Damn Ploid you should get paid for this, you even got ME excited for the match haha! How awesome would it be if we could watch these matches live, or at least have them recorded locally then uploaded!.
Since you gave the Bruce Buffer hype, I'll provide the sherdog style "analysis" Note - All this comes from previous experiences with said players.
Team 7 vs Team 6
Killa Sasa (Cammy) vs Lyte Edge (Chun-Li)
Before I get on to the analysis, I gott give my boy Killa Sasa a little snippet here.
I believe that when Killa Sasa(KS) is at the top of his game, he can beat anyone on GAF psn. Unfortunately, KS tends to be streaky, sometimes going extremely hot, other times, being so erratic that he must be questioning his career choice of SF4. KS's 0-2 tournament record might fool some, but not me. Both of his matches have been against two players in what I'd call the S-Tier of GAF psn. Against Slayn, KS proved that he could be at the top, but just couldn't win in a match that could very well end differently on another Sunday. Against Gutter, KS had the misfortune of not only playing one of GAF's best, but going against a character(Honda) that is a terrible matchup for Cammy. It doesn't help that KS is new to the match up as well. At the end of the day, KS is VERY dangerous, anyone that's played him knows this.
Lyte Edge (LE) is a player that I've spent far less time with. I believe the only time we've played was our singles tourney match. Sorry LE, I can't give you a hype segment here.
On to the analysis. KS loves to play a very aggressive rushdown Cammy. Liberal use of cr. lk setups to throws or hit confirms are the norm with him. Once he gets in close, he's VERY hard to get off. He loves to play mind games after a close range air spike, and has steadily been improving with his Focus Attack mixups. KS weakness becomes apparent when he himself becomes rushed down. His all or nothing approach tends to leave his defense a little bit lacking, and when KS gets put on the defensive, he struggles to get his offensive momentum back. Lucky for him, this tends to be rare.
LE's style has probably changed from the last time we played. What I can say though is that LE plays a very safe and defensive style. While somewhat of a turtle, LE does tend to attack out of the blue at times in order to confuse the opponent and capitalize on surprise damage.
This matchup is extremely favorable for KS. His aggressive Cammy plays right into the hands of a defensive Chun-Li. With Spiral Arrow being a bane for Chun Li fireballs, and a Focus Attack that's can land a safe distance away from most of Chun's pokes gives KS a huge advantage in the ground department. Unfortunately for Chun, she also lacks a strong answer against air spikes, while Cammy's ground spike is one of the best AA's in the game. In order for LE to win this match, he'd have to take advantage of Chun-Li's liberal crossup options in order to force a mistake out of KS. Unfortunately, KS almost always presses the issue before his opponent, and I just don't see LE being able to gain momentum
My Prediction
Match 1 : 3-2 KS
Match 3 : 3-1 KS
I believe KS might struggle a bit against LE's defensive game in the first match, though he'll close out the victory. After having figured out LE's defense, expect a full blown rush approach from KS in the 2nd match to overwhelm LE.
I'm a little tired right now, so I'll do the other 2 matches in a bit lol.
somebody should tape that match.
