How the #1 JP player used perfect timing to win $400,000

[@TehZergRush]

Kakeru out here single handedly showing why perfect parries don't need a buff.

[@TheBigEmstos]

They need a nerf. Really lame mechanic as they are now

@@TheBigEmstos Boring for guys with skill issues, I don’t see another reason tbh lol. The damages of this thing is litteraly scaled to death + it’s not easy to suceed it at all and you ask for nerf just because you saw a single player mastering it, come on man 😂

[@puchimausu]

Man's parrying everything like its dark souls

[@wanpokke]

Dude parried so many times I'm sure he's playing Sekiro at that point

[@jkdman2007]

PP in sf6 is way hard. it's only 2f.

[@2centstudios]

Absolutely phenomenal play. I hope seeing this inspires more JP mains to be born. The character is pretty interesting imo and really fun to watch at high level.

[@KTSamurai1]

it really speaks to the cleverness of the wide range of universal mechanics in this game that for a couple hours people were celebrating the player and not complaining about the character they played

[@jacsmi]

I don't think Kakeru paused, leverless controllers have the start buttons on the sides. I'm not high level enough to see all the minute technical details, so highly appreciative that you put out this video.

Evo 32 moments fr

[@TheAce1183]

I was watching some of the dev matches from before release and I noticed how much they parry in different situations. Obviously not every one was in a perfect situation for it but for testers who play each other all day every day it makes so much more sense now.

[@cashbag]

Kakeru's parry game is ahead of its time

[@Fleet_Admiral]

Kakeru's PP is powerful

[@unB4nned]

Kakeru just came back stronger then ever, honestly some of the best competetive matches I've seen in sf6 by far, Always 2 steps ahead with his awareness and reactions.

[@deice3]

Gamers8 moment #32 (for the 32 parries😅)

[@Shiedas10]

well explained everything nice video

[@chichitojuarez]

I'm a JP main, I'm def trash tho, but watching Kakeru just made me want to improve! Just watching his gameplay you can def tell that's not the character is him literally using every single tool of the game. You mentioned he jumped like twice in the whole set (amazing!). So much to learn on my end! Thanks for the review and for the situations you explained in this video, looking forward to see what's next on this game. Kakeru set the bar too high.

[@souk4507]

"SF Third Strike fan" for the parries

[@ratthewrobin]

I can not believe he did not do one jp command grab... My dude thats like the only thing i can do with JP

[@zeo5008]

Thanks for this video.. It's video's like this that help with learning the came better as well as learning some tricks and tips. These types of videos' are amazing Thank you!

Saudi blood money.

How is it that fighting games still doing have million dollar prize polls

[@fyuira9585]

Man, Kakeru was playing godlike that time. 32 perfect parries, wth. Also, nice review. Learned a lot from this video.

[@Shiratto]

Not yet familiar with the names of the new killers for this game but wasn’t Kakeru also the JP getting loads of perfect parties in the Red Bull Kumite?

[@mort3562]

Yes, he won the lcq right before the event and then got to semi's where he lost to big bird

[@TitaniumDM]

It was beautiful to watch!

[@crueldeity]

15:50 That dog agreed with your point, or the dog took great umbrage with your comments. If any dogs are in chat please confirm.

[@Husteen]

5:38 how come jp got a cr. Mk after parry midscreen? I thought that only worked in the corner. He tried again a❤t 11:14 but it didn't connect, though it looked like he was a little late 15:39 anyone know why kakeru does that combo instead of the typical jp bnb? As far as I know, its less damage and less meter build.

[@fieryfeends8227]

I don't play JP but usually optimal combo in terms of damage or gauge build is exchanged with corner carry or consistentcy depends on the situation, most likely corner carry tho. Is JP bnb the one that end with spike after overhead ghost? If so, i think he want the aggression in the corner rather than the long-range neutral game for some reason.

[@mcTenro]

Wow that game was a true masterpiece !

Does a Perfect Parry prevent you from going into Burnout if your Drive Gauge is one block away from Burnout?

[@ivanleon6164]

yes PP adds gauge.

[@bigredradish]

haters will see you win nearly half a million dollars and go "the perfect parry really scaled your combo"

[@kenmasters2231]

they almost didn't use Drive Reversal at any point?

[@AlCaponi__]

Nice

[@letmefeelthevibes]

Capcom needs to nerf Kakeru.

[@stephenm8233]

I do want some change with the parry, since it’s a bit ridiculous imo currently. Capcom has the right idea. It just needs some adjusting. Maybe change it so it’s no longer an option on wake-up? The two places it’s just annoying is in certain block strings where it’s basically guaranteed perfect, and on wake-up.

[@nickkiller-0710]

even if you do the parry as a reversal, it will only be a perfect parry if you do the parry input 1 frame before the strike lands on ya, so even the smallest delay will throw their timings off

[@itstaeday]

Or not be predictable with blockstrings…? Some characters would be completely destroyed without wakeup parry being an option lol

[@Shiratto]

@@itstaedayAs a Marisa player I already struggle with no invuln reversal so not even being able to perfect parry would be devastating

[@ivanleon6164]

how can people complain on JP when Ken, Luke, Blanka and Juri exists.

[@Scyanyde666]

You forgot Guile. Also, 99% of Juri players don't know what they're doing with the character.

[@maisondav1d]

There are three things certain in life - death, taxes and gamers complaining

[@enalurismack]

2hrs without JP hate is too weak. By Capcom Cup its gonna be max 2min

[@ResidentNotEvil5]

400k is way to high for 3days tournament it's slap to evo tournament 75k 1st place

[@StruC]

Tekken had a bigger pot at Gamers8 - So it's not the biggest payout for fighting games ever, just for Street Fighter .

[@BroskiFGC]

Tekken had $500k for 1st but it was a team event, so that was split between 3 players (around $166k each). SF6 was solo $400k for 1st.

[@memebro3181]

Tekken7 Gamers8 event was a team tournament. Nice try.

[@JohanMGO]

Lost me at JP

[@Zlei.]

But perfect parries are too weak... Should get full damage... Nevermind.

[@jkdman2007]

It's very hard to do even in practice mode. I think it deserves even more damage.
