bonchan looks like a ff character

 

[Dlent]

Not even second T_T

 

[The Last Emperor]

Yo james Chen is dumb as fuck lol

 

[Trey]

yes! Momochi doing god's work with that Ken. That fierce crossup was disgusting.

 

[sixteen-bit]

awesome play by Momochi

 

[Omega]

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.

lmao

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[BotoxAgent]

Can't wait to see some SFV

 

[kirblar]

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.

It's because of their match history. It was super smart. It was also a complete hail mary.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

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.

Didn't Daigo win the 1st match? After 1st sim win, he could had gone back to e ryu?

 

[kasane]

2/3 sucks

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

YES MOMOCHI!

 

[Nakazato]

Did I miss sf5

 

[tabs2002]

Bonchan pls

 

[AAK]

2/3 sucks

I agree

 

[ViewtifulJC]

so glad we had like hour long breaks so we couldn't do 3/5

 

[CountBlack]

Bonchan

 

[Windom Earle]

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.

Game being new means that there will be surprises and crazy shit. Now everything is known which is good and bad. I like both.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Can't wait to see some SFV

That's what I'm waiting for, too. Hopefully it's before 8 pm est.

 

[Tekniqs]

non existent

but would still wreck dhalsim

i mean would his yun be good enough to give Xian's Gen a run? cuz if not, the counter pick wouldn't work to actually win the set

 

[Ve1ocity]

Dat PS1 controller

Not when you beat the beast, then you are bottom feeding desperate scum

 

[Lyte Edge]

Did I miss sf5

That's going to be after this tournament is over.

 

[Lulubop]

Did I miss sf5

no

 

[CadetMahoney]

2/3 sucks

yes.

first to 2 wins for 30k is. . .

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

no homo-chi but I'm glad he won. I do love bonchan and want him to win stuff but I love watching momochi play more.

bonchan looks like a ff character

DBZ character*

From Yajirobe to Future Trunks

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's because of their match history. It was super smart. It was also a complete hail mary.

So he should have just accepted a disatvantage and picked his main(s)? I don't understand the shame in utilizing your entire skillset.

 

[KidA Seven]

Didn't Daigo win the 1st match? After 1st sim win, he could had gone back to e ryu?

He lost the first match.



This is all pointless. PR Rog is going to shut us all up and beat Daigo. :lol

 

[FourMyle]

2/3 sucks

It really does. So many of these matches have been so close that a 3/5 would have changed everything imo.

Ricky vs Valmaster for example. I think that would have had a different outcome if it were 3/5. It was so freaking close.

 

[twothunder]

Bonchan out. Pretty exciting matches so far.

 

[zlatko]

So wanting to win is being desperate?

TROLOLOL. It's "desperate" to find a character that your opponent's character struggles with.

Xian is a rock solid SF player, and has attempted several of his other character's he's clearly an expert with.

To add, it's not like it was a hella free match for Sim, or that the advantage is MASSIVE for Sim in the match up. It was just enough of an edge for Xian who played rock solid with his Sim to squeak it out over Daigo.

If Daigo wanted the edge---he should have played Yun. OR asked for a blind pick.

If he wants to play with a handicap than more power to him, but at the end people won't "praise" it...it'll just be shown as a weakness of his due to arrogance or some other BS.

Oh and on top of that... honorable Daigo switched to Yun in the version of the game where that character ran buck wild, and dropped him like a bad habbit the moment the nerf came.

:/

 

[Imm0rt4l]

i mean would his yun be good enough to give Xian's Gen a run? cuz if not, the counter pick wouldn't work to actually win the set

the matchup is so bad that a competent yun can wreck sim. I'm pretty confident Daigo's is still strong enough to beat Xians sim.

 

[Skilotonn]

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

That's what I call it when he's tried three of his other mains in the past year and got destroyed all those times though.

After those three he went and dug out a character that he hadn't touched in years as a direct counterpick - just sayin'.

Again, it's big money on the line right now so I can't blame him.

*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.

Daigo stuck with E. Ryu when he got beat at EVO vs. F. Champ, he never switched/counterpicked though.

It's all for the win so I can't hate on him, he did get his ass whooped all year so he didn't want this ass-whooping to cost him 30k tonight.

 

[kirblar]

So he should have just accepted a disatvantage and picked his main(s)? I don't understand the shame in utilizing your entire skillset.

Not at all, there's no shame in it whatsoever! Just because it was desperate doesn't mean it wasn't super-smart (and also played off Daigo's self-imposed "no char switch" weakness.)

That's what I call it when he's tried three of his other mains in the past year and got destroyed all those times though.

Big Red X. These 2 have a history. Xian's been repeatedly bodied.

 

[malfcn]

Fair point. The hype now is real, but the new feel will be fun until things settle.

 

[xCobalt]

Is Infiltration the most desperate player of all time?

 

[Revven]

Come on NuckleDu, you can do this!

 

[Mik317]

The sunglasses do nothing

 

[kewlmyc]

Puts on the glasses, just to get bodied.

 

[Greenzxy]

Hopefully it's before 8 pm est.

Haha, I don't think so.

 

[Yatōkiri_Kilgharrah]

Yep this is boring.

Bruce Lee looking strong

Fuudo making this look free. Dude's gonna tear through user's bracket.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

In the beginning of ssf4 Daigo would occassionally bring out Guile for matches he didn't like. I wonder why he stopped doing that.

 

[fader]

fuudo shoved those glasses down du's mouth...

 

[hwateber]

Guile put on the glasses so you can't see the tears

 

[Ve1ocity]

God, Fuudos Fei Long is so annoying, I would smash my controller fighting him
