When you start seeing Alex hitting with s.HK as a random poke, you know you're watching a one sided match.

[@BanditXVIII]

Vito Mazzarino There's a home for all kinds of buttons; Genki invents his own style, working around his characters' tools. Using a stand Fierce to anti-air, and getting Fierce slashes usually indicates there a solid understanding (or familiarity) between players. I saw him using that back-Fierce when he was checking Hugo's (and YSB's) neutral game--given that YSB can take a tiny mistake and put you in the clinic for it. Seems that Genki understands the danger before him, minimized Hugo's approach options with spacing, answers to blow up the forced parry situation(s) with follow-up answers to YSB's puzzle. I saw some pretty good momentum shift in YSB's hands when he would be aware of Hugo's toolset. Seems like these two enjoy the hype behind the match. Sick set. Never really saw YSB get bullied, or forced into a more conservative (yet still 'THUMPY') play-style. Was pretty gnarly to see these two test each other in the middle of the set.

@Victor Cavalcante i watch them all the time. The shend is also part of a BR discord for some reason.

[@dunk1443]

YSB probably bought a nice home and started a nice family in that corner

[@takfriel7811]

XDDDDDD

[@treacherousjslither6920]

I've never seen YSB handled ike that before. Genki is godlike!

[@bawower8905]

What a find interesting is that Genki can pretty much have a use for every normals that Alex has to offer. The huge pushback of S HK really helped him to keep Hugo in the corner.

[@Silks]

What a great set between these two

[@RKNELIAS]

YSB couldn´t escape.

[@davetorres3906]

Genki was just too ready for it

[@NESTEAftw]

[@ShanyGolan]

Genki the Destroyer!

[@thedoctah1428]

Alex vs Hugo, pure King shit.

[@Tewfurt]

9:53 lmao that anti air

[@inuyashaspet]

None of YSB's tricks seemed to really be enough to stand against genki..

[@gerardust]

Better call Hayao

[@xCrazyShitx]

Genki was in the zone.

[@miguelangel-sq1lk]

I think Hayao would be a better rival for Genki than YSB.

[@MrPottsTeaching]

Hugo vs Alex is like Ken vs Ryu All his hard moves are quicker

[@michaelsong5555]

Storywise, does Alex and Hugo have a problem with each other?

[@possibly8180]
