Daigo about to call emergency top Japanese player meeting.

.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I cracked up at Infiltration's "Download Complete." I didn't expect him to say that haha.

 

[Romars202129]

I wanted Joe to win, cause Murica. But honestly infiltration is the only player I knew before top 8. He's a great dude, played a great game, and I'm glad he won!

 

[orthodoxy1095]

We can never watch this on just Twitch again.

 

[Sou Da]

Tuned back into twitch, who's the great value ultradavid?

 

[XenoRaven]

No one adapts like Infiltration. Dude is incredible at reading people.

lol Japan has only won one of the last 5 evo's in SF (last year with Momochi).

 

[redhood56]

Well that was hype, the ESPN2 stream was fantastic and hope it becomes a regular thing

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Will we be able to watch the ESPN archives for free?

 

[mysteriousmage09]

I can't believe Capcom didn't show a single fucking thing.

 

[John Rabbit]

They're not showing the other's being awarded their medals?

Yeah this is some bullshit.

Mika is the most brain dead character in the game. She throws you in the corner with her stupid clap, and then puts you in 10 different 50-50s until she wins. To beat Mika you have to be luckier than her, or, like in Infiltration's case, a much, much better player than your opponent.

 

[Disxo]

Awesome last day overall, shame for the rest of the days though, and the sound quality.
It always can be improved

 

[joe2187]

I was rooting for Mika and Fuddo...

But Infiltration won my heart

 

[def sim]

He didn't cry. Fighting games are dead.

 

[LiK]

As someone very peripheral to the FGC scene generally, and almost totally uninvolved since SFV, what was the 'download complete' reference to?

Enjoyable top 8, even though SFV doesn't really excite me like previous titles.

Seth just explained it bro.

When you "download" your opponent it means you found out their strategy during the set and can now predict their moves.

 

[pooptest]

He was sooooooooo close at the very end, you could see it.

 

[Loomer]

JamesJam was good stuff.

"Download Complete" is when someone completely analyzes someone's play-style/strategy & counters their every move, trick, & gimmick. Basically, if you used tricks that worked before on someone won't work anymore once said person "downloads" you.

 

[SarcasticD]

ESPN coverage was pretty fantastic.

From the beautiful slums of arcade to Mandalay Bay

What a time to be alive

She's so fun tho.

 

[bryt]

Esports killed James. He didn't cry

 

[jediyoshi]

Yooooooo the Evo hype video on twitch

 

[Gunslinger]

Sorry but I dont think i can go back to twitch anymore. ESPN broadcast was godlike.

 

[John Rabbit]

Only James and Seth cry because they're both softies.

 

[lucebuce12]

His eyes were definitely getting a bit watery but no real tears FGC is ded.

he owns him completely, file on his hard drive, every bit known, nothing fuudo can do that he won't have an answer for

it's a way of saying total domination

I love these ending Evo videos

 

[wheeplash]

For anyone that missed it:

[SFV] Infiltration.EXE DOWNLOAD.COMPLETE - EVO2016

 

[M_A_C]

that was great. I hope ESPN leads to bigger and better things!

 

[Einchy]

Yeah, he was getting glassy eyed.

James Chen is the man.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I will always root against the Mika player, sorry Fuudo.

Never. The production values were insane on ESPN. As they should be I know, but still.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Time to turn this Directv box off again. Finally became useful for me, that presentation was crisp and smooth, good job ESPN2.

 

[firehawk12]

No top 8 awards is kind of sad. But I guess ESPN rushed them off.

 

[qcf x2]

But Infiltration won my heart

Kinda the opposite for me. I've long been a Fuudo fan, but I couldn't bear to see Infiltration lose to f+mp.

"Download Complete" means you know your opponent's every strategy.

 

[Neoxon]

I can't believe Capcom didn't show a single fucking thing.

Juri & Urien were already shown (albeit unfinished) in the Cinematic Story Mode. They announced that Juri will be out by the end of July before Top 8 started.
