[@SWong37]

PR Rog's execution is out of control here. I don't think people give him credit because they're maybe not as flashy, but he's doing like 5-6 one frame links here that are harder than most of the combos daigo does and on par or exceeding Sako combos.

[@ivanaki3336]

***** Mine too. No disrespect to Strider he is a great player too.

[@bofaybaykweh]

ivanaki 33 i think if strider didn't have a coach i think rog would've won

[@just_relaaax6683]

Lol yeah man. His combo game is bananas.

[@iiXxROBERTxXii]

***** hell yeah plus he still has to charge while he is doing all the cancels mad crazy

[@kupidzheart]

***** absolute truth

[@Bupernox]

5:20 That read by Strider was just... I'm with James Chen on that one; no words.

[@KTSamurai1]

James Chen: "Could this kill?!" Everyone Else: "No, James. Calm down."

[@ksfallenangel5770]

2:11 I love this moment. balrog gets to throw those turn-around punches with impunity that its a shock when somebody challenges it and smacks him out of it. even the announcer and the crowd went "whoa".

[@Hikusaak4]

Ban coaching.

[@2KRICHKID]

That combo by rog was just sick

[@housemar28]

3:54-4:06 was one of the realest combos I've seen

[@broogul7335]

4:08 even 801Strider is impressed lmao

[@Spawn223311]

Pr balrog and 801strider are one of my favorite players, but in my opinion coaching shouldnt be done "in-game". Im ok if its done outside of the match. Fighting games are all about mind against mind and how you handle your opponents abilities, so you shouldnt get help in my book. Also, everyone must be on equal terms; everyone has a coach or nobody has a coach. The no coach option is more legit in my eyes.

[@ivanaki3336]

Spawn223311 Agreed dude.

[@bofaybaykweh]

ivanaki 33 very much so, that is cheap as fuck imo

[@BankAlexander]

Spawn223311 never thought of it in this way and I agree man! good call

[@yubbone]

Spawn223311 A good point, it's much harder to fight 2 brains as opposed to 1.

[@cassioazevedo1482]

Spawn223311 lol. You say coaching like some professional shit was going on...but hey, man, it's just your buddy telling you a tip. This is a fighting game, not chess.

[@SkepticGamer]

Coaches should have no part in this. It's 1 on 1. Man against man. Nobody else. If you cannot figure out a way to win alone, you don't deserve the win.

[@abcdefghilihgfedcba]

Skeptic Gamer Exactly. I hate coaching.

[@SkyangelPR]

But you are my coach lol

[@DeathByForklift]

Skeptic Gamer Except that most other professional sport have coaches???

[@abcdefghilihgfedcba]

DeathByForklift Yes, but they’re standardized. In the FGC, coaching is a complete mess, most people have nobody, some have one, others have many all at once. FGC is not sports and never will be, so just because sports have coaching it doesn’t mean the FGC should too. If it were standardized the same way as it is in sports (everyone gets 1 coach, no more, no less for anybody) then it could be OK, but that is never going to happen, so banning coaching entirely is the fairest option.

[@DeathByForklift]

ALAKTORN >FGC is not sports and never will be Ya dun goofed.

[@Remyx]

4:08 Strider be like: "Damn."

[@AzaratheFlea]

Strider's read at 5:22 was absolutely fucking insane

[@murphboys]

The offense from both players is ridiculous this match. High level combos and option selects and deadly neutral games

[@kombatjenning]

That read though!! 5:19

[@FakeKraid]

Strider did a really good job here, but I agree with Edwardo that it was kinda bullshit that Strider had a buddy right there, saying stuff constantly. For one, it's not fair because Edwardo had no coach, watching for stuff for him or giving him any ideas. But secondly, Edwardo totally got distracted by what Strider's coach said before the final wake up and that altered what Edwardo did. I mean, if you are going to get distracted by people saying things, then wear headphones like some pros do, but I dunno, it seems really cheap to have to deal with some guy's friend shouting stuff out during the match, even if they are not intending to distract you. Save coaching for in between rounds/games, don't sit there constantly talking and pointing stuff out. Who am I playing against here, a person or a village?

[@PaulusCunctator]

James Edward Smith If an argument relies on not being distracted by people talking, you shouldn't be in a professional audience sport. If you're surrounded by people screaming and you can't keep your cool, sucks to be you. Especially when noise canceling headphones exist. As long as only one player is playing, everything else is secondary. If you feel like you'd do better with a coach, get a coach, it's literally what every sport does.

[@FakeKraid]

"If an argument relies on not being distracted by people talking, you shouldn't be in a professional audience sport." Huh?

[@lordbaba9649]

So what would u say if Strider lost? nothing! bet you wouldn't even comment

[@PaulusCunctator]

James Edward Smith If you tend to lose because you got distracted by the audience, don't be in a sport that involves an audience being present.

[@ryler7]

My village challenges you...

[@welbenn]

Im curious to know about what PR said to Gustavo's friend in the end.

[@ddespair]

He said he heard his friend (el fuerte player iPeru) say ex tornado. He was salty that he took that advice but Strider blocked instead. Strider apparently laughed it off and iPeru was visibly annoyed that he was eavesdropping. Either way it was just typical pr rog and his excuses.

[@scottyourback]

@@ddespair El Fuerte is my main. No one plays him like Pepeday though.

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

​@@ddespairHow do you know this?

[@Guts1022]

what did pr balrog say at the end to that other guy?

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

I remember something about him telling Strider that he heard iPeru say something, so PR Rog chose to counter what he heard. Strider ends up doing something different. PR Rog loses because of it.

[@HilariousHarvie]

I understand the "need" for Coaches, it creates scenarios/exploits that wouldn't necessarily be seen but IMO I think if one player doesn't have a coach then other player doesn't get one. SIMPLES. It solves every argument.

[@Flaxon-Waxon]

Hilarious Harvie It really doesnt!

[@HilariousHarvie]

I guess I'll agree to disagree. Great tournament either way.

[@Flaxon-Waxon]

Hilarious Harvie Honestly, I thought this was better than southeast majors.

[@HilariousHarvie]

The problem I had with Seam was that alot of the players had already qualified. So like when Diago played Tokido, Diago just didn't seem keen. I'm not saying Tokido was given the win but I'm sure it would of been different if Diago hadn't qualified yet.

[@Flaxon-Waxon]

Hilarious Harvie DUDE! diago just beat him in some tournament playing regular ryu. So it was super fishy for him to pick e ryu. Well we will see the real deal at EVO for sure.

[@marioreyesj.926]

Dream Players with Abel and Balrog: ''801 Strider'' and ''EG PR Balrog''. My God.

[@sack943]

That was a sick match slugfest from both players

[@fernandocarpenter1992]

my 2 favorites(^0^)/ya! (1) 801 strider (2) pr ballrog

[@GalvatronTypeR]

Current U.S. top 5 in order: Snack Eyez Snug Nucklefu PR Balrog Dieminion

[@antoucool]

GalvatronTypeR Lol plz, where's Jwong

[@TheBjscool]

antoucool Jwong ain't better than those 5

[@panamasyndicate]

TheBjscool your crazy You seen Justin recently, especially at E3 won the whole thing flawlessly even beat the guy who help make the game. He the New G.O.A.T & I love Snake I just think he'll lose even though Snake has beat him before. It just, Justin Bison is just Fucking Mean....

[@TheBjscool]

Dom D that was Street Fighter V not USF4... You can't say he's the best at a game that's not even out yet without all the characters. Plus, you think that tournament was serious? rofl

[@panamasyndicate]

TheBjscool really not taken seriously the winner got 3000$ dollar bro proofs on the site. So if your too good for 3000$ bro than you can continue rolling on the floor all you want , but I highly doubt it , plus I've seen rich give threats for less & they have the same control scheme why you think most the pro there were playing so Damm well, cause they got it like that No my friend. Different look same game.

[@khoa1708]

we need abel back in sfv

[@dravenvigil4790]

No

[@DrunkensVision]

We don't need sfv, we need Abel back in SFVI

[@BikerLobster]

Tyson vs Fedor

[@amphitheatre]

what were they exchanging words over at the end? rog was allowed a coach too right?

[@D1eSegel]

I don't think that there may sit a third person in the ring. In my opinion thats not right!

[@bedwallaby]

Agreed.

[@ScreenShot1311]

what did Eduardo ask at the end?

[@yuyuedea]

who is best abel , strider or keoma ?

[@luistakumi]

Strider

[@x-Abraham-x2]

@@luistakumi definitely

[@Lamesauce85]

If you aren't mentally strong enough to see what's in front of you and adapt accordingly, then you shouldn't be playing at that level. I can tell PR was pissed at that backseat driver wanna be. Coaching should only be allowed in team competitions, one on one tournaments should be just that.

[@fernando123330]

Why are people butt hurt about coaching players have been doing that shit for a hood while now

[@12171010011010]

5:14 the prediction is just insane. Too many people salty about coaching to respect it.

[@magnumballistics]

that was an option select not a prediction

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

@@magnumballistics What OS was it?

[@HokKan]

@@Y20XTongvaLand it's not an OS lol don't listen to him

[@Y20XTongvaLand]

@@HokKan Okay.

[@YouGotNoHips]

Coaching is in every sport, quit being so salty about it.

[@YouGotNoHips]

Ummm sorry to burst your bubble but gaming is a sport. Quit making a big deal out of it.

[@KLovesWafflo]

TheChunlilover Every player is allowed a coach if they so choose, so really, it's Mago's/Kazunoko's fault for not taking advantage of it. Then again, Kazunoko actually had Fuudo coaching him in Grand Finals, so this entire thing is made doubly nil.

[@bellebuster5057]

TheChunlilover Are "you" slow? Facts outweigh opinions, and sometimes idiocy. esports.inquirer.net/home/4377/esports-now-recognized-as-2nd-level-olympic-sport/

[@Zenfluence81]

Clever Cheshire yeah i guess if chess is considered an Olympic sport than pretty much anything mentally competitive can be. Certainly not not an Athletic sport that's for damn sure lol...

[@ivanaki3336]

The coach is not playing in the field with the athletes. No coach should be allowed during matches, period.

[@mo_musashi_284]

Was PR talking shit about Strider being coached in the end?

[@JA2NJ]

MoFo_EX28 aka na said something about avoiding abels command grab via twitter

[@carlospineda1938]

Eduardo is like one of the nicest guys ever to be in the scene

[@uua929]

El que está aún lado de Gustavo,es su instructor.. y porque no jugá el en vez de estarle diciendo... Haber haber...😝😝😝

[@elvis_chen]

Great match!

[@lmoral222]

James Chen is the hero we do not deserve

[@dgw4049]

4:09... Gustavo is like... "ok... I got my ass beat."

[@ozzo870]

Imagine a world where boxing coaches aren't allowed in the ring to tell the boxer how to fight his opponent. Like rog can have a coach if he wants I mean he's friends with literally all the EG boys.

[@ivanaki3336]

The coach is not inside the ring, and you don't see someone screaming into your ear in a chess or pocket game

[@sammyphen1046]

looks like PR Rog said hey can i get between round tutorials? So glad they got rid of that. Not that Strider is bad, he can do great on his own.

[@fatprowar]

i love this game,other fire ball game is boring

[@fl4shb4ck7]

Abel looks like copy of Goro of KOF.

[@AlphaZeroX96]

Wait, if this is street fighter 4, then why put U before S?

[@bedwallaby]

?

[@AlphaZeroX96]

The title says, "USFIV" at the beginning. Unless that's supposed to mean Ultra Street Fighter 4.

[@TheTweakerTechnique]

+Nightcaster460 "USFIV" actually stands for "Omega Ultra Super Turbo Street Fighter FOUR."

[@AlphaZeroX96]

Jesus Christ Uuuh there's no O in the thing. XD

[@messisslaves]

Awsome match

[@jafal709]

Awesome ^^

[@Danav789]

So now people feeling coaching is wrong & when they coach against japanese & korean players? Same pr rog had his whole eg squad sitting with him when he was fighting infiltration at ncr 2014 grand finals then it was no prob. No one said a word when iperu was coaching strider for kazunoko & Fourwude coaching smug but still can`t win LMAO

[@livingmaulana]

Rahul S The main issue of coaching here is that iPeru talks in the middle of a match

[@Danav789]

USE TURTLE BEACH HEADPHONES

[@SmoothJK]

+Rahul S Not everyone wants to wear headphones for a match. It's not how they practice, so I can understand why people wouldn't want to.

[@neon-izeneo7000]

What does FACD mean?

[@SmoothJK]

+Neon-ize Neo FADC = focus attack dash cancel (hold focus attack then dash to cancel out of it)

[@metalheadjakob]

i for one don`t think poorly of strider for bringing choaching pr could have done the sa me thing

[@assmister]

Too much salt from the rog player, 8.2/10 - IGN

He said he heard the coach say ex command grab so he panicked and ex headbutted. No saltiness there.
