Ive never played fighting games before but picked up SF6 and then watched Evo and this tournament, what a treat to watch
Welcome to the FGC. Be patient don't be too hard on yourself and don't get too salty if you lose. You're going to do great!
Play me I'm gold. Me and my friend are gonna grind till we're master 👊
@@no_nameyouknow Thanks man, its been super hard but fun, I prolly lost my first 15-20 online matches in a row but Ive kept at it
@@markmessi9020 Lol Im not gold yet
Welcome.
You should've commentated in this event. You deserve it and you have the talent, Jiyuna.
It's rough out there. So many commentators and so little spots.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATIHow do i contact you! They had trouble picking this year. Next year might be your lucky one
Seems like the 4 best players in the world are Kakeru, Angry Bird, Mena and Punk. All from different regions and play different characters. They can all beat each other and clear the rest of the field handily (with some exceptions like Tokido and Big Bird). Great time for regional rivalries.
Kakeru was entering the matrix the way he got those perfect parries. This is also a nice runback after EVO winners semifinals Kakeru vs. Angry Bird.
Commenting on every video before Arakune BBCF combo trials, video 54. This set was so hype to watch.
Bro you can tell how Kakeru was making up new stuff in the go just to adapt to that OFFENSE. Epic match.
You should do a video on Nemo's breaking down the tech to the parry system! Kakeru had so many perfect parries that it basically saved him in this match.
This was a great match, Jiyunas commentary just adds to it
A lot of people call for JP nerfs, and I knew he would win a major tournament quickly, but I just think his projectiles need color differences to make it clearer for reaction.
A lot of moves in this game are meant to be countered by perfect parry. I'm sure there will definitely be more matches like this at a high level in the future.
It's so HARD though lol
Staffing this was a BLAST! Kakeru is such a character on AND offstage. Love to see the community I interact daily with this close. I love this fucking game man. THIS. SET. ROCKS! PS. cointoss guy rocks irl and he earns pretty good
WHY WASN'T I INVITED
I remember how people were doubting this tournament especially the prize pool…
Someone counted and Kakeru did 32 perfect parries in this set. It's time to stop downplaying perfect parries just because of the damage scaling. When JP perfect parries you, that's not just your turn stolen, that's your ass getting sent to the opposite side of the screen or the corner. The level of corner carry and pressure in SF6 makes perfect parries terrifying.
You're right. Those perfect parties were deconstructing Angry Bird's offense. It literally bullied Ken into coming up with a different strategy..
If anything, the scaling seems justified.
that's your ass getting sent to the shadow realm *
Its fair tho. Coz its 2 frame window execution, its not anywhere easy to do, takes skill. Its way harder than parry in 3rd strike. Thats why barely anyone doing it until now. Kakeru def cracked on this match.
No one downplays it, it's just so hard to do. I wonder if he could do it again; seems like he was just in the zone during that set.
Google translate of what the other guy said: "Put Makoto in the game Capcom you cowards"
Kakeru activate the Daigo parry mode, parrying all Ken offensive attacks to close the dealt.
Man's been training against Ken all these past comps lol
This is insane, such an extreme level of focus and reflexes. It was as if kakeru was using a time machine for those perfect parries.
I wonder what more surprises are there in SF6 . This game is really best fighting game.
Each match for every tournament in this year's Evo world championships was worth the watch.
Angry Bird has been unstoppable recently but Kakeru was a damned monster in this final.
Yeah, and I feel like if they played again today it could go either way. Level of play is so close.
A Japanese player won a tournament; the earth is healing.
The rest got smoked though.
Kakeru levelled up during the top 8. True protagonist power.
Crazy turn around. The commentators wrote him off as soon as he lost in Winner's.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATII think we all did lol close match against AngryBird at EVO, then bodied by him in winners side at this event. Lost first 2 to Punk. Lost 1st round to AngryBird again. And then idk, I've only seen Goichi go Ultra Instinct like this before. I just wish maybe Kakeru didn't go UI in front of the Birds home scene and did it at CPT 😅
i'd die of a heart attack playing for these sheer amounts of cash
This was a pretty fun top 8 for SF6. All the players did pretty well. Was stoked to see Kakeru take down Mena and Punk consecutively super impressive. Was happy for both Kakeru and Angry Bird, both seem like pretty classy dudes.
Kakeru won like 20 SF6 Evos just by winning this event or 70 of Xian's Evo win. Crazy to think about
Best SF6 set I’ve ever seen. So crazy.
surprised instead of a coin toss they didnt do dice to cash out on all these cubes
Daigo said AngryBird is his idol, so immediately I root for him.
ight what’s up journalism so real quick
You have to love the training stage 😮🎉
this is actually not clickbait. It's technically the biggest in terms of prize
Why did they hired evil Jiyuna for the JP translation when the could hire good Jiyuna?
I give Evil Jiyuna props, he is a very talented translator.
Good stuff. Would still love to know if/where this was streamed.
Gamers8
How do you evaluate the effectiveness of one character's drive rush versus another? In multiple ranking videos I've seen drive rush mentioned as one of the few weak points of Ken but it seems you value it highly
lol, WHO said his Drive Rush is bad?
Word on the street suzuki san at ibushigin's parent company took at least 50% of the prize money. Bastard.
😳
This tournament was absolutely insane. I really thought my boy Punk was going in, but the adaptations from Kakeru in this set... At least for now, we're looking at the best SF6 player in the world.
Yeah I can't believe Punk lost after being up 2-0. He looked untouchable.
bit off-topic but did you ever get to the same level of hitbox mastery as stick?
For SF, yes. For Anime games, no.
It's money in the Bank match 400k baby woooo
i saw gamer8 tweet be like 'the end of era'. its only 1 week past evo lmao
Chat saying "I'll convert into islam after winning this" just makes me laugh for some reason.
ANGRY BIRD PLAYIN LIKE A BOT.. HE DID SO MANY REPEATED ACTIONS THAT KAKERU COULD SEE EVERYTHING COMIN!
He played the match up how you’re supposed to. Ken has to force offence vs J.P, the range where J.P can whiff punish with st.hp or interrupt with cr. mp is the range where Ken can dr/ dragon lash from. It’s also important to use dr vs J.P to dissuade them from going for ghosts in neutral. Kakeru adjusted appropriately and showed there’s many more layers to the match up, the only thing Angry bird could have changed is using run stop and od fireball a bit more to interrupt the rhythm on parries from Kakeru.
YET IT WAS BOT PLAY.. IF YOU REPEAT IT OVER AND OVER, THEN IT IS NOT UNIQUE AND DEMANDS NO RESPECT.. AB SHOULDVE HAD AN ALTERNATE PLAN.. I AINT NO DUMMY.. YOU PULL SAME SETUPS ALL DAY, YOU GONNA GET DOWNLOADED.. TO PROVE THIS, KAKERU COMPLETELY CHANGED HIS PLAY STYLE AND OPENED UP A CAN OF WHOOP ASS ON AB NEAR THE LAST ROUNDS.. AB WAS A STOCK PHOTO EVERYBODY HAD SEEN A MILLION TIMES@@redwolfkun
I am surprised Tokido didn't go. He was preparing for a Japanese SF6 event I think. But boy, the winner took $400K, and big prizes for top 8 players. Crazy prize pool at this event.
This really made Evo look like shit. For such a big event with thousands of contestants, and the winner prize was just $20K?
sucks.. lol
You also gotta consider EVO is a whole ass convention with everything else and bunch of games. Gamers8 had 2 fighting games and loooooooots of investment money.
Yalla Lord Jiyuner
Crazy how we're not seeing Jiyuna cast in such big tournaments. You get a caster that can speak with the Japanese players without needing a translator, what's stopping you from hiring this man?
Someone on the production team doesn't like me.
😂when he change his name from Uzarah
Tatakai Tuesday uploads dusted?
Yup! Also I run SF6 there now, not GGST.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI i will cherish what we got. Thank you king
MODERN CONTROL TIER LIST UPDATE PLZ
What's the frame data on Strive I.B. again? So (the real) Sajam actually had a point about that (and wasn't just taking his rage out on his chat LOL). Did Kakeru technically 13-0 Daigo + stole his move?
We need a Rashid Jiyuna mod so Saudi takes notice.
Parry is so fun
So does Mark Cuban
I hope there was good AC...
Where the modern pros at?
were already in bed getting sleep for kindergarten
Haitani was too powerful, so they didn't fly him out
I was right there in the video? How did you miss me?
You would be among the best coin tossman
All I ask is 20k for my trouble.
So much choke from Punk and AngryBird
Fgc esports huge in the gcc also yu gi oh have big reigonals here in gcc and reigon very huge
Fly me out!
Thank God that scrub got destroyed finally. Time to nerf Ken.
YOU are the scrub.
At the global level, the Birds are the best at the game. It’s Mena at 3rd and Kakeru takes 4th for winning at this level of competition. I forget who it was but someone tweeted that Japan doesn’t seem to have weeklys where pros grind but I’m guessing it is because normally those would be hosted at arcades and COVID-19 ruptured an old Japanese culture.
To surprise Daigo, literally the oldest dog learning new tricks, you have to be off of his radar. The Japanese players are basically developing counter tech using high level intl gameplay as the high water mark.
I remember the SFV days when Trashbox was #1 in ranked and there was all this mystery surrounding him. SF6 has already given us fgc fans a 4-D landscape compared to SFVs storylines.
Top 24 at EVO was like 17 Japanese players.
how is kakeru 4th when he just won thr biggest prize pools with the same competition as evo? just because he doesnt join US tournaments?
Kakeru is the best SF6 player, at evo I felt he lost more to himself than his opponents. At this tournament he had much better composure and won. When you watch Kakeru you see someone play sf6. When you watch Punk/ Mena/Angry bird you see people playing sf5 with new mechanics.
Wait didn’t daigo play kakeru on his stream? You makin stuff up? Lol
So as hype as the set was, and I'm even rooting for a JP player of all things, I hope we don't see these dudes fighting every other week. In the same way that there seems to be like 5 daily tournies for like each day of the week, the more I see a certain matchup of players, the less and less I'll care. Like this was pretty huge event don't get me wrong, but still.
CPT is locked to online regionals so I don't think that will happen.
There are only 2 actual CPT offline events left. Everything else is online.
You want to popularize fighting games ... just give bigger prizes. Easy
No lol
Kakeru a monster
Get these green guys out of here
It sounded an awful lot like you were saying that Daigo is an old man playing a young man game.
For some reason, he seems to like sneak dissing Daigo, as if he can't play at a high level anymore. I like Jinyuna, but that ish is offensive as f*ck.
@@limelight58ableduring his commentary for Mena vs daigo he was dick riding daigo hard lmao, y'all gotta chill
If you heard all that when he said "He smoked Daigo 3-0, or I think 3-1 - I forget " then I think you need to change the batteries in your hearing aids.
The comment on the future being an era of JP seems quite straightforwardly to be about Kakeru's JP having picked apart the Ken matchup regardless of who's at the wheel (Daigo, AngryBird, or anyone else)
What are you guys being so insecure about? Even Daigo himself knows he's getting old, there's a reason why he has shifted towards organising events and tournaments more than competing and why he's been training so many new generation pros including Kakeru himself. He has been passing on the torch for the past decade. Jiyuna himself is also known as the biggest Daigo fan, even he understands this.
Daigo needs to pick Guile.
Save the YT
As a casual I have to say I enjoyed EVO finals a lot more even tho this have more money. Just the vibes were a lot more fun in EVO we did not have the grand finals IN THE FUCKING GRID!
Yeah, EVO was a better event thanks to being an open tournament but the money here was HUGE for the FGC.
every other week this old man is telling me hes seen the new best street fighter 6 match.....jiyuna is getting alzheimers......SAD!
I said BIGGEST not best. $400k prize won't be topped until CPT Finals.
For people here in the comments about the difficulty of Perfect Parry in Street Fighter 6, for anyone who's played fighting games for decades and observed Japanese players, I've got some bad news and it starts with....nah not really.
Consistent Teshitsu Dantai(s)...look it up...from Akira players since VF3, 1996. Red Blocking, 3rd Strike. Just Frame moves and/or mechanics, take your pick, Dead or Alive, Soulcalibur, Tekken, Guilty Gear, The King of Fighters.
Street Fighter 6 was elevated by the win from Kakeru at Gamers8. Unlike Evo Vegas, everyone is legit reevaluating themselves and each other in this game. That's what it means to be a game changer.
Just Frame Moves/Difficult Execution is completely different from Perfect Parrying, as you are reacting to your opponent's timing and not just repeating something you've done in Training Mode 10,000 times.
Ken drive rush better be nerfed badly, or everyone should have a drive rush like that.
Gotta wait until next year for the balance patch.
its so lame when they use training stage
Pros always want it.
200k on the line, they don't want any distractions.
How hard was it to do the bare minimum and put the tournaments name in the description smh 🙄
First.....
It’s super disgusting how you guys have all been won over by money and completely forgotten about the human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia and the united Arab emirates
Thank god nothing bad ever happens in America :)
Gamers dont care, we want play games and compete to get money, not doing politics. Unless the country in dangerous state of war, pros will fly there as long there is big money.
It's super funny how you care so much about human rights on the internet that you came to blame the entire general public in a youtube video but do not have balls to go protest
Morals are expensive unfortunately. It's one thing if it was just a regular tournament in ksa, but it's run by the actual government to improve their image. People would have just as much of an issue if it was the American government holding a tournament. Pretty disappointing but also pretty hard to judge them, lots of money involved.
lol. lmao even
Spoiler. This guy's pick definitely didn't pan out. At all.
Life lesson. Don't be against the standard unless you're able to become the standard.
Weirdo.
Not a single female in the audience
Wrong, there were ladies in the crowd and some of them had their kids too.
Stop repeating what Islamophobic Saudi haters say.
There was 1.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI I saw at _least_ 5, one had a kid with her. And I didn't even watch the whole event, I missed many matches.
