Chun still top 5

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Feel like Marn should've brought out his Mika to throw people off. Ibuki is too much of a risk reward character when he could've went full dumb.

You can't go full dumb with Mika anymore. That's why everyone dropped her. She requires more risk than Ibuki does (both characters have 950 health, one is a grappler with mediocre footsies and a bad oki game outside of the corner), and she needs methodical, deliberate pacing and footsies or you get blown up. It's not Season 1 anymore.

Chun still top 5

laura got a 10-0 matchup against her

 

[AlexIIDX]

I can see Gllty getting a win over Valle. The others are just way too strong, but I'll welcome any upset.

Snake Eyes too, especially if he sticks with Gief against Dhalsim.

He might use his mediocre Akuma.

I guess you're right if we're strictly talking about Marn's playstyle. Maybe I've been watching too much of Fuudo's Mika.

What about Necalli?

 

[Immortal Technique]

E-sportsness was on high alert my friends. Comes with the territory I know. Other than that, loved the action today.

Just behind broken tier Alex and banned tier FANG.

Where's Ibuki's risk at?

nah its still 7-3 in Chun's favour.

As a Season 1 Chun Li main once told me: "git gud"

What about Necalli?

Still top 1

 

[lucebuce12]

Still top 1

Top 2 at best.

Spoiler

Top 4 at worst.

 

[Sayad]

Wait, so looking at SRK results page, those players advance to another group to play each others again?! A runback stage sound really underwhelming!

Fuudo doesn't have dumb either.

Yeaaaa that sounds really dumb lol. But at least they can get that salty runback

It's like divisions in football except at least there are games outside of their divisions during the regular season. Doesn't seem like we are getting any variety in the fights until the playoffs. Seems to kinda be luck of the draw what division you're in and if you get a gravy train like gooteks but i guess pools in tournaments work the same way as far as if you're lucky enough to be in a weak pool.

marn got bopped

part of me wanted him to stay in just for the randomness and Ibuki

When thing to always remember about Marn is that he falls apart when it matter the most.

Bruh...

What do you consider "full dumb," if you think Fuudo's amazing, calculated, footsies and neutral oriented Mika is crazy play?

 

[Baleoce]

Just watching this back on Eleagues youtube channel. Production level is nice. Invitationals always seem to be a step up in this regard for the FGC. Last time I enjoyed one this much was probably the Red Bull Kumite tournament.

EDIT - Looking at the results as well, Punk tho... He's 18. Shiiiet. Give him a couple of years and he could be dominating.

And this thumbnail is killing me xD

 

[DKL]

Bruh...

Just kill me, fam.

He's my choice for Capcom Cup this year, actually.

His mental game is clearly developing too. There was one point where Momochi did that hadouken xx super hit confirm, but Punk answered back next round with fucking counterpoke super in order to tell Momochi that he ain't slick.

Also, I both loved and hated his match with Julio.

Shit gave me cancer.

 

[Syntsui]

FGC is the best community.

 

[Taliban Stan]

This happening every day this week is the closest I'm ever going to come to March Madness.

Thank you, FGC. My boss is gone and I needed something to occupy my time post-lunch.

 

[Lulubop]

Today gonna be hype. Daigo gonna catch bodies with Gully

Today is going to be so hype!

I'm so glad this is happening this week, I'm so bored and this is making it easier.

Nah I was saying that Fuudo plays mad clean so I kind of forgot Marn's Mika is not like his.

 

[mbpm1]

Oh, you mean Gweelay

 

[vypek]

I'm not into fighting games that much and only casually played a few franchises but I love to watch chunks of these tournaments and check out these threads. Although there is a lot that I don't understand in thread, its still fun lol

Decided to follow eleagueTV on Twitch

I hoped that was what you were saying, lol.

 

[Baleoce]

I don't really get why Ricki stuck with Chun for this invitational knowing the defecit she'd be up against. She says she's going to change to Cammy over the course of the season. Surely the best point in the season to try that out against the best competition is in a non-capcom cup related invitational.

Maybe she wants to put in a last-ditch buff plea to Capcom.

10 minutes until they welcome us back to the stage of history.

 

[Syntsui]

Look at these scrubs placements, ugh.

 

[MrCarter]

It's back on.

 

[DKL]

Sajam talking about legendary blowup from A3 or whatever lol

(I assume it was a blowup, but should recheck the tapes since that's pretty far back and I only experienced that era via youtube vids)

 

[Syntsui]

Was Justin really undefeated for 4 years in MvC2 or was that only at EVO?

 

[Sayad]

Anyone have the link to the stream that gives you FM?

 

[Lulubop]

Not just evo, Sanford finally beat at like a local. It was a big deal

 

[sibarraz]

I have been out of loop with the fgc for a while, but when did UltraDavid and James Chen stopped being the official voice for capcom tournaments?

No they stopped being the only options.

Still, I'm surprised they're not here but this is a weekday thing and not a weekend thing

 

[Jer]

I think he got put into losers a few times in that run, but IIRC he won every tournament he entered from like B5 in 2001 until he finally lost to Sanford in 2005. But I'm old, so my memory might be a little off.

Sajam is the younger, sleeker voice twin of David and few people like James' tangents

rkappa getting the shoutout. oh no

Also, I checked the tapes...

Valle and Daigo old as fuck now ;_;
