Spoiler free means a lot, can't remember last fg video i watched where the timestamp guy didn't give you all the results. Thank you.

Kakeru thought Mena was going for a hug or something when he wanted to do the stare down xD

Rub the belly... So awkward

[@comradetyrone2298]

He just wanted to rub his belly. It's considered good luck in Asia to rub a buddha's stomach

[@hugohernandez610]

He rubbed the belly !! 😅y’all are funny

[@thisisgod2639]

@@comradetyrone2298 I'm dying on your comment 😂

[@Nobody-su9km]

Everyone talking about Blanka this and that, but not a single person is commenting on the fact Mena abused the shit out of Kakeru's constant trigger happy on the parry button, he does that every time he plays, he loves that parry button and Mena ripped him apart with throw loops.

[@VampiricNoir]

It’s the age old questions of Is blanka actually really good, or is mena just a god-tier player

[@komujimaru]

@@VampiricNoir blanka is a gg strive char

[@coreapostrophe]

@@VampiricNoir Both. Both is true. 😂

[@fritzboungo1949]

I'm a Frenchie who learnt to speak English, more than the quality of the fights, the comments are the reason why I enjoy watching tournaments like this. You guys are amazing 🙏🏿

[@samuelh.8896]

Anytime man

[@DonnieYei]

“That barber cut is clean” “impeccable!”😂

[@Vavecheese]

ANY commentary that contains Yipes in it is bound to be GODLIKE! I'm loving this!

[@davose8756]

Makin my boy Blanka look immortal

[@Forever_Scrub]

Kakeru trained himself so hard to avoid the shimmy that he forgot how to tech.

[@Nobody-su9km]

No, he was always a parry happy player, Mena simply abused Kakeru's constante abuse of parry mechanics, that's how Kakeru won his tournament, by perfect parrying, what counters parry? Throws.

[@Forever_Scrub]

@@Nobody-su9km Bruh, I know that, but he isn't getting punished countered on all those throws. kakeru either blocks or parries. He could have thrown a delay-tech or two in there after getting throw-looped for 4 rounds straight and not shimmied once. Reminds of Punk's LCQ match against Daigo where he says he had noticed that Daigo loves to establish throws loops with Ken and so he bet on throw for the first 3 rounds. Daigo didn't update for aaaages.

[@Nobody-su9km]

@@Forever_Scrub yes he is lmao. He is literally either getting hard knocked down or countered on 90% of The throws and you can see his character getting blue on more than half of them.

[@JustiasFitzgerald]

MenaRD might be the most dominant player in any era of street fighter ever given the level of competition and natural evolution the FGC has gone through. He is so clearly a level or two above every other player, despite the FGC being more loaded with top tier talent than ever before. This is impressive and MenaRD and the Dominican Republic have an all-time great player and ambassador on their hands. What a guy. Congrats MenaRD! Keep that same energy throughout all your life. Sharing passion and love and your talent with the world.

[@luizfelipebocolibuenodasil2859]

I would love to see a fight between Mena and Infiltration. In my opinion, Infiltration is a different kind of player from everybody else, but we will never know the result...

[@jacquesbundang633]

Yup ever since they dumbed down fighting games as a whole 10 years ago

[@shmixedNshmooved]

​@@jacquesbundang633 yet we never see people like you place let alone get outta pools lol

[@ChimbzZ]

Beautifully said

[@aetherdryth1]

I'm waiting to see how he does after they nerf the shit out of blanka XD Not saying he's not a great player, but when a commentator says 'Nobody has the answer to Mena', what they actually mean is nobody has the answer to Mena's Blanka.

[@dannbyu]

The fights start at around 8:15

[@LucDaMan4]

17:42 might be the biggest choke I've ever seen

[@ThirdGuard]

pro players like mena and punk that randomly do unoptimal drive rush combos that end in DP for fun deserve this more often

[@AnalogLanguage]

he was playing with his food and found out the hard way. I feel like if he didn't choke that he could've lost the set lol

[@IXxKINGxXI]

Nah Takito vs Smug CEO Another one lives and dies by the shoruken

[@WorkingAsIntended]

I love Yipes' commentary. "What are they sayin'? They're like yup, there goes MenaRD kickin' our ass once again. We really gotta take it back to the lab and really figure this man out because Jesus Christ."

[@Jknight416]

You don’t get to figure out Mena, Mena figures out you and then has you downloaded!

[@melbo6735]

At once the silliest and the best commentary I've ever heard in top 6. Cracked me up constantly!

Wish they hadn't muted EVO's audio at the end just to listen to themselves talk.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

2 times Capcom Cup champ....Red Kumite 2024 Champ....SFL US champ.....SFL World Champ.....and now EVO CHAMP...............ARE WE STILL question who is the modern GOAT of Street Fighter? NAHH MENARD is that DUDE.

[@aaa-bm1fv]

CEO champ as well. Top 2 at evo USA last year

[@Nawstyyy]

Mena is the GOAT for sure.

[@Prodigal_Knight]

Not until he wins an actual evo.

[@aaa-bm1fv]

@@Prodigal_Knight Evo Japan is an Official evo. He is an evo champ according to the records LOL Until Daigo or Tokido win a capcom cup, they can not be considered Goats

[@kSwissh007]

Blanka in grand finals at evo japan is just BADASS!!!! that character soooOO HYPE

[@GPowtlaw2]

Some incredible reads and play on display!!! That ryuichi ken was a monster!! Amd shoutouts to mena playing so consistent when it matters

[@hugohernandez610]

Bro Menards shows his experience man, guessing different moves and combos

what pad does mena use?

[@Gilga202]

Bro! Riukichi and Moke was an absolute spectacle

[@mystraker3400]

Loved that Ryukichi vs Mena set. I play Ken and Luke is normally so boring to watch for me, so I admit I’m biased on which character I preferred but watching Mena play Luke is a joy to watch

Mena is by far the sexiest in the fgc

[@rafaelmartinez1917]

he really washed out kakeru cleanly, that's impressive

[@Corazon17x]

He messed up with the belly rub 😅

[@Dracoblues]

YEAH MenaRD!!!! You are The Beast!

Even though the comments spoiled the ending, I couldn't have guessed that it would emd like THAT

[@johangp1990]

Mena just in another whole level man, dang!. What they gonna say now....

[@KayaMazule]

The last two Evos have been so confusing schedule and stream wise, missed so many matches.

Kakeru deer in headlights

[@kulexgen538]

where is the premiation of the champion? incomplete video

[@intelpocket]

It feels like if it was just a training for Mena. Kakeru smashed Nuckledujo, but he couldn't move a fingers against Mena.

[@blackmanta2527]

Lexx needs more recognition

[@MiraiGen]

"the lighting is coming out of Mena's eyes. He's Aomine Daiki." comparing Aomine to Mena is so insanely apt

[@LanceAxel]

I legit think Blanka is top 3

[@joshuamuniz1823]

Who would’ve thought that Blanka would win an Evo trophy

[@marcusa2252]

I like how Yipes wasn't having Joe's comparison to Justin's dominance in MVC2 lol

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Mena made Japan looks so free. But i wonder if Akuma and season 2 balance will affect his Luke/Blanka performance. I got the feeling Capcom gonna nerfed Luke and Blanka.
