@RewindNV Be cheap get Kano

[@RewindNV]

thank you everyone for the love man 😭

[@charleslong1993]

I really wanted you to win the whole thing. Bro you did great, I think you should try sector Kameo. It provides a whole of armor breaking situations and guaranteed overhead, low and command grab set ups. Plus a restand combo on the corner that is plus 20 I believe.

[@caironho9334]

Great reiko player!

[@Eskimofo13]

After the scaling nerfs to CG I think Stryker might be the move. Grenades to cover jump ins, restand, better mix. Plus grenade combos are a lot of fun.

[@ghost-1nklegendary225]

Yeah he's pretty good to play with

Brute forcing your way to to top 8 with REIKO was my favorite thing in this tournament.

[@andany854]

Man ive been watching you since you had the best raiden in mkx. It taught me how to do that run cancel with him. Dont usually cheer for people during gaming tournaments, but i root for you. Appreciate the guides, and content over the years.

[@LordRaptor]

Rewind putting some respecc on Reiko's name! ya love to see it, hopefully this character continues to get more popular, for years I wanted him to return and they brought him back in an interesting time for sure.

[@EddieSmurphy]

In Mother Russia we love fighters like Reiko. You can't imagine how many ppl love you here and were cheering for you last tournament. That was a good juorney for you my friend. Keep up the good work!

[@behindscreen6631]

Totally agree!

[@YokaiSteve]

I'd love to know what was going through your mind, and what coaching you had vs the Reptile at an 0-2 comeback!

[@thequietman9820]

Rewind is one of the few to actually adapt quickly and uses any advantage available to him and make it a big deal

[@Thee_Alex_Gee]

Aye Rewind!!! Watched all your sets live bro! Amazing job man, Great comeback on Cos! I was sweatin on that set! Sonic was on another level, and Xombat was on a mission! Still my #1 guy bro, you'll get that top spot soon man!

[@SaucyCheeseburgerwithRanch]

61% combo at 18:26

[@lyonhart14]

Great sets bro. As someone who is newer to fighters in a serious manner your gameplay is super clean and impressive. I love Reiko cause of you. Im glad they made the changes to Cyrax Kameo, looking back at some of these sets, oh how different things would've gone. Im cheering for you G. Much love and best of luck on the next one.

[@SLX_632]

Glad to see Rewind playin his Reiko.💯🏆

[@ag_miller]

I've said it a few times already but 5th place was a GREAT placing for you and Reiko considering the meta at the time (which is already changing)!

[@canman87]

Good shit, my man. It was fun watchin' you scrape people on your way to another top 8 💪

[@mr.delete6066]

Watching you take Reiko so far at ECT was so dope bro, GGs.

Love the gameplay. Started watching you this past weekend to learn Reiko stayed for the content

[@joesalman6892]

Ggs in the tourny, you're one hella of a good player tbh, keep it up gl in any upcoming tournies

[@ANRO_ANRO]

Favorite comeback Cossner. I think the best matches even better than the final IMHO. Awesome comeback!

[@alfalagos5002]

He did very well in the championship, I love his gameplay with Reiko, I'm training here in Brazil to get close hahaha. This reset of Darrius is for few to do at the right time. I'll be in your crowd at the next championship.

[@OneTimeIsAllItTake]

Great showing at ECT after seeing your performance decided to look more into Reiko!

Among all the pro players you are the only one who remains faithful to the character you like to play. I'm very happy to see him playing with Reiko, he's a good character, I hope you continue with him bro. The best Reiko player! hug from Brazil o/

[@KrzyMadrid]

Refreshing to see someone go off meta and still come out top 5,and the lao vs xombat, man what a switch. If those lao 12 wasn't so inconsistent could've been a wrap.

[@Aaryavir]

the first mk i played was armageddon and my dad would tell me about the characters when they showed up earlier. he favorites are shijunko, havik, daegon, and of course, reiko. it's fitting now that i also really like reiko 😂

[@wizzomoh1030]

Props to rewind for the amazing reiko plays🔥

[@ANRO_ANRO]

This guy Rewind is the reason why i mained Reiko. His just so smart and such a mind gamer. Love his style and the way he scares the crap out of people fo sho. I cant wait to see more of his work in MK1 Reiko. Unfortunate Reiko got scaled. Rewind any idea if you are switching Kameos? I see a lot of good things happening with Sektor but you might be able to elaborate more on keeping Darius and not minding the Nerf.

[@RewindNV]

I still like Darrius tbh and stryker

[@ANRO_ANRO]

@@RewindNV What kind of situation would u switch to Stryker or against what character matchups would u use Stryker im curious to know. Thanx

Holy shit dude, I love playing reiko and you play him like a god, hopefully you succeed in future tournaments

thank you 🙏🏽

Loved watching your Reiko bro👌💯 Bro. Also, bro, Pulse has gotten super cracked out of nowhere. I was actually super hyped while watching him

[@shihancory2292]

You make me want to play Reiko even tho i suck at him lol

[@artm5583]

If you can learn his command grab and accurately. He’s dangerous! I’m still trying to get good with it

[@splav2649]

It's still a solid damage from unblockable move (command grab) after patch, so probably no need to change from Darrius

[@gmsdoomclock1444]

The commentator had me dying "he's dead he's actually dead "

[@shirairyutv420]

Good stuff man best Reiko free

[@dmg713]

You did amazing with reiko considering how many others were using top tier character/cameo combos. I would love some kind of buff for reiko even if it aint needed. Tic throws and maybe his meter burned command grab costing one but I dont see that one happening.

[@Wafflemister]

The new Reiko fit is immaculate

[@Rayosesno]

Woooh 🎉❤ thats my boy Rewind. So clean and wonderful Reiko. And fight again the best, great tournament. Excelente trabajo 👏

[@ANRO_ANRO]

SonicFox dissing the handshake but im sure it was just a friendly joke because they know each other and they have to face off haha…SonicFox has been a crazy MK guru and did not expect Rain with those corny moves to win but im sure Sonic chose him because of the plus frames and i thought he would pick Kenshi. Final game he beat Ninja too with this corny character lol. Fun to watch pros i learned a lot from Rewind since i also use Reiko. Much love for doing so well with Reiko! against the best of the best.

[@Bulletz4Breakfast69]

I wanted to say something about your money earned at ECT($350 for 5th) Obviously its WB and not NRS. For them to pay more and tournament fund prise pools with Skins people need to chill out about a fatality costing $10 or (get it free in invasions by leveling 3 characters to 31 with XP trick) WB has to make profits or they wont pay hundreds of employees and NRS division to care about the future of game balance, buffing or reverting over nerfs or paying more out in Top 8/Top 16s in Majors. If you pay for a couple skins they will most likely care about balancing and releasing Pro Tour Skins for $5 or $10. That Blue Steel Sub Zero skin funded Pro Comp vsry well and it was only $2. Just my thoughts

[@kielbonner4629]

Great showing, I think they nerfed reiko because of you😂😂😂 thanks rewind

i know man 😢 still playing reiko tho
