I hope Sonic sticks with SF. The US scene could use another talent. Plus just the fact that he's a prodigy hypes up certain matches like we just saw. If he beats Daigo in tournament it would be the same as when Poongko bopped his ass. It's great for the scene.


Seriously though, that bracket was lopsided.

 

[lucebuce12]

Next CPT event I wonder if we'll see Sonic Fox switch characters

I hope not. He lost because Tokido KNEW the matchup and did good ol'fashioned Tokido things. Doesn't mean that he should just drop the character.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Sonic fox had a good run in sf5

 

[jediyoshi]

US completely out eh

 

[jwhit28]

Are all these guys staying in the US for the week until NorCal regionals? Will we get an all Asian WNF?

 

[silentQ]

Nah, SonicFox will improve. A good showing for his second SFV tournament.

Yeah improvements can be made for sure I just feel like a lot of his advantage is nobody knows how to fight him.

 

[qcf x2]

Lupe going in: https://twitter.com/LupeFiasco/status/711709384426921984

lol

But yeah, who did SonicFox beat besides NuckeDu? I wasn't impressed by the two matches I saw.

 

[Omnicent]

Nah, SonicFox will improve. A good showing for his second SFV tournament.

This is what I'm expecting. I hope sticks with FANG more than just this first month.

 

[Kouichi]

Nah, SonicFox will improve. A good showing for his second SFV tournament.

Yeah. I expect him to go far in SFV.

 

[ScribbleD]

Drop Fang.
I hope this loss doesn't fuck him up in MK. He's still in losers

He's also running it back vs. the guy who put him there. Not worried. His composure is really good.

 

[mnz]

I feel like FANG's idea of the continued poison damage doesn't really work. The game is too fast and he's not Dhalsim to keep opponents out all day.

I heard yesterday most are hanging around and going to the California tournament next weekend

 

[enzo_gt]

Ryu's damage output is stupid damn

 

[MarauderShields]

Another SonicFox trophy

 

[SMK]

Tokido is just dissecting people right now.

 

[lucebuce12]

lol

But yeah, who did SonicFox beat besides NuckeDu? I wasn't impressed by the two matches I saw.

Julio, Wolfkrone and one other person who I'm forgetting.

 

[Wallach]

Tokido's neutral game is so tight right now.

 

[JayEH]

Tokido pls.

 

[Rektash]

GODLIKE.

 

[sixteen-bit]

These top 8 matches are massacres lol

 

[Darrenf]

Wow

 

[smurfx]

i had read that tokido was using dhalsim so is ryu a secondary character or is ryu better?

 

[Augemitbutter]

last couple games were too free.

 

[Zombegoast]

Couldn't he just slide through the Denjin or the EX rekka?

Putting himself in the corner in the first round screwed him.

 

[trixx]

Tokido is looking insane right now

 

[ICKE]

Can the Americans ever defend their own turf?

This is just sad.

 

[def sim]

Dang. Tokido sees those forward dashes no problem.

 

[OmnipotentO]

Tokido can totally fucking take the whole thing with the way he's playing.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Murderface racking up the bodies

 

[Spizz]

This is Tokido's world, we are just living in it.

 

[silentQ]

From watching most of this tournament today I feel personally Justin Wong is probably the best US Player, he gave the Japanese guys the biggest run for their money without question.

 

[Hex]

Tokido does not need Akuma, he is Akuma.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Fucking hell Tokido is just putting players in body bags.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

lol

But yeah, who did SonicFox beat besides NuckeDu? I wasn't impressed by the two matches I saw.

wolfkrone, kind of.

he and brent had an easy path to top 8 tbh

 

[toastyToast]

The MP hit confirm to super is snatching dudes souls tonight

 

[Order]

That look was pure evil

 

[killdatninja]

Tokido looking real intense.

 

[Baleoce]

st.MP linked into st.MP is a disgusting hit confirm tool haha.

 

[kitzkozan]

I hope not. He lost because Tokido KNEW the matchup and did good ol'fashioned Tokido things. Doesn't mean that he should just drop the character.

Moreso than the character, he lost to a player who's way above him in terms of SF excellence. In term of skills, I honestly believe that Fox could hang with the 5 gods. It's just going to take time for him to hang with monsters like Tokido, Daigo or Infiltration.

 

[Renekton]

I feel like FANG's idea of the continued poison damage doesn't really work. The game is too fast and he's not Dhalsim to keep opponents out all day.

Not that SonicFox plays keepaway. Dude mixes in like he's playing Karin or something. Poison is just icing to him.

 

[ScribbleD]

Nando is impressing me the most of all the americans who made top 8. Dude looks solid.

 

[Papercuts]

Goddamn mika is an idiotic character.

 

[jediyoshi]

the grabs hnnnggggg

 

[sixteen-bit]

tokido mashing technology

 

[JayEH]

Finally.

 

[def sim]

Tokido mashed out of dizzy so quick hahaha

 

[Wallach]

motherfucker nando get your head straight this man will cut you

 

[enzo_gt]

THIS LAND IS NOW 1% LESS FREE

 

[Gambit61]

How do ppl mash out of dizzy so fast lol

 

[Alucrid]

so a japanese wrestler ends up being america's greatest hope
