that max range dp by poongko to close the round out was soooooo risky

 

[pixelish]

LOL poongko ended the round with ex sonic boom > triple dash > ex dp

edit: poongko's ultra game is amazing right now. he's 4/4 with his ultra.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Triple dash into EX DP for the win. Don't know if it was chip or a legit win because they turned away from the screen.

 

[Conceited]

triple dash ex dp for the win by poongko!

3-2 poongko

 

[Conceited]

poongko abusing headstomps

4-3

 

[pixelish]

all these dirty setups and shenanigans showcased in this match are the reasons why i like poongko so much lol

 

[Conceited]

this day alone has been worth the price of admission

4-4!

 

[Rice-Eater]

OMG, Bonchan focus dashes stretchy arms and wins with U2 punish. We're gonna have another 5-4 match, the 5th of the day.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Poongko climbs out of the grave and forces a final round. Poongko takes the match after Bonchan focus dashed stretchy arms and punishes with U2 again. Another great set, Bonchan nearly had it but Poongko had a huge come back in the 2nd round of the last game.

 

[Conceited]

yo seriously

another last game last round

 

[Kimosabae]

No one's providing a play by play for this like yesterday, huh?

 

[pixelish]

YESSSS POONGKO YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

 

[Conceited]

POONG

K.O.

 

[GeoNeo]

FUCK YEAH POONGKOOOOOOOO.

GOOD SHIT.

The struggle is real Count.

 

[TheThunder]

Great set between Bonchan and Poongko, I felt those Sagat jumping fierces from here lol

 

[atomic moth]

I'm pretty excited about Tekken 7. Tekken 7 is the next sequel in a popular fighting game franchise.

 

[pixelish]

all the matches involving poongko have been excellent. i think he's the mvp of the tournament so far.

edit: anyone knows if xian and sako have played each other in ultra before?

edit2: i think xian just said he's ready to expose sako's elena with his gen as he used elena as well.

 

[FourMyle]

Poongko D:

Can't wait to see some gifs

 

[RockTurtle]

man today has just been a good day.

its like everyone came back fresh for todays matches and are making it apparent!

 

[Horseress]

Taking the world champ to duff city has tons of recovery frames huh

Yep, in a little event called "Capcom Cup". Sako beat Xian with Evil Ryu to be the first CapCup Champ.

i said ultra breh

 

[Rice-Eater]

i said ultra breh

Oh, damn it. I felt pretty good about that reply to

 

[KidA Seven]

i said ultra breh

No. Sako has only competed in topanga exhibition 2v2, cannes, shadowloo, and now this in 1.04. Not sure about evo.

 

[Tik-Tok]

Taking the world champ to duff city has tons of recovery frames huh

aaaAAAaaa dance at the end

 

[RockTurtle]

Taking the world champ to duff city has tons of recovery frames huh

this gif has so much content in it.

Smug with the sigh of relief recovery period.

Momochi with the long walk to smug for the gentleman's shake.

smug denying momochi the shake and the finger wag for "i need some more time to recover"

momochi with the awkward body language, fixing his sweater, looking to the back in obvious frustration and probably thinking to himself "Oh come on man, hurry up i wanna do the sportsmanlike shake so i can leave". look at his face during the turn.

smug finally giving him the shake, standing up, backwards hat. and the finger wiggles for "oh yeah i'm awesome!"

 

[Rice-Eater]

Sako down 0-2, he went to the character select screen but decided to stay with Elena instead of switching to Evil Ryu.

Wait what? Elena can low profile Gen's EX DP? Xian has landed like 3 or 4 random Ultras so far lol.

 

[GeoNeo]

Sako gets a win.

Xian 2-1 Sako.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Another random Ultra by Xian, when will Sako ever learn lol.

 

[CurlyW]

No. Sako has only competed in topanga exhibition 2v2, cannes, shadowloo, and now this in 1.04. Not sure about evo.

You mean the event where he made Top 8?

 

[GeoNeo]

Xian abusing the Ultra bug Gen has. He is doing it on wake up but you can make it safe on block.

 

[KidA Seven]

You mean the event where he made Top 8?

Yeah that event. Not sure if he played Xian on the way to top 8.

edit: Did you think I didn't know if he played at EVO? Original question was if he played Xian in Ultra.

 

[Rice-Eater]

4-1 Xian so far, this is about to be a blow up unless Sako can make a miraculous comeback.

Xian finishes the set by whiff punishing something with cr. MP, hands, super.

 

[GeoNeo]

Xian takes it 5-1.

 

[RockTurtle]

i wanna know what Xian's training regimen is like.

 

[KidA Seven]

i wanna know what Xian's training regimen is like.

Luffy was on R's show that's streamed on nico nico and Luffy said he only practiced 1-3 hours a week. R started laughing because the japanese players all practice for 7-10 hours a day.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Luffy's been doing his homework. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes it over Daigo but I'll be rooting for the beast.

EDIT: Daigo with 2 convincing wins now.

EDIT: Damn, Daigo whiff punishes reflect with Ultra to take game 3.

EDIT: Another dominating game by Daigo, he's on game point now. I didn't expect this after how good Louffy looked in the first game.

EDIT: Daigo wins with a big come back in the final round to take the set.

Daigo had a lot of dominating rounds, so this was definitely a blow up even if you ignore the score. I kept editing because I see no one posting so I didn't want to have 5 consecutive post by me lol.

and MAHVEL is the culprit for some high profile carpal tunnel syndrome situations :s

or maybe they have wide pathways for their nerves!

 

[fader]

Smug went toe to toe with Sako and beat momochi!?!? what?!

 

[FourMyle]

5-1 Daigo

the beast

 

[GeoNeo]

Damn, Daigo bopped Louffy. 5-1

 

[TheThunder]

2 blow ups in a row, still a great day, and Poongko bringing the hype close sets.

 

[hitsugi]

Some results a surprise, others not so much..

Xian blowing up Sako was probably the biggest one for me.

 

[BadWolf]

Well Sako isn't attending much tournaments these days whereas Xian has been going in hard.

 

[fader]

look at this cool pic HJM is drawing.

Concieted, your welcome.

*it says Smug Wins at the bottom*

 

[Exr]

I remember coming to 4 from 3s and hating the goofy shit like invincible backdashes, ultras, the way the combos work etc. Im still not a fan of it but now Im much more into it thanks to the level of play we have now. These matches sound amazing and Im really glad Smug won some.
Doea China have any other super dominant players? I know of Xiaohai and Dakou but there must be others right?

 

[BotoxAgent]

how many false block string Ultra punishes did Daigo do?

 

[GeoNeo]

Great matches today.

Anyone know how long it takes NicoNico before time shift of today's broadcast is up?

 

[Mr. X]

Smug doesn't let the loses from the day before get to him and does very well today. Awesome.

I really want to see how he played vs Elena

Dudley's strength is in his damage/dizzy output. Dudley is never really out of a match because because in most cases, 2 combos are a dizzy. Dud's normals are butt though.
EX Thunderbolt does an absurd amount of chip damage.
U1 vs Sagat - eh, U2 has way more utility and U1 does add anything that Duck Upper FADC doesn't in the scare department and I say this as someone who use to use U1 vs Sagat.
