$1,000,000 CHECKMATE

[@Kalulosu]

I gotta give props to UMA for going the extra extra mile when he gets that stun, sees Chris Wong already low, but actually backs off, stores and does a full combo just to be extra sure that he can maximize the shit out of this and kill 100%. My man played out of his mind all tournament long, what a legend.

[@Vadered99]

He also does that because Feng Shui is about to run out and you don't want it to run out mid combo or your links won't work anymore (you use different routes while it's active).

[@burkshomemadememes]

I swear Uma plays as crazy as juri is as a person lol. For the man who won the tournament, there's times that look like he is freestyling (or doing what he wants), and it's a sight to be seen.

[@neobahumut707]

You can still put in 7-8hrs a day of gaming even with a 9-5. Most gamers have FTJs so it’s not impressive.

[@callumanderson6373]

​@@ShinjiTimCwhen is homie gonna sleep? Or do anything else in his life?

[@SomeRandomDude821]

A 9-5 and 8hr of gaming is a total of 16hr, meaning that if you want to get 8hr of sleep, you'd be going to bed (and actually falling asleep) immediately after. If you want to, you know, eat food and have a social life, then 7-8hr isn't feasible. Even going down to 6hr sleep, which I believe is the recommended minimum, you'd only have 2hr (3 if he "only" did 7hr gaming). He's probably doing 3-5hr, probably skipping a day here and there too. It's absolutely impressive.

[@ShinjiTimC]

@@callumanderson6373 What do you mean? 9 to 5 = 8hrs Gaming for 8hrs totals 16hrs You’re left with 8hrs to do whatever you want. Then if the job has off days (most ppl get off 2 days a week) then it’s 16hrs you have left on those 2 days if you decide to game for 8hrs on your off days. When MenaRD won Cup the first time, he did an interview where he stated that he practiced for 7-8hrs every day. These guys game for a living, it’s like a second job to them. They are so good because they put in those hours consistently. That’s what separates them from the rest.

[@ShinjiTimC]

@@SomeRandomDude821 I don’t find it impressive because most pro players do this and has been a thing for YEARS across the FTG community in general. It’s nothing new at all. N you guys are thinking about it in a DRASTIC sense that they stick to this schedule for 365 days a year…… n that’s probably not the case, of course people take time off for vacation and social life 🤦🏾‍♂️

Jammerz is probably the most knowledgeable commentator (out of the bunch). His sf5 results were pretty good. I think if zhi came back, zhi would be more knowledgeable, but zhi sometimes say things that feels weird. (Yes it's his style, but I think the sht he want to say on the mic wouldn't fly nowadays) I hope jammerz is kept around more. He's very knowledgeable, (I find him) entertaining and also pretty funny.

it's a great game by both, the first set was won dominantly by Chris Wong and reset the bracket. The Uma make a nice comeback with the 3-0 victory as well. Congratulation to UMA he is now a millionaire.

[@Alex_Logan22]

They were going back and forth too much in the Winners final, Uma knew after the second loss to not go for a reverse 3-0, so he just played the match for extra data pretty much and used it against him in the next set.

[@billsmith30]

Me personally, the only place Luke really went wrong was the blind jump out of corner into a blatantly spaced anti air. Juri was literally anticipating that and he fell right into it. As for the perfect parry wake up nothing to do but predict it and try to bait. Otherwise the Juri was just flat out being a better player as evidenced by 3-0 grand finals. Thats a hard clean up

[@feri7mble]

I mean, its easier to slow things down in a rewind and pick out what was the best option, then actually performing the best option in the middke of a match with high stakes.

SF6 might be one of those games like VF where sometimes it's better to just let your opponent get up without you being totally on top of them. Perfect Parry can really fuck your shit up if they hit it at the right moment. Or at the very least delay meaty timings to throw your opponent off.

[@rafaellechugo]

that transition into training mode was definitely worth the sub 😉

Props to UMA but i loved how SF 6 meta matured since the game released 8 months ago. I remembered a lot of people said Drive Impact will be "broken" but then turns out Drive Rush is more important than DI in high level play. But the meta changed again with Perfect Parry have more and more important roles in high level play. I hope Capcom didn't changed much of the universal mechanics.

CW wants to win this round quickly so he lets UMA gets to level three. If he plays more cautious he would get it. Just like last time, grand final, he throws the fire balls but juri’s fire ball reach first. Sometime u need to watch out for the threats during the attack.

[@no_nameyouknow]

It was a tough decision. Jump and risk the meaty, block or wakeup parry and risk the throw. He could have tried a delayed throw tech but that would risk getting shimmied. There was no perfect answer, it was a tough RPS that led him to that checkmate and his scissors were beaten by a rock in the form of a meaty low.

Big lesson here that Sajam has talked about before is not going for stun early. Burnout is a huge advantage, and as soon as you stun you lose it. Use burnout to get in free pressure, meter, and damage. Then stun at the last fee seconds of burnout.
