Fighting Tournament Weekend: Combo Breaker, RedBull Kumite, ELEAGUE, Tekken 7 UK

Winning three straight tournies and one of them being a premier is pretty dominating. None of them were easy.

This must be the first time I'm watching pools at 4 A.M. Combo breaker is still going.

Punk only lost to Phenom the first time around to make it entertaining for the folks at home watching on TV.

True alpha omega status.


And please cut it out with this Bonchan crap... dude would get LIT UP by the Alpha. This is not Japan's game, this is not Asia's game... this is not even America's game. It's Punk's game (for the time being at least).

Dominated the people who were at those tournaments maybe, so many top players where missing from two of those three tournaments.

Did Punk and Combo Breaker actually work something out? At first the word was that he wouldn't get special treatment and that his pools would be on Friday, which means he'd be unable to attend, but I remember him saying in his interview after winning E-League that he had to catch a flight to Combo Breaker. Did he get moved to Saturday pools after all? What about Fuudo?

because NRS sucks at balancing their shit.

Mika season 1. Now look at her season 2.
Chun-Li season 1. Now look at her season 2.
Balrog.
Urien.
General system nerfs.

And that's just SFV. If you want to get into SFIV, or Mahvel 3, SFxTK then that's a whole new story.

At least NRS gets the same excuse right now that KoF XIV and SFV had. This is still the launch version so naturally some characters are going to be stronger than all the others. But they have a pretty solid foundation here and I'm confident that they can make as many characters viable as possible.

Yeah but NRS has a whole history of being shit at balancing if you look at MK9, IJ1 and MKX.

NRS handling of the stream sucks, they missed matches like Tekken Master vs Scar yesterday while showing random scrubs dueling it out on stream.

Nothing here compares to NRS DLC characters winning(and dominating top 8) major tournaments 2 weeks after their release.

how do I slip unnoticed out of a gloryhole booth?
what happens in tekken 7 when the last round is a double ko, no gets a win and the round gets restarted? is that what happens with double kos anyway?

Heh, literally the first thing I thought when I saw him do it the second time was "does dude think he's playing ranked or..."

He was playing Birdie the entire tournament and pulled out Fang after he reset the bracket and then lost 2 games. He ran it back 3 games straight with FANG. Someone tell Lucebruce. lol
