INSANE COMEBACKS - MenaRD vs Broski | Red Bull Kumite 2024

[@Mandydeth]

A lot of people said Broski was only there as a content creator personality, but he's the only one in the room who came close to taking out Mena while he was handing out donuts to everyone else.

[@TowerGameOffical]

they must have confused him with Idom lol

[@ishmaelmiles2216]

On top of that he's using a low tier character against Luke

[@KiTTtheKiDD]

No

@@HugoFix007 You clearly don’t know or understand what MVP means dawg. It’s not a title that is always given to the winner.

[@aledantih6524]

As an AKI player Broskis gameplay here was absolutely inspiring and he was the guy who gave Mena the most trouble the entire tournament, props to him and I hope he's pleased with these results.

[@Justpostitlikethat]

Mena did not know the match up. He later used experience to win

[@kuaikukia]

Good show from Broski. Didn't expect Broski can put so much fight against MEnard. Probably the only player that has nerves of steel fighting the best player in the world

[@Justpostitlikethat]

It's the lack of match up knowledge...

Absolutely the best set of the whole thing.

[@tentayeprimo6674]

Broski and Hikaru keeping AKI alive

[@retnuHDJ]

Commentators kept saying that the jab buff was helping but I don't think there was a single combo Broski did that had an extra jab in it compared to pre-patch Aki

[@stefmac]

I was saying the same thing lmao. The combo where Justin specifically talks about the buff was possible pre-buff 😅

[@mappybc6097]

Those standing mp extra active frames did come in handy.

[@retnuHDJ]

@@mappybc6097 It did indeed, but the commentators were talking about the jab buff, not the MP buff. They seemed to think it was allowing Broski to get extra jabs in his combos, which it wasn't.

[@mappybc6097]

@@retnuHDJ True. Technically, he could have risked that extra jab, but against arguably the best player in the world using a top 3 character it just wasn't worth it.

[@retnuHDJ]

@@mappybc6097 Well the problem with adding that extra jab to combos that only had 2 before is that it then puts HP whip out of range, so it really doesn't have much use

[@Torbero47]

Never heard of broski till today and boy I'm a fan. This was better than semi finals and grand finals itself

[@Frosh_911]

Had no idea AKI was that dope

[@GeoGyf]

She is bottom tier actually. It was more like Broski's skill & Menards lack of matchup knowledge.

[@salttrader4113]

​@GeoGyf Don't think that stands anymore, after the buffs, she is a danger. She is just hard to use, but the good Aki players are extremely difficult to deal with...

[@bosansekali898]

One of the best sets in the tournament for sure.

[@Dr.Faustus.]

Broski made the most entertaining match against Mena. The amount of work he put into this character is something to aspire to

[@BlueLightningSky]

That DI timing was insane he must have hit him on the last frame before the first active frame and then cancelled into counter DI

[@GreenBro11]

Broski’s set really brought energy to the Kumite. He was the only one there who took games off Mena or made him seem beatable at all. I think he convinced everyone that AKI is cool.

[@dust_to_dust]

Wow, bruh. Mad Skill from both players. MenaRD... I saw that pride at the end, man. Broski... I saw that humility. To make a relatively low tier character do that well against a top... phewwwww....

[@coryharris1939]

Let’s go AKI!

[@Justpostitlikethat]

Broski did good... Mena did not know the match up very well, you can see he didn't know when to react to anything. But his mental strength is something else. Broski lost to lack of big game experience. Best match

what the f are you talking ? 🤣🤣🤣

[@Justpostitlikethat]

@@Triangulito360180 go watch Mena interview about the match... He said he didn't know the matchup. He said it... I noticed it ..but Mena... The player who isn't you... Said it with his own mouth that the lack of matchup knowledge caused him to struggle. Case 🔒🔐

[@jupiterapollo4985]

@@Triangulito360180 No He's completely correct. There's very little Aki's out there playing her on this level. You can tell Mena didn't fully understand what was going on. But in the end he's just the much better player.

[@georgesmith5201]

Broski is a beastly AKI. I was there watching him figuring out how the character work when she just released and taking Ls from lower rank players 😂 It's amazing how much progress he made.

[@RushianRichard]

Mad respect for Broski. His sfv Oro and sf6 AKI are so inspirational! He absolutely deserves the big stages to shine! 😜🤜

[@alejandrorenderos]

This definitely was the real final

[@neumann778]

Best match

[@johnnieboy66]

This match is a clear example of the detriment of not having an OD reversal. Aki has to take any and all punishment and guess her way out of everything, while Luke has no fear of coming straight at her non-stop and keeping her in constant throw loop 50/50's, while also keeping her offense somewhat at bay since she has to respect his OD reversal.

[@GeoGyf]

Yeah its in Broski's analysis as well, he begs Capcom for Aki buffs. Mena kept jumping late, but it doesnt meant anything. Broski was perfect parrying (at least not to take the first hit) and maybe hope for something. Btw Broski's expectations of the Luke matchup was not to go 0-5 or 1-5. Menard's lack of knowledge certainly helped (he knew the basics).

[@hollowbear45]

this was the best match of the whole tournament! and you can fight me on that one!

[@TheDetonation]

Broski is so sick.

[@ghostblade1042]

[@prabhu786]

Broski was truly amazing. This set is so high level that someone will have to explain what was happening step by step. Also, what was that side switch at 13:10

[@GeoGyf]

Yeah you can watch the Broski match analysis, although you will get disappointed a bit. The reality is that AKI is bottom tier & needs a good anti-air. Mena kept jumping late, but it doesnt meant anything. Broski was perfect parrying (at least not to take the first hit) and maybe hope for something. Btw Broski's expectations of the Luke matchup was not to go 0-5 or 1-5.

[@leronmclean9361]

Throw loops are nasty because they damage you take if you get shimmied is crazy.

[@IBeezSoCrazie]

As a AKI main I love seeing her being used like this!!!

[@apinutkangpanich4958]

Broski = Premium Quality Textbook of A.K.I

[@bobrovrodion225]

what a show of entertainment!

[@Kysen10]

Lack of anti airs cost Broski so much damage.

[@mappybc6097]

It's not thar Broski didn't want to, it's just Luke's jump hp will beat any antiair that's not perfectly timed and then he eats a jump in combo. The risk reward is heavily skewed in Luke's favor.

[@GeoGyf]

AKI has a bad anti-air, thats the truth. Mena kept jumping late, but it didnt mean anything. If you see Broski perfect parries every hit (at least to not take the first hit). Its in Broski's match analysis, he begs Capcom for AKI buffs. Broski's expectations vs the Luke matchup was not to go 0-5 or 1-5.
