If I tag socials, then this should be done for ALL players (without a single exception), and not just for one person. Socials of some players can not be found (players with default nicknames, some Asian players, etc). I am convinced that it's extremely dishonest to tag contacts of few people and not to tag all the rest, so there will be no social links in description.
But I respect the players whose matches I post. Therefore, if you are sure that videos presented "as is" are not acceptable, I will stop posting content with your participation and remove the ones posted earlier.

At 10:53, goodness. That aerial combo was ridiculous. And then into bonding and dissolving. Wow.

[@AriesZero]

That was actually insane when I first saw it. Like damn.

[@zephyridk]

i had a stroke looking at it

[@christianvazquez1835]

That shit looked and felt taken out of GGXX lol.

[@thuroria7631]

cool, although it's nowhere near optimal in the corner in that situation, it's much better to just do one round and finish the combo on the ground

[@kiwiboyyt5297]

combo is 2k 2d 236k rrc jc js jh jd jc js jh jd 214h (sorry if notation is bad) i think

[@ripswf]

7:06 noone gonna mention how this dude threw four hammers in a row?

[@emergence109]

1:39 that would have been a sick as hell item combo tbh

[@pepus777]

they always burst the crazy combos man... I just wanted to see if he really had those

[@thecosmicjester4024]

They always burst when I'm cooking up some wicked item combo

[@sharkspeedo]

0:13 Goubou's mastery is impressive

[@AziDoesQuestionableThings]

random but y'all remember the tekken 5 intro, that shit was so good

[@manuelsputnik]

Tekken has banger music.

[@avapup]

it was goated

[@CafeLobo]

Sparkling!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@jurjani_vii]

Kazuya and Jin as guest characters plz 🙏🏼 on the same slot

[@lemonade2706]

Random but y'all remember the hell in a cell, undertaker & stone cold vs Kane & mankind that thing was kinda cool

[@achro2491]

Aba is such a badass character I barely even played strive maybe once but she makes me want to pick it up again

[@LtSprinkulz]

The type types of "nah, imma do my own thing" character.

[@krazymistere2219]

Faust casually fighting one of his past patients while Birthday Train plays in the background

[@zauztheblacksmith]

I've noticed that every one of these tournaments seems to have the second game set to Birthday Train. Do you know if that's a meme/inside joke within the community or something?

[@GottWaffe]

Gobou is playing a sickass A.B.A, I wonder if he will change mains again

[@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil302]

He'll probably use A.B.A for certain match-ups, if she's not a co-main. For example, everyone in Gobou's stream agreed that Axl vs. A.B.A. (normal mode) is not as difficult as Asuka vs. Axl, so perhaps they'll start there. From what I've seen in Gobou's chat, they primarily like characters that are fun, strong, and have depth/character expression. When they first tried out Asuka, they said he was "an extremely fun character" - and promised to continue playing him no matter how he turned out. I guess we'll just have to see how much Gobou still enjoys her after he figures her out more.

[@GottWaffe]

@@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil302 that's just fair I guess, Asuka R Kreutz is indeed a fun character, although pretty hard to play, at least to me lol. So far A.B.A has been doing rather great against most matchups, I haven't seen A.B.A vs. Axl yet but even vs. HC I saw someone do quite good

[@pablosway]

Zato is his main😂

[@TheNowhereKing.]

An insane lovesick woman fighting an insane being that suffered trauma. The perfect fight!

[@drbread542]

This is phenomenal! Please nerf millia rage to the ground

[@14megasxlr]

What? Why is Millia catching stray shots here?

[@AziDoesQuestionableThings]

@@14megasxlr there's a guy by the username of konakon that really really likes millia and is also mad constantly complaining about how weak she is in strive, we all collectively know him as "the millia guy" and some people comment this just to wind him up

[@LunaMinuna]

@@AziDoesQuestionableThingsreal lmao

[@unnamedminus]

As a millia main, we kinda deserve it...

[@Sir_Bucket]

10:40 That Faust practiced standing Dust into a hammer enough to pull it out in a match like that. Least demented Faust player.

[@blockd1162]

Did you timestamp the wrong thing

[@ckorp666]

every good faust ive played against does that one, i assume its one of the first things they steal from apologyman on day 1 at sweaty faust academy

[@EdgePitSwing]

That instant overhead juggle combo is so sick. Probably only works on a fraction of the cast though.

[@ryujinnchair]

10:53 MONKEY BUSINESS 😭😭😭

[@LunaMinuna]

Aba cooking is so much fun to watch man

[@nickjarred5537]

Im sorry but at 12:16 did he just cancel 236S into 632146HS?

[@egman-kat]

Kara cancel

[@plyme5297]

Kara canceling the followup, you input 236s>632146 H+S for key is king, 632146 K+S for gate super

[@nickjarred5537]

@@plyme5297 thx I didn't realize you could kara cancel outside of cs or 5k

[@XenoTheTurtle]

​@@nickjarred5537almost any special can (technically) be kara canceled into a super. It usually doesn't do anything, but it usually works. You can also kara cancel into specials with dash cancel (do dash after c.S or 5K), certain moves (pot 6K, sol 6S, etc) and FD from some normals' startups on super flash. Lastly, you can kara into wild assault from some normal follow-ups (i can only think about faust 5HH, but there must surely be other ones)

[@heavensgate7337]

Damn she's a powerhouse.

[@Aaq_ggst]

4:00

[@atomicwheeze8756]

Faust might've just played this matchup poorly but if not then this video is definite proof that either ABA has good matchups and isn't nearly as bad as pros are claiming or Gobou is just cracked (true in either instance)

[@notmyfullname598]

A single set isn't enough to be proof of character strength in isolation, especially this one so early in when people don't have match ups completely figured out

[@carlscabage]

definite proof 5 days in lol

[@michaeljj5321]

Yeah Faust did play poorly, he block low on EVERY overhead from aba

[@edhenshuusha4666]

Faust played poorly. Just look at the last round lol. He can just step back and throw items at her. No need to get close and risk allowing her to build gauge. He did that a lot and got punished for it.

[@snowsoldier413]

Honestly if you really want to see check out gobous channel directly. It's very clear that gobou has a strong gameplan with her now.

[@rikuriku1645]

ごぼう本格的にABあ使うんか？ くっそ楽しみなんだが！

[@Shurmash]

Her air dash is so important in base form. Intertwine and tilt combined with haul and heed are also great movement options in base form. Her H.s has stupid reach and 2.k is a great low poke combo starter or leading into bonding and dissolving. Astonishment allows her to gain meter from projectiles which is amazing for dealing with zoners. Once she transforms you can go completely ham. Don't let the meter get below that thin line because she won't be able to manually enter jealous rage. She's an amazing addition to the game honestly.

[@sibitt1673]

My favorite Aba

[@cafequente8252]

11:30 A.B.A. so good she gets to break the rules 😅 It shouldn't be possible to blue burst there

[@14megasxlr]

Jesus, is this sped up? I swear this shit looks sped up

[@keybum9672]

I wish this Faust did Afro pressure correctly, if he actually did the mixup he probably wouldn’t won the matches when he had her in the corner. His fast prc staggers into command grab were tight though

[@TOMxLEON]

I was the Faust player in the video. If the "correct afro pressure" you mean is the JSJH pressure reset and the likes that work against 99% of the players, I'm sorry to tell you that it doesn't work against Gobou. He air grabbed almost every single pressure reset. The set was actually much longer than the ones shown in the video, and I have already tried all those. If you have other afro pressure to share, please tell me. I have also done the WA cross-up in other games and it did work.

[@balther10]

I love it when the actual player shows up and explains his decision making

[@dylansalus9159]

@@TOMxLEON Unfathomably based response

[@ryomathekillers7421]

there's so many internet warriors who criticize high level players without actually understanding properly. Boiling things down to " this faust player very good but afro no good vs gobou if afro better he would win" is so shortsighted. vs players like Gobou there is no such thing as "correct" pressure

[@keybum9672]

@@ryomathekillers7421 in the corner there is a good pressure route, all I’m saying i *couldve* not definitely had won. Saying that the play was perfect and warrants no speculation/ criticism is delusional, as you’re holding these players to a godlike status who make no mistakes

[@CJ-vn3xl]

R***d in the corner - no honor, no skill, no tactic - these characters have so many moves which no one will ever see executed.

[@chiko5602]

aba def one of those characters that i will forever be rooting for but will never touch cuz me too unga kashual gamer

[@JoJoFan87]

How do you cancel out of red rc into a dash? That doesn't seem possible...

[@pablosway]

U don't know nothing 😂

[@Azkr-]

what an absolute p2w alt skin from a.b.a Pick 2 Win you cannot easily tell if it's Moroha mode or not

[@gruggedup9083]

This is a new one, one of the easiest ways to tell if she's in jealous rage or not is if she activates it manually(the animation) or bonding and dissolving(the command grab). And let's not talk about how she's as fast as chipp with rage and as slow as potemkin with normal.

[@notlunaticdancer4393]

Nerf Zato

[@diogostosa]

I'm sorry but the f he did not use the other special here? 3:10 Am I that dumb? I Don't see a point in spending that tentacle if I could just get some of my jealousy meter back.

[@alix6270]

no meter, had burst but key is king would've given him not enough to utilize against faust. yes, he *might* have killed in time, but if he didnt he'd be in the same position. That, or sometimes they just miss input, they're also human lmfao

[@Ginsufe]

New character woes. there's a bunch of ABA mistakes in here that seem obvious but in the moment your hands just don't do the right thing. He probably hit the super and immediately thought "damn i'm in the wrong stance for this"

[@diogostosa]

@@Ginsufe I get it, It's not like that I could do better then those ppl, but I was watching a lot of Aba games and every game there was a mistake that annoyed me because the character is already that hard and those mistakes make the character even harder..
