[@70smebbin]

Lol

[@DexterChacko]

Always love to see BigBadWolf show up with that dominant Hugo! Huge ups from the PNW!

[@RenPenov]

Great stuff! Thanks for uploading these for those of us who couldn't catch the tournament live

[@ForMyGrievousFault]

1st time seeing a 3rd strike tourney, surprised I was able to sit through the whole thing! Thank you for the upload 🙏

[@FranciscoGarcia-jp1hp]

What a great match by Kyosuke vs Bigred, lots of clutch, lots of guts

[@0N3DR3AD]

🐘💨Nice to see a mix of characters utilized, instead of ChunLi sweeping through. Lol. 😅 Hugo/Wolf was nice to see come back. 🔥💯👌💌

[@0N3DR3AD]

Yuki issa YunMasher. Lol. 😂

[@melleen629]

Yuuki plays such an incredible rushdown with Yun

[@landonduncan7128]

METH ROSENSTOCK IS A FANTASTIC NAME

[@Callibretto]

awesome top 8

[@combo_banana3534]

Nice upload!

[@zeromythosver.]

9:09 holy Arlieth is crazy, Ryan is no slouch so all the more impressive

[@Mario_bland]

16:00 how/why do they button check on an arcade machine?

[@VampireArcadia]

The cab used for our stream was provided by Psychic Drive. (www.psychicdrive.com/welcome) The owner has a JAMMA passthrough device that allows players to use their own arcade sticks. P2 in the match you timestamped was using their own stick.

[@Acunamatataist]

how are they hooking up their own controller on arcade cabs?

[@Joey71420]

Yeeeeeah

[@user-tn4pr4gu3t]

Where was this taking place at??

[@70smebbin]

Makoto is scary

[@jenisia3600]

Love 3rd strike, love watching Yun getting destroyed

[@max-zo5ew]

gg

[@CinderFelleth]

47:15 gets five 1 frame rinks!

[@IB_E_Y_O_N_DI]

😂 didn’t notice that

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

big jin

[@oscarvini]

20:45

[@Asian_Kid]

I like how this game isn't like Clash Royale where it's pay to win. When you pick Ken, you play exactly the same as the other opponent.

[@crustykeycap5670]

They are a lot of games like that.

[@jamesg1827]

Yes most games that aren’t gacha apps are like that haha

[@fascinatingvids420]

Bro what is this comparison 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@chrishansen2517]

Can't stop hearing Joe Rogan commentate this. Dunno what it is about homies voice but I'm loving the idea of Joe getting in to fgc commentary

[@VampireArcadia]

Joe Rogan sucks dude.

[@chrishansen2517]

Im just liking his commentary style, I'm not any sort of rogan stan@@VampireArcadia

[@myboy_]

Don't play on player 2 side next to Big Red or you might get smacked in the face 😂

[@albertsmith9878]

That’s gotta be the absolute worse Ken player I’ve ever seen!!!!

[@combodrop2058]

How so

[@gh0rochi363]

He probably doesn't look good at that level of competition but Im sure he's digging dudes in fightcade

[@SFJake250]

Being used to watch Japanese players, the level of play here in comparison is so low its kinda sad.

[@IB_E_Y_O_N_DI]

Explain

[@combodrop2058]

Oh my god shut up

[@CameronI-mc6ye]

Bro don't know the 3s scene. Most of the people here aren't top us players even besides yuuki, and I bet you would lose to everyone in this top 8 even if jt wasnt an absolutely nuts player like yuuki

[@Osmar_Alves]

I think it's cool to watch, but I never enjoyed playing it so much. It's an extremely slow game, the strike animations are purely dragged, the strikes are sung. The rule is clear: if there is a parry, it is because the game is slow.

[@jail4BillandHilaryClinton]

I love to see Makoto lose to Hugo!
