Holy fucking shit Punk is so fucking good right now. His defense against Blanka Level 2 was so fucking crazy, im speechless. This is the end of the days where Punk was free food for Blanka.

03:14:00 to echo what they were talking about with holding to meter. It makes more sense to hold meter for characters without reversals like AKI and M. Bison, didnt make any sense for Chris or anyone to hold 3 bars with Akuma or any character with even a third of the options Akuma has.

[@Sunesen]

I've probably become a litle too used to watching the super-pro's playing. It seemed to me like there was a huge amount of dropped combos and weird decisions in the first matches for players that are at Master level.

[@bag2can660]

happens all the time in tournaments. stress is tough.

[@leonardoquintero1009]

It's important to consider the amount of pressure a player can add to another. A player can make it so difficult for their opponent to get a hit in, once the opponent does they might slip. Hit confirming beyond your realms of comfort is very difficult sometimes

[@splinter360]

Mena making full use of those demon flips, air fireball and the teleport. His Akuma is real fun to watch.
