The Low-Tiers Strike Back | ECT 2024 Top 8

With an ultra-rare opportunity to win a spot at Capcom Cup, the best of the best arrive at East Coast Throwdown to... well, throw down! And the best of the best use the best characters... or do they? Grapplers and gimmicks abound in this hype top 8 finale!
BTW watching the replay when you've already seen the recap is just adding dramatic irony.

Booce is one of our guys, we helped him out when he was homeless earlier this year and to see him at this level showing off just how good he is at this game makes me feel happy. And hey, no shame losing to the two grand finalists. Hope he gets more chances to make it to the big stages again.

[@nameless55697]

Big ups for helping your dude, he's sick with it! Looking forward to seeing him in more tournaments.

[@Shakenbake-in9ux]

Yeah man, just put his business all up out there

[@invincibleloonie]

@@Shakenbake-in9ux If it lets us support more people in precarious situations whenever they need help, I’ll be glad for it. Even the smallest actions can help spread the message, and now he gets to face some of the best players in the world like he deserves without having to worry about his bills. People out there can feel ashamed asking for help, and breaking that stigma can change their lives.

[@Shakenbake-in9ux]

@@invincibleloonie yeah you can do that without saying “see him? See him? He was just homeless until we helped him out, now he’s famous”

Booce losing as Jamie in front of a big crowd furthers The Agenda

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

As a Jamie main, tell me more. I must know.

[@BasicallyGoblin]

@@P0rk_Sinigang The Agenda is convincing Capcom he needs buffs. Lots of buffs. Egregious buffs.

[@pretzels7437]

​@BasicallyGoblin capcom: alright we heard you guys *buffs rashid*

[@BasicallyGoblin]

@@pretzels7437 I mean, they did literally buff Ed lmao

[@GGeofreed]

BasicallyGoblin spotted! Also, I don't have high hopes on receiving any buffs for Jamie.

brian_f thanks for letting me borrow your lamborghini yesterday 🙏 i left it in the garage of your 69480 sq ft mansion

Wtf is this

[@bobshaun1184]

What character does Itabashi Zangief play again?

I wouldnt know

Not sure I forgot

[@sid216]

bro its in the name the char is itabashi

[@Qobp]

Abigail

[@Randizzol1]

Booce with Jamie actually came closer than anybody to beating Itabashi’s Gief in this field👀. Jamie mains let’s go!!!

[@retrosaur_]

Not true, in pools a player with the name "IGOTDEMBOMBS" managed to get Itabashi down to the final round final match even though he lost. (Pool D104)

[@Randizzol1]

@@retrosaur_ *uhmm actually* head ahh you got me. But also true he was the only one to win 2 matches against Itabashi *chugs water jug*

[@nobodyinparticular80]

Booce doing irl drink levels is wild

[@eebbaa5560]

jamie will have his revenge.

[@AsDeft]

Season 3 boys

[@mfd8346]

Confirmed lore he gets super depressed, becomes a chronic alcoholic, starts gaining weight. But finally kicks the habit and rebrands himself as Roofus

[@briquesbts]

I feel like Booce almost had it, he made some weird choices and that's the thing about Jamie. The mental stack is so much greater

[@asmodyan]

That Daigo x Idom set was GG Strive level of crazy, like wtf i never seen street fighter being played that fast in a tournament by pros, that was entertaining as hell 😂

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

I didn't know that Manon can be so hype, those are some wild matches from Idom

[@LucasLima-qk1lw]

Damn, that Idom x Daigo was just insane from the very first second to the very end

[@Calhasnopals]

I love watching Idom play, he fights like a man with nothing to lose. He has such disdain for the core mechanics of this game that he just throws caution to the wind and lets the most online strategies rip against godlike players when they least expect it, inter-spliced with world class fundies

[@danger2236]

Booce, man after my own heart, please I wish I had this much belief in anything in life, as much as he had for Jamie

[@SkarjOS]

It's okay Jamie bros, season 3 our season fr fr this time 🙏

[@sorensouthard927]

The Jamie and Manon dream is real.

[@thetankwargunner]

Itabashi and Snake Eyez are my Zangief role models.

[@TheShotgunShovel]

Still waiting on that mirror match...

[@El-Burrito]

I'm glad you keep the KZbin viewers up to date with the bets. I love knowing how chat voted in retrospect already knowing the outcome. Chat knw iDom was on something

[@savethemboys.7039]

As a day one Jaime I've waiting along time for this

[@Clarkbardoone]

Jamie losing a set in top 8 is the highlight of his career, I really hope they buff him or change him because he’s my favorite too

[@vergils.lawnchair]

Been playing Jamie since the beta, and have been so bummed to never see him represented. Booce is the man 🤙

[@charlieb8735]

Dual Kevin has been on fire lately. I respect Booce sticking it out with Jamie even though he probably would’ve had a better shot with Ken. I feel like watching how big of a difference his adjustments made just in the span of one match justifies the choice if he’s sticking with Jamie long term. Just really great matches across the board here. Hats off to Capcom to see the variety of characters that look competitive right now. There’s always things that probably need adjusting but 8 different characters in top 8 and literally every one of the 24 characters represented in the top 128 is worth taking time to appreciate.

[@darksniper1n]

honestly really appreciate these top 8 breakdowns and analysis, much easier to watch than live.

[@dissipatedyouth890]

Whole tourney was crazy in general tbh 🔥

[@alexandersze49]

I’m sad the Jamie dream didn’t came true

[@2swissCommentators]

Sweep whiff into Sweep Counterhit from Daigo had me laughing so hard the cat outside my window got worried

[@JustuMaster451]

Ft3 is great because if not everyone would have just said booce threw the game

[@EzKay_PX]

LMAO but actually true I lowkey wanna see him cook with full Jamie tho, I know his Ken is amazing, but maybe what he needed was just that lil of extra character confidence/knowledge

[@erichthegraham]

11:00 Brian saying "you're r gonna drink, right?" Reminds me of the saga of Square hole girl. The disappointment was mounting.

[@RedLineOneGC]

41:11 when u jus praying that SOMETHING hits so u can avoid the inevitable ! 😂

[@TheShotgunShovel]

Wonder how bad the nerfs are gonna be next patch? Are we talking... •A wrist slap? •A Kooch Kick? •Pipe to the skull? •A shovel for a closed Kasket? (heh Mortal Kombat c's are k's) The anticipation is immense.

[@sparkatus]

Props to Idom for being the Rashid slayer of this tournament

[@sweetpotatodesuwa]

Can't believe I was rooting for a disguise Ken player with a Jamie this games so cool man

Yo that was so hype. The Daigo iDom fiesta. SO CLOSE Idom. I was rooting for him big time. Cool to see Itabashi gief though.

[@douglasmijangos3327]

Brian should do some announcing for a tournament bruh 😂 it’s so great 🙌🏻❤

[@undoublelocket]

when will we have our day manon bros? T-T

[@mkeonine]

Hope Jamie gets some proper buffs next patch. He's such a cool character and I feel certain players like Booce can bring out the best in him.

Daigo has to think 6 is jokes bruh

[@charlieharrington9555]

Why?

[@GDPanda69]

ANGRY COMMENT ABOUT SOL

[@EAprima]

Watching two Rashid fight against each other is like watching a completely different game that I can relate to no none other than Marvel vs Capcom. THat makes it even more clear to me that Rashid does not belong to SF6, at least not in his current form. Anytime Rashid is in a match, it's SF6 vs A Different Game. Man... I guess I figured out why I don't like Rashid.

[@Guccibear100]

Lets go!

[@sugarrayrags4320]

I’m not gonna lie Booce kinda threw going Jamie against Itabashi Zangief

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

Right? The worst tournament character in the game.

[@EzKay_PX]

I think he just believes in the matchup being better for him, he got to Legend with him after all so at least he's played a decent amount of Gieffs and preferred the Jamie MU compared to the Ken one (and hell, he ALMOST won that, got to set point after all and iirc nobody got him there)

[@Nofixdahdress]

Y'all clearly watched a different match than I did. The start was rough, but Booce is definitely cooking something up with the Jamie into Gief. He gave Itazan a harder time than anyone else in top 8.

[@tylerhopkins4476]

Itabashi lost to a Jamie player at EVO. Yall and Brian are a bit too obsessed with tiers.

[@EzKay_PX]

@@Nofixdahdress True! people be playin down bottom tiers in SF6 like its bottom tiers in fucking MvC2. Sure they arent that consistant, but we are no longer playin unbalanced messes of games where 25% of the cast is straight up usable and another 50% is just other characters but worse. SF6 is extremely well balanced power wise, cuz everyone can actually fucking cook in almost any MU with enough practice .
