Incredible rushdown from Mena

 

[abstract alien]

Punk up 1

YES YES YES

THATS FUCKING 2

Let’s goooooooooooooooo

Lmaoooooo I can hear the evil laugh from here!

 

[Pasta la Vista]

This MFer and his phone ugggh

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Haters keep hating, let's go Blanka

 

[[Sigma]]

Oh so he lost? So not even that worked lol.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Wow

Let’s give Blanka a command grab too
He doesn’t have enough tools. Install super, slide under fireballs, safe balls, good damage, good normals, mix ups, minon… like why… absolutely stupid character

Also why can Blanka jump back air ball but cammy has to jump forward to dive kick, can’t even do it from neutral. DUMB

 

[nbkicker]

Time for bed cba siting to watch a blanka or luke win another tournament

 

[Icymanipulator]

It’s all on Kens shoulders. He’s the hero we need right now

If Blanka wins evo im going on hiatus for like 3 months.


Edit

COME ON ANGRY BIRD PLZ

Jfc a god damn reset FUCK

 

[iQuasarLV]

Out comes the Luke

 

[abstract alien]

This is too good

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

I'm annoyed this motherfucker benched Blanka but I still have to cheer for him cuz the monster helped bring him this far.

EDIT: oh snap, he back baby!

 

[chriskun]

Lol, grand finals has just been random DRs from angry bird the entire time.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Mena stinks of desperation switching back and forth

 

[Icymanipulator]

Lol, grand finals has just been random DRs from angry bird the entire time.

Dude shut up you sound dumb


Edit

Yoooooooo
Yes yes yes!!
So happy!
Man, angry bird got me a little emotional too
He deserves this win, such high level play.

 

[iQuasarLV]

Angrybird put that Ken to task and never switched. He showed how Ken is top tier.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Oh well, congrats to AngryBird, anyone who can join a tournament with 7000 of the world's best SF fighters and come out on top deserves mad respect, just wish it wasn't a Ken lol.

Ya I’m not the biggest Ken fan, but I’m so happy for Angrybird

 

[nbkicker]

So glad one of the original characters has won, has capcom got some more announcments or was that turtles and aki teaser all they got for announcments

 

[chriskun]

No I do not even in the slightest.

From a fellow Lily player this hurts, not going to lie.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

whew, great game all around except for modern Chun, f that shit

 

[[Sigma]]

It's stressful(yet fun) just watching this game

. Good shit from both them.

If I had to pick one person to win tomorrow it would probably be AngryBird and I would only put 50cent on that lol. I really not leaning towards anyone.

And im taking credit for this post. Nothing I said after AngryBird matters

 

[iQuasarLV]

This is the first EVO since vanilla SF4 that did not disappoint.

 

[abstract alien]

Ken

 

[Icymanipulator]

Ken

I feel you man

 

[[Sigma]]

I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and boot up the game feeling good high off watching that only to realize 15 minutes later that I can't play even 1/4th that level and will never be able to.

 

[chriskun]

This is the first EVO since vanilla SF4 that did not disappoint.

I’m going to predict we are going to see more players switching to modern for certain matchups like blanka. One button dp against balls would be too good.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Well, got my Blanka to Plat 2 , that was a hell of a grind, the Japanese kids are on summer vacation and there are matches galore. I'd say matches were 60% Modern and 40% Classic, don't people want to *learn* how to play? I win out against classic 75% of the time but hurts all the more when I lose lol. To date I've only encountered a grand total of *3* Blankas in Ranked, smoked all of them, they need to know who the *real* king of the jungle is .

 

[abstract alien]

It's been great watching with all of you. No matter what, it's an awesome community and I love what we have. Everyone that was active in here gets nothing but love from me. I can't way to see you all for the next one really soon

 

[Dr. Suchong]

But why?..

 

[mxbison]

Feel bad for Kakeru. Top 6 winners and then losing back to back super close games in the final round against two Ken's.

Overall great first Evo for SF6 but I hope Capcom tweaks the mechanics a bit here and there to enable more playstyles. 100% rush down is only fun to watch for so long.

 

[F0rneus]

I am very happy for AngryBird although I was rooting for Punk. What an amazing goddamn Top 6. Crazy shit. Goddamn Drive system completely upped the ante for any goddamn fighting games going forward TBH.

Also, I expected A.K.I to be a silent but deadly type lol. Did the Resident Evil team create her or something lol? Bitch is a goddamn Darkstalkers character. 10/10!

 

[saintjules]

But why?..

Good question. I know there's probably complications in licensing but not a fan of just having them as skins, but more of what they were in Injustice 2 for example.

MK1 also does a skin for JCVD. Even if Cage was modeled after him, I bet it won't feel the same.

Plus the skins are just fir the avatar etc, not for use with the main charachters in fighting ground etc, ive finished as far as far as i cba in world tour ans wont be going back and not interested in dress up for a avatar, i would prefer the developers concentrating on fighting ground and getting new stuff for main charachters or new stages etc then every month stuff for avatars

 

[abstract alien]

Was there any particular reason Sajam and Yipes were doing the finals instead of the usual Chen and Ultra David?

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Playing as Dhalsim I love making JP, Ken and Juri players quit, I literally lol every time.

 

[The Pleasure]

I saw the application for a Juri club. The initiation is this

Suck them toes!

If you love JP and you want to see a boat load(and record likely in tournament play) of perfect parries, watch Kakeru's JP against AngryBird in grand finals at Gamers8.

 

[Edmund]

Kakeru brought out his secret weapon against AngryBird. The perfect parry. What a sick match that was!!

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Oh yeah got to watch everything today, that JP by Kakeru was absolutely insane.

 

[Pelta88]

Why are you dropping spoilers? That's like the unbroken rule.

Please reconsider next time.

 

[chriskun]

Im going to chalk it up to them only using the they pronoun for everyone(I wish) and Ultra David talking like yoda. “Performed wake up dp they has!”

 

[Dr. Suchong]

I'm already sick of hearing the tmnt theme tune in the battle hub.

 

[abstract alien]

The themes have been a bit hit and miss, but I really dig this one.

 

[abstract alien]

 

[abstract alien]

Training mode updates are coming

More outfit 3 previews

And the best for last

Cammy and Ken's outfits are pure fire!

 

[Elbereth]

Ken is really HIMothy! OD costume.

 

[Paltheos]

Don't know how many GAFers are still playing SF6, but I'm still playing a ton.

Even compared to just a month ago, my Ryu game has leveled up immensely: More/better drive rush combos, better corner combos, better matchup knowledge, realization that stand jab is a god button (5LP, 2MK xx MK Donkey Kick is my main punish combo although I can sometimes drive rush off the 2MK), mixing my donkey kick uses more (the vertical hit box on this move is insane btw). I can probably stand to use 5HP more and my Hashogeki use is still pretty neglected on the whole but I'm experimenting.

Also playing Honda now. Such a degenerate character. I picked him only a few days ago and I was already going blow-for-blow with a Master Luke in battle hub. The link off install-boosted Hand Slap is kinda tricky, but the strength of his neutral buttons, the stupidity of Headbutt, and the threat of Oicho has gone a long way. Sumo Dash combos have been surprisingly tough to perform, and DI on Sumo Smash has been more of a problem for me than my opponent. I'll usually hold too far horizontal on my pad and get a normal instead, so I've lazily been defaulting to Headbutt off of Sumo Dash juggles.

 

[Edmund]

I'm playing it almost everyday. And I'm fortunate to have all my very close friends playing it too. Fighting games are always better with friends.

I also got the razer Kitsune recently. My first time using a leverless controller. It's pretty good!
