[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

[@digital42082]

He would have but Kenshi is broken.

[@WalkBesideMe]

@@digital42082 Kenshi is not broken nor or is Sento, he's literally a specialist pick. Either level up or shut up.

[@Kmq_Misfits]

⁠@@WalkBesideMe That’s like saying, “Fujin isn’t broken because he is a Hard Character”. Fujin was considered the most Execution heavy character in the entire game, and he was still TOP ONE. Kenshi is Hard at the highest level, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t Broken, there are multiple characters that take IQ, but are still Broken, and At the highest possible level, Kenshi is Indeed, Broken LOL. Nicolas literally got Flawlessed by a Kenshi, Sento literally breaks the rules of Fighting Game Fundamentals. Even without Sento, Kenshi has the best Whiff Punish Buttons in the entire game aside from Kitana, and he is good at ALL DISTANCES, amazing Neutral, Amazing Footies, Amazing Zoning/Counter zoning. With Sento out, each hit is like Plus 17, jailing each Individual 50/50 into another 50/50 Jail, storing 50/50s within 50/50s, these 50/50s also Break armor, therefore, you cannot Armor or Poke. You can Armor and poke in between, but yet again, a good Kenshi will just bait that, and punish you for free. Just because a character is hard, does not mean, that the character is not broken. Fujin was TOP 1, YET, Fujin took Extremely Skillful Execution and Precision.

[@curie1420]

​@@Kmq_Misfits kenshi is not broken, he is just op because he forces you to play a different game if you know how to play kenshi well..... if you are talking broken then it must be a character with unfair frames and launchers that takes literally a button press to execute broken means unfair and little to no way to actually win against that character unless you use the same character, kenshi is just op

[@saintmangosteen]

It's so sad to watch Roethor lose when he had gone undefeated for so long and brought all games to game 5 final rounds. He may not have won number 1 but he's definitely the ultimate champion of the people at this point, so glad he at least made it far enough to he paid. Go Roether season 9 he will ein undefeated for sure!!!

@@Lucktni dude plays super lame, but in a bad way, uses extremely cheese tactics, constantly backpedaling and if he starts to lose - he picks scorpion/jax to keep people blocking during spin attack and Jax does the unblockable ground pound.

SPOILERS AHEAD just cause i had complains in a previous video but ffs people watch the video first seriously.

Congratulations to everyone who made it this far, Sossed, KK, Val, Roethor, Social, MKJavi, Bwood and of course the reigning champion Kanimani.

[@MO-sc1eu]

I'm confused, i watched another tournament called evo and has different players , who is better these players or evo one like sonicfox

[@tiptapricot]

Not done but such a fantastic top 8, I’m still firm in feeling that when Kani eventually falls it’ll be Roethor there to push him off, it’s just been too close too many times and Roethor definitely has the skill. It’ll be well earned and hard fought and I’m excited for it.

[@Kmq_Misfits]

I’m gonna leave another comment and say, Mari should join The Arena, he plays Quan, Shang, multiple fan favorites, and what’s crazy is, he actually makes Scorpion/Jax fun to watch, cause he plays that team COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than the Others

[@kyleburroughs4185]

Either give Ghostface his knife cancels back or make it where you can swap through killers without having to switch sides like switching khameleon variations. So you get the different moves but if opp has to pay closer attention to what variation you are on. Plus you shouldn't have to switch variations mid combo anymore unless you want to. If u could switch variation mid combo without switching sides it would give him way more combo potential being able to do different ohs mid combo and different specials as well. You could throw knives with shoulder charge and stuff. That would be sick
