Evo 2023: Street Fighter 6 Top 6

[@YunisRajab]

I've never seen anyone as happy to lose like mena at the end. Dude was genuinely happy for angrybird

[@leinnedkramsinnifled6952]

If I were him I would be happy too because I find a worthy opponent and gave a hell of a good match. It's like from exchanging blows and round win. Really worth the hell of it. ✊️

Why did you f#cking spoil the ending ?! and why was this comment voted so many times ?!

[@noBody-ue6cs]

I didn’t open the comment section till after I finished watching. You can’t be reading comments on match footage, it’s always gonna get spoiled, lol.

EVO killed it this year, what a great year for Fighting Games. SF6 is a blessing

[@mappybc6097]

Production wise definitely. The top 6 were a little underwhelming tbh. Mirror match city and one sided beatings. SF6 really carried EVO this year.

[@Alejandro-dk2gk]

@@mappybc6097 ohhh yeah, you can tell a lot of effort was put into the SF production, game is hype af

[@SShaBazzz]

​@Alejandro-dk2gk just wait till next year. Tekken8 and MK1 will be released as well. I can't wait. SF6 os already a masterpiece. Tekken8 was absolutely loved on the beta. I think MK1 will be great, it didn't have the acclaim the others got but I'm sure it's going to be good.

[@Lepogans]

IDK man, while obviously the grand finals was a mirror for DBFZ, the rest of the top 48 and top 6 was crazy. The most character diversity we've seen in a long time if not ever, on top of there being hella talent playing this year@@mappybc6097

Never played street fighter before only played smash brothers and dbfz but this tournament actually moved me so emotionally I actually want to get to know this game and it’s community much respect to the street fighter scene y’all put on a hell of a show 💯

[@robsonclark9678]

Fellow only smash player for many years, give it a try! Its so cool, and the movies in the basic form arnt too hard to process. Normally fighting games intimidate me, but this game just feels like a constant game of rock paper scissors, with gratifying results when you win the guessing game. :)

[@BlueRupees]

I’m a big Smash player but I got this game around launch thinking I’d give a 2D fighter a shot finally, as well as using a stick too, and I’ll say, I’m LOVING it. It’s a fantastic game and so fun to watch too.

[@mappybc6097]

​@SShaBazzz Sony was ok with having a Killer Instinct tournament. Pretty dure Smash not being at EVO is on Nintendo.

[@AliRao707]

nope it was 2:59:26 for me.

[@Seen-qo5ev]

@@mappybc6097 i completely agree..with Sony being cool with the Killer Instinct Tourney tht literally proves tht Smash Ultimate not being at EVO is SOLELY ON NINTENDO..Nintendo gotta get their heads outta their asses fr..with this ENTIRE EVO has proven and with the MASSIVE RESURGENCE of the fighting game genre (the massive releases of MK1, Tekken 8,the BIG BALANCE PATCH UPDATE of KI, the release of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, the overall implementation of rollback netcode and crossplay across the entire genre and the impending anticipation of Project L) it is being stamped the NIntendo needs to stop fuckin with its fans and give Smash back to its fans with the Smash World Tour, Smash Summit and the inclusion of havin Smash back on the big stage of EVO...2024 EVO is goin to be WORLD BREAKING AGAIN..

[@JustinRuta]

2:59:40 true sportsmanship. Both came here for a challenge, not a free win.

[@nofx7058]

isnt the best way is just continue, what they should do? restart?

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

@@nofx7058 I believe if the controller is disconnected then the opponent can get a free point. The fact that AngryBird is like "Nah man, its cool" is great sportsmanship on his part.

[@nofx7058]

​@@WantSomeWhiskey818 is that evo rules? when menards controller disconnected round score was 1 0, so angrybird could make this 2 0? this is weird, it's like because it's the fault of the one who has a non-working controller, like he should choose better devices? i thought rules was that they should restart, angrybird take 1 round(mena cant hit back) and they will continue, but since controller died on start of the round the most obvious is just continue

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

@@nofx7058 It may have changed since last I checked but a similar thing happened in Evo 2015 and it caused Momochi to lose a match. It may have changed since then but its generally up to the opponents discretion.

[@fgcFooblez]

I swear that intro set the tone for the whole top 6.

[@Soplox]

INCREDIBLE TOP 6!!! Although I was rooting for Mena or Punk, AngryBird deserves it! Also Tokido was on fire bro!! Definitely Everybody here deserves the rank of Top SF Player

This was one of the closest top 6. Could have gone every other way. Props to all players.

[@peterchang2310]

The match between Tokido and Menard is insane.

[@Temorkhan]

Did not expect SF6 top6 to be this hype and for the matches to be this close. Can't wait to see what SF6 is like next year at evo. Also, that intro was top tier.

[@LegenHarryThing4076]

1:06:59 Tokido's clutch moment here really is incredible, I'm not professional yet and I'm a rookie on fighting games but that miss is one in a million... That setup by kakeru was a sure win but I'm surprised that it missed...maybe he blocked high but it registered as a low something like that... I tried it in training mode but that missing is impossible really, nice comeback for tokido... I can't wait to fight this guys I'll be going pro on street fighter scene after I entered my first Evo for FighterZ 👍

[@zanpakutoman4225]

I'd say Street Fighter 5 last year was even better than this, even for people who hate SFV. But considering this is SF6's first EVO after only being out for 2 months the competition is definitely killing it. Best Top 8-I mean-Top 6 of the event.

Kakeru vs Tokido was so hype for me because i use Ken and JP.

It’s good to see Modern in top 6. I bet some people lost the mental matchup against modern in pools. If LTG was allowed at EVO, he would have drowned in pools faster than normal.

I missed the intro of the players and just now see Mena rolling in with the Whitebeard captains coat. Godlike entrance.

[@acerodriguez6884]

It's it just me or do the stages need to be wider, it's way to easy to get cornered, way to easy. Also I think having about 15-20% more health for everyone across the board will make this game way more fun and will allow for more comebacks and for people to not die with a few touches, nobody wants super fast ending rounds. We want a little back and forth na little more health will allow for that

[@heroicsquirrel3195]

Yeah Ken instantly puts you in the corner on one touch and you can die in two combos sometimes, it’s ridiculous

[@anthonyharding4380]

Top 3 was what I predicted before watching, though I really hoped Punk was gonna make it to #1. Next year 😅

[@Adagio930]

3 throw loops is just baby moment. 6 throw loops in SFV was considered the norm
