Watching a Lily main take a major is exactly the breath of fresh air this game needed for me. Well done, Chakotay!!!

[@neohayabusa13]

Finally ! the winner worked his butt off using that character.

Luke? Yes he did! But he lost to a great opponent!

Blows my mind why people do this ish. Go to the comments before they finish watching the video and cry because they get spoiled. The comments are here so you can talk about what happened in the video. Literally 🤦‍♂️​@@makotosa2

Damn, imagine if Yipes decided to commentate sports games. He’d take everyone’s job in like 3 months

[@ThePlasticBowl]

He was talking about the Knicks playoff series a few weeks ago on a Can Opener stream it was hilarious. He’s definitely get got a personality that fits so well with commentary

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

I loved how befuddled Yipes was by the very concept of Satsui no Lily.

[@ihpron]

Let’s go chokotay! Team lily!

[@emanuel81111]

lily with the invicible wakeup is the thing low character needed, now lily hits hard with lvl1 combos, has wakeup, has command grabs,she is mid tier now

Score one for the character loyalists! El Chakotay ftw!!!

[@imaika281]

Been a fighting game fan my whole life and I just wanted to say thank u for everything you do Spooky. Crazy to think I was a highschooler watching NLBC and I'm still catching your vod uploads 13 years later. You're a king

Fuck what you heard, this is the hypest commentary duo EVER!!!! I LOVE THESE TWO!!!!

[@FromJetSetCrazyo]

You better believe that i find this hella hype cause the dude Yipes makes it BETTER!!!!!

[@Kasaaz]

Watching Winner's Finals: Noah's style of burning himself out so quickly makes him weak to Lily. Once your opponent is burned out, stocking wind is so much easier. That Noah still came so close says a lot about how good he is with that style.

[@fozymilograno]

Lilly Champion? Over a Luke? OMG!

[@ultimateman55]

So happy this man finally broke through and won a major tournament. Good for him. His hard work paid off.

[@ironknit]

The growth of chakotay the past couple months has been insane to watch. Went from a less than ideal cpt season to winning one of the biggest street fighter tournaments!

[@jetsettech8804]

I hate to break it to you, but this was not a cpt event. There were no notable names there. Honestly i was a tad shocked when i saw the bracket, i thought it was some kind of mistake.

[@SylverMixta]

@@jetsettech8804twas no mistake, all the big names are coming to Dallas, TX this weekend for Dreamhack cause of the EWC Qualifier. Combo Breaker being the weekend before DH ended up making it hard to justify going back 2 back weekends for the players who’d be traveling from furthest away. Imagine the price, like flying from JP, to Chicago, to Dallas and then back to Japan, all in the time span of around 2 weeks

[@TheVirginMeri]

​@@jetsettech8804ye he didnt get any super notable wins lol

[@ironknit]

@jetsettech8804 in terms of entrants it's one of the biggest sf tournaments of all time. Also, he beat one of the best players rn twice with a not good character, so it's still an accomplishment.

[@TheVirginMeri]

@@ironknit Personally think player quality >>>>> quanitity. Considering anything "really big" without the top NA reps and little to no top international reps is not it.

[@Nadie1789]

[@user-jp4ll6zb3e]

Overrated

[@Djphantom315]

@@user-jp4ll6zb3e spotted the hater

[@aldenhayes914]

What lily really did was keep them honest. He handled the sand blasts like a pro and Luke's nooch got nerfed. You can see how Lily walked him down, and you can see the panic in Noah. The instant he got near the corner it was over. Raw jumps to try to avoid the wall led to free damage and he still got put in the corner. Pure Lily mastery Tay! He ran through like it was a breezy afternoon.

[@akilcharles3473]

I wouldn't say it was that breezy, Noah is all but getting in with Luke's pressure when he has Drive meter or not. The first set in winners final was close being 2-2 until Noah slip up and give Chakotay's Lily an opportunity and then followed up in the grand finals is where he really went "Satsui no Lily" on Luke.

[@MuchoBurritoHD]

Character loyalists winning is so hype. A lot of respect for these players compared to others just picking top tier broken characters

[@DPL58]

It's not the character it's the player. Labbing, testing and playing always gives fruit but it's better if you put the effort on a character yoi love to play, not the broken ass un nerfed characters coughblankacough.

[@sergio.ballesteros]

@@DPL58nobody has won any tournament with Blanka, except MenaRD, so don’t know what you’re talking about. Blanka is not actually commonly picked in tournaments either. It’s not Blanka who’s broken, but Mena 😂 Having said that, I also hate Blanka with passion, but because I hate his stupid dances when he wins. Specially in SFV and SF6.

[@blackmanta2527]

Due to light attack nerfs Noah's strategy to burn him self out occasionally doesn't look optimal now.

[@clementnunes5070]

So if you play a top tier, you can’t be a character specialist ?

[@SuperJJParker]

​@@sergio.ballesterosYou are right, but problem x has also won with blanka.

[@akilcharles3473]

That was an amazing hype tournament set between El Chakotay & Noah, woulda been happy for either of them to win honestly. But when it comes down to it and with all the hard work, Chakotay's Lily has won her first major tournament. Congratulations to El Chakotay 🦅🌪💙

[@Kjamiee]

I'm happy that he won ,it's a inspiration for low tier characters. The man been grinding hard at it with such an underrated character and took the whole damn thing,sheeesh

[@Brubrukk]

Thank you Chakotay for not making sf6 top 8 a boring slog

[@silverancient7840]

Finally us Lily players being represented!

[@nowheretoknow]

So Lilys are low tiers in every game 😢

[@thejtrax]

I love this. It's inspiring to see things like this in the fgc. The low tier high tier argument is just that, an argument. When you put the work in anything is possible. Go lily!

[@junkhead1109]

Very happy for ElChakotay. 👏

[@908NoirDDT]

Street fighter is so hype

@@DayFul I agree. Lily is so in your shit it's crazy.

[@onylra6265]

Some unga bunga shit in that GF. You'd expect a top player to respect a button that'd fucked him up twenty times in a row, but nah. Taking the best character into GF and getting totally washed by the worst isn't something to write home about.

Why is Luke grabbing more than Lily? At one point, I started guessing when Noah was going for a grab, and guessed correctly 8 times in a row. Huh?

[@stepe416]

Lily Lily Lily can't you see sometimes your style just hypnotise me 🎉Congratulations ChakoTay👊

[@grimedoctor]

Lily one of the biggest winners from the wake up Drive Reversal buff, she was always good enough to win but just needed a little extra defence to cope in the SF6 meta

[@durrelllee8608]

Finally some diversity of characters in finals

[@hailrugal2695]

Bro every Capcom cup & major tourney has had diversity you bozo, we've literally had a Rashid, Zangief, Blanka, Juri, Ken, Guile Cammy & now lily win them, actually watch the game instead of making up your own head canon.

[@AllFlashNoDash]

Careful, some people hate diversity. 😆

As a Lily main from season 1 day 1... Elchakotay made me proud.

[@markusbrendon]

Saw chakotay some time ago in a tourney in sf5, he played super well in loser finals, but he completely fell in pressure against punk on grand finals, i saw that and i thought to myself " he is good but doesent have the nerve to become a pro" and here we are, with his nerves on full potential able to stay still, i hope he becomes a big pro because what he showed here was amazing

[@ShinehexX]

Great Tournament! Loved the variety of characters in tops. Congratulations El Chakotay very solid performance, Lily Nation rise up!

Spooky godlike stream as always brother. Yipes and Vicious on the mic i know had you rollin. This seasons has a lot of promise right now. I'm with it it.
