I'm joking.

Eita encapsulates exactly how SFV should be played to an extent - being able to balance aggression and defense. He isn't so good at the latter, but Momo is too soft.

Seriously this tournament is turning how people play SFV on its side with these upsets.

It's also showing some of the mixups touted that would start at the start of SFV is finally happening with some newer faces.

[Endless-Bravado]

Xian putting in work god damn. Such a great player!

 

[Baleoce]

Necalli is so dull to watch though. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate good Necalli play, but in general it's just not very exciting for some reason.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

Watching Xian is just pure joy. He's so patient.

 

[XenoRaven]

I don't really like Xian and I do like Bee, but it's fun seeing Bee get out-cheesed for once.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Heh, poison has never seemed so effective.

 

[sixteen-bit]

so sick

 

[Neoxon]

XIAN WINS 3-0!!!!!

 

[Lyonaz]

Xian hardest working FANG so godlike.

 

[Gr1mLock]

N... nerf fang?

 

[RecRoulette]

I love Bruce, but had to root against him this time.

Edit: Fang's definitely getting buffed after the season right?

 

[Gambit61]

Xian so good at taking advantage of the poison status

 

[TheChits]

Dude is just a ridiculously great player

 

[Alchemist]

Give Xian the cup now

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Xian dominated, hope he can keep it up.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Damn impressive showing.

 

[WarRock]

wake up jump button let's goooooooo

 

[Hueytothe]

Xian made that matchup look like it was in Fang's favor wow.

 

[Goodstyle]

Now THAT is some awesome SFV play. FANG is underpowered, but his fundamental design is fun and smart. This is why we need characters that are outside the box.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Fucking Xian is being held back by FANG and he's STILL kicking ass. What if he actually gets a great character (whether it's a buffed FANG or a new character)?

 

[HardRojo]

That pressure was a joy to watch, but so fucking irritating to play against lol.

 

[Pure_Phazon]

Incoming FANG dlc costume? Man, Xian looked so good right there. Hope he keeps it up.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Let's go Kbrad

 

[SMK]

Defense vs EXTREME defense

 

[Mr. X]

Fang's playstyle is actually really well design. He stands out with how he is focused on building up gray damage. I'm hoping Capcom gives us another character that is tailored fit to SFV like that.

 

[Producer]

my dhalsim dawg

 

[RecRoulette]

Dhalsim is an absolute joy to watch in this game.
