Love the variety of characters in this tourney. And wow that boxer v boxer machup was so fun to watch.

[@TheHeartlessAlchemist]

Cammy? Winning a tournament in ST? I can hardly bwlieve it.

[@HumbleHurricane]

Imagine being a first time sf player and hearing this statement in commentary 😅😅😅 1:18:56 🐔 like MF Nani?! 😂 $hit had me rollin haha

[@Pan_Z]

38:08 ButterTooaast's reaction to getting crossed up 4-times.

[@minechaftgamer288]

Can't play these games for toffee but clicked hoping J Chen would be on the mike

[@MrMirage091]

Yeah, James is cool, my top FGC commentators are (in no particular order) James Chen UltraDavid Yipes Chris Hu And probably TastySteve or KethSillian

[@CrimsonBees]

@@MrMirage091I agree with the list 😁 As well as Skisonic…He’s pretty good!

[@ps123fan]

always hype with ST

[@naejimba]

Hell yeah

[@naejimba]

Crazy seeing a Cammy player win a tournament, and to be against Fei in a final? This was enjoyable to watch.

[@lelxrv]

I don't remember seeing anything good from Cammy on ssf2t tourneys. Awesome.

[@aserodriguez1425]

Makes perfect sense that Balrogs REAL and ORIGINAL NAME is "M. Bison" cuz he's basically an M.Tyson doppelganger 😂 for you who don't know it's Mike Tyson

[@sigurdtheblue]

Cammy looks like some jester character in the thumbnail.

[@takeshikitano3176]

why does rui break through the enemy's defense when doing a combo, even though he is holding the block?

[@Zarfybear]

Klimax looks like he needs a hug poor guy.

[@USHIDAHL-san]

👍👍

[@respectfulremastersbymetal8336]

Ugh, the screen is super tiny the entire time. For real?

[@RTU130]

True

[@dingo535]

Damn was pulling for Psycho. Good matches nonetheless

[@Spamcloud]

Honda needs to train his delts.

[@eliascommentonly4652]

🇬🇷🇪🇺🕹👍 My favourite character is BLANKA ........and DHALSIM

[@Longlostpuss]

Frosty Faustings has to be the THE best name they could have come up with for a fighting game tournament.

[@opassatravels]

Hi. Noob question because it's been years since I've played SF, why is it showing one character's name, but playing a different character entirely? Like when It said M. Bison, but it was actually Balrog playing? I've seen it happening in quite a few tournament vids on SF.

[@silverwah]

Because they are playing on the Japanese version of ST where the names are the original ones. Other versions switched up the names for legal reasons and the competitive community sticks with names like Claw, Dictator, and Boxer.

[@daxramdac7194]

Yeah, M.Bison is Mike Bison, a nod to Mike Tyson, names get switched up in the states for legal reasons as comment above me says.

[@HappyMealBieber]

Chun Li's throw is Cheap

[@liloulachaudasse7295]

ft3 on ST tournament sucks.

[@thrillh0us3]

It’s been pretty standard for years lol

[@liloulachaudasse7295]

@@thrillh0us3 Standard for US. There is no ft3 in ST tournaments inside Japan and european major tournaments.

[@impulse_xs]

Saw James Chen and UltraDavid and immediately stopped watching lol.

[@K6GSXRider]

Why are people still being forced to wear masks in 2023?😂

[@Longlostpuss]

Don't think there is any debate about who's the higher tier character out of Chun Li and Balrog. Chun can literally have her Super buffed for the entire round and then release it in a split second giving her opponent no time to react to it. Balrog's one has more start up and is more predictable and avoidable for the fact his pressure game and mix up to set it up isn't as strong as Chun's. Vega Honda Sagat Chun Fei Long Zangief Balrog It that order probably if you were to say who the strongest characters in the game are.
