She's the most "honest" top tier.

But no one values honesty.

 

[GeoNeo]

Resettttt.

I wonder how much money the winner takes home?

 

[Dahbomb]

America only sent FChamp and Ricky Ortiz to that event and FChamp still made top 8.

 

[dreamlongdead]

Punk can't afford to be cocky.

Knuckledu can easily bring it back.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Was Punk or Du at the tournament? The top Japanese players came to NCR and lost to these kids. They have been laying down the beat downs for a while now. Hell, Du is the Capcom Cup champ..and yet again he is in a grand final.

Gonna be interesting how Japan and the rest of the world hit back in future events.

Ya you can argue Du and punk are on a different level.

fchamp should have won the whole thing damn it.

At Ultimate Fighting Arena in Paris? I think K-Brad was there, too.

 

[Rainy]

I'm pulling for Du but I think Punk will take this.

 

[Tripon]

Punk with the mind games.

Yeah he got top 3 no? & should have been in finals got screwed by Magic pixel. 😂

 

[Rickenslacker]

Punk even taunting on character select. This thuggery tech too strong.

 

[NastyBook]

PUNK DA GAWD

 

[GodParticle]

The trolling haha. Too good

 

[mugwhump]

hahahaha fucking punk

 

[Syntsui]

Karin Kanzuki tho.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Resettttt.

I wonder how much money the winner takes home?

I think it's 7.5k for the 1st place in every premier event not sure how much the rest gets though.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Even the crowd is bored of the teabagging.

 

[GeoNeo]

WOWWWWW PUNK.

I think it's 7.5k for the 1st place in every premier event not sure how much the rest gets though.

Ah so 7.5K + pot. That is tidy amount of cash.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Punk is incredible

 

[jman2050]

[Tripon]

Wow, we're really going to see Punk in Capcom Cup.

 

[Syntsui]

We deserve that gif,

 

[Ninjimbo]

Du sucks lol

 

[Unlucky]

I wonder what the Japanese think of Punk's antics. Are they amused, or is it considered horribly unsportsmanlike and rude, from the point of view of their culture?

 

[Syntsui]

They think it's about the ethics of fighting games.

They don't care. They invited him to drinks like yesterday. He was sitting with Daigo and Haitiani etc.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Punk is too good and he just knows it.

 

[Dahbomb]

Damn Punk FREED up Du in that GF set.

I guess Japan was right about one thing... Punk is the best.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Goddamn.

What a performance.

 

[JayEH]

alex trailer hype

 

[biosnake20]

BEAST COAST

 

[NastyBook]

Two majors B2B for Punk? Then he's still got ELEAGUE? Dude is a monster.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Hopefully Punk can win some money this CPT. Maybe then he can afford pants that fit.

 

[lucebuce12]

Knew this was gonna happen.

Though I don't like him, I think Punk will win NCR.

Spoiler

There, now bet against him.

 

[GeoNeo]

Punk is redick. :O

So godlike.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Wow, we're really going to see Punk in Capcom Cup.

Honestly, who the hell was Punk before he beat Justin at the NA CPT Finals? I had heard of him as a online player, but never heard of him being a regular at tournaments let alone placing high at Majors. Now he's probably the best player in the world 6 months later? Besides "unknown Asian player" who was probably god like the whole time and never had the chance to show it off, I don't think anybody has ever risen this quickly.

 

[GeoNeo]

BOOOO LET ME HIM FUCKING SPEAK.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Congrats to Punk

 

[NastyBook]

*Punk grabs the headset*
"NO, WE HAVE SPONSORS!!"
Punk:

 

[JayEH]

lmao capcops shut down punk fast.

 

[allintospace]

This habitual teabagging is getting out of hand. It's not entertaining.

 

[dreamlongdead]

So Punk actually walked the walk.

This was a great tournament!

He improved very quickly

He was on ultrachentv recently with lud, who's alright but not great.

Lud said he could beat him at locals last year without much effort. Now he can't touch him, period.

Punk's around to stay.

Youth is a hell of a drug.

 

[Tripon]

We're done for this week. Next week is only ELEAGUE, and in two weeks is Dreamhack Austin, which got upgraded to a CPT Premier event this year. (Last year it was only a ranking event).

 

[Dahbomb]

Punk only lost to Du in the WF to keep it entertaining for the folks at home.

 

[Kashiwaba]

So did anyone check the peak number of viewers? I think it was 48~50K ish I guess not bad considering the time it's already 2am in the East coast here and way too late/early in the rest of the world.

 

[BlizzKrut]

That was a great showing by Punk, congrats!
Shame there was no trailer though, Capcom please :|

Yeah, what an amazing rise by Punk. He just dusted the man Nuckledu in two sets. No doubt he is one of the best in the world now.

Infiltration, AFAIK, came out of nowhere to get third at EVO in '10. That's maybe the most comparable case.
