SFV: Rise | MenaRD vs Echo Fox | Tokido - Capcom Cup 2017 Grand Finals - CPT2017

[@elwachinmanda]

MenaRD beat Kazunoko, Xian, Daigo, Itazan, Nemo and Tokido in Capcom cup OMG!!!He really earned it.Congrats my man!

[@elies38100]

And some people keep saying that it was LUCK

[@bmoresgreatest05]

[@me79999]

He also beat NuckleDu and Punk in separate (and recent) tournaments. He really is something amazing

[@EJJTheMiner]

I don't follow SFV much but dang. This was intense. Menas face after winning...he was in disbelief. Congrats to him!

[@Arjay9975]

27:08 That genuine look of "Oh My God, I can't believe I did it" look on Mena's face. Priceless.

[@ZeeJayBay]

I love those moments when the winner is so stunned everything slows down. They put the controller down slowly, move slowly and you can just see the "holy fuck" in every speck of their being. Shout out to Birdie mains!

[@1DAR26]

This was the biggest upset of the year, but I won't lie or take this away from the two by saying they played their ass off. I wanted Tokido to win and make history as being the first player to win EVO and Capcom Cup back to back but MenaRD proved how much he wanted it more. Please don't call him names and say things like "If this was USFIV Mena would've been blown up by Tokido." Whether that is true or not this is SFV not USFIV. Show the guy some respect as Tokido did. Congratulations MenaRD.

[@PhongNguyenThanh2503]

Through out the year, MenaRD had multiple matches again both Punk and NuckleDu, either win or lose, those were very close matches, so I am not surprise with the result today. He really proved himself by beating Xian, Daigo (former EVO champs), Kazunoko (former Capcom champ), Itazan, Nemo who both have excellent performances today. Finally, he bested Tokido, who is considered the best Street Fighter 5 player at the moment. This is history, and well-deserved for MenaRD

[@chukwuemekatorti9749]

Well you have to hold a button, which means you need some planning and you lose that button while you plan for it, Birdie is not exactly a great player, playing Birdie against Guile is a nightmare and Mena managed to beat Daigo in that matchup.

For all you menaRD haters do take note that he won this event fair and square. He had to fight through the toughest players on the planet, 2 times which were tokido. Plus he was using a low tier character of all the cast. Between all the players he deserved this more than anyone in the circut.

And if he‘d rely less on demon flips and that 50/50 set up (which mena studied and guess what wasn‘t cought once) he would‘ve scared the shit out of mena.
