The world's biggest streamers vs. Street Fighter 6

[@User-pu3lc]

Disguised toast winning on Modern Honda playing with 1 bar on a steam deck from his toilet is the tourney highlight.

[@zachataxxii7126]

DisguisedToast meticulously calculating the worst possible online experience with his 0-bar Wi-Fi Modern Honda should get him either barred from fighting games or a medal of honor

[@NaClSandwich]

Counter DI is literally the best feeling hit in any game I have ever played. The hit stop and the vibrating sound before you bop them. nothing else like it!

[@ashash8026]

The most impressive thing from this tournament was Lirik Perfect parrying for the 100th time.

[@ArchonKujo]

I love seeing big streamers play Street Fighter 6, man Capcom really out here did the right thing for the franchise.

[@Sgrix31]

bro istg i see u everywhere whether it be vids about gacha games, fighting games, or even barbie tycoon simulator at this point

[@testhekid]

game is beginner friendly in the best way possible

[@actuallynotsteve]

This game brought me back from the 2 era and it's so amazing, everything about it is 10/10 perfect to me.

[@T-Bone_SSteak]

The only thing I like more is when they lose to someone after their ego builds up

[@T-Bone_SSteak]

Not saying that I'm good at the game, but you can tell who's a Juri main

[@MindoftheNorthStar]

It's like watching toddlers in a boxing match and the toddlers are going as hard as they possibly can. It's somewhat adorable.

[@Ryan-uu4tw]

Lmao, it’s also hard to watch. Why would anyone stream this level of play.

[@alanrcastro8580]

@@Ryan-uu4tw hard? I find it pretty entertaining ngl

[@gabrieltremblay372]

You must be fun at parties jeez

[@SomniaCE]

​@Ryan-uu4tw Really wanna be mean to you but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Some people like to stream while they learn and some people like to hang out, learn alongside people who are lower level like them or hop into lower level streams to offer advice. It's a community, everyone just wants to chill and enjoy themselves. No matter what genre or what activity it is there should never be some arbitrary skill threshold to make content.

[@MindoftheNorthStar]

@@gabrieltremblay372 Usually. I sometimes have trouble at parties filled with people that can't identify flippant comments made in jest. ... and weird parties without beer. Other than that, you'd be correct!

[@jorge86rodriguez]

We need more of this. By the way with these tournaments we can see how the improvements to the game have improved the experience for the regular audience (modern controls and good netcode)

[@markmelancon2914]

"Flipping me on repeat" is way better than "Throw looped".

[@hteety]

I want to say that Modern controls made this possible, and big props to ATT for including a fighting game in the lineup of otherwise all shooters. Fighting games really need this kind of exposure, the one time "Exposure" isn't just a meme. I think this in part shows that modern controls did what they set out to do, which was make it easier for new players to be able to do something in this game. Even though most of these guys are just randomly throwing out specials, but just being able to do more specials feels really good when you're first getting into fighting games.

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

Absolutely, I can imagine some gatekeepers or whatever being like "they're using modern tho" but I think Modern definitely made a huge difference in these players enjoyment of the game. I dont know if they'll stick around long term but I can imagine they had a lot of fun either way!

[@albertko1]

OTK did pretty well... Emiru definitely took BrianF's advice and meanwhile Esfand actually tried playing SFVI

[@DayFul]

Not getting Tectone involved was a missed opportunity maybe next time. He needs to be saved from the gacha treadmill the SF6 bakery would have blown his mind too.

[@funnynamelol3156]

[@wiggy5261]

“You did so well” I would say “RUN THE SET!” That killed me 😂😂😂

[@dreadfulpopcorn]

Honestly this was super interesting to watch just because it's interesting to see how people adapt and also seeing Brian explain what could be happening. If any of these streamers want to stick with SF6 and end up watching this video I definitely think they'd learn so much

[@ensanesane]

You should check out korone playing JP. After the vtuber tournament she kept playing and the improvement is actually unreal

[@noah-ux2cz]

The proud dad energy here is so great

[@char-rez83]

I was laughing almost the entire video. The image of Brian_F as a soccer dad.

[@krasmazov009]

I am a big supporter of tournament for beginners. As a watcher is fun but I think it helps a lot with mentality in the long run .

[@realchezboi]

the difference between the sfv version of this tournamnt and this one is awesome, seeing people being able to implement their own unique playstyles without fighting the execution itself

[@Hawko1313]

yeah, the decision making took priority. Execution was there, jake and lirik were both rewarded for that execution with their combo and parry game respectively. But knowing which autocombo, and when to jump or DI was a big enough decision tree to make even the simplest games entertaining. And as they got later in the bracket you slowly see a more complete game.

[@SuperArmus]

This really shows how good MC is for non-sf players. This can totally help bring new people in.

[@brian_cream]

I like how the only times brian seems to have anything negative to say is when the players are actually really good. I love him.

[@char-rez83]

Watching Brian_F with the energy of a proud parent commentating is simply awesome.

[@g0ddish434]

JakeNBlake is so brave for trying to learn the game the traditional way knowing for damn well he won't touch it for another 3 years. Hats off to you man! 🐐

[@brandonsellers1076]

Brian needs to be a commentator for this event cause he had me so hyped with his reactions. 😂

[@TrueUnderDawgGaming]

“What is this skilled play? Freaking cringe” 💀💀

[@KleptoBismol45]

I will be completely honest when I say that I popped off for Lirik's Honda parries like I was watching something like EVO Moment 37 and Combofiend's Spencer comeback for the first time

[@Cogbyrn]

I've watched 3 perspectives on this tournament now and I hope they keep doing tournaments like this. Really good content.

[@Platanov]

I've never seen Brian so animated and excited, this was really fun to watch.

[@ungasmash1256]

Honestly surprised at how many people in this comment section don't understand why watching newer players level up is interesting. Sure a lot of them are button mashing but you can also see a lot of them making strategic decisions or watching how quickly they use things they learned. The first time my friend new the the fgc hit me with a counter DI I was so hype for him.

[@LorenzoEski]

2:37 awesome short here 😂😂

[@CharlotteMimic]

This was so fun. Brian's enthusiasm for low-level play is infectious

[@keylimecookies]

Nah that bronze Kimberly tech @ 13:00 is wild, like it combos after bro what, a 4 bar mixup god damn

[@psych0blzr694]

Lol! Brian hit the 50 Cent real quick "Fuck me? What did I do?" 😂

[@Maxler5795]

Remember last time when everyone went nuts and there was that one dude who just called all of us gods just because we know how to do a hadouken? That gave me validation for 6 months

[@HadesTimer]

I love seeing how much Brian doesn't know about Modern controls.

[@PSIclops_]

Im so glad we got another one of these. Seeing people from other genres try fighting games is consistently my favorite content.

[@captainjumptoast]

That was fun. I appreciated your commentary a lot because A you know the game so well and B you were excited and invested in the matches. Fun video!

[@quanta7167]

Ayy the volume is louder now I love it! Much appreciated!

[@RuTo94]

Chat gotta chill LOL "Toast learned Honda from the source" 4:50😂. As a Kimberly main I didn't even know you can cross up teleport Tatsu 13:08 I've never seen that mix up in my thousands of games and no pro players ever use or talk about it but till today ima try it out it looks siick.

[@Hawko1313]

there is a setup for cross up tatsu, and you can TK tatsu to cross up. But i didn't think you had time after the teleport... guess many others thought the same. that was sick

[@gaminglakitu]

Honestly I think that pros commentating on matches done by less experienced players are even better to watch them pros analyzing pros because I feel like there's so much volitility in a newcomer's matches and where most people who actually play these games are so pros commentating in an interesting way to gameplay around your skill level just feels so much more captivating

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

God this event was so fun, I think focusing on these big streamers for a big event like this was so smart

I can't believe how amazingly hype scrub high-level (?) Street Fighter 6. This game is everything, totally smitten with it. Watching noobs try to out cheese each other has no right to be this much fun to watch. It's agonizing seeing somebody lose a whole tournament because they're not just holding the autocombo button, it's wild.

[@The-Determined-Ninja]

I feel bad for the streamer that picked Juri because thats probably the worst characters to be throwing out random specials with lol

[@Hawko1313]

i was thinkking the same for geif, but then i saw how fast the armour comes out on bear grab and the 10 frame throw on too late will catch a lot of people. really liked watching Yassuo, even if he got tilted by the throw loops.

[@iamthetable5450]

@@Hawko1313 ye at least gief got bear grab and spd, all of Juris specials are basically useless if you don't know how they work

Thank you for playing USFIV - Theme of Zangief, i Listen to that song every now and then on spotify and immediately recognized it! such a banger, ty Brian. do you think Capcom will ever add usfiv songs to the game? like a custom soundtrack pack or something?

[@Hawko1313]

really exciting to watch, modern controls are really well suited to a tournament like this

[@Raxyz_0]

I hope fighting game devs are watching this because there's some lessons to me learned here. Matches with Modern were way more fun to watch and (probably) play even to those without any knowledge in the game, but in the end the winner was still the only Classic user. Doesn't matter how much friction you reduce, you _still_ need to know the rules of the game and understand what's happening to win. Reducing the execution requirement is A step, but it's not THE step to really bridge the gap between new players and the FGC. GBVS had the right idea by introducing the simplified specials the way it did, but Rising making it so that they have no difference might be a mistake. The gap between a new player and an experienced one now becomes even larger since you effectively made combos impossible to drop and anti-airs that much easier with no drawback. And once new players drop the game in frustration for not getting to play, the remaining playerbase might just get bored since they have nothing else to improve upon. I hope I'm wrong because I really like the original GBVS, but I'm not optimistic for the competitive aspect of the game.

[@DrynSarcastic360]

What? I'm a modern user and would destroy Jake and Bake.

[@Raxyz_0]

@@DrynSarcastic360 You missed the point entirely. It's not that Modern is inferior, it's that knowing the rules of the game is far more important than anything execution related. Jake plays classic because, like most of classic's users (myself included), he's familiar with it. He already knows the basic structure of a match and that's an edge that no autocombo or 1 button hadoukens can give you.

[@awxangel6781]

the grand final being Modern v Classic and down to the absolute wire is a great argument on the balance between the two modes - at least at the lower level

[@Raxyz_0]

@@awxangel6781 Yeah. I think both control types were balanced perfectly across the board to be honest. Modern isn't just a "training wheels" until you get to classic, but it's also not something that'll carry you throughout.

Toast realized the smartest play was abuse Modern Honda

[@masontheartist]

To be honest. The honda spam is super harmful for anyone getting into the game. Sydeon was loving EVERYTHING about SF. The funny intro screens, the arcade mode, the wacky characters... until her first match of getting butt slam spammed. I get that it's easy to deal with for experienced players, but there's nothing in game that teaches you how to deal with it, much less punish it. Syd basically said that turned her off the game for good.

[@1fareast14]

Understandable, but getting knowledge checked will happen in any fighting game

[@harrylane4]

Every game has something like that. A lot of these people play league, a game with bullshit just as egregious as honda slam. Not everyone has the patience to deal with degenerate stuff in the learning process, and that's okay, these people are perfectly successful streaming other games. What matters is that she gave it a shot.
