Yukadon would get destroyed by Infiltration

He already was loooooool

 

[HotHamBoy]

Definitely.

Going by Twitter there might be more people watching that don't want to than willing viewers

Lol need tweets

 

[NaM]

Is Yukadon 10 years old or what? looks way too young

 

[Daft Punk]

Melee was at 232900 at the end, 230k right at the last stock of the last match.
SF5 has reached 217k.

Does it really matter? ESPN numbers make these numbers irrelevant. Besides, can't we just enjoy the games for what they are? smdh

 

[wheeplash]

Yukadon has Chun Li read like a god damn college assignment before finals.

 

[jediyoshi]

so the rest of this tournament is to get to see who loses to infil huh

 

[TheSpoiler]

Yeah, not many characters can deal with an expert turtle nor those brutal air lightning kicks.

Turtling is like the last thing you can say about infli and his Nash lol

 

[Sinatar]

Yukadon would get destroyed by Infiltration

Who do you think put him in losers?

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

She's Mika tier.

Spoiler

She's good, not godlike but very strong.

They're strong but no, I don't think they're in need of a nerf. If they were overpowered they'd win everything. Chun hasn't won shit, Infiltration is the only Nash that wins. Ryu has won more and been more consistently in the top 8 and hell, Ken has won more tournaments.

They're fine, stop trying to balance the game when it is pretty much there.

everything. They're completely fair

 

[silentQ]

so the rest of this tournament is to get to see who loses to infil huh

Yup and that's why Infultration bores me.

 

[Kintaro]

162k on main twitch stream now.

Yup and that's why Infultration bores me.

Not his fault he outclasses nearly every one else out there. The field need to step their game up.

Of course, seeing the poor amount of money given at the "biggest fighting game tournament in the world" doesn't really encourage the grind for a Pro.

 

[Fitts]

you can't deny those 2 characters are easily top 2, at least top 3 imo are the worst things you can say about them
when a character is that good, they should be nerfed, easy as that

The thing about Nash and Chun are that they aren't cheap though. They're legitimately difficult to use to their potential. (at least I think so) That's fine to nerf them, but I take nothing away from those who do well with them.

 

[Vex_]

Yukadon would get destroyed by Infiltration

I really hope he does.


It is always so much sweeter when you pull a victory from under someone when they are so close. I want that built in smile he has to disappear.

Gyyyaaahhhahahaha

 

[GaimeGuy]

Yukadon would get destroyed by Infiltration

Infiltration put him in losers.

 

[LiK]

Is Yukadon 10 years old or what? looks way too young

lol, i know right

 

[ramoisdead]

Yukadon would get destroyed by Infiltration

Everyone is going to get destroyed by Infiltration.

 

[ironmang]

nash and chun are undeniable top 2 characters atm, they must get nerfed
just buff the characters at the bottom, the other A-A+ characters can stay the way it is and it should be perfect

The cast is still small enough that nerfs are unnecessary. Like you said just buff the bottom characters and everybody should be happy. Having your character nerfed is super depressing.

 

[GorillaJu]

Wait so is rmika top tier?

I think so, definitely. If she isn't top tier, she's in the "has all the tools she needs" tier. I think "top tier" has a lot of characters in it. Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Mika, Vega, Nash, Karin are all top tier.

 

[Line_HTX]

SPINNINGU BOD KYAKKU!!!

DansGame

 

[Dark Ninja]

Is Yukadon 10 years old or what? looks way too young

I think they mentioned he's 14

 

[Trickster]

162k on main twitch stream now.

Not surprising when you get chun mirrors and then chun/nash matches. Very boring to watch honestly.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Oh great another person ignoring that these are the best players in the world and the matches are all exciting because of the excellent play

Oh great

 

[Already Torn]

Wait, is Fuudo still in it?

 

[Foggy]

Yukadon is so sick. Wouldn't be shocked to see him claw his way to GF and get bodied again

 

[Femto.]

I think they mentioned he's 14

Surely, you jest.

 

[Anth0ny]

viewership went down after joe lost lol

japanese stream at almost 30k, as you'd expect

 

[Vex_]

SPINNINGU BOD KYAKKU!!!

Oh god. This makes me so mad when I hear or see these words...

 

[Robot Pants]

Man I try. But this game is just a snoozefest

 

[lazybones18]

Wait, is Fuudo still in it?

yep

 

[depths20XX]

People calling for Chun nerfs when they couldn't play the character for shit. She hasn't been dominating tourneys. Chill out and let the game rock.

 

[ramoisdead]

GO1 is gassed.

 

[XenoRaven]

Mika player beat a Chun player and Chun is obviously ridiculously OP which means we also have to nerf Mika

 

[DoubleTake]

Nash v Nash Final coming up huh :/

 

[Matsukaze]

Yukadon smells blood

 

[sf2fanatic]

Yup and that's why Infultration bores me.

Wait til a lot more characters are introduced in this game. He never bores people.

 

[Trickster]

Wait, is Fuudo still in it?

Winners side

 

[A Pretty Panda]

4th place

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Mike 4th place Ross

 

[BY2K]

VGBootCamp is dropping Hyuga from their team.

[TheSpoiler]

Man that's fine if you don't like it but I'm loving this expert play here. It's not like I am watching bronze boyz go at it

 

[fr0st]

4th place reference.

 

[LiK]

need a miracle where Mika takes it all the way to GF

 

[Already Torn]

yep

That's gonna be great then!

 

[jett]

Is the twitch stream running like shit for anyone else? This seems to happen at EVERY SINGLE BIG EVENT I watch. I don't know if it's twitch, the streamers, the PS4 app, or what, but it'll run fine for hours and then suddenly start stuttering and skipping when things get exciting.

Whatever, I just switched over to ESPN2.

Me too. I assume our ISPs throttle twitch during peak hours.

 

[Gunslinger]

Man after watching EVO on ESPN i don't know if I can go back to watching twitch. I hope Capcom Cup is broadcasted on ESPN too.

 

[Vex_]

viewership went down after joe lost lol

japanese stream at almost 30k, as you'd expect

Wait. The job stream WENT down when Joe lost?


Why? Didn't think they'd even care.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I think so, definitely. If she isn't top tier, she's in the "has all the tools she needs" tier. I think "top tier" has a lot of characters in it. Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Mika, Vega, Nash, Karin are all top tier.

Well shit go Mika!!!

 

[KevinCow]

Oh my god, watching on ESPN2 now, and it's almost as annoying as the stuttering, freezing mess that is twitch because of how you can hear the echo of the other announcers in the background. Why didn't they just use the same announcers for both?

 

[Qvoth]

can't believe there are actually people saying nash and chun shouldn't get nerfed at all

 

[Revven]

Ehhhh, I'm gonna go to bed. The rest of these matches aren't really doing it for me this year; probably the MUs. Too little variety even if I know the players are extremely good. I suppose if there was actually a player I cared about or a MU I really cared to see (as in player MU, not character MU, like if it was Daigo vs Infil) left then I'd stick around for the rest but there really isn't.

LI Joe getting eliminated really killed a lot of my interest lol. Because I quickly realized all the players in the Top 8 I don't particularly care for (other than Infil and maybe Fuudo but... then not enough to make me stay up later).

Plus, I didn't get much sleep last night so g'night GAF. Enjoy the rest of SFV.
