How do the "projected" results work om smash.gg?

And just how wrong will they be in the end?

 

[TheSpoiler]

To the upload or Laura? lol

To being Laura'd.

he put that boy on blast in the final match.

God damn

 

[MCD250]

Should be a Cammy mirror. Here's hoping Kbrad pulls it out.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Even this Cammy mirror is fun to watch.

 

[MCD250]

Sheezus, Kbrad's whiff punishes...

 

[Edzi]

This has to be one of the most enjoyable SFV tournaments yet.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Yes! One step closer to my dream Xian v KBrad grand final!

 

[MCD250]

HERE WE GO.


TOKIDO.


ITABASHI.


BOIIIIII

 

[Femto.]

K-brad with those max range whiff punishes.

 

[TheTylerRob]

I want Itabashi to show off Zangief so bad.

 

[Femto.]

I really dislike how we can't hear the crowd.

Can you stop doing this Capcom?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

tokigod still in there

 

[MCD250]

Man, sometimes it takes Kbrad a minute to wake up, but when he does...

 

[Edzi]

I really dislike how we can't hear the crowd.

Can you stop doing this Capcom?

Capcom: "No"

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Lol the notes

 

[ColonialHawk]

I really dislike how we can't hear the crowd.

Can you stop doing this Capcom?

The crowd can't hear the commentary from James and Yipes.

If it helps I can tell you it's pretty hype.

 

[sixteen-bit]

tokigod still in there

more like tofreedo in that du set

 

[MCD250]

Akuma about to get buffed.

 

[Edzi]

Akuma about to get buffed.

Tokido's plan all along, get to top 8 and then get blown up so everyone sees it and thinks Akuma is ass.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Akuma about to get buffed.

All what he needs is health buff to 950 and probably he will be a top tier.

 

[MCD250]

JESUS THAT XIAN COMEBACK

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Xian Comeback

 

[TheSpoiler]

Wild.

Fucking jungle wild.

Blanka wild.

Again, this game is looking so much better than last year.

 

[Edzi]

XIAN YES

 

[MCD250]

XIAN CLAWING IT BACK

 

[Femto.]

XIAN IS BEASTING

Capcom: "No"

The crowd can't hear the commentary from James and Yipes.

If it helps I can tell you it's pretty hype.

No wonder they have Li Joe on the mic.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

I thought Xian was done for sure. Great comeback!

 

[Bigg_Oggy]

Whew! What a set!

 

[Moaradin]

Wild.

Fucking jungle wild.

Blanka wild.

Again, this game is looking so much better than last year.

This tournament has made me believe that all the "S2 IS GARBAGE" shit was a bit premature lol. This has been pure hype. One of the best tournaments for SFV for sure.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Whew! What a set!

Close one!

 

[TheSpoiler]

This tournament has made me believe that all the "S2 IS GARBAGE" shit was a bit premature lol. This has been pure hype. One of the best tournaments for SFV for sure.

It takes a couple of tournaments to really suss out how a game is to be honest. It's always been that way. It's like a centralized source of the best players doing the best things and taking the game to its most optimal levels.

Additionally, I feel like the players have finally grasped how to go wild while having good defense in other ways.

This game still needs fixes, but far less than other SF games and editions between them.

 

[MCD250]

...how the fuck did Nuckledu do a sLK into Flash Kick combo?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Nuckle Du with the pause foul, lol

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

...how the fuck did Nuckledu do a sLK into Flash Kick combo?

Charge flashkick, press stLK while doing the upmotion, right when you go into standing.

 

[TheSpoiler]

YO THAT ASS WENT
RIGHT
OVER
THAT
BOOM

 

[Xeteh]

Man, Xian is making Ibuki look so awesome... I'm so happy he swapped off of FANG.

Hope Fuudo bodies Du, I want that Mika x Ibuki rematch.

 

[MCD250]

Charge flashkick, press stLK while doing the upmotion, right when you go into standing.

Man, I didn't realize that was possible.


Sad about Kbrad, looks like the nerves got to him given all the execution drops. He still had a great tournament showing overall though.


This Du/Fuudo match is straight nutty.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Usually Mika VS Mika has me like

But that was such a good match. That armor. Wew lad.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Wow, using EX peach was brilliant. A regular jump would have whiffed and it beats the body splash.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

What on earth was Du doing in the last round, mirroring Fuudo?

 

[MCD250]

Soon as Du went Mika I figured he was gonna get bodied. It went much the same way when he and Fuudo had that mirror match a few weeks back.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Booo. Fuudo is obviously good as hell and deserved his win, but I've had my fill of Mika and Du vs. Xian rematch would have been so much better.

 

[Edzi]

What on earth was Du doing in the last round, mirroring Fuudo?

It was a staredown, he wanted him to make the first move. It almost worked too, he got some momentum after that.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Booo. Fuudo is obviously good as hell and deserved his win, but I've had my fill of Mika and Du vs. Xian rematch would have been so much better.

Probably, but at least it's not CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP all damn day.

 

[MCD250]

Yeah, I'll say, I find Mika like 18 times more watchable this season.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

XIAN! YES!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Alright. Let's prepare for Ibuki nerfs.

 

[SixMachine]

I'm happy Xian won, his Ibuki is so sick! Most entertaining player of this tournament.

 

[Moaradin]

Well, nobody is sleeping on Ibuki now.

 

[Femto.]
