MenaRD (Birdie) vs. EndingWalker (Ed) - Top 8 - Capcom Cup IX

[@DougMPA]

You gotta check if Ending Walker is still breathing every once and a while. Kid is stone cold when he plays. Even in Tournament.

[@rhenevers5229]

I liked that this Capcom Cup had young folks coming up and taking out so many strong players. Always happy to see a new generation of players come into the scene.

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Indeed. Can't wait to see more of Zhen, EndingWalker, DCQ, Kawano, and other young players in SF 6.

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

Finally this horrible era is over. Quickly forgotten.

[@rhenevers5229]

@@Darkness-ie2yl I doubt it'll be quickly forgotten. If history has proven anything; FGC clings to the past hard and will always bring up older entries when playing a new title.

[@rsantoso81]

Love to see Mena playing Birdie.

[@bigdaddyjh2002]

I know he went Luke because of the inconsistency Birdie had in some matchups but I agree with you. His Birdie is amazing to see.

[@villagernumber9233]

Even though I struggle against Eds in ranked I was rooting for EndingWalker all the way. I'm sure he'll make a comeback when SF6 comes into fold.

[@Imokay304]

give him 1 year. if he can stay on the grind track he will be unstoppable.

[@hhhh-bn3of]

Wow well played Mena, I'm proud to be from UK. Respect walker your the one to watch m8. I believe in u.

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

This was the match that I said...if Mena beat EndingWalker, he straight up take the cup....when I saw he picked Birdie I was....oh no Mena what are you doing you will get smok.......and he did it, with Birdie, I was like...YOOOOOOOOO!! that cup is ours XD (I from DR so XD). mad respect to This kid Ending Walker his Ed is a MONSTER he smoke everyone since that tournament in UK that he quality, he and Zhen where the MVPS in this cup and the rookies of this year, both super young and incredibly talented.

[@varan2412]

birdie is a very good matchup against ed, why were you worried when he picked birdie?

[@albertmerida4588]

Most likely, Menard has seen how Endingwalker fought against other Lukes, and how easily he defeated them, in addition to the fact that Luke is one of the most used by gamers, and Ending is most likely already knew how to face them. That's why I think he played with Birdie, to unbalance endingwalker's game, moreover, in many moments he didn't know how to respond to Birdie's attacks.

[@Darkness-ie2yl]

The worst era is finally over. With the weakest game, weakest tournament and champion.

[@raymondcampusano2991]

@@Darkness-ie2yl Weakest tournament and had the highest prize ever when he first won....

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

@@varan2412 Mena is not been playing too often recently with Birdie and EndingWalker have been on point the entire tournament, so that got me worry specially when he took the first game. But Mena bounced back well after.

[@waydeclarke5349]

Incredible set!....Loved the "You played good" at the end from Mena shows class. Well done Mena.

[@CVE]

Confidence is the 1st rule to being a consistent winner. You have to be confident to be bold in this game to win. You have to be confident to take your losses well, so that you can learn and grow from them. You must be confident within yourself to stay relaxed and calm so that you can play your character in an intelligent, free and successful way. MenaRD is a veryyy confident player. That's all I can tell you for now.

[@Triangulito360180]

The fact that Mena was saying a few words to Endinwalker when the fight ended and he continued on his way makes it pretty clear to me that he has no respect.

[@Dr.Faustus.]

The guy just leaves every time. He won a major UK tournament and left the stage immediately. Ending WALKER

[@recardooneal9900]

love when the guy says "that will be the round" well in advance knowing the combo will kill

[@herbaldragonX]

This kid got talent and he just starting to spread his wings.

[@eduarcordero580]

El combate más importante de todo el torneo, MenaRD the champ! !the real beast 🇩🇴🇩🇴

[@PomadaGaming]

this was a damn match man. Mena bust up the prodigies with his own prodigy. damn

[@waterworka1]

Is Birdie considered "top tier"? Where Birdie rank on most tier list? MenaRD should be spoken of as one of the SFV Greats after winning 2 cups.

[@randomboy343]

so dude was 10 years old when this game came out ? crazy

[@SoulInajar]

@@willh7352 or he just has hella time as a child to teenager. Hours of serious practice is heaven .

[@Hapaborean]

@@SoulInajar dawg stfu most of the best players in this game are almost 40. If you want it bad enough, you’ll make the time. Walker still keeps up with all his real life responsibilities.

[@SoulInajar]

@@willh7352 sounds like a blast 😀

[@euanmilne5302]

MenaRD made a smart choice going birdie, he had seen ending knew the luke MU too well, and banking on the birdie worked out, but dang endingwalker is good

[@agiosKatastrof]

My favorite match of the night.

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

MenaRD have better mu knowledge than Ending. But i'm still give my salute to Ending which i'm sure he will come back stronger for SF 6. On the other hand, shame on people who mocked Ending for whatever reason.

[@hhhh-bn3of]

He did it again wow

[@PomadaGaming]

8:20 what an insane read

[@PomadaGaming]

looks like EW doesn’t like the can 10:13 eesh man

[@adrianojimenez2844]

Mena is super good making comebacks.

i just noticed, Birdie Sprite looks like Mena RD himself.. there is a resemblance on the outfit.. Oh shit.. it was meant for him... it has RD written on the right shoulder.. hahaha

Everybody plays the same because this game doesn't give you any freedom to play any other way compared previous street fighter titles.

[@nickchan2310]

not ever going back esports for you

[@blackmanta2527]

I would say that about sfv online . But not pro level

[@nickchan2310]

still rather watch 3 or 4 and just look at the luke pros they all play the same clone wars lol

[@brenovictor6293]

Endingwalker joga muito, mas foi nítido que e experiência de Menard se sobressaiu.

[@BajanCreation]

Respectfully!!! MENA IS SUCH A GOOD PLAYER. Endingwalker depended on the character carrying capacity here. He didn't have any answers.

[@PomadaGaming]

that’s cap. This is winners top 8,they had a round robin in his group where he fought everyone and still came out on top of it to get there. Not only shaming on ending walker but also the people he beat as if they just got gimmicked. Also luke was in this tournament a lot lol what are you saying

[@BajanCreation]

@@PomadaGaming wasn't this a birdie vs Ed FT3? What are you saying? MENA is TRUE warrior.

Mena: to beat a scrub you need to play like a scrub. Random sweeps activated lol

[@facepalmmedia]

😂 that scrub made it further in Capcom Cup then you could make it at a local.

[@EliosMoonElios]

That scrub beat the crap of all your favorite players.

[@robertric8279]

I don't think they were random sweep. It looked spaced out.

[@varan2412]

not random sweeps. They're spaced out so Ed can't punish them. Its why this matchup favours birdie

That's a perfect space sweep lol Oh another rookie rank . Ignore what I said since y'all won't get it anyway kekw
