How an unlikely hero got his revenge at the biggest tournament of the year

[@ChrisCCH]

Nothing but respect for you Brian, I wouldn't have made you my target if I didn't think of you as a phenomenal player. And your sportsmanship after the match reaffirmed the respect I have for you as a competitor. That being said, I did what I had to do, and hopefully I put some respect on West Coast's name 👍

You know for sure this is gonna end up in some top 10 fighting game pop offs Goated

ChrisCCH is crazy man. He was hitting me with Seth VT2 mixups I ain't ever seen before, mafia combos. I'll beat him next time FREE

He's a true west coast player

@@Brian_F Haha i see what you did there XD

He needs to practice his paper tearing

I was SO MAD when he made that 3 win comeback...but I had to respect him

"I never thought he'd rip MY face in half!" says man who cheered for guy ripping people's faces in half.

[@hanklestank]

Hahaha this is a *chefs kiss* great comment

[@erickrodrigues3434]

He didn't really rip *any* face in half, it was all around the edges

Yo Brian, just wanted to say that your content is on point, very much a worthwhile contribution to this fgc of ours. Your positivity and humility is appreciated, very refreshing to see. Especially in this community, where egos are oversized. Lets be real, you have the skills to justify a huge ego, so your attitude is even more impressive. Just wanted to give props where they are due!

[@penguindude24]

Brian secretly put Chris up to it for the content. Good run Brian.

[@bogartskim]

Brian upload?? Pog

[@masontem7526]

[@Sailing_seel]

honestly the best moment of the tournament. sorry you were on the receiving end. you crushed it though good run!!

[@Kenzamaka]

This. This right here. This kind of thing is why I joined the FGC in the first place. I'm not much for actual spite and conflict. But in small doses like this, some drama can go a long way into making things fun and interesting as a viewer and even as a player. Thanks for all you do, Brian. And to the rest of you madlads.

[@AkersJohn]

Back in my day... In the SF4 era, I'd say, WNF was more popular. It was IRL, but they'd have 50 to 60 entrants every week. The few weeks before Evo, you'd get up to 100. And guys who were consistently top 32 in majors. Was always a fun time watching. I hope both NLBC/WNF get back to that eventually. Stay safe out there everyone.

[@JustPokey]

Holy shit that intro. Brian you've outdone yourself. Err I mean.. Tell Brain Genius Academy I said: "YOU ARE A BAD MAN"

[@BrainGeniusAcademy]

Appreciate it but credit goes to Brian here!! He made the intro w/ record scratch and rewind all himself. I've only added music for the KZbin version.

[@JustPokey]

@@BrainGeniusAcademy Well, props to Brian! You're still a bad man though 👍

[@jonnyr6092]

Chris' entire Kumite run can be summed up with "my work here is done, peace out!"

[@dj2fresh07]

How is Brian so good at building up the suspense and anticipation throughout his content the placement of commentary and comedic relief is pretty good

[@phrygianchaos3359]

You took your loss with such grace and sportsmanship Brian, mad respect to you man.

[@darksiders2002]

Brian is slowly becoming an anime hero, going through various stages of growth until he finally achieves Ultra Instinct.

[@CSmith-hx2pm]

Longtime viewer here- your content has just kept getting better and better. I love how you manage to make organized and structured videos while still on stream. It’s very impressive and I wish you more and more success. Even if you’re slain you’re still doing great haha

[@Gibbidens]

ChrisCCH managed to come up with one of the best entrances ever concieved in human history, and ALMOST screw it up by struggling to break paper sheets in a half with those spaghetti limbs. Still pulled it off tho, that was a real saga!

[@jpVari]

I really like your version of being the bad guy. Doesn't involve anything demeaning or insulting the game

[@troglodjeeta]

I really appreciate your sportsmanship, Brian. Keep it up, you did great! And you are still the winner in my heart.

[@KAMAKAZE_ZC]

Damn I had no idea that he also had all the quotes on pictures. Hats off to ChrisCCH. That was some grade A storytelling though. I very much enjoyed it.

[@cainancapko4149]

Chris was a local of mine up here in Seattle, so I’m glad to see him succeeding so much. Even though I can somewhat hold my own against him, I know how strong he is and hope he only gets better.

[@chibipine]

Shows why I love Brian's content, super good story telling with a nice touch from his editor. I didn't even know this story of ChrisCCH till now. Pretty cool how Brian tells his story of hardship and finally receiving recognition. This sum score esports documentary fr

[@kangstakangsta]

What an incredible video. This probably took so much effort to put together such a fun and engaging story, and i really appreciate what you do for the scene. Keep it up Brian!

[@incoggnito1667]

Masterclass in good sportsmanship here. Hats off to you Brian!

This video is literally "That moment when you're the final boss and you didn't even realize it"

[@TheObidane]

Youre awesome Brian. No other way to put it. Thank you for contributing in such a spectacular fashion to the fgc. Youre a legend!

[@Raxyz_0]

I think Redbull was pleasantly surprised with you invitation after all. Like they said in the prep, RBK is about the storylines and not just the results and you took part in two of them. Even if one on the receiving end, but still, you could say it all goes according to plan to bring more attention to the west coast. lol

[@kinginthenorth1437]

I love the Days of Future Past look to the posters. Props to Chris CCH for that.

I been waiting for this since the 1st Part dropped 😂😂 HYPE 🔥🔥

So glad I subbed to this channel. Props my guy. Best SF channel I’ve been on. I’m back into the game several yrs. I’m getting SLAIN left and right, but it’s fun. I hope I can stick with it and go into SF6 next year. But yea, awesome commentary, and an awesome guy.

[@plutoburn]

Major props for been able to handle the extreme pop off from the opponent so well.

[@kiryuri9111]

I was yearning for this.

[@ErikZer0FX]

If it makes you feel any better, Chris is REALLY bad at tearing papers in half. Like, remarkably so. You wouldn't think it's something someone could be bad at, but I watched, one right after the other, all these awkward pulls from the center and corner cuts and quarters rips. So weird.

[@tubaina021]

I noticed that as well. Really bad matchup for him. Maybe it's a special kinda of paper, thick and hard to tear. Or he just sucks at it. Nice idea anyway, he did good!

[@26b]

@@tubaina021 might be a thicker/higher quality photo paper, but regardless he should've put time in the lab to get those rips as fierce as possible

[@spman2099]

I loved the gimmick, and thought it was hilarious, but those tears were absolutely awful. He didn't get a single satisfying tear down the middle. I hope he is labbing his paper tears as we speak. Come back even stronger, Chris.

[@emerrinsytchannel1214]

I assume it just has to do with stage fright. I'd probably fuck them up like that too, up on stage with sweaty hands

ChrisCCH is the "Gaunter O'Dimm" of Kumite. Seemingly comes out of nowhere, but the more you look back, the more you realize how many appearances he's actually had, and how dangerous he is.

Hey Brian. I was in twitch chat talking shit about you vs Chris for that first WNF. You called me out, I backed down cause I was outta line. No matter what, I’m sure we can all appreciate that there is young, hungry talent injecting life into the scene. Please keep up the good work.
