I think we're just going to skip these formalities again.
Yeah, Grand Blues and Grand Finals right now.
Is it not?
Let me hold on a second.
What's my multi-stream blank?
Let me get over here.
I gotta go brush my teeth
Yeah, GVV SR is up right now
I'm gonna bring this up
Here we go
There we go, there we go, trying to catch up a little bit high, hello, all streams are
there, cool.
I'm going to have to add some more.
We'll get some side tournaments today, okay, another one second chat, I'm going to go brush
my teeth and get freshened up a little bit I'm gonna get live at least to get
this on here Evo is in Evo stream one top eight as well dang all right we got
things to watch
No, don't try to challenge this guy
We'll sketch a code you're certainly take advantage of the year by spending super. Oh, yeah
See
100 spend.
Really looking to throw me the dash, like, takes out Sammy,
tell me the two-and-trade.
Coachy Gupta on four games straight.
Four games straight here in Grand Finals.
Shio cannot get his footing.
Look how casual a coach you've been about this.
Like, now there's another day.
Getting on the set in.
Got to stay calm and collected, man.
It's like you said earlier.
Can't get overconfident before the job is done.
That was unfortunate.
Yeah.
That was a tough one showing up.
True, true, true.
get you get you get screened not what you want there awesome source
back it's that crap here safe jump and she oh do you really think she has a
pass right now the BC last second low plot there
That's more awesome sources.
Big dead.
Should be enough to kill, yeah.
Alright.
Shio finally getting around on the board.
Jeez.
Oh, jeez.
He's been looking so oppressive these last couple of games.
Certainly not making this easy.
Right, Shio.
Might have been what he needed.
Confidence boost around like that.
Okay, got some triple stride.
Yeah, just shy here.
One, two, three for the sport of position.
Off the wall we go with the right free.
All right, you know what this means?
Okay, books it out, uses that PC.
Push Koji away.
Dammit, Slajase is the 4th wheel.
Gets a core.
Eliminate from play immediately.
Slightly though for Koji.
Actually, if we get this next touch, we got to kill, you know, one brave point left on the side of Xio, the two L.
She was going to fight tooth and nail for this round. Okay?
Let's see if we can make something come out of this one.
Alright, he's back here. Missiles.
Careful that's down. Oh!
Got the back throw, a ton of damage, quarter position.
He's advantage four. Oh jeez, what's up? Harry comes out!
Nice finish off that ultimate special.
Yeah, man, that was a do or die moment.
I feel like if that parry was baited,
it would have been a horrible mental guard break,
perhaps, for Shio.
But in this situation, it does fire back.
OK, it's one-one.
That's one of those scenarios that's
kind of scary to go for the bait on the reversal.
OK, hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, boy.
Well, boy.
The sun, I know, all right?
The daytime.
It's all very weird.
Is the Wayne still dominating this game?
Does that be how I do?
YouTube chat, are we good?
We're good?
OK, cool, we're good.
We're good.
Home day two.
No.
Going on at all.
We're perfectly on time.
Can do this.
There we go.
Hi, hello.
The monitor sunlight levels?
Yeah, you know, it's okay.
We're seeing each other in a new light today.
Absolutely, it's going to be coming out for sure.
It'll be a huge effort.
I've been taking the situation now for Koji Higigo.
Reach one on the braver points.
Massive light, he gets that grab, and it's going to be enough.
Wow.
It's missing braver points.
We're going to set the pace.
Oh, yeah, it really does.
watching vf is it going away is this vf like literally disappearing after these grand finals is it gone
just chillin
It's the Rufal Monger showcase for trochan. What did he find? Did he find Koso?
Damn
I'm taking the lead here, 2-1 now. One game away from your second EVO trophy.
My camera just anchors just you. You might have two streams up.
You have a new webcam? No, bro, this is just what the camera looks like when you have natural light.
This is the thing, when it's not the exact same light source all the time.
I'm always streaming at night and shit.
Yeah, Shio just too much light, the sun.
And we go to the cat drill, paint off that.
And again, that parry, Shio just stepping into a second gear here.
When it's not a Twilight Den of depravity?
Yes, that's exactly what I described his office as.
The Twilight Den of depravity.
Yeah, I saw the shader injector thing for FF7.
I mean, we're not playing it anytime soon.
Maybe at some point next week,
but next week is also full of like,
multiple fighting game releases
before I have to go on vacation.
So eventually I'll check it out.
The dash light right on top of the ultimate reel.
Yeah, let him know.
Okay, here we go.
She am I back.
This is such a male fighter ever set on this.
What a grand finals, what a treat this is.
There's that back throw.
I
Do impulse and quiz thank you, dude
That is on even point here!
One round away.
For being your back-to-back champ.
She'll step the bleeding here.
Oh wow, coming out of the rest of here.
You want to chat but you want to watch on YouTube? That's easy!
You just pull up the stream on YouTube
and then hide the chat on YouTube
and pop out the chat on Twitch
and drag it over there. That's easy!
I know a lot of people that do that
Chat pop out is a godsend
The ground floor versus Torr!
It bites!
Very nice.
Now back to back!
Very nice.
Evo Champion!
Koji Koko does it!
From the loser's side again!
Very nice.
You can't keep this back!
Let me get a multi-screen muffin running.
Hold on a second.
Koji Koko is in the back.
But Shio, what a run this guy had.
He was looking like the favorite up until the very last moment.
But Koji Koko proven too strong here, guys.
He is your Evo Champion!
favorite up until the very last moment but
Koji Koko proven too strong here guys he is your EVO champion!

You're waiting like
So many streams not at all welcome you are new here
We're directing this shit, okay, we're piloting and directing the ship
How do you get multi-stream on switch theater without ads you pay for twitch servo

oh nice counter here
there's a counter hit here
is mr karate dlc bobby yes he was the latest dlc character
i mean outside of ken shiro who are gonna be playing today
gonna be messing around with that work just a neutral jump
trying to avoid maybe he was waiting for the rip long actually
Yes, they well punish. I think he was too close to try to do a fireball.
Oi!
Yeah, we're gonna get full of the damage combo.
No, no!
He dropped it unfortunately.
Uh-oh!
He's got a lot of damage out of that though.
We could have spent at least one bar, but be careful.
Yes, of course, the cross-ups.
Let's side-change and...
Yes, one more.
Here's the damage.
There's a good position to keep the pressure going.
I like the defense for that over here.
Oh!
Really importantly, he is.
What?!
Miss the condo and forks that lead, but it's still turned into a setup from the knockdown.
And then they'll get the cross up, takes the first one.
You know, I haven't seen this much.
Dang, view count thing that's not working, man.
Things are just busted.
Uh, hold on a second.
And that does these Yagos, Dan.
They're...
Exactly.
So he's getting his award
Where's that side tournament happening carnitas, where's that even going on?
of the pressure so be careful
L.A.G.R. Gaming all right hold up
refresh see if we can find it
Max is in a new office. Chad, do you believe that I exist when I'm not streaming at night?
Do you believe it? Everything here, everything the light touches, exists beyond the moments
that I'm streaming. Can you believe that? That's crazy, right?
Isn't that? I know it's a weird thing for streamers not to stream their whole
last life, but it's true. It's just a truth. It's a true truth. The truth.
If I travel to Japan in this game, I've competed in tournaments all over the world, and I feel
like I have a very good grasp of, I guess, how, like, where everything is. And I think
that's an advantage that is pretty much exclusive to me. So it's like a great privilege
in that sense and I'm just, I'm happy.
The F is also going down.
Is there going to be an announcement for Granblue?
Is there?
Are they having a Granblue announcement?
You're in front of you and at home.
Max for Evo next year. I would never go to Evo.
I would never be officially a part of Evo for like 13 years
and like host events and panels and the pigs into commentary and I would never
do that I would never ever do that and compete I would never I would never do
that especially compete I would not compete at Evo for like 15 years would
not do that i think it's bullshit
hold up
hey
hey why did that happen don't like that
hey my viewing experience
win the prestigious title. Absolutely. Becoming the EVO champion.
Mind-feeling experience.
Legacy in that Pantheon of EVO Warriors. Come on now.
That's a fact.
That means a lot. I mean, you know, coming third at EVO is great too.
Yeah.
But winning EVO, absolutely.
I haven't qualified for the Open Shadow yet.
That's bracket I entered. That's a good question.
When's the last time I had an opportunity to enter?
Outside of, like, funny side tournament shit.
What's playing for the life?
Oh, I'd have to think about it.
I've got a funny EVO.
I would always be working whenever I was at EVO and shit.
I'd have to think about it.
Oh my gosh, she's gonna-
Oh my god!
Goddamn.
It was main game.
It's either gonna be 2015 or 2016.
The Dragon Ball tournament?
Yeah.
I guess.
I guess that counts.
I was like 2017?
I mean, I just did it because I wanted to play more Dragon Ball.
Shit, bro.
Maybe even K.I. like in 2015 or 2016.
I don't remember.
Cuz I had to like dequeue my ass several times because I had to do a gig. I had to go to either a
Well, I'd have to go to a commentary or I had to be somewhere
That somebody needed me or some shit
Trailer in a bit
Big shout out to the rivals of A-30 for being the fourth biggest entrance being the first
platform fighter since 2019.
Yeah, that's cool.
That is cool.
Boy.
Announcement for GB?
Well, bud.
That's RobTV.
That's not Grandblue.
Okay.
Nothing.
That's RobTV. That's not Granblue.
Oh, there's a video.
Somehow Tifa made it into Granblue as well.
Somehow.
fall. Is this our destiny? And even in our moments of doubt, when we lie deep, we'll
see the truth. This is what I tell the chat all the time. We'll carry on, looking into
the blue skies. That will restock the inferno in our hearts. This is what I tell chat.
A new path, fueled with every step. They walk toward a future sky. There's definitely
More of the game coming
Who the hell's it? Why is it kind of cool-looking? Oh
No, it's a bitch with a big sword and he's edgy as fuck. Oh
oh no he's the reeling prototype? really?
oh no
oh shit
god damn it
ah god damn it
he's almost so bad guy-ish
what the shit ass
Max likes him, shut up
shut up
Oh no. God damn it.
I'm a sucker for big sword characters. I legit am. Son of a bitch.
was that announced before? the DLC in the system mechanic white reverse drive
impact reverse drive impact is in the game
And with good reason of course that was our first game of day two of evil and after this we have top eight for guilty
Gearstripe. We'll see you guys after this play.
But virtual, virtual fight uh, virtual fight uh, RobTV, god damn.
But virtual, we just saw caliber three tournaments going on? Oh, fuck me. Oh, fuck.
I'm getting rid of the ArcSys stream.
Was it a matchy big pop a chunk with a rail ride? It could have been right
Could have been told time. All right. He's a soul calibur streamer
Dude they can actually do this now that the game is available on PlayStation, you know
They can actually do this shit. Oh my gosh, SC3. This is the fucked up version of SC3 to
PlayStation tournaments
That's definitely weird
He's trying to dissuade the Hori's that's been talking earlier
Hey stop it
Look up good so caliber three still looks man
Yeah, it's hard. Yeah, like just run in and then aggressive like we'll run up to much content getting over simulated. Welcome to the stream.
Welcome to the stream. Are these guys going to continue and do SC six? If not SC two, are they gonna actually be kind of hard to do SC two? Would it not?
ST2 doesn't have any actually like easily playable version of the game outside of OGE like if you have an Xbox Series S
Alright, I'm excited though. Switch version good point. He's playing a roachie, right? Yeah
You locked in the losers, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah big pop-up runs SC6 tournaments. I know
If I'm watching Soul Calibur, if I'm if I'm
if I'm
what's called a
uh, lurking, uh, when I'm watching streams and watching Soul Calibur stuff, it is
uh-oh
usually a big pop of doing stuff
oh sorry, I'm listening to that TO stuff
anyway, for, let's see where Rochi's coming up, because like, I'm kinda curious how
how he really kills them to be honest with, did you see the match?
um, I saw a little bit
okay, okay
I think Shanghua, I mean, Rochi's been playing Shanghua for a very long time
so, so once the 2-2-B comes out, you know, just like old times
Yeah
Shots of red foot. I think red foot plate. I think shot virtual fighter grand finals. Oh boy
This is grand finals. They're already going through top eight this fast
Jesus bro Jesus. It's a vice-ra
Did you miss the token showcase? Uh?
People have been like playing the game every once in a while on stream. I
Just rendered out a fresh batch of
of Magneto footage with better frame rate. It bugged me that my footage looked rough.
Looked rugged.
Spent by so fast. God damn it.
Did he say the last of the Mohicans? Steve also says that.
It's only people over 40 are gonna talk about the final person in a bracket and call them the last of the Mohicans
I cannot believe I heard that again the last of the Mohicans. Yeah, my view counters busted hold on a sec chat
There goes
Zero twitch user viewers dang
a gas chamber
actors
great movie dude doesn't daniel day lewis
play the last mohican
that's so funny
actually is funny
natural lighting looks good in the room here let me let me really fuck with
you guys on a second
widest shot possible
you can see like the edge of the the edge of the
monitor there
look at all that shit there's a table back there yeah
there's this this table is right here this is like the land table this is
where i did NBC IB development in this corner
literally was hunched over in this corner with that light in my face
the whole god damn time
you know
So, yeah, this place exists in the day.
The Windows 10 PC it is.
It actually is.
Do a room tour one day.
I have good news for you.
I have really good news for you.
There's so many.
Just Google max dude room tour. Let me get this crap off the screen
What yeah
Damn what a what a grand finals. I'm into this shit. Yeah, thief made it in. Oh shit. Okay. What a grand finals, bro
Nice kit cancel
But I like that steal that was very nice. Yeah doesn't gentlemen thief usually play
Or am I thinking of
Usually see thief on
Who is it damn? I can't remember
It's either Jean. I'm thinking of him between another another player the dude that plays leaf a right
That's
The dude who's the quarters dude trying to remember
You also know VF numbers. Yes. Thank you numbers goddamn do my brain
Oh
Like this a lot so far
Whoo side turn shit
Hell yeah, hell hell hell yeah hell yeah, let's go
Nice got the the hard extension. Let's go
I don't know what happened to make me like enjoy playing Akira so much in this game
It's so stupid just play Jean
Literally the game gets ten times easier numbers got fourth. Oh shit
I
Here is so satisfying. Yeah, that's the problem
It's not that here is like necessarily difficult to play he's not that hard it's just to do the good shit is really hard
And good shit with Jean not our dude not necessarily difficult
I'm not going to do it
Is there a technical place like Akira? Yes, Leo
Oh
It's logic one hell yeah, bro. No blocking no blocking
Yeah
I love it in vf where it doesn't matter if you're plus because you can still sidestep
Barry not that much what the hell how many throws are there you have to there's multiple
different throws like at least three and you cannot react to which one it is
like you just have to know there's like one that leads to like more damage
holy shit clean so throws in this game are true right like you you cannot you
don't know what's gonna throw it is usually you have to guess tech right
you have to know what they're going for which is why throws are so powerful
but the cool part about throws is that they're are they're straight they're
beaten by strikes no matter what like it's a rule you know so if somebody's
throwing out an attack in most situations attacks beat throws period it's
true rock-paper-scissors yeah I think DOA exactly DOA RPS pretty much you know
I'll DOA and VF share a lot of similar foundation in that way
God damn back for PK landing in the corner hurts
Whoa side throw
But
Who nice throw tech holy shit
Yeah, you'd be shocked how many throw texts there are in this game when it's come
Punch counter you'd be shocked how many throw texts there are in this game when they are true guesses
People know what you want to do
All right, another dash.
Free knockdown.
Group the ground, never mind.
No group the free.
Oh!
Again, the wake up high was your instance.
Goddamn Jackie Reastans, bro.
With the sweet spot up back, K.
Because if it's just slightly, that would have flipped it,
but it didn't come out.
He had to get punished for it.
Broke side throw.
Holy shit.
He's got to get off the speed to one right now.
He's K.
Nice.
No wall.
K, yep.
Oh!
Ow!
What the fuck?
Oh my God! Holy shit. What? That was insane.
What's going on? I got something for ya.
Oh my God. Holy shit. Turn this shit up, dude.
He's showing him who the boss is right now.
Fuck this. Hold on a second.
Everything working and going according to plan.
He is three rounds away, ladies and gentlemen,
from being crowned your ego champion.
A lot of this virtual fighter
Look at this shit, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
That shit was mad cool that shit was mad cool brother
I'm not sure if this is a
task script. Yeah, no.
You wasn't going to be there.
You wasn't going to hit. Whoa.
Yo, we never see this. Be like
water, my friend. But this is
Cogni. Because our left field
right now. Absolutely. I've
never seen. Let's just pick
we needed. Hang on. Let's do
it.
Oh
Goddamn
Okay
Oh, oh, oh!
That's nice stepping.
Oh, shit!
Oh, okay.
I thought he was going to get the edge of the wall.
Wow, Kaake corner combos.
Oh, my fucking god.
Oh, my god.
Oh, god.
It's not over.
It's not over!
Now we're...
Getting drops.
Oh, shit. Deep and clean.
hell back to gene here we go turning it up
Oh god damn you get you get wall from this too?
Holy shit.
Yeah, I want people in.
Granted, you know, U.S. and all.
Okay.
Okay, ooh!
That shit's going away by the way, Wigglesdicks.
It's going, that's going away in the next video.
I got that impression from the devs, that shit's gone.
Oh, the goddamn cancel. Oh shit. Get him. Get him. Kill him. Kill him. Oh, come up the
Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Let's go! Hell yeah, USFVF! Hell yeah, brother! Hell yes, dude!
America took VF like an A, let's go! Damn, he called the throw multiple times there.
Like, full ass launchers, the throws just going through his body
and just clipping through him.
Number one in America.
So again, round of applause for gentlemen D, please.
Yes, definitely, definitely huge round of applause.
But yo, let's give it up for none other than Gaxay Serra
and amazing phenomenal run.
That was hell of a damn, bro.
It's funny because like all the characters we saw
are characters I love to watch in this game.
For taking second place.
Absolutely.
I mean, somebody that was on a lot of people's
to actually win the tournament once again, he delivered so big shout-outs to him.
Yeah, gentlemen, he's owned it man. Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Time and time again, he's been trying, he's been gunning for that top spot.
I remember the second place versus Credita at EVO, you know, and finally got the gold,
got the W, he earned it. Yeah, the Akira was solid. Yes.
The Jean was solid. Yes, yes. I love it. Great performance from him.
Damn. Maybe the last Virtua Fighter V champ? At least in the
the spectrum of like big main games, you're not wrong. Like there's a chance that this
could be the last big time that VF5 shows up as a main game at EVO, you know?
It was a solid run. You can see him shaking hands with some of the fans there.
For sure. For sure.
Really well-deserved victory. Almost had a bracket reset, but he would not be denied
today.
Yeah.
Didn't want to let Gaxay-Sera get too comfortable.
Absolutely.
You think it's really for the known as VF6 pre-orders? I mean, yeah.
It's a great run from him, of course. And Akira, aficionado, myself, I loved
watching him deliver the goods great reads all the way through amazing you're
like you want to go back and play vf again i want to play so many fighting
games i just live vicariously through people bro
you always knew exactly where i was looking for and was able to deliver
yeah i mean yeah they did they did a carrot that you have to live vicariously
through other streamers when they're really good
that was who we want was the reality of getting good at fighting games chat is
that they take time you just need time dude it is what it is to become
like satisfied or happy like it just takes time uh trophy for jennifer
He's been fighting for that one for a long time.
Always somebody come and stand.
Always slip down his grasp.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Again, poetic justice for him, not only the win,
but again, he had to face a Japanese player.
And then after all the years of EVA,
I think the first BF EVA was 2020.
In fact, it's all this like bloodwig shit,
which it turned into drama, which I think is kind of weird.
It was kind of weird.
We just laughed at it last night.
But I think it leads to a more interesting conversation
that will, I think, should happen,
which is, I realize my perspective
on the whole viewership aspect
where it's like big stream or sub stream fighting games
because of viewership.
And it's like, yeah, that's normal.
There's not actual drama.
But the interesting part is the conversation.
The conversation is fighting game viewership.
And what has happened to fighting game viewership
over the past like 10, 15 years
as somebody that has been, that's my job, right?
My job is to get butts in seats
and to get people to watch fighting games, you know?
And yeah, shit has changed.
Shit has definitely only growing.
No, not at all.
It's been the reverse.
Over the past like post COVID, it's been the reverse.
Viewership for fighting games overall like
kind of goes down in terms of like content creation.
So the same thing has echoed across the board.
I'm like, unless you get something
that is like algorithmically catching,
Like, yeah, you can try to bait the algorithm on YouTube
and get that kind of shit.
But just in terms of weekly numbers
and overall viewership on majors and shit like that,
it is down.
And I think the perspective that I have of like,
so how did this happen, how did I combat that?
Especially for me personally,
because the focus of my entire life
not entire life but the focus of my content creation life has been to get
butts in seats right to get people to watch fighting games to give people
reasons to tune into big tournaments or stuff like that or events that I go to
or events that I put on and to try to garnish viewership to get people to
be interested so we need to talk about this at some point because it's a
long story dude like it's always been a long story like the the short story
is that if you're looking to get into fighting games for the money you're
You are in the wrong community, bro.
You are in the wrong fucking community.
If you're into this shit for the revenue, oh boy, I have bad news for you.
It's like, bad news.
Fish tacos, thank you.
And that's like always been the case, man.
It's better now than it ever has been, comparatively speaking.
But compared to like the size of other games, other communities, even being creators
for other communities and shit, the exponential growth that you see across the board
is so much bigger. It's fucking hilarious. The only reason you're into this shit is that
like maybe you can make a living doing fighting game content and also you just love the shit
out of it, right? Maybe you just love it. You just love it, you know? Joy, people say
you're into fighting games for the clout and you laugh. Exactly. It's like, brother,
Pitch this ain't Fortnite!
Pitch, I'm not playing Minecraft, like holy shit!
The cloud, it's like...
Huh?
I mean, I'm sitting here trying to impress like a couple of thousand ex-sureyuken.com members?
Like what the fuck?
Anyway, it's worth talking about because I found solutions for this over time.
I did, like over these, especially 10 years,
mostly like 2012, 2013, all the way to 2021, 2021, 2022.
When I was actively chasing only increasing viewership,
that was what I wanted the most,
just to get more people interested.
I haven't been doing that for like four years.
Haven't been doing that for four years.
So, and my overall content has changed a lot in that timeframe because I don't only, I don't try to like cover as much as I used to, like try to get my feet wet into like almost every single fighting game to get everybody interested.
I don't do that anymore. I mostly, after becoming a dad, I've relaxed a bit and I only mostly focused on the shit that I'm really into while, while like still covering some of the other stuff and being interested.
chat. I can't tell you how mad, uh, certain sides of the community get mad at me now
that I don't cover their games. They get pissed. Why is it max making videos on this? What
the fuck is going on? Why? And it's like, well, I'm just going to talk about the things
I kind of care about. That's it. Um, no, I'm not talking about DOA. No, I'm talking
about uh i'm talking about nen impact dude for like the longest time people were like
what the fuck aren't you playing nen impact what's wrong with you it's gonna be huge it's gonna be
the next big it's the next marvel like like these anime fans were big pissed at me and it was like
brother i don't i i have dnf duel at least look kind of interesting to me okay but like nen imp
like sparking zero was the same thing like why aren't you playing sparking zero it's gonna
be so big and yeah it was big it sold more than like Dragon Ball fighters but I couldn't
give two shits dude. You mean Sparking Zero? No, no, no. Sparking Zero was one side but
Sparking Zero is also like not a fighting game. No, no, no, no, no impact is a traditional
fighting game. It's like a tag-based traditional fighting game made by Marvel 3 devs. So people
were like, hey, you know, why aren't you covering this shit? Anyway, it's Sonic
I think we're not getting a VF announcement here chat. They already said it's gonna be on Sunday. They were teasing it

What is going on in that K.I. stream?
Now you got me curious.
What is going on in that K.I. stream?
That's just a dog fighting general rum from Gears of War.
You can't cross me up anymore.
Not in K.I.
This is normal shit.
Chad, this is ten year old shit.
These are general rums bats that obscure the screen and make it hard to break him.
This is normal shit, brother.
I can't see shit, that's the point!
It goes away, the whole point is that you can't see shit.
This is like fucked up bats.

Oh, get the mid.
All right, C-Bay.
Looking great right now.
Even after two humiliating rounds, by the way.
But staying strong, keeping his mouth open.
Do me a little funny.
Next round, he'll have the ace,
so he doesn't have to hit it.
The thing is like doing that it's such a hard ass, right? Yeah, man, but you have three rounds of
What the heck the amateur Reno bro
Get chat. Okay same stage. Is it under the star DG random caliber? Yeah, yeah, it'd be like that sometimes
Warriors cross swords
I don't want to disrupt the chat and type shit in the chat, I don't want to I don't want to bring attention to myself.
I just like lurking and contributing.
Send a scout, somebody scout it.
Don't say my name.
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that.
Yeah, if I'm, if I'm typing, it's gonna be in my own chat and it's gonna be talking

Little pokes, poke score.
Okay, wait, just stand.
Oh, okay.
Nice job.
Yeah, got it on cold on a second.
It's so difficult.
Okay, you're there, it's a comp for that, I thought.
Nice job.
Okay, so try.
Okay, maybe if it turns back or with Punish, that is thinking about trying to pass that contribution,
but you got those, you got those.

All right, here we go.
You can't afford to keep holding it, though.
Oh! Oh!
Good money.
Yeah, at least comfortable.
It's my fault, isn't it?
Yeah.
Thank you!
Oh!
It's my fault.
Man, I like Soul Calor 3, but not that much.
Not that much.
That's for no reason.
That's for real.
That would be the weakness.
All right.
He hasn't used the B yet.
He's still holding B.
Yeah, he's holding D.
It's gonna be hard yeah yeah yeah he didn't do any of these combos so he's probably thinking about using them.
It hasn't been a pause in the timer so.
And yes even the timer pause is still a balance.
Here it comes.
Oh no it's off timer.
Yeah he has a tension it was a pause for a minute.
One second.
Oh that's funny.

To the leg again?
All right, no more attention for me.
I hope we get our game!
They're playing really small caliber right now.
If somebody shows up on stream either playing secret or nightmare, I'll put in another 50.
If they win another 25.
No, we must get to second nine first and then fuck that up.
Okay, low?
All right, all right.
All right.
I can't call this.
You missed the nightmare mirror.
God damn it.
All right, I need a head in.
All right, go ahead.

And does anybody know from Big Papa's side?
Is it SC3 and the Soul Calibur VI?
Is there no Soul Calibur II?
Two doors.
He's gonna have, when we kill them,
the game's gonna get a lot more different.
Yeah, he's gonna have more.
Yeah, there's an audio delay, don't worry about it.
I've never fought Hilday in this game.
No, I fought Hilday enough in Soul Calibur IV.
To make that choice never to do that again

games here when we have that reversal. Oh no, grab your ghost. The no shimmy shimmy,

just based on timing. Yep.
Oh
Let me pull up the stream so I have them. Um, let me give you the link
For anybody that wants to become one with the matrix here's the link
Here's every stream we got up right now
And you need you need bandwidth trust you need bandwidth for this shit. Oh, it's also pinned
Yeah, I added a couple since then maybe but
Nice check on the drive.
Saying a lot of great things about Soul Calibur and always holding it down for the Soul Calibur fans.
And thank you to everybody. And Maturito themselves put in $50 to Soul Calibur 6's Maturino,
which I did not expect because they said they were putting it in for Soul Calibur 3,
but they also put it in for Soul Calibur 6. So that's really great.
Thank you everybody. We're going to get grand finals started very soon for Soul Calibur 3.
Sick.

Okay
The time to add time and change up by far spirit train stop and get there in time
Oh, but challenges the birth and the guard break again

That's a I think he's dead. I want too many times with the no weird access
Oh
Damn did the DP holy shit
Wow
Just a bit fast here opening up a sliding now double big slide
Yeah, fuck it don't
Right, that's one thing I decided to do against playing law players is like I'm just like I'm just getting hit by this shit
I'm just gonna let it hit me all the mixies
Like why not this is tournament first to two the auto-pairing from DSS. Oh
Oh my god, I thought he almost had a link
He's playing out of his mind up forward one takes two rounds over double
Not shot
The tagger for the Kip up no dice
Nice
Dude he actually avoided the slot I've never seen that shit sidestepped
God damn
How many times is he gonna avoid it or block it?
I cannot believe he did it again
And that time didn't sidestep, that's weird.
S3 saving tech, and dude, I made a video recently saying like, this feels good.
Like, I got to play for like a good solid session and I'm like, there is way less bullshit
in the game.
Like straight up, especially compared to what like season two was working with, there's
just way less bullshit.
And apparently like a lot of the tech and reviews have gotten better too.
Even on Steam? Looking better.
Wonderful!
That's all I wanted. I just want shit to get better. I don't think we'll learn.
Just learn from shit.
Nice punish.
I could easily reach God 3 in a couple more sessions. I have no idea how the rank scaling is, but...
I mean, it was going very well.
I don't know, I can't remember what we got to, but I didn't lose that much in rank that night.
And I was not doing the new good shit.
with the Albatross 2, fortune it would be.
As he can work with 2, clinch him up!
Ooh, the pro tech.
This god damn.
He doesn't flash, he doesn't splat anymore.
I hate that move.
Yo, Seifer, appreciate it, man.
Keep up!
Keep up! It's a powerful, what was that?
Doesn't sideload the right way.
Oh, god damn forward through.
I'm gonna steal it back!
After all that work.
It works so hard, too.
two rounds at the beginning have three shots to get one more bubble and he had
momentum this round just let it slip away double-ticks oh shit no it's okay
over three kilo like hold on chat hold up
SC3 Kealik is crazy.
Is this a custom?
This is not one of his alts.
Damn, coming so far.
The lighting is beautiful. This game is from the PS2 era.
This is a PS2 game, just upscaled.
It's insane.
It's his ult? I don't know if I've ever paid attention to Keyleth's ult in Soulcaller 3.
I am as well from the PS2 era.
Fuck.
Okay.
Okay, okay, like literally he's playing a game of like inches versus a guy with a gun
Whoa, my god
Shit is tracking bro, it's not so caliber to tracking but this shit is tracking
I'd like to say thank you to everyone else, players, fans, viewers, staffs, all, everyone else supporting Guilty Gear Shrike.
You are expecting for Robokai trailer today.
Alright, let's roll with them.
I'm crazy as this bitch gonna be. What are they gonna do?
Well, not so they're gonna go
How many 10 dreams does he have to eat?
This dude looses his minds in the crowd
There's a third arm now
And he's just straight dual wields. Wow
Wow.
Whoa, was that?
Oh, he has extra jokes now.
What the hell?
Oh my god, he's gonna be so popular.
He's gonna be the, he's the dad of the game.
Oh my god, they, oh, he's so goofy.
Oh my god, that's a freaking...
Is this a JoJo reference?
So, Robokai is releasing in July 2nd.
Oh, damn it.
Today, I don't have much more to announce, but just a little bit of another slide.
Um, let's show it so our quarter finals is will be held in New York City and today's
top eight is the path to New York.
Cool.
He seems more in line with Lil Wayne from Granville a little bit.
Please enjoy guilty strike.
Top eight.
I mean, it is the same devs for the most part.
Yeah, they I like the fact that they leaned into the goofball this like way even more
Like he's like again having a really trolly character is going to be a big oolars is on stream
I'll shut the hell up
He's always been in specter gadget, but now he's like making credit like cracking jokes
full second full second starting yeah yeah
that little guy is not bad either
oh but that one is launch punishable
gonna get the walls reward as well activate now
oh fakes out the EI you can go for the low smash to break the wall instantly
smart choice
trying to double with the gunshots trying to find the wall again
Former main brother. I played Victor for two sessions
Like two days back when the game came out and then I dropped them
my former main
I mean I get it. It's like people see a few videos
This guy didn't share that's why I played him for two days. I'm like this bitch is boring
It seemed like so much longer it go back and you can watch the mods they're all still there
I switched pretty quick
What do we have in a mode I have in a mode we had a mode for the entire Tekken roster we had an emote for every Tekken character
immediately retaliated with the jab maybe not gonna take no to that we did yeah
you guys don't remember that we literally had an entire Tekken branded
stream I paid for like I paid literally a lot of fucking money to get a bunch of
Tekken emotes and then and then Marvel vs. Capcom came back and the MBC
months to go over. A likely story.
that white step to the thank you
Yeah
Take any large day there's not much large tech, I don't know
No. It really isn't. It's mostly like the shit I don't know is matchup shit, bro. All
of Lars's really powerful mixups are- Oh no. All of Lars's like really powerful mixups
just gotta win away
Mike cut off. No, it didn't
They did a really good job with Jerry and this game is fun. It's also like easy to use and mad powerful
Jerry of the River, Greg of the Lake.
Jenny from the block.
I don't care whatever.
What are you talking about?
Fight.
Oh, good stuff.
Oh, this is crap.
We are back to neutral.
All right, so I have to tell you...
Caroto di Riera da Fedecini.
Yeah, it's that.
It's the launcher again.
Oh, it's getting launched over on the other one.
Yeah, it's getting launched over on the other one.
Yeah, it's getting launched.
I
Missed the Perry god damn does that suck
Too bad you're dead
and
the money as the late yes it is you live
the whole god damn
X is a monster. She certainly is. Always has been on the bright side. It happened during
a super animation that what is the character that in all the Soul Calibur games almost
has like a consistency of always being good. I think it's Chanchua. There's very few times
where she's like not been mad good nightmare. No, there's been some he wasn't nightmare
was not necessarily super good in Soulcalibur 1? I don't think so.
On-Street, no matter what, on-stream everything, everything.
It's honestly a classic. It is honestly a classic, yes.
I kind of miss it, despite it being an old-
Mitsurugi? Was he good in 5? That's what it is, right?
Yeah. Alright. Jesus Christ, all the controllers.
I used to be so fast at just being like,
that is disconnecting ever thank you all right so yeah I think that line I know
it's usually for the other reasoning but as long as I guess that's that line and
they super usually get kills usually that's my it's an absolute demon in
Soul Calibur 2. The fucking demon.
Nickel Announcements get today. Uh, they just showed Robokai.
They look pretty goofy.
And now some new robo character before robo kind of think I missed it's id no we did
not miss that we did not miss that we saw it I was upset I was pissed off
They showed this id guy and I was like God fucking damn it these devs these these
these friggin developers dude can you believe it chat it is from the JRPG
right no I get it I understand that id is from like Grand Blue Fantasy relink
or something like that no I get it it's still upsetting
You can understand why I'm not happy about it.
Because he looks cool.
I don't like that.
There's already too many fucking games that I would like to play.
And I can't... I have to remind... I haven't had a chance to play Grandblue in years.
I had a good time when I was playing Siegfried, but I'm pissed off that,
oh, I'm probably gonna want to try this. I have to relearn this fucking game.
At least to play it a little bit.
I have to relearn it to suck complete ass all over again
God damn it dude
If they just put some other the generic waifu in there and they're like cool
I'm sure Grandblue fans are very happy, but they had to put some edgy bitch with a big sword and I'm like god fucking damn it
God damn it. That's my shit
Son of a bitch every time
If he had a red scarf it'd be jover. I'd be committing
You should play really I did it's okay, it's not bad
Just kidding
people that get fun at me for that.
You might be using that monologue and it can't be fun at you, but
I can, and then you're not used to that fact.
Yes, exactly.
I'm getting hungry.
Damn.
The principal's still in pools.
This shit is so much fun, chat.
God damn it.
and announcements and stuff. Goddamn it is so much fun.
A reminder, I will be later today. I have the build for Kenshiro and Fiddle Fury.
So we're going to check that out. And I also have access to Universe and Immortal and Invincible Versus.
So at some point today, we have to spend like an hour at least with each one of the games to show that stuff off.
The devs are kind enough to give me builds for those.
So we got a few. We'll have to figure out some time for that, but we have a few.
I also re-rendered the Tocon matches, the Magneto matches that I had, and I gotta put them up
on YouTube.
I need to make a thumbnail for it though. Let me see if it came out good.
The framerate was pissing me off, and I was like, ah, something happened. I used
the wrong encode is this mad smooth now 1080 4k please are the dudes going over
tomorrow they should be here so yeah I got 4k token footage that was me and
devs playing first can you see if they're there man they're there yeah
That framerate's looking a lot better.
All right.
Did they do evo medals this year for top three?
Yes, they do that.
Are they just checking the parts that were shifted before?
You saw Thresh?
Oh, shit.
Someone's thrashing.
They're chunky medals.
This looks good.
So for everyone who doesn't know, our top six is actually not today.
Our top six is actually tomorrow.
Cool.
And I think we're on stage, right, Ben?
Thresh.
Thresh!
And then there's this fucking character
Who do you think has the best team in Tokon? It's Star Lord!
Star Lord and then Dr. Doom
And oh my god
Yeah, this is an incredibly difficult matchup for sage to
Teemo fresh is easily easily the worst matchup in the game
So he's has to navigate this really carefully right like if that is on screen. He has to tag out Teemo
That's it's crazy that Thresh can do back heavy and catch Teemo in his little shitty legs. I
love it
think
Switch so that the setup there is side switch big ghost throw lantern. They're stuck
They have to just eat shit. They can't do wake up attack or anything dude. It's hella good
I feel like I'm not here to like slander Timo
I'm just here to let everybody know that he's a piece of shit rabbit and he's gonna fucking die
Let's see trying to go to the avoidance now. Oh
Rather fight 100 TMOs or a hundred Arles I would get deep satisfaction
Out of taking out at least half those TMOs
had but having to fight a hundred Ari's would just make me not want to play the
game anymore at least at least eventually killing team would make me feel
good but having to fight against Ari is a lot
And we extend it
and we're building more
and we've got everything available, we're going to go to Auri
Yeah, it's going to become a giant missile
and that is game 1, 2 to kill Sage
Looking solid, a little bit rough in the first round
but cleaned up, AOK
First round would be difficult, but
it was just the first round for him to lock in
Yeah, I mean, it's a...
this is a very difficult matchup
for Sage's side of the playing field, right
like if Ari dies, it's almost GG's.
Teemo thrash is that that's full.
Looks like there's some controller stuff real quick.
Thankfully it happens between them.
Cat, if you're at Evo,
blessed moments.
One of our lead artists, let NBCIB,
is at Evo right now.
Guess what happens, happens.
And they are selling this print.
Let's go.
I
Selling this print of mbc ib at evo I retweeted it
So poster size right pretty sick
I think he's at boost if you're if you happen to be at evo or you know somebody that
all of this nonsense. Let me just get it okay though. Yeah. He's at booth A15. He's out.
Oh, not anymore. Yeah. I guess the combos disappeared. I think he said in a great
proportion. I retweeted it. You guys want to check it out? Extending. Extending once
again. What are we going for right now? Keeping you into the corner. Simply put. I just
want to lock you into the corner. I just had Kenny and Steve grab me one. What are
you pressing about them? That's not the right time. You're dead. What are you
gonna do you know you just had to wait for the bush block timing and when you're
under freestyle pressure like that it's not really a great time to do anything
you kind of just have to hold the 50s in the corner the answer is just don't
get there to begin with sometimes you can't avoid it but a lanterns coming and
sneaking up on him forces the kill stage to retreat all with the bush
teleporter that's cute but I have to eventually deal with this big fucking
mushroom place seven episodes ago check off gun
7 don't ever see team fight after the huge ass nerf
That shit bums me out dude. I do not like the idea that Twitter is balancing fighting games nowadays
of all places
didn't even have an opportunity to get counter play
not even a chance to figure out counter play for it
yeah it was good yeah no guess guess who also would have been nerfed into the
fucking ground based on Twitter feedback
which is why you have to appreciate what Street Fighter is doing
ignoring social media is ingrid
if Street Fighter for example was paying attention to Twitter feedback
and listening to people on Twitter, then Ingrid would have been nerfed into the ground.
And now, later revealed, oh, she's pretty good. Is she god tiered?
Does she do some of the most damage? Yeah, but she's actually only pretty good.
Imagine if she got nerfed into the ground. Imagine.
Vibes balancing. It is to a certain degree.
Yeah, I get unblockables and 50 escapeable block strings don't get me wrong that yeah, I get it
But at the same point
Things seem really good in the first like little bit
I just all I wanted to see was this game get a fuse that's actually as good as freestyle
Don't know what that was something that maybe competes with it, you know just maybe
Also games like I've been here before chat
Everyone complained about this in MVCI where they're like oh there's block strings forever and stuff like that
Like there's this shit that you just block forever and it's even with push block
There's like push block negation through this stuff, but guess what like over time
People found out that there was a proration to that
so if you blocked too much it eventually helped you out and people just like
ignored that shit and it was like oh even though the game was providing
counterplay it's like dude come on
if it all I have to say on those situations is if the devs fucked up let
them fuck up let them fuck up and have one tournament where it's bad just one
And then be like all right, so this baby way too good if every single person and their mother was using it and everybody stopped using
You know the main fuses then yeah, let's let's let them learn let them figure it out
Now it's gone to being something that I
Have never seen a person use it like I've been watching a lot of streams and shit
Especially for 2xk a way more than ever before and I would not even know if team fight was in the game
I wouldn't even know
They're gonna avoid a bodily right situation right but at the same point
What did that do to Tekken 7 the Tekken 7 end up becoming one of like the most
Disrespected and
Competitively unviable games. No, they fixed it and it was fine
That was a beautiful grab to...
It wasn't like it killed Tekken 7. It was a weird month.
That's it! It was a weird month.
Beautiful punish of the step.
He really whips, so he tried to look for the horizontal.
Alright, K&R is getting going really hard on making sure that these people can't look.
Anyway, I'm not a dev. I'm just saying.
It's very beautiful.
I hate it when social media is an influence. I fucking hate it.
I think legit criticisms are one thing, but...
Hot takes on Twitter are the most valueless thing in fucking the human communication.
Nobody can make it.
You know what you should do?
You know what they should do?
I think devs should accept letters, right?
I think the only way devs should pay attention to stuff is that you have to get out a fucking
pen, right?
You have to get a pen and you have to find paper, okay?
And you have to write out on pen and paper how you feel.
See how much you actually give a shit.
You gotta write this shit out.
And then you have to like write from who it's from
and then write it on an envelope and write it out
and then buy a stamp and put the stamp on it,
write your address so they can come back to you.
You have to go through a process.
Like, you can't just have the most valueless thing
of just like typing shit on your phone
and being like, I'm really serious about this.
Like, no, you had to walk to a mailbox motherfucker.
Like, let's just get you to actually commit a little bit.
So how much do you care?
How much do you actually care?
How many people actually care?
And if it's like, oh, a lot of people wrote in
and they really hate team fight, then yeah.
I would say then there's some validity here.
Like give people just an opportunity to sit
and realize why they're mad, to just sleep on it.
Like, it'd be insane if people just slept on.
I'm also guilty of this.
Just sleep on it, dude.
Wake up the next day and think about how much this matters, or how crazy it is.
But you should listen to anybody at all as a creative? No!
No! Hell no!
What the fuck is- What the fuck?!
Creative people should only be responding to feedback.
HELL NO!
Let them fuck up!
Like let them!
Like the response is one thing.
Do you choose to respond, right?
That's one thing.
HELL NO, dude!
That is literally the op- you're listening- a creative listening to uncreative people
give them advice?
No.
What is that?
No.
And also it's like I get it you want them to do well. Yeah, there could also be like productive criticism
But like just just going based on vibes and hot takes man. I don't know dude. I don't know
That's how you get like games made by CEOs and shit or movies and shit made by CEOs
They're trying to appease to everybody so nobody likes it
Wow, right wow for soul Calvary six and thank you. That's my own personal take on that
Yeah, I mean we're still and you know what and sometimes like I said the same shit about like token for example
This is why you so much for you this is why even something like a survey right a
Survey you at least got to come in you know you got to go in you have to fit you have to read all the fucking questions
You got to enter shit
You can make shit up and across the board, but not most people won't, but at least in
a survey, you have to commit yourself and log into an account or some shit, right?
There has to be a minute amount of effort other than only, you know, only like just
screaming into a social media bubble.
So the little bit of investment is valuable.
And as an example in like the token situation where it's like, I wasn't having that
much fun with this game, but this might be the game they want to make.
My my criticism should not change what it is, you know, it shouldn't it depends on what they want to make and
If this is what they want, then yeah cool, then it's just not for me completely fine
However them
Accepting feedback like an opening surveys and oh god and all that kind of shit means that they are
They're thinking about it. They're like, oh, hmm
I wonder I wonder if this isn't hitting the way we want and sometimes yeah in those situations input can be valuable
And if everybody's saying the same shit where it's like uh game not that fun
Game isn't that fun
Something's happening. We can't people have a bad time of understanding why it's not fun, but
Like if they're willing to take feedback and people are willing to spend their time then they give a shit
Anyway
Letters that's all I got to say
if you want to take a balancing feedback from people I think devs should not take
any social media presence in terms of how games should be balanced I think they
should require people to write out letters suddenly this is very winnable
has to get your fury but maybe they don't want to spend it we'll see you have
to put something in an envelope and put it in the mail
Also Chad, I think I looked this up. Somebody told me that this was this way for Fumitsu
Or Fumitsu was like gauging the most anticipated games most influential games like best games of all time in Japan type of stuff
And gankies been posting them and people are like it's based on
5,000
5,000 entrance right where there's 5,000 people that gave their opinion and sent it to Fumitsu
however from what I
I thought it worked this way and people said that yeah
This is the case that the only way to get that data is that people actually need to write something out
They need to like send in a letter or some shit because Japan still does that
Harada talked about this several times where it's like
Like when we get letters we read those way more than anything else
So he posted this thing talking about from it to
discussing, like, from their survey of 5400 people, the most, like, influential, most popular games of all time and shit,
and from 5400 people that sent in a letter, this was the response.
Top 10 is the first DQ.
Final Fantasy VII, DQ III, Pokemon Red and Green, Dragon Quest V, DQ's pretty big in Japan.
Final Fantasy X, Chrono Trigger, Mario Brothers, Kingdom Hearts and Resident Evil.
Somehow, Street Fighter 2 is down here. Sonic doesn't even make it.
Fantasy Star Online edges out number 24.
That's crazy. It's a lot of unq responses, you know?
It's what it is. This seems like it's a demographic of people that are, like, a bit older
and want to have the ability to have, like, their opinion mean something,
and they, like, would be willing to send in letters and shit, which is why...
Yeah, Breath of the Wilds at 19
Breath of the Wilds at fucking number 19. Holy shit
That's crazy
That's crazy, bro. Xenogears makes it to 11. Holy shit
FF11 squeezes out Metal Gear Solid is a bonkers shit. That's some bonkers shit
It's also much harder to manipulate this, you know
Where it's like, oh, I'm just gonna make a ton of accounts and tell everybody in the world that Regina is actually more popular than Chun-Li
No, no, no, you can't really do that. Like this is much harder
So if you want to if you want to like send in a billion letters saying DQ one is the best thing ever
You could but that's gonna take you a lot of
It's gonna take a lot of resolve, bro
So the fact that there's like a paper ballot in some way means that oh you had to put an effort, you know
So what do people actually think when you can't really like manipulate this shit? What happens?
That Regina thing still blows by fucking mind chat. I'll always make fun of it
According chat according to a capcom. Oh fuck. I'm gonna shut the fuck up. Hold on
No one's talking about that capcom pole nightmares on screen shut up chat shut your bitch asses
your buttons don't come out when they want to dude so yeah oh beautiful that was a wrist though
oh no dropping the focus i want to see nightmare get on this goddamn horse his horse is amazing
yeah dude i have like combo i love the aga corner combos oh check me nope not dead yet though
oh you don't block low that mix is so scary oh wait you can only do the checkmate out of
soul charge right because you have to you use the two things okay this is my favorite version
of nightmare outside of so Calibur to god damn all right and you give me fucking
that's the green pink poppy pink poppy's what would you do like that yeah you get out of it
really well but nightmare is too far very scary all right get the tech drop beautiful
oh what are you talking about they nerfed it too all right good get out of there stop
him from uh talking to that all right all right yeah all right
Oh boy, you're dead. Oh
Yeah, this this nightmare is mostly like like so calibur one night
That was the cool thing about so Calibur six is that it was it was mostly a so Calibur one retread was like retelling holy shit
Who is it? Well, this is not on my bingo car, bro
I know like he hasn't been playing in a while, but like this is my king bro
This is this is over six is cool to me because it
Is like a retelling of so Calibur one like other timelines so Calibur one shit
So a lot of the character designs just feel like modernized versions of like so Calibur one Helik and sacred and nightmare and that's for you
You know that shit
And you want speed why are we at a thousand and eighty Yoshi mitzuz also the one?
That is a little bit different looking sitting duck, but nightmare like a lot of them are very close to their silk over one versions
What a guy she's the least we broke a thousand on the matriarch for s e six. What the heck I know
Our souls still burn dude. Oh, yeah, the way I was 75 bucks. I think I do if he wins
Hold on. Let it let it rock. He's got a win
Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right
So cover six the K2 13 in the series, it's the second best selling one
Or third best, I think it's the third best soul caliber game
We have so caliber two so caliber one and then so caliber six
at launch so Calibur six had a lot of problems don't get me wrong at launch but
they okabose on fix that shit
You look at how much stick and how much butter he's got keep it. So what's that where it feels like it?
He's not safe though. I mean cross
That one buffed out is stupid
AGA this ass
He's on the cusp of a massive upset
Another hundred bucks I think right if he wins this shit
He's gonna have Yoshimitsu's got a soul charge give them the fuck off you dude
Oh
I don't want to overrate this like
Signia was literally like our best player in SoCal. He's taking a break for quite some time.
Focus on Virtua Fighter. He is a confident 3D fighter.
That was so fucking cool.
So did anybody have the mastery? No Link? If you can do me a huge favor, just paste it into one of my chats.
Signia was like in a different class.
Like a different class.
I was literally saying if Nightmare or Siegfried show up, I'll put in another 500 bucks.
And if they win, thank you GD.
And he does his own weird ass way, bro. He just went plus-plus.
Well, but he had so much he had a lot of good neutral. I don't know. He's
Well, I love it so much when we watch these and so Calibur six side tournaments are so sick
Holy crap was wild. Oh, that's amazing. I gotta go games
Sorry, we just call calling people up come on. He's got to play too because
I'm so fucking cool
So Calibur seven announcement chat just because people are excited for an old dead game
Does that mean there's a new game coming out this turn out and we'd like that
How did this turn out? Why you know normally I might be pretty salty on the side tournaments on the best part of the evo
Who loses this gonna be way more subtle? Oh, I know I know what you mean. Thank you for the other hundred dollars. Thanks, dude
Thank you, Max. I hope you're truly enjoying this
What the hell
This is bonkers
What the hell?
$500 and another hunt, thank you!
We are at $1691.
$1691 for Soul Calibur 6 in Evo 2026.
What?
That is a lot of money.
I kind of want to have to...
Everyone's game just shoots through the roof.
That is life changing money right there.
there okay yeah yeah well it's split between top eight well yeah it's 30% of
a thousand six thousand seven hundred it's still a lot of money yeah that will
more than five for your trip that match might have been my favorite match so far
well not how we see nightmare doing that good the food is something I know but
like for you as your as a single person coming here to eat on your
trip yeah yeah you win your trip here yes crazy thank you so much everyone
Not only for the big contributors for those who support us you guys who are doing all those codes

You can contribute to the prize pool in small increments like 25 cents by doing things like by like watching ads
So if you want to in any of these side tournaments where there's a maturino just just an
Educate everybody you can contribute without without like spending money out of your pocket
This game is six bucks on steam right now is that an empty sale
My god
this shit is six dollars the deluxe edition is 15 bucks just saying chat
oh they're just like the back of way just saying very big map so you can do it
six dollar game oh shit summer sale yeah good job there oh my god
all right so go for a plus two mixup right there yeah oh beautiful yeah big
problem the netcode was good yeah you know I won't defend every part of this
This game is for sure. Playing it online does kind of suck.
First axelow we've seen. We're currently at 1720. Thank you everyone.
Now we continue. So this is the second axelow that you've had.
This game I took out with a lot of single player. It's got a pretty decent amount.
And it's got a great character creator as well.
Just don't be like, oh I'm gonna be able to jump online and fight a whole bunch of people.
That will be hard.
This game has old Bandai and Nettcode and has no cross play and shit.
But for just like fighting friends, if not finding somebody to play online, you could
get a good connection.
There's also a lot of stuff to do.
So far it's everyone.
They hooked a lot.
Okay.
Slow.
I feel like BPC has to be a little bit more active at range 0, otherwise you just kind
of get risks getting accidentally.
True.
But like at range 1 to 3, BPC will always have to pull.
Yes.
So it's like...
Unless the boys want a brawl.
Because right now, Karma is winning the brawl, like up close brawl game, but as long as
BPC is just gonna...
But Big is coming back.
So...
He was coming back in the previous two rounds to just take the round, right?
I think if you just need to take a step back, let the opponent, let the opponent hang himself.
Yeah, like that, yeah. That would have been a good one, but it was a little too slow in his end.
Right, couldn't get the Whiff Punnish.
So that was a good, uh, legal hit on...
Beautiful Whiff Punnish. Alright, is this how we get started? Are we getting some Yas?
Yeah, okay.
Always trying to bait out a GI.
Someone tries to get out, so we said, oh, we're mostly...
Like that, Chen.
Spin, spin, spin.
Guys, plus two, nothing too bad.
So cover six unfortunately is a part of that game
You can play it online, but it's like it's rocket
That's crazy that gives a wall spot
We're close enough, we were close enough.
Yeah, that's my 12th.
Oh.
I think, uh...
Oh, no, Rod, bro.
I thought it was my 8th.
Yeah.
I think they get something for the 8th.
When's the last time you had the dude's fight till caliber 6?
Okay.
Um, we did a little while ago.
I would love to play it again.
Could've converted.
Well, I think he tried to do a small attack, right?
No, you get the wall combo there.
Oh, yeah, the 3A plus B?
Yeah.
Or 6B plus B.
All right.
Tom, I says get off me.
I think a Whiff Clunters CE.
Yeah, get off me.
Whoa!
I think a Whiff Clunters CE.
with currency
Nice
What a good call god damn GI bait GI walk around into critical art what the hell
Well, thank you for your $50 contribution.
Oh my god.
Dude, people are standing up for Soulcounter 6.
My soul still burns.
Dude, look at that pot.
Oh my gosh.
My soul still burns.
You know what I'm going to do?
All right.
Let's go ahead and hit it here.
All right.
Go back here.
Okay.
All right.
Copy what you're going to do.
I'm not going to work out.
I think maybe people will work comfortable brawling you
now.
Okay.
Just like that.
Okay, my whole ass my whole ass is being committed
Okay
Bring back Soul Calibur next campaign. I mean...
It's the only other game that I want to come back, you know?
Outside that I haven't, like, directly championed too much. I just support it.
I think they know. I think something's happening with Soul Calibur as well.
I think something's actually happening.
I want Soul Calibur 6 to get good netcode dude.
Alright Bandai Namco though.
Well I mean to be completely honest Soul Calibur has always been a Bandai Namco franchise.
Harada's talked about this a few times.
where it's like he's helped them but Tekken was a part of like Tekken project which was very separate from Bandai Namco
and Soul Calibur has always been the main hero Bandai Namco fighter, right?
So, he wasn't a Soul Calibur champion, they were like competitors, you know?
Thank you for your $20.
All right.
Thank you for everyone who's putting into the store.
Dude, he tried to get his spade.
He got smacked in the face, and now he got thrown.
Now he's getting hit.
So a lot of the people that made Soul Calibur,
Soul Calibur, are still around.
Anything?
All right.
Thanks for trying this on this final round to win.
Oh, good block.
You know what?
You know what would be actually the hell is smart?
You make Soul Calibur 7.
All right.
What is it going to do next?
Nintendo switch to exclusive game. You just do. You get with Nintendo, you get them to help out,
and you get characters like Link and Fire Emblem characters in it as well.
Like you literally return to that shit.
Because the problem is is that getting this game's approved budget in any way, it'll never exist on multiple consoles ever again.
That's the problem, Chad.
It'll never exist by itself again. You can't sell people on Soul Calibur by itself.
The best thing we could get is like a re-release of some of the older games and that's kind of happening right now.
Again, a reminder, I prefer a game to exist than no game at all.
You mean getting rollback when it's into ever?
That's not true. Bandai Namco helped out on arms and shit, and that had um, that had decent that good.
Beautiful and big. Another $50.
What about legs?
Arms has a
Version of rollback. Yeah, it does and B&E was also I think an assisting devil
Thank you
See, yeah, I see crimson man has donated nine. I don't know who I don't know
Yeah, he's a chat. He's the biggest chat right now. Holy moly 19
$1938 max. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, max was in 200 like much money and support. Yeah, I know right everyone's talking about me. All right
Yeah, and I know is a little bit of a lead down some
Literally, literally the box when they have a visual acid for stages fighters in arms
So they were working with them on it the pot is so big that
This is not the okay. This is actually one of the biggest
This is one of the three biggest, really, really big things.
Last year was like 3K, I was like, uh, uh, uh.
This is amazing.
Yeah, even with all of the...
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
Strive is going on.
Uh, let me see what's going on.
KI is being...
KI is KI-ing.
Uh...
Rivals,
principal versus pools,
Sun of the Wolves,
Uni, Uni's in top eight.
K-I's a charity tournament. Oh, shit.
Your face is over BBCF. Right.
I mean, I can't do anything about that.
I can make my face bigger. Here you go, chat.
shit, shit, there you go champ, um, you see it?
I don't see it, the empire savior is coming back, let's go to guilt a year, it was better
right? See this is nuts. I've never ever seen that before. I think it's the first time it's ever happened.
You can't believe we were here to witness it together.
Look at this.
It's crazy. It's insane.
You don't go any near, there's a virus in the text.
Please, can you just say no?
We're gonna jump there.
That's a couple.
He's in there.
He's in the clouds of the crowd.
So there's a lane.
Looking for it in this case.
Ooh, a clinical plane there for the danger.
Perfect confirm.
Everything going just as planned.
Little attempted street flight 30 with a good spacing back.
International white high.
Use the buffer too.
Wait for something.
I'll take a firm.
Did I see the Robert Kyle trailer? Yes! Yes, Robert Kyle is my favorite Guilty Gear character.
I've been a fan since Third Strike. Yes.
I love Robert Kyle so much. And his detachable brain. His detachable head.
Robert Kyle best Guilty Gear character.
Yeah
The detachable propeller had finally we're back
He's gonna drive me. I don't I legit don't have one dude. No shit
I was after I didn't like L felt in the latest season very much
I was like roaming the roster looking for any character. I really want to play. There's just nobody I want to play
weird
If anybody at that point said, insert character name with a question mark.
When I say nobody, I mean nobody, that no character I really wanted to play as.
Oh my god, and he's bitch-ass.
I like being surprised a lot when characters do shit for me and in games so I'm
I've never really liked Robocross in the other games at all he's too weird and
wacky who knows I'll try I'll try to see what he's like
I'm open to my mind changing, you know
I can become a Robert Kyle me knows
But Gero looked shook about that round for about 20 seconds for Matt.
I guess full mentality back in the way side here.
Okay, really big strategy.
No far go, no counter, no last E, but we have to keep it.
He's looking the overhead, there's a card.
Oh, Gero's looking to find it, and it feels like a line par, but there's the overhead.
Oh, and he's won the exit first!
That was so unfortunate the timing of the wall step.
We used it down to what could be the final round, zero.
Continuing to try and take the aggressive angles here.
Dash macro is off to his possible trines and smoked this space away.
HB, well he can!
But a perfect dance here to keep him contained.
Ooh, where are we going? Swim up and knock it off?
All aboard!
Ratsk!
Yup!
Okay, squeeze me!
We need a little more of that, though.
We need a little more of that to make this comeback.
Okay, bullsend to be a though.
Opportunity is looking good.
This game has more sauce than Granblue or Tokon?
I mean, yep!
Just in terms of interpretive what you can use mechanically at what time?
Yeah, it does.
The RC system in this is genuinely like a lot more interesting.
Um, I might disagree with you on Tokon, but I can't yet because the game's not out, but
based on what we've seen and what I've played, Tokon got a lot better.
Got a lot better.
If Tokon gets a beta, man, I'm really curious how people engage with that game now.
What's his name?
I believe it's Jason Johnny.
Fijirou Sinalyze.
Ava Atito.
Oh!
Oh, wow.
It's Jason Johnny, but it's me for victory!
Keishu!
Oh, wow.
You see the pair eating.
No, you have the resources debated.
Unbelievable play
to stifle the run from Jiro Keishu, man.
I think he knows what he's doing in this game.
I think she has a good idea of what needs to be done.
Like you said, the mental damage mitigation on terms of,
oh, what can I afford to take, and what can I not?
Yeah, keep throwing, keep throwing, keep throwing.
I'll take these single overheads. That's fine.
And yeah, paid off, and the nerves are still from both players there.
And I do think that that match didn't really turn Jiro's mind off.
He was still engaged in the match and not thinking,
oh my gosh, I should have had that round.
definitely agreed. We have to show the love, though. Jera with an
increase. So that's 1588 right now, I think. 1588 1588.
Yo, look at me doing math.
See, this is
thinking about what to get to eat. 33.
Oh, I'm going to go hunting. They know. All right. Thank you
everyone thank you manza for disconnecting the other controllers all right so pizza last night
seba see seba from belgium from belgium yes i made that a point yeah crimson manna 900 i know right

All right, we're about to get into it all meant has to do all
Fish tacos just went straight through and beat out 2k. I guess you have to donate
$995 and 38 cents
Thank you for everyone who's still good
Her plate rivals. I have not no that not play rivals. We are here to have fun
We're here to help support our community.
We're here to see some good-ass caliber.
In and out. In and out is challenging because there's no delivery in In and out at all.
They do zero delivery.
You have to go there.
We don't know who Manta is.
Manta is our Norakalf resident voldo player.
This is resident Manta player.
Just think, if you want to play fully on vibes, that's how you play.
That's that's advantage it works. It is look at that
Jump bro, I'm done, bro. I'm so done. All right. Thank you stuff over 20 dollars though. Okay. Yeah, that's good
Just hit him like a couple times.
Chad, look it's you.
It's you.
It's you in SoulCalibur form, isn't that crazy?
Hold those, it's just you guys.
That's the Chad.
You're doing pretty good so far.
I'm on the left.
That's fine as long as he's a yep just tempo, just tempo.
Oh, good try, good try.
Good GI.
He only gets an I-14 punish there.
Actually crazy.
Okay, good.
His counter hits are very strong.
Okay, trying to speed it up a little.
He's still plus.
Yep, he's half.
Nice.
There's an I-14.
It's so good.
Also, it tracks.
It's so crazy that it tracks.
That was a low.
Oh, minus 14.
Yeah, minus 14, yeah.
Good punish.
What the fuck?
Watching Bulldo.
This is Chad.
How many people here is this the first experience you've had with Bulldo?
Is this the first time you're seeing Bulldo?
This bitch has been around since like 1996.
Oh my god, this is from Soul Edge, my dude.
Oh!
That was...
That's a stupid...
This is from Soul Edge.
You should've...
Don't respect it unless you have to.
Right into those DMs, into the home, man.
Right in, right there.
Oh my goodness.
It's like a just frame home right there.
Ah, Steve's not trying to go go to character select.
Told you, it's you guys.
Alright, I feel like...
see which is us back away you can't you can back away because if you're far from
that mantis brawl stance you step around them what he approaches did you run away
again not always sometimes that that ball tracks tracks are yeah those are very
specific type of audience member very specific if you actually do block that
Thank you to eat
Both the players are currently very educated individuals
You have a little getting hungry
That's the real question.
I mean, in any case, Steve is gonna make him listen.
Well, the players are all very handsome.
Yeah, he's handsome.
That's what it is.
Good reset.
Yeah, when you don't have space, that's right.
The guys are the girls.
Everybody's very handsome.
You will lift less.
Yeah.
Oh, my God!
Don't ring out.
Nice kind of GI or DI.
Oh.
Yeah, when you get hit with that.
Nice
That's a bad ass lethal hit holy shit
When his CE is 12 frame
Yeah, but it's like 15 less damage. Yeah, it does 15 less, but it's a 12 frame move. Yeah, it's so very fast
It's so much room so much space to cover
crazy
What a GI
That was the 40est experience
No
That was wild. Oh my god
Horry low. We stepped at rank zero. We get hit. Oh, we got my low
He can't punish that. All I'm looking at is Waldo. I'm like Tira's in this match
Is he gonna try to see him?
Well has he tried super freaking?
That'd be kind of crazy if you did that.
I think Sierra hits it too many times.
Beautiful. Oh! The Horry mids.
Wow, he's in the air.
So, do that skill hard.
Alright, one low.
Oh! I did go low!
He blocked those!
Oh! The slow Horry mids.
He blocked those!
Oh!
Yeah, you're too slow, he says.
Gotta use it.
Good avoidance.
He's waiting for a whiff.
Beautiful low to catch it.
Yeah, up and over.
Get it out.
Yep, go down.
Oh, my god.
Oh, that's a crash.
Oh, we just go black.
We just go black.
Oh, no.
OTI.
Super good stuff.
Jump away and see if he comes in.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
He's partying too hard. He's getting hit now.
He's gonna roll. Check this out.
Wow! How did I know?
It's like I play him every week!
It's like I play him every week?
Now he's a top 8!
As they put Strive on, will I go check on the food situation?
I'll be right back to chat. Hold on.
that monster hitting out place out of that quick movement speed.
It was to abuse the fact that he already had a lot of time of games like
Existationary, Mistletoe, Turret, Unconstruct,
and a lot of players approaching him with it.
He even had the PRC there to reposition like that.
That's not a thing that normal characters do.
Yeah, 100% he's a music interest.
But when he pulls the top of the engine,
he'll take him on a damage.
Oh, my God.
The level 2 blocks of the big normal
is by the form of the speed to match him.
as Ty whines away in regard to Steve.
Because even there, one 5-8 lift,
TY steps exactly outside the range of 5-8,
and then the next interaction, he's completely on top of you,
preparing for the great fall-out, and a great bloodhub.
He's due at the follow-up to blood and Ty,
but it's not gonna matter.
We can stick just in time.
That was really cool as well.
Yes.
That's a speed carry.
So I hopped into the combo, I was like,
he's thinking about what Shruz can do.
I couldn't hear the coasting in Braggart.
I'm gonna give them a hit.
Heh.
I think I'm sorry.
Okay, she do follow up.
Doesn't get much more here.
Love the burst for momentum.
Keep that space in.
Keep that pressure.
Power spiral arrow.
Yes, they hit again with the heavy!
Great.
No one would have thought both players
would have paid attention from the front of them.
He's fine with the buzz in.
Go straight in.
Dash off the dust.
I do like to call those save your burst have the resource for the next one here.
Oh my god again that 2D.
Oh the fact that again, the bar is below the wall.
Train? How many of you have things that make you go take train by that?
A little more of the vibe here.
There's a switch. It's a more sliding scale. It's this mode, that mode. And you've got to keep up.
But DUI showing doesn't matter what mode you're on. If I'm so aggressive, you can't even think about it, sir.
Oh, my. Yeah, you got nothing. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Important.
Get the mark in the fight. That's why I heard back in the day, oh, what's he trying to do, sir?
Destroy Stripjump and rewrite his dream.
Oh, that's a big jump. Watch every turn of space.
The opportunity as we get the ball stick here.
Off the cup. Put your swing.
Ahhhhhhh! Send him home! That was a crazy one for Barrick! What a swing! Out of the park!
Hop into the nose, Beedle. And I'm still alive! I'm still alive! I'm still alive! I don't know if he wasn't gonna let that happen again.
I'm just gonna get him more active. T.Y. right now. They'll be going straight way towards the death.
Not letting a repeat of the last round happen.
Oh, there, T-S actually does a lot of T-Y.
Love to have T-Y. Great back dash!
He was so aware of the potential of the bite there.
Like you said, getting that blood back to me
is going to be a little more aggressive.
He's the key factor that we can change up here.
T-Y is recognizing and the apprafting
our defensive plan around that.
Super smart.
I mean, just great adjustment.
Oh, big ball over the 2S, and I'm
massive for one hit.
Oh, he's a full-splot.
I mean, he's actually massive, very good.
Yeah, you should throw now first on the table, both players stay here, trade, you get something like this.
So, where are you going? Release yourself from the spice and get spat down, son of a ground.
Bear eggs, turning it around, you're looking...peak.
Reveal your runs.
And what was that?
And that's he-what? Is it Slayer time?
That's such an uncomfortable place to burst into because there's a potential brim to just OGG 6H afterwards.
But it looks like a little bit of a stretch to Dan is it might just be the vampire's ball here in this top eight loser side action.
T why are you willing to risk it if you play Slayer and you win?
You were locked in. Can you take two in a row?
What is the half of safety you have to have with yourself?
T why says damn right I can't.
Well, well, well, I'm gonna pay on the Slayer.
The aggressive nature of both camps are very different.
Slayers are a lot more in terms of mixed left, right, high, low.
We did see that a little bit with the GO with the Blitzbark.
It was, like you said, more of a repositioning.
Not the transfer hat.
He wasn't ready for this game.
But like I said, Varix plays a little bit of Slayer.
He's a backfire punner, sir.
But can he deal with the dashes?
That's the question.
So far, the Pets have been immaculate here.
The perfect space around everything here.
Again, it's my age every single time you hit blocks, such a huge win!
Let me double up on the season 2, blood mobs, and one more time with B and Link in drops, but it's okay!
Smericks, you need to find enough resources bro, c'mon!
You knew me to farm B there to guarantee you a river farm kill, but no!
Oh, look at the range!
Slayer, no one coolness Slayer, right?
There we go, it's Slayer the Cooler.
Oh, you're quick, Danny!
You know what I'm talking about?
If you want to try to even go first,
know what the soundbong will do
without pulling your body.
Oh, Danny.
You're working the news out of the way,
finding out the same side of the 2-0,
jumping firm, wanting to have you send weights.
Did he wait long enough?
He did!
Absolutely a great top T.Y.
Game sense on point.
It is able to even it up.
There's a makey see, the makey was good, when Slayer sawed, you said that you were ready.
Oh, but the sleep connection it takes.
That was a little bit messy here, I love how Varix is still trying to turn up the tempo!
The step back is huge!
Yeah, I like that DRC, don't mess about, you're gonna get used to Slayer, you're giving freedom to Frogo's hunches.
There's the slide, it's a punish, same side.
Watch for Varix, don't do that blocky, don't approach, there's the burst.
and pray into the sword you call Varix.
Dispatchin' these kinfolk vampires
only want to stay alive.
Oh, dude, it is a master class with a double 5H.
Incredible performance of Rumb Varix,
but with that, unfortunately, that is going to be the exit.
Please, give it up! The loser's run! Incredible! T.Y., everybody!
I have overrun an incredible performance, such a good story to see once again, but with that
Varix story continues another chance to put another title in the trophy case for himself.
And we'll see if he can keep that same energy that we see here in the replay presented
by PlayStation tournaments as in the early stages, you know, just kind of thrown off
this game a little bit it seems. Maybe that passive play just wasn't quite working out.
Realized you needed to be a little bit more in the driver's seat. Everything changed.
I'm just saying you can look where any bell you can see is visually the switch job
and the tempo that Berets likes to do, which we saw in the first game and it just wouldn't
work against you, right? T1, Identified, he's like, oh, there's always a net to do this.
And he's gonna go crazy. And that was the moment that you pointed out
proxy in terms of being that high in the sky, going to the burst, it's like yeah, first ability through the ability to hit you through the full stream, right?
Never used to be in that case. And you've got the idea of, well, I can't see you through the full stream, right?
The director's on the ground, he's like, but I don't think you're gonna let me land for free.
You're gonna do something, maybe jump, get ready for a 6p, and that's kind of the risk you take to be like, it's like a blind mix.
I don't know what you're doing, but I think you pressed something, so I'm gonna burst it.
Yeah, so he's probably crouching down there, but anything could be happening.
We could do anything.
That was a good answer back though as we are going to move into the bracket here.
Seeing it once again, Nitro and Red Ditto still sitting pretty in the winner's side
with a couple losers' matches still to catch up.
Chereo and Kei Shu, what the move.
It's both Kermit and Varix.
Some incredibly ridiculous matchups to come here.
It's going to be super, super sick to see it pop up.
I cannot wait to see these players, you know,
be able to battle it out in this loser side of the action here.
With that though, coming up next is going to be
the Chipotle Burrito Meter.
So, spam those custom Chipotle emotes in the chat
to fill up the Burrito Meter, to unlock Chipotle rewards.
And you know, you gotta get ready for it.
So, get ready by unlocking those custom emotes,
which is Evo Chip Plush and the Evo Burrito.
and I'm angry after that.
Yeah!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
But with that though, make sure you spam it enough.
Make sure we get that thing filled.
We are going to take a quick break.
And straight after that, it's going
to be even more guilty gear strive actions.
So don't go anywhere guilty gear strive,
but we'll be back in just a moment.
Oh, man.
give him you a long age.
Yes.
This guy lied to me for 15 years.
I didn't know his age.
That was like my first couple months in the world.
I guess it's weird for you to call me daddy.
That's very weird, Jack.
I need to be a little better.
I gotta avenge myself.
Top guys to make you happy, man.
Oh.
Use them Joey.
Use the Zenith.
They're built for blue light blockers
and correct lenses.
the basement proxy we put some losers matches to start commenting absolutely cannot wait to see
how the matches are going to go as you know we do have our bracket here to take a look before we do
get ourselves into these next ones as you said heading to the losers bracket first super excited
to see who can battle through is now it is going to be a chariot and case you what the move as
well as kermit and barracks still alive in this loser side there are two players in the
the winners Nitro and Red Ditto and two players familiar with the spot but willing to continue
to try and keep that momentum and continue the greatness on both sides.
It's going to be extremely hard to call. I'm sure we're going to have a lot of people
disagreeing and who's going to be a victor in that one. But like I said, that's a little
bit later on.
What a best chat.
Right here. Some dreams are going to be shared, unfortunately, but that is the nature
of the beast when it comes to tournaments, right?
Cheerio, you know, we have the gold, Lewis, me, for us, it's like, as long as you can get close, he can win.
Mr. Potley, but we've seen the determination to not be overwhelmed on K2 side with the Johnny in these risky points where you miss the burrito meter.
What the f...
If I didn't, I don't get to play the game. So I have to challenge. And we've seen other sort of escape options that K2's adopted and it is quite hard to space yourself with Johnny.
Oh did I leave and they went to commercial?
Dammit.
Well definitely great, we've got to be in medium punch range, we've got to be deep,
I definitely, I am.
Big ass 10, missed the real meter.
Hopefully, we'll see some of that action now, we're going to be leading straight into
the action here.
He's got to imagine if he could just follow the fighters down to wherever, oh nice
Yeah, actually that's a good choice because if you do monument she has a lot of high starters and hori to starters for those part
They go for a low two way. Oh my god, dude. He went for an I-16
I mean they negative 60 boob as well with that
Okay, here we go pop
That's for the mid nicks. He's going for this all goes with rope
And get the ball up and now damage
Kostle, cheeky low, catch and cannon are once again off, kills it a little bit.
If you can't tell I play a lot more of Ruff or Soul Calibur 3 and X6.
Yeah, of course.
Don't worry, I'm the opposite, so it works out.
How about that?
Alright.
Oh yeah!
So, Wingsall in this game does basically jump over highs, so feel good.
Like, proactive tool against people who want to be like cheeky at press animals.
Oh, okay. Nice. He's big races with
Backpairing. Wait, so you can like cancel a soul charge? Did he ult him on? Yes.
Yeah, so his stick is that he loses health, but he doesn't drain meter until he has zero health.
So that's why you want that to escape.
So, bro. I know you lost health, but I didn't know he did. Oh, nice step! Great defense. Oh, and he ate the meter? Oh, shit!
bro man dj is making some crazy risky well not okay that's that's safe on block but
in general the way he's displaying season exhibiting a couple moves that like signal
to most players that they're very you're playing kind of like a psycho like you're just like okay
i don't care you have to prove to me that you can block on it and start taking a dash that k and r is
four person i don't they say chat all right the time is coming so am i 16 this little low
Oh my god fuck want to go left, but you want to go right. Oh
CBM versus no be Jesus
Savage so we're gonna take that over 105 step in with the activation we got it
What the Hawkins
No, the CBM Hawkins on defense though
Man never did that shit. Yeah
And that's the use of Gen C second heat pass it adds as another combo extension
Let me see what Jin combos look like now.
Even though it doesn't wall slide on normal hit anymore.
Three touch round.
Ooh, that was a normal hit, what a counter.
We'll push to Send low.
Limit entry low.
Yeah, we're just tacking on the lows now.
Both sides.
And some damage on the table.
Jin with the follow-up and the...
Try to just respect the hot kick again.
Ooh, down.
Shushine his ass.
He's acting as ankles, bruh.
Finally, just to go for the mid splat homing option.
Nobby able to get the ground and the return at the wall there.
Whoa! Ow!
These hookfists placements have been... Man, CDM, game 2, game 3.
All hookfists.
What a kill for those Avenom.
Such a blast, Doc.
Back into the follow-up.
Now we go Nobby here with me.
Wow!
What a duck.
Diving strikes, Delta Slicer will be parrying!
You cannot heat-dash this because I can parry it.
Oh, the delay on the watch...
While standing 4 is the punish.
Oh, nice box.
Good interlock.
Into the low check, after the gap punish.
Eight.
Gap punish below again.
First activation, no B where you going.
Oh my god!
I have a blast with the mid follow-up!
Bro, and we got a double an itchy!
Nice punish.
Down 4-2 into follow-up interrupted.
We're not airborne.
Got a trouble though.
Oh, he's real high.
She danced back against the wall.
Oh my, oh okay.
Oh, wow.
Oh my God, the elbow.
It's still 10.
15 seconds left.
Oh, let's go.
Parallel to the wall two.
Has rage.
He's just not burnt clock.
LORK low mix up, but no be immediate down Jack. So nobody proceeds in the round three on one side
CBM gonna be dropped down the losers the other end of the time
When we add in so calibur we're getting there
People are threshing nice go down each if the spacing is right
It's not perfect, but this will do you can level three here and kill any decides to this should be a dead arie
I think that you don't you're dead here. Yeah, this is a high damage level three
I'm a liar is what I would say
No shot. Oh no, oh no, that's worse
Can't I do go because he saw the threshold a bit to a
I was like, oh yeah, she can do that, that's right.
the other legion and ruffle wards
this is so far really good and we are setting up this ah look on version despite beating
to get a pataka of course came so it's immediate to get back on track with the
arry keeping some pressure on the koizine trying to 1v1 but arry floats
gets an opening for nothing
we're trying to force the thresh assists go so far yep back in the thresh
a
lot of interaction
I
Dressed died
Oh
The shield chip is absurd you have to dodge all of it
I have to play the loser of this if I win my next match interesting hello chat
we have to play a tall player next welcome to the stage of history I need to support
I need a support figure. Yes. Yes
Sakura Miko is here with us. It's the spirit of soccer. So how do I how do I successfully win in the tall matchup?
Yeah, just duck six eggs. I do see it. I do see it down there. We are witnessing it. Wow. Thank you Miko
It's just that easy. He's very helpful. Yeah, shout out to Sakura Miko the biggest whole Calvary six streamer in the world
I'm going to see a lot of AGA and I'm gonna see a lot of party.
Maybe ABA, maybe a night, what the?
Alright.
A lot of night care.
Terror Charge, KK, you know, yeah a lot of night care.
A lot of night care.
Grimstribe is what I was looking for.
A single slush.
A lot of Grimstribe.
Frozen air in two.
Alright.
They take up so much of the screen.
It's ridiculous.
Alright, look at it.
Look at it.
The nightmare begins.
We don't punish those, you can't hit them.
We hit them back.
Do the same thing.
Chad, I forgot, was there a way to make Soul Calibur 2 Nightmare in this?
The Siegfried one?
Yeah.
2k for your Troubles.
Oh my gosh.
You missed the payouts, FD.
They're just, they're really swinging.
There was, yeah.
Oh my god.
Just backhand.
I'll keep that.
Goddamn, so sick.
Oh my god, there's that hand, oh he's dead.
Goddamn, so sick.
Just eye sixteen in their face.
What's the worst thing that happened?
What's the best thing that happened?
You had to custom it, yeah.
I'm like remembering it was there.
The look, no no no, the look where it's like,
Siegfried, Siegfried's upper body, you know,
with like the arm that's all fucked up.
And then fuck, fuck, fuck, and then fuck.
Jesus Christ, so sick
Literal checkmate
The bitch is missing his pants
Oh boy!
I don't think he expected that.
Oh boy!
Blood, darkness, etc, etc.
Let's go.
Yeah, the armor break system is goofy.
Which is why eventually they fix it.
Or they're making an option.
But the armor break mechanic still happens.
You don't visually see the characters lose their pants
Thank Christ
I never do rate the super for this I'm pretty sure we did
OOOOOOOH!
Let me know if I didn't. That would be a good idea.
He did, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Doing an updated one might be a good idea because there was so much, uh, purpose that we're at it.
of the
old body of the auto pit
of the
old
life of the
They're sick for you
What oh
My gosh, he's getting
Oh my god, are you gonna go ring it out?
Holy shit!
Yeah, yeah, do that shit!
I'm just bringing it back, let's go!
I move back, I move back.
What does Bakugas have to say to that?
That was not the punish I wanted.
Yo, you hit this here in top eight, play better!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
It's back in the mouth!
Oh, it's just the reach!
No tech!
Perfect. Oh my god disrespect. All right
One and one the nightmare mirror is real
Three K's so good, I love that
on my side secret nightmares that's so correct
I said the soul edge the sword
I wish this game had rollback me too.
They say that's what I want.
Even if I want a new Soul Calibur, I just want this game to get better rollback.
The guys are protected. That's the US Air Force. Holy shit. Holy shit.
Holy shit
Another one good again, he did he did
Oh god, oh my god
What a god damn you can be
Holy shit, there's no way you're making this comeback. There's no way
Oh, he went for GI dude, he bet his entire ass. He bet his whole ass on the GI
Oh my god, the backhand.
He's zero.
It doesn't matter.
Ah!
Smack.
Ah, you don't need that.
Maybe it's a flip.
OK, OK, that's fine.
That's fine.
You're still here.
OK, he's got the block, so let's watch the damage.
OK, OK, OK.
Yeah!
OK.
Ah!
Smack him!
That's a lot of damage, brother.
That's it, I don't know why!
Oh my god, he got the, did he get the tech?
What the fuck?
No, our Cal baby!
Bacchadest tried to jump guessing a low and was hit by the mid
That's why Nive is crazy in this game. He's just big shit the character
Big shit and shit big
Whoa, oh man that was that was a slobbernocker and that was a close one
Oh man, yeah.
Dude was playing like Soul Edge took control of him.
If you didn't know.
But man, no, that was a pretty good interplay going back and forth at least.
And Potty was kind of sloppy on some of these challenges and these combos.
He knew the knowledge. He knew what Bakades was doing.
He just kept messing up.
And Bakades was showing a lot of the knowledge back.
That was working out.
All right, good to remember the decent good controllers finally.
Thanks.
I
Again use the metterino coats we got like 200 of them
Use those damn metterino coats, please there's like so many of them
I know there's a lot of money in the pot that you can make that go higher
Metterino is very nice to us and gave us a bunch of free coats to use so please I implore you
Drive is got to be halfway done through top eight, right?
I don't know what to do.
Is this still semis?
Is it Winnersville?
Right.
Oh, okay.
All right, yeah.
So coming up next, we're moving on to Winner's final of one of our two brackets.
Yeah, I want to turn to this in a second want to see who's up here first
Yeah
What's up, what's up everybody? I am back. I was just the nightmare player that uh, did some crazy shit, so
That was a pop-off
Wow, I just came back
Is that really the metrino? No way. It's real. It's real. Thank you. Thank you everyone for
your support for SoulCalv6. This is so important for us. This is so important for the community,
right? Not just this money, really. It really is just you being here with us to enjoy this
game, right? Watching it or even just understanding it or even this might be the first time you
you've seen it. It does not matter. You are important to us as a community and we welcome
you to enjoy our game however you wish. And yes, our game is not perfect. Is there
a perfect game? I mean, Super Mario Bros. is pretty good. But you know, thank you
everyone for helping make this real for us at SoCal Herb, BYC, BYOC at EVO 2026.
Let's check out Arslan, hold on.
low, they heat up up plus twos and then she gets the back turn pressure afterward.
He's dead in it. Here we go. Let's see. Now we've, yeah, we're starting to see a little bit more
wall standing too. Safe kind of hit launcher pressure now for Pena. We're not a little more
risky now at this game. Not a lot. I like working them one jab and then finding that back turn
strike with down back two. Low crouch mixed open, Arsenal in the ad, trade in his favor.
He's gonna pick this up, turn this into wall, turn this into activation, turn this into corner
potentially wow sound adjustment
try to see the step make sure you
just step off too far wow wall dog
need hook my k at the wall where we
go with it
flip over what you thought for heat
gas give or try raven I don't like
raven for the same reason I don't
like Kage and virtual fighter they're
fucking weird there's super weird
characters dude from like like they
look incredibly cool but they're
like from a gameplay perspective they're it's like Hayabusa and in BOA Hayabusa, Raven, and Kage all
have like weird isms to them because they're mega gimmicky like stance ninjas, you know?
it out. Otherwise I'm going back to it soon. Oh man, play blast at the wall. We're down
for Peña now. Go on life. Arson with the heat in his favor. Oh, deny the first. Go
for the arm and kick in. What a trade. Oh my check. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh, but
stuff factor didn't have the parry ready either. Chance though for Peña. Hide around.
I can't believe you just did raw dog chock room with the low five on Arson. That's
Like all these I don't think I get is giving a bitch they all do the same weird shit
In playstyle wait weird back turn into duck
They're all gonna do this and they're gonna go
They're gonna not face you, you know
Like Lars is the game
Lars is literally a ninja. He's a Swedish ninja. Why do you think I play him? What the hell?
He's a Swedish ninja that dabs
Like
You know like all I'm saying is that all these characters are sort of like derivative of kage. They're all kage likes
You know, oh my god
Crazy
I'll just say Kage anything else three or five now
Kage virtual fighter vf Kage virtual fighter two like that that play style
What's the payout yeah, let me do it
Yeah, so we have a balcony break. It's a little bit of a bigger stage as well. I feel like
Arson got a lot of the return on the wall overall to be honest with the last game but yeah,
maybe after the chikran fight, maybe he's had more mints, don't be scared, he can't block it all.
Chikran's like, you're crazy bro. You're crazy.
Activated the wall here from Arson Ash.
Yeah, it's covered for Chikran, I believe.
He plays so safe too, so it's like, bro, you're crazy.
right now with the bandage
neither about the good Lars fighting style dude Lars is the same shit but he
just spins
like he's the same dumb shit but he does
full twirls right like the difference between Kage and Raven and shit and like
Hayabusa
they do this shit to a back stance right
And then there's a lot of weird shit from back sense and Lars just spins they do 180s and Lars just does 360s
He's a Beyblade like he's still doing ninja shit. It's just at least you return back to neutral
So to answer your question why wouldn't I play Raven he seems like what I'd be into I'm like already playing the
The the coolest looking ninja character in the game in my opinion
Playing the guy with the goddamn back to the future shoes
That spins around and shit
This bitch has this this guy is back to the future shoes
Yeah, you just didn't want to bet it, you know.
Hard to call.
Oh, nice roll, mini with Punish.
Every bit of damage.
Like a real sweep.
Especially when it's permanent damage, like this.
No gray.
Back turn, one plus throw.
One plus two throw.
They got rid of Raven and gave it to Goonie.
Punish on slide.
Trying to work these back turns.
Quick sand, this time turn of reset pressure.
Orson adds with the wake up kick and gets out of dodge.
It's too scary to bet another one.
He's betting another bet! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
Yo, but that's set to a counter hit. He merely wanted the red one.
Think you like his playstyle? No, I'm not into old-school Kage Ninja stuff.
I'm not into that nearly as much. Like a Neo Ninja. Not so much. I like future Ninja shit.
This shows us why he's just so strong and dominant at evil, man.
I've said that for the longest time. I'm more I think like techno ninjas are make our way cooler
Striders shit exactly there's a reason why you just put a mask over lars and a scarf and this bitch
Just looks like strider
He felt the need to layer his offense in his mix-up options even even more
Yeah, so like it was already operating on my layer one or two
But once again, it got to like that second winner's final soul caliber
Yiltigir is in winners finals as well.
Damn. Bondage fight going down.
I think they're changing stages over and over again.
Final game.
Finally.
Final game, yeah.
This is an even bigger stage now, right?
It's probably in Ivy's favor, it's definitely.
Severin is bringing back Syrax, Sector, and Triborg.
Yeah, that's why I like why I like smoking MKX
Is the coolest ever ninja in the game
Why don't you play Yoshimitsu start right now go buy some caliber six do it. I dare you bitch. I dare you
Oh, he tried it again.
Oh, is he really that shipy?
Yeah, he's not.
No, not enough damage.
And good, oh, oh.
That would've Gied correctly, too.
Oh, good stab.
Good stab.
See, this is what we call post-KL combos.
What about Kunimitsu?
He loves those.
He's definitely loves those.
Oh, alright.
But they do
Nice arrow into the force block
Doing next how are you gonna get in? Oh my god
Wasn't a punnish either. That was just he stood up into it
Fucking a dude
It's just so weird rocker for scissors to look out for six. We have not seen a single reversal edge today
I don't think I've seen a single reversal edge in the entire evening of us watching this not one
And again reversal edge ended up being exactly what we thought it was gonna be which was like decent at the start and then bad later on
Nasa needs to come back
He needs to find a way to find a way to go back
Oh got me thank you
That's it
You missed you missed
That was a good call
What about Krimitsu?
Sore is a little less damn good.
If he hasn't made it to the end, you'll get the dashboard proxy.
But what does it matter when you get cornered by Ram?
The 5K, once again, claiming a victim.
There's only so much you can do right here.
You do so many dashboards, you're like,
you're gonna change it up, right?
And then they'll go, okay, here.
You've got a dashboard thing down, I'm gonna go corner.
And throw all of that, all of that pattern that you've identified.
What about Kunimitsu?
Freakin' loud dude.
that's what he's doing. He's always on point. No, he needs to beat. That's weird looking.
Cross up, he's blocked. Go for the low and then come third. There we go. Overthrive.
Nice. Okay, this is more wise, between blistering speed, to his name. And that's small support
of the 6-3. You can see even a brown star is trying to beat the aggressor. Trying
to beat one asking the question here. What a flash kick recognized in the spacing
with the warp.
Have to let him know.
It's a bad move.
Take that.
Wait up.
The first one, the other one, sort of right in the middle of the circle,
the 10-year-old mix.
Which side?
I didn't even see the unstances.
Oh my god.
Mia, what a kill.
An anime and one mix.
Take those angles.
I'm absolutely enchanted right now.
But that's what the king of the jungle does.
And that is, I'm glad you pointed that out too,
because that's the sign of good neos and spots like that
when they're moving that quick.
Wait, it's not even seen and flipped out of the stands being so fluid and in a lot of times
the players in the opposite game, but you're doing a guilty guarantee in a lot of times
when you see Leo's playing, you almost don't know the stance character.
It's just books so fluid how they're able to get in and out.
The forest, it connects.
Who's the commoment?
Six foot.
Who's the commoment?
10th move, five, the beginning space.
This is a Leo player?
If my Leo player...
I don't know, because if you'd frozen it right now, my channel would have been gone.
Oh my god.
Yes, I'm still a Leo player. I haven't played Leo since 2021, but yes, definitely. I'm definitely a Leo main.
Absolutely.
Ooh, wow, that converted. Holy shit.
This takes one video. That's all it takes takes one video
the
Oh
It's so crazy how soul charge just made its way into Tekken
In that nuts
Like soul charge is literally in Tekken
Oh my god
You like soul charge more than heat honestly
Well, I think it's because you have way more mobility in this game.
Way more defensive things you can do about it.
That's true, you also don't have access to it every single round.
You have to build meter.
He lost Peter for party though.
Oh, AJ!
Dude, okay, so...
Hey, Bustin' up's gonna do anything.
He cannot rely on Cosmic Embryo to projectile, to do anything in a matchup.
He's just running into his face and dunked on him, back to back to back to back.
Like, I could just, like, C6B, or like, C6A.
Yes, and then they're gonna...
I honestly think Talon might be an interesting choice here.
Talon might be better because if she gets close, she's way easier to keep Nymar in check as well.
Because his close range isn't the best, so Talon would shine better in there for sure.
Exactly, exactly.
So I think it's a good switch to go for Talon. I think it's a good choice.
Huh?
It's like chat.
Hey, you got a middle two, let's go.
Sorry.
This is a tower matchup because you are dealing with the little gorilla that yeah
She doesn't have any range, but up close same damage. Yeah, exactly. She's a monster close
And I'm always get her okie so good as well speaking of which oh we did
Perfect with her bus and not
I'm gonna just stick to you and can I very hard time getting her off
I'm gonna do so much damage
Okay
Good six gay good challenge
DJ's playing right of all year
Challenging well
Oh shit
Kick that
Kick that little girl into the river
And the weight there dude
Did it go too early?
Because if you think that does with
If you go too fast
Get 3k
9k
6bk
Ooh yeah
You gotta start your turn
If you have the hold back
got everything sitting
did six days
okay
fully under reversal
superman
so what a sequence
so with that
oh yeah so charge
get them all to you
oh shit
this is getting weird
he dropped it
Oh my god buddy on my match point here. Oh man a huge mistake for Buston nut. He absolutely
He's one of that pop, but looks like on the ground.
Can he keep up the mess?
Oh, he's killing himself.
Back turn.
Oh, shit, the cool throw.
Oh, he's going for the second.
He's going on the fools.
Soul charge.
Come on.
Oh, the parry.
Let's go.
Hotty taking one singular moment, a critical error,
and turning it into absolute route.
What a game.
Holy, beautiful stuff.
What a game.
Beautiful. Wow, that was the vibes right there. That's the power of the vibes player.
Just explosive counter-attack. Even when he was getting his ASCII back to back to back.
He was getting bullied. Big time, brother. Exactly. Man.
that you pointed out and bent on the five-inch a little bit.
Liberty's left the restaurant real fast.
There you go.
Get that cholesterol a little bit back down
so that you can see it more manageable.
Wow, so force you with the back of the hand.
Get next.
And now, Kirio's getting smell-blossom.
And this is the fast one.
He's going to take yours over, sir.
And I think he's going to get it.
This is looking like it's going to be very, very close.
Not close.
Oh, it is just enough pops up in the end.
It is exactly what the doctor ordered, or maybe not.
It's a good trade there to start though.
Momentum, the Invariant's favor gets the hit with the Beyblade.
The Lacing's a little bit.
It's a great timing on the 5H.
Oh, get down.
He looks like a person from side 5.
Look how much he's life-careers look like.
Get down to 5 first.
There we go.
She's in depth with that time.
Chance now has a security agent in the middle.
2H, 5H.
The coin flipper has to deal with...
TEARS!
Are devastating!
Chereo tries to make a read with the skyfish, it's not going to work!
You're going to get into a sword fight and settle down!
Who brings the soul to a gunfight?
Apparently very many wins somehow.
The quickest sword in the west.
Oh my god, but honestly the kind of matchup interaction that you identified is really
panning out hard here.
Wait a minute, are the twins playing Thresh and Jinx over here?
I'll watch that after this.
Oh, shit.
I don't think he's going to break it.
Yeah, it's not worth it.
There's no cash out in his favor.
There's an overhead door,
but then it gets to the rest of the trouble.
Oh!
Go Tencent!
Yeah, actually, I was going to say,
take a piece of it from the fallen bows here,
with no spending now.
Plenty of blood is to work with now.
Limit's open as we continue to get aggressive.
Not much time's left to do it here, though.
Here comes the drone as it pushes us farther away.
Chance now for Terrio.
Well, trade on the six feet.
Oh my gosh!
That's not acceptable, it's insane and I can see very much...
Oh, you like to see him block?
Okay, okay!
He was scared of the monster, he was stuck there, he was...
Yeah, he was scared of the monster.
Oh my God, 6-8, nice big normal buddy.
Straight away, swings him and he has plenty of security, but a back dash very effectively escapes the situation.
Wow, Terry wanted to get in.
Three hugs.
late about to have a sword that big in token
laid the background character in token apparently
it could be in it but the odds didn't go up
yeah people found him he's unlike one of the top of the stages at the night
time city stage
some like for a little bit of a slow down once again, Niterio does a snap behind the mix up here in that second game
We saw him he was so dissuaded from jumping all those successful full sense
He was able to get over five H's as soon as Varys was able to tune in and get active with that two H to stop it
Go to Thresh, hold on a second
You're gonna be able to defeat us with back to back air throws sending a message
Yeah, you see a lot, Hakari doesn't want to deal with the super assistant Vicks with our most commercial
So he's taking the side and putting himself so high
Just so you can throw kunan, but that's why he's all over with the airport. So beautiful. Wait a second
We see Hukari come back to this but he's had good start. It's not watching invincible versus bitch. It's pool play
It's invincible versus pool play. We'll wait
Again, we're right where you guys set up the jinx stuff.
Going ghost.
The spirit coming, by the way.
The ghost is here.
Ghost, bro.
No, so much.
Supposed to go to full charge.
Yo, beautiful stuff right there.
Get the tag.
Only your jinx though cannot actually hit the point
cable being thrushed.
Oh, no.
He's backing up.
You can see, yeah, I don't know, man.
Hikari's looking a little nervous around the lantern.
Not exactly sure how to go about the neutral once it's
out.
And that's why I said you could tag in your other party
at the same time.
Next year we can have Avatar, Tocan, and maybe even virtual fighter, depending on how things go.
right now.
Thanks for now.
I have the SuperSins coming through.
No, no block of air.
Delays.
Oh, that's a little bit cool.
Yeah, he's waiting on the kunai to come out,
but now he's not throwing the mouse.
It's not possible that he's going slow.
That was so smart.
Yeah, exactly.
Lock him down with the Aria assist right there.
Go low.
Not play into the hand that the twins are looking for.
Very great adjustments to Makari.
It looked like that round was going to get away from him.
Composure of a champion to get to level three
and put a round on the board.
All right, so that's a good thing about it.
McCurry still trying to process as much as possible.
But as you said, the process speed right there,
you know, he's fighting against two brains.
Oh, 100%.
Oh, man, it's not the latest way where it comes to the tech.
That's right there.
Oh, my god.
He thought he made it over, but not quite.
Man, yeah, and the quick cancel as well on the precious
is kind of manipulating the opponent.
It was a good try.
Wait, wait, wait, huge.
There was a possible, I like it, squeeze it.
I can't believe it's still going, bruh.
I'm just trying to be in here.
Oh, God, I'm still surprised.
I would have been on that back.
Yo, you hit the wrong side.
That was not the time to press too well.
That's gonna be a dead jinx.
Hakari answering back.
Hold on.
I'm taking the jinx off the table as well.
I didn't like her very much.
Especially my favorite character by a lot, yes.
I'm so happy that Thresh is actually good, too.
He's not dominating the game right now.
He's not dominating the game, but holy shit, he's actually good.
I
Haven't seen street fighter in a bit
I got three medals. I got four
medals. You're dead on the next
one. Yeah, baby. Yeah, you're
dead. And I got five. And I got
five. Thank you. I'm taking you
to the podium. Take you to the
podium. That's right. That's
right.
Bar-knuckle.
Okay. The item smells
But he sees it that the dry gauges low so he's going to advance forward those big but that round house. Yeah, bro
She's got a great round
No, but no jumping definitely would have to hit scoop up
Oh
Not a game
You're 1000% holding up you want thousands of
You're crazy. They're crazy. They do Chris wanted a beast dog because I'm telling you right now
I'm in fear for my life. I sold my house holding up in the corner
Ha ha came home nothing came home nothing what happened to our home and look I was holding up
What does that mean dad look? I didn't want to get
Where are my toys I was holding up I'm sorry
Let's go okay item
That's a good start
You don't want her to get better so you got to hit her first and now she got three you had what 45% of your life on
You better hope she don't get another though
Yes, sir like I said about space traffic and I don't explain solid right here good neutral control and Chris
Wanda's like either one of the new to the most of the time considering his final
Look at clean for the boy I don't right now
I
Got yeah
Yeah, how are you confirmed? Yes, it's locked in that's full medallion Steve. It's about to get ugly here
Oh, they stand in pain interaction
I'm just gonna spend it
Yes, sir, that should be the finish survey says hell yeah
Oh
No round brown I believe
Shut up. I'm a man poke chop
That was oh
Boy
That's a free damage that's how your elbow. Oh shoot man. These guys are playing the most massive Calvary
I
Acer trash talk
You break your phone is mental just scream a scream
Game is this is so caliber six it's six dollars on steam right now
Letting you know
Oh, this might be the fastest game of all time. Yeah
What will say
To a you know, you know
Okay, I'm doing about the parents or no, it's a 3k. Hey
Be dude
boom
Crazy collection. I believe I was no pressure. Okay. Well, I think that's your one
Oh
Yeah
Nowhere
Okay
Did he press no he didn't
Oh the man just coming
Oh god, he's totally dead
He looks like he's shot
Oh damn what a good combo
Bucket ass alright
The boomerang shit talk coming back in the other game
Don't talk too much shit now
Yeah, okay, why is he being it to you?
How long has he been into you?
What's he called?
Okay.
Good interupt with 6BB.
Nice 2A, good challenge.
That's how you beat Nymer.
Oh no!
Oh my god.
Ground again with the forfeit.
God damn!
He's ducking into these mids.
All I could do is this.
Hey Jay, nice!
He's looked sweet.
Double Killers, Double Killers.
Demon to leak shit.
Is it going for the red?
Oh, bro.
Do it again!
Mid, mid, mid!
Back again!
He don't believe me.
Nothing.
He's popping off.
Popping up already a bit too soon.
You haven't won the game yet.
Yeah.
Jerry's very good in this.
He's very good.
Put it on the screen, let's stop for this game.
Okay.
Now, though.
Most of the fighting games I really enjoy playing, I just play the games and
I don't do any single player stuff.
Is this the same?
Hell no.
Hell no the most of the fighting games I really enjoy playing I just play the games and I don't do any single-player stuff
Hell no
One that I have really fun with I just engage with them
So much by just playing it, but if we get that it has single-player content
One eight doesn't break
You know he's supplying good pressure here
Hey Boggadess.
Oh my god.
Man, zero for zero fireball.
Okay, kind of middling punish though. Nothing crazy.
Go through the mix up.
Get back on the AGA.
Up through the punish.
Go through the low. On A.
Triple A. On the project.
Oh!
Back again.
One A. Yeah.
One A again. Okay, go through six speed.
Missed the AK.
Goddamn.
One mix.
The mix might be dead, no.
Soul attack.
Holy steppix.
Oh, he might be dead.
I cannot believe that wasn't punishable.
Holy moly.
I cannot believe it.
Holy moly.
Hey, AD, you want to be beautiful.
All right, nice goal.
I like that.
and get into the wall. Try to go for the next one. Close. Oh, no punning. Three interrupts.
Oh, beautiful stuff. This is going to look like a perfect. Damn. Alright, you know, momentum
all the way. Right there, baby. Six-a. Yeah. Oh, nice step. Again, no punish. He needs
have conviction with this oh my god what a counter play holy shit
boggadess in the driver's seat all the crap the side steps oh man can Nemo's
hubris is coming back to bite him he's playing massive instead of maybe slowing
the game down a little bit he's got the lead you can play with it
minus 16 oh oh the seats
okay goody
hits the low
ohhh
dvd
3k
spokes
k again
soul charge up closer to get to the wall
what is he doing?
getting 2 bars too
yeah go on
bomb 1 and return
okay text out
big drill
yeah
what?
of the
day of the
dead. That's me. Because we don't know. Oh, holy shit, the
football breaks the curse. Look at him. He's not even a
camera anymore. Let's go. I've never seen anybody pop up so
hard for beating. I've never seen anybody in this he's
Finally escaped ninth place at EVO
He's actually getting ninth for so long and finally
My food order got cancelled I gotta go over again
He was charging from yesterday, you can use that net, it's coming!
In and out, that's a good place to be, I might have to check out a lot of him there.
Oh, he was charging from yesterday, you can use that net, it's coming!
In and out, that's a good place to be, I might have to check out a lot of him there.
Oh, he was charging from yesterday, he knew that gap was coming.
In and out.
That's a good place to get a lot of check out water in there.
Obviously a larger dude with the back says.
The second you win there, you're able to close this.
It's a beautiful choice once again.
Follow through.
It doesn't cancel.
The bar slash follow up goes to the Shizu.
Finds the secondary hit.
It keeps the pressure up.
This tap.
Oh, yes, honey.
That breaks a little bit too close.
So they can meet back to the S-Boom game.
yet and very good I want to win for it and it's been punished only with the six
hey so rare to see from a Leo and they get very small scared to press a button
hold one you tear the RC forward she just follows through you don't care you
don't care full send follows up with the normal around a piece of Varix a game
and around halfway to victory.
Oh!
Let that sink in.
That was like crazy in and out.
Once again, turn up.
I don't have a mic on.
Do you mind what you're talking about?
Oh, I came with money.
And reverse from very,
at least I could have done a smoothie.
The FD was so crucial,
making that bang with.
But what was it all for?
It doesn't matter,
because very fast enough,
I make it.
Send in Nigra through the glass.
The little girl does have burst.
There is the gold one.
Don't get punished.
Blank it.
Are we going to recede the reverse comeback?
I have a big chance here.
You still have the meter.
You cannot block situations like that though.
You have to play again.
This is perfection.
Demanded!
The step back.
The table's just barely a void.
Bullet pops!
Varix over presses!
He back touches twice!
And now to the big stuff!
But he wakes up in the throw!
How in the world do you have the composure
to be ready for a situation like that?
Varix is not human!
He is too chill.
is to chill. Most people are panicking. I mean, it took a lot of time, right?
Yeah. Doesn't mean he just goes Marshal.
Right? He's like, he posed there, and it happened, and he's still identified.
Okay. I know my, my news condition.
Closing me up. I'm going to pro it.
Now, took out the Fireball skin again. Blood not quite at level two,
so you still have a chance to bully a bit.
ERC sees the normal that Hephappine can burn.
Season down is here. Nitro.
Two games down.
But still has a burn across in the matchup. We've seen him win situations and show that his strategy is wedged with the S-Move.
He doesn't give you options and he's dashing. He's incredible right now.
Thanks. It's a turn-game for the knockdown. Big chance. Positive bonus. A lot of people are being built up here with Eric.
Under Barbra's own 12-1 update, not great confirmed.
confirmed. Yeah, he tried to get in the last match, he was a smithy, out, and that was turning around.
And so he confirmed that from that later, from that far, he's actually really hot.
Sorry about the game, 5-8 to the squad.
Full screen, put to the game.
Oh, he's playing Flatski. He's playing Flatski, he's got the one for the goal, and he knows.
No cancel there.
Meter! Pierce is down, Pierce! He'll both block the climb, back to neutral.
That's a chance to get on the board here too as fine as the mark.
Varix asking the question for now.
He's talking something very, very animalistic and jumpy with nothing.
He found you unbiased. Varix made you into no walkthrough.
I'm certainly no walkthrough. Then I don't have to worry about you that.
Oh, but wait.
Chill out, baby.
No good. Bar slashes work out.
Oh, no! I'm going to the well one too many times!
Catching out has access to the full catalog of blood.
Quick draw the 2H and it's set point for Variks.
Now he's gonna give him another 3.
He might get another Brio from Variks.
He did it earlier.
He's trying to get to Nitro.
Nitro!
It's time.
I need him to beat.
You're looking at a doubt we never forget.
Cross up no!
It was the same size of my feet.
Variks identified that.
Boko Bopon is the first Nitro.
Oh, but the 2S is a master class.
A full follow-up, the blood blob sticks to the wall and a 6-H to do it!
Varix in full control of the blood and his own destiny, top two guaranteed!
One more player stands in his way.
So I want him to look undefeated for a long time, but before we go into that, let's give it up for Nitro!
One of the best to ever do it, I say it all the time,
I mean, Nitro is one of those players where,
you know, even though he's been putting out
a lot of great content, highlighting a lot of players,
a lot of legends, we are currently living in
what is going to be a future video
of a legend of Nitro.
Big shout to him and congratulations on the placement.
But then there were two.
Before we get into those two, though, obviously,
you have to, you know, recap ourselves,
bring ourselves back into the moment.
The replay presented by PlayStation tournaments
Because again, it's another situation where the second gas pedal hits the floor, he just never lets up.
Barrett doesn't tap the brakes, he just knows when to let off the gas to take these turns, right?
It's not about, you know, slowing down, it's more about just keeping control in that same tempo.
And it's very hard for Ivan to bob it.
We've got, you know, chimes on our side, we're going to have to sneak or pads or anything.
I'll give you a hot pick and sell.
But I have returned.
Yeah, it's a dream.
What happened, Chad?
In the moment, it's time for the decision.
Did I put you guys on guilty gear again,
and then it went into commercial?
But with that, though, it's so incredible.
This was the craziest moment here.
Yeah.
Oh, Nitro's out.
Varus won.
Wow.
The double backtab.
You even saw Nitro.
Man, I had it.
The situations like that are so difficult
to have to deal with.
And just being in the moment, a spot like that, seeing it off again, it is so hard to actually keep yourself in the moment here at Barrick's.
Hold up.
Soul Calibur's the thing I'm looking at the most.
Backbone of Soul Calibur 6, as far as the strange levels here at Sir Vast.
Portugal almost suffered a goal versus Columbia.
Thank God they didn't.
I don't know what the NBA would do if that happened.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm helping over.
Dinkins, Dinkins.
Oh, I wanna put it!
Yo, he's the real one now.
I think he has to give a little bit less respect, he...
Kibachi has to give a little bit less respect, because he's letting his face out.
Dude, but bro!
He's letting his face out right now, he has...
Oh my gosh, he's just playing like I see...
Oh my god!
He's doing it!
Okay, Kikei!
Oh, the back step catch dude!
He's dominating it, he's dominating it!
Chunk!
He's a different man, bro!
Okay, but it's up to Kibachi to bring it back.
He can do this.
It's like, honestly, one big read, Kuchimino let's him.
Okay?
Nice step in the big pill!
Stop the doppel, it's okay.
Okay, challenging. Okay, A plus B try to catch a
GI maybe? Yeah, it catches the low. And you're plus two, so it's not bad, alright.
The botchies, kid. Kind of like
equalizing a little bit, slowing the game down, slowing to either. But the big step. I want to threaten
a lot of those that are moving. So the thing is like, a lot of
You're a big good one those are minus Wow, I didn't see that in years
Yeah, like every good look at every good low is at least my 14
Okay, so it's just like you can't really poke a where Sophie out because 4a minus 14 1a minus 16 5
4 oh
Okay, that's the back step right there. Yeah, so the moment
So if he's are looking for those pokes yes, it's just like you're gonna get fully damaged every time or you're gonna get punished
So he has to win my neutral mints
So look at my god, dude can't even do to be in this defense is so good
He's making this man with left the right you cannot hide him all my god. Oh, what do we miss peek again?
No, we're watching it
Well, yeah, you could just 3k and I'll just like the test any a chat. Here's the thing
Here's what's changed. I'm not an official EVO representative anymore. I don't need to give like equal time to all the big games and shit.
He pressed the button! He pressed the button!
Awww!
Okay, this is a rudeness you're talking about.
I don't need to give like equal time to like every single game anymore.
So I do my shit.
Hi Pete, what's up?
So the vertical windmill, 60 people staying at the middle of the box.
And so Calibre 6 is not doing it for you?
You can check it out dude.
I'll be meandering though.
Does your opponent know that you're actually zero or not?
I can be very biased with the things that I like like knowledge checks that you could
This shit is gas right now. Dude. This shit is great
right now we see him watch you slowing the game down and
Just be be a right now. It's working because he doesn't give her an opportunity to seven
Yeah, and then you open them up with one. Yeah, actually, okay, good watch
So what's that now? Okay on the other foot? Okay? Yeah, the rollout. Oh, that's a big hook, kid
So, yeah, Wyzee doesn't step there, it's time to go to the poke.
Could go for the A, A plus A.
What does A1 mean to press?
You press A attack, like, this game is A, B, K, G, right?
So you press A and then you press down forward and down back.
So A1 is like, 1A is down back A.
A is the horizontal strike, B is the vertical strike.
Whenever you hear a number notation in games like this, and then in Ampo games, look at your keyboard, look at your number pad.
The number pad notation, one is down back, six is forward, two is down, that kind of stuff.
There's a tech trap with the slide. You get 4-4 KB.
They probably thought, probably heard A1, it's 1A.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, it gets so low.
He's actually containing movement really well.
3B is like a launcher, down forward B.
Because he's expecting it.
Yes.
But because he doesn't throw it a lot,
and he's using it actually up low as a tempo.
Actually, I'm wrong.
In Tekken, it's different.
In Tekken, it's the complete fucking opposite.
Because in Tekken, it's 1, 2, 3, 4.
But all the inputs are forward, down, down, forward.
Yeah.
It's backwards in full caliber.
That's mad confusing, dude.
Trust me, don't feel bad about that.
Oh, just, okay, stretching it in a little bit.
Pibachi, okay, hauling out the sidestep there.
Those are a little scoop, gains the space.
Oh, don't push it again.
The haul of the language.
Yeah, that's, like, input notation is, I mean,
there's a haul of the language
and they have to see it,
and also, like, you know,
if you understand from somebody,
you're like, you hear FGC people talk and they're like,
well, if you don't hit your wall rising whiff punish,
you're gonna double DP from a back stance.
stupid fuck it all sounds extremely weird
beautiful weave weave weave
oh no and we get the face that he made way back in the day with germany california
spirit might be broken we'll see slowing it down he's still in there
double a okay yeah last forty could have got stopped there
okay go so why didn't you go for a meaty on oakie you you ugly idiot
That's just a sidestep. Oh my god. What a huge threat to Swig from Hibachi.
Go in the distance, check out all the tricks of the book, but really waited
to the last possible second to show off the big guns.
Man, what a set. That was amazing though.
Wow. Yeah, just the way the momentum shifts. I think the biggest, like, element
was the fact that he was able to change the pace and the tempo of the game.
without that Ben Ben would have just been yes spacing away and everything like
yeah
there was an ad for a Dragon Ball Fighters Masters showdown but it's at April
18th 2026
There was an ad for Dragon Ball Fighter's Master's showdown, but it said April 18th,

of course I wanted to like check it out.
And as soon as I saw this id guy I was like ah shit, son of a bitch they got me dude.

New edgy bitch with a big sword, they got me.
Like I thought though not anymore, I like Delfeld's gameplay a lot, I don't like

I like her new character a lot, but I don't like her gameplay much anymore
I'm not the husband I was oh, yeah, it's pride month cool dudes and fighting games my shit man

Love hearing the random people in the background
I don't know.
It's just a game.
There is.
It's an exchange.
One more opportunity!
And the first thing for Retino
is what Sam Stadino
an unbelievable performance
and another trophy
to Retino
North America's finest
continuous dominance.
Unbelievable performance.
He says I'm good.
I don't even want to throw it. I'm leaving. I'm out of here.
That's the reason why we do this.
It's an unbelievable performance from Red Ditto. A huge victory.
We have to give the flowers. Obviously an incredible showing from Varix.
Red Ditto though. Celebrating with the crowd. Celebrating with the homies.
live in the moment as you should, this is your championship moment.
That's sick.
What else has been hovering around?
What else can we check out?
Uh...
My dom's back up.
Uh...
I

He says at the top 24 losers
We check on new stuff and we see if there's anything interesting that got announced
Oh, no, no, no, they already showed no, they have nothing to show of the new Blazor character
just the announcement.
They already said that.
Right?
Am I right or am I wrong?
They do have an announcement.
Oh, shit.
They said more on Sunday.
Oh, shit.
Not only can we be on that level, but we're going to go through this early.
You know, we must be very, very important for Dr. Dr., one of the last remaining U.S. players in this tournament.
Probably didn't go up in a room in the solution, because I haven't even been to the car yet.
Some characters are much better than others.
I'm trying to bait up those people again.
And then crouching and peek, huh?
I
Oh, he's got him rolling forward!
One hit could do it!
Four, we're gonna get him right now and now we'll do it!
Oh, oh, oh!
The instant overhead off of the dash, medium kick out!
What's going on over here? Is it 2x KO pools?
I'll click it if somebody picks Thresh. Damn it.
Damn it, somebody did not pick Thresh.
No Thresh picking.
What are we adding slow caliber? Is this top 8 yet?
I
Have a favorite archetypal for characters and fighting games
Big swords
Here is with the red scarves
And cyborg slash future ninjas
Oh, this is gonna hurt!
Oh, fuck.
Bad.
She takes some big drumsticks.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Does she lose to the Koda after?
No.
Wow, what a broken character.
Oh, you gotta get up!
Oh, that didn't work.
Watch out for the highs.
The low's coming.
All right.
You have speed.
Oh.
There it is named Claude.
What do you think the big sword thing is, bro?
Soul charge!
A little game play wise.
I usually like all-rounders, yeah, instead of like pure rushdown and stuff
like that.
that can do a little bit of everything but they're like the best at it yeah I
don't vibe with over complicated characters I don't really vibe with
strict rushdown like fast characters not really I'm gonna like characters I do
the majority of things like pretty well but not like over the top like Leo was
the good example in and like into your XR we actually had like projectiles and
shit like that they were mostly good for okay he had a DP is good at mixing
But he was like a little bit of everything
Yeah, watch her. Oh, did it get the block punish? That's okay. Nice shield. All right into axe
Yeah, I think I kind of work really well at mid range as well
Isn't that thrash? Yeah, exactly like thrash thrash
In far range, but you can also play like up close at times. He's pretty good at that
I don't know, but it's crazy. That's crazy
What about Kudimitsu?
I'm going to send it exactly like this.
Well, yeah, Sendai came out, but then I saw what Sendai was doing, and it just wasn't
that interesting looking.
It just, like, it was cool.
Some stuff was cool, but then compared to Thresh, and Thresh is just all incredibly
fucking cool.
It's like god damn everything about freshest combos and his buttons and all that shit is just amazing here. It's amazing
So like Ken and Terry exactly yeah Ken and Terry are good examples of that
In terms of the streetfighter nests, you know, they are the all-rounders
Not a fan of Gile. No, not at all. I
Really don't like a ton of street fighter characters very much, but some I really do
right as far as my main and six not in place that much I barely put any time
in the Lars at all he does just walk away I thought he looked cool and six
but then playing so cold playing Tekken 6 online would be like is like ripping
your own dick off just little bits at a time so I never really got to play
much of Lars at all until like mostly Tekken 8
How did he go past that bad guess the online was awful dude online was awful
He he wants that top eight because he wants that stage. He wants that top six
Was worse than three-finger four. He was so calm on sure. All right. Okay. Oh, we don't break those
I like how I'll see because ran in not scared. Yeah, okay. That's fine. Oh, that was an axle
Okay, no spending all the meter spending all the meter
really good
You said Street Fighter 60 gets some drastic gameplay changes?
Maybe not drastic, but any.
Right?
We're not as...
I don't think any Street Fighter people have been playing a lot of Street Fighter or came
to the same conclusions that I came to back in 2023 after three months.
What drastic changes?
Well, like almost any, you know?
The game is like 95% of the exact same game we've been playing since like 2022.
This is what we want to see.
Okay, the clash set up, we got some momentum going on.
That's no, oh man.
Oh, okay, that's a lot of damage.
As well, shit.
Keep it simple, keep it simple.
Oh, no, that's fine, okay.
There time each other out.
Oh, stay down the round.
Okay, as well, roll sucks.
Oh, oh no!
Trying to go for the lock, oh, no!
Oh, you're stuck in.
No, that's crazy!
That's good, that's good!
Excellent!
No!
What do you want to Tifa to play like in Street Fighter 6?
I want Tifa to have an invincible reversal and also to have an extremely long crouching
low forward that's cancelable.
That's what I want.
I want those two things.
I also want her to have her gameplay gimmick from Remake and Rebirth, which is unbridled
strength.
An unbridled strength pretty much is like Janyship or G.
Get buffed out by the level, you know,
three levels of buffage.
Tag 2's online better?
Not much, no.
It was a little bit, but not by much.
All right, so we now have K and R versus Dino.
Hear me out.
So Street Fighter 6 got Tifa.
Is it impossible that Tekken could get Claude for its Season 3 mystery character?
Nah, dude.
Did you hear my dream?
You heard my dream.
Let me tell you about my dream.
My dream is that Tifa's in Street Fighter 6, right?
Why?
Claude his way back through Loser's Bracket.
Claude's in Soul Calibur 7.
That's my dream.
My dream is that the hero, the main pole character, the link of Soul Calibur 7 if there is one, is Claude.
He's the cover art character.
And Claude in Soul Calibur would be pretty sick. Forget it, it's not going to happen. They've told me that before.
I've had people, I've had naysayers, trust me.
But the chance is there and you're given to it.
I've had people telling me my entire life that'll never happen. Oh, I know
for a lot of things
Yeah, that it it is the promise right that God finally makes his way to Soul Calibur after he didn't make it into two
Finally the promise has been made
It was hard. I'm not the opposite of Nimo. I don't get pissed off at this game anymore.
But he's supposed to be in two? There's a 20-plus year rumor, a 25-year-old rumor, that Cloud
Stripe was supposed to be the guest character of the PlayStation 2 version of Soul Calibur
2. And something fell through, and they ended up using Hey-Honking.
layers deep into hell when it comes to like the weird things one could do is it not over?
I've only heard this story several times. I have to like go back and find an old Arcadia
article or something like that talking about it. I wanted to ask I want to ask Karate about that
shit personally if you could ever talk about that. What is this? This is the craziest dude there's
never been a wilder key like they're basically both in soul charge right now. Like what is
This is happening!
Oh!
They're hitting each other hard.
I can't even commentate that this is like the most bananas this game has ever been played
between these two guys.
Reset.
You gotta reset Nemo.
Reset.
Alright.
You're right.
This feels right.
I like how Keelik literally got like Akira's three hit strings.
Oh my god.
But it's like just like look at the damage on the board.
They're both like slugging it.
Keelik's gross in this game.
You feel it.
Oh, there we go.
Punish it actually.
This is a game worth in the 2026.
This game is $6 on Steam right now.
There we go punish it actually this game more than the 2026 this game is $6 on steam right now
It's definitely worth it. I'm not gonna tell you what to do with your money
But this game for six bucks is a steal
Yeah, that's a little nice nice even if you even if you're just going into character customization, dude
Like the online is cooked. Don't get me wrong
The online is
He put his hands on the control!
They're in the way!
Okay, Gator coming back!
He said not a second time, my guy!
Skullgirl second encore for $3?
That's crazy.
One of the only times I told people to like
go out and spend money on this to support it.
times I remember emphatically in my head you need to go out and buy this right
now for like the future you know it was guilty Gear X hard that was the game
you'll figure X are leading all the way up until revelator and have to yeah I
made like videos saying like you need to go buy this right now but please nobody
knows this shit is barely anybody knows this shit exists and the fact that that
That is the case is everything on that is insane
Demo has just been getting very passionate about that. Yeah, people didn't know that this shit's incredible
I don't make a decision here. He needs to not try to be
Kandar and playing his own game right now, which is yeah, he is the pants and you think it's doing pretty good right now
Let the replay rock you assholes damn it
existence. He read him so hard. And Nemo doesn't like this. Nemo doesn't like it at all.
Oh my god. I would be like, if he were having such a good time, I would be like, oh!
I love this game, bro. This is so easy. Oh, nice.
Jump. Okay. Oh, nice. I'll rise and be. One of Scaling's best buttons. All right. Yeah.
Oh, natural. Nice. All right. He's not slowing down. I'm wrong. He just keeps on going.
He's adapting. He's adapting. That's the really important part. Oh
Holy shit he landed the parry counter
That's sunlight dickhead
It was nice low. Good. Good. A good
button to interrupt. Nice.
Nice block. Janna is locked in.
Oh. Oh, how did that hit?
Yeah, he knew he was going to step so he went to the
Hori so he could lock it. Catch him.
Nice. Beautiful. Alright.
Yes, cool. Oh my god, damn. What a mid
What the fuck oh, oh shit
hit god damn so ungebonga dude so god damn ungebonga once he goes into bug
bonkers that's instinct mode he's crazy that was the most ridiculous said I've
ever seen you know how the fighting game I wish I could play for the first time
again beautiful stuff that was beautiful stuff oh that's a great
question holy shit James thank you do I have a fighting in my wish I can play
for the first time again the very first time they're like two bears going at
each other just going to pop up ah damn that was amazing this is so caliber man
it doesn't you got that clean clean play you got a little neutral and then
You just got a punch and you took out the floor with the corner chest.
Oh my gosh.
That was so funny.
I don't think they did anything less than 20 damage on any hit.
I'm going to, my brain goes to games where I can't really remember.
Right?
Yeah, I have games that I love and I'd love to go back and revisit those moments early
on.
But in my head, I'm thinking of like, yeah, I clearly remember the first time I played
Marvel 3.
I clearly remember the first time I played Ultimate Marvel 3 or you know Killer Instinct or MKX or any of that stuff that I love and VCI, sure.
Um, but you know I would love to go back and just play again for the very first time and just like have this game hit my eyes.
See the characters like that that are in it for the very first time and just be blown away by it.
Especially with that character. Yeah, he's kind of like not perceived as a big bombastic explosive kind of character
But yeah, yeah, I saw it
Back to back. All right. Did we already call out Denise for 500 earlier?
But crimson x-panda with a 900 max with 200
Yeah, it's probably this dude
It's probably this MVC one. I can't remember in 1998 what my first moments were like because I played this so much
But like going back and playing NBC one for the first time
I don't remember it, but all I know is that I fell in love with it
So hard that I wanted to learn how to use an arcade stick, dude
Like
So much that I just would do anything to play it. I'll do anything to play it
Those moments, I don't remember the first I don't remember the first time I ever saw it
And I would love to experience that again like the pure ass passion like I did. I love this shit so much
I'm gonna play it so fucking much, you know
Yeah
MBC one is my favorite Marvel vs. Capcom in terms of
Presentation it's still my favorite presentation
any NBC here
Damn Sonic Fox is up on
invincible he's trying to stall for time that could either be running away or
getting a combo going so he could switch over to power plaques but kind of blew
out the combo lives early here comes battle beast even though you had to give
up a little bit of purple health I think besides about that that was only
worth it standing position here go for the assist break over those is also
playing carry shit bro very hard to manage and look at this one to one
Is that Daigo vs Riddles? Holy shit!
I'm gonna go down to last round last game for the set.
This is it.
Oh my god.
1998.
Old enough.
That's the fourth row.
That's another fourth row.
Try to go low.
Pike to throw.
No Dima flip for you.
Riddles, spending the bar to keep his plus frames here against Igo.
in the corner fighting for his life now next hit for riddles is going to take it
whoa oh my god that confirmed riddles you are crazy you are crazy dude
that means riddles does eliminate that go book how serious book how locked in riddles
just watching the animation making sure he finishes so serious god damn
the earliest rounds that could be spent in a tournament and if you have a game
that's like relatively fresh the pool play itself is not going to be super
interesting until you get some notable players that show up in pool play you
can get some grand finals matches in cool play but like the larger like 90
percent of it is like mostly like just anybody playing you know that's what
pool players.
And how old is I in 1998?
So when I was really getting into Marvel vs. Capcom 1, and like learning how to use a
kickstick for the first time I was I got into competitive fighting games like an
actual FGC when I was 10 10 or 11 years old so it was like 90 95 and that's due
to killer instinct on on Marvel vs. Capcom I was like 13 like maybe well 13 years
I like it. He's just trying to cycle them out here to maintain the pressure close the distance
And Poseidon's gonna take it to one over Sonic Fox. Damn, dude
Great great show Poseidon and again, especially after you yeah, I was like just a teenager
I was just a teenager Sonic Fox. It's hard to get your mental back in
Shape and they I couldn't have I live like a hundred miles away from the closest arcade
So I would literally have my mom who worked in town
on the weekends just drop me off at the mall just leave me there I'll find a way
to get money and I would like to earn as much money as possible but I found ways
to make tokens through a little game called Jungle Drive in the arcade where
you can bet tokens and earn more tokens it was literally gambling so I found out
I found out how that machine kind of works and I would turn a dollar into about five bucks
That's all I learned how to get good at Marvel versus Capcom
And also house of the dead
Yeah, I just I do just recycle that over and over I just not eat
I just wouldn't eat what is any money I had for food I spent I spent playing arcade games
No Chad you know jungle jive is you ever seen a quarter pusher
This eventually they take it away because the quarter push machines right that like they did this push quarters off the edge
They give out tickets nowadays right so back in the day they didn't give out tickets
You get a dollar in you get four coins right for tokens for a dollar
But when you put in a token and the tokens fell out guess what fell out more tokens
So there was a legit good reason it kept you in the arcade like it was
valueless but they were super valuable if you wanted to stay and play more arcade games.
So that was how I learned how to get good and play arcade stick and stuff like that on fighting games.
Arcades are expensive like you don't have a lot of money as a kid.
You cannot like just go to the arcade all the time.
You know like that's just nearly I would get 20 bucks at an arcade like once every five years or some shit
So you had to find ways to like so how do I play this without having the money to play
Like yeah, baby literally beats everything and I'm not seems like I know so badly that this person is going to the suspect
Yes, I'm taking my turn. I'm gonna explode him for it kill him on this
My baby won't kill but it'll keep that but like just stepping and letting him sound like that
Yeah, if you if you crack the five dollar bill at an arcade
If you play especially if you play the shooting game that cost a dollar or something like that
That's one of the more expensive games that should last you 20 minutes tops
So keeping it close. Yes. Yes. I would turn five bucks into
Like eight to ten hours. That's it
Five bucks into eight to ten hours. That's what I would get out of it
So I'd go there every single weekend and then I would like theorize in my head what I can do to get better at the games
All that kind of shit, you know
We're all here long so I made friends
Made friends with a bunch of like Asian gangsters
I only gained their respect because I kept coming back when I was losing and was playing
They have like guns and knives and shit, but I didn't know my name. We knew everybody by what character they use
Steve knows trust Steve was working in those he was working behind the scenes and those arcades at the time
That's how you force your way, and then you heal.
I know how to see that.
Goddamn, dude.
So, so good.
That was just good.
How did my mom feel about that?
She still doesn't know.
She's still chat.
I told this story on 2XKO once.
I went to a, my mom took me to a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tournament at a game store.
Like the first month NBC2 came out on Dreamcast in Bakersfield, California, right?
shit hole and I ran into a couple of guys that were super FGC invested like
really into it this is like the year 2000 something like that like right around
that I was like a senior in high school or earlier something like that it's like
early really early 2000s anyway I say Bakersfield is a shit hole
respectfully, okay? Respectfully. That's someone that went there a lot in the 90s in the early
2000s. Respectfully, okay? It's a respectful shithole. But I went to a game store, my mom
dropped me off. She went to go do a bunch of shopping. And I thought I was going to
be there for a long time. Anyway, the tournament goes by really quick. I get like second
place. And I start talking to these guys that are like a little bit older than me.
They can like drive and shit.
And they're just like, dude, you tell me all these stories
about these guys that go to Japan and they play for money.
And it's their job to go tickets to go.
And they were just like super into it, right?
So these guys, probably 18 or 19,
they were definitely older than me at the time.
And we're just talking about this stuff.
And then I'm like, yeah, where do you guys play?
And they're like, at the mall.
We play at the mall.
Then he's like, we're going to go over right now.
You want to come with?
And I just jump in the back of these guys' car.
Sure.
And I go to them and what happens next?
So they drive me out into the middle of the desert, OK?
And they drop me out.
I'm just kidding.
We literally go to the mall, where
there's a massive crowd around this Marvel versus Capcom
2 machine, a huge fucking crowd.
And I put my quarter up.
And I get a few good wins.
And they're like, who the hell is this kid?
Who are those this young ass kid and I'm like doing strider double jump combos and all this shit against them?
Who the fuck is this guy's? And I'm like I'm from I'm from more down south that that's my territory
And they're like, you know, oh shit. We better go down there. Those guys are pretty good like type of shit
That was what it was. It was all regional. It was arcade versus arcade back in the day
So it was like where where do you represent like you're representing FFA representing STV or you're representing
the golf land type shit like
There was always regional representation around something California
So anyway, you have to claim turf. Yeah, you know, you got it. You got it
You got to show up and it's like where the fuck is he from?
And yeah, that's that was the way it was back in the day
So I would do that with 3rd strike a lot
I go to like random arcades and just show up and try to like
Beat people up at 3 s and just be like, all right, anybody in this arcade any good?
Let's find out
And then some dude fucking arcades would have scouts
This is such a normal shit to me nowadays and it sounds mad weird, I get it.
But arcades would have scouts.
So people would be at the arcade around certain games, especially Marvel 2 and 3S, maybe
CVS 2 to a degree, where dudes, this is like pre-cell phones, like early era cell phones.
Not everybody has it.
But you play a game and then start beating people's ass and these dudes aren't that
good.
They're okay.
And then they would leave and come back like an hour later, maybe you were there like half
an hour or an hour later, and then their friend shows up where it's like, oh, someone's good
and they showed up at your arcade.
And the representative of that arcade would show up.
It's the guy that's, again, having your name in the top leaderboards on any of these games,
like the winner leaderboards and the score leaderboards was mad important.
So if you showed up and you fucked that shit up and you put your name on top of
it it was like people got like oh oh the people are pissed so they'd start like
calling their friends if not letting people know so the shit would come down
and some guys would show up and try to fight you and yeah that happened a lot
that happened a whole bunch so that was just the nature of arcades back in
the day when you're like mad competitive it's kind of like Pokemon gym shit yes
a little bit that I have a rival not necessarily not necessarily in their
arcades not really I like being the
the Roni that walked around and like
wasted some people and everyone like
talks about him later I like that was
always fun to me
I know it's showing up being this
person that's way younger than all these
people I got that I got that feeling when
I went to a Tekken tournament for the
first time in like 1998
And I was just at a game store and I was like probably 10 years younger than every single competitor there 10 years younger
And I'm ever getting really harsh on myself at the time, but I did well
Like I don't think I got like top 8 top 5
But I remember the feeling was like oh this oh this kids good
They thought they were just gonna waste me and all of a sudden I do pretty good
And at that time, I just understand Oki or anything like wake-up timing or anything like that
So I just got beat up on wake-up constantly
But I was doing like combos that they weren't even doing and shit and it was like whoa, what the fuck?
What is this kid decent?
So I would beat a couple of them and then get some respect and that felt really good. I would feel very nice
Could you come on on top? Not in those tournaments. No necessarily
Not those tournaments
I'll always remember how I lost, bro.
I'll always remember how I lost.
Strip, what's up?
Maybe you're the first national for Smash, you place third and people freak the fuck out.
Yeah!
It's shit like that.
Like defining expectations and shit like that.
I got addicted to this shit from a rec room chat in my local community for Killer Instinct
on Super Nintendo.
So this is like 1995, right?
The summer of...
Summer of 95, maybe 96?
Anyway.
So I just practiced K.I. so much, because I loved it, and then I went to the rec room,
and I just started playing in the rec room, hoping that somebody else would play me.
And then people would play me, and I'd beat them up.
And then other people would show up and play me, and then I'd beat them up, and some
people thought they were good at it, and I'd beat them up.
So this went a whole summer, like an entire fucking summer, of me going there every single
weekend, both days of the weekend, and just never losing, beating everybody up.
by the time the summer was over there was like 20 people like 20 folks that were
just in line waiting and the celebration that happened when I
eventually lost felt bad but was also like my that was like what got me into
what is a fighting game community that did it after so long of like oh now I
I need to get better and beat them, you know, like that kind of shit.
I did it. I did it.
So, anyway.
I also learned that that time it doesn't always feel good to be the one winning because people hate you, right?
You gotta understand that. If you're winning all the time, people fucking hate you, dude.
They just want to see you lose.
This is before there's like any kind of influence or anything like that, there's no cell phones
dude.
It's just stories.
It's just narrative.
Interrupted Soul Charge?
Or was that super?
Oh, this week.
I wouldn't even mind if you healed.
I wouldn't mind if you healed at all.
Big whip.
That's bad.
Anyway, those things are valuable to me.
It's also valuable because I know they'll never happen again.
I find myself as time has gone on becoming very disconnected from online fighting games.
Right?
I'm so glad he's here.
Because it doesn't mean much.
Oh, that was beautiful.
I think that's one thing after after so much exposure to fighting games that work pretty good online and they are good
Like that personal investment like it takes so little to get into this and so little to either walk out with a victory or not a victory
That when you had to really commit like I talked like I talked about writing a letter
You don't really commit a lot of yourself to going out to these places and doing these things
So when things worked out it was extremely satisfying like very satisfying
And all right gang, that's it for today top six tomorrow at 10 30
Damn leave it's on team spooky street. I gotta get up
We'll be to that also. I believe that is the case. I gotta get up. Thank you for tuning in. Well, that was fun
as always
Here um cut a core ninja killer. Oh my god
What was I saying?
I feel like online fighting games now, people don't play like anything on the line, you
know?
Like, it's so funny, there's the difference between the mentality of an old school fighting
game player and a newer one, people just get on to a fighting game to jump on and this
is nothing wrong with this, but they just jump on to do the thing they want to do
and they just won't change, you know?
They just will not change.
So when you're in person, like you have your own money on the line, you know, it's a lot
different.
There's been this thing that's happened every once in a while and I realize it, where I'll
be playing a game and having a great time and like learning shit, I'm like, God damn
I'm having so much fun learning this stuff.
And everyone's like, why don't you go have a line?
Why don't you go try it online?
go play online goes go jump into ranked and I'm like and I'm like chat why am I
why am I about to expedite my adventure towards frustration by immediately
going online in a fighting game and fighting randos I'm having a good time
right now and there's a there's a high probability of beaches jumping into a
a random ass ranked situation and just becoming fucking miserable like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
god damn anyway you have to be in the right mental state for that shit in my opinion.
Fighting random people in ranked dude I would I felt like back in the day I would do anything
to have like a good ranked mode like in Guilty Gear Xard like Xards ranked sucked and I was
like please just give us a decent ranked mode where we can actually fight each other. But
now that's so prevalent of just like fighting randoms in everything, instead of like getting
like fighting buddies, right? Like people that you can like fight with and you know that you can
just enjoy the game with. Bro, like when you eventually get into a game and doesn't fight
complete randos like across the board, it's valuable. No, you will get better. I'm not
there's no value in it but there is definitely a lack unless you really love
the fucking game like you just love that shit it'll it'll be a bit of an
exercise and frustration there will be a lot of frustration involved in that
shit. And I found I learned an interesting thing about myself. For the majority of games
that I play and I really get into fighting game was the ones that I like. I enjoy all
of them. Don't get me wrong. I have fun. But the ones that I like really dedicate
myself towards they all had a common element they all have like they all had a
thing and the thing was my my friends in real life liked playing it so having
real-life friends that were there and able to enjoy it and wanted to get better
the next time they're there like online doesn't mean anything the important
thing was taking it to the arcades right well like that's the weird part
Right now it's like people think training mode is for this to I'm gonna take my training mode experience and go online
That's what's most important and to me the online thing isn't that important. It's about like how does that translate to something else?
And some people that will be tournaments, you know
to me it's like
The live interaction all that kind of shit
True goal is beating up Stephen Kenny exactly it's it's it's dude
It's the same thing even for like Smash Brothers with Simmons and shit where he was like beating the shit out of us
It's like I want to get better. I want to be better at this one. I want to have fun, you know
To me that means more and all of the games that I've really gotten into over the past like 10 plus years my dude
That I'm really into
I
Realized that yeah, oh shit. They're all the ones that I had friendly local competition in some way
And that that makes a lot of sense based on my upbringing, you know, I got into this shit in general
so
It's more the realization that you just can't I just can't get into everything as emphatically as I possibly can
I cannot love everything as much as like you guys might love it
But I'll definitely try it and hopefully introduce somebody else to it. That's like the whole point
I want people to love this shit as much as I do as much as the games that I deeply love that
I'm like fucking super into I can play at any time
I want people to find if that is you know
Under night for you if that is so calorie for you if that is three five or six for you
I just want you to make that this that discovery the same way that I did you know because I feel like
Monetary incentives are nice like making money is cool and all right
But if you're just doing something because you love this shit out of it, then yes, okay, there you go
That's it. There you go
If you just love this shit love the characters love something about it, then you're not grinding anymore
You're not playing a game anymore. You're just doing something that you enjoy
People's are just treatment themselves and make content around their favorite fighting and grows it as a community. Exactly!
Just like with the Soul Calibur guys we were just watching. Just like with Tong at like TNS, you know?
And those guys built a active competitive community around the game they love, which was Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
Of course I noticed these guys more because they play shit that I fuck with. Like they're really in the games that I dig, you know?
paying attention to them. But it's the same shit for a ton of other games, a ton of older
games. This is why I'm mostly like I'm a big advocate for older fighting games. Ones
that don't have like a massive active scene or a ton of money involved. Because you know
the people that are just playing this shit love it. They just love it. They're not
here just for like the front page notoriety or only this or only that. Like none of
the community that's into this shit. They've just been playing the fuck out
of it and they made all these friends because they just all love it. That's
That's what an FGC is in my opinion.
That's my hot take on modern FGC.
I really fuck with that kind of the fighting game community, which is why those are the
kind of dudes that I try to propagate the most, especially when it lines up with the
shit that I like.
Same shit for Marvel 2.
Yeah, I didn't want to put a bunch of big names playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in front
of 30,000 viewers.
I didn't want that.
I wanted to put Rom Nito and a lot of the dudes that have been playing this
shit forever, you know, all the guys that have been playing this
like and I've been watching for two decades. I think that was
what I wanted to see. I want to see them in the spotlight
showing how much they love this shit. Anyway, fighting is
just a look pretty good for this round. Along with the
stream be I will watch most things tonight. I have to get
a matter of tomorrow for top eight.
You're waiting for not suppressing any sort of like...
I'm not being so patient here, but not being a knock-up on a jab.
Arslan is up.
This is like Grand Finals reset, man.
Let's let Under Knight have its moment.
Nobby and Arslan are going up.
Fuck!
Chill.
Nott has to do something about this.
Take over.
Chat, if you want to have the moment that really got me into it,
I could not believe how much I got into Tekken 8.
I can't believe that I got into Tekken 8.
I've played Tekken 8 less than Street Fighter 6,
But I think I had a longer lasting interest in Tekken 8 than Street Fighter 6
Because to be real Street Fighter 6 is very familiar territory. It's Street Fighter 5 too
Like it's great. It's the Street Fighter 5. We always should have gotten it's the Street Fighter 5
We always should have gotten but it's very familiar territory to me and for me like finally playing a Tekken online and enjoying a Tekken online
I've never had that opportunity dude like that was new to me
He was new to actually enjoy playing a Tekken game against these people in some way, because
this has never been available, like Tekken 7 was a slog to me as well.
I think the most recent fighting game you got loving playing online was Mortal Kombat X.
I'm with you dude.
We dealt with early NKX netcode.
That's one of my favorite games of all time.
NKX I can always play.
It's one of the greatest fighting games I've ever made in my opinion.
And that game's online was terrible. It didn't matter. I'll play it. I don't care
That coach balls, and then they fixed it later. Thank God. Thank God, bro
You know play Street Fighter 6 and he'd ride MR right exactly
I played Street Fighter 6 before they even put MR into the game
Like my bitch ass put 500 hours into Street Fighter 6 before MR was even introduced
It was LP grinding that was the whole that was the whole point of the game early on
Riddles versus Tokido this shit is crazy right now brother
You're not wrong holy hell
Got to move my face with this shit
Let's try to let's try to do the sponge bob meme, okay, we're gonna look in the top right
And the bottom left and the middle
Would you ever play MK one again, or is it not worth it MK one is so much better of a game than it was at launch
I would if you asked me a max you want to play Mortal Kombat 11. I'm like no
No, I don't I'm I'm morbidly curious maybe but no
Do you want to play more combat one? Oh hell, yeah, we're going about one's fun
Check out riddles versus the keto channel in a second all this shit's happening at the same time
Crack shoot, catch, still Q to press the buttons after this counter hit.
There it is again, pressing buttons!
Those for the safe, he wasn't sure if it was going to kill for the next sequence, so those for the burrow.
We check out Kenshiro yet? No, not yet.
You're the really smart sequence from Riddles there.
Team Buffard, whether or not he wants to anti-attack.
They're playing in Arcade in South Central LA.
I think I know which one you're talking about, a couple times.
They had Street Fighter IV.
But it was in a rough ass neighborhood
That's the kind of neighborhood where I don't want to I don't want to park my car on the street type shit forget what it was called
Why is he picking this outfit I don't know he likes it
I don't know
You know how little that narrows down this would have been around like the mid-20
late
2000s, you know
There was there was an arcade in
In LA like deep LA that had Street Fighter 4 and
And
It's pretty like I knew some people that played the game there like there were some people that that's where they went to play
It was it wasn't in doubt. It was closer to downtown LA. I went there once
And it wasn't really good arcade. It was good, but
My car was gonna get smashed
Family fun arcade no no family fun was in a good neighborhood comparatively
family arcade oh no not family fun but it was a family arcade I wonder
Yeah, he tried to use burn uncle to close out the gap between torpedo doesn't get the juggle here
But he is gonna get the counter hit again jumping out where you go and yet eat your past years and it's looking good for riddles
Pull it around for torpedo there set point
That might have been it nice
Family arcade LA yeah, I think they're still there gonna get jumped in on
yes yes this was it this was it
yeah it looks like it's been obviously changed quite a bit maybe this was it I
don't remember yeah this is what I remember I mean granted this is much
older. This is the much older. I remember this this entrance. I think this is it. That's
the one I remember. You had a park on the street and it was rough.
oh no no way that is so unfortunate not this way and riddles you can see the
riddles unhappy unhappyness
round the way from moving forward awesome nice from Pakistan head nobby
needs to find a way to even it out oh zippy's up zippy's probably the best
players
In our kid in the mall called tilt. Yeah, that was my old home in the valley. We had a we had a tilt as well
stopped he is on fire right now and he moves forward into top 24 winners side
in such a dominant is there Marvel 2 happening let me know wow let me know
but is to be expected you know let's get rid of these guys because their games
are gonna be on different streams tomorrow
Oh, Strider Zero's streaming!
He's an old FFA head.
Uh, what the hell?
Uh, I'm just trying to find myself in the world.
Oh, Under Knight. Come on. Are you finished?
Oh
Yeah, where's the fucking X-Men versus Street Fighter tournament bro
So, my boy Danny, Chad, the dude that's running the X-Men vs. Street Fighter Tournament is Danny.
He's like a Skullgirls guy, but also a big X-Men vs. F-Head.
He literally was one of the other dudes, yeah, here we go.
He's literally one of the other dudes that played at the exact same arcade that I played
and learned how to play Marvel vs. Capcom 1.
He played Mega Man.
Like, his old name used to be Mega Man DS.
He played Mega Man in Marvel 1 and 2 and he got fucked up for it because it was the hardest
hell thing to play.
This is the good shit.
Hold on.
Good shit.
Oh yeah and he's on right now.
Sick.
I did a Skullgirls video with him in like 2013.
Something like that.
And I had him show me Skullgirls, so we made a video out of it on the channel if anybody
remembers that shit, because he was really into Skullgirls.
Oh, he just won.
He was on.
I live vicariously through all these guys, dude.
Chad, if I wasn't in the position I was just to always make the content I do and to try to keep the viewer base that I have
I would just be doing the shit still
Max who what max but
Similar to what is in the discussion regarding viewership my bitch ass prioritized like career and
Future longevity
Shut up shout out some Maximilian for looking at the stream. I really appreciate it shut up
There's a lot of maxes in the world. You got to say Maximilian do you got to shut out Maximilian do fucking happen here
I'm gonna fucking give some subs
Try to get the next match as fast as we can give some fucking subs now
How many viewers they got 24 let's do it
Let's do it on the second chat
Do we have a matcherino? Oh, let me find out
Well, you got to say this whole name you can't just say you can't just say max you got to say Maximilian dude
You can't just say oh max is watching god damn it whole name. Yeah, I get some respect to that man
This is a respect shut the fuck up
With some Maximilian dude, thank you for coming to the stream. I appreciate you. Do we have a matcherino?
Unfortunately, we don't we don't have a match. I really wanted to try to enforce that but work and got in the way
around the same time I was preparing for you both and
Unfortunately, I just couldn't so we're just really running this tournament, you know, we're doing we're doing it for the players now
But I definitely appreciate you being here
I'll just give him 20 gifts up.
These guys are doing these side tournaments just because they want to chat.
But thank you.
Thank you for coming through and supporting the stream and I really appreciate you.
Hope to actually see you one day again and maybe play some excellent vs. shoe fighter
with you.
I would love to make that happen.
Oh, Max's gift something.
Oh, my God.
Max's gift.
Oh, Max's brilliant dude.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
The side tournament dudes are doing this just because they love it, Chad.
Holy crap.
I really appreciate you, man.
Oh, my God.
I don't want a second.
This is nuts.
Just let him know.
Yeah, well real men cry, bro. Real men cry.
Real men cry.
Thank you all, thank you all for showing up, watching this stream, watching this stream.
Yeah, I just don't like Marvel vs. Capcom 3, or X-Men Coda, or Marvel Infinite only.
Bitch, it's all these fucking games. It's all of them.
Any other communities around any of these games, I'm into this shit, you know?
I fuck with it deeply every single one
Ain't no money to be made off this shit anymore. It's just do you care?
That's it. That's what's the most important. How much do you care?
right now and I'm here with a lot of the veterans over at Evo. I'm here with dogface who is a legend
Justin Wong of course he needs no introduction. Justin's probably gonna do very well. New faces that
is playing XS vs. Street Fighter in a very hard core sense. I get to vicariously live through
these guys every Evo. You know he is an SNK legend definitely a Neo Geo legend in that scene
down in Texas but he's been playing XS vs. Street Fighter and has been training with me
and a few other people online. So definitely if you guys want to check out Dark Geese look
up his channel. It should be like Dark Geese 2K24 I believe on YouTube. You'll see a lot
of archive content for Neo Geo Battle Colosseum, King of Fighters XI, King of Fighters XII,
King of Fighters XIII. So thank you all for joining.
Not looking good for a third. Will it win? Will it win? For Evo? Really? Really?
Will it might not win this Evo? Really?
These other games do have their charm. You think we deserve a new rival schools? Capcom
here's our prayers. Dude, for the sake of darkstalkers and rival schools and any of
that shit. The only hope you really have is a new Marvel versus Capcom. That's it. The
only way that you get these old characters to come back and it's been this way for a
long time in a meaningful way and to play as them in a game is a game that has a bunch
of Capcom characters in it, right? So a new Capcom versus SNK. Hey, there you go. That's
a high likelihood. New Capcom versus SNK, that can have a lot of crazy shit in it
nowadays and not just a Street Fighter versus SNK, which is what it was back in the
They're new NBC obviously NBC always doesn't hover just street fighters a bunch of weird shit
CVS 3 is pretty much the big one especially now I have free time to come to emo again
Steve is streaming. I would love to do that. Fuck is going on with him?
Well, but some of you guys don't know is that both new york and tokyo is supposed to be
Hold on a second.
Capcom Fighting All-Stars? Well, that doesn't really exist outside of a game that never came out.
And, you know, Capcom Fighting Jam, which was definitely not coming back.
Is Steve at the BYOC area?
Cvs3 at that point is it more win and not so much if anymore pretty much
Yeah, I think cvs3 is happening the biggest question is that what kind of cvs3 do you want right?
What kind of cvs3 do you want do you want one that's like cvs2 which is mostly like a bunch of kof and
a bunch of street fighter.
Well, the game was mostly KOF versus street fighter, you know?
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
I gotta let the guard down a little bit.
If you got a CVS-3 that had a roster like SVC Chaos,
that shit's crazy, bro.
If you got, like, Okami, like Amaterasu versus Kyoukusunagi,
that starts to become pretty bonkers like other game,
you know?
The coolest thing that was like SVC chaos was that they had Marvel versus Capcom
like things in it.
BBC FNF?
Over here?
And some last-life characters, exactly.
That's a weird shit.
That was about nine shows.
Yeah, CBS 3 was mostly a street fighter game.
What is the superhero game stream?
This is Invincible vs.
You gotta find a time to play more. It's changed a lot.
Oh boy.
like my pronunciation of Amaterasu maybe she gets a power amy like right when she turns
beanie
monster monster girl monster monster girl
aren't you at evo ah I don't want to be officially involved with a government entity that's
why
I
Arksis stream is live BB announcement pretty soon shit, but why male models
Why male but why male models
Arksis
I think he went for the boosted kick instead of the normal one.
So they're not a foreign government trust, dude.
The times that our government has tried to move their way into my stream, regardless of
monetary benefit, I also was like, how about no?
Is the goal to get people to fight in wars?
What is the goal here?
Wait a minute.
Is the goal to enlist, dudes?
I mean, all the respect for people that do that shit.
like more than ever, but
What's the actual goal here?
That was a long time ago, that's like ancient history now that was like 20
1820-19 shit where the army was really trying to get into FTC stuff
Bitch, I don't even like telling people to drink sugary drinks
Why I never took the Red Bull sponsorship stuff
Nothing against it, but I just don't want to be the one telling people to drink Red Bull
Say
Enjoy it, but I just don't want you to tell you to drink that stuff because I know it's not good for you
I don't like that idea that like I'm gonna I'm gonna drink this in front of a bunch of people and tell them it's great and then
This shit's not good for you. It's very bad
Let's get this shit started
It's so dangerous why so delicious exactly
Exactly.
Oh, Dogface is playing sick.
The only time I did that was with food that is, like, relatively healthy?
Like, some of those, like, factor meals and stuff like that?
I ate a lot of that shit, man.
That shit saved my ass.
Factor meals and cook unity?
I don't have them anymore.
But...
I ate a fuckload of those. Like, I ate so many factor meals.
Um, and so many cook unity meals. Pretty healthy, all things considered.
But I got sick of them. I got sick of them. And I was just like, nah.
Nah, dude.
Eventually, I ate my way out of enjoying them at all.
HelloFresh is pretty good too. I mean, it's the same shit.
All the same stuff.
Factor meal is just like pre-cooked like chef-prepared meals. That's it
Cook unity is like the uber eats of
people at home making shit and
Factor is sort of like, you know
Making a whole bunch of food and stuff the thing that I liked about it is that they go bad
Like you have to eat them in like a week or else they go bad because so you know, you know, it's actual food
But I try everything on the menu. No! No, some things I just wouldn't try. I don't like pork that much.
I like bacon, but I don't like pork. That's a weird thing, I know.
Microwave stuff been healthy pretty much. That's pretty much what it was.
This is very not loud chat. Sorry.
All right, let's do what's happening on Steve's end.
Let's hear his audio.
What's up, Solidary?
I know everyone's got real shit to handle, so I get it.
But I'm disappointed, Solidary.
You should have been here.
I was just talking about you.
Thank you, man.
I appreciate it, man.
Yeah, JJ had a bunch of cooked pork earlier today
with cabbage, and I was like, that smells incredible.
I don't want to eat it.
These are actually kind of sick.
Exclusive.
I actually think I want this one, the third strike one.
This fake ass fan, this guy's wearing a third strike shirt to see if he can kiss my ass.
Justin Wong cannot get away from the parry, the parry curse.
The evil moment 37.
I'm going to criticize everything he says now.
Shit is nuts.
Geez, all third strike stuff.
Yeah hell, of course it is.
Because this is the best fighting game of all time Steven.
Dude, I actually really like this one.
Yeah, I'm probably going to get that.
I'm probably going to get that.
I'm going to remember to come back here later.
That's actually super legit.
Did you even try the Street Fighter? So, Yasmin is in the Street Fighter section. I believe she's
farther down that way. We'll get a chance to look at her chat if I go around the venue. Let me go
around the venue and see if I can find her. I'm trying to find out. Hey, what's up, boss? Alright,
alright. Yeah, let's see if we can get around and actually see if we can find her. Hey,
Hey, what's up, Oz?
And you did indeed.
Right now, they got the 2X KOs.
I mean, I'm sorry, the token.
Jesus, why is the 2X tail on my brain?
The token area?
Very bad.
Hey, what's up, Oz?
All right, all right, man.
Chillin', chillin'.
Yeah, they got the token section.
Steve is token.
Huge crowd trying to get in here.
I'll probably have to wait in line just to try to play.
I did get a chance yesterday late.
That's when people started to leave.
But we got a chance today.
Yeah, I'll do the last one.
OK, that's what makes sense.
Get my FOMO out of the way, chat.
Get my FOMO out of the way.
We showed you guys the Doom section and everything
like that, so maybe next time.
Ready to send.
You guys saw us play last time, so that was pretty dope.
Let's see where they got over here.
Thank you for the gift, son, Max.
Oh, Max is listening.
Nice.
It's one question guys. Who the fuck is Max? Hey Max, you want this shirt? If Max is listening
I got I said I was gonna get him this shirt. Hold on. Let's see if he wants it. Whoa. These actually look legit
Damn, these are dope
This is definitely shit stupid where cuz I got him a jacket like this
I gave him my Street Fighter 5 bison jacket he wears shit like that
Ask him if he wants this shirt. I'm gonna show him right now
Yeah.
Dude, this actually looks sick.
What the fuck?
I'm getting distracted, but God damn this looks dull.
Wow, wow, wow.
Max, dude.
Look at this.
Steve is giving himself ADHD.
Six shirts, man.
Oh, is that a Monster Hunter shirt?
Oh three months under shirts and a battle network
What does Steve think I want a battle is this guy actually my friend?
Let's find out cuz I know what he would like
He would like a giant chrono trigger third strike one
This one is sick as hell. No, I'm good. This one is super sick. Of course. He got
And evil 30 moment is it evil moment god damn
you
away from this shit for a little bit okay get away from this freaky-ass chat
this freaky-ass chat with their freaky asses
I'm gonna go check on my my my chicken seizure rap
barely ducks that projectile over the other side I thought he was gonna swing
I was so sure he was gonna swing but that just shows you the patience the
level of patience from GER because he knows what's at risk bulletproof doesn't have any boost bar for the
sysbreaker and lukin has a lot of purple so he says i'm in no rush i let me slow down maybe find
as soon as i find the connection maybe it's gonna be robot no he goes for the lukin instead i think
that was a big mistake he just gave up so much health on lukin's purple but maybe he thought it
was like a tricky move like he won't see this coming very hard to punish very hard to punish
We'll put that time again. Tags in.
I actually didn't know you could tag in off that super. I need to use that quarter.
I'll stick it on views and then we're sitting out every single beam we got.
It's not going to matter though. We find the opening that we need.
All the resources and the world to close out this bulletproof.
And this is for the first time in a long time.
Oh, well, Mac, it seems like they're in the lead right now.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it was all good.
It was just like a few decisions away from, you know,
making something happen and it just couldn't open him up the second time after
the assist breaker then there's a scramble you get the new character and then
you go back to square one so you know you really need to get like
consecutiveness that was a good boost dash cancel from the dive kick keep the
combos oh be my yeah keep the combos simple I was gonna say but he didn't
have the bar to do the super but that that boosted beam is also just as good
it was enough jump surprise cuz that was like meaty right so yeah you missed a
a lot of the active frames early on, but it was still enough.
Right now, in Ger's mind, he's like, I just got to get rid of this Thula.
I don't need to worry about the Cecil.
The Cecil did nothing last game.
We definitely pulled the card, right?
Luke them!
Luke and Loops, that's going to be perfect.
You see from the damage or from the how different the combo meter was in that situation.
Guess the reversal punish.
So many things look like they can't be punished, but Luke is back super is so good. It goes so far and so fast
That was like the first interaction, right? Like he didn't even think about blocking the entire string
No, I'm letting it rip them immediately press about and I blocked it
I'm immediately going for super has been another try to get another call out there
No punish that is super punishable
I think a lot of people think that he charges three times. That's what he doesn't hit
All right, right. Yeah, but he gets all the way through it could also be with C
So I think just because the jab is a little slower than others, right?
Because he's shooting a gun and not a use of a cannon from five people.
Possibly that's sort of in the case here, but...
Alright, here's an internal fight here.
This is Gur's old anchor versus his new anchor.
The one he said sucks so bad, so let's see what he can actually do.
Hey, if he wins this, he's justified, right?
You know what I mean?
He turned it into out for the new.
What if he loses it?
Ah, we'll see.
Sudden death.
He's got it.
He's got a lifelike though.
So Gur's the one who can run away.
Oh, my God.
Now we're going over here.
That was so scary.
I think the Life Lead is going to go slightly in Siegel's favor,
but again, Robots got that mobility.
We can block here.
Oh, that's a dive kick.
Oh!
He missed the jab punish.
This is so scary.
Oh, who's that?
Cancel to keep it safe.
Now who's got the Life Lead?
Oh, no!
No way that he wanted that.
Absolutely no way he wanted to do that move in the air.
There is no one there at all.
girl loses to his old anchor but I would say that without you could chalk that up to
just a mis execution there in the air there he was nowhere near him no reason
to do that but yours trying to keep that demeanor trying to keep that momentum
going we actually have gameplay can we switch the game play yeah I was looking
at it on the come on I want to see this I love looking at the players faces
but absolutely everyone to get back to the nitty-gritty here final game
between these two players see her right now already taking the life lead
here yeah it looks like we missed an assist break but you know we could imagine what happened
together yeah got got opened up and then we're right first this break so you're gonna open up
yeah everyone thought evo was supposed to be in july in august everybody gets it all around
attendance viewership everything's going to be down on evo this year because of the times shift
so yeah
I don't know man.
Ooh, okay, the boost to come back down all life and pick up the combo for them.
He just drops it at the end.
That's the worst place to do it now.
Luke's gonna escape and got freezed.
Yeah, he is.
He only has a little bit of a sliver left, but when you have Luke and Luke's down
in the corner, all you gotta do is tag into him for the 50-50 and hopefully kill them.
People usually play regular alpha 2.
Nice.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Why sooner than later? I don't know.
I do not know.
I don't know what that is.
I don't know what that is, ZWC.
I don't know what that is.
Is EWC.
We got Saudi Arabia or something.
Nice.
That makes sense.
Okay, good for us.
Put some off the corner.
My dark geese is about to put
some back in the corner.
He needs to get out of there.
There we go.
Look at that rush down.
Look at dogfish's rush down.
There we go.
Ooh.
Like, this is really trying to take to the sky,
so we can actually get more cancans.
Ooh!
That's actually hard to punish.
That's tough.
Okay, getting real in safely.
I don't want the Chunli third strike shirt tell him I hate Chunli in third strike
Very trademark dogface to lady body
Move.
He's going for it. He's trying to go for the fancy stuff.
Good stuff. Good stuff by Darkface.
Takes it. Moves on.
Darkgeese is out at fifth place.
Very solid. Very solid.
That was OLD. Very OLD.
Good stuff, man. Good stuff.
They're out of XL. I don't wear an XL. He knows this.
We literally clothe each other. Jesus.
Everybody wants that.
Clipping weird chat. Alright guys, so the next match
is going to be Dogface versus Mega Man DS.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The classic.
Sorry, what?
What did you hear?
Yes, every single time we stream your video games,
we clothe each other.
Like, I'll clothe Steve.
Can you close Simmons?
We kiss each other on the forehead.
And then we hug and we start the stream.
It's like our pre-bonding thing every single time we stream together.
No problem, Anthony, easy.
Who the fuck else are friends supposed to do?
Who'd be weird?
And stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen, because after this tournament,
I will have an announcement to make regarding tomorrow, actually.
So there's definitely going to be something on my end that's happening tomorrow
that does involve the vote.
Nothing crazy big but it's big for me.
We're just definitely going to be waiting for the next match, guys. So stay tuned.
Wow, look at this one. This looks impressive. Look at those colors.
I'm just going to be like,
sheesh.
Okay.
Is that baby hood?
Wow.
This actually looks legit chat. What is this called breakthrough?
I feel like the older Spider-Man, the older Peter Parker eating this shit.
Nice.
Don't.
I dig it.
I'm impressed.
Just living off of this burger.
Yeah, look at this sign up there too.
I didn't notice that.
Burning souls.
Let me see burning souls.
to show your love for your favorite game, favorite characters, and we have amazing cosplayers
this year too.
Chad, have you ever seen 90s Dark Stalker's cosplay?
Have you ever seen it?
Yeah.
The Dark Stalker's cosplay community is nuts, dude.
It goes back so far.
Japan. She just won EVA Japan 2026. Yuki Switch! Give it up to Yuki Switch!
And she's obviously a sena-samea and she's been doing the cosplay.
Edge versus Nobi.
I feel like sometimes you play passive and it gets him like in danger
and I feel like versus Nobi you can pass.
That's all I'm gonna bring up too, like especially against a player like Nobi, you might have to turn up with him.
He likes to fight the trenches. He likes to get dirty.
You know, Edge can scrap though.
Nobi lost to Arslan earlier.
Double Burst, same frame?
No, second frame, second one win.
Nice.
That's the same frame?
Yeah.
Keeping it tight after the heat dash.
Got that 4-4?
Oh
Wasn't prepared wasn't prepared for that exchange you said it was gonna be scrambly Mike scrambles we get oh
Wow manually switches stands to the other flamingo so it can do the right flamingo for three again
Do what what a god? What a warring player? He's going in
to the wall
pressure on the wall I'd like to get myself in trouble you the rest of the
heat for the smash here's the burst on the side of no be rolling out of there
trying to get off the wall
here black height keep it holding so we're gonna have to get up back one get
some out of danger killer versus low-high oh shit
where number one from dancingly to three rounds oh shit you know yeah
Seconds getting spicy bro. Where? Where? I'm not seeing it. Where's the other Tekken stream? God damn it.
I mean look, Edge might have an understanding of this matchup that we don't now.
This is what I was talking about.
Like a street fighter.
OK.
Now we're going to touch the way.
And it's going to be the step kick low to take that one.
I can pull a game already.
Steve-O-3 and Evo-5, OK.
Evo again, nice and close for the toss towards the corner.
Space note would be there.
Oh, that should be punished.
option that
Nobody switched to Lars god damn it dude
The young girl well left out
That was
I
Was talking about you know my man gets the lawyers on the wall and you're like, oh, let's see how you're gonna react to all of this
Nice armor. No respect
Yeah, 433 where you trying to move on wake up?
He tried to get the armor out to buddy with the load just crushed
Big damage the load again one one one the first
with the Lars huge turn around two rounds to sender
Well avalanche yeah, I mean was trying to get the biggest goddamn starter avalanche starter on this floor
Who just blown the fuck up? I don't think they changed that since he's a one either on the avalanche
It'd be jumping over her hell of stuff like it's a 2d jump
I
Try to delay it what an interrup by edge and he got the conversion
That was so good too fancy lost sauce
Send send it on the dash
Running for to the jack knife action throw wild the shaft so brave
Oh my god, it was an input error
Yeah
Sucks
Fucking large shit isn't it crazy chat that even at the highest level of people playing this character shit is still weird as fuck
Shit is still weird
Yeah, well, I wish we could remove rage art input and have rage art only be a button.
Yeah.
Nice.
Cool.
Nice.
Cool.
Nice.
I didn't know the two was coming afterwards. I didn't know it was crazy
That's lobo got me too, man
Yeah
Big commited down for two one
Okay
Yeah, he's doing the thing man, he's down wanting whoring you really need to
I'll cancel back three. That was sick.
Send it on the dash to secure the round.
Nicely done, Edge.
OK, OK.
Moment of back in his favor.
Final game of the round.
First round, Edge.
Oh, step forward two to make the jazz whip.
Get some floater though.
Oh, sick, man.
Uh-uh.
High.
Yeah, that's a 3B chunking.
Yo, wind Liger, safe head.
Oh, nice.
Nice!
Over Q4.
Still getting a few exchanges, calls out the armor.
Yup, out of the armor.
Again, the low is relentless.
No fear.
I told you, bro.
You start playing this character, and he's like, I don't care anymore.
Dude, you see the original dragging off down too.
You think he's scared to go low?
Mm-hmm.
I like that big tracking option in the back.
Oh, shit.
Big, chunky mid.
Running one, find this mark where you're stepping.
That's the role break
Damn that's a mental victory there
Okay, he burst on the side of it quick sidestep sneaks in a couple of lows
I'm a kazoo. Yeah, no, I don't play any other character in this game really except Lars gets a first
It's funny too much fun
I like that armor worse this time. No one's been calling out with the low
That's gonna be the round
Is it not a character I enjoy? No, I've never been a fan of Kaz
With the large not necessarily you can see the look of a gen a few sessions on season one
I like them
But I really don't like what they did to gen as time went on all of his goofy ass looking flipping combos and shit
They try to make they they literally tried to turn Lars into they try to turn gin into Lars
It's fucking weird man. He also had like his heat-dash forward move like I'm like, what are we doing here?
Like it was weird that it was it looked like Jin was learning shit from Lars
Like he literally got a den three as well, and I'm like, who's this Jars bitch?
I don't like him. No, I like I like Jin being Jin and they give him all this devil Jin shit. I'm like, bye!
Yeah, I don't know if I love this. I like his design. Don't get me wrong. I like it
But Jen shouldn't be jars Jen should be Jen not Lars. We don't want no jar shit. I want Jen
This is the main thing
He just does more weird devil Jen shit in season three and beyond
I mean this goes back to the conversation. I was having earlier like when do we have to stop playing fighting games
I feel like this is a cool knowledge that you keep and it just makes you better overall
obviously you can't go out of the reactions but if you have the battle IQ yeah the
way to our unit's plan at all
Justin's playing
Hmm, nice arcade version with the blindness.
The classic.
My eyes.
Chad, go into a dark room.
That'll be even better.
This game is pre-epilepsy warnings.
didn't recognize that was a thing that people go through in the 90s like no
kidding no shit these games come before that shit no I'm not even kidding you
they take it out but they leave it what I appreciate from Capcom is that by
default it's off but if you want screen flash like the old one you can
still have it
Justin got double storm? Oh my god! He was practicing this, the crazy bitch. He got double
storm on random select. This is all he wanted. This is all he wanted. That's the thing, yeah.
a random select thing. It's like the fifth time he's gotten it. What a piece of shit.
How could he? Oh, she dead. He wants to win with two storms. He would quit if you fought
against Justin. Justin's good, but the thing that helps out Justin like a lot is that people
get scared when they fight him. I fought him a whole bunch in like Marvel 2 and he was
playing like random shit and stuff like that and I was playing weird stuff too. And I took
some games every once in a while. He beat me in the majority of the time, but like
you have to try. You have to, you have to, the biggest advantage that somebody can have
against you is that you think that they're better than you. That is the, that is
literally the Wong factor is that you think they're better than you a lot of
those wins sure I do yeah hell yeah if they take some kind of victory you know
that guy's like the best at Marvel 2 overall you know not just like few
characters with the whole game he's the best
Nice!
Oh, not nice.
Why does the game have so many infidels?
This is... so this game has three different versions.
The one that's on the collection by default has all these... all these are gone.
Like the majority of these are not there.
There's different infidels that are much harder.
But the first version of X-Men vs. Street Fighter is the one that most players like
the most and it's the most fucked up to be completely honest the same thing with
the Street Fighter Alpha series they patched a lot of the issues in Street
Fighter Alpha with like the the Vism shit is that what it is and but people
don't like it people actually like the fuck that busted ones that's the game
that they fell in love with you know it's like if somebody patched third
strike and balance third strike I don't want to play that shit I mean be fun is
like a little novelty but like what I want to get better at that probably not
dude I don't want to play third strike the best game ever
it felt that back in summer or jam summer jam or winter brawler and pools
and Marvel 3 and before the match that's yours like the winner um that wins this one goes against
Justin on stream you choked so hard after hearing that and you dropped everything yep yep yep that's
how it goes how it goes
oh
oh, oh, oh.
Throw it!
Steve's popular.
Steve's constantly talking to people.
He's really got to go around here.
Oh, we missed this yesterday.
Sheesh.
All the hats they can sell.
It's pretty dope.
And the plushies got to have the plushies.
Jesus.
This is gaming, J-
This is a plushie plethora.
It's a plushie plethora.
Oh, yeah.
You got a lot.
Jesus.
And the hats.
Oh my god.
What's that?
This is nutty.
Is that Trish?
Pretty sick.
Is this supposed to be a Trish cosplay?
Did they even have a kitty?
No, they got like Pokemon.
They got no kitties.
The fuck?
8 Midu.
What is 8 Midu?
Oh, they got retro-style arcade sticks.
Retro-style arcade sticks.
PlayStation 5 controllers that look like PlayStation 1 controllers.
And then.
Ranked cosplay.
This actually is.
We're hearing her through Steve's stream.
Classic arcade style.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
I never seen that before.
Back in here.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, like a purple one.
Look at that.
You're a robot.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
They even got the hit boxes that look like Nintendo.
That's really dope.
Trish, you and our DMC Trish?
DMC Trish.
Double A cry.
Say good, Janet.
Trish.
the same good Genesis design that's hilarious are you sure if you get like
something about 100 anymore that's gonna say that's actually legit here we go
she found her character nice 40 bucks that's actually a good price 40 bucks
It's actually a good price for some of these characters for real.
Yeah, it's nice.
I'm gonna pick up the classic controllers.
Yeah, those are dope.
Damn, look at Bison on the whole.
Mr. Eliza, was that her name?
$40, I can tell you that.
The Vampire Chick from Tag 2 and T7.
Sheesh.
No, the Vampire Chick wasn't in Tag 2.
She was in Tekken Rev.
Tekken Revolution?
When did she first get introduced?
This is from Tekken Rev, yeah. The shit we can't even play anymore.
Tekken Revelation?
that's nuts yeah it's kind of crazy I didn't see it guys imagine anime com hey
what's up buddy that's pretty dope man I like it let's see there's a crowd over
here and your test characters are six without buying them I don't know can you
I think yeah transparent controllers. There isn't much to see when it comes to a box
I mean it's just a motherboard and the finds themselves
So it doesn't really until tickets. I've never used any of that shit
But we have a fight stick you got you know more than the other board and all of the lights that come with it
And she's like that. I think transparency looks a lot better with nice stick than it does with a crazy reuse shit
This leads to full combo to yeah
I
Okay, so here's the thing about Peters
Yes, I found Peters, but when I tried to start the stream in the artist alley
It it crapped out for some reason
The artist alley
Unlocked the rentals when they are available
The stream just shuts down so it's like a dead zone over there or something
So I have to be careful when I hit over there
So if I think the shame is gonna crap out then I'll head to the artist alley because that's pretty much what's gonna happen if I go down there
But yeah, Peters is down there
This DLC tax deductible like a write-off
Or a leverless whatever fuck you mean even if it was a write-off it would be like
The taxes associated with that write-off is everything that you're writing off
So if it's like a $10 thing, you're writing off like $1.
Right?
Does the tax of 10% tax?
Like $1 or 2, right?
It's not that much.
And people are like, oh, you get to write off everything.
And it's like, no.
No, you really don't.
I mean, what you think that is,
is not what you think it does.
People think write-offs, you just get this shit for free.
Like your car and stuff like that is a write-off.
I'm like, well, it technically is, but it doesn't,
I mean, it's free.
Better signature hair tag, take this out.
Two, I think.
Yeah, as a business owner, having a tax write-off
doesn't just mean you get a bunch of money.
No, it does not.
So that's a lot better.
There you go, perfect.
Awesome, man, I appreciate you, man.
unless you have substantial loss right yeah unless you're like losing so much
money per year and even that's really bad like you don't want that shit this is
why all corporations chat at the end of the year they technically make no money
like they'll all they they have a billion dollars in profit but it all
vanishes and they technically make no money. So they literally scum the system out of ever paying taxes.
Any of you in here paid more tax than Elon Musk did in the past year?
Like, nearly anybody, or Jeff Bezos did.
Any of you, individually.
Not even together.
What you're saying is we don't hate billionaires enough.
Let me take a drink of my dead billionaire liquid death.
Hold on, let me just take a swig.
It looks so good up close.
So good.
She's puffed me back in 0.23.
Yeah.
She didn't think it was the perfect cat.
And then she remade it.
Yeah, probably.
See how perfect it is.
I love her dedication.
She really loves this character so much,
loves the costume design so much.
She wanted to make it absolutely perfect.
That's solid.
And the makeup is perfect, the hair, everything.
I love it so much.
So congratulations.
The flavor's dead billionaire.
It's a normal palmer.
as this uncle is nice.
Oh, and we got the invincible.
So invincible versus that.
Nice, we got the invincible versus that.
Me versus Muggle, damn.
Oh, damn, the new immortal.
Hey, what's up, buddy?
Immortal, I think he's playable.
I'm not sure, let's go find out why
It's gotta be playable.
Oh, hey, what's up?
That was paid, my car, I said, hold it.
Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
He's that?
A lot of depth, like, oh, that.
Hey, no, man, appreciate you, man.
Thank you.
The audio is coming from Steve.
It's this.
Yeah, it's coffee.
He free-handed everything.
Oh, my God.
Free-handed it, and then they also painted it over
and over again.
So much detail.
I thought it was embroidery, and it was hand-painted.
It looks like embroidery.
You can hear it in Steve's microphone on his cellular device.
We can find them around here.
Let's see.
Oh my god, they block off the area.
They don't want people to see their game.
They don't want people to see other people playing
the game.
That's so strange.
Steve, they don't want people walking in there,
taking spots.
Steven.
Steven, please.
What is going on here?
Here we go.
I guess we can actually exit only.
to walk into the exit only
Excuse me, I have to walk into the exit only
I'm just gonna get escorted out of the premises
She's just like an exclusive area and shit, it's nuts
We was know they need to be ashamed of who they are
Wait, what?
Try to get me please
I don't have a listening to Steve talk for a while.
I'll let him be good.
Do his thing.
Steve makes his own path.
Is there an Ingrid on Street Fighter? Really?
Uh... I missed it.
Oh, oh, in cosplay, yes.
Yeah.
Exercise the demons.
I'm hearing X-Men versus Street Fighter.
OK, what the hell am I listening to?
I miss Soul Calibur 6.
I miss Soul Calibur 6, bro.
Where'd it go?
I want to see more and more, I'm looking forward to it.
Blaze blue stuff after the cosplay, maybe.
Yeah, good chance.
There's a good chance.
If you guys are looking forward to trailers and big announcements and the final top eights,
you need to show up tomorrow.
Tomorrow we'll be restraining that in the morning.
I'm going to let Grand Finals lose their side.
All day.
Grand Finals is Justin again.
I fucked up bad in Winners Finals only because I underestimated Justin's reactions.
I really underestimated his reaction.
The action speed is really really good when he was playing PsyTops.
Really understand that. So, I gotta give myself back into the swing of things.
Chad, you wanna know something crazy about Justin?
We're gonna go out fighting, right?
If Justin learns a thing in a fighting game, he doesn't forget it.
He has an alien brain.
Where if he does something in a fighting game and acquires muscle memory of any kind,
He doesn't even need to practice it really. He just can do it again
Like he'll drop it every once in a while
But he'll leave the game for like months like maybe even a year
And I'll be able to drop back in and almost immediately have like yeah a
Combogenic brain that just I know how to play this still
Like it's he talked to it about he talked talked to it about it with us on the podcast
And it's like wait what he's like yeah once I learned a combo once I kind of have it
And I'm like you don't even need to practice it really he's like no, really
Like what so even if you leave the game for a long time, you know, you know, you need to like react when he's like no
I'm pretty good. I'm like what the hell that's so crazy. That's why he can play like 30 games
That's why you like can just play anything at any point because he just like he just doesn't forget them
He doesn't get him confused with other games, bitch
I couldn't even play Ken in third strike anymore after playing Street Fighter 4
Because I would do three fighter for shit in third strike like I my brain just could not process all that shit at the same time
I had to like stop playing Street Fighter 4 to get back into third straight
I see rabbits. I see rabbits.
Jondane.
Let's check out this neemash. This is gonna stop her.
Oh my god.
The Devs are always with us in spirit.
Yeah, I think it's the wall.
Just keep it easy, two men, just like I agree.
Wall was in a weird spot.
Give yourself a little bit of time to think.
We're fighting him on my most excited form
in the near future.
As of right now, Chokon, based on what I've played.
One round at a time, I agree.
Chokon, I'm really looking forward to Chokon.
Avatar is even closer than that.
I can't wait.
But I really want to play more Chokon.
And this latest specific version,
I'm really looking forward to it.
VF haven't played it yet.
I don't even know what it's like.
It could be not fun.
I don't think it'll be not fun.
What I said about everything I like, Chat,
like, even before a new Final Fantasy 7 game comes out,
I'm like, that game could suck complete dick.
It could just be balls. I hope it's not.
But I haven't played it.
I don't know.
So much plus.
The mobile are cut each
Even out yet it can flop flopping is one thing. That's just like financial success. I don't care if it flops. I just want to like it
I don't know. It doesn't really matter much to me. I want to see games I like to do good, sure, but like...
Didn't stop me from liking NBCI after it flopped.
That's me alright. Or DNF Duel, exactly. I had a great time with DNF Duel. Until I didn't.
And a wonderful DNF duel was a wonderful game until it wasn't
You know
So they patched the fun out of that shit which a
lot of you especially if you're Marvel fans you're going to want to
Come to this very same stream tomorrow
Definitely got something in store
So sorry for the hold-up guys. We are waiting for Justin Walts to finish his matches in Capcom vs. SNK Pro.
So once that is done and finalized, then we can get started.
It's Aiza, thank you.
Plenty of MBC, I didn't flop hard.
As time went on, MBC, I did not flop hard.
I ended up doing okay as time went on. It was the same thing for Marvel 3.
Ultimate Marble 3 flopped in its first few months, it flopped, but as time went on, it
did pretty well, and the same thing technically happened to MBCI as well, but granted, that
was all at the behest of discounts and all that kind of shit.
Let me go get the second half of my burrito, what am I eating, burrito?
chicken seizure wrap. What's that? Inside their body with that button. The first time it's not
happening. It makes sense. So what happened? That was ready for that, though. Ultimately,
that's the other side of things though. Hey, guys, you mentioned Blackstone,
Junior O'Byrd. Blast just made the switch. He has on Blackstone. It's not a sign it could
be cut. It's the Juniors. He might run right now. Hey, that's great. That's great.
One yeah
Just so you know where you're going literally go to the graveyard right here. Oh
Oh my gosh, you'll find out ready
Okay
on that. Okay, we O.E. up.
Okay, the real shot tab.
Hit advantage.
Oh my God, you can see Junior buffering.
In case that Tiger shot comes out, you can see Blast Identifier now.
That's why he's throwing out a lot of those fake shots, the elbow.
Right, I need attention.
Finds a real one on the medium.
DP level three.
If you're on a big point like that, it don't matter.
Let's keep it damaged.
We break the leg here and we go Tiger.
glass is gonna stop his ticket to talk 24 taking that
Very quickly my gosh junior didn't get a look in there
This kid is
Space traps his awareness of like if something whiffs after like a mistake or like something
It doesn't leak the punishes right after it's one thing to be like, okay, so I swung I got some
He set up so continuously talking with the drive each as well the very last game to not get the plate off
I thought it's always gonna be a difficult matchup because when you want to run like stand fierce interrupt something
It's actually you to kick first the guy and it's that close. He's in the more
But even more so I thought the guy just doesn't well
And now you see it right there the footprint is all for you from flowers
I was looking at the guy to beat man, but yeah, Laz, I don't know man, sometimes he just has his days where he just can't be beaten, it's like, it could be one of them.
Yes, he's fighting at a looser side, but looser side, Laz, looking like a different beast right now.
Coming up guys, we do have one more qualification match, the top 24 looser side.
Ok, Dogura back up on the sticks here on the stage, Isuta on the other side, who did just eliminate Chris G.
Yeah, we're going there.
Yeah, my bugging was that I thought I got to see that name before.
Super.
That sounds so familiar.
That sounds familiar to me.
I was going to look at the Twitter and it was like, bro, you didn't know about this player?
I mean, there's so many, honestly.
And I'm shocked that there's also a Marvel player, me and Geitz were coming to him previously
that was playing Street Fighter 6.
So it was like, it's cool to see people from other either time periods, other games
getting into the mix of Street Fighter 6.
Absolutely man. There you go.
It's awesome to see that.
Everybody coming together to enjoy fighting games here.
It's a beautiful thing.
So many thousands of people in attendance.
But we're all here for the same reason.
We all love these games.
So that's why we're here on the mic for you guys.
Coming to action.
That's why everybody is here.
And playing in these brackets.
So good.
I should pull up.
I mean I'm going to be real with you.
Even though it's pretty pretty.
But it can definitely be worth it if you do it right.
You come out here and play your tournaments.
You go out early.
There's a lot of things to do.
It's like flash tournaments and things like that.
There's a big old arcade, activations everywhere.
I'm telling you.
This year, I feel like it has the most stuff going on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've ever seen an Evo.
There's so many booths with stuff like you say.
There's tournaments going to flash tournaments.
It's just like, OK, pull up at this time,
we're doing like a 16-man bracket for people that lost
or something like that.
Everyone's got stuff going on.
FlyQuest booth got stuff for if you went out early.
AT&T, my man, Jabba's over there holding it down.
Yeah, that's so sick to see.
Yeah.
It's not here to cut.
So much going on.
Somebody like, controller, you know,
we serve peripherals all around.
Yeah, man.
We go out here.
Yeah.
Split frame out here.
Split frame.
Oh, drop food, something.
They all out here too, as well.
In and at the end of the day.
And also, I gotta give a quick shot for this.
I don't know if this is like a thing last year.
There's a lot of casual stuff.
There's a lot of casual stations literally right
by the seats to watch.
There's a, yeah, the most I've ever seen, actually.
It's pretty cool.
and then the, the arcade this time round is pristine.
I was, I was on my break yesterday.
I just pulled up playing some Street Fighter 4,
you know, people lining up.
We were playing now.
It's just beautiful, man.
They got SD cabinets and there's no line.
You can just put up and play.
There's that many machines.
Usually it's like, oh man.
I got next, I got next after these four guys.
Nah, just, just pick a machine and play.
Everything's there.
So yeah, yeah, it's really, really nice.
Yeah, I love that these sort of stuff like a lot too.
So like, whatever you're going to turn,
whether it be EVO or whatever,
Make sure you like do the most at the tournament, you know, make your money spent worth it, you know.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? Like, I feel like people will go and they'll lose in the back of their hotel and be salty.
Be salty for a little bit, but do the other things that are out here.
Then enjoy the action.
Especially when it comes like a top eight, even top 24, up the top eight.
Hang out with your friends and enjoy all the matches.
As you see the people back there all stacking up.
Get ready to see who's gonna win.
It's the town.
Marisa?
Mommy muscle Marisa.
Tuka, Marisa, maybe call her.
Call her back.
Tell you that right now.
I'm going to find you.
Be like the boss.
Maybe once she gets you.
You're not wrong, brother.
Oh, drivers Emmy.
Oh, immediately with the OB skew spots.
OK, I see.
Hands are up.
OB with the silver.
They're not very low.
It's like it's still blowing up with the OB behind it.
Oh.
Oh, you almost plugged through right there.
Oh, punish not applied.
It's coming up down.
Ooh.
We're trying to see maybe what doggers do.
We're going to wake up there.
Yeah.
They're trying to take VP.
Right.
I'm going to shut it off.
I'm going to stand medium.
Oh.
Um.
I'm going to come down here.
I'm going to right control.
Right.
I'm going to try to make something out of Niggi level 1 situation there.
Right.
Keep up.
Right.
For the option.
I'm going to shut it off.
Put the combo though.
We'll do it there.
Oh my god.
That could have been you.
Oh my god.
All right, so we're looking good man
This the ground
Like that chase down
Of course, we're ready.
Clusters on the medium kid.
Money was some sort of reversal option like Harry.
Oh my gosh, Dokara, just William, he's giving out a bunch of neutral man.
There we go.
I'm still in two pieces.
Can't stack grab.
You see if they're going to have to make it to the right now again, Dokara trying
to bait.
He's at the bottom.
I'm trying to stand up, but unfortunately dead.
Level three.
No!
That hit!
It does not hit at all!
Oh!
Nice.
What happened?
Sorry
I had a fix them shit
Punk is out no way
That's a crazy upset
He knew?
What's the storm?
I'm standing.
I like that.
Over the corner.
Over the wall.
There you go. Catch them.
That's one of the best you can do here.
Oh my gosh.
Level 2.
He's got to keep poking her right.
Did I miss it?
All right, guys.
Justin Wong has won the tournament.
Damn it.
Number one, EVO 2026 XMW Street Fighter Champion.
Well, Joss and him deserved.
Man, played double storm.
I was able to at least get double storm once.
I was able to beat double storm once.
But it is what it is.
So I'm happy for you.
Did I go out at 33? That's pretty good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was looking for that. I was really looking for that. Yeah.
All right guys. So again, congratulations to Justin Ball. So the
announcement. So, I didn't hear at EVO this year where I got to meet a lot of
people and I got a lot of people that were very much wondering who I was, I
guess, you know, in the community because of our dogs actually.
Two here, Coyote looking strong early on and CBN bringing it back to the final round.
Down to one for counter hit. It's a season one
See one for back out of the back of the baby
Lighting this don't like that could be wall standing to
Electrics another electric from CBM. What's in where it's about what we do break the balcony and go downstairs
Post activation gonna get the wall
you see it there, we're gonna take an exit here at top 24.
Hekari's pretty much the hero, Kazuya, right, Chad?
He's potentially disappointing from so, but, you know,
in a way it's like, when you auto qualify for TWT
and EWC, how up second you be, I know, like,
he's still playing for points because top four
still get to skip the group stages in TWT finals.
But it's like, you know, in a way it's like,
do you feel like, you know, you might be feeling like,
oh, like, everything is like kind of like.
Hekari got a one of you in T2.
Waitress pressure for the rest of the year
in terms of the season.
Such is being a measurement player.
like normally I would agree.
Yeah, but I think for him especially since he just joined that team right he just got
picked up like that.
You gotta think maybe there is some sense of pressure expectation for you to
continue.
Be able to put up performances up like that that meet the actual on that you
that you just did.
After the sides deck to get the closeout talk a
sending home case game from evil 2026.
It's being alive.
Crazy.
like just light work to he's just like he was just picking a spot stepping a lot of times on the call on timing to you just stuffing all the
electrics just like Casey's gonna get going at some points. I mean the thing is that we, it's funny somebody else said this to me.
It feels like KSK is playing so fast. And Takke was like nope. Let me slow it down. It's like you're gonna play at my speed but he's just like no, no, no, you're not saying the things.
You took him on his driver's test.
Top gave him his driver's test.
You want to learn how to drive?
Let me show you.
This has brought up a lot this weekend.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I didn't know a couple people that I knew failed their driver's
test so many times.
Oh, word?
Yeah, I was like, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you more after this.
Definitely not like about this after this.
Oh, my god.
Look at this match.
Bro.
What's going to happen?
Bangers.
We're going back to the winners side on this one, too.
So not out of the tournament.
But you would be on loser's side if one of these two lose this next match
Octav versus Kasim Mir coming up as our next match winner side
Got a pack to stand versus pack to stand back
You know BBCF will have an announcement for top A. I have no clue. It's like going crazy, bro
I have no clue. It's all Octav out there earlier
I'm telling him I would have did the same thing
Eat that guy with nothing but running twos I would have did it too. I want you to know
Got to learn sometimes. If you're gonna learn today, you're gonna learn today. You're gonna learn today
I'm telling you right now. You can go home and talk about it all you want to you better learn how to deal with it
I'm gonna do it again. I'm gonna keep doing it. It's not broke. Don't fix it. Those are air fryers chat fighting games one-on-one
It's cold in there. I'm a street fighter too. Yep, but Jillian Hadoukens and Hudson improve
Bro, yeah, look if you can't deal with it, then I got none to do with me, right?
I thought he I'm here to take advantage. That's what I want to do easiest course to victory
You know, that's when versus three fighters and done for today. It's done
Justin one again. You work smarter. Not hard. He did it
You ripped away all the hope you would down for one to a king giant swing. I
promise
Like that in a gym there earlier to like riot versus avery there those one point. What yeah, you missed that too
Yeah, I don't why at one point this was like I'm just gonna hit for and a direction and why is there be wazzlin
So it's like a man so for blaze was happening before top eight. Uh, that's probably up here, right?
Yeah, we'll check it out. I like the I
Like
Seeing two really good players go head to head in the mirror not me because I hate mirrors, of course, but oh
Oh, wow, if I was wondering what was happening, but my man said he was just a blind pick.
If you guys aren't familiar with a blind pick, it's that the character select screen,
you gotta tell the bracket runner which character you're gonna lock in before you see your opponent lock in their character.
It's like, let me try to counter pick them on the character select screen.
See, there's a lot of people out there that do that to a degree,
especially when they're fighting somebody a more known player who has multiple characters and it kind of forces them into a lock, you know?
Yeah, so it's like especially if you play multi characters
It's a good way to like try to not make it so they get counterfeit on the character select screen
But here we go odd to lock him in the Brian. It felt like he's been playing mostly dry it off all tournament
But Brian's on the table. I wonder why this matchups for said
Oh, I guess now it wouldn't matter if he would know what character you pick him
But I wonder if this is what would have been the character he went with anyway
Yeah, nice boa crusher there off the sidestep where the whip punish. Oh my god. Oh Jesus
I
Like the first person I've ever seen deal with that down for four
Watching 12 streams at once huge brain
The mental acuity that only somebody from the 80s could provide
He's canceled the stand to so he couldn't get floated with the down back to all smart stuff
That's like really good awareness on both sides
What the fuck is this what the fuck is this
The sound that Kagi makes Chad shut the fuck up
That's the sound that Kagi makes when he back turns in his asshole
Okay, finally get something with a low
Great carry
Okay, goes to the side switch and there doesn't want to give up anyone
He's here. Wow that went through Brian's jab. Oh, but he dropped the combo that was big damage
Oh, I'm fortunate the downforce one just didn't pick up after that. It wasn't in range
All lift off gets punished. Oh
Wow, I like that. That's an adjustment. It's like if you're gonna cancel the stance
Let me hit you with a mid that actually hurts. Okay. Oh
Wow looking for in another interrupt again, and if you did stay in stance, it would have been the tornado screw
So that was actually really good option for a lot to bear to deal with her actual
Man that one round adjustment was ridiculous biotics babies up
He's up blaze green chat. It's happening
Finally blaze green dude
Wait, do you guys want some more information about the potential cut no no no no no no no blaze greens back
Can we please give a warm welcome to Riku Ozawa and his translator, Mikey.
Good evening, people of 2026.
I'm Riku Ozawa from Arc System Works. Nice to meet you.
I'm so excited to be here with you today.
First, I want to say thank you to all of you.
This year, Brave Blue Central Fiction is almost 10 years old.
We really appreciate you loving and playing this game for so long.
I heard a guy. Let's go!
Your passion is our energy.
Did you hear this guy in the background?
Now, we are announcing a new character.
I'm not gonna let you out there.
Please enjoy this video.
Are you ready?
That guy likes Blaze Will as much as I like Marvel vs Capcom, dude.
That's amazing.
We don't make you do it.
I wanna see his face.
Check this out.
What?
Take two.
As a phenomena intervention.
Didn't happen.
Fine.
It's all good.
Lay screen.
What?
Take two.
it's all good. Blazegreen is actually back. Don't do this to the Blazegreen community, bro.
Come on. They've been waiting for so long. If I was a Marvel vs. Capcom fan and they're
like, hey, we're adding a new character to Ultimate Marvel 3 and this happened, I would
be pissing and shitting and barfing right now. I'd be doing them all at the same
same time. Like, in unison.
What the fuck is it?
All right, make some noise.
What the fuck is it?
I'm not still alive, I'm not still alive.
Laze blue phase 4?
What?
What the hell's phase 4 mean, Chat?
Is that what like...
These characters have been around for a long time.
It's the phase after three.
Central Fiction is phase four, you weave?
How am I supposed to know that?
I'm waiting for Blazegreen!
Hold up.
Don't worry, just recapping that this shit was sick.
But people like love this central fiction shit.
Calamity Trigger duo Decim.
of
That small teaser, was that it?
Chad, who's Trinity?
Is she from the mobile game?
PlayStation 4, Steam version of Brave Girls Central Fiction, and Trinity Glassfield's 3rd
line was decided.
And so there you have it, Trinity Glassfield coming to PS4 and Steam version of BBCF.
She's an important character.
It's complicated.
Morison back?
And this illustration you see right here is done by none other than Toshi Michi
Mori, the producer of Blaze Blue.
Is he back?
All right.
Thank you guys very much.
Alright, so we're about to go into our top 8, but just so you guys know, BBCF is going to be on sale,
So if you have not played it yet, you don't know what it is.
This is your moment.
Go get it and check it out.
Chad, if you're into anime shit, stuff, respectfully.
This game is pretty crazy.
I'm telling you, it's pretty crazy.
You like ultra anime games like and this is on sale.
You should definitely check it out.
And that is it from Ozawa over now.
If you have never checked out BlazBlue Central Fiction, there's a
it's a crazy ass game.
Low high versus ninja killer? Oh my god.
Mid strides? No, close low.
If you ain't blue, it ain't true. Get some space, but...
You wanna get something going here? Counter hit! Legend kick!
Aww, baby, and just like that.
Just enough life to absorb it right there.
This is a good little set we got here.
Yeah!
Dropping the hammer on him, coming up with the Waste 4, dragon pressure.
Back up? Back one. Nice.
We break that
Again retreating his movement especially using back turn is so good. Yep. I
See so much a little pieces of previous law players in NA way. I see a little bit of the dress frame James
a little bit of the rip
Just put it all together, you know, could kill no kill
but doesn't matter for this first game, low high.
That was the most commanding round from either of them,
at that point, that final round to move, to take game one.
Get ready for the next battle.
It just tray him blows until that very last one.
Yeah, that's the thing that he's been doing all day, too,
is what's really impressive is the way he's used,
like you said, situational awareness.
That's a huge thing for Ninja Killer.
In so many situations where he's back turned,
he is decision making with using the back turn
and then using mobility that comes with canceling.
If they're coming up with counterattacks, it's been consistent all day long.
Oh, it's caught that time.
Yeah, this time timing on low-high side right now.
Low chat, and here we go, Fury.
A 4-3-1, a low pair, get this out of here.
Wow.
Clean wall splat, I'm gonna spend it.
Yes, we are.
Doo-doo.
Baaah! 69!
And Howard had it, and right into the heat burst,
Kana basically keeps him blocking.
The son of a chance to get some life.
And again, checks the side-step with the down 4-1.
And he checks the dash in with the down 4-2.
Yeah, now Low High starting in a stronger read on Ninja Killers movement, especially in...
Compact play like this.
See him going with options that'll catch.
a lot of play around
fucking punches. Goddamn. Oh my
fucking god. If there's one
criticism, I can give the ninja
player a sense of not respecting
the top oki on wake up.
situations. Side step right
guard.
Block. We're going to spend it
on. Don't even get a chance
to spend it and low high too
Two strong rounds here in game two trying to shut the door get himself the top eight winners side
Full chapter and engage here. Ninja killer not out of it yet
He was such a good job in the second game of checking them and finally the power hit back three comes out
Yeah, no whole board the second game is just had
kind of just returning been incredible. He's been able to really really really stiff out Ninja killer's time on here
Fulkin punches on deck every time. Smash, nothing after.
One last chance, again trying to get some life back.
What do we do here?
With the wall to work with.
Demetri, Demetri again.
Oh, case some down with the back one.
Oh God.
And you saw this.
Two-zero, but that little exhale out of low-high still wasn't easy in that thing.
Look at that exhale. All that pressure decompressing right in that instant because he knows he's done for tonight top eight winter side.
Yeah, we have a big sigh of relief, especially when you've been here since, what, 10, 10, 9, 10 a.m. trying to lock in.
Oh, Invincible's in top 24.
Oh, this is tight. Oh my God.
Yo, get it, because now I'm attacked up.
What?
I don't know if this is so good, but we're really going to try to just make his way in, but he can't.
He did such a great job of maneuvering around all these assist calls.
I don't know, he's really trying to...
The games are finishing today.
Pretty much the only one that's left is BlazBlue, I think.
I'm working out too well.
Wait, I'm going to hit.
I'm working out too well.
Wait, I'm going to hit.
I'm working out too well.
Wait, I'm going to hit.
I'm working out too well.
But it's not the switch, you know what I'm saying?
It is a raw tag switch, it doesn't deal with the counter-jagged mind game.
Maybe he's sokezemi that way?
Rivals is also finishing tonight? I've never watched much Marvel, not Marvel Rivals.
Much Rivals away there.
So, you know, they're playing for sudden death at the moment. No one has more health overall, but sudden death is terrifying.
Yes.
Regardless, even now that you have all characters in sudden death and everything, still rough.
Rebels announced two characters as well. Who's in it?
Make it pay at level 3? No one's in different level 1.
Oh, Mina the Hollower is a guest? That makes a lot of sense.
No, it's at level 3!
Close it up. Not gonna be killed with so much damage.
My god.
It's rough!
Oh
There was 400 rivals disqualified today, what was it like the KOF 13 thing was it was it a free shirt?
That's that's that's been there before bro, that's nothing new
Oh yeah, another one.
He tried to bait out a boosted DP for sure.
Didn't get him now 5 seconds, Rex didn't recover much health there.
And he's running, Cody's got a big life lead for sudden death, but you know, life lead is cool.
But sudden death is deadly brother, good luck.
Going level 3.
Okay, I like it, I like it.
I don't think this kills though, that's the problem.
If he had killed without the red life factor, that would have been great.
He still is recovering a little bit of health for his rector in his time, so that's also a good strategy from Dylan.
And if even things up just a little bit more going into sudden death, that's where he got
broken here though, nothing.
He's back.
Time's up.
Game on.
Sudden death.
Game one.
Minstrel versus the MK1 spot this year, well, MK1 was just, you know, even last year
MK1 wasn't looking very great.
Oh, but he got the opening.
Are you kidding me, level one?
It's up to Rex though.
Dylan is in good shape.
Look at the health bar.
He's in good shape here.
And he's going to die.
Now the incoming, wrecked, robot.
Wait, he tagged out on me just now?
He did tag it out, but that's a problem for him
because he's not going to have to help with the wake up TP.
It's probably going to be enough.
Calls out the car and breaks him down at the same time.
Coz he's getting game one here.
Winner side top eight qualifier man.
They messed up development in game one a while ago.
Yeah, a while ago.
I got two out here. Now he's talking about how you fared.
It's the first person,
because that's the one who's going to take it.
Back to the character's luxury. I'd like to take a little extra time.
Wait, control, I knew it.
I knew it, that raw tag and there was a couple of centuries
when that was happening, I knew there had to be something
with the controls that was all over it.
You didn't find one as much fun as 11 or X?
Well, MKX for me, for sure.
But I definitely wanted to play MK1 more than MK11,
but I don't really engage a lot with the content
outside of playing people, like fighting people.
But still, I had a good time,
a really good time with many characters in MK1.
Some characters in that game were genuinely very cool.
MK11? I didn't really feel the same.
There's very few characters I found even enjoyable at all.
To me, like MK11 was almost an anti-fun game.
I like it.
When you plot him down, avoid the assist breaker too!
And then raw tech, once again, you know, okay,
the raw tech in the system is just...
Oh!
Ow!
Oh, he's just mass out the over-air,
irrespective of the...
Nice.
Yeah, no, you're wrong.
MK11 is way more fun as a game.
It actually has content.
But that's what most people in the
Mortal Kombat space are looking for.
Looking for the overall content, you know.
Oh my goodness, that is a dead bulletproof.
What you think I'm gonna get?
I love the guest characters in MK11.
I hated playing as them.
You know the guest characters were insanely cool Terminator was insanely cool spawn was insanely cool
But goddamn they were snooze-fest like
Playing those characters was the goddamn snooze-fest
I there's a lot of MK1 that I think is incredible
But when it comes to the actual playing people like playing humans I
find it deeply unfun like
Frustratingly unfun even even more than than injustice to like I think I'd prefer to play injustice to over MK 11
Yeah, most people don't agree with that take
Reminder I'm the I'm the guy that likes all fighting game things and I really didn't like them K-11 really didn't like it
That's an unpopular opinion. I and I understand that is that way right MK 11 was one of the most successful games that they made
but it also was one of the most feature rich it easily gave the majority of
that audience exactly what they're looking for which is pretty much offline
content you know and customization oh that shit yeah the game is sick until
you fight other people I mean even even like going into training mode and stuff
like that I just did not find much enjoyment out of it I didn't like the
core game mechanics I didn't like to flip out mechanic I didn't like the wake-up
system I didn't like the the rechargeable offensive and defensive meter
like didn't fuck with it
that man. Good luck out there. Wow. The right button. Maybe you're right. Was this all it
was? All it was. Get on with the change. Go get inside. Oh, no. That's not a touch.
I want you to, that's the, that's the thing that I want you to take with you is that
I can't, I'm not going to be into absolutely everything and I have a lot of criticisms
about most things and I'm pretty vocal about it. It's not over. Let that be the
best understanding of this channel and myself as a person and what I've been to.
Twins vs Sonic Fox, confirm for tomorrow, cool.
But to be real, like, I just stopped thinking about it.
Like people ask me about it and I give my take on it, but I kind of just completely
stopped playing MK11, I ignored most of the characters that came out as DLC, just
didn't engage with it.
It's just like there's other games that I want to play that make me happy and
For some reason people continue to play things that make them upset if they don't like it
Like I don't I don't get it
There's plenty of other things that would make me happy
I would make for better stream content or videos or just my enjoyment of something like that
So I played those other things I went back and I played like MKX and shit. I had a great time
Thresh for top eight nice
You covered all the guests in MK11, did not, there were several, there were guest characters
but not all the DLC.
I always would give a game a chance, right?
I'll always give games a chance to turn around on me if I'm not into it and what am I going
to invest much time beyond that?
I did that for Street Fighter V as well, I give it a chance to get me.
And in the benefit of Street Fighter V, that shit turned around, that's what I learned
Is that this shit can start can start off as balls like MK one but then end in a pretty good spot?
MK 11 was not that good. I
Think Street Fighter 5 ended up being a pretty great game
but
Not at the beginning not at the beginning. I always wanted MK 11 to get better
So come back in Dappel, but I wouldn't hang out and like hate play it
No, I didn't I'm not anymore dude. I hate played ultimate Marvel 3 online
It made me a bitter person. It made me really dislike that game back in like 2012 2013
I think they're just signing off now yeah, let's get the knee and gondeng
4
Jumping managed to like keeping it close and hacking out these last little bits of these life bar consistently
Steve's still shopping he's done three rounds now a low touch a low touch keep it real polite here nothing to do greedy
So on stand spanks. Yeah, I'm k1 is better than 11. Oh, no. He's like, I don't know definitely not
You're talking from a general perspective of them just being video games MK 11 is
One of the best fighting games ever
Don't ask me to play it. I don't want to play it
I don't want to play it
MK 1 is one of the
One of the least well received and also least feature rich NRS games in the long time
And is generally perceived to be pretty shitty, but I could play that game actually a fun with it
Playing other people for the most part
You don't want to play any K11 anymore fuck no what the hell what'll come at 11? Are you guys are you guys all new?
Just don't ask me to like it. I wouldn't ask you guys to like the things that I like
I'll just show you why I like it
Do it to somebody else that loves them K11 and enjoy them playing it, you know, there's plenty of other channels
to get something going doesn't try to get away from the wall but the counter hit back three three confirm
big opportunity to the wall here clean splat
yeah jesus
nice chopper one miss he's a little too slow and yeah it's the manjinga handstand sweet
like and here's the thing i like i like games surprising me if you give them a chance and they
actually like oh this is kind of interesting now like whoa um that's happening right now with
token like right now and token was a game that I had deep criticisms of and I
just like you know what this shit just isn't for me the way this game just is
not for me and in the latest builds like a lot has changed and I'm like I'm
having a really good time with this now this is not the same boring ass token
to be completely frank it's not the same like boring game that kind of
existed back in 2025 but what more enjoyable now it like looks cool now
I'm looking forward to learning shit
Yeah 13 place
Just kind of a weird flow to that game right just I don't know like I said
I don't know if it was me being happy about male models waiting for
John thing to give them the opportunity to get them get started
It's like a lot of John Dean kind of controlling the temple of the match
Would you agree? Yeah, I mean, I think you saw like kind of a window into it in the second the last round
Especially like smash others. I love smash ultimate. I love it
But I only play it with four players in free-for-all against humans in a room
I would never play that game online ever
But I think the game in a 1v1 situation is relatively uninteresting
I think 1v1 Smash is just relatively uninteresting.
Yo, Zetrich, thank you.
There's a lot of crazy ass matches happening right now.
Oh my god, Nobby's playing Lars.
Oh my God!
Oh that was a...
Oh my God.
If I play in Melee, I've won a Melee tournament.
A multi-game tournament that included Smash Brothers Melee.
I won a Smash Brothers Melee tournament in 2002.
Was I any good at it? No.
But I was better at it than the other person was when I needed to be.
And 7 you could do both. You could do either or 1-4-2 or down.
got rid of the dead I played Mars
I won't be real that's literally why I got in by that
yeah I still the first couple times for season one I definitely still hit down
on that nice block that we were trying to take the turn back
oh dynamic range the wall
yeah I played Marth in 2001 2002 I played a lot of smash melee
with the in chainsaw while the side roll in this is before like all of the
well-known strategies existed in crazy shit and community you know according to
Google AI that's how I became an FGC person was a Smash Melee player according
to Google AI smart very smart probably what happened
He was already ready for first.
He feels ready for a launch, though,
and would be much better.
Jack, you ever want to know how good AI is?
Ask it a question of something you know a lot about.
Say no V, not one.
And then start like, that's kind of true.
That's true.
That's not true.
That's wrong.
That's true.
That's kind of true.
As soon as you know, like, really, like, in-depth
about something, and then you ask AI, like, oh,
so give me information on this.
And you're like, wait, what?
This is not fucking true
Another AI rent, you know it there's only so much there's only so much I'd be able to do if we're gonna go up against general
You have to we have to put the sword behind our back and look up at the sky every once in a while, you know
That's my complaining about AI. That's me. That's the cover of ff7. That's me
Me complaining about AI
Just just setting the just setting me at what's it called set in the mood
This shit fucking sucks
Just set in the mood
Uh, my bet's on Blade. I hope it's Blade.
I have big bets on Gambit. If Gambit shows up, I'll be flipping the fuck out.
Okay.
Who in the Lord of the Bear got trained by Hayachi?
Uh, Kuma? Yes, not Panda.
Panda's a friend of Shaoyu.
the bar flashed out in time.
Bear racks engage.
Oh, fuck.
His caught you moving.
So the wall.
It felt like he just charged it just a smidge, too, on that.
Just a little bit.
Enough for you to freeze up.
Big damage.
Bear booty.
Back it up and dump it.
To the wall.
Falls off the wall.
Oh, man.
Uh-oh.
Spinning's it.
Dude.
It's like bears can't really side step,
but side step, one plus two makes
I said a little bit more real and we're seeing it right there
Had to get the sodas to stop an ff7 rebirth look up disable rebar
Reb ar that's all you got to know look that up on offensive and rebirth disable rebar reb ar and you'll find some guides on it
As a bear you have
And that uh, uh, big body combo.
Change the positioning and sidesteps.
Rebirth is mixed on steam.
The reason is, is because the latest patch fucked with everybody's mods.
Yeah.
If you look at the majority of those reviews, it's because the mods are fucked up.
And it takes forever to get them back online and all the people that
mod the shit out of Rebirth are like pissed off at it, rightfully so.
So two one limited into orbital. It just
Know what the crazy thing is that Tekken right now is in
positive review stance
Tekken is in like a a healthy review stance on on steam right now and apparently Street Fighter 6 isn't
You have to look at the specifics of that like why that's happening, you know
You mod for rebirth and it's been incredibly annoying
We didn't people did not think that they would be
playing and updating oh my god the game that much they've updated we were so
fucking much and that as a person that has modded fighting games before yeah it
screws everything up bro hell yeah it screws everything up it makes it you
have to like re hook up everything dude the power of anime the Marvel 3
community is reeling because there's hundreds of characters that have been
added to the game, but as soon as that patch comes for Windows 11 compatibility everything's
fucked. Like you have to remake everything practically. Random MVCI patch lasts a year
fucked up my $30,000 MVCI mod project. Luckily we fixed it within 48 hours, but it's kind
of like are we screwed? Are we just fucked? Like oh my god. Are we gonna have to spend
Six months just getting shit working again. This is gonna be crazy. No, we're okay. It was small
Could happen again this next one
on loser side still
Crescent versus Hopper's 10th year you see a stream and complete PC version of Street Fighter 6 and it can have stutter issues
Absolutely army engine. Oh 100% dude PC PC versions of most games nowadays have stutter problems
It's not new like it seems to be more prevalent than ever before
You see Ed Boone tweeting about injustice what quite some time now remember is tweeting about injustice tiger up
Okay, what three three years ago three four years ago, maybe
when he had a crazy run. Oh my gosh. So I learned how to properly say his name. Shout
out to whoever on the internet did that. But regardless, Hoppe is one of these players
that you could not look at and be like, Oh man, I got an easy path. He is a strong pillar
when it comes to just being a constant reminder that there are no easy trips to a top eight,
especially if he's there.
Dude, that Nina switch earlier was.
Dog.
His like bro like if there was you thought it was only the Claudio right but he has a super strong Nina too
And it's funny because he was looking so lost out there at first. Yeah, it's like I don't know what to do against this
Let me try the Nina out and just like a slow compact up close game
I could do it even better with Nina then. Yeah, and look I think even
I've seen this too much
Huh PTSD, I mean I just played a lot of Injustice 1 and made a lot of videos around it. I liked that game
I had a good time with it
What?
These are some interesting questions Edward, Ed, Best Injustice 1 Supermove, know what this
means chat?
Mortal Kombat 13, that's what it means, don't believe his lies, means that there's definitely
a new MK game coming. It means that Netherrealm Studios is remaking Final Fantasy VIII. That's
what that means. That's what that means. Got the approval of Nomura and Ed Boone team
up to remake Final Fantasy VIII. Bro, I think the writing is right there. That's the
way the cookie crumbles. I want Mortal Kombat vs DC. For those that don't know my stance
on that, I really want a new MK vs DC. I want a modern NRS take on that.
I think we're going to see
because the up close game,
it's actually going to be so much easier in this matchup.
Clive is going to have to extend
to get like that long reach, right?
Yeah, you don't want to get the letter
and let him play at that optimal sore range.
Yep, and I think Claudio,
he has a hard time dealing with that.
I don't think that's the same for Nina,
but here we go, Crescent versus
Hopkins, Kandere, Kareel versus
Pakistan once again, going for the 1-2.
From the stands, from Phoenix,
good to see that option.
Oh, wow, try to go for the parry.
Didn't work out because of the slide.
Wow.
I domed down here, about to make top 24 or beyond.
Oh, he had her!
He tried to do something after he recovered in time,
but it did not come out.
You have to imagine he was trying to input a super,
didn't input it cleanly,
and that means Idom takes the game.
That's crazy.
Oh, man.
He had an opportunity, total total, absolutely had an opportunity to go for the super.
Yup. That's why I was counter hit and sent upon his counter.
He definitely got caught in the middle of an input that did not turn into a super.
Can WB even afford a game like that at this point?
MK versus DC?
Afford?
They own all the IP, bro.
Like, it's the, it makes the most financial sense ever,
because if you just release another Mortal Kombat right now,
People are gonna be like the third MK in a row, you know?
But will Warner Brothers give them money?
I'm not entertaining any more of these questions because there seems to be a deep misunderstanding of the situation.
But Warner Brothers owns them.
I
Like
They're not looking for cash. They don't need investors
They're owned by them
like
Like it's them, you know
They are WB
after the man grabs the WP get bought that's just not going to go through for a hell of a long time though
Like that the actual the actual impact of the WB buying out buy out and eventually does go through is going to take quite some time
Yeah, the buyout just happened they just got approved so the corporate restructuring is going to take possibly years
Stop
Multiverses was a huge miss opportunity. Well, I mean chat we've gone over why multiverses is the way it was and why it is a missed opportunity a
Billion times multiverses when it came out was a game that
Had insane numbers and was made by like 15 people
evil
was a small asking
but they did not have much faith in that they had a tiny budget for
it's over
tiny ass game
and they spent way too long figuring out all we need to make it into a bigger
game and by the time it came back it was a completely different game that
played completely different
when they got a big development team to help out to do stuff
the excitement was already over
and the game was not the same game people wanted to play
so it was done
the people forget that
multiverse when it was popular and exciting
outside of the three out of other issues of them trying to make money on
something that was not designed to make money
weirdly enough multiverses was not a game where they were like how do we make
money on this. It was more like we have an idea for a game. We have no idea how to profit
on it. We have no idea how to turn it into something profitable. I have zero clue.
Brother, what are you watching right now, son?
Chat, I heard news from behind the scenes that some of the costumes in Multiverse's
season one, just costumes for some characters, made so much fucking money it would make
your head spin. And they did not know what to do with that success. They did not
know what to do because they effectively were like 10 to 15 people trying to like keep their
game running and working and they didn't have the time to make more they didn't have like
a content team you know like as people have for like a bunch of live ops games they were
just keeping the game functioning and they had a couple costumes and that was like it
so they had to make a way to like so why do we make money off of this the problem
is by the time they did that they came back and the game was different the game was
like a completely different game a year later it played half the speed bro so it was just
less fun for the majority of people why that change happened I'm not too sure maybe for
netcode reasons like I could not tell you damn no was up um so and then more monetization
shittiness that happened around that time. Like, what if NRS is making the next triple
A multiverse project? They just wouldn't. Like, again, Mortal Kombat did not become a billion
dollar franchise by them making triple A multiverse style games. Like, there's no
reason for them not to release a game that costs $69.99 and have you buy it again.
no there's no reason. That's the way they literally make their money, dude.
Yeah, for most of us that like, you know, enjoyed playing the game for what it is, I
know I wasn't even super into it, but I had fun. Like I was, I always had a good
time uh the game just wasn't as much fun when it came back just wasn't and it wasn't that like oh
if the game has been around for too long or it's you know something like like changed perspective
wise no the game changed it was a completely different fucking game it had the bones of
multiverses when it when it was in its beta but it ran at like half the speed dude it felt like
like you're playing the game in slow motion.
People shot, you already know it's been the rest of it.
That is so, so fortunate to know of it.
Yeah, very smart right there, is able to chip out,
especially using that extra over there.
Yeah, it's not like it got stale or boring.
Oh, water!
In a heartbeat, or within a very quick period of time,
it became a different game.
It was like, what?
The punish counter, by the way.
What?
Huh?
Oh, okay, I see you know what you were at
and levels to your game.
Oh, I swear to God, the roundhouse.
Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
Oh, Aaron! You're dead! You're actually dead over there, Aaron! What was that from Gobodal?
Oh, that's sort of fortune. I'm not sure if that was a sort of input that ended up coming out as a DP,
or if it was just like the visual chaos that was happening because no one did something weird and then burned out.
We're all going to Memphis!
That cost them huge as you quickly identified it with the kill combo.
Multiverses still holds the record for the most recorded players online at a single time for any fighting game ever
Still has the record
More people were playing multiverses in one singular moment on one singular game that we could track and identify
more than any other game
It was like
Like 700,000 or some crazy shit. It was like it was over like 500k at some point at several points
Yeah, it was free to play don't get me wrong still free to play but the numbers were nuts they had so many players
players.
Same thing happens with splitgates.
It's a frequent thing in the industry where games will show up in a beta format and then
be the most popular they ever have been and then never get a chance to like get
anywhere close to that popularity again. Where it's like the initial reveal and
that that initial reveal has like a lot of eyes and stuff but the game doesn't
really match the expectations or have the support to match those expectations.
So yes, like, ah shit you know everything after that isn't nearly as like
good. So I don't like betas. It just went games to be released. Yeah, that's that's fair.
That's fair. But like betas aren't demos. They're not demos. Like if the game came out
and it was all fucked up and no matchmaking worked. Games don't make, they don't make
themselves, you know. So they need the information. That's the only reason why
so many games have betas nowadays. They're not just there for marketing, they need
the information dude. There's too many different types of like connections and data types to
stress test the game in some ways and matchmaking and distance and everything. You need it. And
you're like why don't they need it for the previous games where it's like don't they
have all that information from the previous games that they've done? It's like well they
do but not all these games are the same. They're not the same. And then you guys
You guys know what happens you play one beta and it's great and then you play an open beta
Like a few months later. It's all fucked up
It's all fucked up like the game cannot support that many players at one time and it's that's the problem with
Population like when to introduce more people things will just not break down
Or work in the ways that you hope they do
He's got two bars, gonna save them both, the eye on wake-ups as he can't respond to the zone, that was the confirm he needed!
It was.
And he's still pressing a button after hold-up!
Number one!
That's Composier from going to Prodigy right there, not the flow into Flash-Stuckle, that would have made him spend the level 3 right.
Cut it off before that to use the level 1.
Your son's helping out in the mod project universe for a multiverse.
Make some of the wave dash animations since the team has sped the game up so much.
I'm curious on that, that's really cool.
I've always been curious why they slowed down multiverses, and one of my biggest concerns
is the same reason why a lot of fighting games movement has slowed down over the
past few years, and it's because of rollback.
You literally need a few frames of buffer, it's not barrier of entry, it's not a skill
issue thing, it's none of that.
It's that in order to have rollback metcode work in a game, you can't have like instant
movement that takes your character from one like x-axis to a further x-axis really fast.
Or else you're gonna miss out on those frames and the character will just jump and you'll
just lose a ton of movement.
So what characters do, instead of going from here, boom, to there, they do this, boom.
They start with like an ease in and then they go.
That actually changes like, that fundamentally changed the way Tekken played.
The guys talked about it, like the way Tekken worked as an entire game, they had to change
everything to work with rollback net code.
So the majority of stuff that you see in fighting games now, they pre-bake some
frames of animation and then move forward.
That's how rollback netcode works dude. You need to you need to design the game around it
Yeah, Magneto in the MVC collection like breaks the netcode of the game
It's try dashes. He goes from here to there in like zero frames. It's like what the fuck this is looking crazy
Oh, man, that's gonna be a wild match, too.
That's, you know, if we could kind of accept that.
A little less heartbreak, but I do feel like we're gonna have a lot of fun.
ABCF is still in top eight.
We should at least check out the grand finals, uh, or top three.
I'm looking forward to seeing you.
Yeah, multiverse has had a shit ton of input delay by default, too.
I don't get it.
It also just felt worse, like at least from me.
I mean, I didn't play it that much, but I felt the beta for multiverse felt pretty good,
where it's like, oh, yeah, this feels good.
But when it came back, it was slower and it also felt way less responsive.
Just in general.
John Nigg vs Shadow.
Crazy to see Robert is getting a whole bunch of play.
Like a lot.
Oh, Zippy's playing in principle.
I tried it for like half an hour and I'm like this combo is not for me.
Some executives kid said the game was too fast, yeah, exactly.
Pretty much what it is.
Some executives kid got, went online and got his butt kicked by somebody moving way
too fast.
And they're like, slow the whole game down.
need that, um, that's actually really cool that it became like an open source sort of game
sort of project, but they even allowed that to happen.
That's really sick.
I'm surprised that cold wasn't ready to punish that, but I think he was scared of, or he
was anticipating a boost that cancels out of the game, you know, so he had the boost
though.
Things he didn't know at the moment, maybe it's a stressful situation, you know,
On stage, watch out for just the case.
Top 8, you know, up for grabs.
Oh my goodness, Zippy the monster, bruh.
Hey, anyone who's choose, stop training room at home right now.
Try it out.
It's not easy.
And to do it, you know, with everything on the line here on the big stage, like that,
I love the easy getaway here from Elemental.
Definitely something that not a lot of people talk about,
How you know her and Rex have great moves to just go behind in the raw tag out
Get out of here, bro
Right now chillin though
If you brought it back out to lose that some devs kid got obliterated by ultra instinct shaggy
I think I'll show the final two DLC for this game.
Uh, yeah, I know, I think there's a good chance they can show them this weekend.
Yo, Dragon Zord, thank you.
Thanks for the 5-kills subs.
What do you do here, level 3?
Yeah.
Take a bigger lead, go into sudden death.
Should we flip out even after this?
Two to two?
I tried to blaze Lucia.
Enough times to know it's not for me.
That Rex on Zippy's side is very helpful.
Yeah, so right now, Zippy still has a likely go into sudden death for sure.
But if you kill an armman, often you get the incoming mix, maybe you got a chance at sudden death.
That's true, that's true.
This can be Rex!
He forced an early, smart choice from Zippy.
Somebody doesn't do it.
We bought back the armman?
Okay, I don't know.
I don't know because he's...
Sonic D here to focus on 2x KO.
Yeah, that's been his main game.
Yeah, no matter what.
No be Lars! No be Lars! No be Lars! No be Lars!
Battle of the Jazz and Downboard Wands and the Low, that's it, smallest Tekken you can play.
Not one combo.
You're not going to win small Tekken against Otis Dragunov. Just not.
Nice, my favorite, favorite, all-post.
Counter hit, first combo of the set.
Never get the wall, this is Lars we're talking about.
Oh my god.
Good shit.
Oh yeah!
That's my Lars player, alright.
He didn't heat dash. Why did he not get the heat dash?
Oh my god, why didn't he heat dash, bro? What the fuck just happened?
Oh
Why the fuck didn't the heat dash come out I don't get it that happens to me sometimes as well
We go for the top yeah for okay, but spring kicks
Wow
Catching the sidestep tries the orbital over
It's all and Oztip says no like drag it off wiping the dust off his jacket. He's like no, dude
I'm out of here. I'm out bro. It's hot here. Yeah
You said a cold Steve pick over in it
Run in the mirror possibly
Going back and forth the characters are right next to each other Steve. Oh Steve box
It's a hard counter to Lars are now I mean, I guess Dragon off is incredible at small
Tekken like non-commit mental Tekken and Lars is okay at it.
He's definitely not going to beat him in that regard.
Switches to Steve because Steve is a lot better at close range jab and small Tekken.
And by small tech and it's like no big launchers, you know
Whittle their health down by like non-comment mental things
I can't believe he did that
to crazy
No, we probably try to step left things get stepped right into it.
What a crazy call on both sides.
Steve's not around.
Okay.
Again, both parts.
No.
You can't stay with the power crash.
What are you guys saying Steve?
Steve's not around.
Way one minus one to zero on block takes the 12 after.
Uh-huh.
Ooh.
I'm gonna hit three.
Down jabs.
Under the flicker jab.
Exition switch engage.
Brah. Brah. He's bearing the ankles up.
Right, we, car break, it's still not enough.
Oh my god. Check it out.
Oh my god.
If he only did down forward one, he was getting repartished.
100%.
Finishes the strings and starting to work out.
Mixed a 10. Engage.
The switch is still good. Chasing him down.
Assault 2.
Oh!
Just a little too slow.
You have to think about what you need to hit up with.
Just too long to think about it.
Oh, the strings, the third hit, the keep-up scenes of.
What a goddamned duck, dude.
I'll tip running, running to the continuation
of this tournament this next round.
One round away.
Looking to make that talk.
Yeah, have you ever thought about this chat?
We're talking about multi-verses.
Was it the monetization?
Was it the, um, the gameplay slowing down, right?
Was it the big delay between things?
What was the thing that could have saved multiverses?
And the big question around it is, would Ujiro have saved multiverses?
Would Bakki's dad have saved multiverses?
Would that have been it?
If Ujiro was there, if he had turned the multiverses around.
three hundred and sixty degrees I can't even talk
is it crazy
uh-oh wasn't ready for a punish though
ducks under it but just a little low tap
oh wait a minute he's starting to block peas now
he's clipped
run two
low parry he's starting to see it
Set him up for Okie and send it up one, but keep out back for three.
What a thought.
Oh, he could have launched, he had to duck.
He's trying to call for a counter.
Bring Lionheart during heat.
Punish.
Smash.
Heat denial possibly.
Be careful, he's got heat.
Yeah, he's united.
Oh my God, what the hell?
Oh, I'm so clenched.
I got it.
All the full-crush laws.
All of them.
He did get the launch airball.
He's got a second.
He got a second.
You got to catch it out, brother.
You got it.
Isn't it enough, though?
That was a lot of hits.
No, no, no, that's it.
Go back.
He's not dead.
Go back.
He's dead.
I told you he's dead, Chad.
You stupid idiot.
He stays alive.
These are the fists of a chip.
Boxing is awesome
Did you see no
The inhale and exhale bro
He got hit by five lones in a row and then low parries
Oh my god
Oh, let it calm down.
Alright, chill.
Oh, he's getting crazy with it.
He's playing loose?
Masachi!
Looking like a real boxer.
Oh!
Ain't no perfect on the world's bottle.
That is still minus 14 on the extended up 2, but the pushback.
First time leading the way.
Garfield confidence.
Feel the confidence rising, losing out of Nobby right now.
Ah!
Garfield on the wall.
Again!
Again, he's playing with his food down to the pressure of the wall.
You see him hit the show?
Oh my God!
The Lionheart just let him to stand.
Oh God.
Oh my God.
This is crazy.
Oh.
Low in time by the trade.
Uh-oh.
Autop on the attack.
The down two.
We'll be seeing the leaks.
Couldn't right leave there.
Jabs him out of the throw.
Sends him at the dash.
Pushing towards the wall.
Rage art?
Not good!
So you can-
Connish!
Noobie!
One!
Right!
round away. This is crazy. From eliminating
from the tournament, but he was on elimination
point. He had to make the comeback last round, bro.
He was about to be out of the tournament himself.
Yo, peekaboo. I see you. Reborn. Thank you.
Oh my god. Block. Engage. Why didn't he take the shuriken? He went
to flicker. Instead of peekaboo. Sneak it.
Get the heat, Gage.
Flip over.
Oh, is that a juicy?
Oh, it begins.
It begins.
I'm not going to get any life back.
Put the momentum.
Put the momentum in the down two.
OK.
No fear.
Even if you low parry, you won't do it again.
We will do it again.
At the beginning of the game.
To the wall.
This is going to hurt.
70 damage, practically.
Oh
Jory again!
Nobby takes it!
Nobby takes our autumn from EVO 2026!
That is crazy!
That was a great ass match dude, holy shit brother.
Holy shit.
Bro, what did I say?
What a fucking game.
Keep the stove on.
CBM, maybe he's found another gear as well.
It feels a little bit like that like that low high set right now. Maybe figure out maybe figured it out
I'm sure a lot of people in the crowd hopes. That's not the case a lot of people cheering for Ninja killer
That's where they go in low for low low for blow
Well, he'd engage with exhaustion one two down for four
slide
Not scared even though one got blocks
Beepers finally finds a moment for it
Now back to Reed, now back to Reed again, even though he got a big one, whoa!
Set him up for the counter hit.
And we gotta get to the wall?
Put the dash behind him.
No!
Knocked off!
Not a clean one, but the poison arrow gets around on the board here in game two.
And man, if that hit clean, I would have lost my mind.
And three.
Another counter hit, nunchuck.
Man, this dude's sense of timing with this stuff is crazy.
Yeah, CBM is just...
I mean, the most...
That back 2-1 is the most that he's floating in mid-range and controlling it in a round.
Using that nunchuck like a Brian would use like 3 plus 4.
Yeah.
Make hook fist here.
Okay, I'm away.
We have a point like this.
84 damage.
He's working with rage.
Down 4s.
Are we gonna go low again?
in.
Watch out for change the watch out for us.
Just a raise to the down four.
Not up to kill.
Oh, the Super Plus.
I'm getting checks.
The size that with the fact for final round game to Obama.
CBN brain into a game three or Ninja killer gonna take the top eight stage
tomorrow.
Drag hammer and power.
CBM meeting with the dive, they counter hit Scourge, down punch, Roth on side from that
ball.
Scourge that last little bit of meter on the end of the power, Nunshuk.
Ooh, look at the pressure changes.
Now, dude gets blocked.
Should be the upper back to one.
Ooh, armor got eaten.
Finally gets an opportunity to pop it.
Lowe's trying to hit him with a double dragon and gets float in the side that
was before.
They slowed opportunity CBM.
Pop it
People remember all these tech and moves you just play it for a few thousand hours
Actually, you play it for like 20,000 hours over the past five games
20,000 plus hours over the past
stage on Sunday. Somebody gotta get it. Who's it gonna be?
Round one. Fight.
He wants it more. Who can get this wall control?
Round two. Three.
Down four. One is time.
Midge for the back and up.
Counter hits Scourge once again. 45 damage with the follow-up.
Oh, what a duck. On the 4-4-3.
The one came out after what he was so ready for.
Can I get a clean swap this time?
We are to let all down into the standing three little sidestep.
Oh, he tried to get fancy with another wall splat.
No duck on the one to mash is up to one one one and the blue sparks dragging
can in there to finish him off.
Would you kill a back in the lead here?
The square looking for the wall standing four can't get it.
CBM stepping with him to one four.
Good dog in his face.
Counter hit dragon hammer, bringing it down.
Can we get to the wall?
Absolutely. You know where you're going.
One, two, three.
One, two, geez.
Then we activate, now step with them.
The CBN is trying to control this wall.
Right.
You break from CBN, down for one strings.
CBN getting a chance to spread the heat,
the heat smash right here, goes to the low trap.
I might be the first time he brought the parry.
Ninja kill.
Ninja kill a two quick round.
Is it gonna happen?
Set point, Ninja killer.
To make it a top eight low carry from CBF.
Don't get ahead of yourself, kid.
Savage sword, low chop.
Kick them, running three.
Oh, no.
Oh, my god.
I know it's Vegas.
We got house money, bud.
Oh, shit.
Last 14, no planche.
Step it activate.
There's no way.
Only a true mess, OK.
CBM is around the border.
Relax.
Ninja killer still on set point, though.
CBM signs of light.
Superb off the lead.
And CBM is really changing up his approaches.
Yep.
You gotta not let him carry once this time.
He's holding on to that shit.
Get your spin.
Back to one.
Short of wall.
Put the trap to electric.
Got another one dead.
Duck jab.
It's a three.
Stepping left as well.
Stepping left.
Trying to step off the wall.
Now CBM.
Activation!
Camera activate!
All the three mid worked out so well for him.
Blossom mid and truck. Wasted the last bit of CDM timer.
Heat dash in! Nice block! With no wall splat!
Wait a minute! Bloodhawk!
Oh, Blossom lost. Left 4-2s.
Blossom 3 again!
The slide! I don't have to kill one last chance!
Oh, and he went for the down four into the flip kick and
it was hard
But it feels like it's been forever Obama, but we got a US rep on this Tekken a EVO top
But baby baby ninja killer will see you tomorrow on evo top eight stage
That's about to be crazy
You know he wanted that on some level, but baby you got it ninja killer
They've been waiting on it anticipating it not even just in North America, man
They've been talking about them all over the world low key finally
They saw the other screen item beat Jojo Taro's to God. Okay, so he's already you know seasoned well
We know it burst in this matchup. Well, obviously I don't look at this perfect answer when it comes to Manon
I think like his optimization his understanding is just so amazing. He knows how to he knows how to lie about the command
Yeah, that's a great pick but that big combo though. That's the king
Nice over the counter. I like that. He didn't get the safety actually confirmed a lot of people like you understand strong into the jazz
Yeah, that's true. Let's go. Oh school. Okay. That's three medallions right there. No try to check the dry brush
It's no meter spent that combo wasn't even done yet. It was
Another second versus I don't yeah
Okay, he's been going through this
It's so scary to just kind of like go for like perfect parry team for sky even if you know like stand median punch
It's gonna be a thing most of the time. Well, imagine if you didn't do it though
Did you got take a throne? Oh back into the corner? No, we're going for the damage. Yeah
Level three. No, no, no, he wants to kill if he was closer to burn now
I think he would have level three
Okay, but it's no he didn't get a punish there. I don't get a chance spend it. Yes. Oh sing the song
Yes, no my voice is very raspy. Thank you very much. I will kick back
She's not even singing it though, I mean, you know, you got to go with it for a light kick, but she is burned out though
What a challenge
Imagine he's a super though. Yeah, can't press a button there. You can trade though
Try to hold up because of course you're scared the command throw but he gets a medallion
Four on the board go into third round magnificent
Just up the item. I thought you was gonna get washed it
But what a way to answer back for medallion to the play with good check on the overhead. What the hell you doing command
throw that is
Okay, perfect carry very risky to imagine
You got hit by the Commanthal when you tried to go for perfect carry there?
Yeah, he ain't scared of nothing. That man is stoic.
Yeah, that's plus one right there. You can't press a button.
Good anti-air. Yeah, that's gonna hit.
And that's what I was talking about. Get you so scared of the Commanthal.
It turns into great anti-air.
What a comeback from Ivan Domination on the set.
Oh my god. Magnificent!
Manonus. She's so scary.
Is he like one more game away from getting top aid?
Or does he have another setup?
thing is she can make you guess hard she was what I like to call the human
error character yeah look at that immediately to the bison man forget these
this DP I need damage you know but no wake up though I know I know so what
the lady yeah it's one of those things where it's like all right if I'm gonna
pick one more day I might as well play fire with fire so this is a double
edge sword right here oh pressing the buttons going in I don't smells blood
right here. He really does. He's so good at that. Ooh, I actually know that combo. No,
they just scrammed it. Oh, they are wailing the button. They are pressing the button.
Punish. Stand like kick again. Punish counter. Perfect.
And the last time I casted a game. Right now. I'm gonna get a read eventually.
Right now, right now. Command throw against that perfect carry attempt. I'll wake up.
Oh my god. What the hell? It's funny. There's an EVO 2026 category on Twitch
and I cannot find it. Nice bait. Oh my god. There's almost such a grass again. Just
weird
I think it's only for
it's not, not weird
it's co-streaming
yeah I'm on the browse tab what I'm trying to do is put us into that category
and I can't, right I think it's only for Evo channels
yeah
Sure, sure, that we spaced it out.
Okay, driver versa, bomb is still there.
Back heavy kick, that's plus,
can't press a blind there, you gotta take these throws.
Challenge.
Ooh, that caught the tech or a delay button,
what a ambitious overhead.
And it worked out, send with a chance to tie this up.
Great battalions left still though.
So, oh, lucky neutral jump.
And that's really good against Bison.
I feel like in history,
you always want a neutral jump against Bison.
Yes sir, that is definitely key in the proof
for dealing with that man.
a good level one lead. This is just a reset the scenario and just get a little bit of
freedom. Space. Yes. Okay. So Bob right there back heavy kick. Oh no. He's dead. Hell yeah.
He's dead. And with the head stop is cycle crushing. No, not even. Oh. Punisher. How
about that? Okay, we'll take that. That was simple. He's still gonna kill the Gauntlet.
If he did do the here's cycle crushing. No, he actually wouldn't have killed him.
He would not have killed him. Yeah. I don't think he would have built the
line. Yeah, he would not have. He wouldn't have got. And plus he probably wanted to keep
It's safe. That's guaranteed. Jamie makes it in the top eight already. Wow. That's crazy.
Let's go. That's what I like to see. You got to earn your right school to medallions in the pocket.
Nice check. Try to get that back medium kick right though. Oh,
plus one right there. That could have been actually plus two actually the way you hit
media. Oh, nice. The second hit on the counter hit. Of course, immediately no bomb though,
But I like that better meeting with the cycle crush. Yeah. No, it's always a decision. You get to choose. Oh my god
I don't know that's a good question. It was a little bit too far, right? Yeah. I don't know that's a good question
Oh my god. Oh, we dropped it. He didn't think the bomb was gonna pop there
But he still gets the back heavy kick due to the scramble Zen match point. You can't get that. Yes, okay
Maybe he was scared at that moment. This is evil 2026 with that wake up command
If you missed it, oh good check with the tab you've been raised to oh my god
Oh
What a delay
Okay, yes, it's been level two level one actually doesn't been needed
I love the fact that he's sacrificed the metal for the damage
So that set up that he does when he does the driver's low for it. It's all to bait you to jump
Yeah, that's the anti-air on stand. Yep. Let's do in the corner. That's bigger than oh my god
Here we go. This is a good start, bro. Just driver's command though. He's gonna parry
I'm going to be a little angry.
Oh my god. Big damage is coming.
You're going to spend it. No,
here comes the snowball. Okay.
Snowballing Sammy a bunch. Oh,
he don't need to reset now. Oh,
don't panic. I could have been a
command and he should have just
been over the top. He paid it.
Not the fade. He committed too
hard. It's going to be
eliminated right there, but
then it's going to move on.
confirmed right he saw the Perry and then he thought that was an actual hit and then he was a good run
who's up on this one
Branson, BBCF is in losers round one
one. I have not watched much City of the Wolves yet, although the top eight should be very
good
Look at some boys
Oh, what would catch it not sure what that was about kind of self-mated
That side again overhead
32 seconds
But first from lucky pixel of health chip is gonna be effective is all this
That's suffocating neutral from monkey able to close it out
Oh man, that drop at the end there had me kind of sweating.
I mean, that's what they do.
There's like five characters on screen, brother.
You saw how much he was playing in that matchup.
He was like, I do not want to deal with anything
that you're doing.
Yeah, and you know, with good reason, right?
If they never get in, they can never use it, right?
Yeah, exactly.
I'd rather put myself in danger than deal with you.
Oh, and we're going to see that replay presented
by PlayStation Fundaments.
Here's that.
neutral game we saw right there even though they had no barrier well if you
don't touch me I don't have to block right yeah exactly but you know every time
that should he did find his mark it was doing like three thousand damage just
like off of random acid just like that that lockdown so impressive to right like I
do think even though they're playing name a lot of the time they found their
times to go in right yeah that's what makes it so challenging because you
know it's hard to anti-arrest the game but now you don't know when she's
Invincible is in top 24. I think most of the matches in Invincible led to timeout.
There's a lot of damn timeouts.
Let me hear the twins commentate to XKO.
one more match to go.
Only one more player to make it into Top 8,
and that will be between Poker and Zane.
Believe it or not, this is the last match.
No, actually, this is the last match
to see who Top 8 is, so.
Well, this has made it, give us the name.
So, on this stream, as we just saw,
Noka 2-1 over Blazy, Hikari 2-1 over Jakey the Snakey,
so Hikari is in Top 8.
Globo 2-1 over Wawa.
So, Globo is in top 8, Wawa is eliminated.
Yo, Blue, Seymuz, thanks for the five gift subs. Appreciate it.
Thank you for hanging out.
Looking to see if there's any updates or things I missed out on, Chad.
I'm trying to refresh Twitter.
So, the players got really close, but all of them fell at near enough the final level, except Nuka.
Good jab, actually.
Where we go? What's that?
It's hard to get up there in time.
Did you anything about that, Robotic?
If you're a little too slow, you're gonna eat a die.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, those are hugely...
God, that hurt.
Yo!
God, that hurt.
Yeah, you spent so much boost on it.
Totally worth it.
Yeah, when you have Omni-Man on your team hitting on either side of the guests, you're
basically doing a TOG for one guest.
Oh, good fallout.
Man, this is what I say.
Stop them doze it before you man. It's like if something doesn't go well. Hold on. Let me lock in real fast
This game play like another wrong game. No, no
He was ready to go in and play, just to sustain his death.
Yeah, and that combo does a shit ton of damage.
8 second match, that's crazy.
That's the fastest I've seen so far on the screen.
This is a top 9 match, you know, that's insane.
I mean, this shows you optimization.
It shows you how bad Omni-Man hurts right now.
He's Omni-Man.
One game apiece.
I want the unblockable ultimate back.
Yeah.
It's almost done.
Oh, no.
Yo, Danny, thanks for the 10. Appreciate it.
Just hanging out.
The Omni-Man's always been very good in this game.
He's always been, usually, on most of my teams.
Dwayne, so what's the combo here?
We're gonna see more tech.
Any of them dash cancel.
He dropped it. He dropped it down M.
He tried to do quarter circle back L
The closest game this compares to is like Marvel versus Capcom like Marvel versus Capcom 3 is
There's obviously differences but like if we're talking the one game it's the
closest to probably Marvel 3 Marvel 3 with generally shorter combos until you
really start unlocking the abilities of teams.
No it's if I've played about Power Rangers Battle for the grid it might
Looks similar to battle for the grid, but it is not no
BFTG plays like a very specific way
Then it doesn't not not a month of me at least
Yeah, the tagging is NBC I like
But the overall way like the game the games approaches is much closer to like a Marvel 3
to believe it or not it's a lower power Marvel vs. Capcom 3 if that doesn't make sense it's
pretty much NBC 3 but like without like all the crazy bullshit it's like it's a lot more
contained it's less like insane like giant full-screen fireballs and supers and beams
and things that fly all over, like, MVC is kind of crazy in comparison. This really isn't.
You know, you really got to figure it out.
More fair, less loose, more like...
Characters just don't have as crazy of tools. Like, compared to like a Dragon Ball or a Marble
versus Capcom, characters have like screen... characters in MVC games, like everything is mostly
safe outside of like dragon punches um everything's mostly safe and characters have full screen
fucking moves like wesker as a super where he can hit you from anywhere on the screen
at any point and it covers the whole screen and unless you're very specific characters
he can't be punished like yeah like there's there's not a lot of that in this game there's
not a lot of like just do this big thing you gotta like work your way in and get
damage and shit. There's no cable or anything like that.
I mean, you know, you give someone a chance.
They're just going to look at things a little differently.
Oh, man. But guys, we got to take a short break
before we find out who the rest of the competitors are.
As you play, Mark, no, there's a reason why you don't see Mark anymore at all
because he's like very toned down.
Mark had invincible punch and that was about it.
Like those kind of about it.
And now that's been toned down a lot.
like now it goes like significantly less distance things are doing way less damage all that kind of shit
there's honestly one of the reasons i kind of like stopped playing is because
like so much of the game that was the game that it was had changed and it became much more
like controlled like much more like plays this specific way you know
I
Thoughts on the colleague I played her when she came out I didn't like her very much
It's funny cuz she also has like a long-range chain move in some of her normals
And I like the long-range chain moves way more in Thresh personally Thresh is just so much goddamn fun
Now this is where Zayn has had a lot of control previously.
Then for a rest scarf. Nah, it was her gameplay.
Then like the way she played.
Waker Poker just seemingly just not wanting to block a wake up under any circumstances.
Or massive damage.
Never doubts the range of that 2H.
Poker has just made it his mission to...
Akali felt like a character if you're playing a lot of 2XKO, you'll probably really like her.
Pretty much.
And I think that's mostly been the case like she's been adopted by most people that are like really into the game
Thresh was one of those characters that I think did a pretty good job at being really interesting at least for me personally
If you're not really into 2x ko. He's a character that was like an adopter
And yeah, I think he's mad fun, dude
You like her at all no no, did you not see the stream I
Did a few of her combo trails and I'm like I'm not having fun
I'm not having fun with this and then like as a comparison and then Thresh came out and
I was in the lab before like two and a half streams with Thresh.
It was crazy.
I just kept finding shit.
There's just so many cool things he could do.
It was like holy shit, bro.
I had such a good time.
I was hooked.
It became like the DBS Broly for me of this game.
I've just been doing I haven't been able to play that much but I've been doing nothing but watching 2x ko for like two weeks now
It was just crazy fun
Cooktie says shut up chat. I'm a father. Okay
Yeah, I'm glad I found a character that I really vibe with yeah, I really do I
Really do I
Was just I'm like I could play this game, you know, and I can play this game and have a good time now
screen as well at the corner. Ooh, what a wake-up. That was just a good old-fashioned read.
Okay, now insane with the wake-up.
Oh, it whiffs. I like. Okay, it was good for Zane to recognize that whiffs completed.
Ooh, where do you get some coffee? Fantastic position to be in.
How do you get some coffee? I've been doing this for a while now. I've been here for seven hours.
Is the team Thresh 4 awake? No, currently Thresh Darius.
Pick up from it the very least able to salvage a throw out of it
Oh three second cooldown and one more to our quiz and we're three the counter
Just completely with but no punish on deck either
Oh, no, we have to make it to the scramble but poker able to stabilize and now we're going down to potentially the last character
Unless they can do something about it right now poker is going to top eight the time is running out
And time might already be zero as poker gets to the head if you don't drop this combo
You are going to top eight and yes, you are indeed
poker that was a
Weird round that was definitely getting highly stressful
But poker was able to to get the better of it in the end immediately goes to the support of the Japanese community
Yeah, love to see it. Oh
Wow, you know they were cheering you know they were looking for that and that guarantees there is a second
Entrance from Japan in top eight tomorrow fantastic stuff. I actually believe that might have just been signaled in the crowd
By poker what a wonderful display. What a new Josh and Gerd damn
Kind of coffee do I use I have a
What is it called Nespresso virtual machine I like it a lot, but I'm getting kind of sick of it
Yeah, I mean I've had I've been using it for like four maybe five years
Virtua Nespresso it's like ver to you. Oh, but I like Virtua my virtual Nespresso. Yes
I'm about to just get like
I'm like sort of think about it where it's like and they're not that expensive
It's like it's like you can give them for like a hundred and fifty bucks
And it is great, but the coffee pods are expensive
I'm kind of like I think I want coffee from like freshly ground beans, you know, and I might just want to get like
Like a big machine, you know full brew coffee. That's what I drink like 80% of the time is pulled brew coffee
Yeah, I can do pour overs, but
Black and strong all they knob bitch. I need like I put I put oat milk in it to soften it up
And then I add like a little bit of like sweet-ass like creamer a little bit of sweet ass. I can't do black coffee
Getting a French press yeah, I tried French presses a few times. It's good
but I also like, I also don't have that like,
I need it quickly.
Like sometimes I need some fucking coffee
and I don't want to like make it, you know?
Which is like why Keurig's and Nespresso machines
are valuable.
So I'm like, I just might like,
what's the upgrade from that?
And I might have to just get like a nice machine
that does like all that shit and just like put it in there,
grind that bitch up, press the button,
give me some fucking hot coffee, you know?
or give me some iced coffee or some shit.
I need an espresso, I think I just need an espresso machine.
Like considering how much coffee I drink,
at least like two cups of coffee a day,
I'm like, I should just do that.
That's one thing I use a lot.
Like that would definitely get value out of that, you know?
It'd be expensive, but it would be like a thing
that you use every day, you know?
Like every goddamn day.
My Starbucks now Starbucks tastes like dog water sometimes
Starbucks can be really good and sometimes it tastes like fucking dog water burnt dog water. Yeah
It's just I used to be a fan of Starbucks and it's so convenient and nice don't get me wrong
But like it's a hit or miss dude
Like at times it can just taste bad
Well, maybe that that was one season was so great
She's like Jake wasn't it really depends you have to they have to run the gamut
Good coffee makers like a good mattress, that's what I mean. Yeah, that's exactly what I mean
It's like your chair like invest in a good chair, right?
Invest in the things that you use daily
Like your vehicle your your your clothes at times
Yeah, your shoes.
You're a kid stick.
Yeah.
No, to be completely honest.
Yeah.
Oh, you're hot past the rod because of the cinema.
Pull up the YouTube stream and it's like an hour behind you.
Is that normal?
Oh, you got to click the live button on it.
And it'll, it'll bring you up.
Right.
Which is usually what girl likes to go for.
You know, there's really not any fast coffee that's good.
No. No. Don't tell me that.
What a conversion.
It helps make too much garbage.
With Nespresso, we recycle the pods.
So we literally take like a big ass bag of the Nespresso virtual pods back to the mall
and just like hand them to them and they're like, thank you.
Because there's Nespresso stores in like all of the malls now.
So they recycle the pods
But yeah, like you know, that was an issue with Keurig machines that they make so much waste
Like it does give you a message like hey you need to scale this bitch if you don't scale your machines then
Water damage is gonna happen. You need a water scaler
I'm sorry descale did I say scale
But your brand I recommend the one that I use is a Herman Miller
I see Obama chair, um, I was fucking forget the name of it
You can buy me use chat will tell you what it is the not the embody no the Aaron. Yeah, the Herman Miller Aaron
Just Google and Obama chair. I'm not even kidding you Google Obama chair and you'll find it and it's the
This is my favorite chair. It's my favorite chair. I just I'll just sit in it forever
Not a gamer chair, it's not a gamer chair
It's real easy to be a cool guy when they're gonna play more Star Fox
No, I think I got we might play it with the dudes at some point
But I think I got as much out of that as what I wanted
I had a good time with it. I had a really good time with it
And honestly, maybe want to play Star Fox 64 again
This is the question mark right because I think on the surface you look at you say, okay, one last kick just robot
Oh, are they really expensive now? Yeah, our Herman Miller's two to three thousand bitch. I got mine for 800 new
Holy shit, but that was like in 2021. Yeah, I got mine for 800 brand new
They're two to three K now. They doubled I
Would recommend the five you know what I think if you are curious on like a really good ergonomic chair
If you get a $500 used one that might be better than new and there's a good reason for that
It's kind of like a shoe
Where this this chair will cut you up a whole bunch like it'll be very uncomfortable in the first few months
That you have it and if it's not broken in it's not very it's not very comfortable
I thought I made like the worst decisions ever
Yeah, exactly strip you get it when you first when you first get a an Aeron chair
You're like, oh, this is not that great.
It's not comfortable.
Like, you're like, oh, my back, oh, this, like, ee, ah.
And it feels like sharp and kind of cumbersome.
And then three months later, I just didn't even think about it.
It was like, great.
So once it's broken in a little bit,
I'd argue refurbished is even better.
Nice counter-tag here from Josh.
Got me?
Yeah, no, because it's made of plastic, right?
It's got like plastic pieces all over the place.
So if you sat on your, if you sat on a leg or a foot,
you guys would hurt.
It feels very stiff.
aggressive or not aggressive people get after it's just breaking you through because if you get the combo going you can tag out
You know with an active tag or you can leave it out and like a catcher's mid
For your ass
So, you know either answer could be right, but one is a lot more risky
Sit on balls got it
Sitting on balls
He's gonna definitely come in he's gonna get aggressive during that
Now there doesn't have any bar on his side less than a bar. I could do it too
Just looking good for girl
I got you all around you're gonna have to deal with me
I'm not gonna speed up.
My toe. Definitely just...
You just sit on your nuts.
Jesus Christ, I was gonna say that money!
He just sat on your nuts.
Oh, Greg's got it. He's like, I just sat on his nuts.
He said, not my toe. You end up your toe really good.
He said, not my toe. I'm like, no, it's not my toe.
You sat on your balls.
At the same time.
Yeah, check this out.
Switch sports.
Is that a problem?
sports game. It's like seven sports games though. So the only thing I saw that bowling
team that Jenny had talking about I was expecting a McChicken situation. Just saw a bowling
can slap a bowling ball and then do a cherry a bowling ball and then do a raging demon
against it. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. That's
Like it's the bowling ball right? Yeah
you're right
anyway I'll shut up
what do you show you nothing
Luke is not dead though.
Luke lived.
He had just enough health.
But 9 seconds is not going to recover much anyway.
He's not going to recover enough, but the robot's got a lot of health.
Oh my God.
This is so intense.
This is down to the wire.
Again, you're just trying to escape from Rex.
I mean, Rex is...
Punish!
Gets a throw.
Not going to get much else here.
One second left.
They're going to go into the sudden death situation.
Oh my goodness.
Here we go.
Nerd Josh trying to come back.
Who's making it to top 8 for EVO?
We got Robot with tons of health.
He's gonna be bringing him in here.
Smart choice, smart choice.
Right back to the bulletproof.
Wait a second, he's dead.
He called the act.
Both of them are alive.
It's up to Robot and Rex now.
He's keeping him alive.
It's all about the Robot match right here.
This is all it's about.
Oh my goodness, Merjosh snapped him and he's dead.
Now the Robot, it's all up to this.
Robot, he's got the combo.
He's got level three as well.
He's been level three.
I don't know. Oh, did he get hit? No, he blocked it.
He's got to love his own. Oh, my goodness.
Nerd Josh, the three on one comeback to qualify for the top
made of EVO.
Seven, golden lad.
Damn, bro.
Josh has been practicing this game, too.
It was just a right decision after right decision.
And it was just the composure that Nerd Josh had when
it came.
He's been practicing.
Uh, did I lose all my streams?
Oh, we're getting there chat
Get in there
Absolutely one of the best in the game right Danny's just so strong right in the way he approaches obviously a strong chi player
from guilty guest drive so he's going to bring that wealth of knowledge over into
City of the Wolves with his Billy Kane as we get a button check here of course
but I don't know I'm gonna take this one this is losing side and I wouldn't call
us an upset at all but it'd be crazy if Danny was not to make top eight because
I feel like he's been winning so many tournaments he's been placing very high
at many others well if you look at his liquid media from this year alone
he's got so many top three finishes right so if Danny would have used
this and not get top eight I think that'd be kind of crazy you know we'll see
though we'll see but we're we're on loser's side so yes there's the constant
danger for that situation so okay let's see of course we're gonna stay with
Mr. karate and be there's not going to be any change I don't think even if
Danny loses the first match you don't see like a lot of changes so I mean
I think it's gonna it's gonna come down to this it's gonna be I mean
Danny showed earlier how like practice he is at dealing with the counter right like weeding it out neutral jumping trying to bait it
We'll see how well that plays into effect in here. Oh
Yeah, so here we go
Okay, keep work so it's fine fine done is like okay, okay, she book is
The counter hit ready waiting waiting exactly for the troubles
the other side. Unfortunate.
He got Danny taking his way
immediately back dashing out.
He was looking for possibly
counter or talk to you right.
Just get out of dodge there.
There it is.
Spacing himself properly makes
it a little easier because
you're Billy Kane.
You have a wide hitbox range on
your farm.
See, but still great adaptation
adaptation from Danny.
Oh nice.
Oh, OK.
Oh this guy.
He's so good.
Oh, but no punish.
What happened there?
OK, don't worry.
Don't worry.
We still got it.
We're in a huge, like, advantage, uh, one bar ready.
And let's go for the next round.
Let's get it over with.
That was the flames of Sonaro.
Sonaro's gonna have to come correct here.
Danny's gonna fight.
Hey, hey.
Chat, take a drink for every hey-hey.
Oh, no, no.
I'll be at the floor.
Cut the camera back.
I say it'll just, like, pass out on the floor.
Oh, my God.
It is like a meter for the Mr. Karate player.
Point.
We're going to figure out.
OK, nice.
Church, thanks for the five gift subs earlier.
I missed you.
Jockey, Sumo, appreciate it.
Recruiting, Elisted Donut, Phil Baby, Lemon Force,
and Geohan, McCreedy, and Brist Rockets.
Thanks, dudes.
Welcome.
Welcome back.
From Sinaru, that distance.
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to get Danny to jump,
but Danny's just, he's so chilling.
You know what I mean?
He doesn't need to advance early at all.
He's in such a cruise control kind of mindset right? Like a pilot if you will, he's in control of his entire flight here.
With the headrest for the chair worth it for me, yes I like the headrest.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What a jail stupid, okay, with no guard council.
He's gonna build a super meter in time for this confirmed. Just enough, barely!
Oh my god, yes!
There it is, there it is, one more.
The DP of course, AK, really?
The overhead.
I don't know.
Going directly through Eden or Double Equation.
Okay, Double Equation, that's it.
The next one is going to go.
Oh my God, you're ready for Danny.
Nicely done.
Thankfully that wasn't command grab,
because I definitely would have smoked his ass.
But, we do got the high dodge.
We take that one.
Danny, compose, swig of water, hydrate yourself.
You do the same as well.
as well as Sonaro. Sonaro though. He kind of shook. He said, yeah, I get it. You know, I understand great defensive capabilities on the side of Danny Almaza.
And look at him. He's walking in. He's walking in.
Yeah, I did hear the blade thing. People got high resolution images of the Tokon stage and blade is totally in the background. I know.
It's not gone, but it's not looking great.
Okay, it's not it's not jover, but it's not looking great for team midnight signs
Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't does it can matter, but it also doesn't not matter, you know
Usually in starting rosters like maybe eventually I should can change
Ice skating uphill blade. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we have a bet on it. We have a bet on it. 25
gift subs for the blade. 75 that the full team revealed. Yeah.
Yeah, Storm is in one background.
She is.
It mostly depends on their design, you know.
If it's an original design, like a hero design, that's important.
Oh, he walks in time!
It lingers for so long, and now he's in over heat.
We might have to rely on hitting gear possibly, Hasegawa, as we go down to 9 seconds of
the clock.
It's going to get neck there, he jumps, and he catches him on the way up.
There he goes, awesome.
Not enough, not enough wrong.
Not enough, not enough.
I know, we gotta watch a little bit more.
But look, he got his meter back, which is so good.
He can break down the guard here.
Yes.
He tried to do something.
He tried to look for the gap, but no.
No, Blade is not in a fighting mode yet.
Practically impossible in that situation.
Just made me trying to, to spend the bar,
but okay, one, two, and two, hey, hey.
Just defend.
Yes, one grab.
Let's go.
Oh, the jumping D.
We might not even get a trailer for that chat, like we might not, we might have to wait till
Comic-Con for that trailer.
Is the next Tokon team all new guys, no no, the next team is three new characters.
that we have not seen before because it's Ghost Rider's team and whatever team Ghost Rider has
if it's Midnight Suns or whatever has not been revealed just Ghost Rider and it's the biggest
question of like who the hell would this team be?
Oh be careful with those lights yeah yeah he means the Red Bull and then he's like oh my god
Mr. Karate, Mr. Karate.
Couldn't believe it, right?
But he does it, Danny El-Masa.
Perfect spacing at the end for the EX3 pole.
He was expecting, I think he was expecting
Tatsu possibly, right?
You see, very, very strong shows of art.
You're seeing like so many of the advantage
he's taking right now, right?
He knew ability, his Fuku's defense has been so strong.
He's able to use damage as a offense
against the kind of get started, right?
Yeah, he's seeing that like,
Well, just so you know, it doesn't have like a personal ability, just by defending himself, he's been able to do a lot of work to kind of give us free opportunities.
Yeah, no, BlazeBlood is not very well known.
Is Arx just having a panel at Comic-Con?
Um, I don't know if they'll have a panel, but Marvel will definitely have presents, you know?
Marvel will definitely be at Comic-Con in Marvel games, also.
So it's also that, it's not just an Arx's game, it's a Marvel games game, you know?
now you actually don't want the link in the chat for all the combined evo streams because
most of them are not working anymore and they will not be coming back it's like a few it's
like evo uh six seven two and one that's it all these all these dudes are done or
About to be done. God damn it, chat.
Shut up. Please shut up. Please be quiet.
You have to shut up.
Swidgey, thank you. Dr. Gruber, appreciate it.
You have to be quiet, chat.
Please, God.
That's what I'm trying to understand.
We've come so far also shots with the eskidion diamond in the background
And this is this is what the internet is guys. This is the internet
Can you go back just hit the back button?
I mean obviously I'm not gonna
I forgot where he was going to go on Blue Waffle, I've never seen what Blue Waffle is.
So I've been a Googling on Dreamcast.
No!
That's right!
We need the lore.
We need the Lord
I hope this doesn't work
This is what we need
Oh, okay, now I found some shit
This is terrible. It was legit terrible. INSIGHT GAINED. INSIGHT PIP! It goes up one notch.
Oh, it was the fucking awful I tell you what
Plus 99 insight the giga insight the big one
Oh my god, hold these for me.
When somebody's not ready to punish the fate attacks
that don't get, you know, bit.
Yeah.
Is there a game I'm itching to play after watching Evo?
Soulcalibur 6 so far.
Oh my god, I'm dead.
Soulcalibur 6.
I still, like, right now, like, the games I'm itching
to play the most are pretty much SC6 and 2XKO,
because I want to play more Thresh.
Brother.
Soulcalibur 6 looks like it's so much run.
Game just looks like it's a fucking blast.
for the wrong reason. That time, just waiting for the faint and it didn't happen. Cold making
it top 8. Invincible does have a stream safe mode that turns down the gore, they just don't
have it on right now. Specialist, but that's what we're gonna see, we're gonna see those
setups refined perfectly tonight for that top 8, I hope. I mean, that was sick. Cold
is bringing the character variety that we're always looking for. So many people
say you know these characters aren't good they can't do anything and he did it man he did it and
you know went toe to toe with some of the Kevin versus go good uh hey rock versus kim let's go
set up right there it puts you in the in the otg state which is why he's able to get the dash
up running low it's so funny but uh shadow x beautiful sequence right there staying on top
oh my god oh nice counter hit pressing buttons stopping him yes air thru another air thru
Be careful of Omar is getting a little desperate in this situation
Yes, but that hesitation close. He actually works out in his favor
And it's a good approach. This is taken. I mean donkwa wants to he wants to do all of that funky stuff
In the sky. So he's looking at his dog not camp
There's opportunity and yes the crouching life kicks
One more we're still
Oh my god, the fans, he's going to go to the live kids, he's going to continue the pressure
I cry
Time to stream in tomorrow? I pretty much got to start streaming much earlier tomorrow
because, chat, when does the first top 8 start? I think there's going to be announcements
almost immediately
It's really early, yeah
It's really early, right?
It's 10am, yeah
Calibur is at 1030
2x chaos at 10 Pacific time. Yeah, so one o'clock Eastern
Vsav is also at 10 it's crazy that we're gonna get like three games in their top eights at 10 o'clock in the morning
And just like sitting watch one we're gonna have to hover them all
You have to do that. We don't mind speaking soon. Red low, maybe hitting here. Let's go over heat right now.
One of the top eights. Vampire Savior here. Soul Calibur 6.
Trying to break the guard of Shadow X, right? He wants to hold on to Preserve Shadow Savior.
Tail Fury City of the Wolves. Street Fighter 6. Tekken 8. 2XK0.
Still, we got an over heat boat for both of them.
Yeah, 2XK0, V7 and Vincible are all in the same block.
Critical situation! What's happening?
The dudes will come over eventually. I'll hit them up, but I'll start streaming as early as 10
Oh good
Time isn't for me right now. It's nine o'clock. He's delayed the high it went down for like eight hours ish
Yes, he's six is a side bracket. Yeah
Again, this is the first of two. Top eight tomorrow will be three out of five.
No, Kenny and Steve, I think we're coming back tonight.
But that's what makes the game harder to play.
You don't have to change the room for error.
You need to win, too.
Pretty much. If everybody can make it, then we'll stream it together.
If everybody can make it.
Let's go. Nice rotation.
If not, everybody can make it, then I'll just stream by myself.
Oh, now for D. Yes.
High dodge at any moment.
Yes. I'm not going for the shimmy this time.
Yeah, we'll just like order food and drinks and shit like that.
I really wanted to today. I do want to. I know there's a lot of footage that's up
today already of all the characters and all the invincible stuff, but to find a good chance
it would be fun to play it on stream with the guys if we do get that opportunity.
The Simons is around and down if the other guys are also too. Pretty much it's in all
or nothing situation. I don't want to keep Simmons around for like nine hours or some
shit. I'll just go by myself.
He said I ain't doing no work, I'm letting these figures...
Ooh, nice way, nice way to interrupt there, I'll go actually.
Oh, what a dash, gee.
Oh, Yasmin demo, no, that didn't end up happening this year, I tried.
Um, and apparently you can play Yasmin at the Capcom booth, but there was no recording allowed.
So it's hands-on only.
Like there's no footage allowed at all.
definitely interesting it's so tricky right that air movement from Don Juan
obviously working in the favor of obo more he has a gala set point no recording
a normal rule not really not historically no worry 50% of the
shallow life it's gone right now nice hyper difference with a crack counter
That was good and both of the crowd counter to right now pretty much have he has been that evil just
Playable and that's it
We had to cut a short again revving up all the way to NBM. Thanks for the bits dude
Go straight to Moon Knight Morbius and Dr. Strange. Morbius would be a wild take
After the movie
Oh wait, oh he's gonna go out here to wall.
This is not gonna be it, of course.
No more knockdown, we'll do it here.
We're gonna go for SPG.
Oh, we're gonna go for super, the full on extension.
He still has enough chance to go for SPG.
So we're gonna keep it simple.
One more, be careful, Shadow.
What are you gonna do?
Damn, bro.
It's in the brown room.
Get in your ass, get in your ass.
No, Buu is doing a bit like, no, why is this
keep happening?
I don't, I think, so, I don't know.
I don't want to get in the mind of the player, but I feel like he just did that string and immediately was like
Why did I do this right because it was almost instantly like
Instantly see it's C and D to release that
There's not a whole not only a whole other character before Tifa. There's multiple characters before Tifa
Arjun and
Yasmin are before Tifa. Tifa will not be around until 2027. You're not gonna see her until 2027.
Bosch is the last one. Right? Bosch is in spring. He's the last one.
It goes Yasmin, Arjun, Tifa, Bosch.
Bosch is spring.
Shadow Wax unable to really press a button in that realm. Makes a lot of sense that Tifa might be early
2027 to possibly line up with another little video game that might be coming out
This could be it. So nice. Back jump. Don't worry. I got you.
He's trying to get that Wild Punish start right off the Fardy. What a hit. That was beautifully done.
Tifa, our Tifa gameplay trailer was most likely at the TGAs, yeah.
He keeps interrupting the elbow. So I think he has the options. The idea, again, the crack counter with the hyper defense.
one more shining knuckle let's go in any time a shinkunagi at goman grab
we should have slow walk there
there's a thing there's a reminder though where it's like even if you get a tifa trailer at tga is
i don't think she's coming out um the there's like a three week period i think in december to
january where japan is just gone we're like nobody is working on anything right he's been
So the entire industry, the entire Japanese video game industry just shuts down for a very long winter break, like two to three weeks.
So you have to wait until mid-January for them to show up.
Shadows right? He definitely did elbow or more though again the emotion. I love
them see the players. Oh my god. There it is. Yeah, and I believe this puts them
in. I'll be back for token release. Of course. Yeah, I'll be back in town evolution.
And so many of the players look at the Falcon's crew walking over birds of
as they say, hugging it up there.
They'll hold me will see them in France.
Just very surely actually,
I will mark qualifies for EWC.
I mean, he's been grinding and trying.
I've seen him at so many events and to
be able to push it through Hosea with
this character with Don Juan,
a character that is not considered in
anyone's top eight,
let alone top 10 to push this
character to the boundaries that he has.
I will mark a sins to the top flies
along with his falcons brothers and
You'll see them in France, but more importantly, you'll see them tomorrow in Top 8.
Dude's care. They care about their game, you know?
It's not about how many viewers. They don't give a fuck about Steam charts.
They don't care how many sales it had. It doesn't fucking matter.
It's their game.
They give a shit.
It's all that matters. It's what the FGC actually is.
we get this close obviously we're competitive we both want to win but i have to give you your
props if you dart rip what's going on over here those are semis crazy central fiction
I just buy the game for that, I mean if you, City of the Wolves has plenty of issues, but
it's a great fighting game, so a genuinely really good game, and it goes on sale a lot
to. So, you know, keep an eye out for that.
They read the Street Fighter 6 IGN interview. Is there anything spicy in it?
Oh, it's eight bucks. It's pretty good.
There's a lot of sales that happened during EVO weekend chat.
IGN says no shakeup, but my bet,
My bed on the shake up what my shake up bro my shake up trailer 100 gift subs
They say no shake up. We're denying my shake up trailer. They're denying you your gift subs chat. Come on
3,500 devs have no current plans to make Annie
chrome chrome that my love windows 11 it is an incredible program chrome
I love Windows 11 and Chrome, it literally can't move it, there we go.
My computer came back guys, don't worry about it.
It's now three years old and going strong.
More than 2,000 entrants, Evo Vegas, talking about the current state of the game and plans
for the future.
He said there will be no more future world tour updates, at least at this point,
It also indicated that Street Fighter 6 is aiming for a 10-year lifespan.
Can you talk a little bit about the kind of things you're planning and adding to the game
to keep that life cycle going, apart from just new characters?
Take a step back real quick.
One thing we want to make clear in this interview is that there may have been a small misunderstanding
in terms of the future plans of Street Fighter 6 rather than being a 10-year life
plan.
Yeah, no, no, like, yeah, they're not saying they haven't, okay, without even
reading what he said they pretty much probably said something along the lines
of like yeah we want to support our game for like 10 years that'd be great so if
it's like they have a plan for it they would love that they would probably like
that so let's see what he says rather than being a 10-year life plan or a
roadmap from our perspective we try to tackle Street Fighter 6 as a game that
could last up to 10 years and there you go
Tokon said the same shit yeah it got misconstrued that like they would
like the game to last 10 years, but that is not exactly what they said. It would be it would be
amazing if it did. There's no sort of confirmation that this is going to be a 10-year project rather
we went into the development with the mindset that we would love to have Street Fighter 6
operating for 10 years. So I just want to make sure that's clear.
Yeah. Yeah, people are going to try to yeah, yeah.
In terms of what we can do moving forward, there's a lot of specific details that we
can share at this moment is going to be quite difficult in terms of World Tour.
That is something that we wanted to continue expanding upon.
But aside from that, there are other things that we are currently looking into and hopefully
we'll have more info to share at a later date.
Oh, okay.
Interesting.
They're not like, offing World Tour entirely.
Safe to say that the future of single-player content is still bright?
Yeah.
There's a lot of things we want to do. Certain things are out of their control.
It's because we want to do something that doesn't necessarily mean that it can be realized,
but we hope that we can deliver.
And there's a lot of new players, so we hope that we can accommodate those people's needs.
Um, with development resources, presumably we'll be freed up from not having to do world tour stuff,
uh, for every character that comes out.
Do you envision there will be any change in either the frequency or offerings of DLC in the future of Street Fighter 6?
So to clarify, again,
While there may have been people working on World Tour in the past,
and just because those people, I guess,
bend with maybe Freed Up, doesn't necessarily mean that they could easily transfer those resources into something completely different.
Ha ha!
I- it's crazy that chat. I feel like I said this exact line of dialogue before.
Where it's like,
people that are good at doing one thing doesn't mean that the people can do something else.
The chefs don't turn into mechanics.
Like...
Like, all of a sudden, um, anyway, uh, because world tour development required a complete unique skill set,
those skill sets may not necessarily transfer over to the content creation or other things.
So it doesn't necessarily equate in that sense.
Damn.
Um, speaking of content, I know people have been really excited about new costumes.
I know when Ingrid was introduced there were jerseys of characters, there are any plans to sort of focus on new costumes, bring more outfits.
Yeah, so we do plan on delivering great outfits, costumes,
equally amount of existing characters.
We have a high-quality benchmark that we're trying to achieve
and make sure that we reach that.
So we hope we can get the patience of players out there.
This is something we're striving for.
We're going to see Yasmin here at Evo.
But the remaining DLC characters of this pack
are new to the series.
And thus, we really don't know if I have any idea
how they're going to play.
Could you give us a tease?
So in terms of fighting style, what
you can expect about their play style,
we can say that definitely feel unique
different from the existing roster. Arjun is very unique character that's going to
feel different from everybody else and we can't go into specifics but I will say
that there will be some kind of dancing element to his gameplay. Whoa cool.
Cool. In terms of Tifa, we did speak previously at SGF that she'll utilize
some of sort of materia and from the FF7 she will be different but have a
fighting style that translates into the world of FF7. As for Bosch, those
enjoyed World Tour. He's one of Luke's disciples. When you were able to fight
against him and able to see his fighting style through World Tour, you got a
completely different style. He will have a completely different style from World
Tour. So you can expect something unique and different from that. I know when
you previously spoke, there weren't any plans to introduce any new mechanics
because you're happy with how the game is. It seems like the player base,
at least in the West, is wanting some changes to drive systems, specifically
drive rush. Are there any plans to sort of tweak that particular mechanic
And how much do you take player feedback into consideration when you balance or patch?
So none of our dev team is allowed to use Twitter ever
He didn't say that I made that up. So in terms of the sort of major adjustments to system mechanics the drive system as of now
There's no plans to make any sort of changes and to answer your question in terms of how much we listen to our feedback
It is something that we do pay attention to we see people make comments on social media. Oh god
I don't know surveys and whatnot and that's something that we do listen to and while we take into consideration
We saw a pretty large battle team to actually analyze those requests and test through several battles through the battle team to determine whether or not it's right
And not only that we also pay attention not just the pro tournaments, but the casual tournaments kind of like influencer new challenger tournaments
Stuff like that. We make decisions based on the wide spectrum of how it could affect things
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I was able to not discover blades in the loser.
Bringing back Yasmin for a second, I think a lot of people are really excited about the character Filipino representation.
We can talk a bit more about the significance of having Filipino rep and Street Fighter.
Cool. Yasmin designed stuff.
Cool. Yeah, absolutely.
And with that being said, we're going to go ahead and go do another short break with Loser's Finals coming out right after this.
Do you enjoy the process of creating a character from scratch for games like Street Fighter
6?
Or do you like the challenge of taking an existing character and molding them into a new Street
Fighter 6 mold?
Okay.
Yeah, that's pretty much the biggest news bits.
Have you handwritten your letter about how you want the battle mechanics to be changed?
It depends if you have their address.
And if they're accepting letters chat all I gotta say is if there is ever a survey and
boy howdy does Capcom love their surveys.
If there ever is a Street Fighter 6 survey and you care about things changing you better
fill that shit out.
There's one right now you better.
I asked them to their faces about this shit.
they said to me that it's a matter of like timing it's not a matter of like
when do they plan to or is there a plan immediately more than it's a matter of
timing when this stuff would feel right so that's what I asked them
specifically about this and the best way to get your question directly to the
devs if not your concerns is in Capcom's understanding surveys it's
definitely surveys bro and Capcom likes they they definitely like asking you
questions about their games through surveys, that's for sure.
Um, anyway,
that's um, that's a bit different than even, uh, the
previous things they were saying to be real, maybe they're
just getting real with it.
Even they're not being coy about it anymore.
Right.
Maybe they're just being like honest.
There's a major, major new system mechanics, the drive
system as of right now, there's no plans to make any
sort of changes and answer your question in terms of how
much we listen to feedback.
It's something we do pay attention to.
See people make comments on social media surveys and whatnot and that's something that we do listen to and while we take it into consideration
We have a pretty large battle team to actually analyze those requests and take through and test through several battles through the team to determine
Whether or not it's right. Yeah. Yeah
exactly
The waste the ghillie I feel the same way, bro
I felt the same way about Street Fighter 6 in the first few hours. I played it back in
2022 at Summer Games Fest
I'm like y'all really thought of this like the the timing of things how things counter things
I'll like there's direct answers for shit all over the place in Street Fighter 6. I'm like you guys really thought of this and
It makes me it makes me think of like so how do you change this shit?
like
How do you how do you make adjustments off of a system that is so clearly designed around like this beats this that beats that
That beats this, you know?
It's all, it's designed around it, dude.
Every single, nearly every freaking interaction
is designed around that shit.
However, I do think that there is space to,
I think there is space where it's like,
yeah, maybe not drive rush is changing.
They like a game that is,
they like a game that really tests
your mental acuity of reactions and shit.
I think that game is designed that way.
It's designed to be a title that is going to fill your head
with a billion things and you're going to be ready
for two or three, you know?
It's going to be a big rematch.
But at the same point, it's like, I mean, last year,
I think there's room for things to be adjusted.
I think there's room for like throw loops
to not be as good in some situations,
because that's where a lot of the complaints
are at like mid level, you know?
Great job so far.
Had a tough game against Fuku,
but you know he was dying to get a rematch.
I do not blame him, you know?
Fuku is definitely the person to beat,
but both of these players are no stranger to being
in the position of the bracket and resetting grand finals
just to take home the ground.
Hey, stop licking the mic.
You're such a little biter.
Ah!
Yes, Keith, you thank you.
Hi.
This is the puppy chat.
Stop the mic, chill.
Don't eat the mic.
You're such a liquor and a biter.
Oh boy.
Especially for Fenred, you know.
JJ's been doing very hard training this animal that
had very sharp teeth.
Very sharp teeth.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, chill, chill, chill.
Little razor blades, ow, that's my whole hand,
that's my whole hand, chill, nibbler, chill.
The dog is very sharp.
Stop it.
I'm reaching deep into the bag to kind of...
Yeah, the...
Gotta keep biting.
Alright, sweetie, you get down.
Yeah, the azure grimoire.
Oh my god.
The dog has a lot of energy.
Yeah, I'm the dog's whetstone chat.
It's exactly a little raptor mode.
Anyway, what was I talking about?
Um, am I personally a little disappointed by that?
Like, yeah, dude, I want the shake-up.
I have a gift subbed on it.
I do.
I want the shakeup.
But it seems like from a core mechanical standpoint,
like you can make big changes to the game
from a character standpoint and not a mechanical standpoint.
Yeah, no, that could happen.
You just have to do it across the board, right?
You would have to.
Like for example, let's just say maybe the drive-rush dash
for some characters doesn't move as fast.
You can't get rid of drive-rush, dude.
You can't just get rid of it or add Drive Rush 2, reverse Drive Rush, like you can't
do that shit.
But could you change the speed and timing of some of that shit?
Yeah.
No, you definitely could.
That would go under character changes.
The same thing goes for like, throw loop situations, how many characters get really
easy opportunities for throw loops and stuff, like frame kill throw loops, like maybe
they want to get rid of that.
Those would be character changes and not mechanical changes, you know?
So anyway, we'll see.
We'll see.
I mean, it's a good thing the game is doing well, right?
The game was not necessarily doing well.
It would probably be a big problem, but three-fifth or six is a very successful last fighting
the game.
The titles who is gonna get the right to trace cool insurance.
You know you're not gonna play Street Fighter 6.
Bitch they put in Tifa, I have no choice.
They make the games gonna be my main, not gonna play Street Fighter 6.
I'm gonna take the disc of the game and it's gonna go up my ass.
It gets permanent residents.
They put Tifa in the game.
Maybe for me.
I'm that self important.
I'm gonna take the whole disc, I'm gonna take the Collector's Edition, I'm gonna
shove it up my ass.
It's going to become a part of me, Brew.
This is the nature of it.
Listen, bitch.
They put Tifa in this shit.
God damn!
Holy fuck.
Listen, Brew.
And then the chicken will be shit.
Will that play story finally? HELL NO!
HELL NO!
Wait, don't get the impression that I'm gonna play the single-player offerings of a fighting game.
And fatically. No, no, no, no, no.
No, I did not say that.
Even if Tifa's there? HELL NO!
No!
I wanna beat people up with Tifa.
Like, that's the idea, I'll be motivated, man.
Capcom's problem is that they put a super fascinating version of Ken into the Capcom game, and I was like, damn, this is fun.
And then SNK put a super fascinating version of their SNK character into the Capcom game, and I'm like, damn, this is fun.
So my ass is all backwards with Street Fighter 6.
Here's the biggest difference with SF6 and previous games that I don't like playing necessarily.
I don't get much enjoyment out of.
I actually like going to Street Fighter 6 and revisiting it.
I'm like, this shit's fun.
That's all that really matters to me.
I'm just looking to have a good time.
Much different than the majority of life span of Street Fighter 5 where it's like,
oh god, I have to play Street Fighter 5.
Okay, let's hope it's enjoyable in some way.
Not really, you know.
It's very different.
How to flow
You know, okay, Zimmy coffee. Thank you very much, dude
Was the last time booted up blaze go shit at least like seven years ago at least maybe for like rate the super
Yeah, so 5 roster is a thousand times better.
Of course it is at the end.
Of course it is after years of them fixing it.
I'm gonna show you this Abigail character again.
Did I play BB Tag? Oh, a little bit. Yeah, I had a good time.
To a degree, you know.
There's a few things that are a little annoying in the game.
But I had a good time.
It's not bad.
I like VP tag more than regular Blazblue personally speaking
When's the last time I played smash ultimate that's a good question
It's been several months, I think it's been at least a couple months
I think I've played more smash brothers
consistently than any fighting game within a consistent standpoint than
anything because we would play it so much with yo video games on the weekends
you were overdue for a UVG smash night more BB tag content the problem with
more BB tag content is that there's several other games that I just prefer
to play it more right now I'll try things here and there but you know I'm not I'm not
the kind of content creator that's trying to cover everything anymore and like play
everything now I'm just gonna play the things that I really like I've been that way for
like several years now and when I got kind of bored of Street Fighter 6 back
in September of 2023 yeah I kind of stopped playing it and then Tekken showed
up and it was like damn Tekken's fun I'm really enjoying Tekken and then it kind
of was Tekken for like a full last year
long story short I prioritize enjoyment that's it I prioritize having
fun and enjoyment okay the avatar game hell yeah well look I'm really looking
forward to it. I realize that in the fighting game space, this is interesting in topics
that like the fighting games and viewership conversation, but my focus for half a decade
now has been on specifically enjoyment and just having fun with things and not specifically
needing to grind shit, focusing on grinding shit, only ranking up like that kind of
stuff. In some cases I did when I really want to play it, but I'm also enjoying it, you know?
So I think that's important because people like watching their streamer be happy.
They just do. They just like watching people be happy. Is it less stressful? Well, it's not just
a stress thing. Sometimes stress can be enjoyment, right? Stress can be fun.
What is what the stress thing it is?
That's otherwise.
So in my case, having average like 12,000 viewers between multiple platforms and shit, yeah
I like to focus on like, are the vibes good?
Are we having fun?
Am I having fun with this?
And if I'm not enjoying something at the moment, or if I'm like it's not as much fun,
I just drop it.
I play something else.
I don't treat the games like they're lifestyles.
That's just it.
just it I just don't treat anything like it's a lifestyle I'm for any game I play
nowadays I'm not gonna be nearly as big of a fan as you want me to be even for
ff7 dude I haven't played rebirth that much
down on the backside, beats the burst, did not let it go.
Still only counter itself from Excalibur Blades.
Well, I'll take it away.
Nice.
God, these cross-ups, these ambiguous-ass cross-ups.
Oh, yeah.
Get the burst out.
I chat, I think you'll see it for everybody.
But if any singular streamer, in most case scenarios,
not every single person that's healthy,
I'm not trying to brag that it's healthy.
I'm saying, I used to make myself bitter about things,
and I had to realize those need to change
if I wanna do this for a long time, that needs to change.
You'll notice in most cases
when people have to stream exclusively one thing
and just do one thing over and over and over,
what happens, you get frustrated with it.
Like the little things that were incredibly cool about it
sort of go away and
the things that are frustrating about it take center stage
and that's a grant that is a burnout thing but it also is just like
much do you love it
so there's a lot of i mean i'll be real there's a lot of like fighting game
community focus
people are just playing games that they obviously like don't like that much
and i've been saying this since tecanate especially in season two
where maybe so happy to see tecan eight players
not put up with the season 2 bullshit that was making them upset and they were playing
like Tekken tag and find ways to play Tekken 6 online or Tekken 5, I'm like thank god,
guys you do not need to play the thing that you hate.
Please stop.
If this makes you mad and it brings you sadness and shit, don't buy it.
Please don't.
Don't engage with it anymore.
Stop buying shit.
Stop streaming it.
If, trust me, people will prefer to see you happy, playing other things, than you just
being miserable playing the one thing.
And for, I mean, to be completely honest, for a lot of like fighting game people, that's
hard. You know why? Because you have to be bad again. You have to enter very uncomfortable
territory, right? You have to enter a situation where you have to be bad and
it's like okay so now I'm just not gonna be as good at this and I have to
relearn all over again. It's like yeah that's uncomfortable territory for a lot
of people.
That's a backslide yet again?
The instant air dash, the agency is so technical.
Absolutely. You never know what to tell you to come up to anything.
Go ahead, into low.
It isn't taking away that their criticism isn't real.
It isn't taking away that their validation,
oh, I'm sorry, the things that they're criticizing are not validating.
Like, no, they're probably right about that shit.
When you play this shit that much, this is you off.
Yeah, I feel that way about third strike, dude.
I think I a high level third strike it's a fucking slog like it's it's really it
can be unfun but goddamn high to mid level third strike is maybe the best
fighting game of all time maybe just maybe the best fighting game of all
I'm not gonna do the versus at all.
That's how on the board here.
Good stuff.
You played that game so much better than I did.
Yeah, absolutely.
And a couple of lucky breaks too, right?
But you gotta take every event you can get there.
By being in an awkward spot, that's half the battle,
making it hard to confirm.
That's how on the board,
can it make the full 3-0 comeback?
We'll see.
He's done it before.
That's the most things to optimize in the fun out of it.
Yeah!
Yeah, no, don't get me wrong. I've talked about that before.
This is why I enjoy playing so many different and new fighting games that I don't know how to play.
Because it's like I enjoy when games are making me think about things differently, right?
Or I have to like engage with them in a way that is not the same as everything else and I have to like, wow.
I have to come up with solutions in my head. Cool! And those solutions aren't established, you know?
Not just known that you always do this in this situation.
Oh, okay.
Come play Granblue again, bro.
I am because they put this id guy in the game and he has a big fucking sword and he's
an edge lord.
That's my problem.
I don't want to play Siegfried.
I want to try that guy.
That id dude looks kind of cool.
So they got, they got me.
I was pissed off.
Dude, I already have too many games that I want to play right now.
But I would like to at least put a little bit of like a day or two into.
And then they added a new character in the ground where it looks kinda neat.
And it's like...
Fuck.
I'll check him out. I'll check him out.
I gotta re-learn how to play the whole goddamn game.
I don't even think 6p...what is it?
I don't even think 6xp works anymore, alright?
Or 6xk, whatever the hell it was?
I don't even know if that shit is the same way.
That was the last time I played that game,
was when that shit, 6XL, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was back when that game was godlike.
Now I take a turn, burst on the scalabery yet again.
Man, that's the new BB character, yes.
I have no idea who it is.
Chat will tell you.
And what a pick up.
What are the best starters we have to do?
No tech, no tech.
That stuff still works, really.
Jump A, get A, get A.
Just stand there, overdrive,
on the wake-up, air-thrive.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The chicken the dress was so confused BlazBlue is so crazy chat. I think BlazBlue is the ultimate anime game, right?
It has to be of like crazy characters with crazy gimmicks and crazy mechanics. BlazBlue is the ultimate one.
Like it definitely eclipses Guilty Gear like Strive, which is the modern anime game. It has to be the craziest one.
XR'd? I feel like this one's nuttier even. I don't know. Maybe Uni? Yeah, Uni I definitely
don't know a lot about. Where does DBZ land? Not that, not that crazy dude. Dragon Ball
Corp fighter says a ton of overpowered shit. Overpowered shit isn't what we're talking
about. We're talking about like ridiculously unique characters with ridiculously unique
mechanics all colliding with each other. Like the foundation that Guilty Gear established
with like Guilty Gear and Guilty Gear X.
That's like this game is that 100%.
This is the nuttiest one.
Is XR nuttier than Central Fiction?
Let's take your word for it.
You're beating up the Maid so that you can't do as many combos and mix ups.
And people don't really understand like anime fighters, like what it technically means.
Technically the first anime fighter in terms of a mechanical standpoint is Vampire Savior.
like the first not just not just air dasher but it's like v-sav v-sav is the
establishment of an anime game and it isn't just visuals no it's mechanical
like weird mechanics and shit all colliding together weird mobility like
every character moves around in weird different ways you know and that's just
further exemplifying games like guilty gear one on PlayStation and obviously the
the big game which is like Guilty Gear X.
Yeah, here we go.
Gear is super.
There it is.
He does the one frame.
You can come.
Sailor Moon's Nest.
Sailor Moon's Nest is much closer to like, I don't know,
to me, like Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition.
Like, Sailor Moon's Nest is some bonkers shit.
But there's like archetypes.
There's like, it's closer to Street Fighter,
but it's just nuts.
Like insane Street Fighter times four type shit.
I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's a crazy game, but it doesn't really have like the identity of a traditional anime game other than it just being based on an anime.
You want an anime ass anime game chat that is also based on an anime?
We should find a way to play it? Damn.
I didn't get the chance so much shit
This is the North Star game the Kudo no Ken. Yeah
The Jojo games also a good example of that Kudo no Ken though. It's definitely like whoa
It's like the ultimate anime ass anime game fucking bonkers
And so Kudo no Ken on fight kid right now really they eventually get that working
I have it on the fucking Dreamcast because it was under
um what kind of emulation is it uh a thomas wave it's an a thomas wave game so the fight
game now has a thomas wave support exactly wow or is it on flycast is it on neomy flycast
we need to see what adjustments that rich makes uh because that was it was actually it's a flycast
compatibility thing okay okay yeah not not very close i'm afraid to admit but i do the hardware
change might be a big difference yes just so that might be the small thing that
you need to kind of change the situation but I do expect you know and like I
think that they were on the initial layer they're on Fuku I blocked your
overhead I start my offense that's how I'm gonna play right there which knows
that now so maybe he won't go to that maybe hold disrespect the the minus
are we in brands like that somebody can correct me on chat frame data
play the best thing you got and then like 2001 is x and that's when everything changed
was when the fire nation attacked don't expect to just get how dominant yeah and i do think that jinn has
a bit of an advantage bank i get in that neutral a lot of the time so i'm not sure if he'll go today
if this is working out well but hey you never know this is susana all right here we go grand finals
of blaze who sent no fiction evo 2026 everyone in the crowd please make some noise
I tried this guy once as I thought he looked cool. This game is just fucking weird, dude
You're gonna you'll commit to it and have a crazy amount of fun, but it's like I
The craziest thing to me is when people tell me like this game just plays like guilty gear xx
And they're like just play blaze blue plays just like guilty gear
And then you try it and you're like
No, no it does not. Ragnar plays just like Sol, they say. No, no it does not. Certainly
does not. This is what they all would say back in the day. These are all the things
that the BlazBlue fans are trying to tell everybody else to get them to play BlazBlue.
way like in 2009 and I think that's good. I think it's good that they're so different.
It's always given them their own. They have completely different identities, you know.
You can look at the you can look at the old guilty gears like the XX series at a surface
level and look at Blaze would be like, oh, they're so similar. But maybe like somewhat
similar art style that's about it dude that's where that that's where that
ends it's like saying that like yeah vampire saviors just like street fighters
like no these are different fucking things
They didn't even see it
One thing I'll never understand chat what the hell this melty and arcana heart play like are they completely unique
because the art styles of those games will just forever keep me
disinterested, you know? Like the characters and art styles of those games?
So what is it about them that like really fuck with people? Because people that are
into that shit are really into that shit.
I'm dragging this long as possible so I can disconnect.
Maltese all reverse beat shit. Cool.
Don't really see that normal use like that.
Arcana is really floaty back when you played it.
They're both really good at movement.
Melty's like the turbo air dasher.
Gotcha.
How can new players even find low rank people to play with
in such games?
It doesn't exist.
It almost doesn't exist.
It's all, they call them discord fighters.
So I mean, and here's the reality of the situation
for nearly, let's just say 95% of fighting games,
like nearly all of them, right?
For almost every single fighting game,
after the first year it's out, outside of a select few,
like less than the fingers on one hand.
You're gonna be relegated to a game
where there's nearly no new players that play it,
and you'll have to go out of your way
to even find matches.
This is like 90% of fighting games after the first year.
So if you love it, you'll love it, but you have to go out of your way to find the community, you know
Yeah, wait for a steam sail or something like that convince a friend
If you're not playing a Tekken a moral combat a Smash Brothers or a Street Fighter or some shit that will be hard
maybe a dragon ball fighters like like living was like usually less than five
games that have insanely active and the chance that you can just get fresh new
players yeah yeah throwing like a stride the 2x KO those might even be a bit
more approachable in some situations than even Mortal Kombat 1 at this point because MK1,
a lot of the casual community maybe doesn't even play it that much, I don't know.
Anyway, all I'm saying is that like, there's not a ton.
The majority of fighting games are like that.
Especially games that are like 5 plus years old, you know?
nice air to air, but not anything that's quite useful to see jumping
yeah why but still
and here here's the crazy part here's the crazy part to think about
the further we go in time where there are more games introduced the more that
will whittle
because
the reality of the situation is is that fighting games are genuinely niche
right they are niche
so the amount of attention you have to disperse between people
like disperse between people is only available to be
to be put into so many games after like the launch period where most people are
playing especially from like a casual standpoint only playing at that point the
player base across the board just spreads thin you know
so the more games that are out the more fighting games that are out people find
their game that they like so much and a lot of folks don't play a bunch of
games dude they play like the one that they're really good at and they play the
fuck out of it for a long ass time like a long time
Yeah, and the opportunities to bring in brand new audiences like large audiences to fighting games like
Happen once every five years approximately
and your evil rare champion is gonna be Fuku.
Nice.
Like every few years to five years there's like a big fighting game that really opens up the opportunity for people to get into this shit.
Like really does, you know. Street Fighter 6 is doing it in other regions right now.
Dragon Ball Fighter, Smash Bros. Ultimate, like that kind of stuff.
Deal to your strife to a certain degree.
The hard work of learning an entire new character for your nemesis to use that in Grand Finals.
I think Avatar will do very well.
Let's go Fuku!
Does MK do that?
MK usually does that until Mortal Kombat 1.
I'll be real.
NRS was undefeated, dude.
Every single time an NRS game came out, it's just a huge swath of new people looking for new shit.
shit, and it's amazing. That changed with Mortal Kombat 1. Like, the interest level kind of
was low at the start and did not get higher as time went on.
I haven't put rivals on stream yet.
Oh Dan definitely loves me like I can tell just by looking at this
Right
Dan fucking loves me like I've not seen this game played before
Dan, the guy that made this game.
Definitely showing what this game is capable of and what he's going to do.
If we can only get one, two, one versus big steps a year.
Oh my God, I don't have a hand here.
We are in for a treat from...
Dan Farnacci that he loves.
I remember him talking about melee back in the day
and I can already see it in the gameplay dude.
Just in the speed of things.
This doesn't move likes any other Smash Brothers except melee
to be real. Yeah, this is a, this feels like a smash like in the same ways that Tekken is
the virtual fight or like. Back in the 90s I know.
Round one, this is how we overcame losing to that Ronald,
was pulling out the Lorraine off.
This would be an insane way for one.
Today, close this out, if he can do it.
We haven't seen this character in this top eight.
He's hot round one at the very least, but...
Not the newest character anymore,
now that Slade has been added,
but one of the newest characters added in January.
All right, all right.
I think we are going to see Cluck try to get as much off-stage opportunity as possible.
Is she a king reference? Uh...
Chat, what's that Pokemon in Smash Ultimate?
It's in a row. Yeah.
Oh, you can ledge steal in this?
It's position you needed.
Huh!
You got it.
Hives down.
Down there.
You have the chair on.
If you drop the cone, it's a dive bomb on top of it.
That's so much recovery.
You can wall hop.
Yeah, again.
It's not just like me.
Dude, this game has the liveliest audience we've heard of any game today.
Outside of the commentators for Soul Calibur, I think this feels like an EVO finals
Dude's fucking love this shit
It was very hard to get back to the wall and we have spoke out.
Oh, God, I'm not going to ever come up with you.
Hey, you got a good deal.
You got a good deal.
We're not only going to see as an evil
the property of the club, but we're
about to see Lorraine taking the evil brand.
This is legit making you want to buy the game.
I think that's the idea.
Ha ha.
You didn't even know he was the king of these world's
Oh, does this not have a console version? Is it only on PC? Wow.
Oh, it's published by Ludd's company, gotcha.
I'm not that much to be trying to right now.
No, okay, once he's offensively right,
he does not want to have to blow this.
Oh, wow.
That was cool as shit.
Wow.
Oh.
Oh!
What the? Wow, bro.
Bro, he won with that play?
Third, reverse three of the road.
This dude won with that play?
Holy shit.
God damn.
His outstake his command.
Holy shit.
So many championships and so many games.
But you can see on his face what this means to him.
Such a huge.
That was like a rumble verse finish.
Yeah.
A character we had yet to see the only match of Lorena
in top eight.
And he manages to win the whole tournament with it.
Oh, it's cool. I'm glad we turned into this at least a little bit
Dan put his whole love into this game for the OBG sauce fest. Yeah, I never got a chance to play the first rivals
It was like it was like a 2d like right?
It was like very simple pixel art
He obviously didn't have a ton of budget
Is it O.J. Melee? O.J. Melee player as well? Yeah, that makes sense. And that makes sense.
You feel a lot, I mean, I feel a lot of this Smash Melee community passion here will just
be real because Nintendo don't want none of that, you know?
Yeah, Dan's on the last, he's the dude I worked with on KI very briefly.
That's cool.
I'm glad we turned into that.
That was a badass finish! That might have been like the coolest finish we've seen all day.
Alright, Chad, I need to get some sleep because I'm gonna have to see you guys in literally 12 hours.
You'll have to look directly into all of your faces again in 12 hours.
And then it'll be 12 more hours of looking directly into your faces for 12 more hours.
We legit might have to start the stream over again tomorrow
because the YouTube bot might take too long.
Like, no shit.
The YouTube bot might take too long tomorrow.
We might be live for a long goddamn time.
No, Kenturo.
I'm just, I'm, my family needs help.
I'm bushed.
I wanna play him, but we just didn't get a chance today.
This didn't happen, so we might have an opportunity
a bit later.
We'll figure it out.
I definitely have some extra time
before I start having to leave.
So anyway, thanks guys.
Thank you for being here.
Finals day is tomorrow.
It starts at 10 a.m.
I think announcements and things will start happening
like almost immediately.
So if you're looking forward to trailers
and big fighting game things, you know, do it to it.
We'll be back.
Anyway, thanks guys.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for hanging out.
Thanks for being a great community.
I'll see you as soon as possible.
And if the dudes are around,
I'll also be streaming with the dudes.
Anyway, take care dudes.
Peace.
Yeah, to go, searching for a star
Deep in the night, I'm afraid of my heart
I'm not a person, I'm just a miracle
I'm just a miracle, I'm just a miracle
To the age of soldiers, to carry on
I'm not a person, I'm just a miracle
I know you're to the age of soul
You can get me home
To shine
