Based HBox actually fucking did it. Well deserved.

An amazing set and a great Top 8 all around.

 

[Hot Coldman]

oh shit is TekkenxStreetFighter rising from the grave?!

I have a question. When Armada was two stocks up and it was 2-1, hungrybox whiffed rest. Did armada go for an optimal punish and it whiffed?

Yeah.

IIRC he shot lasers to build percent, uptilted to launch him (more damage than upthrow), then went for uair but didn't get the strong hit. That was optimal at that percent but still may not have KO'd, don't remember what the percent was.

I thought he went for a neutral air, hit, but didn't get a follow up. Unless we're talking about a different situation?

 

[dralla]

I don't understand how people who get second place looked to be happy and congratulating the winner. It happened pretty much all day. If I lost in GF I'd react the same way this Swedish bro did.

[Lucumo]

If SFV could even do close to that after only a few months of release it will be amazing.

Not really. A few months after the release is the time when a game is usually most hype.

 

[BY2K]

The bald dude literally looked like he was lecturing Armada about how it's not bad to lose.

Why do we fall, Mr. Armada?

seems T7 announcement next

New characters I hope!

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Can someone give me background on LI Joe? I haven't heard of him before this one.

he was really good at vanilla SF4, but slowly dropped off throughout the updates. he is also one of the tournament organizers for East Coast Throwdown (an annual major tournament)

 

[Soulstar]

Lei Wulong for SFV, let's go.

As long as he is in Tekken 7 also I'll take it.

 

[Ultimadrago]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reposting.

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

Man...I'd love for LI Joe to win it all.

1 of the 3 Nash players will probably win... Joe is the least likely though.

 

[cordy]

Gimme Lei Wulong and another character

Gimme Sakura in a non-schoolgirl outfit Harada. Let's do dis shit!!!

 

[Fright Zone]

Is there any way I can watch ESPN2 in the UK!?

A tekken announcement before SF?

hmmmmmmmm

 

[RecRoulette]

No way in hell this basketball game wraps up by 10...uh oh.

 

[SmackAttack]

Armada is right to be bummed out but he should also feel good about how well he bounced back. Taking the GF to a Game 5 after a reset all the way to the very last stock per character is no small feat. He did good.

 

[Lucumo]

Well, time to go. Have fun, guys.

 

[Darkman M]

Would it really matter though? The numbers they get from people watching on TV is going to be higher than the Twitch numbers.

This is true.

[SDBurton]

LOL

 

["God's Beard!"]

Also, Li Joe used to drive down to Chinatown Fair and sleep in his car so he could grind out the newest version of games while he hung out with friends. Dude legitimately loves the fgc.

 

[Pachinko]

So much salt in second third and forth place , everyone else was just happy to be there

 

[Requeim]

If it's a character announcement for Tekken 7 it better be Lee.

 

[Chase17]

A tekken announcement before SF?

hmmmmmmmm

Lucky chloe for SFV confirmed

 

[chaosblade]

Yeah.

Might have been neutral air, I know he did lasers and then utilt though. If it was from 0 then it probably was nair.

M2K probably feels he could have done better. But Westballz, S2J, and PewPewU are probably stoked with their placement. Wes usually busters out at Evo despite being one of the top players.

ITS HAPPENING. TEKKEN X SF BABY

 

[KingBroly]

A tekken announcement before SF?

hmmmmmmmm

Don't look too much into it. Tekken usually makes an announcement here since this is when they do announcements and Community Awards

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

oh shit is TekkenxStreetFighter rising from the grave?!

Yo, don't fuck with my emotions, T7 ain't even out on consoles yet.

Spoiler

based Harada

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

That was probably the greatest esports GF ive ever seen

It's definitely up there, especially considering the matchup of two not particularly "flashy" playstyles.

 

[lupinko]

nah, just Heihachi in SFV

Spoiler

Fuck that, I want my Tekken main, Kazumi, it's all about dat Mama Kaz.

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if 1 Tekken character does get announced at some point.

 

[Eidan]

Don't say that! Dreams do come true!

 

[Teknopathetic]

Julia Chang or Alisa secret SFV character.

 

[lazybones18]

Summer League game just ended its 3rd Quarter. 30 mins left!

 

[Obliterator]

I know I'm way late and that this is random but I just now watched the KI Top 8 and that shit was so hype. Amazing matches

 

[sf2fanatic]

I want some T7 arcade news. So I can venture out to Round1 and play

 

[Darkman M]

Not really. A few months after the release is the time when a game is usually most hype.

Nah I'm pretty sure SF4 peaked last year in viewers. SF has long legs and its still a infant right now.

I hope it's Leo

 

[cordy]

A lot of people are forgetting that they officially announced T7 before SFV in 2014. This lines up with it.

 

[Codeblue]

Is Hungrybox still a Chemical Engineer?

Yes.

 

[Hot Coldman]

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if 1 Tekken character does get announced at some point.

oh definitely

SFV Season 2 will be Akuma and Heihachi bare minimum

 

[jett]

Jin Kazama for SFV, no doubt.
