You still did good Ricky.

 

[theprodigy]

He easily could have wrecked his shit with Yun, but he isn't as desperate as Xian. He sticks to his characters no matter what.

the fuck is this shit, there's no desperation in counterpicks

 

[sf2fanatic]

Rufus is done in Ultra. Time for another character to step up

 

[Lulubop]

I also called daigo getting bopped because of the format

He'd get bopped by Infil anyway

 

[hwateber]

valmaster played really solid

*shrug* Handicap yourself all you want. Infil. know's what's up.

Daigo probably felt his E. Ryu was strong enough to take Xian's Sim....I have a feeling if it was F. Champ's sim he'd have rolled in with Yun lol.

 

[xCobalt]

Dhalsim is hollywood now

 

[kirblar]

Why does Momochi keep picking Ken's very awkward beach alt? (Something just looks off about it, dunno what it is, Sagat's similar alt doesn't have the same issue.)

 

[DoDonGouki]

Dhalsim is hollywood now

#nerfSim

 

[Lyte Edge]

Dan's time is now.

 

[ismk]

Dhalsim is hollywood now

Damn, Dhalsim is trending #NerfDhalsim :lol

 

[Windom Earle]

Yup, Haunts rigged that shit hard.

 

[Lulubop]

Daigo has destroyed him repeatedly when he's tried Elena/Poison/Gen recently.

Counterpicking is not desperate is the point brah. And Daigo has counterpicked before like when he picked Guile vs Mago's Fei brah.

 

[Jamie OD]

Dhalsim is hollywood now

Dhalsim Vs Mayweather. Book it!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Dan's time is now.

I'll mark out if a Dan player wins EVO

The extremely terrible hair? The shorts that look painted on?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Dhalsim is hollywood now

 

[toddhunter]

30k is the on the damn line so there is no desperation only smart tactics.

Daigo has a 40k appearance fee.

 

[Windom Earle]

Any reactions from Arturo on Sim?

#notallcounterpicks

 

[Kadey]

70K! I want this get more than 100K at least.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

this this this. How's daigo's yun currently though?

non existent

but would still wreck dhalsim

 

[malfcn]

When sf5 comes out, some of the hype will get lost until the mechanics are all broken down again. These matches are hype.

 

[Skilotonn]

Xian is desperate now? Daigo displaying his glorious Japanese honor?

I don't know what else I'd call bringing out a character he didn't use in years just for Daigo after getting destroyed so many times by his E. Ryu.

30k is the on the damn line so there is no desperation only smart tactics.

Hey, I'm not saying it isn't smart, but it's desperation nonetheless - he's doing what it takes to win that big money.

 

[Ve1ocity]

I love watching Bonchan

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice finish by Bonchan there

 

[SloaneRisette]

70K! I want this get more than 100K at least.

It might get there

During the SF5 exhibition

Maybe

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Some of you guys use "bopped" wrong, lol. Sim didn't bop him, it was close. Wong got bopped.

You mollywocks.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I don't know what else I'd call bringing out a character he didn't use in years just for Daigo after getting destroyed so many times by his E. Ryu.

ayy lmao

Daigo fanboys are the worst

 

[direct_quote]

Probably would have gotten to 100k if they didnt have the weird intermission...

 

[Windom Earle]

Wrong, initial hype is best hype.

 

[Revven]

70K! I want this get more than 100K at least.

Probably won't happen if we have another intermission with Dee Jay iPad and The Megas. :/

 

[Kikujiro]

I don't know what else I'd call bringing out a character he didn't use in years just for Daigo after getting destroyed so many times by his E. Ryu.

Hey, I'm not saying it isn't smart, but it's desperation nonetheless - he's doing what it takes to win that big money.

So wanting to win is being desperate?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Counterpicking is not desperate is the point brah. And Daigo has counterpicked before like when he picked Guile vs Mago's Fei brah.

In this instance, yes it is. He felt hopeless with gen, so he countered.

this doesn't take anything away from Xians legitimacy.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

I don't know what else I'd call bringing out a character he didn't use in years just for Daigo after getting destroyed so many times by his E. Ryu.



Hey, I'm not saying it isn't smart, but it's desperation nonetheless - he's doing what it takes to win that big money.

You're delusional.

 

[kirblar]

The extremely terrible hair? The shorts that look painted on?

Yes and yes. I suspect it also might be animation issues with Ken's lower body.

 

[KidA Seven]

Why do you keep calling him that? Haha. It's smart pick. Daigo needs to counter pick or deal with it.

If Daigo counterpicks with Yun, Xian can just go to his usual main. It makes no difference in the end because the Yun counterpick can only happen after he's down a game.

 

[Greenzxy]

Those Juicy Cross ups.

 

[Lulubop]

I don't know what else I'd call bringing out a character he didn't use in years just for Daigo after getting destroyed so many times by his E. Ryu.



Hey, I'm not saying it isn't smart, but it's desperation nonetheless - he's doing what it takes to win that big money.

Being fucking smart? Thta's what I'd call it.It's not desperate, and this is some really embarrassing dickriding.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Imagine if Batman used infinite time and resources to prepare so that he could beat Superman, and then on the day of the fight, Magneto shows up to fight him instead.

That's what it's like to be Daigo in this tournament.

 

[ismk]

It might get there

During the SF5 exhibition

Maybe

There's going to be a SF5 exhibition? HYPE!

 

[kirblar]

Any reactions from Arturo on Sim?

Arturo Sanchez ‏@nycfurby 16m16 minutes ago

Even though Dhalsim isn't too strong in the metagame, even low tiers can have good matchups, one of them is Evil Ryu

here ya go

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

There's 45 characters in SFIV and apparently not limiting yourself to just a couple is desperate.

He won, that's what matters. At least what I thought mattered.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

love how i got timed out in chat because i posted the brackets when someone asked

 

[Omnicent]

good bye bonchan

 

[Windom Earle]

here ya go

Thanks, expected more excitement though.

 

[malfcn]

Wrong, initial hype is best hype.

Right now all the frames, options and spacing is used for crazy matches.

How long until all the footsies and mind fucked can be achieved in sf5 to a similar level as now? Is going to take some time to download unless it's just another update.

 

[FourMyle]

RIP bonchan

 

[Conceited]

love how i got timed out in chat because i posted the brackets when someone asked

how dare you post the brackets

 

[ismk]

Wow, Bonchan is out....This tournament is crazy.
