LPN finally pulls through huh

maybe the WC hyping him up will finally pay off, eventually

 

[trixx]

LPN also has a chance to take out punk with his birdie? Would be extremely cool

 

[trixx]

Bonchan is so damn good, holy hell

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

Did Bronson get 2nd yet?

 

[lucebuce12]

I can't even imagine who much Bonchan would be wrecking people if Nash was also good.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Momochi was really close. the gap is lessening

It seems like he is completely helpless whenever Punk scores a knockdown with pressure. Punk is also aware that Momochi is trying walk out of throw's and shimmy's since he's catching him with a lot of raw low forward > Tenko. Punk got lit up by those left right mix ups, but he did fine on wake up. So once Momochi ran out of meter for EX kunai Punk was good.

USA doing work

Christ G

 

[Dahbomb]

Maygo

That sequence towards the end reminded me of the one time I faced Toxi(a top Australian player) in casuals during EVO 2011. He was trying to do all his sexy frame traps, stutters, delayed normals, and so on. All I did was hold down back like Chris G did. We played FT3 though and he started throwing me a lot. I know you really wanted a sexy confirm into super to finish the match but maybe sometimes you should just take the throw and move on.

 

[Blueblur1]

Chris G winning it was a great end to top 16.

 

[trixx]

who did lpn beat?

mago irrc.

Fuudo gotta be strongest in Japan, surprised Haitani didn't make it past top 16. Fuudo said Punk is the strongest in the world atm?

 

[Ninjimbo]

mago irrc.

Fuudo gotta be strongest in Japan, surprised Haitani didn't make it past top 16. Fuudo said Punk is the strongest in the world atm?

Fuudo said that because Punk bodied him couple of nights ago. All those top dudes, the skill gap isn't really big. One day it could be Punk, another day it could be Fuudo, another day it could be Xian. The field is wide open if you ask me.

Fuudo is for sure the most consistent out of all these guys tho. I'm not sure if it's because of his competition or that his brain operates at a higher level.

I think Punk is going to take this tournament. He is on fire right now and he might have already played the biggest obstacle in his way in Momochi. That match was amazing.

 

[mbpm1]

watching punk has made me realize I need to throw more

I will rethink this

 

[TheSpoiler]

Tokido is out too?!? Gaw dayum

 

[RecRoulette]

It's i just noticed there is no CPT tournaments in Japan this year at all, it's like capcom doesn't care about their Homeland anymore.

Still waiting for the arcade version

 

[BadWolf]

Holy shit that run up grab super by Layec against Reynald.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

For those that missed it, they're actually rebroadcasting todays stream on Capcom Fighters now.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Japan rarely has tournaments, period. Nothing new, not Capcom's doing. It's because of Japan's laws

 

[mamoniadas]

edit: wrong thread.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

So who's the top 8 for NCR SFV?

 

[Hyun Sai]

InfernoKong just won Hypespotting KoF XIV tournament with Verse, Anthonov, Dinosaur.

Didn't lost a single match.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Supposedly the viewer count for SFV semifinals yesterday was at a lower peak than USFIV semifinals in 2015

[lucebuce12]

I hope Problem X bops him.

 

[Hyun Sai]

You just signed Problem X death warrant

 

[lucebuce12]

Goddamn it.

Everything I like turns to shit.

[Hyun Sai]

Who else do you like/dislike Luce so I can make some good bets and make money ?

 

[lucebuce12]

Though I don't like him, I think Punk will win NCR.

Spoiler

There, now bet against him.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Did Marvel pools from day 2 get streamed?

 

[Seiniyta]

Fighting games are DEAD

Nah, just the negativity around SF5 making people less inclined to give it a viewing.

Why watch something when all you heard about it aren't that great? The drop is no doubt attributed to more casual viewers giving it a pass.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Any Irish players in top 8 of hype spotting?

Colgecog playing in grand finals right now.

 

[-Mikey-]

Was Pokken suppose to start an hour ago?

 

[ScribbleD]

Was Pokken suppose to start an hour ago?

"TeamSp00ky : we're streaming pokken on /ennymura"

There was also some sort of delay.

Nah, just the negativity around SF5 making people less inclined to give it a viewing.

Same stupid self-fulfilling prophecy that the Starcraft 2 community damaged itself with. "Dead game, dead game!" ad nauseum, viewership declines slightly, "SEE! TOLD YOU! DEAD GAME!" Rinse and repeat.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Colgecog playing in grand finals right now.

Sick, I lost 19 matches in a row to Chris once back in Super SF IV days my Vega against his Cammy. That was a punishing set.

Did he win the tournament today? I didn't get to see any of it as I was traveling.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Luffy won.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Ahh, not bad, luffy won Celtic Throwdown here last year if I remember, I was talking to him afterwards anyway.

 

[MrCarter]

SF4 looks so robotic and stilted in this old footage. Definitely not something I'd ever be interested in going back to.

I know. Looks like an NRS game to me now lol. The pro level zoning and footsies in that game was also a snooze fest judging by those clips.

 

[entremet]

So who's the top 8 for NCR SFV?

Winners
Nuckledu v Fuudo
Punk v LPN

Losers
Gamerbee v Bonchan
Chris G v Mago
