If he gets hit and take 30-50% damage you'd be saying he should have taken the throw. The problem is not about the reads, its about the damn throw loop that keeps you locked into the guessing game if you guess wrong.

@@skychaos87 What does it matter if the meaty doesn't come? You like everyone else make the same mistake of thinking that taking less damage means you're safer, when we just watched a whole demonstration on how untrue that is. "Taking the throw" is a meme that came from SFV, where defensive options were scarce. You have an abundance of drive gauge in this game, and JP in particular has a counter that activates on throws, and he only used it twice the whole set. People are so terrified of taking damage that they'd rather stay in the worst position possible in the game than attempt to get out it. Makes no sense.

GG. I wish Kakeru could have made more of match out of this but but MenaRD just gives his opponents so much to think about during those rounds. Congrats again Mena. Is Blanka S-tier?

But for the $400K tournament at 2023 Gamers8, Kakeru won. We’ll see what happens at eSports World Cup this year.

They forgot about it. It's just a match, Mena here changed the strategy after lost against Kakeru at game 8 cause parries, he knew it and just throwing loop. But let's see EVO USA

People are just being idiots and like dickriding MenaRD or AngryBird for no reason. Kakeru destroyed MenaRD's blanka a lot of times in the ranked matches. it is just a game set so there are times when Kakeru can't do his best too since he is a human. The strongest SF6 player is the one currently ranked 1 in the SF6. and it has always been Kakeru.the top 10 players in the rankings are mostly Japanese I get it why american idiots hate Japanese players so much.

Just because Li Joe got in top 8 in SFV once doesn't mean we want him commentating top 8. Let him commentate pools but there's much better options for top 8.

“Throws are too strong!! They need to be nerfed” “Parry is too strong!! It needs to be nerfed!!” wtf is going on with the fgc rn. MenaRD correctly read that Kakeru was going to try the parry option and went for throw to counter it. It’s almost like fighting games are about reading your opponent and countering their moves accordingly. The reason why Kakeru got thrown a lot is because he kept going for his signature parry tactics (you can see how he kept getting punish counter thrown). This isn’t even to mention that JP is a ZONER and should be WEAKER at close range. Ofc JP is going to be eating mixups at close range- that’s part of what balances him out. It wouldn’t be fair for him to have great close range and zoning game at the same time, yet the way people talk about Mena’s offense you’d think they would want JP to have amazing close-range options as well…

I find it kind of funny that all Day 3 Grand Finals ended up being clean 3-0 sweeps from whoever was in winners side: In Strive, TempestNYC 3-0'd Sanakan; in Tekken 8, Chikurin 3-0'd Lowhigh; and in these Grands, Mena 3-0s Kakeru like it was nothing.
