Lmao someone in Stream said he was trying to do EX Jaguar Tooth

 

[Rhapsody]

Place bets on what happened:

Messed up a Rhino Horn input
Thought he had U2
Based god curse

Messed up Rhino Horn input makes a lot of sense.

That's even feels more depressing if that's the case, where your inputs aren't coming out in such a crucial moment.

 

[CountBlack]

Also Gamerbee's Elena is really good.. but basic.

Not touching Sako's in any level tbh.

Gamerbee didn't mix up his cr.LP's into lynx tail at all which could've caught Fuudo a couple of times if he went for it.

Elena tier list:

Sako~sama
Count Blackule
Gamerbee~kun

The only GAF Elena players we acknowledge is Count B

 

[CO_Andy]

Can't wait for the Elena buffs next month

 

[MrDaravon]

So that's got to be the biggest choke in recent memory right? Drawing a blank on any other big ones recently, but I've missed some events.

 

[xCobalt]

Damn yo.

Don't know why he got hit with that ex rekka by fei though even I could tell it was coming, but damn man he had a decent life lead at that point all you have to do is down back and look for the ex rekka and react stand for the tech or the overhead.

I know it's different in the heat of the moment but you could tell gamerbee wanted that bad.

Gotta be careful of the command grab too.

I thought you played Freejay m8 Kappa

 

[pixelish]

assuming they're going to seed based on cpt rankings for capcom cup, i guess we can start doing fantasy brackets!

Luffy (1) vs Nishikin (16)
Bonchan (2) vs Fuudo (15)
Xian (3) vs Valmaster (14)
Snake Eyez (4) vs Momochi (13)
Ryan Hart (5) vs NuckleDu (12)
Justin Wong (6) vs Daigo (11)
Infiltration (7) vs ChuChu (10)
PR Rog (8) vs Ricky Ortiz (9)

 

[mbpm1]

I hope ChuChu wins this lol

Xian v SnakeEyez at Evo

The Wong/Daigo looks delicious! I hope they mix it up a bit. Nothing crazy like #1 vs #2 first round, but like #1 vs any of the #14, #15, #16. Then two/three takes the other two remaining.

Then the next back be like 4/5/6 vs 12/13/14 but in a mix up order etc..

 

[kirblar]

Nah, you've got rankings, use em. Keeps it clean, and that's important after the issues they had earlier in the year.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Nah, you've got rankings, use em. Keeps it clean, and that's important after the issues they had earlier in the year.

But it's not a real ranking...

There was no regular season, it was a bunch of tournaments around the world, and it gave an advantage to whoever went to the most tournaments. And Luffy is #1 base off one tournament (granted it was the world championship).

A) In soccer, basketball, football, baseball all the regular season wins... = 1 win. There wasn't a game that was worth 10 wins, and B) everyone played the same number of games unlike this system where guys like Justin probably went to more events than someone like Valmaster (whoever the fuck that is).

Harry Potter hit him with that confusion spell. GGs.

Next Capcom Cup needs to not have so many US qualifiers.

than someone like Valmaster (whoever the fuck that is).

World's best Chun bruh

 

[mnz]

Yeah that was weird from the beginning, but overall we have enough top players from outside the US in there.

Lynx tail is very unsafe.

 

[fader]

I agree but it is only its 2nd year and it was pioneered and pushed by Capcom USA so it's no real surprise. Plus most of the qualifiers have a pretty strong foreign presence too.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

So that's got to be the biggest choke in recent memory right? Drawing a blank on any other big ones recently, but I've missed some events.

I agree. Gamerbee vs Fuudo winner's final, dropping the game ending combo and ate a full ultra and grand finals where he got so fluster he didn't even know what was going on. It's punishment for dropping Adon.

 

[kirblar]

Dreamhack had chokes all over the place

 

[Grakl]

That was one of the funniest chokes of all time

 

[Rainy]

Pretty entertaining top 8 though

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Xian v SnakeEyez at Evo

can you really call that a choke?

 

[CountBlack]

Yeah that was weird from the beginning, but overall we have enough top players from outside the US in there.


Lynx tail is very unsafe.

Worth going for instead of getting punished heavily for whiffing an ex Mallet smash

light one recovers very quick too.

Sako vs Fuudo

I wouldn't count Ryan for Evil Ryu. And Ricky is a big Poison player now, so 2 for her.

 

[CO_Andy]

can you really call that a choke?

now that i think about it, no

 

[Rice-Eater]

now that i think about it, no

Yeah, that was more of a huge miscalculation by Xian. Same goes for how Gamerbee's match with Fuudo ended. Either he looked at the wrong bar or just assumed he had Ultra after taking more punishment.

 

[Anth0ny]

ATL North Smash Wii U tourney, lots of top players

doubles grand finals now, singles starting soon

 

[BakedYams]

Doubles is fun to watch, singles is kinda boring to watch. Feel like it has th sfxtk syndrome, fun to play, kinda hard to watch.

 

[Unlucky]

I agree with you on both. Justin also has Elena that he has played in several majors that I would count. And I would not put Akuma for NuckleDu (but maybe he used him in some of the online tournaments?). However, those are the characters as listed for each player on the Capcom Pro Tour website.

 

[CountBlack]

Sako should've gotten automatically qualified tbh

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Sup. So I now have the chance to play Smash. I just got back from a UK tournament

Anyone up for some games?
If so add me:
64BitHero.

Doubles is fun to watch, singles is kinda boring to watch. Feel like it has th sfxtk syndrome, fun to play, kinda hard to watch.

Yeah I know the feeling.

Damn I missed out on something big with Gamerbee. What happened?

 

[gutabo]

singles is kinda boring to watch

I have to disagree, there's so much going on I don't find it boring at all. Maybe it's because I haven't seen/played smash in a long time and everything seems fresh with a new iteration.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Damn I missed out on something big with Gamerbee. What happened?

Final round of grand finals with Fuudo, few seconds left, ran away while down on life, and lost - apparently because he thought he had a heal ready to use with Elena (spoiler; he didn't!)

 

[Shiokazu]

humble question people: im trying to get into the fighting games for a long time. i decided to enter with street fighter but i have one last question:


is it worthy getting ultra now on steam or should i wait for christmas?

( im also making this question on steam thread so i can compare answers. )

Heyhey welcome to the fold. I'd say it's worth waiting until Christmas so that in case you don't like the game you would lose as little money as possible. The OP post has some resources for people new to the genre, give some of those a read.

i will, thank you for the welcomies, i am reading the newbie guide on shoryuken already, i wanted to pick the game because this way i can stop going to my friend's place so constantly to ask him " HEY GOT FREE TIME? "

For me, no. I get more out of watching singles tourneys than doubles.

Teams can be fun sometimes, but there are times when the characters used make it boring.

 

[Beats]

Chibo played really well against Dabuz's Diddy in that match.

I'm sorry Dahbomb. LOL.

I have been following Capcom's Financial reports since 2004.

If you really wanna know how you would feel desensitized and all, watch some melee streams and PM streams and compare it to Smash 4 singles.

For me, no. I get more out of watching singles tourneys than doubles.

Meh, I guess you boat is different than mine. PM looks a lot more fun to me than Melee and Smash 4 so yeahhhh...

Was it in GG? I know Ranma plays SF and Marvel. Guy is really humble and down to earth.
