that clutch gief resurrection

sawed in half and still he rises.

 

[Neoxon]

Punk ;_;

Congrats, Snake Eyez

 

[Dahbomb]

Punk has only one weakness and that he's a huge ass Bonchan stan.

Dude trying to play stick and play Nash like Bonchan... nah son you are better than him!

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Who knocked Xiao hai outta the tourney?

 

[jett]

Snake Eyez is just SOOOOOO FUCKING GOOOOOD GODDAAAAAAAAAAM

So happy he's getting it done with Gief this year. Finally, Capcpom made a viable Gief.

Even if Snake loses this I am just so impressed how he makes Gief work.

Seriously it's like art watching him play SF, both in 4 and in 5. Easily my favorite player.

Indeed. You can just tell by how much everyone in the audience is rooting for him. The true people's champ.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Finally, Snake with the win.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Fuck yes snake eyes now I can go to bed!

Thank you stream for keeping your shit together during the whole grand finals.

 

[CrackPebbles]

I'm so happy. Snake is back.

 

[Syntsui]

 

[Hyun Sai]

Xiao Hai is not laughing anymore at Snake Eyes I suppose ^^

 

[Hueytothe]

Is that Gief's first premier win, i think itazan won a ranking?

 

[CountBlack]

GodEyez is back

 

[HardRojo]

DAYUM! I thought Punk's Nash was going to reset it but SnakeEyez took complete control in the last 2 rounds.

 

[Hag]

Good stuff

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Snake Eyes wins!

Now Gief will finally get nerfed. Kappa,.

Thanks for nothing Snake Eyes

 

[SargerusBR]

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Finally I get to see snake win a tournament

 

[abstract alien]

What was the last major Snake won before this?

 

[Ninjimbo]

Yep. Gief is Karin kryptonite. Punk's Nash is not Bonchan's.

Awesome for SnakeEyez.

 

[careksims]

Woww! Amazing final! That was hype!

 

[dreamlongdead]

Snake Eyes had some really close calls, but he prevailed in the end.

This top 8 was amazing!

 

[Lulubop]

I NEED A CLIP OF THAT FLEX

 

[Flip4k]

So happy to see this dude win, been a fan for a while now.

 

[MrCarter]

keep on sucking Nash.

He had his moment in S1 it's Gief's time to rise and shine.

 

[Dartastic]

Is there going to be a trailer or anything after this?

 

[Lulubop]

Is there going to be a trailer or anything after this?

No

 

[jett]

Is there going to be a trailer or anything after this?

Yes.

Spoiler

No.

 

[joe2187]

 

[Dahbomb]

I need 100% serious mode, pad only no stick, no Nash, no hats, no tea bags Punk at EVO.

Then he will win it.

 

[Zackat]

Is there going to be a trailer or anything after this?

 

[Hyun Sai]

Wow Samurai looks like he got humiliated by Punks, really depressed

 

[NastyBook]

CONGRATULATIONS, SNAKE EYEZ!!!!!

 

[jett]

I need 100% serious mode, pad only no stick, no Nash, no hats, no tea bags Punk at EVO.

Then he will win it.

He'll come back with a fresh new gimmick.

 

[Syntsui]

Time for Abigail trailer!!

 

[Village]

Who's the ibuki cosplayer

I thought I was seeing things when folks was being handed medals

 

[jett]

There's your trailer people, CEO Recap Trailer!

 

[chronosic]

No trailer? The hellllll

 

[Immortal Technique]

Congrats to Snake Eyez. I'm glad he finally got a big win on his belt. It's a nice little statement win that the world isn't free to Punk before EVO(although that didn't really matter when Tokido beat Infil last year at CEO).

Yeah interesting parallel to last year. Punk is still the EVO favorite for sure though.

 

[Zombegoast]

Remember last year when Balrog was shown and then Juri and Urien was teased in CEO? Good times.

 

[Lulubop]

I NEED A CLIP OF THAT FLEX

Anyone?

 

[joe2187]

No trailer? The hellllll

Why would you expect a trailer? did capcom announce they were gonna show something? or even be there?

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

No trailer? The hellllll

I think they're done doing trailers at tournaments outside of EVO maybe. Capcom is just dumb like that.

 

[Nemesis121]

No trailer? The hellllll

Trailer lol lol..

 

[joe2187]

Meanwhile Im still waiting to see what the CPT stage and costume are for the past three months now it seems, but capcom doesnt seem to enjoy my money.

 

[MrCarter]

They usually hint if there's a trailer so I don't know why people expected anything. Anyway, well done to Snake Eyez winning his first premier event in SFV!

 

[thelastword]

Thank you snake...tears...tee hee....It's been so long since gief and snake won a major, feels good man...

 

[The Lone Dragon]

wow the view counts for SFV dropped tremendously over the last 2 years. I recall USFIV breaking 80k for CEO finals in 2015(could be 100K+). Now it can't even break 30k.

In the end, SF5 peaked around 52k. CapcomFighter stream alone was around 40k.

Makes me wonder what it would have peaked at if the internet didn't repeatedly reset the stream for the first half. The matches we missed sounded amazing. And, the entrances sounded silly.

Also worth noting, CEO MKX in 2015 (when it was brand new) got a peak of 45k. Injustice 2 today got a peak of 35k. OH NOEZ.

Fighting games are doing fine.

 

[MrCarter]

Thank you snake...tears...tee hee....It's been so long since gief and snake won a major, feels good man...

When was the last time, anyone know?

 

[CodeNfX]

Really nice to see pad players in the finals.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Really nice to see pad players in the finals.

I feel like pad players are always in SFV grand finals.
