get six? I made six. You get third eight. You know what? I made it. We made it pretty far in this top eight.
very far in this top eight. Second pissed off. A lot of people, we always talk about
Pakistan being the strongest region when I'm pissed off. Now this played out in other regions,
man. Look, we know Korea is a beast when it comes to tech. But when you go over and
see the intricacies of the player matchups, how they deal with the matchup person, and
now we're getting to see that in Pakistan. This is probably one of my favorite developments
in tech and being able to see how these different regions match up against each
When it comes to these high pressure, third is rough not for me
Whenever I've gotten third at an event or a tournament or something like that or even like a local
You just you just I made it pretty far the players. So let's take a look at this bracket. Once again
Obama just told you we set up that winners finals match. It's gonna be Korea versus Pakistan
Akati versus
But that's gonna be setting the path to grand finals
But of course, we still got the John versus a K coming up and the
Fucking bracelets does he have listen every year Steve lives?
I think he adds another bracelet.
So by the time he's like 70, his arms are going to be both completely
completely covered in bracelets.
But winning on the loser side, both arms and save this game is not giving
you some more power.
Once again, we always talk about what's presented every time we see
taken eight in the top eight. We're still seeing these same players come out and get the results.
And it's always just a small fluctuation that a path, a one character matchup that can put one of
these players ahead of the other. And that's the development. That's what I like to see in these
high pressure situations. The other thing too is probably to see some rematches as well, Steve,
because I mean, most of the players on Lugerside, the guy that they lost to was still in the
bracket. Oh yeah, man. That's the stakes even higher. That's pride. Time of rebirth,
Thank you points on the line
EWC spots on the line, but of course look we got to pay some bills
Look, I got to catch my breath is getting crazy. I heard take a break
Realistically how many years of DLC support to we expect from token PR said like 10, but you don't know right after this
I think it just depends
Right, I think it entirely depends like there could be a lot of expectations ahead of time, but
Depends like how much do they keep selling?
that's it is is the juice worth the squeeze that's it the only reason they
kept continually coming back to Dragon Ball fighters after all these goddamn
years is that every time they do it the juice I guess is worth the squeeze dude
again MVCI had planned up to 60 characters and that didn't happen so
there's always plans until shit goes down or shit is well supported you know
Guilty Gear Strive likely was not supposed to have another DLC season, but they are and they're just gonna keep continually going, you know
Marvel rivals also sold 10
They also said 10 so I think that's just like an expectation like I think I think what Marvel games?
Likely wants out of these titles granted Marvel rivals is a free-to-play, right?
So you have to make a shit ton of content
But I think their expectation from it is that they want long lasting long supported games, you know
They want things that will continually be around and be supported for a long time
Sounds like an eyeball time from NetEffect. Yeah, exactly. It's just, chat. What, when
you hear that, just thinking from a marketing standpoint, those, those, those words, those
are choice words, right? To have a game say that they're going to have a long, a long
lasting development and support period. What does that make you feel? Pretty confident,
Right?
Makes you feel pretty confident that, hey, if even if I don't get the exact same thing
that I want right now, I'm going to get my thing later, you know?
That's usually the goal behind saying something like that.
Yeah, your investment is going to be secured.
If you don't see your character now, then it could show up later.
There is a downside to that that like, hey, we're going to have a lot of support
because the assumption from us when they said that was in my eyes, that means
they're gonna have a small roster and that ended up being true because they're
launching with 10 characters so it's like yeah that it means that if you don't
in the same way the positive of it is that if you don't get the thing you're
waiting for now it likely can show up in the future you know so either way
there's a positive and a negative around it the negative was that maybe the
game won't have that big of a roster that ended up being true like 20 is not
huge but it's like it is what it is you know they're trying to give you a bigger incentive for investing
Damn they came back quick. They're trying to give you to try and make you feel confident about your investment that they'll return and have cool shit
That's it
Yeah, we initially expected 30 for a 4v4
because even like MVC games and things like that had a lot like Marvel vs. Capcom
MVC 3 launched with what 34 36
Can't remember and eventually gets upwards to like 52
If you ask me, AK, we always talk about Evo Japan 2019.
Damn, John made it all the way.
AK, consistently showing up to your combo breakers,
taking that over some of the strongest techniques of the world.
This is the king that knocked out Arslan, yes.
To get a huge W on this side, especially versus Pakistan.
But he's got to make his way.
What is the overall number of players for every game
approximately?
It is not going to be easier.
It's just got a lot harder looking at it.
But you never know.
But he's got to deal with this.
Because if you look at Steam charts and shit like that,
that's just counting the people that are logged in
and playing online and not counting are they like are they playing ranked are they matchmaking
doesn't mean they are giving that a season three you have to change is right those are just people
playing the game you see from his gameplay that is changed at all if anything i'm gonna say right
now i one of the things i'll always critique him on is that he doesn't do the craziest combos
right but if you have his mix up between the strike anywhere under like 300 people like
If you have like 300 people actually in matchmaking, that game's alive as fuck, dude.
Like, not 300 total players, but 300 people actually in matchmaking?
You have a chance of getting new players. You're not gonna get matches like the fastest,
but you have a chance of actually getting new players and getting a lot of people that are very good at the game too.
At a multitude of levels.
300 is a lot for a fighting game matchmaking, dude.
If if you know and that code serviceable enough to support
mobile connections
And on a thousand
Because that would just be more and it would be even more healthy
Yeah, think about regions so that's what I'm saying imagine in each one of those regions there's 70 players, okay?
Just saying like regionally split up the world into like four different ones and there's like approximately 70 players
per region
And even within that split 70 now
Let's say there's only about 15 players that are actually low level and like 50 plus are mid to high level
That's still a ton
You know you can play for an entire hour of people in your region
With like 10 to 15 players and sometimes get different people every time
You would never know there could be 10,000 people on there could be there could be 20 you would not know
That's what I'm saying fighting games are 1v1 my dude, they're not you don't the popular full teams
So a game can be like completely healthy even if your region only has like 70 people it can seem completely healthy
You know how I know because fatal theory fucking exists, dude
Fatal Fury literally exists. Every single time I jump into Fatal Fury, I'm playing late at night,
I don't have to wait that long for matches, and I get games at any level of skill, from the entry
level to the mid level or anything. And I know people aren't really playing this game,
like comparatively speaking. Damn, that's a little crazy shit.
The South America, that's not my region. I don't get those players, dude.
Look, it's special only it's it may be armor king, but if you block it you're in trouble
I'm telling you right now and this is when you see like the real play come in because obvious a k
Definitely has experience in the matchup
So now he has to go to some of the smaller tricks to see how well
Pakistan versus Philadelphia King a long-time legacy character and I'm gonna tell you right now
This matchup personally I see it's it gets a little finicky for King
from the side of she just got a combo yeah the problem with KOF 15 is that their
matchmaking was always fucked it was fucked for like a year so you just
couldn't get people like there was entire websites dedicated to how whack the
matchmaking was in KOF 15
First to three was time around because of the TWT change.
I like that. Recent changes to the game.
He's starting to use down four three with King one of the better slower mids than he has now.
But it's definitely something that they change.
Let it rip a little more effectively.
They came to watch you.
You don't begin with the waking mix.
Oh, good luck breaking this shit.
No break. You good luck breaking this shit.
Oh, if it was a little late, what was that?
What was that chat?
Was that a two or a one?
I would have been mashing to the whole time
There was a three
Usually on most King throws I'm unless it's giant swing I'm guessing to
Ooh, that was weird.
It actually depends on what input King puts in it could be either. That's what's so fucked, man!
There's like, there's their very little visual indicator.
Of course.
Yeah, Giant Swing is one. And then one on the tech.
The only thing that I uh
And the only thing that I consistently break on king is shining wizard
He's the only one I'm kinda ready for and I still get hit by it's like 8 out of like
2 times out of 10 at least
Cause he has to run up at you, you know
Shining wizard's 1 plus 2, yeah
The call
the round
Jaguar step back I like that step sport this time. Yeah point blank shining wizard doesn't make any fucking sense
I those those will throw me every time
It's a six the main event it only had like near ten times the amount of entrance of it any other game
For the jump in there, the chom with the clutch reaction
if we get this flow conversion into heat.
Takes the O-keep.
In case the wheeze of a zone to work with.
Oh, down one, two.
We're going for the old tools.
King is strong in Tekken 8.
I don't think Strong emphasizes his power level
enough.
That was so good.
King is kind of fucking bonkers in this game.
I think fucking bonkers is a bit more accurate.
From a K straight like better than he ever has been by a metric shit time
He's so fucking scary
Yeah, I don't think he's ever been toned down anytime
Yeah, maybe
No, he did get nerfed because a system nerfed him chat you remember when sidesteps lost to throws
Hahaha, remember when that was happening around like the launch of the game? Remember throws tracked sidestepping?
That was fucking wild man
Holy shit
King was real good then
You had homing throws in heat you could do shit that was fucking insane that was very VF, you know
Oh, it was it was very vf at that point it that's where like the inspiration from like virtual fighters
So because I think that's how it works in vf as well
I'm like they're really trying to copy like how offense works in virtual fighter
But it doesn't really work in Tekken the second isn't isn't a real strike-throw fighting game
He still has all my throws in heat neat neat so they kept him only in heat mode neat
That's why we start to see the down 4 3 from king, but a cage is running away with
Yeah, take ship damage when you break a throw that i'm glad that took that away
Close
What is technically not a strike through a fighting game. Uh, Tekken is not a striker of fighting game strikes
I
Yeah, no, it's not Tekken is a as a footsie punish game
The 3d footsie punish game
Oh shit that was cool
like the number one thing you got to understand in a strike throw fighting
game is that the throws have to be really fucking good like the universal
throw so most of the time they're unreactable
Tekken throws are you know outside of some crazy shit on King very visually
reactable and here's the thing you can be thrown out of attacks in this game
like if somebody attacks you on the opening frames and you throw you just
win the throw beats the strike unlike virtual fighter where the majority of
the time. Strikes the throws. No matter what, it beats them.
Okay, what you gonna do with it? Rory and drop kick out of the
streets. Good punish. Holy shit. You still got work to do.
Virtual Fighter is the striker fighting game. Yes, it's
literally the striker fighting game. It is the most
down one to the classic moves always do it. Well,
that's true, because the away has virtual fighter DNA in
it might kill you recovered a lot of health but it might be very close I'm
saying is alive damn bro he lived a lot you got enough on the board you fuck
can't can't do enough damage and it's gonna be a time matching favor of 8k he
He says the John away as he moves on, on the losing side of the track, and you know I'm
a king.
So Caliber is kind of like Tekken, is that there's way more movement.
So Caliber is pretty much Tekken with crazy-ass normals and a lot of movement.
It's much more hectic.
It's not a strike-throw game.
Breaking throws and stuff like that in So Caliber, well, because it has a guard
button, it's a bit different, but it's not really a strike-throw game, you
know?
The throw tech windows and SC are pretty huge
I think pretty much is gonna be the same room tech and seven. I think she'll probably be fucking nuts pretty crazy
not fail to deliver. We got an amazing top eight building up and we still got some
So Calibur 6 was a bad game IMO. At the beginning it was not particularly the best.
Reversal edge was not a great mechanic but they made huge changes in the first year.
So the current version of Soul Calibur 6 is actually mad fucking cool.
That's true.
Check it out at home.
If you're...
That is Soul Calibur 6 fail.
Several reasons.
Number one, it's called Soul Calibur 6.
Number two, it doesn't look that much better than Soul Calibur 5 or 4.
Number three, Soul Calibur 5 set them up for destruction because Soul Calibur 5 was
rough.
It got rid of most of the things people liked about Soul Calibur.
Number four, the online was balls.
It actually had worse netcode than the current version of Tekken did because it
running on the old Tekken 7.net code not the improved Tekken 7.net code. Um, what else? That's
about it. That's about it. It should have been a reboot because it practically was like an in-universe
reboot, you know? It went back to SoulCalibur 1 designs and stuff. So yeah, I don't know.
Oh, and it also just visually did not look crazy.
It was kind of like, I don't know, is it a Soulcalibur 2 reboot?
No, it's a Soulcalibur 1 reboot.
If you look at the designs in Soulcalibur 6, compare the pre-existing characters to
SE1.
Oh, it also had a smaller roster of any Soulcalibur game at launch ever.
The launch roster of Soul Calibur 6 was no shit the smallest. Like, maybe Soul Edge doesn't count?
There's less characters in Soul Calibur 6 than Soul Calibur 1. Technically.
Alright. There is some clones in SC1, I get you. What? No shit. That's, it was insane.
But yeah, look at like characters like Hatsurugi, Sephiria,
You know to leak a lot of them look at their designs and then look at so calver one version of them and realize
They're the same. They're just like upgraded. They visually look like oh, they're like the same shit
And also yeah, their guest character did not have the the pole
Geralt Jerry of the River was not
The extreme like, you know, pull of a character. They thought it was gonna be
That's a side using all that armor using all them to be honest if they launched with to be oh, I think they would have been in a
Better position
Here's the thing now Jerry was very fun, I like them he's actually a very fun character
We're just going to react in place of certain moves.
This character came easily.
We talk about characters that can snowball.
Lydia will actually roll you up and push you down a hill.
That's how good she is at it.
Would you take a soak out or read it over Tekken 9?
Well, I mean, here's what's crazy.
I don't think Tekken 8 is beyond saving
and putting it in a really good spot.
I don't think so.
Frame advantageous like that, right?
Like, I think, unlike Tekken 7,
there were periods of Tekken 7
where possibly the middle of that game
was where it was at its best,
and where it eventually ended up going.
Maybe didn't line up with what everyone wanted.
I think Tekken 8 is probably gonna be the opposite.
I think there's a period of,
I think this game will eventually get better
and better and better as time goes on,
even though it's been rocky so far, dude.
It's been rough so far.
But I think there will be a period of time,
as it's like a year later after now, you know,
a year and a half,
Once they get to like season, uh, season like four,
then all that kind of shit, I think it'll have like a Street Fighter V aspect
where it'll end up being really good.
I like the time it's done, it'll be really good.
Cause there's some very fun shit in Tekken 8, it's just that it's...
The characters are very fun, but it also is a very frustrating game mechanically, you know?
It can be very frustrating.
So I don't know, my prediction is that eventually T8's gonna be in a good spot.
And people are gonna end up saying good things about it.
Just like Street Fighter V
Yeah, Tekken 8 isn't really...
You guys think Tekken 8 is as bad as Street Fighter V?
Brother
Anybody that was actually there for the launch of SF V can tell you that is not the case
No
Like, Street Fighter V was bad
It also had like no content, dude
Like, Street Fighter V had nothing for you to do
In the first like six months
And you had to wait for a really bad story mode
Now Tekken launched like fully featured as holy shit. I didn't have all the arcade endings and shit, but I had like a really fun story mode
great online
Much of goofy game modes and stuff and all this extra stuff with customization like
Nah, dude like Street Fighter 5 was
Bad like it was the worst I've ever seen of any the worst reception
I've ever seen for any like big respected fighting game
Like it was like worse than smash brawl type shit because at least people liked smash brawl
No, dude, it was it was rough
So caliber five was also rough it was
But I can tell you personally I've been through worse
as somebody that like wanted Street Fighter 5 to do well but like got very little enjoyment out of playing that game
I wanted it to eventually become something good that happened legit happened
Nothing's worse than MVC Infinite
Now Street Fighter 5 was actually worse
No shit
The only the difference between it is that they gave up on infinite for it to become better
And Street Fighter 5 they committed to it. No Street Fighter 5 was worse
Infinite had a story mode, bro
It sucked, but it had things to do in it and it had better online
Had legit better online than Street Fighter 5
It was more fully featured
So now I'm not with you. I'm not
I'm not with you. I
Think I think Street Fighter 5 was like anybody says like Mortal Kombat 1 was so bad techniques so bad, you know like
None of this shit compares to SF5
Like they betrayed their fanbase, a complete betrayal on day one, like it was...unlike anything.
to be finished
Yeah, these are the dark years, bro. These were the dark years
They could have thrown Street Fighter to the walls. Well, they would never do that
Right because they weren't making as they were making more money on Street Fighter 5 than even NBCI because they were splitting revenue on
NBCI most likely
Tag 2 is pretty bad, you know
Block repunish
Take two is rough
The time they're not that bad
working on his paper big time
Cancel that time with the answer here
One of the coolest hot kicks in the game
I like the beat-ups great range
Approach a little bit, but baby baby flash duck in the launch touch the sky
Activation
You thought the dark years of cap on fighting was 3d till Street Fighter 4 so it was and then the dark years happen again
in the mid 2010s from about like
2014 to
Kind of like 2020 almost like legit who's rough dude
And it wasn't that they were dark the dark years were just dark literally because nothing was happening
That was the dark years
I'm sorry 20 no no 2012 because the street fighter cross-tech and the reception on that was also very bad
That started it
It was there were games there was three big games, but they all
We're either very underwhelming or didn't meet expectations or had obvious huge problems
And a couple of them I think we're actually like could be considered pretty good games like Street Fighter Cross Tekken is like a pretty interesting game
NBC I could be a really interesting game. I don't think Street Fighter 5 was an interesting game at the start
It was just, you could barely do anything, it was nuts, but anyway, that was like the
whole reason that happened in that time framechats was that Capcom needed to turn around.
So if that didn't happen, they wouldn't be in the spot where we're at right now.
Like legit, complete like management changes, a ton of stuff, the entire company changes
on the back end.
Three Fighter Five ends up becoming a really good game by the time it's done
Yeah, like that
That needed to happen for Capcom to be in the spot because it wasn't just fighting games at the time
It was a bunch of shit dude like a bunch of their releases was just not hitting
Every every one of Capcom's games that were coming out were like seven out of tens and shit
Maybe if they were lucky in eight
And then RE7 happened and that was the beginning of it
We had a video where we talked about this and like broke it down RE7 was the beginning. Yeah
So it was rough and the reason I'm deeply
Attached to this just because I was literally working with Capcom on like things like behind the scenes like
Videos and documentaries and stuff about games so I would just hear about all this stuff all the time
I'm still friends with a lot of those people that don't work there anymore
And it was brutal like
Everybody could everybody that worked there knew what they needed to do to be successful and they just refused to fucking do it
For the longest time, you know
to be able to get an opening and he's just shutting him down.
The side step too, it's going to create some opening.
Here we go.
The flash top.
Here we get these gates in here.
Nice block.
Holy shit.
I don't know if this, now you're wasting your heat,
trying to force your turn again,
back in the states.
And it's dying.
Kebaya!
He's testing every opportunity he gets
and making sure you never get to play again.
You bought it earlier when he was going in the wolf stands
like that.
We can't around where he's gonna get chunks of damage like that, but that carries risk and he is punishing for it going for that same option
How to walk like that?
My man is taking advantage right now. My man is taking advantage right now.
Are we going? Bob was all about to.
Okay, going for the tracking move. I like that because he knows he's been sidestipping left for a right quite a bit.
So he goes to the tracking when he's scared.
Alright, here we go. Engage.
Hey! Hey!
Oh god! She's a demon!
the
one that didn't want to
The knee sticking with Brian after the changes. Holy shit
Damn
Now that's everyone hanging out. We're sitting on what like 16 17k viewers or something like that
Big challenge this isn't the big Evo of the year chat that's gonna be going down
At the end of June
That's the big one in Vegas. We'll be streaming it from home
So that'll be a bit different than me going there and hosting an event and doing a big live show
So for a couple of days this year I'll just be streaming it from home.
Um, which will be fun, you know.
What are you streaming, Comma Breaker?
I kinda want to, yeah.
I kinda want to.
Comma Breaker should have some good shit.
Pulling the 12 hour days, it's been brutal the last few days man.
We're on finals day now and we've been trying to like keep up with shit
and also play Invincible and also play Soros.
And this buddy, I am... I miss my family.
I miss my family.
Dude, this is currently on EVO Japan 5 before Soul Calibur.
Look at what they're playing.
Look at this shit. They're playing like Mega Man...
Butt Network, Battle Butt, Star Force, Legacy Network.
It's one of the Mega Man games I have no clue
Exists
Was this quit hating this one of the billion Mega Man games that's on the DS that I have no clue
Star Force intergalactic network fighter
During commercial as well damn it I don't want to call that. They're gonna have Soul Calibur later
I thought this was it.
Oh, Troy! Take Troy! Later, good job!
So it's much more than just playing.
It's being a part of this community.
Is there anything we can do as a community
to make Marvel vs. Capcom 4 happen?
No, we've already done everything.
We've already done everything.
People supported MBC Collection.
Even MBCI, a lot of people
showed up for that shit that I did.
We've done everything we possibly can.
I think if
Marvel vs. Capcom is ever going to have a future,
It's way down the line and to be real the devs literally said this dude like there were in it there interviews with
Matsumoto-san who was like the lead dude on the Marvel vs. Gatcromb collection and he talks about it at Evo
last year but the year before he literally talks about it and
This is before we knew that token existed
So everyone was under the assumption that the next big marble fighting game was going to be marble versus Capcom 4
He literally uses the terminology saying like
When the time is right
That's what he says. He says like we would love to do things
But like a lot of plans that we put in place a lot of these projects have to all line up
We would love to do it when the time is right. I don't think it's happening anytime soon
You have to let token be a thing so I'm saying like if you want there to ever be a chance of that shit ever existing
After 2030
It's pretty much it
Capcom is likely making a different fighting game right now could be CVS cap numbers as a K3 could be something like that
They're gonna do their own thing Marvel's doing their own thing and then
If there's a chance of this shit happening in the future, it's gonna be down the line
So...
It's like AI.
Was it an AI ad?
I like it that we can all just tell.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't.
So yeah, I don't think it's an impossibility and I kind of like that, you know?
I kind of like that. There's just a chance that NBC could come back. There's one in
14,605 chance that this shit could exist again.
Sure
But
Myself and all the community and everybody else that loves these fucking games and so is working on these games by adding characters and
Playing it weekly and all that kind of shit. They're just gonna keep doing what they do
And be really successful at it because a bunch of people love it too, you know
So I think that's completely fine. That's the spot we were in before man before the NBC collections came out
That's what we were doing before
Just totally fine
And if I can if I can provide any kind of assistance to get like rollback to be a possibility in Marvel 3 in some way
I'll do whatever the fuck I can do
Maybe too old to play Marvel 4 you might be but not me
I mean, I'm too old to take anything seriously anymore.
I just don't.
I don't grind anything.
I play things for fun.
So I just want to have fun.
I just want there to be like fighting games that I enjoy so much that I can play them
for like over a decade and always come back to them because I'm just having so much fun,
you know?
I don't need a thing to be the most.
I don't need a thing to be the most trust chat this is this is my channel
I don't need the game to be the headliner competitive title all the shit that I've been playing and
Making videos on for the longest time is the old dead shit
I made an entire career of making content around all the old dead shit and focusing on the communities of the old dead shit
And coming back to the games that I just love the most
And I haven't been able to do that over the past couple years to three years because there's been so many fucking fighting games
Man, there's been more things than ever
So to me that's the point of a goddamn FGC is that these old games didn't stop being good
They didn't they're still great
Still fun people are still playing them
Audiences are still there. Are they huge? They're not but I I don't need there to be a million-dollar prize pools for this ship for it to be exciting
I just need to like it. I just need to like it so much that like yeah, I can go back and play this any fucking time man
Speaking of fun wins marble three. I miss it. I need to go back and play all the the the modded characters in marble three
I just miss it
I'm like dreaming about playing marble three with good netcode dude. I'm dreaming about it
Did they get responses from my Marvel 3 Wheelback offer? I don't know, did I?
I don't have anything to announce right now. I don't know, did I?
Jeff Lane, thank you. It's made me, though. Adam Bingo. Appreciate it. Zidane.
Redline. Mephiston FGC.
Harseq isn't good enough. No, dude. It literally costs a monthly fee for
multiple servers to do that shit
And parsec is not ideal
It's also extremely cumbersome
They have to deal with all that shit
No, dude parsec is not the answer. It is the only thing that they've done that they could do
Imagine if you didn't have to do that
Also, to 99.9% of people that would be interested in playing on Marvel vs. Gapron 3 online, you
tell them that you have to connect through this parsec thing to connect to somebody else
and to make it fair, get a middle of the road AWS server to connect through from a VMware
style virtual the 99.9% of motherfuckers have already checked out they're like
what I could barely get Kenny Steven Simmons to connect during COVID over
parsec to get their controllers working dude they just weren't aware of like how
it worked it took me like every time we played together like an hour and a half
Just to get their controllers working like
Yes, it's easy to figure out when you do it
But it takes so much effort to get everything lined up and like working and it will still be fucked up
It'll still be stuttery or some weird shit because you have the wrong rendering resolution or something like that like
You would literally just play anything else like it's not convenient it is the exact opposite of convenience
As far as I can be on the option for that these days. Yes online Marvel 3 by default is balls
It's bad
In fact, it made me hate the game to be completely honest
Really made me dislike the game
I fell back in love with Marvel 3 when COVID started because all this parsec stuff started happening and it was like, huh
I wonder if it's like to play Marvel 3 without like a shit ton of input delay and like consistent
Netcode oh, I actually like this game. Oh shit. It's actually fun. This is crazy
There's one thing that puts me in a dark place chat is online fighting games that don't run well
What's being a dark place dude? I become a bunch. I become a I become a dower kind of person
The double cannon and he...
Man, the delays are on his time, too!
With the perfect... Look, he saw it in literally the first round.
You know what?
DBFC... XR'd Tekken 7.
I want to see...
Really good examples.
Smash Ultimate. I didn't even try.
No, no, no. Smash Ultimate.
I played like two matches online and I'm like, not doing this to myself.
I'm not doing this to myself. I have other things to play.
Pressure is to get all the...
I'll exclusively play this offline.
Mm-hmm.
launch Mortal Kombat X was awful it was awful luckily that only lasted like a
like a back year then they changed it I'm so blessed dude like I don't think I
would have fallen in love with Mortal Kombat X nearly as much as I did if that
game did not get better online I think that's one of the contributing reasons
is that it just was wonderful to play.
And Justice 2 Online is bad for you.
It can be.
Is it any about netcode changes for
Uhhhh. DOA-6? No, not yet.
Oh, they did? Is DOA-6 getting rolled by?
I thought all the community was complaining that it wasn't
It explicitly is not okay
Wow that was
Once again, Archive's back on the ropes right now, he needs to do something to spin, he's got great life to recover for!
Dude!
Great block!
Great throw!
Archive back on the point, he's gonna get a huge chuck of life back to this, and he's got...
I will say, high level Tekken, high level Tekken 8 is really fucking crazy.
God damn it, total 1!
Archive says, oh man, we're here.
It is really fucking crazy.
You need to see if you know how to parallel park.
It's insane that these guys are accounting for all the crazy shit these characters can do
U.S.
He dropped it.
Different as Tekken 8 to its predecessor on high level play.
Well Tekken 7 was very pokey and defensive.
Tekken 8 is complete polar opposite.
It's just hyper offensive.
Offensive is very powerful.
So being defensive is actually hard in this game.
like difficult as my Brian I've never I don't think I've ever even chose Brian
intentionally in Tekken in any game intentionally chose the character and did
moves I don't think I ever have all the way back to second three I've ever
have intentionally looked at that guy and it was like I want to play that dude
and that's never happened
That's how we're gonna start this game.
AKQ, AKQ, you're spicy.
That's a hell of a bonus, though.
Oh my god, explosions everywhere.
Whoa, god damn hop kicks.
Oh, it didn't land.
JR5, thank you.
I'm tired of playing with you.
Well, the game is timing up a little bit as well.
So on that same situation, that exchange
after that uppercut would have landed before the first two
games, it felt like the same time.
Back to read YouTube chat?
Yes.
Good job asking if I read YouTube chat
instead of saying I don't read YouTube chat,
because I just banned you.
Good job.
Good job asking and not making assumptions,
or assumptions as exclamations.
Good job.
Your fate is better than the majority of those that come in and just make assumptions as
exclamations.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, a question is fine.
I mean, I get it. A lot of people don't read their YouTube chat.
They stay away from it. I get it.
Um, a question is completely fine. I'm not gonna ban you for a- or if it's a-
If it's a stupid question, I'm just gonna give you a stupid answer.
Um, because that's funny.
But if you're like, genuinely like,
asking a question, because some behavior is in that way, then I'll give you a genuine answer.
Uh, but people don't ask- a lot of people do not ask questions.
They make exclamations that are completely based on assumption and I'm like well now you're just lying so goodbye
So goodbye
See you later. If that's if that's what your interaction is with me. See you later
There's two there's a tech announcement later today. Yeah, they're probably gonna be showing the coonie trailer
I
Love the sarcastic answers. I am the most sarcastic person that has ever streamed I think
Legit think so I
Think the I think sarcasm is my greatest trait
And I found a way to massage it in a way that makes a lot of my audience very happy
Like, I don't want to alienate people in my chat for like, not understanding what's going on.
I just want to find a creative way to tell you how much of a stupid bitch you are.
There we go.
Ha ha ha ha.
That was all sarcasm.
I don't want you to feel offended about the things I say about your mother, but you have
to understand she's a huge hose beast.
I'm willing to play into the straight game with the mid-strikes.
Yo, yo, if you can't get this up and come back,
go to the cross-stop, yo, the mid-strikes, yo, the world.
Yo!
Yikes!
Damn!
Yikes!
Oh my, and then he hit a bat in a bear.
Well, Max actually shit a chicken one day.
You'll see.
You better wait.
You better tune in.
Wait for a big announcement to happen
Went for a wall flip into low parry wall that shit was crazy
Whoa! That was fucking... and he's back his back to the corner again.
This shit is mad entertaining, dude. Holy shit!
We need more AK.
AK needs to stay around.
I
He's like he is like 10 for 10 on these fucking hopkicks, dude. I don't get it
10 for 10 on them
It's tricky.
The counter hit.
Get up with the stepping medius step after him.
No pulse to anything.
They can just sharp shooting him.
And finally the counter hit uppercut.
The surfboard off the wall.
Hatch.
He first.
Step near.
Stepping right finds another counter hit uppercut.
Steve, he's gonna burn this on the-
Need activation here?
Is he gonna be able to find anything after though?
This is not what it is!
AK! 3-1!
That was fuckin' cool.
That was fuckin' cool, dude.
Holy shit.
That was pretty fuckin' cool.
not only arts and as well as pop is ten beer this man looking forward to any
technique season three characters gonna pass I don't think I'm inherently excited
to play any of the season three characters right now but I definitely want to
I've been feeling the itch of wanting to get back into it you know especially
after that that latest patch which is like pretty inspiring I don't really
want to rank up or anything but I'm at the point where when I was blind
Ranking up you know in the previous season, which I enjoyed then I hit the goals. I wanted to hit for the most part
I definitely had a moment of realization I have to learn this you know I actually have to
Learn this Bob. I might try we'll see
But I actually don't want to just run my shit
I was getting kind of bored with the game if I was just running my shit harder, right?
I was actually kind of like losing interest because that was so powerful
It's so good just to like run your shit and keep going. I kind of was getting bored
So what I want is for me personally because winning just doesn't do it like just getting victories
That doesn't do it. I think I want to
Start actually learning
Good shit like throw breaks like actually practice throw breaks
maybe head up
Fee once again about some mentality things you need to be ready for
Yeah, yeah, I gotta start thinking about that shit the timing stuff like some things like that
Being comfortable in blocking situations being comfortable inside stepping being comfortable when you can do stuff
instead of just feeling like
You know, I just need to press my buttons faster than they do. I need to run my offense faster than they do
coming up for Tekken 8 this year, we strongly advise you the Illuminati request that you
stick around.
There you go.
Thank you guys once again man for tuning in.
To be honest the coaching I got from Fee got the results I wanted.
I enjoyed the game enough to continue playing but running that type of play style which
it feels like Tekken 8 encourages was making me lose interest in wanting to get better
Because the game has a very large gap in between really powerful offense and actually learning
the game.
Like a really big gap.
Which is I think a design flaw.
Obviously, it's a big design flaw.
It's not that you don't not run the casino but like when it's everything I lose interest.
And the unfortunate thing is that when I was better at running Casino, I would win more,
which didn't necessarily feel good.
However, when you're actually good at Tekken 8, like really good at it, it isn't that.
Believe it or not, it really isn't.
Like, I find that my bitch-ass gets conditioned a little too much.
Like my brain wants to respond to things and counter them a little too much, which
is a mentality thing that I would need to talk to more experienced Tekken players about
where if I get hit by three lows in a row, even though it's not KO worth damage, my stupid
brain goes to, I need to fix this. I want to live, my stupid brain goes to, I want
to live with as much of a health bar as possible even though that has no value, right? Getting
the W, even if it's at 100% or 1% is the same shit.
So yeah, I need to talk about like a mentality sort of thing.
And right now, my stupid brain really enjoys countering and punishing a lot.
I love ducking highs and punishing.
I love blocking lows and punishing.
I love sidestepping and launching.
I love it.
I really like it, and I think I like it a bit too much.
At least when I was last playing.
It's been like a month and a half, two months.
You're looking for a therapist.
I mean, kinda, Tekken is a huge mentality sort of game, bro.
really is like it's even at like mid to low level you know
yeah it could be a character thing as well
I'm just going to spread.
Good for Jack.
I see so much back and forth.
Okay.
And one of the things I got to point out is like the tempo of every round that we've seen between the games all day.
They've been so different. You could definitely see the different styles flashing here.
I think I'm buying invincible versus I'm interested in the online mode as it's on the recommended.
If you're specifically looking to play online and stuff like that, I would actually recommend
it.
their offering is not like super huge but if you're looking to play online it's pretty
Oh my god.
We've had so much salmon in this thing.
Uh, chat.
The activation here, what's the result?
Oh my bad.
Sweep to the slide, hit the counter, hit me once again.
Okay.
Well, my wife just showed up.
What a fuck.
Sponish me hitting the first game.
My daughter is downstairs inhaling it her favorite food is no shit mom's salmon
Cuz JJ makes an incredible black-and-samin. It's one of our favorite dishes
And we we hear that like mom's making salmon today and we like high five each other and stuff like that
Now she's downstairs, just like
Gets so much
I'm just throwing it in the air, bro. I'm just throwing it in the air.
Who knows what comes back down.
We're gonna just go to Costco.
Just buy a massive slab of salmon.
I'm just last us for like two to three days.
Let's see if there's gonna be a different out of this match.
Let's see if he knows how to defend.
We saw it earlier. Can we see it again?
Game two.
It's like a similar kind of approach to lead jab.
I'll give it a bit. It's been okay.
It's like while standing three, the flutter kick set up in the stands.
There's Ripley picking eater.
as much as any kid, but happy that she likes certain things, you know, she thought she
liked some interesting things. She eats, she eats salmon.
of the
side dish, uh,
rice and salad.
Nuggets that's most kids the chicken tenders briefly has always been weird
She'll get like chicken tenders. No, she does
She takes off all the breading and only eats the meat
She does that all the time
She likes like
Fish like like fish in the same way takes off all the breading and just gets did she calls it
He used to call it the chicken. She's like, I don't like eating the chicken like in the wait, but you're but it's fish
Take notes dad look the chicken, which is like the just the white fish on the inside. She only eats that
to
the
wall
and never see a certain direction
of
The namesake move.
Uh, uh.
Uh.
Engage.
Delay.
Funky engagement.
See a lot of fuzz in there.
Oh, man.
Gotta be careful there.
Delay, nothing.
Mm-hmm.
Fixing up the offense a little bit.
Feed back to the wall still.
One tap, running three.
The lowest, strictly the lowest with the honking attack, but again, the dead!
Come on!
That's gonna be the round of another one!
Two on me right now, over Osa!
My man is playing crazy right now!
My man, Osa, I'm looking like he just saw a ghost knee-like, bro, I ain't dead yet.
That's pure lock-in too.
Some of these sequences is like it felt like we were going like eight to ten seconds
Greats are bad against Brian he hits so hard
This is whole character identity
This whole character identity is counter hit launchers
He wants you to attack him
It's like good Brian's feel impossible to fight
like that. You saw him go for the evasive look at the wall, especially be able to lock up your
return. He wasn't giving him any of that. Steve is the same. To be honest, the advice that
BDX gave me against Steve went a long way. I don't win every single time, but I don't
know dick about punishing Steve on anything. I know no punishes. You know what works?
down one works a lot
and now the law has been a while
both old son is picking Lars
all right dude
I appreciate it
here we go
everybody get out the water
get out the water
uh oh
Damn full commits
So much goddamn defense dude
Yeah, you gotta shoe shine them shoe shine is the best button he has to patients
They don't work so much
You made it because of it.
Side step two, that attack got me to season three.
Side step, perfect side step.
Got the back shot, B now.
Trying to put something in the driver's seat at this.
The plays deep in.
And that's why I said B now.
Set point here, losers round two against Olsang.
OK, wait a minute, big counter hit this back down.
It's only got wall from this.
Oh son you got it something I got it it's not looking good
Okay starting to get something started
Committed to it finish the stream as well all rising to one
Get the big counter hit though, till the wall we go, spins the heat, no great life till it comes so we gotta do it as it is.
Oh boy!
Back in the game, but it might be over if Osan gets another touch that's gonna do it!
They're calling down to.
Alright, Osan. Alright, Osan. And now you definitely want to get this round.
We set it a little bit, obviously. Not gonna do too much other than give you a game on the board, but at least the momentum is in your favor.
Final round?
What a fucking punish dude. Holy shit.
after testing admitted the beginning of the round need right now in position
and that's the only problem with Shear Shine it loses the back dash a lot
oh the big-ass read oh god he dropped it that's what comes from playing multiple characters
okay mix yep
No drop there.
Hope it doesn't cost him Steve right now.
Me can attach up activate.
Get the Vulcan Punch.
Oh shit, convert.
Uh-uh.
Oh, let's go.
God damn, that was a tough combo.
He could sense it.
He knows he's in danger right now.
And what a great pickup.
He got lucky.
One-on-one saved him.
He could be like, no, I'm going to use it right here
to get the clothes on.
Like I said, there were changes to those.
scenarios where you're not getting the same combos.
A lot of times you're not getting the flow.
Olsang had an answer.
It actually just kept him alive.
It's two games to one.
Lee in favor.
Olsang fighting back.
But now he's got to do it with the Lars.
Let's see what happens.
Art Blast.
Good adjustment over all in some of this combos situation.
Right now, Long Blast starts things off like you said.
And Lee back to the wall here on the arena.
Standing four.
Those touches in the mix, the back four.
You up in shock
Whoa
Nice dude, let's go
He's playing hella patient
Sorry, it's a spicy.
Oh, he didn't commit to a punish.
Oh, fuck.
he found the timing
he was waiting on him to do a back four
he found his timing oh shit
you're trying to punish
that one one
oh he punishes that
oh
of the
house for a key to have
the shoulder you get better of their friends
but the whole ship in the year
of the
one back to the point
, slowly at the root of the tree making a second as a man and a little bit of a
tax and action for the one of the other side of my stock of the
You
Didn't even get to the knee
Bro the zoom in was crazy. Yeah, I got it right
Whoa next time there we go
the sidestep
Nice block. Whoa damn dude. He's micro sidestepping 111. Oh god
How the fuck is knee blocking it every time
Let's go
Let's go bro. He's good. Olson is playing his dick off right now
look at this dude holy shit right now my man was on the birds he was playing his
dick off right now man holy shit he's trying
the Colosseum of fate the Colosseum of fate it feels like some of these players are fighting
against that right now yeah
versus law are you eating I'm not eating anything
And what's crazy is he had such a read on the laws at the beginning of these games and now he's in danger
Oh boy
Got him dancing
Here's what's crazy
Me hasn't let Lars do any of the stuff he's good at
He's like forced Ulsan do it effectively play the smallest goddamn tech impossible because he's blocked every mix up
return on options when he does do that.
One on seven.
Ow.
Stepping sweep.
Hatching.
Give it a pressure.
Back one.
I love using this back one.
You want a side step?
This is exactly what I'm going to do.
Back one.
Hold that.
One round away from staying alive in this loser's side
up to Evo Japan.
Every interaction that round, Osaka's pressing Steve.
Steve was right every time.
He kept the answer.
He understands now.
This timing is too good.
Oh!
Mental damage.
Oh, shit, whoa!
It's trying to fill his head
This is fucking crazy knee
Down back one three that ass
I
So
Nice every time a lot more aggressive with y'all oh shit wait time can you
You got a big like this game
Okay, okay
Look at the carry look at the combo
Fuck it, dude. Let it rip. Fuck it. Let it rip
Who's gonna go on Korea versus Korea?
Bullsend we got to do it. Nice block small punish. Oh
God, okay, here's mix let it rip. Yes finally committing to the one
life bars look at pretty similar even the great cannonball street engage on
the side step to wait subway block on the low bro he hit that the whole fucking
game that's fucking crazy that is fucking crazy that he had hot kick we
hit I'm sorry he hit orbital the whole game the dude never touched it like no
shit like he'd been opening him up with shoe shine the entire time and he saved
orbital until the final fucking interaction that is fucking insane he
literally said I will take three straight games of getting hit by shoe
shine and seeing if I survive but not responding to it that's fucking crazy dude
because yeah hop kick and orbitals are the way you do like that's what you do
that's fucking nuts what a goddamn game
what a game versus me oh my god how do you say this is not ridiculous but of
course winner's finals korea versus pakistan akati versus hop is ten beer
and we only got four remaining oh my gosh listen to korea that was lars that was
like extremely small tech and lars play i know the x factor in this bracket
Tasty Steve, we are here at Evo 2026 Evo Japan 2026 sorry for Tekken 8
This is gonna be like we've been saying rather starting off the competitive season for Tekken 8. I did not have
Half of this top four pen to be the ones leading the way at this event like this
I don't know too many other people did either but look before we find out the conclusion of this tournament
We're gonna take a quick commercial break and give shots off. It's a lot of empty chairs. It's very early over there
right back
This was the first event of the day
Every EVO though the tournaments that are like
That's like 8 a.m. and shit then a.m.
The arena is always like one fourth full
Wow, that was crazy
Bro, what a game that was!
The fact that it was also him using Lars too was very nice.
Bitch, is this an entertaining character?
I don't know what to tell you.
You got a guy that's like really offensive focus and against the most defensive character
in the game, right?
So that was just cool.
It was just like the the dichotomy of Tekken 8.
It can be really cool.
Yo Kanami, thank you very much man.
Yeah, we did that.
And then the prize money went up again.
We were really happy about that.
I'll give you a choice!
Go ahead and throw it in the net.
One sec, Jap.
He's being a part of this community.
Revatek.
I'm a bit nervous, Aya-san.
Revatek will give you the best career ever.
If you win, I'll be here to see you.
What are you saying?
If you're an engineer, there's a huge data about the engineer.
If you can do IT skills, then Levatec.
Levatec freelance.
Look at this.
What's that?
I want to be a freelance, but...
Freelance?
We'll continue to make a proposal.
We'll do our best to grow your business.
Isn't that all you can do?
If you're an IT freelance, then Levatec freelance.
Oh my God.
Oh, man.
Creating memories forever here, man.
Seeing you all here, year after year after year,
you're all part of one big family
and it is truly something special.
And as you can see, May 4th registration closes for Evil World's Bagots.
Make sure you get signed up, but we are here at Evo Japan 2026, Big Side Tokyo is where
we're hanging out.
boy, Tasty Steve, the legendary Majin Obama in this top eight is getting crazy.
Good ass Tekken has been displayed all day, but we only got four players remaining.
And I'm telling you right now, your fantasy brackets, Jared Schambles right now.
I'm telling you right now, but the games have been so good.
Thank you guys for returning back with us.
Don't forget to stay tuned after it because I'm sure we got something nice to
show you. And then we got Street Fighter six down the way on the pipeline,
but the games have been crazy.
Some of the best Tekken I've seen all year.
And it's only the beginning of the tournament season.
Steve, when I look at the bracket that we have laid out in front of us,
we've got winners finals between Cardi and Hoppins 10 of the year.
Both of these players, too, these are very new to this kind of stage,
like this in this, especially in this region.
That's a primer, right?
Hoppins 10 of the year, of course, had that standout performance a few years ago
at Tiger Upper, but, you know, and he's come through in huge moments,
especially in the, I always go back to the Pakistan first Korea exhibition
where he just thought they put him, they gave him the keys to the car
like yo drive and he did and he did definitely stepped up but for him in a
singles event like this at Evo Japan last year we didn't have any Pakistani
representation in this event this year they came with a squad but he's the one
right now putting everything on his shoulders and he's in position to do
something crazy and here's the thing Steve Ikari also local legend right
he's been to all these those events you can't understand it if you're not
I'm not really paying attention, JP community has become really active with running Dojo's
and doing Dojo events in the past few years especially.
Ikari is at a lot of those events man, he's consistently always on the run, always trying
to compete and be able to try to get to that upper cross of the players that perform the
most consistently out here.
So for him to be having the weekend that he's having, if you find yourself in winners,
finals of E Budge Panda, biggest tournament in this region, that's a new, again
this is a new thing for them.
Yeah, absolutely true.
side of the bracket AK trying to get his lick back he tried to I've had an evil Japan title
robbed robbed of me before right he's trying to get it back need trying to put one on the thumb
another championship ring another notch on the bed post so you got two completely different worlds
in both sides of this bracket right now stories bro they write themselves man you can see AK
versus you're gonna be there losing semi-final match but Akati like you said before super active
about here. It's definitely like you said before, if you know, you know, Akati has been around
for quite some time. And of course, Office 10 beer, definitely the young man. And everybody
was talking about how last year, Orson wasn't here, Optif wasn't here, Pakistan wasn't in
the building. They were here and they made a huge step and still to this point, well,
Office 10 beer is sitting in this winner's final side with his work cut out for him,
obviously going up against Akati. But look, this is one of these characters. Kazi is one
of these legacy characters that has been on the screen multiple times. I feel like
that's from Tekken 101. How are you going to deal with the hellsuits? Do you know how to properly move
around these electrics? You know we're going to see it. But the thing about Hoppus that he does
better than most is that he knows how to annoy you. He knows how to make you second against some
of your options. And that's when he starts hitting you with the low to side step force. He's very
big and vicious running tunes. He wants you to freeze up. He has excellent reactions. He has
excellent patience. He's able to read your defensive habits. He's able to break you down
like that. But the biggest thing is, that compines those, he's able to find the win
conditions for Claudio so well. I'll find that wall, I'm gonna rotate around, and
you know what you're gonna be looking at. Back one, sidestep four, mid-strike option
with the wall splat behind it, and then the heat just makes it all that more
obnoxious. Especially when you have prodigy players who are so good like
this. Cuff this Tampere, step it up to Ikari here, and then there's finals in
What are you going to do with this?
Here we go.
Packers at first Korea in Japan, play thoughts?
Yo.
Standing at the stage.
Like a real life fighting game.
What did I say?
You gotta know how to play around the elections.
Big damage on this side.
Off the stand here.
It's back up to the wall.
A county likes having this kind of momentum.
What's the sad?
Packers at the side, fist at the wall.
Carter, Lewis B, thunderstorm morning.
Watch out.
Breath.
You're not going to be in that bin.
And Pates wouldn't do the duty guard, he'd let them fly like that.
That's what the one won, this time we caught him.
I've been standing here, facing the pressure a little bit.
Running two, right into the cliff.
Yeah, you're trying to bang on armor, we see you, obviously.
No!
Wrong option against the wall, it's a self-advance.
Oh, we caught you so wrong for that.
Oh, no.
With the weight.
Steph, you trying to get up?
Stay down.
Bro, we've got an answer for everything,
whether it was a 1-4 string, a 4-3 rewaltz
flag, two rounds to none in game number one.
I want that man tested, bro.
How is he seeing this?
Steph, who's that?
This little guy.
Burn up, you see.
Spike the leg.
Great buzz on the down for one.
With the step not deep enough.
I got the county handy car in this time, going to get launched, back to the wall, activation.
Optimus 10 beer, going to, yes, really keep the size of the floor, this is my win condition.
You going to give me that sweet? I'm going to give you all this damn splash.
Breaking the balcony right there, little back three action, okay, okay. Optimus 10 beer.
Back three, he got some thick thighs, a crack a little bit, you know.
Ooh, counter-hated, trying to get the electric too, but did not work out, but doesn't even need it because the momentum is still in his face.
Okay, twin pistols, back to the wall.
Realignment uses the heat.
Tracking the sign.
He knows you want to move on the wall.
The first game to be in jeopardy
and it's going to go by way of Akati.
Game number one.
And man, he just seems so comfortable
sitting up here playing.
No matter what the character,
no matter who he's fighting against,
he just seems like he's very calm.
Can we go?
Yeah, it's kind of surprising too.
Like I said, it's not as though he's a stranger to making
a deep, it's ragged like that.
Even some of the Dodgers here, they'll put the lights on
and stuff like that.
You know, when you're getting off the plane,
check her in, know me, those guys.
But he just has a level of comfort right now that just,
like, I mean, since we started this top, this top eight,
it just feels unshaken.
That was electric and that would have hit.
But now, the Gager on the side of the office guy here.
With the walks, Steve.
Sidewalk, got the wall, got the counter hit.
You got the hole!
You... you... you...
The... the weed on Hump is 10 beers and it's been right down to Spray E.
And I like the option, because even if you're gonna block that, you're still gonna think about it now.
You know we gotta read, like, you know, you know, if I want to sidestep in another round on the board,
the party is running away, trying to get a huge weed in his...
I'm sorry!
Now watch for that wall situation next time, Emily!
If I Hump is 10 beers, probably gonna be a little bit more hesitant.
Staff might just...
Ugh!
...give it more hits.
The grand finals on the line right now.
He sucks at moment activation for the F1 winners.
Damn.
That was Japan. Wonderful. Never been.
If Akari wins this entire tournament...
with never getting into losers with
cause yeah that should'll be crazy
that'd be fucking nuts he does it with
Kaz
Look at all the woman is sitting pretty right now. He has lower tier. He's not a lower tier. He's good
But this is not a character that you see traditionally at
Like in top eights not not all the time and the thing is a car is like
King of like fundamental Tekken
Really fundamental Tekken like he's he's playing a Mishima probably better than you ever could
So his playstyle is very entertaining to watch because he's very much playing like
Mishima ass Mishima Tekken and you just don't see that a lot in this game
Not at least at the high level
Wow definitely reaching right now, all right
I think being able to have a more consistent down for a one like you said that compact pressure
You got to be a lot more careful towards the side steps to go launch it for those you don't have to commit to a hop kick in a lot of those
Yeah, Kaz isn't like Jen work like Kaz had really dumb shit at some point in this game's life now
He's never had like aggressively dumb shit
to be honest, if Kizuya lends this EVO, the game's in a pretty good spot, like, I'll be
real yeah comparatively speaking he's
honest you know counter hit down to his
crazy for jennison season one no no no
counter hit down to was not what made
jenn crazy in season one two one four
being completely safe and delayable
into a counter hit launcher was bonkers and that doesn't even include the
insanely stupid like hyper plus on block like dive kick shit that he had
nah dude Jin was insane like he was so overtuned what are we doing here dude
audio yeah all the running free stance moves just you just fuck him up it was
it was not cool man
remember pre-nerf demon paw for Jen in season one when demon paw went way
beyond where his fist was so you'd be getting hit from it forever and it would
be like that did not hit me and it would blast the shit out of you dude and
also had insane pushback it was yeah Jin was really overtuned
I think what we're seeing now and the reason why everybody has complaints about every single character in the game, the reason why there's so much complaining from Tekken players across the board about every single aspect of the game is that Tekken 8 committed really hard to the most annoying aspect of Tekken.
Which is knowledge-checking.
Like, what if every character can knowledge-check the shit out of you?
Really hard.
What if everyone had absolute insane knowledge checks all over the place?
And that's like a frustrating aspect of Tekken from the high level to the low level.
The game does not give that much visual information like, why is the thing happening?
happening what is the result and what do I need to do not a lot of that you
gotta go into training for that shit dude so because of it yeah it's naturally
pretty frustrating to figure that shit out
Yeah
Damn
Yo, he called me right now
The red knee to change the nature of this tournament. He wants to go to grand finals on winter side
He is one round away
Boom
Okay, wait a minute
Love a flow chart knowledge. Yeah, like the flow chart knowledge check. Yes. It's hard, dude
And this game is more powerful than it ever has been and that's just frustrating to lose to
It's also in my opinion frustrating to win with that's what I was talking about earlier
Just running my my crazy knowledge check flow chart. Good shit
Running your crazy knowledge check flow chart is fun for like a little bit
But then when you realize that, that's what you have to lean into more and more and the game like gives you rewards to do it at times, it's like, oh, I...
Oh, I...
I've had to, like, kind of unsatisfying feeling.
Yeah, the... Historically, some of that flowchart shit would be bad.
It would actually be bad.
But now, like, the game incentivizes it, you know?
And you might get bit and when there's blood in the water championship is on the line
I'm trying to take an egg, you know, it's a very polarizing game
But the high level of it is pretty sick, I will say
consistently whenever we watch a Tekken outside of like the
extremely heavy
Draganoff first evo that Tekken 8 had
The majority of Tekken 8 outside of like funky ass season 2 most big top-aid performances of Tekken 8 have been pretty good
pretty dang exciting like even dude a bear some of the action that you see here
right a bear one taken again in the first TWT finals a bear like holy shit
this is insane dude range you came back and did it again thanks to play
station that one in 2017 your PlayStation home dashboard you never
range you right and you get access to some of the most exciting action as well
as I made on here I only play Lars for the most part
Flying some of those winners out to tournaments. I've called some of those matches some of your favorite commentaries
I call those matches and the competition gets even better look PlayStation tournament sign up play from your very
I rank you one second seven
With Panda back in 2017 from my home or was it kuma was one of the two PlayStation 2018. Yeah
This AK versus
No more Victor. I only played Victor in the first two days of the game being out
Then I dropped him because he was too boring
They fixed him a lot over time, but I never went back and played him. His Lars was a more
Lars and Victor had a lot of similarities in their game plan
And Lars was just a more interesting fun to play version of Victor
He's better they gave Victor some sauce, you know, he can actually do things now, but he was very dry
His combos weren't too interesting. His offense wasn't very interesting. It was like
I was like I went from like Victor and I was like this is kind of dry to mess around with Jin and I'm like
Okay, Jin's pretty good
But I really had to get like the execution up there
And then I started messing around with Lars and I just loved when everything Lars did look cool. So I was like, all right
He's got lightning boots and shit. All right
He really wants to see how you're gonna like respond to what he's doing and we're gonna see a play out
There's a Leeroy anymore and he's okay.
He's okay.
I think there's a Sauceless Ho.
Yeah we talked about, we checked out the PlayStation blog post.
Gets like a natural x-factor. He has like a gamma bar
Which is insane. He literally builds a gamma bar and it gets more powerful and faster
Yeah, I mean outside of Raven, you know Lars is very ninja like he's the Swedish ninja
Hey, I hate it man. It's so cool
I just really don't like Kage very much, I don't love Kage in VF that much.
He's a Swedish real booby, definitely is.
I only got the second god in the last season, I tried to get the TGS but I got too busy.
Second god now is like in what?
like God one with the with the current ranked probably at least god of destruction
like it's weird how all the current shit is working ranked got kind of thrown
upside down as soon as it was like in the first week or so we saw people
hitting like first week or two they're hitting God of destruction five and six
it was like whoa what the fuck is happening yeah it's essentially plus
two or three ranks from the previous season as I was working now
how about Clive I hate the way he feels I can't explain it I went back and I
tried Clive and I was like yeah let me play this dude because I had fun with
him but I went back and I tried Clive again and I was just like I don't
I don't like his- the way he feels and moving, I don't like the way his buttons necessarily feel
Like I couldn't help it
And I was like, mmm
He feels like weirdly heavy, yeah
I don't know
Didn't feel like Noctis felt much more like quick and snappy
Comparatively
Why I feel spunky, that's what I'm- I think that's what I'm getting at
I don't think he's bad, no I think he's super good
But I want a character that I can like vibe with feels good to play
I like to play and I don't mind losing
Whatever the hell the last character in this season is as a banger. I really do I
Think I think some of the existing fan base will be down with Bob
Bob, and Cooney, and Roger, you know?
But I really hope whatever the last season character is this season, whether it's a returning
Tekken character, original Tekken character, or a gas, I hope they're just fucking really
cool.
I hope it's just a character that kind of is surprising.
It's Vega.
Watch it be Vega.
He looks like fucking Batman or some shit, dude.
Let us be really surprised.
Come on. Make it like Solid Snake.
Something really fucking crazy.
Watch it be raw powered. I would love that, but that would not be good for the health of Tekken 8.
Alright, I'd rather have a healthy game than just getting what I want.
one
if it was a virtual fighter that the mad cool the problem is we need to get six to exist for that to happen
He's so god damn good at this shit.
Yeah, we'll be seeing likely Akunimitsu trailers tonight.
I want Tifa in a second.
But I've been saying that shit for what, a half a decade now?
I guess it's going to be a little bit more fun.
It needs to be unexpected, you know?
It actually has to be exciting.
It's got to be something unexpected.
Roger was pretty unexpected.
So I do give them that credit for season three.
Roger was pretty like, whoa,
Sam, I'm bringing him back.
Wow.
But Cooney and Bob is like, okay.
All right.
I don't really feel much from seeing Cooney or Bob.
I have like a crazy ass theory chat.
Here's my wild crackpot, you know, tinfoil hat theory that this game is going to launch
with the guest character.
That guest character was John Wick.
Something happened.
They had to turn him into a different character.
that's how that's how Victor was born. That's why that's why crazy crackpot theory. The
John Wick was going to be literally like in the main roster.
I bet you he did though. I bet you he did though.
Oh my god. This is the kind of move. You've been watching the sets all weekend.
AK opening games off like this. Now they wouldn't have been able to pull that overnight.
I'm just saying that.
Alright, here we go.
Look how much more aggressive AK is being now in the office.
Yeah
Easy though
Is Victor very noctis
Victor is about as much noctis as
Clive is which is not very much
If you played noctis or played Victor apply not very much. Maybe a little bit. I
Guess the one thing I can give you is that like
QCB or QCF2 on Victor is a gunshot that he teleports in after. That is the same
thing that Noctis is forward to where he throws the sword. Yeah, okay. Okay.
Baby.
I don't know what you're doing.
Okay, oh, overstate your pieces.
Stay locked up.
Yeah.
You know what you did.
Nice punish.
Leon Kennedy would be fucking amazing.
is a second
Holy shit
A bonfire on the beach, this dude is not messing around, bro.
Mm-hmm, fishin'.
Engage.
What if it's an MK character?
I've actually said that for a very long time.
That it would be mad cool to see either Sub-Zero or Scorpion in Tekken.
That that kind of a crossover would be super fucking cool.
I
Usually don't see MK crossover with anything on like the Japanese side. It usually doesn't happen
Dude, I'm gonna say I'm gonna pull up something so I can show you guys after this map is over
Legit maybe want to play the character
The third dimension
Yeah, I did see the MK to movie ads of this evil I thought that was pretty funny
Yeah
Was it coming out like within a couple days
It's next week. Okay, so I did see it pretty early
It was dude Chad, it was so crazy. I went to that premiere and I got to talk to John Tobias a lot
He also watched the streams, which was really cool, but I got to tell John how how cool
How much I love his artwork and it was cool seeing him still draw stuff for like the Raiden foundation and stuff like that
I was always retweeting him
Like doing charity work with his artwork
He was still drawing MK characters the same way that he did back in like UMK3 and MK3
And before and it was like damn dude. Your style is so sick
It's so cool
So I got to tell him that which felt really good and then Ed like Ed like tracked me down and was like I need to get a picture with
You and I was like, oh geez it's so long
So that was very cool just to run into those people
It's funny, I wanted to get pictures and talk to like Ed Band and John Tobias and everyone
else was trying to hunt down Carl Urban and like all of the movie roster.
JJ and Kenny got a picture with Carl Urban.
I was like, I don't I'm good multiple floors to play you here
Center in slide not close enough not sure that
What a sidestep on the back one cross job size get chopped again
the
side step attack pressure from AK
swipe
yeah
I don't care how much it costs
and that's it
trying to get him into the backash
and
he almost dies for that he almost died for that
AK got a little bit of life but not enough to survive the hit
he answers back again
two rounds straight
prepare the option to complete Tommy from B
Yeah, I know shit, Ed is one of the people in this industry I really respect.
They've been through their ups and downs, you know, and like MK1 was obviously not nearly
as much of an up, but, you know, those guys gave me one of my favorite fighting games ever,
and I deeply appreciate it.
Like regardless of whether or not I didn't vibe with Injustice 2, MK11, MK1 as much,
bro they gave me Mortal Kombat X and I'm like I'm gonna play this shit forever
so I deeply appreciate that
here we go
yeah MK1's in a pretty good spot in the end you're not you're never gonna
convince people that cameos are cool if they already have their minds made up
it'll never happen even though the cameos got way better even though the
characters got a really cool in the end you know
Aka for this tournament. He is putting the Philippines on his back
But he's going up against one of the ghosts one of the greats need who's on his opportunity chance to actually get back
To grand finals and put another ring on the hand
We're all final game me as an opportunity
But we're going to go between these two. It's the first two three rounds loses in my finals tournament life
I'm alive turn the fucking music dude
God damn I would love to hear the background music cranked right now
I
Want AK AK has been so entertaining to watch
Everybody always likes seeing me play I get it
But, AK has been mad fun to watch in this tournament dude.
Whoa, that bitch is, that bitch is flying!
Flipping and dipping!
Put the predator in Tekken. Now we're talking. Now we're talking.
Another counter hit, double barrel once again.
Armor, immediate armor, no hesitation.
Which predator? I don't care.
They'll always be other costumes.
Damn!
One round of peace.
One round of peace in his final game.
This game five early engaged.
Slip and slide.
Woo!
Where we going? Where we going?
Where we going?
Ah, good call and not waking up.
Really smart timing on Waco.
Yeah, Predator, Maxiply, play so much fucking Tekken.
right he waits until the very end just to bring it bring it out fine if we're
gonna get to this point we're gonna have this kind of mental warfare like this
Tony did you get a character that I enjoy playing and as a character that I
historically love and it's just like yeah this just happens
there's a reason why I get so much into the Marvel vs. Capcom games and shit it's
because it's got Strider in it man fucking love this dude
Oh god he's chipping away at him, he's chipping away at him, here we go bro.
Oh boy, that's the first missed object that I've seen.
Oh shit!
I'm just going to go for damage output because he didn't get good frames.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh shit, oh shit.
Oh my god.
He doesn't need dashable.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
16 seconds left on the clock.
He's with advantage.
Oh god damn hatchet kick dude.
Damn, McCarrie vs. Knee and Grand Finals?
Okay.
Alright.
This, uh, this could be fucking cool.
This might be pretty fucking cool.
Yeah.
A.K.
plays such a cool show.
Oh my God, dude.
Some of the shit we saw him doing was so neat.
Here's the thing, chat.
I don't think this is that, uh, crazy of me to think that this
actually looks sort of fucking cool.
Here's, here's, here's the problem.
that actually looks kinda pretty fuckin' cool.
Mm-hmm.
I kinda don't hate it.
I don't hate it, dude.
What I'm saying, at least I haven't seen like,
like a Mortal Kombat character
would be pretty fuckin' cool and tacky.
And they chose, obviously, like the best squadron.
It's just a mod, but it made me want to play victor no shit. I was like Scorpion with a gun
Scorpion with a gun? Yeah MK11 Scorpion design is goaded. It's so good. So much better than
Sub-zero just funny little hat
This is why they do the best sub-zero design
Shredder sub-zero
What do you mean kind of
expertise is
the
fact that every time you're clad
and you cannot match my skill.
Damn.
Can't help.
I literally saw this costume on Victor,
and I was like, I might download this mod and play Victor.
I might just play Scorpion in this fucking game.
Who knows?
It's really cool.
No, it's the case chat.
It's because they're both Unreal Engine games,
so the assets are pretty easily transmittable.
Do you hear the leaker saying it might not be an injustice game?
I don't know if I believe the leaker is on that shit either, dude.
I don't know if there's much to giving the credibility to leakers.
Honestly, an injustice 3 doesn't make any goddamn sense to me.
I don't get it.
I don't know why that would, personally speaking, I don't get it.
I think it makes a lot more sense that it would be something else, but even the leaks,
I actually don't buy the random, I made the video about this.
I don't buy the random artist and their portfolio leaking games, but you cannot know the name
of the artist or what they said, but here's just the leaked game.
I don't buy it, dude.
I don't know if that ever existed, because that has happened several times before.
I don't know if I'd buy it and weirdly enough, they also say in that in that same thing, oh,
and several unannounced projects, but I also worked on Hogwarts to an injustice three.
It's like really, really.
Anyway, I still don't want it to be in justice three, if it is DC something else and to
be real, Mortal Kombat versus DC makes the most sense to me.
I will lose my goddamn shit if it's like Superman and Batman come out and Wonder Woman and all this shit
and then all of a sudden Scorpion and Sonia show up and it's like, oh fuck
That would actually be legit exciting because that has not been we've gotten a couple of injustice games over the past 10 years
We've gotten several Mortal Kombat games over the past 10 years
But it's been almost 20 years that we've had an MK versus DC game and the last one wasn't necessarily like the best
Company was going out of business as it was happening
happening. So yeah, maybe we can, maybe it would be cool to get a really modern day
interpretation of MK vs DC. 20 years really. Yeah, MK vs DC was 2008. So nearly, by the
time this shit happens, it'll be nearly 20 years.
I had another ring to the Max, please stop reminding me how old I am
20 years the sound of your lower back
Yeah, we talked about DC KO how that would be cool sounds a lot like secret invasion
It's just like all I'm not confusing the comic book shit chat
Which is just like all of the characters and from all the different universes and timelines kind of coming together and fighting
Is that not what that is
Secret Wars I just a secret invasion sorry secret Wars
Is that not what DC KO kind of is
and in a driver's seat grand final to get her side and look at who we got facing off the face to have the right to even face him again.
Me and Hafiz Tandeer, Korea, Pakistan, the rivalry is still hidden but in a completely different context.
They say, you know what, Arsenal, you know what, I'm gonna take a weekend off.
I'm gonna take a weekend off.
The Johns, you know what, you go ahead.
I've seen this before.
Steve, we talk about the Korea-Pakistan exhibition.
multi-verse but not a smash for this clone
multi-versus
as the dating experience been Tekken 8 top 8 has been pretty good
darkstalkers last night was incredible darkstalkers was the peak dude that was
one of the best top 8's I've seen for a game in a very long time. In like a couple years
I'd argue. There's nuts. I'll make a video on it of like my reactions to it out incredibly
sick that top 8 was. I need to make a video on it. Just like a compilation of all the
insane shit. Ah no, Soul Calibur has not started yet.
But people who have been paying attention, they know, right?
But this hop is ten beer.
And he said, you've got to remember, hop is ten beer is the one
who puts the inside.
So I think for a hop is ten beer, it's probably coming into this
with a considerable amount of confidence.
Me, though, if he's going to impose his will on this bracket,
be able to get to a point where this can be another legacy win for him.
He's going to have to go over not only hop is ten beer, but also
what's the God to a non-believer.
If he's playing like, yo, all that stuff doesn't help, sweet.
No, no, no, and I'm still waiting on that new Frank Abel, but that's not the point.
The point is, is that there's a lot on the line here, there's legacy,
that's the fact that you have an opportunity like you said.
That is a huge notch on any player's belt to actually be like that.
Oh, we weren't in Loser's Finals, okay.
Any guy to go through one more?
I could have swore we were in Loser's Finals already.
One against Korea versus Pakistan.
The next chapter is about the one E versus Hoppastanbeer.
We are now versus Claudio.
Your tournament is about to get exploded.
And that hatchet kit getting blown up.
Pakistan in Japan.
And we can all get a slow caliber in the next decade.
I mean, it could happen.
It'll be about 10 years.
Yo, you got a bracelet next time you come up.
If it does happen.
Say less.
I got you, my guy.
I'd like to think that there's a possibility.
All right, bro.
I got you.
Say less.
I don't bring a bag just for you.
Midchecks right now from me.
and you see you hop his tambourine going to that dispel magic, that mid-strike
screaming that he has the threat of the high-spiling one
he can follow up with the sidestep four there
going with the circle of judgement, screaming this time
high mid, high mid, not letting the trigger pull on the third hit
I think Bandai Namco is also in a situation
where they need to, they need to really focus on their own IP
they have a new ace combat game coming out, right?
so that's good but a lot of their IP is you know licensing like anime license
games and they're they really don't have a ton like Pac-Man is in a weird spot too
so they're probably looking at Capcom wondering like why don't we do that you
know I think a lot of and even squares doing the same thing I think I think
Like Capcom is doing to the Japanese game industry outside of like Nintendo you got companies like, you know big big pubs like
Square Enix and Bandai Namco wondering like what do we do with our catalog because their catalog is very big and they
Just haven't done much with it. You know
Yeah armored core happening again was cool
cool. Sega is doing it right now. Like Sega is in the process of doing it right now. And
what was Capcom's solution? Just making like bringing back their franchises and making
I'm good. That was it. Literally.
Well, people say like,
probably Cap problem is great with new IP as well. No, they're not.
Because you completely forgot about Exo Primal and Konitsugami,
but did not do good.
I'm not saying they were bad, but they did not perform well.
So Pregma is the first one that hits,
which is like great that they're doing new IP still when they don't have to
that's great
as fragmata is legit really good it's it's clearly like the most
digestible of all of those games to you know
so
still it's neat
games. We lived in the highest frames. This is discipline. They're gonna lose more licensing
after Toho established a gaming division. Yeah, I heard about that shit that like an
anime mega corp is...
If your office can't beat you, beat me up or more, you can break me. Get out of here.
You gotta be able to-
What'd he say? You gotta be able to-
Too busy fucking yapping.
What's your will here?
You're so close-
What the fuck did he say?
Get back into the-
What did Steve say?
Get it over.
Over the boss.
Activate.
Steve said the word yo and video games damn I'm going to sue and we I own those words
to turn the word video games and the word yo unfortunately you're going to jail
TM
Those are my words
That's a thank you
Was waiting in brands Ikari with Kizuya
Block it up
What a duck
Oh, Jesus, fuck!
Jesus, fuck, dude!
Bah! I just fucking punched his soul out.
Damn, you watch this top 8 and it really convinces you that this game is gonna be fun, I should play it.
Ha ha ha ha!
It really does it, it really does a good job convincing you, you know?
Yeah, this shit looks fun. I should play it.
It tricks you.
Oh, shit!
I have a- I mean, don't get me wrong. There's a lot of fun to be had in Tekken 8. There really is.
It's just been a very weird relationship
of the
fact that
if
Oh my God, he really chose.
Buy him.
Oh my God, what a punish.
He's been with punishing with that shit
for the entire night, for the entire night.
a set away from being another Evo Japan champions. But once again we know who's waiting in the
Raptors like staying in WCW days waiting to drop down and swooping.
Mask on, mask off. Drop it with a bat but you gotta get to that point first. You gotta
it's a person three affair here. How'd he stand here? No straight through the long set for sure.
I
Was bonkers that was that was fucking bonkers dude
I
Cannot unhear the yodeling song since I put it on this stage. I don't think that has changed since the game came out
Okay, 22, still short of the wall, but in good position for Claudio, rotation round for me.
Working the side step right, hatching kick.
Talk under the homie attack.
Circle string, side step four, low.
Big strides for me.
Oh my god, here.
Fried.
One round.
One round before Ney versus Ikari grand finals.
That was just early in calling it potentially.
to defend all of this.
Oh,
okay. Okay. It's over just
here. No matter how big the
car is and stacked against you is
not over just here. He had
garden side step guard on deck
the entire time. Top is
tender to speaking rate.
Trying to hook away in the
midrange like that.
Up east hand beer with the armor breaking the floor
And now we the goons find the trade
Oh
Slow touches adding up for these tan beer as well
two
years are tracking so hard
,
guy that plays second that's known for dropping combos a lot isn't that not is
that not me
well it's JDCR yeah JDCR
boom
from being two sets away from being evo champion again office that's a do
something nothing me is going to grand finals and successfully giving office
ten beer a third place showing here in evo Japan 2026 and you can see it
affect damn bro this is a tecan as fuck grand finals you're gonna be
versus the car but man go dude the car versus me this entire this is
Tekken as fuck Grand Finals right now
Kaz versus Brian and there's the chance of them switching is very low
Damn, dude
This might be some good shit might be it for some good shit here
He enters this top. They don't lose your side, but you give him this first to three with the way he is
sets this format. I think it's really
Yeah, yeah, but you got I want to see Ikari win it. I really do
Did he did he did he carry put
Knee and he is what I put knee into losers
We watch that yeah
He's able to read their timing and there you go
This is knees run back yes
No, it was time to your okay try remember a lot of happen since then
way to impose it on people and would you give him more games to work with like that trailer yeah if
you guys are waiting for the coonie trailer it'll probably be a bit after let's take a look at the
path that he even got to grand finals with you gotta remember he started on loser side of this
thing 30 over tatsu 3 2 over olsan that went to distance went down to the very last round
3 2 over ak same scenario 3 over half this tambir who put him in losers to begin with you
You can see, of course, Ikari having the craziest tournament run of his life right now.
Over Olsson, over Hoppins.
You're sure the token carries his name?
Yeah, it's on the YouTube channel.
Over Chikaran.
The video is already up right now.
Over AKC.
Thanks to Jorge for getting that done.
This dude's having a hell of a weekend.
Did you get your glasses through Zenny?
No!
No.
I don't even know what the fuck my glasses are.
I think they're just Ray-Bans.
They're old.
They don't even make them anymore.
Bitch, I can't even see this shit.
But I can tell you right now-
I don't know what the fuck this is
They're nothing special. They're just they're old. They're like a 10 to 12 year old rims
and I
Are sorry frames, and I have like two other backups
What do we I don't want to get to two weeks of fanboying. We might see a reset, right?
It is going to be a first to three a pair, but the thing is, he's calling right now. Is he armed?
Like, he's got a new pair.
No. No, I don't like it. I don't like the way any other glasses looks on my face, dude.
I've gone through this. I literally went and no shit, but two other pairs of these frames
so that I can never run out of them and I can just get the lenses replaced in case ones
break because I just plan on wearing these for the rest of my fucking life I just
don't like the way any they don't make them anymore I just do not like the way
any other glasses fit on my face fucking hate it damn I wear glasses that's
nuts wear glasses you remind me that I wear glasses and now I'm being all
self-conscious that I wear glasses. Fuck. Never think about it. I wear glasses. Now I'm looking
at myself. Jesus, I'm a fucking nerd. Oh shit, I'm not high. I just don't ever think about that.
Never think about the specs. You should get LASIK. No! LASIK's scary. There's a small chance in
Lasik it's a small chance boy
There's a small chance dude. I
Don't know if I want to trade that shit. I
Don't know if I want to risk that
Yeah, it's a 2% chance where you'll just
Not have good vision forever and it's like I
Like having eyes
Hmm the chances a chance. Yeah, why?
Just so I don't wear glasses I do that for I forgot to wear glasses
2% very low. Yeah, it is
2% that I'll never be able to do like see my kid throw up or some shit. Oh, let's not do that
It's still a chance
activation with the goal.
Whoa!
Once again, he needs to reset this. That means he needs to get three games, and then another three games. He needs six of them things.
If he wants five of them things.
Look at the pressure.
Yeah, let's see how the Mixed Green Party develops over time.
You see, if we have a sudden pattern inside this,
it's probably early on here in this set.
Audio is fucked up in the background.
Holy shit.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's around, he's party right now.
The No Mixed Up mix up, baby.
Some strong confidence against me here at Grand Fund.
It's the No Mixed Up mix up.
We know that the Hell Sweep is coming.
But the question is when?
and
a huge part of that
definitely comes by way of the health week when we come to
the hospital
whatever happens we went to the next time
try to
get the most risk there
no touch, flash, heal, and she's gonna be able to return on it is
got the heal
got the wall
to
There's a lot of goddamn damage
Oh my god
one
of the
one of the
You know, the
They're gaming right now to get
that. Right there. That's what
it's all about. We're still
We're in the span. Back one off the bus lanes and there we go.
Woo!
And that's going to be the first game on the board. He needs three to get the reset.
I know you might be getting a little happy. A little, a little angsty out there.
He needs three to get the reset. He needs three more to get the championship.
The card only needs three. If he can turn us around in any capacity
and get three games first, that is trophy and not needs trophy to win.
way to go ski not get too excited this is a person three a barrier but I hear
something
you know the termination is a cyborg that's him man that's him
and you fighting wise lady sleeping in her back you know he won't play that
girl my girl trying to take a nap bro what do you do take off
My god, dude.
That was fucking nuts.
Yeah, thank you be one appreciate it dude. Yeah, I said six is after this
Whoa my god, dude
,
and
one
of
the road in the is playing
way too good right now
is playing way too good
Don't answer that door.
Should I answer it?
Don't do it.
Holy shit.
He literally cannot be opened up.
It's insane.
It's funny it's that this is like the most offensive fucking tech in ever.
And usually the shit that actually wins the tournaments in these games
and is extremely prevalent in like the top eights
are the most defensive players.
It's funny. You don't really see a lot of it throughout the game as you play it, but at the highest level, dude, defense is insane.
And the reason it's impressive is because it's hard, right? Being defensive in this game is actually mad fucking hard.
Cause it makes you have to be so good at timing, and that's like honestly one of the most important things in Tekken is knowing when to hit.
Jesus dude.
What I do like about it is that it makes these performance in this even more impressive.
He's just sidestepping fucking everything.
Blocking like 90% of everything.
That's crazy dude.
All right, there we go
God damn
It was like he knew
Here's the problem is that in my brain when I'm playing this game I
I want to play like me and I know that I need to realize that that is a fucking
impossibility nobody nobody it's a fucking impossible that's my stupid brain
wants to play like this like walk around and counter and duck and punish I want
to do what me is doing here because it makes the other person look so stupid
it makes the other player like look like they're fucking awful at this shit
And it's addictive. It's very addictive to get that shit
Yeah, Lars goes against that logic and to be real ain't no one playing like that
Ain't no one's playing like that shit, dude. I need to stop. I need to get that fallacy out of my head
This is the mentality thing, you know
Where you need to have like a specific like mental state of like really like how you got to approach these situations
Instead of just running the goddamn offense
I think it's a bird when we've seen as the tire set so far
of
the
of
the lesson is never try
Yeah, so what me is doing, at least from a spectator's view, is that he's bringing the
pace of the game down.
And then he kind of makes the opposition play at his pace.
He's about to lose.
He makes the opposition play at his pace.
And you're just not going to be better at him at that.
makes you slow down to the point where you're playing at the speed he starts
playing at and all of a sudden he just starts whooping your ass like it's it's
crazy it's a trap yeah all through timing that's what's nuts dude he's not
doing it through like like putting pressure on him no it's it's a it's a
literal implied pressure. That's what's fucking crazy about it.
They're just movement and shit. And very well timed attacks like that's it. It's
so fucking cool. See chat, this is what I really like about Tekken. There are so
many levels to getting good at this shit. A billion. It isn't like you just like
a lot of modern fighting games where you just have to get good at this
thing or get good at that thing and then just get really good at like
just guessing right? There's that all over the place, but there's also like a
billion things in Tekken 8, much less Tekken in general, that you can get better at.
Fuck me, dude. So it's cool, like it's actually, it's it's me to know that like,
okay so I can't get good at being like me right now, but I definitely can get
good at this thing that's smaller. That feels good. You can feel an
incremental increase, you know?
When games have like a lot of depth in that way just just natural depth feels good
of the
the
almost reset
,
I
Was gonna say reina I was honestly gonna say reina. Yeah, that was the first thing that came to mind was reina
Now we saved the music for grand finals chat actual grand finals. This isn't it
Hey carries and winners right now even though it's not on screen
We go
That's how you know what's an eternal battle and a physical battle to hell sweet.
Bull.
Not close enough.
Being like too early for that tracking move that gave me extra breath and now they're fighting back enough.
Engage.
I think Ozzer's sending it. Yeah, but Ozzer's sending it's lame.
Like, the dude's a Guilty Gear player, so you gotta give him like a cool Guilty Gear style character.
that the closest you're gonna get to that is like uh like like a rena reset
it's a first to three for everything but with the way that set went and with the way he looks like
He's playing right now
Bitch, can you like just get hit by shit? No, I don't think I can like no, okay
Let's sat down. I
Know it like sometimes just stopping such an asshole. All right, that's all right
Don't be an asshole. All right
They're playing for side
Oh, no, I feel like you can't get nobody else.
Oh, man, what's old dude?
They always be slapping people.
He's always at the mafia.
Bro, can you quit sidestepping all my shit?
All right, raw paper scissors, raw paper scissors.
I'll stop sidestepping.
Oh, biggo, shut up.
This is the issue of the game.
This is the issue of Tekken opening up sidesteps to Soul Calibur level responsiveness, which is what they did in Tekken 8, which was an incredible change for the game.
You now have these players dancing around people.
This motherfucker is literally dancing around dudes as they're just whipping in one direction.
Sidestepping is so much better than it ever has been in Tekken now, even though there's a lot of tracking.
That this fool is just walking circles around his opponents. I
Kind of love it
To be real
It's if there's one thing I deeply appreciate about Tekken 8 if there's a lot of things that are our cumbersome about the game
That season 2 sidestep change was godlike
Godlike dude got rid of the weird buffer from sidestepping. Thank God dude
Then they locked in Steve Joe
Punching the car
To try to punch his ticket to get another one on the board
I keep forgetting you can sidestep from crouch. Yeah, that was a big change too
Play better in player one
I
Any character I can play in player one except me she was
And I don't play many Mishima's but I cannot play Mishima's on player one
Chat there's a natural if you're playing this game at anything below like Tekken God rank
And you run into somebody using either kazooia or like Jin or Devil Jin or some shit
Throw them to the opposite side and then just win.
Telling you.
I'm telling you.
If you fight anybody that's playing Amishima, throw them.
They flip sides and they'll 99% of the time not know how to do the moves from the other side.
That's one of the reasons I stopped playing Jann a little bit.
I was like, fuck.
I had to break this barrier.
Yo-ho-ho-ho!
Yo-ho-ho!
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!
Yo!
Can't you pull straight the open enough?
Well, we got some electricity, okay?
Mars and Meshima, right? Well...
And everything but inputs.
Generators on backup!
We call you right now!
Wall pressure!
These days of emergency...
Let's block the tsunami!
What's all this technology?
We'll sign one on my demo.
Ooh!
What the fuck was that?
Barely ever seen Kazooie do that shit.
Oh!
Damn!
Ikari woke the fuck up.
Uh-oh.
Ikari got the right side.
I just realized.
Ikari literally got the right side.
I got the side switch buff.
Holy shit.
Oh no, and dude, if Ikari...
No, they can't, they can't guess for sight again.
This is reset, this is it.
I got a power on in these houses, the chip, the slam, the chop, it's still got the wall, that big poor Mrs.
Bro!
What a fucking punish, Twin Pistons the shit out of him.
Big punish, full launch, and there's the deal, first game of the reset, the cottage,
steaks his claim, he's like, nah, he's like, hey, come on, get the fucker over here,
come on, let's go!
He's like, get the fucker over here!
Hurry up!
Stand up, motherfucker, come on!
RPS my ass, let's go do it again run it back
I
Realized as I was talking about that that that's literally what's happening. He wanted his side
Shit
And that's not that's a beefing chat right for some reason
like a ton of vishimas want player two
That's not just me that like for some reason vishima inputs are just so much easier
Crouch cancelling and should is so much easier on player two
It's like a different fucking player
right now Akari's like nah bro you're not walking over me you thought it was gonna be easy
nah the first game in this game bro hey what the
so now yeah because Akari's a fucking super offensive kazooia
he has to read just here look at him dashing up to him so now we're really starting to see like
the balance super offensive versus like extremely defensive and it feels like his offense is waking
the
the lead of the crack knees defense holy shit what a punish the should be a
of the
role of men, and on the
one of the switch seats because the car he asked for it because he wanted player two side
and he won the rock paper scissors so he got player two side and he just plays better
on player two.
Traditionally when you practice tech in a play online my god dude when you practice
He's taking a play online. You get the choice of player one or player two, but when you're
in a physical location, you can't split the monitor feed. You have to choose one. Do I
get left side or right side? Bro, I can see through his prescription. You zoom in anymore.
I beat them three games straight good luck
The knee is too honorable I would have refused the side switch nah
Nah, I think it's in the rulebook right that is traditionally in a Tekken
competitive like rule set where if you want to have a specific side you just
play rps for it you can't you can't I don't think you can decline it but you
can't do it in the middle of a set the set has to finish we have to do it
before the set and I'm pretty sure they rps before the set for the side
That's it's not that weird because in Tekken it's so important
What the fuck is he is he going for a story is he trying to get more horsepower for his story
now one of the two back for a lot of rain crazy on the way but you gotta get
there first and also he's got an electric of this home you don't have to
rely on orbital you don't have to worry about these things that don't get a
combo started if you call it right there in the air it's about the test
in the mid-range yes one hundred percent one hundred percent oh shit one
no combo but you also got down for one two to make it get a little chip as
well and you got a hill sweet but you know you can vary it with timing a lot
more as well but of course cultural instinct as well yep and that's what I was about to say warriors
instincts are
rocking that's what you're talking about side walking
walking through the graveyard to put you in the ground hey
Oh my god, I didn't see a coming but he's got a stick to this you can only do it for one game
It's got to be three games straight
Still it's there and look your health speed doesn't work the way that it used to but that's why those big folks are going to be important
the
I don't know.
Get the flash watch in the exchange after, but that's the kind of scary stuff that you
can do.
Literal Meshima Grand Finals.
The way that this guy, Marty, is playing right now, but you're not afford to give
him those kinds of away.
Oh my god he walked around his whole bitch ass.
Oh
No fucking punish
Oh, shit!
The Tekken One.
Oh, the game.
Now for two.
Time to see.
Oh.
Woo!
Goddamn, potentially final round.
Hope you can't wait for Chikari.
Again, Awaken me.
Awaken me.
me is not punishing these hellsweep
cities he's unfamiliar
oh oh no oh this is gonna do so much
fucking damage holy shit
okay
That's Andy right there!
Oh my god!
Wow dude!
Yo that dude was crazy!
So you ain't ever melted no answer no microphone
You ain't ever did that!
No man, it's weird!

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, here we go.
Once again, the body of this game.
That will be this time.
We'll be the champion of those games.
Oh, rather than.
Oh shit, the patience!

Sorry, I don't know what the fuck happened. I'm glad the stream, the whole stream didn't freeze.
Call spooky.
electric. Old Tom's man, the old man still got it. What a challenge. What a converge here to get the wall.
Anyone? Break the stress. Hold it in. He's holding in. Oh, the heat smash, the hold it out. Not letting go.
I don't care what happens after this. Get nice. Get this in place.
You're supposed to be dead, old man.

Oh my god!
Oh my god, fuck, dude!
Holy fuck! Holy shit! Holy shit!
Holy shit! That was amazing!

That shit was pretty cool
Yeah, friend thanks for the five good subs
He killed his dad.
He got the W.
Tekken 8 looking real cool right about now.
Righting a nice high.
And check out this one, man.
Tekken 8 looking real goddamn cool right about now.
It's what this shit does sometimes.
I'm going to hop this tan beer.
Knee and double jeopardy gets the dub.
And the win here at Evo Japan 2026 Tekken 8.
Mishima users, you got to be.
You got to be.
You got to highlight.
Mishima Grand Finals in Tekken 8.
I don't know if it's fucking happened yet outside when Jen was like broken and shit. No, I don't know if that's even really happened that much in Tekken 8
This is not that game
This isn't tag-two or some shit, you know
That's crazy
That was crazy
It ends up being a fucking lore match as well.
So sick.
Man, this is so much fun to watch.
versus even like first. Yeah, really like a couple of those sets just the back and forth adaptation counter adaptation was really, really fun to watch.
But congratulations to Ikari, local warrior out here, bro, got his side, bro, literally rock, paper,
scissored for the right side for P2.
And he was unchained.
It was like it was it was like he dropped the weights.
been out of your hustling and grinding and when they get the big dump like this one that
like the fucking Naruto episode you know you gotta give thanks to the the dudes fighting
Gara the Rock Lee moment yep when you win and you like when you win and you can't all your
it was straight to the ground thank you oh my god thank you D
Tekken's an rps game in real life as well
Well, once after this, we're going to get a trailer most likely, and, um, uh, 3x6.
Thanks, sir, thank you.
Cloud, thanks for the 5. All you know is dropping in a volcano to complete the lore.
How about this chat if those uh those leaked characters for Street Fighter 6 better get
announced right tonight right they better get announced tonight if they don't get announced
then it was all complete horseshit if Vega or those other characters don't get announced
Then we're all going to acknowledge that it was complete horseshit, and we need to stop doing this
We don't get Vega or Goken or whatever the fuck
Why did I because y'all think it's gonna happen because some leakers said it was true. I
Don't think it's true. I don't think Vega's in the game
I will spread the dissenteration anyways.
2,500,000 yen.
I
Nice arguments senator, why don't you back up with a source my sources that I made it the fuck up
It was a game that I liked since I was in elementary school.
I couldn't believe that I was in front of these great players.
I just kept doing my best.
But today, I got lucky because I felt lucky.
And...
I made myself regret it.
No probability, Max already played season 4.
BITCH!
What the fuck do you think I am?
I'm playing season 5.
What is this bitch made shit?
I am translating.
that
it was a bad 2026 of all these dudes have boxes
Congratulations to the champion!
I saw the go-
Dude we were making fun of this chat like literally yesterday, where no shit.
We were making fun of them giving away leverless to like these old arcade games and shit for
the top players and they're like what the hell is this?
And literally last night I saw the clip of the Darkstalkers guys getting their
leverless sticks and the guy like looked like this 40 year old dude like looked at
this and was like like like strummed it like it was a guitar what the fuck is this like what do i do with this shit
oh shit here we go uh trailer after an incredible top eight damn let's see how much coony mitz is
is gonna piss everybody off. She better have an air fireball right. She needs to have air
Kunais and then she can teleport after them right the design is a lot it's a lot yeah
I saw a wild ass command dash forward
Oh
Whoa in motion whoa that costume is actually kind of sick
Oh no this costume should have been the main oh Jesus dude this should have been the P1 costume what the hell
The other one just looks like a Korean MMO skin, okay
Okay
Let's see if you're worried that you'll be caught in the trap.
Cool.
This is her theme, it's pretty heave.
Oh boy.
Oh boy!
Dude she gets oaky after the ender too.
What the hell?
Yeah, with the Odaichi?
Bro, we're not playing Neo.
Chill.
Huh.
Not bad.
She doesn't have a flame scarf.
Yeah.
I ended up really not liking this.
I think it's cool looking here, but in motion?
No!
on it looks cool not like over-the-moon
what
whoa combo breaker we're getting whoa what so soon in a few weeks we get to know
the final character we get to finally see Vega what if the Tekken guys were so
pissed that people were saying that their character is being leaked for another
game and they're like well it's time to show them what actually is happening
How crazy would that be?
Wow. Who knows.
Vega?
For Tekken?
Vega and Tekken finally?
break is gonna be our first look at whoever that mr. Character may be and
it's coming up soon it's not it's not that's close to what end of the month
into the month and you guys to get to see what the next character is but i mean
look i said this before now i'll keep saying it every time and these top
eight for taking what if it is the waffle house amazing to see these top
players come out like these points try to get these spots with the house
itself second world tour or e w c it's not a stage so i just wanted to say
the whole house. Like it's
fighters megamix. What if it's
the Waffle House manager.
This is the game that they play.
This is what they're going to do regardless. So when you see the
players play and perform and they can get champions like that, people who just
had a good weekend would be like, all right, that's a great that's
She looks pretty good like super inspired, but she looks showed up to play this it is coonimitsu, you know
It's crazy that she's DLC again it really feels like we're repeating a lot of DLC characters from second seven
Although Bob and Roger ain't them
Not done yet. You guys know what everybody else is packing in here for. Street Fighter 6 is going to start soon. We'll be right back, but we'll catch you guys next time. Everybody be easy.
That was a great Top 8 though. My god dude. That Top 8 was godlike.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll have to see if we can give Kunimitsu a cool Strider ult. I'll have to see.
I'll have to say, maybe we can.
That's exciting.
We're going to know the final character.
I wonder, here's the thing.
I wonder if the final character is after is going to be anything special.
But at the same point, it's like, why would they not tell us who it is?
It has to be something special.
The only reason they were holding out for all these months must be because it was
something substantial, you know?
Just saying.
That's just like Lucky Chloe.
That just ends up being Lucky Chloe or some shit.
It's Lei Wulong, you know?
I've still been wondering if they're going to do the Angel Jin shit, if they're eventually
going to do that. Angel Jin, and they say it was a brand new character. Yeah, they didn't
say it was a brand new original character to Tekken, which is what, which is what the,
I forgot her name.
Meary Zoo.
Which is what Meary Zoo was, damn.
I forgot that chick's name.
That was an original Tekken character
and they hyped her up as such.
They didn't say that.
They said this is like a brand new character to Tekken.
So it could be a guest character
or it could be, you know, something else.
this is way too bright brother way too bright no i don't think a vf guest makes any sense
because there's no fucking virtual fighter there's no vf6 dude it doesn't make any sense
to do a VF five thing because that's like kind of the oldest.
you
We figured that Tekken fans would be kind of upset that I would take up two character
slots in the next season over existing Tekken characters and I'm just like, no, they'll
like it.
They'll, they'll like it.
They'll be into it.
So what, chat? We're getting a costume trailer?
Is that what you think is happening?
A costume trailer?
I gotta mute this shit, dude.
This stuff is all copyrighted.
Jesus Christ.
I don't think there's gonna be any trailer.
I'd be surprised if there was anything, dude.
Did you beat Crimson Desert Offstream?
Dude, I didn't just beat Crimson Desert Offstream.
I slept with it and married it.
Let me check.
of
May 28. Yeah, it is May 28
Hmm
Anything good
When I slept with the box copy of the game like it literally joined me as I went to bed chat
Don't be don't be fucking weird
Christ you stop being weird
Oh
Blockable setup that's why he did that she's going down after the throne next man versus Street Fighter side tournament. Oh, okay. I'll take blast
Well, here we go
I
Shimpachi with the infinite yes, I
Wonder if he's gonna do it again nice
Damn bro
Yes
It's over. Yeah. Yeah.
So, I think it's me and
Oh, Justin. Okay. Oh, it's Justin up.
Dude, chat. Check this out.
Somebody sent this to me on Twitter.
Look at this.
All right.
Going to get Justin versus you.
The sky leads into the same sky in part 2,
which will lead into the same sky that will,
the same blue sky that'll be part 3.
Look at that.
It'll be some like high wind in the sky or some shit.
That is, that's definitely intentional.
That's definitely intentional.
They're all three going to line up with each other.
It's going to tell some sort of like narrative.
Kind of cool.
Oh, it's Justin. Oh shit.
Ooh, very nice.
Dude, the thing is, there's a pretty healthy X-Men vs Street Fighter scene in Japan.
I play like weekly.
They're good.
Okay, Justin, take it for the skies. Nice. Nice super.
Very good. Very good movement.
Here's the crazy thing. Justin probably hasn't played this game in months.
if not a year and his his absolute insane alien brain doesn't lose muscle
memory it's his fucking superpower he literally will learn something once and
never forgets it he doesn't need to acclimate again his brain just remembers
how to do it if it's in his muscle memory so he just comes back to a game
Like he just stopped playing it
He's like an Omega level fucking mutant in the fighting game space. That's crazy. I guarantee you
He wasn't like practicing very much for this. He just jumps in and remembers how to do shit
It's like I talked to him about it. I'm like, how the fuck do you remember how to do this?
He's like, whatever. He's like if I do it once it is don't forget it. I'm like, what the
What the fuck that's crazy
That's fucking dope
Where's k.i hold on a second
K.i also going down right now damn bro Japanese version of killer instinct there is a small killer instinct Japanese scene
They're still on break, they're still on waiting.
Yeah Domi was one of the best killer instinct players, he was the guy that brought out Cinder,
I did commentary for that year of KAI, he got the bomb loops in EVO top 8, they were
fucking going nuts I remember when I play when I play I play him he didn't pick
auto this is new new new strategy yeah new strategy really it works huh yeah
is it cheap yeah cheap why is it cheap is it auto block yeah maybe it should avoid
like unblockable like this yeah oh that's why oh but he takes a lot oh yeah
what the fuck I didn't know that on auto there's a strategy for you
easier there's a strategy for like the the auto gameplay version like the the
modern mode in this you don't have three meters what the fuck you're right I've
dude I've never seen because I've never played the game with that shit I've
never seen that shield before an X-Men vs. Street Fighter I've legit never seen
it before that's so weird so it prevents auto prevents the incoming
unblockable mix. Holy shit. Huh. Infinite has got to feel so bad. No, it comes with the
territory. In this game, you know what you're getting into. In these old games, you know
what you're getting into. Yeah, this is one and done. It's not even best two out of
3
Cyclops boring
Oh my god, Abagin is on Marble 3.
Wow.
Alright.
Marble 3 heads are going in.
You see how good the KI guys are really quick.
Wow.
Yeah, K.I. has a Japanese name.
And I saw the Okato Fullscreen issue I was having, I switched capture cards, which froze
on me earlier I don't know what the hell happened there that's very weird
these dudes are good damn fucking Larry yeah this guy's name is Larry brings
Another fat dude his name is Jerry
Hash it out shit you didn't get the the rest in
He's not dead, that's crazy dude, so little damage.
There goes Jerry.
Jerry got three hits though.
Alright, those two down.
Oh unblockable overhead or that's just an overhead main stream is back. Okay, I've held up
Liar liar

It's okay, I don't speak English.
Cool.
Hold up.
What's going on?
Oh.
Someone's getting soul-fisted.
Thank you for watching.
I'll be there in a few.
That's all.
The game is not that good.
If you're interested, play the game.
No, no.
There's no game.
There's no game news.
But you know exactly where it is.
The game is about to be taken by a committment.
I'm not a loser.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
This poor Raccoon. Damn!
Oh, shit.
Oh.
This poor Raccoon.
This absolutely poor Raccoon.
Alright.
This is it guys.
the shit is in my inner ear
This is it. Whoa. Oh, he took off. Oh, oh, so yeah, okay. It's not in my right ear. It's like in my inner ear
We can allow roll by Justin Wong
Holy shit switch it to mono. No, it's like behind my brain
He wants this he wants a moment and so I'm gonna come in with no meter
They're on arcane hardware chat. They're doing what what they can with what they got. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Well Justin fall the auto mode will he literally fall the auto mode
more screen shake all right here we go does he get the unblockable you got it
oh my fucking guide yeah yeah it's over oh oh fucking Justin dude for some
reason Justin has infinite muscle memory and he also has a woman's trait
from injustice I don't get it all right I don't get how this dude can walk out so
much
oh wow oh my fucking god
nope
what the fuck
how many outs did he have
he had so many outs
So tournament should have died four times time evil Japan champion for expert versus street fighter. All right out of modes pretty good
Justin Wong not the long factor. It's just Aquaman's injustice trade. He just gets slippery
That's crazy good matches everyone good matches
How do you feel? How do you feel about that about automo?
You know, I understand the weaknesses but the strength of like him blocking my
Bad time for the mic to go out.
Damn.
Unfortunate.
Kick super, but then he obviously push ball check if it was me. So because I thought okay if he blocks this and I just do it again
I should win, but he grabbed me right so that was unfortunate more and also the super I missed maybe he was already too high
It's kind of how I lost last time
Same shit
Thank you Justin. Thank you for participating as well
And yeah, that's going to be it guys
guys. Okay, so I asked Justin to repeat his opinion on auto. Unfortunately, Justin's a
busy man, so you probably won't have to ask him, you know, maybe on X, you know, or any
other platforms on his streams. So, unfortunately, he is busy doing his own content creation
right now. But thank you guys. Thanks to everyone that participated in the tournament.
Did you want to say something? Okay. Yeah. We're going to have one more interview
with Momo 10 so hold on for a second guys. Is that grand finals?
But I think of the talk about announcements, the YouTube video is literally live.
It is literally live right now.
Yeah.
I'm looking for shit chat.
Taken Twitter is the next one.
It's uni in detail.
What do you mean?
Cooney?
Yeah.
Okay.
S.O.
Six is on.
It is.
Hey, Muzino.
Muzino.

Yeah, too far kill.
You wanna dominate us and I was cold as fuck? Well at least the worm's up good.
Okay man, did you see that?
Even with all these hits, oh that was scary.
Oh, hey.
I got it.
What was it dude?
Like, man, you got all these hits and you don't have a baron in.
Just a baron.
Oh man.
Good bet if six is starting.
Yeah, could you believe that Street Fighter 6, say, fighting games?
Can you believe a shot?
It's like the Jesus of fighting games.
It's the FGC Jesus of fighting games.
That's crazy.
That would be Street Fighter 4.
I think 6 is going to go on and sell more than 4 in it's lifetime.
Especially if it gets Vega.
Okay, so caliber.
Yeah, Punk and Knuckle did made it to top 8.
Damn, Mena's not winning Evo Japan again.
I just realized that.
That's kind of crazy.
proposed to the hour going to get the fiance buff
Ho!
Oh, I had to go and check what he said.
Oh, Hope.
Oh.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
Ho-o-o-o-opee!
Damn, look how young all these dudes are.
Holy shit, look at all these children.
Shuto is, it has some age on him.
Still a bit younger. Let's get the chute obeyed bro new generation literal new
generation
chute was not the youngest no no he's been around right chute goes in his 30s is
not shut up I remember when knuckle do was like 14
where's knuckle do's fucking chair where is it
Did he bring his chair with him?
Damn.
It's just vlogging.
Everything's for the content.
2026, presented by left-hack, Street Fighter 6, the finals.
Ijo Hashime no Senishi ni yori arou.
Street Fighter was 27.
God damn it.
Let's again, again!
Let's again!
This legendary top eight.
Oh, man, I can't wait, brother.
Obviously, this top eight, like all the top eights in Street Fighter 6,
got a mix of familiar faces and new players.
He managed to keep the same note for that long.
That's actually talent.
I don't even know if I can do that.
He held that note for so long, it became like a brown note.
Take some bodies and put them in bags real quick,
including the enemy right next to you.
Let it all lose.
You won, I believe, in the earlier bracket
and took a lot of other people down to get here in the first place.
I was definitely one of the favorites, I know punk took him out as well to actually get here for the top eight, but I'm excited to be here.
A what? A brown note.
Representative of course, to be able to see the showcase, they tap it.
Like a musical chord, a sound note that just makes you shit.
I'm very excited to see how this goes.
It just makes you evacuate your bowels.
You can't and there's no control over it. It's called the brown note.
There's hope coming in from Taiwan.
It exists.
It was about to happen. I literally prevented you guys from evacuating your bowels while watching.
You wouldn't even have noticed it. You'd have looked down and went, fuck.
I'm trying to look out for you.
How this is going to play out, because again,
this is where we get a brand new EVO Japan champion.
Yeah, for the first time in three years, right?
No, I don't have any.
They didn't happen to me.
Let's take a look at that bucket and see
who is actually the contention.
No, that would never happen to me.
I have too much experience in events like this.
I'm worried about you.
I would never do anything that embarrassing.
I'm thinking about you, Chet.
It's for your kids.
Now, we've got Knuckle Dew versus Punk.
It is going to be a team kill.
the loan to wow they stuck these bitches and then chuteau versus tucker tucker piano otherwise known as
bro hunk and knuckle do you gotta fight each other like it's all weekly Jesus man
that's crazy so i'm just trying to see who's gonna team kill man it's so much three fighters
so much on the line obviously we got a lot of the contenders that we usually see from
from the name brands, of course MenRD, of course did not make it this time around, but I'm all
about that fresh sneaker smell. So I want to see who's going to take that championship home
and it's easy to pack as well. So we're starting to see.
Almost definitely, man. And I think we'll probably start at the very top right with
Hope and Yamaguchi. He's going to be interested in his team, the Yamaguchi versus somebody like
Mai. And how Yamaguchi has been adjusting his style since some of the changes to Mai, right?
Obviously a little bit easier to combat. She's still very much a full flesh force in this game as we got two in top eight
So don't get that twisted, but I think maybe some of the modern stuff could
Potentially open up some avenues that we don't particularly see in the magical on right
I think one of the things we had talked about is what she loses and what she has access to more frequently
Right, we talked about some of the normals that she might not have access to which is gonna get into the gameplay itself
We talk about it
But there always is that one underlying factor of being able to use these shortcuts and take advantage of certain situations at the blink of an eye, essentially.
Yeah, man. I mean, look, just a modern hockey is definitely sticking out some of your favorites, including no other prodigy that we suffered to meet that hockey situation throughout this whole tournament.
So we're going to see how this spins off against everyone else going to bracket. I mean, I feel like that's like unfamiliar territory.
Obviously, you got something that you can just react to with bats and with drive-in bats.
So this dry brushes in general with level one,
two, but it's pretty easy to see what's in the bag and tricks.
Moving forward.
That's actually one of my favorite parts
about tournaments being in Japan is
that there's so many strong modern players here,
which is an absence in a lot of the other parts of the world.
So when we get North Americans coming over here,
they always are like taking a bag.
And if you don't get to practice to get instead,
if you don't arrive here early,
get some rango and see these strong modern players,
it's a whole different ball game going up against them
in tournament.
So no surprise, somebody like Hope
has made it all the way here to winner side
with Yaki as well.
I want to see because we talk about obviously the shortcuts some snipes with the supers and one not the level to ask some distance
I wonder if you can snipe a fan or two or from Yamaguchi, especially if it's buffed up
You know minds are gonna want to do it after all
Warrior from Taiwan. I just want to put that out there man. Yeah
You see the favorites over Japan USA, but I always like
This is going to be pretty cool
I might just be his debut in regard to
I know he's part of the gamer B cup and he's also been a part of like the online qualifiers for the CPTV a world warrior
He's actually been ranging within the top three the top eight very very consistently taking a couple of second places as well
So getting his highlight here at evo says it pretty big
It's nice about streaming tournaments from home
to see a lot of players go through a lot of these changes in the meta fam family so close
you know you think that's really kind of 5 players being able to stick with their main
characters like no he's not going back to my but you see the Gucci still maintaining
the dial do you think that has a lot to talk about a lot to say in regards to how the
hell is this I don't know what the hell this is especially when we're just getting
into the meta still right where's this tournament on this patch right so I think people are
going to try to stick with with a familiar
Grow was so much fun in this game dude
Although he was the beginning of the Tekken 8 stance mix
I'll be honest
He was kind of like the start of it. It's it's crazy to think that like grow is Soul Calibur stance mixing and
There are second eight characters that do it harder than he does way harder
Soul charge is just heat it really is you know Soul Charge is heat, but it's not as it's not as volatile
Like when you hit with Soul Charge, it is not nearly as powerful as Heat.
You have way more options with Heat.
Well, that was hell-arguer in this game
And he's dead
Wow.
That's how Six is about to start.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ah, but this is an armor, so it's not too much of a risk.
4-4-8, let's go.
I don't have any confidence in this one either, I'll just go for it.
I'll go for the other side.
This is the biggest from the 4-3-2-4-4-4.
2-2-8, I bought it.
I'll cut it, cut it.
This Yoshi is HALO good.
I was just told it was HALO good.
Oh, they're figuring out how to plug in their controllers.
We're here for 20 minutes.
Oh, lethal hit.
Boom.
I
Wow
Nice sidestep
I'm not gonna run away from here!
Danzo!
I knew it, I'm gonna get a chance to get out of here.
It's not over yet.
What?
It's not over yet.
Oh, they're in free play right now.
Oh, my God, getting full gourd.
Getting full gourd.
They're still setting up.
What's going to happen to this guy?
What's going to happen to him?
I don't know what he's going to use.
I think he's going to use the Setsuka.
Hold up. Switching to Street Fighter.
They're living room watching some Street Fighter 6. Only this time we're in front of a big-ass crowd here in Evo Japan.
We I just turned around yes indeed brother
It is time. We know how much Japan loves Street Fighter 6 and they have come out in full hockey modern hockey in top 8
What the shit?
Modern hockey in top 8
I think it's the second rubber barrier and oh I'm back at you
Big one, it's of course big starter as well
All hands on deck with big quick boys and what's it gonna be here for old city, no
Awaiting the reversal on the side of Yamaguchi, no bite
Ooh, buffer that stand, media put to the drive, rest, cancel
More than believe the now one, we gotta spin the level one to end it
I think so
Okie combos are so fucking long
I'm pretty sure these guys, this is the first time they've got to meet each other
So this is going to be an exciting way to get to know each other.
I'm the Gucci star and so aggressive right in that last round.
We're trying to nullify the space that Aki can kind of occupy.
I like that.
We're going to have a double entendre right there.
Oh yeah.
Okay, the overhead block. That was nice to write the fans for the Espacio.
There's the folk. I mean we lost sight of the standing lightning,
but I think standing midi kick is still an option, right?
Yeah, you see that kind of use as a space tool.
The Punish counter being able to get the sweep follow-up after with a little bit shy on the stand jab
This is got to put you chance to start a shine now that he has the install ready
Hope does have the level two of those. I'm interested to see many sites start to come out
considering the modern controls
Yeah, usually some of the people that are like really good with modern controls
Aren't carried by the modern controls. It's a choice
Like modern takes away these things but it adds these other values
So it's not like the person that has made it to the highest level of competition
It's only there because modern controls carried them the whole way
They're likely very good at the game normally, but it's a choice, you know
They're making it so that you can react better or react with like single buttons on this thing at the behest of damage and you know
losing some attacks and shit
You don't want to get mad, uh, mad-mine started.
Ooh, that was a deep uppercut!
Oh, dang.
Sniper down for the punish count, I see you holding.
Oh, don't press, we're gonna press first.
And that's the kind of cool thing about modern is that it makes some characters like fundamentally different.
It's almost like a variation in Mortal Kombat X, you know?
Like, you have to play him differently.
in that final round right there.
He's been able to really push hope to the corner
at the beginning of every single round.
So we're gonna see if Hope, I think,
needs to get a little bit more active in the neutral
before we get there to kind of stop
being in this poor position.
You strike so hard, right?
Like we've talked about some of the spacing tools
that Aki does have and some of the ones
that she kind of lets go of when it comes
to being in modern.
Standing medium kick has been like the primary tool
to keep Yamaguchi away temporarily,
but it doesn't lead to anything massive, right?
You do get a punish counter, you get a sweep.
What do you do afterwards?
You back up, you set up for fan,
center for puddle, etc. Like what happens? Yeah, exactly. So you hope to make more happen
when she does get an offensive turn.
Oh, confident walk up with the fan. Who's not a fan of mine, huh? Let's go for another
throw. Yes. We got the throw loose as we usually have. Damn.
He walked up like a mile, backed it up just a little bit, whole hook line, a sink.
We're gonna hit the defensive call too.
Mm-hmm.
There we go.
How are we gonna get the comeback though?
Obviously we need the boys off on the back though.
Looks like he's delayed a little too hard, but a little too close for Kofi.
Yamaguchi puts that in his back pocket.
So aggressive in that corner, right?
It's just so difficult for him to try to contest the way Yamaguchi's been playing so far.
Can he get the target combo, applying the poison?
What do you do out of that?
Hope.
There you go.
There is no hope.
I'm trying to go for the open up head, I feel like Hope is more on the defensive man, I don't know if we're just trying to anticipate too much fan play, right?
Trying to look for some counter-fegers here, and now we back, but I like the back dash, anticipating to throw this time, oh wow!
That's that space in there you highlighted, Vicious Yamaguchi is so good at setting up shop in the corner, and just outspacing his opponent, making them over commit to something.
It's crazy, someone that hasn't really kept up with Street Fighter and played it as much as I had to deal with Mai.
it's crazy that mine puts you in standing oaky situations right like the
wake-up dealing with wake-up is really hard of this because of rps and she
literally makes you do it on in neutral you know she doesn't even need to knock
down use it like okay it's just time to fucking guess it's awful I'm curious
with the meta of Street Fighter 6 is because I like somebody made a funny
observation when I was going back and I was like playing the game with some
characters and stuff like Alex people are like Max really plays this game like
it's season one of Street Fighter 6 and I'm like that makes sense because I don't
know what the hell has changed enough of where the meta eventually went because
that's where my brain is at whatever I play this I said the same thing when I
was playing like Alex and ranked and Segot when I got them when I got
I got the master we've actually places like season one of three putters six and I'm like I need to understand why
I need to figure out why I need to be doing to not to not do that, right?
That'll be a good opportunity if we play some fucking Terry
Dude my bitch ass still presses
forward forward on all drive rush cancels I still do that whenever I jump
back into this shit like I just never like stupid fucking brain the mediums
are way better you're crazy I know the thing is I never had enough time to
acclimate and get used to shit after like you know the game was in that
season one because they started playing Tekken that change it did they made
drag rush cancel that you can press the mediums they kept the older way don't
get me wrong you can still press it with the older way but the two mediums now
I do it which was smart. That was a better change
I find it funny that the goofy shit that we figured out when the game very first game out
still works
Yes, where you press
forward forward in neutral for a raw drive rush
You press forward forward and on the second forward you press mediums and you get you get drive rush on like the first frame
There's some goofball thing that we figured out instead of holding it down and then pressing forward forward
That's still good
Comes in the drive rush comes out on frame one
We have hope for the obvious
Do what they're saying.
Yeah, see that's all one game right now.
Bring him back three straight.
Take down Yamaguchi here.
Like that.
Getting shoved into the corner.
Sticking move.
Standing medium, kicking back dash on the side of home.
And I feel like every time we try to stick it forward,
we put some stuff in the corner pretty easy.
Plus frames.
Back throw.
Absolutely.
I need all this real estate.
Four-five order.
Like this, we adjust the two coming in from home.
We get another throw.
Immediate button press coming in from Yamaguchi.
coming in from Yamaguchi, creates some space for himself.
The mix brings shimmy.
Everybody gets hit with that.
It's crazy that she also gets from all this shimmy.
So that's pretty much the answer to my is,
you have the perfect parry, the first projectile,
or the follow-up one, you know?
No!
The proof ain't so quick with the reaction to the modern.
Dump the level two as well, burn them out.
Yamaguchi has nothing but this DI, and Hulk keeps rolling.
Excellent call-out from Ho.
Nice work with the modern reactions on both ends,
both the special and the super.
Okay, looks like we learned more in the defensive end.
We don't see no mid-screen shimmies on the side of Ho.
The conversion's off of that medium, but it's countered there.
Yamaguchi still might get burnt out here.
He's trying to bait something out.
He ends up using it on the driver's cancel.
Yeah, that's corner carry on the killer beat bump,
by the way.
Ho still got a little bit of space left.
He creates something for himself.
Got the OD knight shape,
which just brings Yamaguchi all the way back.
Look at how much shit you're taking if you find the gap in level one that might be a little bit
That's all I thought it was gonna be made it it looked like it right there
You just put the brakes on and blocked it, but now I committed to something
Now we have a fire trying to force the issue
Watch the fact that you're right. We're looking for something here for the good one
It's a pretty sure it's more respect on the planet face than anything
Cute combo no go for the overhead damn
I was waiting for level one.
It was really well timed and it caught on late button.
The certain last coming along more alongside the match in both driver versus all the purple doing all the work right now.
The poison taking down against Yamaguchi.
Oh, there it was. That's what we talked about.
Wow.
Oh defense, snipe down. Hope looking for it.
Wow.
Oh, he's taking it. What are you bringing up again?
of these. Oh, he's nervous, man.
Got to drink the fettel water.
Got to label it.
I'm on to me of lyrics from euphoria.
Let's go.
Let me get a throw here.
Let me put a tactical bag.
Yeah, I can put my camera in the middle so we can
not have to hide the, uh, right back at you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I put my camera in the middle.
I thought it was going to be a throw coming in from home,
but back to at least Yamaguchi might have got a defensive
attack.
100%.
Oh, I thought I'd been a whip when it's dead.
Wow.
Oh, Max, I can't see.
The logo.
Oh, that's crazy.
Shadow, one second.
Okay, there you go.
He was up 2-0 Hope all the momentum was on his side, but Yamaguchi even composed to bring that back
So hang out under this thing it's like right there, I'm gonna hang out over here. So make sure we don't get in the way of anything
Yeah
of the
two
into the yellow zone so I think Ho-Tra live.
I'm pitched to that least.
I mean, the drive gate is definitely going to suffer
regardless.
Something pretty dangerous with critical art here.
Hang on, the Gucci at the right space
with nothing but control.
Get some-
The generous gun.
And rewarded heavily putting hope into the losers.
That is a final winner, ladies and gentlemen.
He's going to be sick comfortably.
That is a guaranteed third place for the side of Yamaguchi.
Congratulations.
Got a chance closer and closer for the gold, man.
Neo, thank you for that 10
I'm in a million soon
Ooh, shut up!
Damn
Ooh
God damn, AGA felt so good in this game.
Frame rate, screen tearing, don't worry about it.
Ohhhh, bad counter-hit.
They eventually patched in the shit that makes it so that you don't lose the armor, right?
Or it visually stays.
They patched that in, right?
Constant, thank you.
It's in the options now, thank God.
Every character at the end of a fucking Soul Calibur 6 match in the first year was naked
in the end, including the dudes.
People like so.
How is it particularly on board with everybody losing their cool armor and looking like an
asshole that just woke up out of bed?
I didn't necessarily love it.
I'm accidentally ashamed.
Bitch, kink shaming is my kink.
Better not tell me what your kink is because it'll make you feel bad about it.
It gets me off.
Geez.
Got to come into a guard button.
or attacks are harder.
Oh, god damn!
Uh-oh, uh-oh, guess for life, soul charge for neutral.
Shit.
Two-fifth of six is starting, but what about this?
This is much better!
Nice whiff punish, holy shit.
Oh my god!
It's crazy how Gro literally has the victor.
You know?
Gro literally has victor's 1 plus 2 bullshit.
Oh shit.
Oh shit!
oh shit oh shit nice games cool as hell Cody versus Roman is up
These two now actually coming in from last year's performance. He was within the top 96
Now within the top eight as big as her does matches two inches tall on your phone. Oh, sorry. Okay. That's actually a good criticism
I assume that everybody's just watching on desktop like me
Matt's just two inches of my phone
I guess now it's quite surprising.
Oh, no, what the hell?
What the fuck was that? That was nutty counter hit, counter hit jab into juggle down sweep.
I like to delay on the down hit to throw off the perfect parry, but we flash kick it.
He's not scared, send it out to Fireball as well, just try it out to the directory of the fall.
Okay, I just pulled this full desk back after that. I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Sorry, we were talking about it before.
A jungle?
She had me wild.
Oh, so queen.
Oh, that's right. All you gotta do is just one normal.
You think we gotta overextend there?
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah.
So, we're not gonna really go past it, right?
That sonic boom, that sonic boom.
That super is gonna be bypassing any fireball on its way over.
Excellent reaction from the Luchi.
The sonic boom. It's from the heart and from the pain.
Oh, yeah.
That's a trolley.
Sonic boom.
Nice.
I was even a punished but condo and try to walk
Is that a link?
Very smarty below
Okay, I'm gonna call him back real estate and the lead on the side of Hibuchi
I feel like we're gonna get some demon flips represented here any minute now
Yeah that was one of his primary stress last time they didn't want to risk the DP
Every day it's all the lags
Right at range everybody feels that they can walk away but that low forward
The big toe is always available
Uh properly spaced
He was too stepping on them
school over here make some sand angels I like to see can I get another throw on
that is pure driver stand shorter to a throw you got a guest stand face we
shaving down those nails
oh that beat a flyers kicker was that
uh that one definitely not that time the half moons
uh but I think though he didn't recover in time but just like that the
properly space sonic moves to recover in time
I also thought that that would have left at least some leeway to maybe pursue buttons afterwards.
Now I'm not the same thing. You're not counter hit out of it.
Yeah, exactly.
Gucci at that point.
You didn't know that? No. Akuma's name in Japan is originally name of Goki.
Akuma was a localized version of the name.
It's the same thing with Gile.
Here it's Gile, but in Japan they call him Gwile.
Oh, right on time!
Punish counter two!
Yes, see the world upside down.
Oh, the Takumaki.
Let me get another throw. Absolutely.
I feel like one more is in at stake here.
Uh-huh.
And they're getting a lot more.
I'm trying.
Oh, two, three.
Yeah.
I'm flattening them with the three.
Willie as well.
That one puts around on board.
My favorite cereal.
Just pass me some oat milk.
Oh, OK.
Oh!
I thought I put them right there.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Bwah!
All right, the final record is out there.
You hold that while I think about it for a second.
Last kick stop jumping in my boy. All right properly space brown house. I see the world upside down
We're the perfect parry it off
That's nice. This is gonna get a punish you that guy'll shit sounds fake
Paddle of these boots right quick right at the bottom or real imprinted on your face
I was a war for your arrest kicked down the door
He got all three lock bolts
Let's go guy on back on his feet again though now showing some like signs of life
The throw absolutely that has been paying the bills miss green ain't that bad, but the corner you gotta be careful
But who do you think that driver snuggled on because he had just lost his charge usually
Oh, we respond the drivers will fly kick that time walking straight out of the demon flip
I'm gonna be one of the hardest goddamn characters you have to get in on when he is burned out
Good luck
Dude I saw a combo posted on Twitter of somebody that had like just under half life and
Terry
Hits a full drive gauge perfect parry, right?
Terry hits the perfect parry and then goes on to expend
The entirety of his combo on a of his of his of his hit with like a full drive rush combo after
Perfect parry and kills them
Legit had a kill combo after a perfect parry insanely scaled
And no shit. I could not believe the damage it did
Even after Perfect Parry, like, Triple Geyser cashed the fuck out. I was like,
Bro, what? This is nuts!
It was kind of incredibly cool. It was the final hit, everything. I was like,
Whoa, this is crazy. I love Triple Geyser, dude. It's like one of the most, like,
I honestly enjoy playing that character just for that move.
It's going to be tough, yeah, you are in danger.
Big jump down once again the air-fire ball.
Put in a cool match.
Did I try it?
No.
I only tried when it was playing Terry back
when he was bad when he first came out.
And he's gotten so much better.
Terry was just so hard to use when he first came out.
He had to have so much insane combo optimization.
And now he gets a lot of combo stuff,
but a lot more utility across the board.
Oh, I feel like over has even been represented that much and a Gucci student when he was thinking of
You're not six for the prime dude
There is a shot on now he's fucking he's he's he is literally alternate Ken in many ways
Crack shoot is not that different from dragon lash
Terri was more fun before they buffed him so much. Interesting. I'm curious.
I'm curious. I wonder if I'll like him as much when I get back, because I actually
enjoyed him because he was like kind of hard. I thought he was kind of cool. Maybe
he's less fun. The same shit that like, maybe that's the same shit that they
did to, um, Elphelt. I didn't like that about her. Hmm, I'll check. When I
eventually get back into it and like settle, you know, if there's like a
season four character I'm really into I gotta get better I want to play Terry we'll
see it didn't buff him much everyone just got there around him no dude they
gave him like his combo routes are much different like he can he can go into the
wall bounce so much easier yeah the consistency of his old combos was not
there like it was it was very specific
Yeah, that's pretty much the death zone right for the standing media kick always.
Yeah.
But I mean, you see now it's going off those flashsticks with those jumping fobbles.
Eee!
Oh, the overhead caught now, flinching.
Oh, he's talking to himself for the kill.
Whoa!
Getting fancy.
Why not?
That was a lot of extra pussies as well.
Okay!
Yo!
And we get the carry.
Okay, we got that death zone too.
Oh, but the way those two players-
They're flat!
And the watch is a man!
Mm-hmm.
A Gucci one on the risk it pays off, puts him on set point.
I was going to say don't call me though. I'm definitely not trying to call someone. Don't worry, I would have took down.
Terri's neutral jump punches way better. Is that neutral jump HP?
Nice. Your stuff. All for the spacing. All for the roundhouse. You okay?
A lot of Japan's shows of drive gauges now.
Yeah.
for the round, huh? Okay.
A lot of chip damage from the drive edge against now.
Yeah, Black Pocket don't not even hold the jump bit.
Oh, I didn't believe.
Yeah, it was a little awkward of a hit from Cher.
Oh, my goodness.
Damn, he challenged it.
Did you wake up with a cross beam to check the driver pressure?
Eeeh, stop jumping.
My goodness.
I think the chance of getting any kind of announcements for Street Fighter 6 is pretty low.
But all the leakers seem to think that we're going to get announcements for Vega and guest characters and all this shit, so...
The better happened.
The better happened. Everyone thinks it's happening.
We have to take the credibility of Rando's.
Wow. Closer and closer.
Wait a minute. Koguchi wasn't the top eight last year as well, right?
Honestly?
I could be wrong. Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
We'll double check here in an instant.
But yeah, Koguchi definitely has been an extremely strong player.
Obviously, he has been showing out how to great performance at Capcom Cup as well, right?
One of the farthest places.
So good to see him continue to carry that momentum.
I like seeing this type of era of Japanese player come for this winners finals, right?
Yamaguchi and Aguchi have been grinding the SFL all the time.
They're saying Taguchi and the hard work is paying off.
Looking at his previous results, just to kind of rehash on that, he was within the top
8.
He had a fallen short, tied 7th over in Iwo Japan last year, but still has made quite
substantial moves forward in every single event he's been up against.
Maxi like Terry and Street Fighter 6 and Ken and Fadal Fury shouldn't be the other way around. It really should but it's not.
It's weird right? It's fucking weird.
I don't know what to tell you.
I legit don't know. I just enjoy playing Ken a little bit more in Fadal Fury than I do Street Fighter 6.
And I actually like
Legit like Terry much more in Street Fighter 6 than Fatal Fury much more Terry's kind of a face roll bruiser character in
Fatal Fury
He's not very interesting. He just shits out damage
Fuck me. That is so hard to do
Holy shit. He's doing that chat. They're doing this on a on a cabinet with no macro
That is fucking super hard to do. Every single one of those dashes has to be frame-perfect.
You have no clue. This bitch is styling right now. Like, the only way you can do that is by
pressing all three attack buttons on the same fucking frame and getting the dashes?
So, bro, to dash the next one versus Street Fighter you have to press all three punch buttons,
okay? And you can't be loosey-goosey with it. They have to be on the same input, on the same frame.
So the majority of people that play these old games play on a macro, where they're able to macro
all three punch buttons or all three kicks to a specific button, you know? Makes it a lot easier
just to play the game. But these dudes are playing on an arcade machine, ain't no goddamn
macro. That's mad hard. It's so much easier for Magneto to do this shit in MBC2. They
made the character just is way more capable. You don't have to press dash with two buttons.
The buffer is generous, you know. Fuck. That instant air dash shit is really hard in this
game.
Anyway, I want to see him fight somebody.
That kind of movement breaks the rollback, it actually does, it's too fast.
It is legit too fast for a rollback netcode, don't shit.
Like the funny thing, chat, is that the majority of games that have rollback netcode are now
designed around it.
Like moves will have like a few frames of startup, right, where like it takes a couple
of frames to ease into an action that moves a character or comes out really fast.
And that literally means that Rollback Netcode can account for it.
But if moves come out like frame one or dashes come out like frame one and they move the
character a bunch, Rollback cannot keep up.
It's impossible.
It's legit impossible.
Some old games are just not good at keeping up with the speed that Rollback Netcode
requires.
Damn it!
Unstoppable.
Yeah, short, short, short, short, all the way.
Fuck me, dude!
These bitches are cracked, yeah.
That's what you say it is.
These bitches are cracked.
Yeah, I dropped it.
The Magneto's combos don't break rollback, his movement does.
He moves too fast.
In this game, and like Marvel 2, he moves too fast.
It's funny is because he's like got the execution to turn X-Men versus Street Fighter Magneto
into Marvel 2 Magneto, but it's ten times harder.
It's ten times harder to play Magnus in this game like this than it is in Marvel 2.
Fuck me, dude.
Fuck me.
Without a macro.
Holy shit.
You are just showing off you are just show oh shit
Just showing off
And knuckles are playing not guy off is wrong
something here dude how you feeling we're gonna get the answer back to sweet disrespectful
something you don't see every day in street fighter six man sweeps deals it's a big
punishment so that was definitely a note so on the side of nothing he's a my main
twice is better
I heard that um to balance my they're gonna make her have five fans total per round
So after you throw five fans, she just doesn't have access to projectiles anymore
Good change
Really, oh, yeah
On ironically a good change
Yeah, I'm playing season five of Street Fighter 6 right now and my only has access to five fans per round
Seem like a weird change
Just casually playing it
I wouldn't lie to you
Or be sarcastic about it
I think you know what kind of a stream this is I only I only spilled the beans on behind the scenes info
Only
Like that more my only gets two fans and she has to pick them back up if she throws them
So she's turned into well she's turned into Maya from killer instinct. I like it
I like it
I think I'll still win this round.
I'm so late.
Damn, the anti-air roundhouse going to dive kick.
How about that on a defensive dive kick?
Oh, made it out.
Oh, immediate damage up.
We want to hit that drive gauge now
before it recovers smart choice there for fucking go.
Ooh, the frame trapped up as well,
the back medium punch after the crouch fears.
It's a four frame frame trap.
The crosscut perfect.
The crosscut.
Oh, and then the DI up against the fan punk
Has definitely been looking at DI some of these falses.
I think it was a good look regardless, right?
There wasn't a lot of life left coming from Neville Do.
So no matter what had come out from my,
I don't think a counter DI would have been affecting.
Looking for that counter hit, okay?
I'm pretty sure that was a walk-up throw,
attempt from punk to God.
Oh, not even trying to challenge it.
Probably thinking it was gonna be a shadow dive kick.
Yeah, it was pretty far up as well.
Yeah, it definitely could have been a big danger.
Skipping to DP, but of course, those sweeps from punk.
Always saw a point.
You're starting to lay right there.
not sticking his hand in the bludder though that was practice like he's
guessing when it goes but at the same time I can't really tell that it's
punked ago oh and then the driver is low catching through trying to wake up with
stuff very very nice right there a punk you can tell immediately going for the
quick button right he didn't want to get through any gap he knows that if he
It gives him a little bit, the driver's pressure gets exposed by players at this high of a level.
So that's why it was a shallow driver with the crouch liking, making sure he didn't tip nothing to counter.
Hmm, especially lacking with the mind. That's it, no more character switches.
I would have loved to see the guy at one game, but, you know, stick with the mind.
Pretty much that's the same game play. We can just get our little ball on a little more.
Definitely what brought him to the dance.
Ooh, he's sticking with him up on the pro.
Another fierce move delayed at that, catching a counter hit against couple dude.
I
Fences sequences from punk as always a street fighter five
That's a throw in the hat represented now. Wow, okay anticipating the defensive dog cake
What a jump-time he finds them charging a band and now we're in the corner
It's like a real scary, but grab beer wakes up with the backdrop and the beer
reset he's going for it all
Oh, what a way to use your utility, my boy.
The reset on it naturally, everybody ducks, of course.
Oh yeah, the reset.
I know you was one of those guys,
that's what you do, the only place you fight.
Mmm.
Then catching Pong, trying to do like a reversal drive rush.
After blocking that, stay medium,
kick right, thinking that dude would just walk back.
Oh my, back to back.
This is respectful, nice.
He gonna wish right back at you with the sweep.
Oh man, Pong is turning up the heat, bro.
It's not getting represented yet here on the side of Nobludu.
He's doing the most he can to regain some of that drive gauge, right?
He's been swinging for defenses.
Nobludu's been taking a defensive stance thus far, but it leads him into this corner and close to burnout.
Oh, nice. On the counter hit, that was clean. Are we gonna do a level two?
No, no, we need that for the defense. I understand, dude.
Another defensive dive kick on the side of Pump the Guard.
Crouch pierced, exposed, and we won in the board.
Right.
But don't think!
Yeah, Punk has definitely been looking to establish that Crouch pierced a whole lot.
We've seen multiple different options afterwards as well the back medium punch for the legs the crotch medium punch
Oh gods
That poke good old Facebook standing strong the good old poke
We're gonna jump back. Oh wow. That was that active
We did a couple of jabs to get ourselves out of the corner
But it's not enough to push back to the screen just yet. He has to force himself out. Yeah, I like that
Wake up in the classroom. Oh nice
Yeah, the air here because he punks such quick recognition
knows immediately just resets the pressure against the media
and the conversion off the media.
Not even.
I thought it was going to be a snatch too.
I thought he was going to grab.
I mean, naturally, you know, you got to lead.
You want to just go for a throw sometimes.
You're going to have to condition the first.
That's the overhead?
No, not even.
Damn.
That's to wake up in the classroom.
Wake up.
Stand face.
Yup.
Not even going for the cross cut.
No risk on the side enough to do.
He knows he's low on the light side of things.
The conversion of the cross.
Everybody.
I swear everybody thinks they can walk away from these normals, man.
100% Like, you just are naturally inclined to try to walk away from the drive rushes,
but you got it down back more often than not.
What a will.
So that was a very happy normal for it to stick out like that.
Oh.
You immediately saw it.
Yeah.
It's a screen shake.
The fans, they're all watching.
I've legit never seen this screen shake off of the dive kick before.
Usually I see it from the boot again, for sure now.
I can wake up now.
Okay.
Looking for that counter hit again with that standing medium kick.
I don't I like how he whipped it he said to himself. I'm pretty sure don't do that ever again
Deep dive kick actually getting blown up with the uppercut from knuckle do
Little bit more in the private edge hence why don't the dude's going all out on the offensive thus far
Nice, I like they need to take the risk. I feel like you should have just read on that
Nice, but he still finished the job nonetheless. I'm still at set point two. I want to see more games. We all do
No pun intended.
Yeah, Dewey has definitely been able to slow Pung down a little bit in this past game, right?
It looked like Pung was doing whatever he wanted in the first two.
Oh, even willing to sneak in a charge fan here.
Double-hooo!
Medium punches.
Looking for that counterhand on a counter-pull, Pung.
I like that take throw and the jump in clean.
He's looking for that counterhand, of course.
Nobody want to get hit with a back throw in this position.
That crouching Pung is minus three.
That's why Pung did reversal crunch.
Heavy push that time.
Oh, but gets caught.
Chase down
Boy
Level three on wake up in reaction
Damn, bro
He just put himself in burnout, but he does have one meter to play with it's okay
not allow him to get whoa big input error but no punish delay though that's what
a chip out you gotta watch out but it's a level one level oh no even if you got
to be there I'm sorry he's got level two now as well but you know he walked forward
all the chip is there the spiral arrow punk will be moving on and losers bracket
yo he was a super away for touching the grass again on the drive gates that
was unfortunate yeah man good match that's how usually goes Tim for tight
where we get the momentum first is pretty much who's in the driver's seat the thing about punk man
I love how he walks in and just invites those normals every time that way
He could take his turns on the crouching strong right with a crotch face or a low forward
Just to feel that pressure that you're just trying to stay away from them the whole time man
Puck the God the conditioner
On top of that too like just a clutch factor alone towards the very end although there was like a moment where he put
himself into the corner. He immediately went to a dive kick just to see if
Nuckledoo would try to react to that positioning and that also with and still
he managed to kind of keep himself composed whatever it is that Nuckledoo
tried to do and secure the win with that chip damage. That was actually very
well composed for punk. I was actually nervous. I thought it was gonna be a
chip scenario where Nuckledoo would be able to snipe out and get his turn
back and go into like chip super because he had level 2 on deck right. He
could have been fierce in the level 2 etc. But no there was no action
taken from the side switch as well as the with dive kick. I do want to talk
Let's get the bracket up as well so the folks at home can follow along with us, but before we move on from that match
Yeah, I honestly was expecting due to clutch it out in the end when he actually snuck that a walk forward under the
Looking
The audio for this is in my ear
of
Oh, no. That's right. That's side. You bounce off the fucking police car and it causes the
wrong hits done. Now you can get it.
Yeah, I wonder what's going to happen next.
keep the rhythm up
nice
didn't drop it
I mean pulling up his results over in 2025 he's been as active as possible in the
comes to the world Colossus with Juggernaut's powers a sick design he'll take it for Tocan
I mean they're kind of doing it to Hulk right now to be real
A huge jump up in comparison to last year evil Japan where he was within the top one twenty eight
As it stands right now going into the top 26 right?
He's been over to a couple of events thus far and even trying to end out the world warrior
He actually had for 2025. I should say getting second place and third place respect
Yeah, I was gonna say talking talking piano was just one of those Japanese players that is not the privilege to travel to a lot of the
International events, but for the players everybody in that game have an infinite on
maybe some are definitely easier than others like psych has cyclops as the
easiest infinite I don't know if rogue does if she does it's hard the show
does have Ken has a really easy infinite most characters of corner
Yeah, most
Super Tuesdays dummy easy
Reuses different
Gambit maybe has one, but it's hard
Is that game a three different versions? Yes, the later versions don't even have them
the primary character that has shot him up into this top eight.
Absolutely.
All right.
Damn.
Yo, Huma, Ryu, Akuma, and Bison?
Man.
That's nasty.
That is.
This man knows how to pick some characters.
Let me tell you what.
The Bison would have been a great pick for Shou and JP.
Well, we're going to go for the Akuma, the Dark Hado for real.
He incarnates.
You know, I definitely have long talks with Boss about some of the match-ups that
JP does have problems.
Bro.
Japan seems to agree.
Akuma seems to be a little bit of a problem because of that trajectory that he gets
control coming in and avoiding all of the projectiles that JP can't present. And also,
if you wanted to play the Fireball War, he definitely can. One of the drawbacks though,
that 9K health as he's getting depleted by Togget Togget Piano. That's evil styrofoam,
right there, yeah. Oh man, that Togget's been so on point. As soon as he got one offensive chance,
oh that was gonna say he was so right in a row, overhead at the end with the gators on.
That was a bit of an aggressive scramble, if you will. What a way to fill each other up.
You thought it was going to be clean game play off of the RIP, which it has been, but I like that in terms of being aggressive early on.
Cool conversion.
I'm not afraid to commit in my last round, right?
KYH, thanks for the 10, dude.
Offbeat Ninja, thanks for the 85 months.
Senzu, thanks for the give-sup.
TP for Sakuma, it's been one of my favorite 3-5-6 matchups because it's also 0-10 or 10-0 with nothing in between.
Move the goalposts. How are you going to do it is the question.
So it's departure, right? You get to create that space, having that threat.
Oh, new departure as well. You see Shuto trying to play the game.
He's trying to walk forward to use that walk speed, but primarily the drive gauge taking a lot of damage
He was waiting for the driver's so he could get that teleport for the readjustment excellent call from talking. Oh wait a minute
Yes indeed shoot on I'm missing too much right use in the yellow
Amber didn't want to burn out
That was ridiculous. Yeah, you try to teleport it for me
Look like a talking was trying to use that as some type of bait out right? Yeah, instead. She was like
I'm not falling for that
message sense you're not gonna hit me with the gimmicks early on the fact that
he was ready for it on the first go and press the stuff that you so immediately
the la voos go friend oh what the hell landed that was crazy yeah for real
anti-air cross of a heel kick let's go push them out this foot JP excel that
keeping you away drawing that line on the sand it's gonna be pretty hard across
of course I assume there will be a demon flip at this point unless of
Oh
My god
Giving a kuma that lunging forward HP was something
represented on the knockdowns against Takedi.
Yeah, he actually went for them throw the very first time
I got out of Egypt, right?
So now he's just been doing jazz.
It's so smart.
What an adjustment.
Do you see the ODDP just to bypass both bombs?
Oh, for the move forward just to get that proper timing.
Excellent.
Still staying face to DP.
No matter.
There is no perfect parry in all the heads.
He is so ready for this matchup.
He is dissecting everything that Takedi has shown him.
Thus far from the previous rounds up until this point,
little bit of a lifeline.
Still trying to drop blood by going forward with the drive rush shoot. Oh try to navigate around the ghosts
Yeah, talking looks a little bit hesitant now shoot those me with a threat to kneel so many times
Oh, the departure does give them some space all but not for long
Take it up with that dry rush and another Jesus a shootoff. I love button to cover some space. Huh drive rush stand fit. Yeah
okay
Right on the bite literally we buffering bro
man. The mid-screen text, listen. I score him every time I see it. Oh,
whoa. Almost got him juggled. The right idea though. A little too late.
Me, I'm covering the way for the DPS. Whoa. The late back dash might have
danced it on him for the level two up. What's the option here? Wow.
Yo, you just one step ahead every single time, shoot-off. Oh, that was nice though.
He actually like did not go for the throw, just wait to recover and let him hit low.
Oh. Don't touch me. This is the good suit. This is my Sunday final suit.
There it is. Now we're getting that lead. We're almost.
Oh my god
Yeah, you gain drive bar if you do a successful Perry and you gain even more if you do a perfect Perry
But if you whiff a parry you lose a big chunk
If you don't successfully collide with anything on a parry you lose a big chunk
Well, yes, I'm straight starts to this round, but it starts stabilizing a little bit more here
A little bit of part you're all we got respected of course
We could ever see
You go get in there.
Oh, are you going?
Whoa, that was cool.
It looked like you're trying to teleport through there.
I thought so, too.
I didn't think it would catch the jump at that angle,
but seriously.
Surprise.
Man, cool.
I got purple energy.
I could use this, right?
Mm.
So what's behind?
What's behind the guys?
Oh, my God.
Mind you, he did that previously,
but he successfully landed it this time.
Oh, wow.
So smart.
Jump back with the roundhouse.
Buddy missed it, though.
Of course.
Definitely going to wake up after that one.
Uh, besides where the parter is up there as well,
you cannot walk away from free with that crouch
medium kick there.
No back throw, huh?
We not missed.
We not falling for that one.
Good defense here for Takepi.
Oh, immediately, yes.
Add one to the board.
There it is indeed.
Takei, Takei, Piano.
Put one on the board.
And I didn't think he actually
canceled that crouch medium kick
into the parter's spike right,
which is the manual automatic timing like it used to be.
But he does have that ability now to cancel.
Yeah, that is why.
That's crazy.
They're at normal where you can cancel into departure
a lot sooner.
It just cancels at the normal animation.
He's able to snap and get that potential out sooner.
So it makes it much more consistent on a lot of juggles,
but also just even that much more of a threat when
it comes to like blocks normal into a frame trap, right?
Being able to cancel off a low-medium kick, which
wasn't cancelable to anything before,
that is a major problem.
100%, right?
Because at the opponent, you can usually
play a little bit of mind games around the timing of that.
because you know he wants to do the crotch beam kick when it pops.
Now he can just do it whatever and cancel and still get the combo.
I'm talking about Winsch.
Die kick, no.
I actually thought he was going to reach.
Oh, another one speaking away.
Oh, oh, oh.
If you catch this time, let me get the meniscus.
Meniscus?
Oh, no.
That's a throw and a half, no.
Looking for the wake up amnesia.
I like you switching his options from the staggered jabs
to a delayed fist or just a new jump in this case.
I love that interaction, by the way.
Good anticipation for the teleport.
I mean a lot of the JP players are gonna prioritize getting out of that corner when the departure set up like that
We are in the back dash okay put that in my back pocket what a way to avoid the explosion
They jump back button in this case medium kick all right
Me that perfect parry hell the Perry as well to get some big drive gauge back since that departure was gonna pop as well
Oh, that jazz timing perfectly send the old who put himself on set point
Whatever that is, it must have been tasty because there's nothing left.
Everything was gone!
Oh, nice. Oh, he almost cut through.
Almost cut through.
Wow, these are some unconventional anti-air methods that are kind of cool.
So, shout out to the cameraman for being absolutely ready for that, by the way.
No gaps.
Don't go around here.
Okay, look like he tried to challenge with another stand fist.
Oh, open up, please.
Yes, on the recovery.
I don't know if he was like trying to do that maybe thinking a parry was come and I was going to get command grab.
I don't know if this is a button. I'm pretty sure this might be a light kick into the adamant flame maybe into the level three.
Oh, trade almost. I'm telling you that standing like that's what you don't know for it.
I don't know if he was like trying to do that. Maybe thinking a parry was coming.
I'm telling you that standing like that's what you don't feel for it.
That was really smart not to press a button in the air there.
Very smart.
Okay.
Remember we saw earlier where Judo used the roundhouse right because he knows it's a little
sketchy trying to be in the corner on the jump back from that space.
I wonder if the roundhouse would have clipped.
Either way we'll save that for a different time.
Resetting okay I like that.
Get in the throw.
After enemy flank hits.
And that's why I remember Shooto for those dying and like a confirmed
true
Three bunch at S in the way that he's been playing this far, too. They spent a lot of time together after all
Here he wants that yes indeed
Like it. What an awful guy. Oh
Walk it in actually still the fact that he blocked was crazy
Actually text him on the job back. He got so much meter off of that. Just walking towards by the way
Good defense. You don't fall for the level to hit the lab
Oh
Just burned him out
Okay, smart choice to cover all options on the demon flip at bed at 9, and we are 2-2.
Yeah, I think he went for the down medium kick at the very last second. The activation kind of shifted over.
Oh man, that was so smart from Tankei to not do cross fears.
That was so sick.
That's why I like that he ain't popped though. Did not go for the tech. He was willing to take the throw.
Wise choice to A to A.
Okay, the staggered stuff. Looking for the counter hit it.
Okay, respect the tracks. Yeah, he has to push him back, right?
Shoot, they're not going to be involved with any of the departure set-ups.
Air fireball, the pushback can be bad, the contract heavy punch.
We're going against them, dude.
What the?
The OD did blow up the amnesia you saw at startup.
Punish!
He committed to the target combo.
Overcommitted.
Quite surprising.
There it is.
Five, okay.
Next secret's here.
Respecting the low forward.
Cool.
Demon flip, dive kick.
Wow, what a call-off.
Nasty. Wash your hands.
Shado, Shuto back on set point after that.
No table manners.
Oh, yeah, that's one of the strongest buttons in the game,
but couldn't fully convert it.
Now, Shuto, past the corner.
Yeah, I'm being able to punish that crouching medium punch.
It lingers a little bit longer now, this time around.
Oh, he's squirming in his corner.
He don't want to take anything.
Yes, get that in spots.
You'll find some footing here.
There's the crouching.
They're really late as well.
You have to privilege and do so.
Ooh.
All out
She took over the ODDP so awesome maintain that momentum specifically in the corner level to what's the deep inside from the chute oh
Coming in for Perry's he's holding it all the way. He finds a way to get the couch a jab
He's chicken enough of the tang oldie fireball TP super you already know wait a minute though. Oh, this is close
dude
Maybe
The classic the knuckle sandwich
Straight from the competing to the top eight
Let's stuff this shoot okay one of the crowd favorites moving on here. Well, that's dangerous. Oh, so we're gonna get pumpkin
That's exactly what it looks like.
And you know, Punk has definitely had a long route
full of showdowns to get here in Top 8.
I actually think Punk has to face Nalun first, right?
Or one of our players that dropped down
from the winners bracket, right?
So yeah.
Oh, it's true, true, true.
So they have to get through each other, but I understand.
I want to see that match.
Hopefully, we do get to see the shoot-through Punk
or whoever is just playing on their A-game.
Punk looks like a monster in the losers bracket.
I'll tell you what, it definitely
looked like he had gotten the proposal power up.
No joke.
I'm going to be honest with you, man.
I believe that Shuto was exposing any amnesia attempt
pretty much through all of Taki's piece.
And any defensive option that he really wanted to go to
in terms of the amnesia.
That's why you've seen him squirm a little bit,
trying to jump out the corner every single time.
Just because Shuto was in his head
that you are not using this amnesia.
And plus the defense on the level two
was just fantastic on the side of Shuto.
So the survivability rate on Shuto
is what led him here to this position.
Knew that match of legitimately like back of his hand.
Every single thing, like he was ready for it.
Yeah, very impressed.
One of the times where he's only taking damage to himself or off of the big risk season
Decided to pull off off of the defense on wake up maneuvers, right?
So we'll see if that's the kind of attitude he's gonna bring to the table going up against hope in the loser side
But before we get into that we're gonna take a little bit more of a break
So when we come back, we get the continuation for the rest of our competitors here at evil for she fighters 6 topic
Go back to the good shit
in my ear in my ear
good shit in my ear
and
this looks like just in playing
I think it's Justin.
More screen shake.
More.
We need more screen shake.
Uh-oh.
I think he's chipping the dev, yeah.
More.
So everyone complains that they get 50-50 to death in modern fighting games?
Bro, could you even imagine if you lost the game on one interaction and you lost two characters?
Can you even imagine?
You just don't know.
That's a setup.
Now I do it to you.
So this game is like H&K then.
This game is actually much less degenerate, I guess overall than H&K.
H&K is pretty insane.
Like a good or no can is pretty insane.
Like, if you think this is peak degeneracy, nah, brother, I don't know about that.
HNG was at EVA this year, yeah, had like nearly 200 entrants.
Where's 356?
Shut the fuck up!
It's not happening, we're watching the good shit.
Yeah, I missed the Hukudo no Ken top 8, it was probably pretty good.
Yeah, Vsap was honestly my favorite tournament we've seen so far.
was legit incredible. Some of the best Dark Sockers I think I've ever seen.
Dude, the greatest part about this game is that you completely TOD someone's
two characters with one touch and then you super them at the end for epilepsy.
Legit debilitating combo. It's crazy.
Oh, is the Magneto back?
That was not a wall!
Combo's that'll make you blow chugs!
And these storms infinite kills you fast right there's a lot of infinites in these games but
do not kill you fast man you shouldn't have what what's the answer chat what was the answer
Shouldn't have sat down.
What could he have done there in that situation?
If he didn't sit down, he could have walked away a winner.
No, it's not not get ahead.
Don't sit down.
Perfect.
The corner infidels were so bad in this game shot
that they released two different versions
after this in arcades that severely toned down all the infinites.
Two. Yeah. Multiple different versions. And here's what's, here's the next craziest part.
They fixed this game in arcades, right? Nobody likes those versions. Nobody plays them.
All the people that love X-Men vs Street Fighter hate those updated versions. The fixed ones, they hate
them. Eventually the collection got all versions, which is awesome. When it came out, it only had
had the most fixed version off of a throw. Oh no. Yeah. You get, you get full corner death
combos off throws in this game. Everything and throws, throw, teching is not consistent.
So if you wanted to tech a throw, it would sometimes work and sometimes not even if you
know the throws coming. Old games are crazy.
Damn. Juggernaut's turn. Damn. Here we go. I was gonna get
chipped out. Damn.
They're getting ready. I'm watching the good shit. We'll definitely get another game
and finish before they start their one game.
Damn, bro, that's crazy.
You died.
That's crazy.
You died.
They just have to fuck up, right?
They just have to fuck up.
That's the point.
I think this game is hilarious, dude.
This is arguably one of the more fucked up Capcom fighting games, period.
Like, if you don't talk about like the guest or the secret characters in Marvel 1 and shit,
dude, X-Men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes and X-Men Kota, fucked up games,
They're big fucked up
They're crazy
That's all actually this game she's not in it
Marvel Super Heroes is your favorite. Marvel Super Heroes is an amazing game. That game feels so good to play because the input buffer is mad generous. Dude, it's cool.
Funny enough, the one that's the most unwell received of the old versus games is Marvel Super Heroes versus Street Fighter.
And that's because they severely toned things down from X-Men vs Street Fighter.
It was like a super neutered version of X-Men VS F with much less effective assists because they added assists for the first time.
But they weren't very good.
Um, so not many people like Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter because it's just like a less fun version of X-Men vs Street Fighter.
It's got cool aspects to it. Don't get me wrong.
I like several parts of MSH VS F a lot.
But gameplay wise it's like yeah, it's broken but not as fun, you know
It also has a pretty shitty roster
Like the Capcom side of that game is Ryu Ken Akuma Dan
Sakura like it's crazy. They put they just crammed Shodos all over that game, dude
the dogs I'm gonna chun's in it too bison simgief yeah bison simgief chun dan akuma ken
Sakura
Yeah, Charlie's technically in that game
or the alpha game is kind of fucked up too yeah alpha one is definitely pretty
unique depending on which version you play about the two but most people play
like version a or the first one alpha three is notably messed up because of
the ism combos right or was it vism corner impenance yeah they're all fucked up
well it's cool
but they're all very fun they're all very fun
What about the EX games? The only EX game that is kind of like played
consistently and you'll find people that have like a community for it is uh
Street Fighter EX 2 plus on PlayStation or our kid
Oh, wow what a setup
the back house yes I've walked up casual no not even for the adamant flame
oh that was a full-on dash for the beaty
nice damn the last head last hit I appreciate the clarification on that
wrench that's definitely where I was going with that yeah I got you know that's all figured
oh man uh put him back yeah we get that side swap
Ooh, what a parry to save the DR right there.
Pong obviously, that's where his head was already at, right?
That's why there's no reverse.
Yo, Momoda, thanks for the 34 months.
Looking to parry things in general.
Oh, chuck that blast.
Play that range, OK?
Like I was not giving up that ground with the demon
flips anymore, nice parry day on the jumping.
Mm, right back at the OS on deck.
Indeed, Pong.
Immediately.
The Street Fighter II, the final challenger,
is going to competitive scene.
Super Street Fighter II?
Oh, went for overhead from that far away, huh?
It wasn't around for very long I mean people played it but it wasn't it didn't exist for
long enough for it to really have people that were like into there's no one's in a place
super three-fighter two over super turbo almost nobody oh you mean the ultra game on switch
not does a fuck around game yeah ultra street fighter 2 on switch a cool thing
but it's a fuck around game there's a lot of fun shit in that game you know which
Which is why I like it, because it's just fun.
Oh shit.
Getting an announcement? Yeah, all the leakers are saying that we're gonna get the announcement for Vega and all the other leaked characters here.
That's what they're saying, that's what everyone was asking for earlier. They're like, man, we're gonna get that character, we're gonna get Vega, we're gonna get all the characters we want.
We'll see.
We're going to hold him accountable.
Speed of pump.
Mm, we'll wake him up going forward right back at you.
Damn, ready every time?
Capital OS.
School.
Can we get another one?
No, not even.
Wait for that look forward.
Oh, standing in the middle.
Oh!
That guy just in case, but go on.
It's going to be a little bit scary now, right?
Now, it also has access to a demon.
Be very careful if he's got something in the pod.
Oh, no cancel to level three.
Is he going to demon him just for the show?
Imagine?
He could have just level three it over the DP, for sure.
I would have been a kill honestly would have been of damage
Oh staggered lows of course now showing oh my goodness
The back dash to avoid the throw. This is a low four confirmed. I just confirm it to something. I promise you don't win
They really show off season three roster season four roster before ingrids even out. I don't think they would
I don't think they would at all. I mean, I wouldn't
into the DI to be the response that he chucked down the DP.
That's what we like to call a good old fashioned mind jam.
I would love to say the real world.
Oh my god.
That's another throw in the making.
No, he's looking for the defensive dive kick.
That's why he hit the brakes.
Wow, spacing up the jab.
He was almost home with the stand fit.
He's playing the lifelike game quite well.
He's got the standing light kick punish counter.
That has been the biggest deterrent
of moving forward and even trying
to flash some of these normals against now.
Look at that match point.
Come on, Vic!
Man, that was a crazy one.
Now, in the last round, oh, but too close on the fireball.
It's Punk.
Now, an opportunity now.
Yes!
Oh, yeah.
That's right, getting nasty.
He is taking risks.
I know in the back of Punk's mind,
I know he's saying that to himself.
Like, wow, this guy's playing a little nutty
against me, man.
But at the end of the day, it's just
good reason to side of now for me.
Yeah, 100%.
Oh, ODDP is another one.
Wow, Punk's actually going to be willing to burn himself
there with the ODDP keeping out in this corner. Wait a minute though. I'll take the back though.
Wow.
Sorry. I'm sorry. I gotta be biased for a second. That's my boy.
I'm scared the hell out of me, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm sorry.
Oh, the DP.
Doing it, it's fine.
Oh, phone told me my headphone usage is exceeding the recommended volume.
I'm so sorry, guys.
I'm so sorry.
Okay.
Oh, stand in the middle.
There has been a problem for sure.
Oh, this one.
Found a button.
Throw?
Absolutely.
And he wisely takes that, because that's big damage off of a counter-hate crowd's
fears.
Oh, my God.
Punk is not getting these jump-ins.
They don't want to spend it just yet here, but now in he hid to an old try to come to the check, but he actually punished
Very smart from punk knowing he was close enough to get that
Directly into the C8 to burn now now now of course there is no free DI here
He's got plenty of meter. It is a scary spot for both players because that's up through something imagine
Oh, he didn't wake up at dash, but right into a nice kiss!
Oh!
That's the thing, dude.
Jumping in Street Fighter 6 is so good.
It's arguably better than any Street Fighter game, you know?
It's way better to jump in.
Like, the same thing was in Street Fighter 5.
Like, jump ins were so fucking good.
Because the only time you're going to get a massive trade difference is if you
Oh wow on the counter, I don't even know what's going on, okay.
A Tatsu for the full carry, alright now we in that danger zone, how are we gonna get
off the cage?
3S jumping is better, well you can jump in 3S, but you don't get a ton of combos
and 3rd strike from jumpers, just in general.
Like maybe from some cross ups, dive kicks, yeah, but there's the way pushback works
in that game you don't really get a ton of like jump in HP big button into super not all the time
Yeah, even if you want to do the Ken combo at the end of moment 37 that shit is fucking hard
Level one is all that necessary against the low health akuma one round to go
Oh, big switch up from what we saw in the previous game,
Plunk now taking command over now in space.
We haven't seen that forward medium kick as much
after it got pulled up initially
from the start of this previous round.
What do you do now as now to stop Plunk
from moving forward, standing like it was a choice?
No, third strike is not a combo heavy game.
Just some characters, you know, like Yurian and...
Just outside the space.
Yurian, Yun, Makoto.
They have big combo opportunities
with this on their supers.
It's not a huge combo game.
for sure. I had to be. Nice. What a way to find an answer to get out the corner.
D cross up punk will take that throat. Gladly. It is there protecting his drive
gears in the process. Punks built himself back into the green. That was supposed to be a
DB. And that is going to make sure the driver's canceled does not burn her mouth. This is huge.
Oh! Straight into the level three. We have no lesson to get shout on. That is a
That Akuma, Punk, moves on and loses bracket!
The ace in the hole, we didn't see it in the hole set and saved it for the last possible moment.
Punk moves on to the loser semi-final.
Oh my goodness, baby!
S. Yes!
We are here. I thought you were about to give me a rrrrrrr.
I'm Ski for a second, man, brother.
I thought we were going full can opener for a second.
Nah, you haven't.
I thought I was Lee Chung wherever you at, brother.
I know he's watching at home right now with the kids.
Oh, man.
Yo, excellent stuff from Pubman.
That was a bit of, the word is not exciting.
I would say nerve-wracking, a little overzealous
from both guys, especially on the side of now.
While the wake up, I hope we get that as a highlight, maybe.
Just a wake up.
That reminds me of, it is a fair read.
He likes those, right?
Shit throws again.
He'll go for the big read, like he
knows when the player's going to be off the bill.
He's going to try to hard counter that.
The audio is still working for you guys, right?
Very excited to play your watch.
I hope we get to see
Clutching it out here and keeping the other dreams alive should froze again
Weird wait for his turn. It's funny that that's happening on that capture card. I wonder why that's freezing air once in a while
Absolutely, we're gonna get into that just a little bit
But again, you guys have been tuning into one of the biggest brackets in the world for she fighters six
Guess what you actually have your opportunity to do so you see a USB USB C on the road to evo as we get started back on
May 3rd competing your favorite USB C can be like
Comparably fast we have a PCIE back. I actually don't know what the speeds are the USB C is very fucking fast
I think USB C is technically faster than PCIe right and gen gen 2 gen 3
Game console on the PlayStation 5 so please yeah thunderbolt is the fastest yeah, but I don't think there's any thunderbolt capture cards
The problem is is that most capture cards don't use later generations of PCIe lanes, right? I don't think they do
They generally kind of work in the older space, so they're they're naturally not that fast.
In fact, let me look. Let me see which lanes it's using.
It's been a slobber knocker from start and it will be to finish and we are going through these brackets so quick
I can't tell with it being on into it. Oh, it's been so
So really I was gonna say difficult and also crazy to watch at the same time
I can't tell with it. You know currently active shoot. Oh versus coffee. I had coffee earlier. Shut up gang
This modern
Is the labor media live gamer ultra 2.1
Going into it again with his baby you technically going into the big stage of ego Japan
I am really quite curious to see how he's gonna perform against one of the top dogs
I will say this I'm sure so I'm very impressed with his matchup knowledge
I mean, we've seen it all across the board against Ta'kebi.
So I want to see, hopefully, I'll say his name right again.
But hopefully, we see that same representation
in terms of matchup knowledge against the Aki.
That's the little things, man.
Avermedia 2.1.
Here we go.
There, the GC53 G2.
We're half losers quarterfinals, whatever.
This is going to be moving on to face Punk, the god.
Shoot that.
Avermedia 4K 60.
4k 144 4k 120 pass through yeah, it's good. It's a good card
Kenny it must not be a mod cuz I banned you at some point or some shit, right? You said it was to set something dumb
If you ever get timed out or banned you like lose your mods status, I think that happened
I think that happened
Yeah, if I time I think I timed Kenny out and he lost his mod status, I can't remember what he said
Something stupid
Kenny has to create a campaign to get remodded again, okay, so we have to do that's what he has to do
What the fuck?
That was why he did the area and then he actually ODD me through the second hit of it.
That was crazy. Oh, okay. Let's go. We go for the drive.
Don't get thirsty with a drive in. Becky got cash, man.
Why was he so ready for that? Why was he
absolutely so ready for that? That's what I'm saying. How did you
jump in that scrambling situation?
off of that. Yeah. Okay. Oh, so that's how you get the prime damage of just big big whiff
punishes. Okay.
I was about to say like it just went out of poison for like the tackle to actually get
even more of a triple, but it's totally fine. Him being able to reapply and force you
to enter this corner already.
Damn! I thought the top two was going to break it.
There's nothing to keep another hit. In time. Oh, man. I honestly was like
how is this going to play out, man?
He actually gonna get shut the other screen, but no hope give it a close this one both players fully loaded on meter
What a cool face shot down?
He got some frame advantage there pretty sure it's not doing a stagger a delay there mostly a delay
Okay, the poisonous stuff the throw wow catch jab definitely bust on the drive rush
Yeah, that's plus spots the property is normally plus one so big frame advantage
Stuff are we gonna spend it early? No, no, we're gonna go for one more sequence in
I didn't think I could do it at this point.
Level one.
Wow.
Dan is dead.
It's both on defense right there.
I see your hope.
Perfectly made at the decision on that one.
Hey, have that poison just thickened up a little bit.
I wonder if that may shoot through a little bit more antsy.
Not sure if you can eat another throw
with the additional poison damage taking down.
Probably felt the pressure and felt
like he had to make the decision then.
What a call out, though.
Hope already up a game.
The number one thing you want to keep in life is hope.
Yes.
That's right, so true parts.
even when it's your down 100%
me looking I'm sure hope is looking across that monitor and
say man that is shootout.
But listen, I'm the embodiment of love of hope.
I should say, damn, I don't want to kill that.
Fine, I thought it was fine.
I knew we were getting that new year.
But this is the case here and shoot though,
we've seen a couple of characters, right?
He's back at the characters select screen right now.
I wonder if he's trying to decide if we're
going to see the bison and their character that he's
been kind of experimenting with.
Then we're going to see the Akuma again trying to get
as many hits as possible.
I'm looking at the multi monitor, I'm just like,
we might go to the Akuma, or we stick to the Bison.
Modern Bison, damn.
Modern, interesting.
Modern Bison.
Modern player at the beginning of this game,
right, looking at Marisa.
Damn.
He invented modern Marisa.
That's right.
Look at the scissors, yeah.
Is that what pretty much what he had?
I don't even know what the opposite got for real.
This is new to me.
You know, shout out to Fubar,
that didn't say that a lot of people in Japan
was actually rocking.
Maybe the bison was actually uh invested in a lot of mod bison so really yeah this is a treat for me
Yep interesting okay
Okay, so Ryan I'm very excited to see this especially because bison has like on paper some anti-projectile tools
Chad I don't mean vegas should be in straight better six. I'm talking about balrog
Use stupid bastards balrog with the with the mask in the claw
He's in the leak lists. He better be in it
game by song this is Vega this is the wrong they got put your access to level
two to try to beat some of these projectiles that I'm just gonna show
thank you by the way you're oh damn man
but you know that was spacing on oh my goodness the drive that's like they
Oh
You literally can't drive rush them in the corner literally can't because of modern
I don't even know what he said for real.
Overhead?
No, not even.
Oh, even better.
Oh, shit.
He's coming to us.
Just do it.
Psycho pressure level three.
Just do it.
Even better.
Oh, yeah.
He's here.
He's heard himself out.
Oh, he wants to keep the meter, actually.
Just in case.
Oh, he can't react though.
He got the modern stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Because he got modern level three.
He's hoping well.
It's still maintaining the quarter pressure.
Hit confirm!
Bro!
Right into the level three.
Two or not encroaching through a space.
Now it could have been a buffer.
It could have been a confirm.
But either way, that is a dead character.
Bro.
right there one third into the super would have message sent back it was looking
a little shaky at round one right Aki and hope was able to take it but man what
a bounce back in okay yeah I'm so glad that he actually went modern so we can
highlight the fact that yeah he was one of the first people that really pioneered
modern at a high level super super sick to see of course yeah man didn't even lose
that much either yeah we are staying like it's then heavy kick yeah I mean the
same heavy kicks pretty good right except that the plus frames and what
But nah, the light kick decent.
Got the hover kick as well.
But honestly, most of bison is here.
It's going to have quicker access to the specials
and the things you really want to abuse.
I think the way to encode space and also get plus frames,
standing heavy bunch is a great tool.
Back roundhouse, he still maintains for pressure.
Yeah, it's back roundhouse with the plus frames anyway.
It's not even a stand roundhouse.
So yeah, this is really good.
Stand roundhouse for me is more so you lost access
to like a shimmy, a big shimmy pad.
Yeah.
OK.
Actually, one of your better ender for combos
on the driver, too.
Definitely lost a little bit of damage but his core game plan is still there
What the hell
He's styling now, he's clowning dude.
That was nice and delayed
Just in case that was double layered you gotta love those eyes from bison Wow
What a snipe out on the neutral jump. He was looking for a right. You were talking about cycle country
I heard the ice. No, we keep that in modern
at the bomb
Let's go. Oh, it's about a detonate playing a good old game. I so calm here
Shouts for sick
About ski thank you
and applying that to throw a stab is no treat what a challenge on the delay with
it with a delay crowd that's wrong oh that was nasty
hockey classic right there they're always looking for the cross route house
big super confirm and you know is pulling in the modern
right watch that part of oh try to hit him with the empty possibly looking for
the for the parry of course oh that's a good point
okay i like that whole talking to himself yes talking to his imaginary
Oh
Establish your technology
All right
I'm not sure, wow, okay, well, hope takes the lead with that one.
Yeah, and speedy passitude is actually overwhelming.
Shuto at the corner right there, and Shuto's gonna lock in this Bison for the rest of the set.
Modern Bison, this is the, this gotta be the debut on a big stage.
Oh, and again, the anti-air stopped there.
Looked like it was Croft Spears, but just too late.
Going that last from that angle, I love it.
Just a snipe out the Devil's Reverse.
MASHING THE PROPS LIKE YUP THAT'S A BISON CLASSIC
PRESS THAT BUTTON PLEASE
especially up close
LULA SHOES GO PRESS THIS NEXT BUTTON A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY
SO ALGUM'S JUST STANDING THERE, GOT CLIPS
nice, the HEAD I KICKS
wow, it's the anti-air, okay
we'll take that option
a little bit of results with it though
continuing to be poking and getting punnish counter for it
the bomb
go ahead
even better
even better on the punnish counter, what a win
counter hit
Cizer kicks
Shit
I'm sure though and being snakes that they get away
That's a sneaky and Jason her ass down
Watch the shankless oh my god, it's going to catch that jump back next time
It does look like the marrow super from Marvel to
Well, save my name.
You need it at this point, shoot-o.
Yeah, I'm your boy, it's here.
Stuffing up the overhead, excuse me.
You don't plan to bomb, drive, rush forward.
Oh, defensively getting blown up right now.
Watch your power for attack, dude.
Oh, to the wrist gauge, uh.
Oh, the bottle, we just walked right through, huh-huh.
Okay, I'm hydrated.
Another throw.
I'm gonna be looking for space and now
trying to catch you, go present.
And he does there!
Nice shape, Pulse.
Bro, modern hockey is 50% away.
Horses himself out of the corner with the burnout.
Goddamn, can't do that!
It's a modern player, not going to be easy.
Oh, this is looking good for Shuto.
He's in the exit at first.
And he has scissor kicks, which are going to be pretty unreactable.
could protect
the whole guy is all driving about now as well
well
the captain I say pulse
my name and got about the corner to hold this post a little reason all five
five
he's going all the way through with it
juggle this match straight out of the tournament
and
the one that they
that was crazy dude
I
That was crazy
My Magnum Opus
We never know what kind of damage it would get towards the end, but best believe that
was the proper call.
Yeah, that was beautiful stuff from home right there, able to clutch it out again.
Shuto locking in that modern bison.
It looks good for the first game.
It honestly looked good in general, but I think it goes back to that comfortability
factor.
This is what he plays the most, is what we know him for.
It's what he's going to terrorize the region of Taiwan with.
And while Shuto obviously modern Marisa back in the day and whatnot, but it just looks
He's very twickey. Japanese jipper to six swapped all three names to avoid legal issues in the last no just
bison or boxer
Because
Boxer in Japan Mike Bison was obviously Mike Tyson
So because of that they switched the other characters around
They had to flip one and they're like, oh
Mike Bison could be Balrog
Yeah, and so they flip the other two
I've talked to fucking dudes that work that capcom at the time, you know
I've literally talked to him so
That's that happened that was like this old this fucking old shit super old shit
Which is why for those of you that don't know about this
They call him Boxer, Claw, and Dictator, so that you don't get confused because the two
different regions have different names for every character.
Wasn't Tyson not of 70 found out later?
It wouldn't have been Tyson's, that would not have been Mike Tyson's choice.
Like all of his agencies and shit controlled that, right?
At the time.
So I mean clearly he was I don't know if you guys have ever like this wasn't this wasn't
like some taboo thing if you guys remember what he looked like introduction into the
fighting game scene right both representing the same exact like Balrog in Street Fighter
2 was unapologetically just Mike Tyson.
It's not even like it was they they changed his design completely a bit later.
This is Street Fighter 2. They change it later. He looks a bit different. It's like not even a question
So yeah, there's a reason they did what they did
And later on they change the design up quite a bit
And super turbo
He ends up looking this way
An ST they change him a lot so he definitely has like a different visual appearance is what the modern Balrog looks like
That's just normal shit
Now he's in top eight. He's got to be the same shit where like DJ was just Billy blanks
Don't know how like the my fireball game is gonna work out up against dial like I feel like I have a little bit more
Confidence in the DJ style of a projectile warfare
But you know, obviously I do think he's gonna start with the my very least
So I'll be interested to see how it goes and see if he alters the game plan if it doesn't go
Billy blanks like an old fitness dude in the 90s
along the way right like yeah either of them fall short there's still a chance
of the losers bracket this is gonna be a quite the match was Billy blanks google
it further on but we'll see how it plays out the shark type okay yeah lose
aside is gonna be so difficult to traverse and obviously you know who
And Feilong was.
So happy right now.
He's the last one.
Sure.
Those guys, that organization has been like the top dog to Tokyo for so long for a handful
of different e-sports as well.
Yeah, absolutely.
I believe they already took the Nibble Japan Championship in a different fighting game as
well this weekend.
So yeah, they just having a nice time.
Good old time.
But WJ, we got two chances at Ws, really.
Feilong based on law from Tekken.
Funny enough, that happens like right after by like a year.
Capcom I think was the first maybe the first one to do the Bruce Lee archetype
I think they were the first ones to actually do it
Technically Mortal Kombat? Yeah, no, Liu Kang. Liu Kang beats it by like one year 1992
And then 93 was super SF2
And did World Heroes come out?
There was a Bruce Lee game, but that was much later.
Yeah, Luke King didn't exactly look like Bruce Lee though.
That's the problem.
Like visually?
He didn't do Bruce Lee things, you know?
Like in the defense of it being much closer to Faye Long.
They long was really, really loosely, including him being short and all that kind of stuff.
Super Street Fighter 2 is 94. No, it's 93. Super Turbo is 94.
Super Street Fighter 2 The New Challengers is 1993.
Oh
You were talking about off the punish counter. There you go
Is he the good just done such a good job?
No, shoot. Yeah, we're good. You've been working like OD to set all the fans and they still just got a little fight
World Heroes was 92 that makes sense. Yeah, world heroes probably had a first one
Wow
So I think you just didn't get the charging time just very rare from a Gucci. Good point
No random jump in yet represented on the side of Yamaguchi
Level three and killed her 100%
Wait, who is it in World Heroes
No, better react to this
Gonna turn orange man
I'm gonna say you're gonna get burnt out one way or another did not risk the driver versus the old
He's in the middle canker for fully
They didn't have like eight characters
Kim dragon
Oh, yeah, oh for sure
Yeah, absolutely
That's not the capture card. That's the uh, that's the feed
So looks like we're coming here on the chat that's the feed a little bit of a
in regards to, like, popping into competitive shoot point, so.
Is it still happening on your end?
Oh, yeah, holy shit, that fucked up hard.
Generation of players.
Hold on.
There we go.
Yeah, lock in the corner, you gotta get here, you got my Gucci feeling?
Wow, the double cross, alright, he didn't get much, but at least he gets more screen-
Oh shit, what is happening?
Catricard is like, freaking...
Keep an eye on it.
Whoa, shit.
Oh shit, chat.
Bro.
I'm gonna have to give it a break or some shit. I'm gonna deactivate hold on
Try this
Whoa
Capture cards like I'm tired boss hold on a sec chat ready on hold on
I'm tired boss I'm tired boss
us
back
it's happening on the second capture card and oh shit this could be
I didn't see nothing
Let's try this
I don't know what the hell is happening
Splitter is freaking
Okay, yeah, indeed activate active again
That might have gone down to the
Splitter I'm not happy about that being the splitter though. I believe when it comes to the
I need to potentially get a higher quality splitter
That's my oh, oh Ray splitter is not good for this
Because it could be the splitter that's giving me the issues.
Yeah, I thought there was nothing on the screen, so...
No, it's not.
It's not enough. It's OBS.
As far as we're concerned, we're gonna be picking up the set of...
Splitter's expensive?
Good ones are.
It's gonna be a wild one. That's 1-1 now as well, right?
I'm a Gucci 1-1.
Oh, where is it that Eva was going through tech issues?
Right at the same point I was.
What the fuck?
Like, even in that first game where Yamaguchi was able to take it, I felt like it was...
Both the tournament's capture card and mine was blown up at the same time?
Motherfucker, did that not happen yesterday?
I wonder if we're going to stick with the...
That literally happened yesterday when we were streaming on, like, Street Fighter or some shit?
And no shit, their capture card died in the exact same time mine did.
True. I think it absolutely did.
A lot to kind of bypass what my wants to...
That's fucking weird.
Hold on
Coincidence I think not
Eclipse shit
Now we're gonna wreck it those fans out of here.
I'm the one that's that Chucks the spinning projectiles here.
And again, that did cost him the rest of his own.
He made it, but he moved forward with the bazooka knee and that's nice with the level one.
And the bazooka knee to keep the charge was so sick,
taking for his life as well.
Dodges that and wow, actually catches the recovery on the dive bomb.
And what it was, you know for damn sure,
he was trying to bait out a flash kick all the way through that dive bomb.
That's the thousand.
That's two steps ahead, but now goes for the reach a little bit.
Yamaguchi, getting that activation installed.
Bring a little furniture here in this corner.
There we go.
We find our pocket to get out with it.
Not like he's done to take some damage out here.
Higuchi has kind of been willing to do that.
He's like jumping into the bounce fan and being like,
well, you're not really going to get anything off this anyway.
Oh, I like it, Jack.
The Eclipse and Soros causes all the monsters to get crazy
and do more damage and the eclipse happens to me in real life
and it just fucks up all my capture equipment
and all my streaming equipment
oh no the eclipse
oh god
everything's harder
it's difficult to call right he could also just wake up with an OD flash check
he's done that before
yeah I think because he's been trying to establish that
he's been trying to get away with some of the other options
Brian Yamaguchi's been staying solid
oh got the eye
I know you we play in the same office
I'm gonna kick back and like to stab with this lead a little bit that dry gauges building super slow
It's not like remounting office to build that fast but speaking of which
No, I think that is my
My splitter because I have had moments after I'm done streaming because I just leave it on obviously just do that with splitters
I have had moments after streaming where I would come back
And stream the next day and my my PC capture feed is just gone
And I'm like why why is it gone and the solution would be to reset the splitter
So I think what we just saw happen in real time
Is what it eventually goes through when it's just left on it just
Yeah, most splitters aren't that way you just leave them running
The patience right there to see the tap every walk in and then basically shimmy a mental walk back
And he didn't reach with a throw right?
He just tried to put the fire and Yamaguchi still out space that still would punished it what a message to send
Oh, you man, that is his jurisdiction
There's no way you're gonna try to command normals against him within that space outside of low medium kick
Any of the mediums that Kyle's just presented that range getting blown up because of my very potent send me a punch
We're going to medium punches, immediately drive rush, but just counter immediately with the OS.
Yamaguchi.
Back dash, love it.
And he's trying to take nothing. I like that.
I'm going to give him a lot of credit. He's one of the most active guys in terms of movement.
Yamaguchi though, kind of using that strength.
There's a weakness right now, being to the punch on so many of these buttons with the fears.
And then again, shutting down the wake up option.
Couldn't jump into that one without dying.
So, Guchi did have to take that.
I'm on the top, thank you.
I think it might be the splitter that's giving me issues. Yeah, I legit do
room for Gucci in the corner. Big stride to throw a hit. Right, might get another one there.
Let's see for the reset maybe. Lull him to sleep a little bit. No. He wanted a hard knockdown but
he just dropped the combo. Rare moment. Very rare moment against Gucci. No fans being able to
dissipate that. Gucci finds himself in the corner. There was a swing off of the fierce.
I wasn't close enough for the punish on the target combo. Unfortunate. Close to the burnout
He's actually going to burn himself out, he's just committed to it with the driver's cancel.
Wake up driver first, so I wouldn't say otherwise.
What a level two to shut down the boom, Yamaguchi in grand finals.
That close though.
That was fast.
That was nuts.
It was some near instant air level two.
Yeah, like it was the good air, right?
Like wow, wow.
Okay, okay.
Actually it was ready for that first interaction of the son of a woman.
Obviously he's just trying to get his footing right, just to get a little bit
of a lead there.
try to get it back in this case, but wow, I'm a Gucci ready with the level to okay.
Well, shake that man's hand, hit him with the cheers too.
Once he tired, once he got the two one, he's like, no, yeah, yeah, and yeah, I mean,
credit to him for sure.
I'm sticking with the my looks so clean in games three and four monster stuff.
And he's going to be sitting pretty in great finals.
What a side man.
Yeah, I'm a Gucci.
I'm thinking more so for the side of the Gucci right now.
Just a little bit of that drop after he went for the level to the
continuation of his combo he had dropped it into the sweep. I was actually quite surprised that he
came out, but shout out to Yamaguchi for...
I'm looking for other options.
That's a good 2.1 splitter.
Oh my god that reaction was nuts.
But I can mess with.
There was a sonic blade into the cross. It could be a little bit telegraphed off of that.
You just have a moment to go into level 2 off of that. It's very difficult to call for
for Higuchi to kind of like live with that moment.
You saw like the distress on his face
afterwards when Yamaguchi came to shake his hand.
He knew he made a couple of fatal mistakes.
It was that big.
I could find out real quick.
So we got the party started for Yamaguchi.
Yes, absolutely.
Sorry he lost his win there.
Well, credit to Yamaguchi.
He will be going to the grand finale.
I like to call that the curtain call.
Sending Higuchi to the losers final.
So they both got a little bit of a break just
to fill it out.
Who's definitely going to be in the hot seat
is either going to be punked to God or hope.
That's going to be a good one.
I want to know, I'm definitely very familiar with the Aki matchup. Modern though, I'm not too sure.
AVPRO usually has good ones. Yeah, I have AVPROs, but...
There's been a lot of Aki players' existence over in the States.
O-Ray has usually been pretty...
I think it's always usually been pretty reliable in terms of...
Because this is the one I got.
It's been pretty reliable in terms of stuff like this, but sometimes you just get a bad one.
Like, no shit.
Like, that happens.
Sometimes you get one that's just a little funky.
And we'll see faces off against a Gucci. Let's check to see if this I'm back to the original capture card
We'll see if the unfold screening punk is looking extremely locked. They're right. I did it again
There it goes. Yeah looks like
Be how I do
Yeah, it's still fucking doing it man. That's crazy. It's still doing it
I lose a signal when you go to full screen
With this right now this is this is my job after the stream is over tonight
I'm gonna be just plugging in cables. I'm gonna debunk this
I gotta figure it out. It's all these problems started being introduced when the splitter got involved
Yeah, no, it's not HDR shit, I don't have HDR on
Human being this is hope. Okay, and he's trying to keep it alive
Yeah
Let's see punk the girl. Oh, man. I want to be so by it so long
Maybe a long night. Hopefully not
A lot to celebrate again man. Shout out to punk. He had to propose a feisty like that
That is going to be his wife
Legitimately engaged to like a couple of hours ago. We tried bypassing the splitter couple of hours on not yet
I need to
Stick that directly in without the splitter
Just to see how it goes
Yo, Michigan moon, thanks for the fun peeing pavin's next as well
Is that your vengal? Oh, that's your gontes. Thank you my brain screamed. You're gonna die wake up. So what's up? What did I miss?
We're at the very end like a free man here
You missed technically big news is that the Hulk and Shuri as Black Panther is in tokens.
number one Taiwan stand up US stand up Taiwan the lone warrior in the building I'm pretty
sure my man Bruce aka game of B is ecstatic one of the killers is actually here getting
closer and closer to the finals establishing the throw early the puddle please cross that
line I dare you wow the last that was ridiculous pump yeah the drive rush punish the last
you know what credit to everybody that's the highest level when it comes to drive
Russians because you your drivers inputs have to be on point it's not like you
just before forward you have to do a like forward then press it then press forward
again input yeah that was clean punish on the last brah these fucking AV pro
splitters oh okay look like 400 bucks fade away oh okay we ready for that he
did after period right we try to die back he didn't have enough health to
So well different pump, but nonetheless hope very dominant in the first round
Wow off the trade. We was ready pump even off of the widths that medium punch, right?
Plus frames are willing to take the throat to start it off even thinking he was gonna throw him again
That's where you saw the back dash. Oh
Yeah, do it to everybody else
Waited for the press Thunderbolt HDR splitters are like 600. Yeah, I'm not using Thunderbolt though
This is the one that popped up
Intentionally for these big punishes you can't throw up nice shape balls within that range either. Yeah, absolutely
We already seen the spin knuckle to get stew like he is ready for that to counter
Okay, space. I like that backup that the poison do the talking a little bit before you established for offense
Drive reverse watch a little too late. You got to do that super early
That's why I'm getting it on one of the other hits and down with the late overhead with the drive rush afterwards
Hope plenty of meter to put this first game in the bag. I'm saving a place and oh, yeah
I make it rain
that everybody in favor
The viewers are no just to cut that short just to go to the next game. Yeah, I really appreciate the level to
I
Think Tifa is the final character in Tekken no because that just doesn't make any goddamn sense for
Checking to get I don't think he was in fucking anything
Tifa doesn't make any sense to be in Tekken because they already have a final fantasy character dude
They already that ship has already sailed I don't think Tifa's in Tekken because they did Clive
They're two guest characters are going to be two final fantasy. No, but it doesn't make any sense
Need both about three bars of drive as well, so anybody in the driver's cancel will be coming
Clive
I don't know who that character's gonna be. I really don't at the end the final character of
This season the second I don't know but they're teasing it. They need to talk about it
It's weird that they want to talk about it this early
It definitely seemed like a character you could have saved to the end of the year or something and been revealed that summer
Are the game awards, which is what they did with Clive
It's truly a secret no I haven't heard anybody that knows what the fuck that character is
I just hope it's good. Hope it's surprising. Whoever it is, I want it to be surprising.
Leon Kennedy.
Dolly Parton. Darkfantasy, so thank you.
The round of the egg blue button is getting represented speaking of which the second wave punish on stay medium kick will sweep this round
Yeah, now more free to do that because I'll keep the bird out rice. We're not gonna get punished. All right
The last all right, and we touch the grass again the throw and why and pumpkin wisely take that
Only fine while you're in that poison state, right?
Better than a hit. That's for sure
Delay in favor of punk actually got a counter hit against him with the back throw after whatever that delay, but it was gonna be
Doesn't correctly this time with the rights
The last jab connected if I'm just sent the drive rush cancel on it
Hope it enough trying to take his turn a little bit too early, and we're all tied up like that
Substantially with that we're starting to see hope a little bit forced into the corner a lot and also trying to change up
What he needs to do to keep punk away that's been the biggest the biggest thing that we're trying to figure out what deterrence this
Octi have left after the serpent lashes been punished the options against nightshade poles and even like
Drybrush afterwards has been punished
Just that ring he's sticking it to me making the whole definitely thinking about sure. I
Like that though. The just like you said earlier vicious throwing the end serpent lashes to
Bring out some buttons made out some buttons
Thanks, we're telling you like he doesn't know it already is what am I ever know anything? I don't know anything
all the way in his face with the jab, interrupting what her one...
I'm just playing 300...
...360's in five.
...set up before, allowing him to leap further, reset with his dead roundhouse.
...put that setup on a knee-crushed face, catches all the delayed-tekus for sure.
And it's so tough to double-perfect carry that...
It should be Herata.
...because she basically tried to...
It literally should be.
Playable Herata, like that one April Fool's joke in second seven.
It should be playable Herata.
...in a single-hit scenario, like a single-hit scenario, at eight...
That would actually be kinda cool.
And he throws fireballs.
How crazy would it be if it was Herada and he was an Akuma function?
That would be fucking crazy, bro.
That would be crazy.
Holy shit.
Holy shit
Dead
That's about as close as you can get.
Plus frames all day.
At least Bump didn't get up and start walking away.
We're touching grass.
We're in the clear, says Bump.
Open up a right good defense.
Like that. Just going for the light attacks in case if you want to walk back.
Nice and potent.
Nice. Do it again.
Imagine.
Immediate DP.
Okay.
You perfect carried the entire sequence.
Yeah.
That would have been a message chat, bruh.
Magnificent!
That's good stuff there, punk. Okay?
Now, Vic!
Hope going back to the character's leg.
You see, he's picking up the phone as well, starting to dig deep into the bag here.
Figure out what he's got to do to try to bring this back as Punk has taken a leap.
Well, it's so dangerous about it when you really think about the Serpent Lash being, like, one of the biggest problems.
Even if he decides to, like, encroach in Punk's space, walking forward.
He's like, you know what, if Punk's gonna be this far back and looking for Serpent Lash and I close the gap,
I feel like low-medium kick from candy is gonna be even more of a threat right the closer that you are to can be the more dangerous
It's gonna get you're in that medium range you are gonna get exposed
It's so difficult for pump
I mean for hope even try to assess the situation at the moment it feels like well
What an option to recovery on the stand that medium first just goes for the throw instead
Oh stop holding nor five. We clearly see hope is losing a little bit of options here
Oh my that was a complete dominant from bro to get on
What the fuck dude
Cashouts are legendary. I realized I realized how much of the FGC now
Now, is effectively like,
so remember those literal fucking tabloid things
that you would see in the stores back in the day?
Bill Clinton sleeps with an alien
and has 30 offspring, like that kind of shit?
Why am I, I feel like it's like that.
I feel like a huge part of the FGC
is just that shit now.
It's just like this person said this the bad person like internet drama. Yeah, national inquirer type shit. Exactly
That content creation has a hole not me
Ain't me bro. No, I don't agree with that. No, I don't fucking know
Is any of it true maybe not
You know maybe not
And it's like it's literally the same thing like in my perspective all that was was those
Crazy gossip magazines like National Enquirer
That were available in the 90s and 2000s and shit, you know
It was just that or it's just like
It reminds me of that
We're just enjoying all the good matches.
Just see everybody just go and get nice.
I mean, I'll be real.
I think whenever punk does take to Twitter
and starts talking about stuff after he loses,
we haven't spoken about how I feel about that
to be completely real.
And it's happened enough time and time again
where I think it's like there's a pretty good opportunity
now, especially.
So to start discussing it, because there's a moment
where we should probably come together as a community
to start having these conversations
to really like move us forward
so that we can better ourselves in some way.
We can have a better understanding of like who we are.
And I think talking specifically about what punk talks
about on Twitter after like losing at tournaments.
I think it's really good that we're in a spot
where we can really start having
serious discussions. I really do. So I just want to make sure that we all come
clean on how we feel about this stuff, you know. I really do. And I feel that
what I'm saying about it can possibly allow us to be a more healthy community
after, you know. I really do. You really do too. I agree. I agree. I don't want to
I don't want to lead into all the drama stuff. I just want to have my message be really concise and clear
How I feel about it and what I think it means moving forward
I don't want anybody to be confused by what i'm saying. I want my words to be valid and matter of fact
So wise so brave, I know
I'm just saying I'm trying to say the things that everybody else always says but doesn't have the bravery to put
into an official statement
It can always be a gift. I just want to be clear, you know
I just don't want the drama farmers to have but I think you know
Any doubt and what is being said about this situation? I hope they review this and I hope they have a better understanding
Of how I feel directly because now I I'm just saying it. I'm just saying it dude. Okay
Huge Cajones, thank you
Fuck the god I spoke to my about God bless him. He's getting married. I will wait there all day and absorb sunny bones with
Perry's until I could disagree fuck you
He really said it wow during a watch party there's so many people and
And Terry and walk you down. That's crazy a lot of the match because I know one jump
It's all that it's all it takes to Twitter with you
Now we're gonna see like exactly off of that strategy now
It depends on how volatile and Gucci wants to get once that offense does get started right
He's won't actually say something. Yeah, he's getting married whether it's like OD flash
And he's done it. That's a lot of talking about potentially like a reset
We saw it from Yamaguchi who'd go for like a couch jab counter hit catching medium punch try to walk
I'm through it in media bust out, right?
There are some options there for a good area. Have you no shame
More often than not, even with those types of risks,
even if it does hit, I just think the meter
of disadvantage from having less drive
gates is just so detrimental against the candy matchup.
I will say this, well, Gucci, I feel like.
I love it how you browse DoorDash for a second,
and they're like, hey, here's a discount code.
I see you didn't order anything.
I'm over Oki scenario, game to lead, kick back.
You want to buy something?
I feel like that's definitely what you keep for.
This is the problem is that DoorDash is just
keeping me alive.
I don't want to go downstairs and eat more salmon.
I already had that earlier like tried to maybe be down to Denny's is on here. My Jesus
Even open coming out. So that's one of the things I would like to see the slugging out because of that
We'll see well, definitely gonna be a slug press. I know everybody's getting ready. I know
Pancakes before he continues, but I hope everybody at home has been enjoying all of these matches
I mean, this is pretty much the curtain call
at the end of the day man we had a lot of great fighting game action throughout
this weekend but of course Street Fighter 6 being the big I find it funny chat
that I don't think there's a restaurant in my life because I was I was at one
point in my 20s I don't think there's any place in my life I have eaten more
than Denny's because I was between the age of 20 to 30 I ate so much fucking
Denny's dude. Holy crap. I went to Denny's so much with my friends. Like, like it was
it like it was like a cultural get together sort of thing. It was just the spuck of the
food was cheap. Like Denny's food used to be cheap, right? You could you could go there
and your bill would be under 10 bucks. No problem. So we all would just go. Not now
I am not anymore. So everyone that didn't have any money, all the teenagers and
like the 20 year olds and shit would just go to Denny's so I've eaten there so much
dude holy shit. Yeah late night Denny's open 24 hours so all of our bitch asses coming
home from arcades at 3 a.m. and we need to eat. There you go Denny's is there. Denny's
nachos were pretty good at least I remember them being pretty good. I always got the
nachos dude they were not any shitty nachos fuck me hit the spot yeah they
had like a barbecue chicken wrap I had that it was hella good you know what I
miss brawdy they they sent this restaurant to the mines like do you
You guys remember the glory that was Red Robin?
Do you remember that shit?
Oh, it was a little bit more expensive, but Red Robin was fucking amazing.
They killed that bitch.
They literally sent that shit to die.
It's so sad, like, and you hear about how they got to where they're at now and they're
just doing this shit, service this shit, food is shit, because like, they just got bought
out and they undercut everything.
And it was so shitty, dude.
whiskey river barbecue chicken oh my god bro with the big old ass beautiful hot
ass crispy big all fries and shit oh and then you get some of their goddamn like
the few sauces and stuff the big onion ring tower they used to be so good they
used to be like really high quality and now they're just trash dude it sucks it
Sucks the campfire sauce. Thank you always used to go there any time I went to a mall. There's a red Robin. We're going
We are going
They're terrible now. I went there with JJ and my my mom and Ripley when she was like under one years old
And it was just terrible dude. It was not good. I was like, oh, no, and then I found out why later
And it was like shit. I think the same could be set for y'all as well
They stopped doing the bottomless fries deals. Yep
Geraldine Joedney. Yep. They literally had bottomless fries for the longest time. We just get infinite fries
If that has cannot watch this
No, I've also eaten a lot at Johnny Rockets. I've been to Johnny Rockets a lot. It's good. It's not like Godlike, but it's good
Aggressive is gonna be which is something that you highlighted earlier. It's like, you know, what Boston market is gone
You don't have them in California anymore. I don't think
That used to be really good. I like Boston market, dude
They're not bad
Remember Fodruckers, I like Fodruckers. Yeah, Fodruckers was good build your own burger place. She was good
I love Dairy Queen, no!
I don't like Dairy Queen as much as they're like Fosters Freeze.
And Fosters Freeze is cooked.
There's only one Fosters Freeze left.
It's like the last one in existence, bro.
down off the 101. It's fucking amazing. They're so good. My wife took me to it. I thought they
were all gone. And I was like, Oh my God, we went to a phosphorus freeze. It was it was amazing.
There's one here in Santa Rosa. Is that the one I'm thinking of?
It's not. I'm sorry. What is it? The 134 in SoCal? Not the 101, the 134.
Or the 126, it's been a while since I've been down there.
There's so many of those, really?
They're all gone from where I used to live.
Damn, wow.
Oh, you have one in Eagle Rock.
Okay, so they're still around.
They're just scattered.
They closed a lot of the stores, I guess.
You saw a Sizzler in Tokyo.
There's not a lot of those anymore.
Now the one in Valencia is gone.
Unless it moved.
The old one in Valencia that was next to the bowling alley, that shit's gone dude.
That's my classic one.
Or I was like, whoa, we all grew up with that shit
Never had white castle neither by
No, I think I've had white cut black castle and it was just fine. It was just like mid. I'm like, is it okay?
didn't taste
Don't taste crazy
They're good when they're like available
Damn, what a good call.
Red, Long John Silver, that's okay.
Holy shit!
Dude, the DI's have been crazy tonight.
Bubba Gump?
I used to go, like, every single week.
I worked on the prominent in Santa Monica.
We used to go, like, every week once at least, a Bubba Gump shrimp on the pier.
We would walk down to the pier and eat bubblegump.
Really good.
Dude, I went with some friends a few years back, like four years ago, to Universal Studios.
I went to bubblegump.
It was trash.
It was terrible.
Bland ass shitty food.
I could not believe it, dude.
I was like, what happened?
And it was just terrible.
Wow, it's our dominoes. They're both very good now
Yeah, bubblegump is now overpriced and overcooked. Yeah
No, I've never ever competed at Evo. Oh never
go to EVO for 14 years of my life and post events and panels and have the biggest
streams and shit. I would never do that. I would never go there and give things away to people and
giant community thing. I would not do that. I don't think it's a, I think it's disgusting
and I would never be a part of that. I would never, I would never have EVO moments myself.
I would never do that would never ever why not listen what I'm saying. I'm just not gonna do it
I would not look it up either. I would not Google my name and Evo. I would not look it up
Whatever you read is not true
Holy shit
So fucked
So far in Japan, bro, they're not gonna let you leave the country. They're not gonna let you back in
They're gonna take his passport dude
They're gonna take his passport and make a rule for next year like
They won't allow that like that'll be instant disqualification if you do it next year you gotta be careful
Oh
He dropped the factor motherfucker he dropped it cuz he got too bad
Believe me drop that under I cannot believe the mind games paid off fishes
No, we'll take that though. It's not that much
I know who keeps lost it goes for the trade on the dot-kick
There's more Foncers than I think, yeah.
I guess all the ones that were close to me are gone.
But that's off serve, dude.
It's just the best.
It is just the best.
We're shaking our heads.
Back to back counter hits.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
The overhangs.
Imagine Iguchi should just do it.
I drink T2.
He should do it.
Hey, yeah.
Yeah, right there.
Right there.
I drink tea too, I drink tea too, I shouldn't do that.
Hey, you serious?
Yeah, right there.
Oh, trying to actually go straight through that.
A little bit too far.
Five gift subs, if there's a handshake.
10 gift subs, if they hug.
He wanted it.
He wanted to blow up, punch the lady.
100 gift subs if they kiss.
You know, it shouldn't let the drive rush
dig deep a little bit if you want to have the late tech.
I'm just saying.
Just saying.
That's it.
Yeah, pull it with power.
but like a kiss of death like like I've grabbed you by the cheeks
like one of those
they're not tongue no no no like kiss of death type of shit the italian kiss of death yeah
you know what i'm gonna reserve the meter i'm gonna make sure to get one more punish counter
Now I can bring it into match point with three bars under my name. He's ready to catch the check
3,000 subs I'm not feeling generous today
All right, see what happens is he gonna go in for a handshake I don't care about this go back to the stage
Damn
I'm still shocked
Damn that's the saltiest fucking handshake
Did he go to make fun of him or some shit?
What happened?
How much I owe you guys five gifts? I'm still shocked that he went for a handshake
I'm still shocked
He gave him the Italian Japanese fusion.
He was so.
I mean, punk teabagged him.
But why is punk popping off on him so much?
What did he do to him?
He like cut in front of line when he was trying to get
Starbucks or some shit?
And he was like, phew.
And then he just ordered like right in front of him?
Again, credit to Higuchi.
You know, that's crazy.
It always takes a top level caliber player to get you
out of your comfort zone, right?
Higuchi is known for holding it down on the zoning
side of things.
But punk the dog wasn't being impatient, he wasn't fallin' for it.
So the random jumpin' definitely was throwin' Higuchi out for a whirl.
Then he had to switch modes, switch gears in terms of being offensive.
Then punk with the wicked smile says, ah, you're bringing the fight to me.
Now it's time to take advantage of you.
So that's definitely the playbook on the side of punk.
And he matched it well.
Credit to Victor.
He played that.
Higuchi talked shit during CapCup when punk couldn't make it.
That's not real.
Is that even a real thing?
Are we just making shit up?
Jumping in on the crouched medium kick. He knew when the guy was like to commit to those bigger buds that can get exposed
It's on Twitter just expertly played from start to finish grand finals earned
You know he immediately stepped off the stage and gave another dude the biggest gap ever
It was real
What's the we're gonna win line from is that from a league of their own
We're gonna win we're gonna win what the fuck is that from
It's from a league of their own isn't it
I just watched the second half of that movie
Where Evelyn has like a big error and he's like
Evelyn
Missing the cutoff. He's like, I'm sorry mr. Dugan. I'm really sorry and he's like
It's okay and then she goes away, and he's just like fucking fewing.
Oh shit, that movie is amazing, that movie is amazing.
A League of their Own.
Arguably the second best baseball movie next to the natural.
Probably the second best in my opinion.
The natural is still undefeated, but I think A League of their Own even edges out.
That edges out, Field of Dreams.
I think it edges out.
I think it also edges out Sandlot.
Field of Dreams is great, but a League of the Roan
is just so easy to watch.
It's easily one of the most rewatchable movies ever
next to Back to the Future, in my opinion.
Major League is good.
It's been a while since I've seen it.
I love League of the Roan, man.
It's amazing.
Angels with the Outfields also fun.
The rookie is also really good too, the one with the boy that breaks his arm.
The natural is big.
What the fuck?
No.
No, that's...
You're just saying that to be...
You're just saying that.
No, dude.
One more mountain to climb that is Mount Yamaguchi.
I'm gonna ban that guy, you know.
That of course, but if anybody could do it, it's punk.
But anybody who, if both of these guys could potentially win the tournament at this point.
That's right. Especially with the current advantage that Yamaguchi does have,
and he's been playing rather sharp,
one of the things that cannot be denied is how often
punk to God faces off against this matchup on a weekly basis.
Can we say the same in regards to Yamaguchi in terms of the type of style punk
exemplifies via his candy?
I've never seen Moneyball.
I don't want to see money ball because Bobby Kodak is in it and he's a huge ugly piece of shit
Sorry
Fair
I have a lot of money I should be popular
Did anybody notice when that started happening when all the billionaires were like I have so much money
I should be really popular
I should be like famous because I have a lot of money like that started happening like right around like
Like the 20 2015 and beyond it started happening where they just didn't they weren't cool with just having more money than God
They were started to be like I should also be popular
People should listen to what I say and shit. That's like
The latest that last that was when Elon turned into the psycho instead of being iron man
You know instead of just it's a being just Tony sark
like
He was that before and then he started talking and it was like oh he's an idiot
Shit
All right, here we go
This is finals.
Oh, this is Grand's. I'll shut the fuck up.
Damn, Cammy and Mai. This has been around for a bit.
Punk does have to win twice. Yes, he is in losers. We've got to work hard for this.
for the Perry the first time the corner control that we've seen in this exact
space damn that was actually far enough to reach the OD
Over to back to playing Jin? Probably not. Jin and Tekken? Probably not.
Right now punk has a chance. Oh reach it in that chance. That's the way.
A little bit of a slump that's going to make you feel it up.
It makes a lot of sense too. Thanks for being here Chad. I appreciate it.
It means y'all just hanging out. I wasn't expecting everyone to be around
this much this late for these past few days but thank you.
it's been fun it's crazy how easy it is just to sit here and yapp and hang out
during a fighting game tournament i look at the time streamed and i'm like how
we've been doing this for eight hours dude holy hell
my ass hurts sitting down this long definitely is having a fast on me but
it's wild how fast the time goes
The late tech man. That's how you see that right there. So the last one right at the delay throw
That was convincing holy shit, why wouldn't J. Thanks for the five dude. Uh, Grimm yank Prince Pansky at the oak say appreciate it
Let's go go for the throw established early there is the tick throw
Obviously that's negative but who's gonna match buttons in that scenario, right?
Slop machine get in there
Oh, that could have been a throw for more damage, but you know what?
We just going to attack the drive gauge pump the gun on the up on the offense. There it is. Whoa
Damn boy
Let them read with a little bit of drive he had left so calculated
I thought there was going to be a third hit coming from Yamaguchi, the punk, barely staving off with that drive impact at the very end.
Killing it, he's knocking at the door man, punk the god, can't he get into the zone? Same thing for Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi's looking excellent right now.
Oh, like the strength, space amount.
That was four lights by the way, and it also checked the walk back, oh speaking of checking the walk backs, Yamaguchi got caught standing.
I
Want to base something out gonna give it to him though that's the mea push expertly placed
Hey, you are gone. Thanks for the five dude
You're conscious. I appreciate it. I would have done it, too
You would still got meter in his back pocket as well to defend himself while in burnout
The buffers there it is trust me. That was a very fast EP
There it is damn round house. Okay
Wow, he actually pressed it and gave himself back that New Year's and the drivers cancelled it.
It was an opportunity for the kill by the way.
Oh, by no flinching from Yamaguchi!
He was really...
He's just big blind.
He was really going in.
I think he's gonna do it. Crop strong buffer.
Oh, that could have been it right there.
Don't get hit with a block string.
Oh my...
Can't throw a fireball because of Super.
Nice, dude!
Very nice.
I'm shocked that he was ready to DP there.
Right?
I thought everything in his head would have been ready for like reaction super or something. He was just he was just really on point
The Tekken top eight was amazing
It was actually kind of incredible it ended up going down to kizuya versus. Hey, I won't spoil the rest
But it was crazy
He needed that
That situations happened to all of us where it's like you're on you're on the cusp of death
and then something happens and you're like,
I can win this, you know?
There's like a checkmate situation.
I can win this.
If this shit feels amazing.
Yeah, we called it the path to victory.
Where it's like, oh, I see the path to victory.
I'm losing, but I see the path to victory.
What a trade, so it's arranged for the crowd to be in.
Pumped me to that game so bad, bro.
Yeah, he did.
All right, now I'm gonna go to you.
Just to kind of settle the mood down a little bit, right?
It's going to be a lot of momentum.
But Yama Guchi here, another beautiful stay in medium punch.
Got a hands fan too, so this is going to be tough.
Too many people in the building, got enough fans.
Fans, that's it.
Oh, nice back dash.
If that could have been a low floor,
that actually would have worked out a little bit better.
But obviously, try to score the knockdown just
so you can jump out of the corner.
OK, Sam.
Yo, mitochondrion's a lot, thank you.
Let's go.
Right back at you.
Yeah, Punk won Evo a couple years ago.
2020...
4?
There you go just back at it all with the jab hits it actually punish down to throw
No full conversion, but a throw is here down to the riskiest shit
Yeah, what the fuck that throw bro, I've never even been that close to my father's face
That maybe was the closest I have ever I've ever seen another male
That made me uncomfortable holy hell and I kiss my homies. I don't kiss them with my eyes open though, dude. Holy shit
You can see the prescription on his glasses
I
Can't let's go
The one that tags them and yeah, we got to switch this drive situation right even after that knockdown
He wasn't gonna be in a prominent spot with the drive sitting at where it was. So I like this level three
That's right. He's getting mauled right now. Okay, it's gonna use this for this advantage, of course
For that burnout, is he gonna get a buffer? No
I can't believe it was already too close, and it got closer.
Bro, just because you have the lens, alright, does not mean we get it.
It's a big lens, okay?
Jesus Christ.
Far
Sends me a question of not if we could but but maybe if we should
Cameraman's an optometrist
Bunkers and losers
I had a chance.
I just didn't think Punk was actually going to get hit by that,
but the throw was there.
And Yamaguchi, one round away.
Here we go.
Oh, my god.
Candy solidified for his hometown here in Japan.
That's a good start.
Here comes the OK.
DP from Punk.
Nice.
So, Yamaguchi stopped hitting Buzzy.
He thought it was going to be the OD reversal.
Oh, man.
I can't see it's all right.
put a sneak in a charge fan as well.
Really trying to switch up these timings on the fans,
catch punk, maybe press it early.
Really good defense from Yamaguchi.
Wow.
And both barely holding up to their drive meter,
punk, can't afford another block string.
That's why he's backing up and trying to press dead medium,
kick on the way in.
Oh, wow, that actually worked out for punk the god.
That's a grace.
Yeah, it was huge.
He is so close to getting that set.
And Yamaguchi, he's going to be able to do it.
The throne, Bump! The throne, Minority!
It's an EVO Japan 2026 home to Japan itself!
KO!
Damn, bro.
Never lost.
We never lost.
Yamaguchi has been looking for...
Since his inception into fighting games, he is thoroughly rewarded...
with the big victory here at EVO Japan 2026.
Is dedication to the craft and they say inception or conception now into Capcom Cup into EWC
Probably inception leading the way for Japan very impressive inception. Yeah
Baskin that picture there it is go get your trophy
And that is something you don't even gotta travel for you can just put that in your backyard now because you in your hometown
Yes, raise that to the sky
well-deserved
This is about to do announcements before top eight.
They did not.
I'm not anticipating there will be any announcements.
People think there's going to be custom announcements.
People are waiting for Final Fantasy characters.
People are waiting for Vega.
I don't think it's happening.
All rest of relaxation at this point.
That's right.
Think about it.
7,168 players.
Yamaguchi has not got it.
Yeah, that is actually crazy, dude.
He just won the biggest fighting game
tournament of all time, technically, right?
biggest open bracket fighting game tournament of all time. He should have the next Guinness record.
Like, to be real, that is the most impressive, actually the most impressive fighting game win
of all time, if you're being honest about it, by a sheer technical definition. The fact that
also punk got that far you know still and he never lost he legit never lost
like that is he should get two evo awards like getting the first spot of
7,000 players and never losing that is actually fucking insane
Go to atrocity. Thank you
They reveal the girl now better be in it everyone's been saying it
Some people had 11 wins and still didn't make top 8
That is so many games dude
Sprinklin stuff like blink respawn and all kinds of other things that are becoming up first attack
Dude how the hell do you even run that bracket?
Like holy fuck
I did that's so many like it's just I just give up
There's just too many for grabs, but how the hell do you even like coordinate that to get down to a top 16?
He's like holy shit
Wc for street fighters. I don't know how they do it very first tournament of the season
I actually want to see if second place would be enough to actually get into
EWC itself, which is gonna be something I'm gonna look forward to in just a little bit
But looking at it overall, it's been so dude everybody in this bracket. It's wild to see but yeah
Second place does qualify over to EWC official
Obviously a massive amount of points as well going towards the CBT leaderboard
He's not Japanese. Yamaguchi? He's not? I mean, color me surprised. Yamaguchi is not Japanese.
He's Mexican, believe it or not.
He's like, man, you know, I know he tried to play one of those, but man, look at those beautiful prizes, rewards.
Obviously, that's what a second place side of things.
Of course, Yamaguchi's gonna get the golden leverless. Ooh, fire!
Bro, golden leverless does not have the same, like, roll off the tongue kind of impact that the golden stick...
The golden stick, the golden leverless like...
Also the term leverless is wacky, right?
Like, I'm just gonna say it like the overall like we've called them leverless now like hitboxes we call them leverless
But the only reason we don't call them hitboxes because I think hitboxes try like they try to like
Copyright that, you know, so they call them leverless now
They should have called them dickless.
Stickless.
Stickless, dickless sticks.
Stickless sticks.
I think he's also a dreamer.
But if he really wins,
I'm glad he's still here.
And I'm glad he's still here.
Thank you so much for coming all the way here today, and I really want to thank you all for everything you've done for me.
Right. What it is, is an arcade stick that has a one less feature, you know?
Which is why I think the term leverless is not as, like, for some reason it hits weird for me? I don't know why.
I don't know why. These are all semantics, like, I'm just saying.
It's always a weird term. The hitbox made sense.
Like, that felt like a good marketable thing. I understand why it can't be used all the time.
But like a stickless stick, like it's not a stick anymore.
Arcade box.
Bro, could you imagine chat, you know, you know what day is the day that I feel like
Maybe fighting games aren't for me anymore.
I have the day for you.
I have the moment.
I'm going to paint you a picture.
It's the year like 2005.
I am approximately anywhere between the age of 50 to 75.
I go into an arcade, and this arcade
is featuring the latest Marvel versus Capcom.
And I'm like, I can't believe I survived to make Marvel 7.
I can't believe we did it.
2005, yes.
Follow me.
follow me. I walk into the arcade with my kid, maybe my grand kid or something like that.
And I'm like, it's time to play. And I walk up to the machine, put my quarter in, and the sticks are
leverless. And at that point, the shit ain't for me anymore. And it's like, oh, no, that's
actually a nightmare that's a that's an actual nightmare the only way I can play this is now
I have to play it this way it's like oh no
it's a dance pad
It's just because I refuse to learn anything else but stick I'm an old bitch and I refuse to learn anything else but stick
Yeah, I gotta thank all the production the fucking biggest tournament ever you know
That'd be a good assist me gag. Yeah, I think we did that. That's an assist me gag waiting to happen
Go from pure elation to absolute mournful dread in the span of two seconds just
And it's you just like watching other people playing
Everyone else has having a great fucking time and you're like
It's the best fucking thing ever
Please look at
Big sites a crazy ass
Location to chat Tokyo big sites really nuts
If you look at it from the outside it is fucking bonkers dude, it's such a crazy-looking place
Chat you really thought you guys fucking doubted me you really thought
thought. That's insane that you really thought. That's crazy that y'all really thought. I've
been telling you the whole time. You really fucking thought. It's okay. I didn't lie to
I was trying to bring you back to reality and you just did not want to accept it
It's okay
I'll be here with you chat during combo breaker
And then I'll nurse you back to health during summer games fest

We got things to look forward to
If those of you that are new around here. Hi. Hello. I'm playing through
I'm playing through invincible versus right now. It's a hell of a lot of fun
