Fighting Tournament Weekend: Final Round XIX: Friends Among U.S.

I didn't think the FGC on GAF would also be roasting SFV.

I think most of us are largely enjoying the actual gameplay part of it, but I don't think anyone is thrilled about a lot of other stuff just like everyone else.

Also we kinda roast everything.
 
Maybe that guy from the DD who predicted an all American top 8 won't be so far off with his prediction after all 🙃
 
On one hand Art is the only stream left. On the other hand fuck USF4.

Daigo about to stream. You'll also see Japan's best claw in Nemo. Jiyuna said that he was given notes to translate as Daigo wants to explain the key to winning. So unlike in the last stream where he was translating on the spot, he'll be doing some reading for better translations.
 
There were 4 of them. Kazunoko, Reiketsu, GO1, and Dogura. So far only Reiketsu looked unimpressive.

Dogura isn't using very much SF5 specific Dictator stuff. He even tweeted that he was playing like SF4 but wasn't getting the returns on stuff he was doing, heh. Once he gets that stuff down, it's gonna be scary.
 
This Nash cosplayer with the 50 year old primary school teacher voice is making me all sorts of confused. Cujo Kate, I need you to help me with this.


This is Cujo Kate BTW.

So...as someone who watched a lot of Justin's Karin before: anyone else got the feeling he was holding back a little? No shoulder pressure, no air-to-airs, did not do his meaty setups after knockdowns and barely any EX tenko combos. Maybe he's just going the solid footsies route in a serious setting but I don't think that was 100% of Justin's Karin.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's saving stuff for the main event this weekend. I also wouldn't be surprised if he's just playing badly because he's been less than stellar the past two years or so competitively.

Ya I could see him just winning off of fundamentals and not because he's spent a lot of time in the game.
