Punk is ridiculous. How did this guy come out of nowhere and be this good lmao.

Infiltration did the same in SFIV, with the "I play the whole roster" shtick.

 

[mentallyinept]

Punk is channeling Infiltration with these reads.

The number of times I've said "Oh my God" in the span of the Punk v. Kasunoko match is a new record for me.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Which stream is he on!? I got Sajam and Chen

The Mandalay Bay Arena Stream Kappa

They're the venue commentators

 

[Femto.]

What? Takido and Kaz look 20.

The power of Asian genes.

 

[ScribbleD]

Which stream is he on!? I got Sajam and Chen

He and Joe are doing commentary for the audience in the arena

 

[MrCarter]

SFV at 205,000 viewers between Twitch and YouTube now. Crazy top 8.

 

[Lulubop]

mvci commercial on espn2

 

[SargerusBR]

Nobody is taking 6 games off Punk.

People said Tokido would not make it top 64
People said Tokido was free to Du's Guile

Don't ever doubt the power of the Dark Hadou.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Punk giving Tokido lots of praise, it's still his tournament to lose.

Although FChamp was so close to beating him =/

 

[Dahbomb]

This just makes SnakeEyez' win over him at CEO even more impressive. Like, how the fuck did he manage to pull that off?

If you saw that match then you would know that Punk wasn't playing 100% that entire tournament. He was goofing around trolling people with Pokemon hats.

This is serious mode Punk. He hasn't smiled a single time at this top 8.

 

[JayEH]

Infinite commercial on ESPN.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Which stream is he on!? I got Sajam and Chen

He's in house commentary. So unless someone is streaming from the arena you're not gonna hear him.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Punk has to play sloppy + opponent has to be on their A game to have a chance against Punk.

I don't see Punk losing 6 games.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

The Mandalay Bay Arena Stream Kappa

They're the venue commentators

Dammit!

 

[Syntsui]

This just makes SnakeEyez' win over him at CEO even more impressive. Like, how the fuck did he manage to pull that off?

Punk wasn't serious that time, all those Pokémon shenanigans only helped SnakeEyez to focus even more.

 

[Xeteh]

What? Takido and Kaz look 20.

Kaz is ~30 and Tokido won Evo back in 2002.

 

[RecRoulette]

SFV at 205,000 viewers between Twitch and YouTube now. Crazy top 8.

And you know there's a good number of people watching on ESPN2 as well.

 

[Alchemist]

Craziest thing about Punk is that dude was a nobody this time last year. He's won almost everything since.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Do it for America and Senpai Bonchan.

Shit you SF at Evo you might just be the goat for beating Japan.

Time to make history.

 

[Gorillaz]

I"ve literally had the evo mind blown face since the end of smash

 

[LiK]

Chen sounds tired lol

 

[creatchee]

Punk to all competitors:

 

[Krixeus]

SFV at 205,000 viewers between Twitch and YouTube now. Crazy top 8.

This is streamed on YT as well? What's the channel?

 

[mreddie]

Craziest thing about Punk is that dude was a nobody this time last year. He's won almost everything pretty convincingly since.

He's the Daniel Bryan of the FGC

 

[Uncreative]

This just makes SnakeEyez' win over him at CEO even more impressive. Like, how the fuck did he manage to pull that off?

I know Punk 3-0'd Itabashi earlier, but I still think he has a better chance than Kazunoko would in a runback. I just don't see Punk getting beat in footsies. Beating him today is going to take a character with a stronger mixup game.

 

[def sim]

no one actually wants to use gief's parry

 

[Order]

Itabashi looks so happy to be there

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

And you know there's a good number of people watching on ESPN2 as well.

And there's disney

 

[Falchion]

The bear is back!!!

 

[LegoArmo]

He's just doing it over and over, I love it.

 

[ramoisdead]

Itabashi is so good at controlling Russian Bear.

The Evo stream has been running great for the whole time until this evening, now it keeps breaking up on me. I’ve got 500mb down and up and am hardwired on my computer. Anyone else having issues?

 

[Immortal Technique]

This is serious mode Punk. He hasn't smiled a single time at this top 8.

Yep Punk is all business, he is locked in

 

[sixteen-bit]

These max range SPDs give me life

 

[Wallach]

tokido is going to get to GF and get fucking mopped isn't he

 

[MAtgS]

And there's disney

Yeah but they have to stare at all of the black bars Disney put up after that first match.

 

[ScribbleD]

When was the last time an American won SF at Evo (non side tourney)? ST?

 

[rec0ded1]

Tokido letting the murder build

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Nobody is taking 6 games off Punk.

Yep someone might have chance if he came from losers but he got this .

 

[salty_Josh]

THE MURDER FACE

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Tokido is in the zone. He's the best bet at beating Punk I think. Especially if it's true that he 10-0'd him at one point in time.

 

[Syntsui]

When was the last time an American won SF at Evo (non side tourney)? ST?

Never?

 

[MutFox]

tokido is going to get to GF and get fucking mopped isn't he

History shows it...

i got 130 down and its fresh as hell. I'm watching through VLC though not a web browser.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Craziest thing about Punk is that dude was a nobody this time last year. He's won almost everything since.

His rise is meteoric. Wasn't on the radar last Evo to possible US SF evo winner.

 

[roflwaffles]

I originally found out about Punk because of a BasedMonster video - been a huge fan ever since.

 

[Forward]

I mean, I still think Tokido has this in the bag, but I WANT to believe Punk can win.

 

[Astral]

Tokido's hair is dope.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Is there a summary of everything that was announced/revealed at EVO?

I got :

Abigail at SFV
PREDICTABO in Tekken
the Blazblue crossover with Persona, RBWY and undernight
Trunks in DBFZ
The Smash clone
Fighting Layer with Skullomania and Darun Mister


was that all ?

 

[abstract alien]

Ita needs to win this for the people.
