[@GreenBro11]

I think Ken will always be relevant because he’s arguably the most stable top tier. The other top tiers have higher peaks, but weaknesses of some kind. Ken maybe doesn’t reach the insane potency of a Bison or Rashid, but he will always be good in this meta.

[@80me16]

I really think he’s the perfect tournament character, maybe he’s not winning every event but there’s guaranteed to be one in top 8

[@JusRed48]

Yeah, he's the most consistent other than maybe Cammy.

[@sant6182]

Guys you need a way to set up the microphone so it picks up your voice over the button presses, it's hard to understand you sometimes like this Love the vids!

Dang, I can’t help but notice Angrybird’s account is no longer Rookie. I kind of liked seeing that, it felt like a deliberate statement about Ranked. Gonna miss it.

[@briangreengrass2244]

"i take that back rashid is top 1"

[@EAprima]

Completely agree with Angry Bird's accessment the crouching medium kick. This is actually something that Ryu really suffers in. As Ryu sweep is 8 frames and, sadly, is slightly shorter than Ken, he often get trumps in close up scramble situations when he is up against the likes of Cammy, Ken, Rashi, Chun Li, Akuma, insert-the-top-tier-character-you-want-here. What they need to do is what Angry Bird suggested which is either reduce the fames to 7 frames to make it match Ken so he can compete in a scamble sitation, or extend the range of the attack. That's perfectly fair even though he deserves more in consideration of what all those top tier characters can do. I really want Capcom to turn Ryu around. In fact, turn all the lower tier around so they can scramble and truly compete against the top tier characters. Only then the game will become near balanced.

[@thebeluvdtrex]

Dude Ryu is not weak...

Sometimes it's hard to hear you guys over the button presses so I tend to stop paying attention. You should get lavalier microphones. You voices will come through loud and clear.

[@Doople]

Its fun seeing the explanations but i think the relative powerlevel of most tournament viable characters is close enough that it doesn't matter. Obviously there are advantages to certain characters but not to the point where i am surprised by Cammy winning vs Ed or whoever is top 5 or 10 even. As a casual though i need Bison shot dead, tired of his ease of use vs his effectiveness. Really boring to see him do tons of dmg off easy stuff with lame combos and he's just everywhere.

[@nonono9681]

Nah man, bison has some sauce... the thing is that the sauce from meterless but only from bomb. Ideally they should keep the interesting combos as good damage and reduce the dumb ones... But they wont do that because its too complex.

[@Un1234l]

​@@nonono9681 That's not the problem with Bison. His problem is braindead frame data. Unreactable long reaching unpunishable moves.

[@CCCompiler]

Bison is our leader and general and FGC king and got the drip so your opinion and time shall end here

[@Raxyz_0]

I can't see what would make Ed the best character in the game. No overheads, sub-standard fireball since it needs two stages to fire, bad anti-airs, no command throws to reliably threaten tap parry attempts and every invincible reversal can be safely OS'd. Of course, he does have some great advantages like possibly the best 5 frame in the game, a "shoto fierce", the dream combo for corner carry and meter efficiency, safe pressure and tons of safe jump setups. But there's so much to exploit in his gameplan that I don't see him being better than Akuma, Rashid, Bison, Ken or Cammy.

[@EclairTw]

Love the Yap sesh content

[@YunisRajab]

Honestly FT2 is a joke in this game. It should always be FT3 and for top 8 FT5

[@Indiana-r9b]

Yes daigo also said that when this game released, this game is fast pace and lots of fifty fifty guessing, it needs at least FT3 to be fair for the better player.

[@beam5655]

Agreed. It's wild how TNS is all ft3, yet Capcom can't be assed to make premiers ft3 before top 8.

[@Indiana-r9b]

@@beam5655 that’s why EWC 2024 was the best tournament to date.

How do you tell when Angrybird is trolling or not ? 😂

[@eltniumgg974]

Love when so many people have something to say or argue the birds when they literally just sit online and play and don’t compete or even play high level to understand why they are saying that. Gotta fight the best to understand why they say things about certain characters

[@universalman5861]

Angrybird was wrong about Akuma. Now he has joined the Akuma bandwagon. AB's opinion is just based on who is doing well at present. Leshar is doing well with Ed, so suddenly Ed is number 1. Top players are just as biased an unscientific as we are.

[@disonalvan]

everyone who plays the game is entitled to their own opinions about it, the game doesn't revolve only around the top 0.1% players lol that being said, people should for sure be open to the opinion of top players instead of arguing/hating for no reason

[@sheikhu1039]

​​​@@universalman5861 Hello, you're making the mistake of assuming that a Pro can't make a mistake(which btw he clearly stated in the same breath that he might just be approaching Akuma wrong and the character is not the best for his playstyle) and that they're opinions are to be viewed at the same level as any casual player, that is just incorrect. he's still a Ken main btw, he just wants to give Akuma another chance and find the character fun. I could be wrong but it seems you're projecting at the end there

[@GreenBro11]

We’re all playing the game. The meta may differ at the highest level but that doesn’t mean their opinions are absolute and infallible. It’s all about discussion at any rank or skill level. That’s how the meta develops.

[@Doople]

You can definitely have a good understanding of the game and argue meta without being a top player. That said most people do not know the game better than pros like the birds

When AB said Akuma had stubby normals when he released I didn't feel it as much because at a lower level I was just wiff punishing with his heavies all day, but Ken and Ryu's st.HP and cr.MK are just way better. Ken's in particular.

[@ashfordgraham-francis3069]

I think Terry beats The shoto’s especially Ken… what do you guys think?

[@studentoflife8532]

Ken jumps over his fireballs with jinrai and punishes him so the fireball game is in his advantage. Footsies is even, and ken has a better offense and defense.

[@ashfordgraham-francis3069]

Your forgetting about burn knuckle and Round wave. I saw phenom vs Hurricane and it was far from straight forward for Ken.

[@studentoflife8532]

[@qoharjamalhaqy526]

I also like Bigbird's argument against two of the best UK players in EWalker and Problem-X in that Bison is one of if not the most broken with no damage scaling on top of he has scrubby mechanic and people abuse it. Bigbird seems genuine and those two just seem downplaying, nothing against those two just saying. And many people including EWalker himself mistake Bigbird for being condescending because of how Bigbird worded it about EWalker's time on the SF competitive scene and people took it as Bigbird undermining and bashing EWalker's experience cause hes so young that he has no right to have an opinion. Smh. Even though, Bigbird meant it as to remind people about the past from all the way back to USF4's Elena and how she was picked by pros as a pocket main and how she shaped USF4' meta. It's about perspective on long term game growth. SMH

[@Fgc_birds]

@@qoharjamalhaqy526 thank you for understanding! I apologized and tried to explain again but was still called condescending But it was also my mistake, I should’ve referenced Elena in SF4!

what characters have a 7f cmk?

[@Lepogans]

Chun, Ken, Jamie, Rashid and Aki.

[@5milemacc737]

Chun has a longer 7 frame CrMk then even Ken

[@datboi951]

[@McMeatBag]

AB always has reasonable power level taked. Hard to disagree with anything he says

[@h3artcxxk]

Why is Jinrai not good against Guile?

[@duxnihilo]

I'm guessing because of EX Flash Kick. Edit: I watched the section he talked about this. Guile's EX (OD) FK will reset him back to the position he wants to be in. As AB said "you already have to work so hard to get in on Guile", so giving him he opportunity to regain distance is a bad move.

[@eltniumgg974]

@@duxnihilothen do the heavy one. EX flash doesn’t punish it. Unless there’s other reasons

[@cheebagreene5723]

@@eltniumgg974yes there’s other reasons. It’s way slower and doesn’t combo with anywhere near as many buttons.

How can ed be top tier without an over head mix up. Weakest jab. Cr. MP into drive rush range is not as good. Reversal DP is slow as hell. The only plus normal he has can be ducked

[@GreenBro11]

@@carlos25301Did you not watch the vid. They talk about it. Ed played properly doesn’t have to go in. He plays at range and waits for the opponent to make a mistake. Ed’s range means he doesn’t need an overhead and he technically does have a crouch medium. Arguably two. Cr. mp and his st.mk also functionally operates like that too.

the Ken downplay is unreal xD

[@YunisRajab]

It's okay you can have a different opinion

[@kiwi2257]

It's facts. The reason so many people hate Ken is because they are hardstuck ranked scrubs and Ken is really popular so they play against him all the time and can't beat him. Most people don't even bother labbing jinrai and yet still complain about it. He's pretty annoying but he's nothing special compared to utter nonsense like Akuma, Bison and Rashid.

[@riotv6]

Ed being the best isn’t a far stretch but I would say akuma

[@jont1226]

cant hear shit over the stick

[@__Phederal__]

Another one

[@Madolcheplayer]

Everybody always lists Cammy in top tier but I never get why; she has low damage, rather stubby normals, no fireball drive-rush (and unlike season 1 can't punish fireballs on reaction unless she has level 3), her buttons don't seem privileged in any way to me (as an example her low mk is 8 frame, while her low mp is 7 frame), she has no overhead or command grab (not that current command grab characters are good), she can't use EX moves in combos very well (one of the reasons why she has low damage), they just removed her sideswitch combo. Is it just the fact that her dp can switch sides and that she can punish throws with instant dive kick?

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

God like forward throw / walk speed, multiple side swaps, excellent corner carry, best level 3 in the game, great buttons and divekick, and yeah very scary to throw loop her if she has any drive gauge. After switching to Aki I really do not agree that Cammy's normals are stubby at all.

[@j_king_santana7493]

What low damage ? Are you serius, anti-fireball, throw loops, auto-shimmy, the Best lvl 3 in the Game,easy anti air,corner carry always and plus frame omg...

[@adriandenton6637]

Haha...Just push buttons faster..you'll be ok.

[@Lepogans]

Man I am sick of seeing cammy players crying about "not being able to punish fireballs on reaction". Brother as long as you are not literally right in front of someone it's still insanely easy to do with spinning knuckle... Even if you don't want to do that, just short hop dive kick... She does NOT have stubby normals, go compare her hitboxes/hurtboxes to just about any other rushdown. Her 2HP is actually a godlike button, especially for meaty situations. She literally does have both an overhead and a command grab built into the same option in hooligan. She still has a sideswitch combo, she just lost some damage on it. Side switching EXDP. Insanely good walkspeed and shimmy threat. Cammy downplay has actually become more insane than the Ken downplay...

[@MrEssedis]

Punish throws? That's the least worrisome thing about it. All the grappler's in the game can punish wakeup throws with command grabs. You can literally use Cammy's dive kick to punish any normal over 5 frames. And if she guesses wrong but spaces properly she's plus 3 on block. For randomly throwing out the quickest air to ground move in the game. Add that with an ungodly walk speed, good normals and a better strike\throw game than grapplers. Nothing worse than having Cammy in yuh hole.

[@qoharjamalhaqy526]

I'm finally accepting that cammy replaces ken for 5th spot, her corner pressure/carry and wake up EX dive kick are better than every Ken's tool.

[@qoharjamalhaqy526]

Cammy still takes more effort to play in order to excel at the highest level like Manon than Ken. Not as braindead as most of the cast.

[@alfredososa3059]

Ed top 1? Only thing Ken has is his crouching medium kick? 😂

[@Eggroll3s]

His jab is the best jab in the game pressure wise what

[@EAprima]

His Jabs keep you at bay and use as a constant check for every counter you unleash while protecting himself. Combine that with his insanely unfair psycho vine and his tiny punish windows and cover parries, it easily puts him in the top 4 category. Before I thought he was at least Top 7, but thinking deeper further he is Top 5 if not Top 4.

[@alfredososa3059]

​@@EAprimahis jabs have no range, stop the cap 😂

[@Doople]

Keep in mind Ed is doing extremely well in Japan where they typically play slower. Also keep in mind its about stability in tournaments and Ed is often very safe when playing mid range and often his flicker pressure can't be punished easily. I can see the argument even if I dont think he is the best in terms of power level and/or ease of use

[@ayovenom9906]

His snatcher is definitely the best projectile in the game because it beats wake up super and is plus on block which gives him a strike throw mix. His range is also one of the best in the game along with his multiple combo routes. His lvl 2 is one of the best of not the best (it beats rashids lvl2 if they clash) and he builds meter with a lvl2 combo. And his jab is actually pretty good for pressure. His cr lk is also the best in the game because of its range and being 4f. Plus he has a low forward, multiple cancelable normals and a wake up dp like all top tiers do
