EVO2024 Community Showcase - Super Street Fighter II Turbo Top 6

[@HiResDez]

The mirror match was absolutely insane, highlight of the tournament

[@Thatitchyguy]

seeing a Vega player shake out their hand after a round after all that INTENSE play is always fucking hilarious

[@The_Sunset_King]

Oh man, I used to watch John play at Keystone in the 90's! So good to see him playing!

[@HarisProductionsSWAG]

They gotta ban claw, man. Ik he's not as bad as akuma, but you can't watch the way claw shits all over these ST top 8s every the year and tell me there's nothing wrong with it. It would be so much healthier and funner for the ST scene.

[@googleisass2065]

what a pussy answer. he's not that bad. the players don't think so. stay a viewer

[@aiw437591]

Wow, that reaction of Enforcer to do the mario punches with the juggle super at 4:02 so nice.

[@mrdrofficer]

I was getting worried there wasn't a side tournament. Whew! It's not EVO without John Choi playing SFII.

[@eddym54]

Seeing Choi play with the MAS stick is one of the sickest things in the fgc.

[@jacobr4558]

Why is there never any hyper fighting?

[@truffled_one]

Wow big surprise a Claw player won 🙄

[@michaelsong5555]

Of course Vega wins. The only S tier.

[@googleisass2065]

no he isn't. Sim and Rob

[@Mad_Martigen]

@@googleisass2065 no. Claw is. Claw is the only character in the game with absolutely NO disadvantage matchups. That plus the wall dive vortex makes Claw S tier.

[@OnTheChainwax]

@@Mad_Martigen Boxer has throw loops, Ken knee bash loop, Dictator can own claw too if he doesn't get caught in the loop.

[@Mad_Martigen]

@@OnTheChainwax yes but at least boxer and Ken's throw loops can be reversed, depending on the character. Claw's wall dives are more difficult to get out of. And as said before, Claw is the only character in the game that has absolutely NO disadvantage match-ups. At all. That alone ends the argument.

[@OnTheChainwax]

@@Mad_Martigen How is claw gonna reversal if they walk to the other side after claw mashes out?

[@EduardoRamirez-jb1zl]

Fucking cheap assssss ballsrog/vega..... fucking snooze fest grand final booooooooo that man.... that last mirror match was amazing

[@ricardofac47]

Vega ruins any tournament, so overpower.

[@googleisass2065]

no he isn't

​@googleisass2065 you are dead ahs wrong

[@mcdonaldshashbrown9326]

Yes he’s really good but he still has his weaknesses

[@ps123fan]

wall dive OP lol

[@kaospider5]

Great play all around. The final match was a bit of a letdown. Claw has such an overwhelming advantage there.

[@respectfulremastersbymetal8336]

Yay, another Claw. Woohoo, so exciting..... ugh.

[@YouTubeCrisisIntervention]

youre not a real sf fan you must be a striver

[@morelhunter3966]

Finally a Vega player wins a tournament.

[@lexxluey]

Vega should be banned. He is clearly broken. He may not be a secret character but he is broken beyond repair. Or allow Akuma counter picks for Claw. Old Sagat is strong but far from broken.

Shoutout to John Choi. Hokuto is a great player but man is Vega cheap.

Claw too strong

listen to the commentary at 27 min. thanks for the expert analysis.. one adjustment im seeing from silent scope is, he's jumping over fireballs

[@MiloDC]

LOL 😂

[@RafaelOliviera952]

on turbo u can chose old caracter like hyper version ?

[@MrBendixxx]

Claw has to be banned at these tourneys. Everyone benefits from it. We get to see closer games, players who don’t main him actually stand a chance.

[@haggarsmith-t1u]

[@kether82]

Is there anything you can do to stop the flying Barcelona loop?

[@mr_rgp]

Hope you beat it out

[@kether82]

@@mr_rgpIs It possibile dir example reversing on a certain frame or is it unbeatable?

[@mr_rgp]

@@kether82 very few characters can actually beat it clean if at all. Not even being funny but Claw has been terrible for 30 years because of Super Turbo. The cheapness of the game really takes away from how fun it can be at a moderate to high level.

[@ps123fan]

jump back roundhouse or shoryuken, spinning lariat?

[@Komatik_]

Yeah, it's possible. How, depends on the situation. In neutral, Claw can essentially play a full-fledged neutral game with walldive alone, so you want to think about what Claw wants to do and counter that. If he's looking to air to air, he'll be pressing buttons early. If he's looking for an honest attack, he's looking to press late, so you can try eg. backjump air to air or to catch him early in the walldive trajectory (Cammy and Ken are good at that, for example). If he's doing it as an oki option, you'll likely have throw invul (ST has a random amount of throw invul on wakeup, a bit under 7% chance of 1 frame, all the other options are over 10 frames, up to nearly 30) so it's a simple left-right mixup that's complicated by Claw being able to cross you up and back again sometimes, which can screw with your inputs. But you can reversal it or block the left-right. The guessing game is basically never in the defender's advantage, of course, but it's a human-controlled mixup so you can try to read what the Claw player wants to do. O. Ryu also has an OS with dp and tatsu so he'll get more strike invul frames on waking up regardless of which side Claw lands on, but it's hard to do.

[@JDMAtHeart4Ever]

Where was O. Sagat? Was he banned? If he was here I didn’t know I skipped through this video.

[@designbookInc]

Will Capcom have the courage to make a competitive Vega like this in SF6? Of course not! Only Ken and Cammy my boys!

[@jasonblueboostwerdrick8889]

I’m an old Hyper Fighting player with Zangief. Played someone at Logan Arcade that did that Vega cheap on me we just saw. Seems like it’s unblockable most of the time. If it’s a glitch in the game, ban the character.

[@haggarsmith-t1u]

scrub. always have been apparently. calling it a glitch does worse for your point

[@pangranggaclamp]

It's legal for the past 30 years and will always be

[@morelhunter3966]

​@@haggarsmith-t1u scrub

[@Komatik_]

The claw strikes are never unblockable, it's just a hard to see left-right mixup and Claw can use his air control to mess up your inputs which makes non-block defenses hard to do. When you're waking up, you're almost always throw invulnerable so the throw isn't a concern. The game has actual unblockable attacks, but Claw doesn't have them.

[@jasonblueboostwerdrick8889]

It's FGC commentary. Noone really goes out of their way to actually know what it is they are talking about and the ones who do get shunned for people who scream memes into the microphone like Yipes and Koustics.

[@GhastlyGrewsum]

This first match the black dude sucks. Hadoken non stop cheese. Reminds me of playing MK and your little sibling just spams punch

[@josephshin9297]

Ryu guy played the matchup well. Spaced fireballs so he could sweep butt splash. Good awareness on jump back strong to combo super afterwards. Good fireball traps and pokes to keep Honda out (that standing forward was sick). Yes, it's a good MU for Ryu but it's not like Ryu can just mash and get a free win. By the end, the Honda was stuck blocking in the corner. Mark of a good player is convincing your opponent they can't do anything

[@duxnihilo]

I don't understand why Old characters are allowed. They're secret characters, FFS.

[@haggarsmith-t1u]

more chars = more variety of play. why is that bad? its literally 1 of them in top 4
