I'm doing other things with this playing in the background.

 

[AAK]

These customs are Poison that I'm gonna have to feed myself daily till my body is numb to its effects since they're returning for T7.

 

[Smooth Operator]

It's been what, 15 minutes, and i'm already having a blast right now. God i love Tekken, i love you too Harada, and i hate my execution

 

[Sayah]

Yeah. There's some really good matches going on.

 

[Doomshine]

Hah, that's pretty clever. Chie and her persona.

 

[Sayah]

Finally a good custom.

 

[AAK]

I'm looking at some of the teams:

http://mastercupofficial.com/teamlist/m7_teamlist

No. 20 and No. 116 has a player that uses my TEAM!

No. 33 has an Anna/Jinpachi team that you used Sayah

No. 93/59 has All Capo's and 1 Kazama team. /boothatteam

No. 146 sounds like all female players. (But i don't see Yuuyuu the Ling/Zaf player)

Oh. I need #33 on stream. Anna/Jinpachi really good synergy.

 

[AAK]

The progress of the brackets will hopefully be updated in this webpage:

EDIT: And wonkey corrected me, YuuYuu is on Pekoso's team No. 126

 

[Dereck]

Shudy is nice

 

[AAK]

I just missed the last half hour, any Koreans play yet?

I also missed Shudy? Damn.

 

[Sayah]

Well......I'm convince using butterfly wings is a strategy to distract your opponent.

Those ugly as sin customs. SMH.

 

[Dereck]

Butterfly Wings are in Tekken 7 Sayah

 

[Sayah]

Butterfly Wings are in Tekken 7 Sayah

Wait......what?

Noooooooo

 

[AAK]

Well, you can pretty much guarantee it:

If they have those dumb Da Vinci wings then I'm sure we'll see the even more obnoxious ones:

 

[Dereck]

I will never let this shit go, stupid decision.

 

[AAK]

Yo this Paul/Kaz player doing Tag1 combo's. Launch into 1,1,2? That's so hilarious!

 

[Passive Assassin]

let's go team america!

 

[Sayah]

Well, you can pretty much guarantee it:

Was cringing hard when I saw those.

 

[AAK]

Dang this Tekken Girls Club team is owning this creepy Uncle Team right now.

solo armor king :l

 

[Sayah]

They lost. I wanted them to win. lol.

 

[AAK]

Dammit, that female Baek/Bruce player was so cool though! She knew how to FLA SS out of so many RLX setups. Wish she made it through

 

[Sayah]

I missed the Baek/Bruce match. Oh well. They only lost due to lack of Eddy knowledge. Easily interrupt or parry that 4 --> 3 move from relax.

 

[AAK]

The Bruce/Baek match was legit, the Eddy/Lei player just prevailed and had better throwbreaks. The Moguten match was unlukcy because she had it but just dropped the combo. She went for the jab extension after d/f+3 from the FAFA 3+4 juggle starter which is easier to execute but less reliable than party crasher. In this case, the jab whiffed making her game winning combo drop

There's still hope in the Loser's bracket.

BUT WOW... Only Practice's Nina is sooooo majestic.

 

[Xevren]

God I love watching Only Practice play, soooooooooooooooo good.

 

[Gambit61]

Yeah I was hoping for the Tekken Girl team to win as well, Damn Lei/Eddy sillyness. Also, nerf OnlyPractice

[Doomshine]

WOW @ that backroll catch setup. So good.

 

[AAK]

That was 4 COMPLETE backroll catch punishes he did in 3 matches..... INCREDIBLE.

 

[Dereck]

Nerf Lars, rather

 

[Renekton]

Korean team pretty stacked... Practice and Knee

Maybe I'll try to catch it in the archives.

But yes, that Nina.

 

[AAK]

Damn, I gotta sleep!

But man it was interesting to hear that Devil mode Kazuya's EWGF is now a mid. Although it's unsafe that's a pretty big change!

Anyways, I'm gonna try to wake up 1 hour ealier. Mastercup has been so good so far!
