The Champs (are in Losers Bracket) - CPT NA East Top 16

[@El-Burrito]

You'd think Ryu would be a boomer character for boomers, but his two biggest players are a 16 and a 17 year old lmao. Ryu is honestly kinda sick

[@Kasaaz]

I think if you've got the reactions, he's the best answer to Ken and Luke.

[@killahteck402]

The boomer lost faith the are being punish for their sins

[@FreebyrdFayelanx]

It's almost like he was the poster boy for the series.

[@ZenPaladin]

Ryu has this intensity and ethic that can really draw in a young man. I totally get it from playing SF2 in my school days.

@@ZenPaladin Bruh you summed it up well for me

[@baconx6476]

That drop from Idom in that situation must be the thing of nightmare for all pro players lol

[@readytoplay2480]

Imagine if that's drop in grand finals in Capcom cup, it's like Knee drop easy combo in gamers 8 Tekken and loss literally 300k

[@baconx6476]

@@readytoplay2480 That's a million spacebux drop bro, I can't even fathom...

[@raiffesilva4908]

He only really dropped because Manon sucks, that combo is inconsistent for no reason.

[@CaptainDCap]

@@raiffesilva4908 He had a hard punish and a throw with 4 mettle would've killed, guaranteed. I have no clue why he even went for that combo. But I don't even play fighting games, so I'm sure he had reasons I can't comprehend.

[@raiffesilva4908]

He probably went for the combo because it is the default punish for a whiff DP with no medals, but yeah on 4 medals he could have gone for the cmd throw.

[@ignacioalmonacid6153]

I wish I had seen this live. Love Brian's commentary, his game analysis is really entertaining and deep.

[@ARKumalarkey]

As a Manon main, my scrubby ass defaults to command grab for literally any punish when I have 3 medals or more, and it hurt my soul when iDom tried to do a combo instead.

Thank you Mr Brain for the consistent coverage, really helps me keep up with the tournament scene.

[@LvLocks1915]

That ending is what happens when you become too optimal brained damn.

[@5milemacc737]

He had the kill and it was a fairly simple combo 2 hits into launcher but he dropped the ender somehow.

[@LvLocks1915]

@@5milemacc737 Yea but he could've just did a half circle and hit 1 button and that's the win right there, that's my point. Obviously in that moment it's literally 2-2 final game final round in a Major tournament so a mistake like this makes sense.

[@DandyAnnieTime]

I'd watch every tournament with Brian's live analysis if I could. Such a wonderful enhancement to the tournament watching experience. From the depth of knowledge to the enthusiasm. I love fighting games and Brian_f is a huge part of why. Much love king.

[@jevorok3905]

I had the sinking feeling that idom was gonna drop when he didn't go for the command grab finish, actually so sad

[@5milemacc737]

That was one of the most unfortunate drops ever.

[@juggbot4572]

Cringe pfp

[@Trackerstatus]

Damn, iDom could've just done raw command grab. He was level 4. That was a guaranteed kill too.

[@EMTgamer]

Holy cow that Ramos set gave me heart problems

[@EMTgamer]

just finished watching the punk set vs spaceboy and my body can't take it

[@aweto5199]

Bruh idom v Ramos came down to the wire, I screamed when he dropped

[@mBountyHunter]

These young players coming out of the woodwork and making a name for themselves always brings a smile to my face, regardless of whatever game it’s from. Same thing happened in MK11 with the Chilean twins and they DOMINATED that game.

[@El-Burrito]

Missed most of this cause I was trying to watch TWT at the same time, but I managed to catch that Paladin vs Punk match and I am so glad

[@mrnozchalazt7199]

SF6 is so hyped. That ending though 😂

[@whizthesugoi]

Fuck I remember the Luke Got Them Nervous só good Also it's weird for me that I was always impressed in SFV how many random hits Kami could convert into optimal combos, but in this game he still is dropping some random combos Can't wait for when he can get all his bearings again and catch a top 8

[@Ninadayoo]

Can anyone explain to me why Modern Marisa is a thing? as a Marisa main i dont get it

[@josevitorcalfa2]

I was ready to complain that every music was a spoiler for each mach's winner, and came last match with a big plot twist. AMAZING EDIT! Got me surprised.

[@zegim]

Love watching this videos. Pointing out the technical nuances of the matches is very interesting.

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

Ngl that idom drop made my jaw drop irl

[@joshlister4938]

Bro, the end of that idom/ramos match was horrific.......

[@bas7467]

To me its great to see Punk fail. He had his chance in SF5 but now lives of the fumes of his former status.

[@metroidgus]

even though i saw it live its great seeing it with your commentary of whats going on as well, really helps to understand why they make some choices

[@JeremeSanders]

Love it and your roasting of the person trash talking in chat at the end was just too funny

[@AFoxDeLox]

46:08 IDOM MESSED UP THE TIMING ON THAT BROOOOOOO, went into the lab and see if it worked and it did it just that he messed up the timing on that 😭

[@foundat2073]

Its crazy how KnuckleDu recently talked about his "why" for playing & you mentioning at the start how MenaRD beat Knuckle last round last everything to qualify.. Idk about yall but judging from the way Knuckle plays.. he houngry & Mena beat him 😮

[@Juanmi87]

I remember when you blocked Paladin. He talked about it on a Fighting Games Discord group. Man, he was so upset... I remember that he talked about how he admired you, and how he felt so stupid about the whole situation. Yeah, I remember his sense of humor being quite special, and he being a bit immature (which is absolutely normal for his age) I'm glad he's doing good, he has an insane Ryu.

[@StrangelyIronic]

That Manon combo will randomly drop in burn out if you're not really early on the grab input. I say random because I've landed it on a small hitbox late before and basically identical timing earlier, it juts whiffed right through like that. I respect iDom for sticking with her, but he needs a character like his SF5 Poison for this game that lets him play mid-full screen and just control the game from start to finish.

[@hihellokitty85]

17:40 "All he knows is Street Fighter & pr- algebra..." Actually he's going to college this yr, he's pretty smart for an 16 yrs old. Come on, now a days, middle school kids know pre-algebra. Unless, wait you knew pre-algebra at 16? Then cgs!

[@Afro_Blue]

I really appreciate the censoring of names in the description, one of the best FGC content creators for real

[@Angel7black]

No way Paladin is 16 years old, ive been running into him on CFN for years now. You mean to tell me he was like 12-13 and in the Diamond to Warlord pool?

[@Gmork-pb9dl]

Absolutely correct! I believe just turned 16 too!

[@TenjinZekken]

Young players are really receptive to learning and absorb info fast. If you get them into the game young, amd they put in the work, they'll absolutely kick ass. The reason I push for less toxicity is mostly because I want parents to feel good about letting their kids enter the FGC, because they could truly turn the scene on its head. I mean look at the way EW plays. Full confidence, no fear, amd mechanics completely on point.

[@unB4nned]

This tournament had some tense sets, love this game.

[@drakel5943]

Hey Mr Brian F. You didnt even mention me, sillygoose. Ill have you know i crushed my 3 matches (one of which was a DQ because they didnt show up) untill I, in turn, got crushed in my fourth match. This is clearly EVO / Capcom Cup champion behavior and I need your recognition

[@chargeheby882]

Has Brian tried to be an actual commentator? He's great

[@GanguroKonata]

Chriiiist, I dunno if it was just auto pilot or whatever but lv 4 grab 100% was enough especially on punish counter to finish up that level of health You truly hate to see it

[@exec_rigveda8299]

idom needs to drop manon if he wants to win

[@arthurgomes9248]

People were saying pretty much the same back in 5 with Laura/Poison and Idom last evo run in 5 was amazing.

Without a doubt, level 4 takes off a huge chunk in its own, not to mention on punish
