[@Gagneto]

even joshman at the end is in disbelief "who the fuck throws that out like that?" lmao

[@wolizuka]

Nah he's in disbelief cause he tried to dash back and got a turn around animation which locked him in place instead, it's clearly visible. He even looked at his controller first thing after getting hit. He would have dash dance punished it otherwise

[@samskott2344]

​@@wolizukayeah, you can tell he was not happy about that and I can't blame him. He had the momentum and looked poised to win that game up until that point.

THE FACT THAT HE LANDED GIANT PUNCH IN NEUTRAL TWICE IN THE SAME SET

[@wrath5332]

The reason Joshman looked down at his controller I think is because of the transformation messing up his dash dance in that moment. Happened to him a stock or two prior. Can't remember if it mattered then. Definitely mattered right there at the end. June is still insane though.

[@ammonstyles5224]

yeah stadium transformations are atrocious. gotta be super careful when they're happening, especially if your pulling some tight movement in front of a charge punch monkey 🤣

[@monstermash1571]

8:56 that platform screwed Joshman up. Him, dropping down, briefly threw off his timing to avoid the Donkey Punch. That's the difference between the kids who didn't grow up with transformations on.

[@hahnyboy8640]

don't think Junebug has ever played better. Insane Set

[@Chl0ris]

Absolutely brutal but someone on twitch mentioned that Josh was dash dancing waiting to run in for the grab and the platform rising stopped his dash which made him just stand like an NPC for June's punch. Part of why he looks so shocked

[@noisew4ll]

i'm so confused at the commentator. he has two modes, normal, and screaming while being strangled. i wonder if he has a throat problem, or asthma or something?

[@sam-yau]

Curious why Josh didn't go Sheik, it's arguably one of DK's worst high tier matchups and, to my knowledge, Josh has a fairly decent Sheik secondary

[@rachelivy9712]

They probably haven't met in bracket before, or he hadn't lost to him yet and didn't know he needed it. June probably hasn't beaten a fox of that caliber before

[@Lep_19]

Also it's maybe worth saying that matchup numbers aren't usually all they're cracked up to be. June and Rishi have talked about this a bunch but people tend to blow the importance of matchups out of proportion in most cases. For Joshman my understanding is his fox is actually really experienced against DK, and June himself considered this a major upset. Switching to Sheik would've just forced Joshman into a less familiar matchup without doing the same to June. And, of course, one of DK's strengths is his insane scrap ability and overall consistency in punish across matchups. I think the fox made plenty of sense as Joshman's more experienced and intuitive character.

[@fdajax5107]

The 9 swing charge up is insane

it looks like the stadium transformation tripped up Josh's dash dance (he slips off a platform mid-dash), and he somehow missed the dashback input and went into a stand.
