People don’t realize how big this is for us Dominicans, in a country where there’s one of the smallest gamer communities in the world. Where most people believe that if you play video games you are just wasting your time, here comes Mena RD making history in one of the biggest tournaments in gaming history.
Congrats!
JESUS IS GOOD
💯🙏
Congrats man, anything is possible! ✊🏾
China as well as Singapore have small SF base too, which only 1 representative in the entire tourney LOL
i with you bro. im dominican too. grow up in new york. soy de santo domingo. yea man como dice el lapiz. vivomos en un pais con sistema cavernario
Y me fui con lo bachatero!
Insane run by Zhen and Mena's reactions/reads were otherworldly
Mark my words, this is the beginning of Zhen's villain arc. Dude placed 2nd. At his first Capcom Cup appearance on top of fighting out of LCQ. Unreal. I have a feeling he will reappear in SF6. He is a character specialist incredible reads and gameplay.
Ayo I agree with yo ass ma dawg
A pretty boring end to a bad game
Unfortunatelly everything change from one game to another and some players never adapt a new system, I dont see him as a god in a future SF6 may his awaken in SFV was too late.
@@last7509 If this top 16 (and grand finals specifically) is your idea of a boring finale, then I have a hard time imagining one that meets your standards hahaha
@@last7509 Oh yeah people in the audinence celebrating Mena's tournament win and the announcement of Capcom cup X $1000000.00 prize pool is REALLY boring. Dude get help!
So much respect for Mena, not only for his amazing performance at Capcom Cup, but humbleness and intellect to encourage all the players out there to work hard and keep grinding. Amazing guy.
This was such a hype set. Mena really showed how on top of the game he was and played super consistently, even in Grand Finals he was in his opponents head.
A wack tournament
@@last7509so many good sets why do you say that?
@@justaliljello5198 Cause he likes to reply hate on that. He's really salty.
@@last7509 gonna cry? Lol
Yeah, I play with m .bison
Can the haters now give it a rest? Yes, MenaRD has been not very consistent in his tournament victories but there is no denial he is very skilled and one of the best players this gen. He will go down in history among the big names of the SFV era.
He won where it mattered the most and thats capcom cup
I'm a Menard fan since his main was Birdie. Finally a great title. Great guy, great player.
This was the second time he won Capcom cup. Only player to do it twice in history.
I've been a mana not fan since the birdie times. A I promise you he won't be even relevant in the next game.
@@last7509 lol people said he wouldn't be relevant after his first Capcom cup win and see where he is now. Stop doubting the boy.
@@MustachioedBear He always does this, mans a hater.
@@last7509 its okey, in DR will have the next monster cooked for SF6, mark my words, adaptability is our greatest strength
This was an incredible tournament overall. I'm looking forward to seeing Zhen and Endingwalker compete again. They both made a hell of a splash for their first big tourney.
Vomiting
@@Darkness-ie2yl You're cleaning that up.
¡Lo hizo otra vez! ¡Bravo, MenaRD! Poniendo nuestra patria en alto. 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 Aunque tengo bastante años que me retiré de jugar videojuegos, siempre sigo estas competencias. Buen torneo, buenos jugadores, lo mejor de mejor. 👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽✅
A nivel competitivo es entendible retirarse. Pero me muero antes de dejar de jugar :v
Normally I love long sets that go to the last round.....but this one I love that ended in the way it did....with MenaRD that guy many says was a FLUKE when he won Capcom Cup 2016 DOMINATING someone as good as Zhen who in his way to the grand finals took down so many killers (just like Mena did in 2016)....Momochi, Gachikun, Idom, Problem X, Angry Bird, so many names and incredible talented killers this kid stop and sent out packing home, until he run into Mena, that in this tournament have this FINAL BOSS aura around him, now a VETERAN himself, no longer a rookie, shows his composure and experience and stop dead in his tracks the rampage of Zhen and Endling Walker, and become in the process the only person winning 2 times Capcom Cup, this kind of stories to me are what makes the FGC so fun, Mena speech was also very mature and moving, remind me of Tokido in EVO 2016, overall, you like to see this, great work Mena you make Republica Dominicana orgullosa, PLATANO POWER carajo.
Admit how pathetic this whole thing was
@@verycool2050 Admit nothing, your just bitter that no one of American players let alone not playing Luke won. haters gotta hate
@@akilcharles3473Mena played Luke most of the tournament tbf. I also think they're upset about the Japanese players doing bad then anything g
@@verycool2050 Gonna cry ? Lol
@@verycool2050 U Mad m8?
This will go down as a very memorable moment in SF history
Felicidades MenaRD👏, te felicita gran parte de la comunidad gamer de RD🇩🇴, ProGamerLatino!! 💪🎲💪
Respect to Mena... congrats to him and DR from Mexico
Thanks bro.
Muy bien MenaRD , haciendo algo histórico triunfando en tremendo torneo con los mejores del mundo...
Y siendo latino, tienes un gran merito y un orgullo para tu pais y comunidad.
Sabe alguien decirme de cuánto era el premio del torneo lo sigo desde hace años desde su primera victoria es duro el loco
@@sandorcleganeelperroclegan4675 la primera vez se llevó 200 mil dólares.
@@sandorcleganeelperroclegan4675 120 mil dolares :v son casi 7 millones de pesos dominicanos ( no es DEMASIADO) pero si sabes invertir a la larga te pueden generar buenos dividendos ) ademas de que es la segunda vez que gana este torneo .
Aunque de eso hay que sacarle los impuestos que cobraran :v el gobierno
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 2 time capcom cup winner from the hood! good luck in sf6!
That dude just scored 2 Capcom cup !!!!! THAT'S INSANE¡¡¡
Yo no me canso de Ver estos Dos Ultimos Episodios del Grand MenaRD
Bautizo a MenaRD con su nuevo nombre de campeón por como ejecuta su jugadas siempre en el último instante, te apodo como el Dominican Fénix, resucitando de las cenizas 💪🏾🇩🇴🙏🏾
Mena surprised EndingWalker with his Birdie, never thought he'd come back to his old main. Versus Zhen, everything just works for him.. the crouch fierce on Ex Stomps, V-shifts on command grab, and some counter raw CA. Their are so many time where he could lose to Zhen but Mena did it.
He saw NL getting flickered to death and knew Birdie outranged Ed.
Still hype af to see him pick his old main, it just wasn't as out there a choice as some people think.
Mena picked Luke. That's all
@@verycool2050Erh, did we watch the same match? Mena used Birdie exclusively against EnderWalker.
No salute
@@Darkness-ie2yl Of course no salute, you don't respect other nationalities shut up.
MenaRD is the best in the world, he is incredible in every detail. Brazil is rooting for you Mena, our eternal champion.
Es increíble que con tantas adversidades de nosotros los dominicanos brillamos a nivel internacional cuando se quiere se puede felicidades MenaRd eres grande
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴palante siempre!!
Creo que el chico vive en USA :v
@@aaa-bm1fv Ese muchacho vive aqui, y cuando gano por primera vez tuvo que luchar mucho para llegar alla, pues no se tenia los fondos para costear su viaje.
@@hectorc4997 Me disculpo, no sabia.
Waoooo que orgullo otra vez demostrando que si sé puede 💪❤️❤️❤️🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Otro de nuestros orgullos Dominicano muchas felicidades
Cali Colombia también con Menard, que señor jugador!
Terrible
Such a great grand final to watch and Zhen played amazingly. Mena RD with the great speech at the end also... such a lovely sentiment.
Well done to the champ and the Dominican Republic, I can only imagine the celebration they had that night and the one they had when he returned home. So happy for him.
Ggs to both. Zhen’s run was legendary but Mena came out on top. Happy to watch this live. Really really good sets
Well done Mena, you are greatness.
The greatest fake champion of all time
@last7509 Bro you on every comment mad as hell. Pop a xan and chill.
@@last7509lmao, you're so mad
@@last7509 you feeling ok?
@@last7509 Always so damn salty this loser.
Wow bro u the best menaRD gracias por representar la patria 🇩🇴🇩🇴
Arriba Menard! bien merecida esa victoria, saludos a los Dominicanos desde Mexico, bien representados han sido hermanos por este increible jugador!
Gracias :v . Tienen a un crack en Smash bross tambien en mexico tengo entendido
Felicidades Mena, y gracias por poner rd en alto!
Muy duro Menard. 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Great to see the Fighting game community is still strong 💪
Mena RD. 🇩🇴 Arriba República Dominicana. Maravilloso Mena! Maravilloso!
After seeing that very first round, not knowing about the previous loss that zhen had. Menard had him on the ropes frozen. I was like yeah this dude is gonna take it and he did. I honestly didn’t think he’d ever win a major again but boy was I wrong.
What I love to see in the FGC is the many different nationalities just like an actual fighting game. We got the most diversity since day 1.
And this is important why?
That Reaction time tho 10:50 😮
Brutal KO
Mena played out of his damn mind this whole tournament... Both he and Zhen was in a flow state
Congrats Mena on being the double Capcom Cup champion! Also the final big tournament for SFV!
Mena totally figured out how to deal with Zhen's pressure tactic with ca cuz most of it are just +1 +2
De República Dominicana para el mundo🎉 🇩🇴
Now that Mena has won 2 Capcom Cups Im going to wonder if people will still call it luck.
I can't wait for SF6, this was hype, but god SF6 looks like it will actually be enjoyable to watch consistently! That prize pool for Capcom Cup for SF6 is insane!
Are you serious? SF6 looks slow and boring compared to SFV
@@majicogarcia8417 I don’t know about boring but… I’m definitely a skeptic. Two mechanics really stand out to me as a bad idea but, gotta wait and see.
@user-WY1ET9DK9W What was this mechanic? What did you think comparing it to v?
Mena is beast and will always be remember for winning the last Street Fighter V Capcom cup.
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 Muy duro Mena RD Que Orgullo!!!
Bison kept going for the same follow up moves even I read his arse, so Mena punished where he could. A mix of nerves and resorting to old habits, but at least he can say he got second plus some cash. Finally some amazing matches from SFV-its been a while for me
I'll admit, I simply fell in love with Zhen and Endingwalker in this tournament and I just wanted one of them to win. I have to give props to MenaRD, and I don't know enough about SF5 to know if the luke pick was an absolutely necessary counterpick, but after the majority of that capcom cup's matches, the luke pick certainly just made it feel like a disappointing safely played end to an INSANE top 8. I just really wanted to see Zhen's absolutely insane Bison mastery overcome such a good player using the same big stinky meta character everyone else dominated with. Like you'd think he faced enough lukes to overcome that, but oh well, I think we will see a vengeful return for SF6.
This tournament overall told me that MenaRD is PROBABLY the best at SF5, but DEFINITELY Luke is the best character.
The only thing that sucks about this GF is that Mena used Luke. That character is so out-of-place in SFV; would've been cooler to see Birdie or Sakura. But I think both of them prob have bad MUs against Bison so I understand the choice otherwise.
At points it looked like Zhen figured things out vs. last time they fought, but Mena was quick to adapt and surprise Zhen more than a few times. Very well-played GF by the best Luke & best Bison, and congrats to Mena for the big W!
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
That's how competitive in any game goes, you just gotta use characters/strategies/decks(for tcgs) that will give you the best chance of winning.
He did use Birdie against EnderWalker. Either Ed is a legit counter to Puke or something in the way EnderWalker plays the match up made Mena switch characters.
It would've been nice if zhen had an alternate character with faster buttons and walk speed. The main weapon he had was that bisons HP had good range. The problem is he went against a character with practically all normals having good range.
@@bernardjameswilsonZhen should have had a pocket SFVCE dhalsim in my honest opinion.
Zhen's run was insanely impressive I was hoping idom would make it but zhen winning the LCQ and coming 2nd in the big tournament is crazy
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😃 ¡Muchas Felicidades, Mena 🇩🇴!
Congratulations Mena! 🏆
MenaRD fought hard to the end blood,sweat, and finally tears of joy...He Earned it!
I wanted Zhen to win, but you couldn't have asked for a more symbolic victory.
So true. A horrible boring end to the worst game in the franchise.
@@last7509 lmao said like a true cock sucker, dominican republic all day everyday. tired of these racist haters
@@last7509 Ignore this fool. Mena pull a hell of a fight.
@@akilcharles3473 agreed.
Absolute garbage. They made this terrible format for the final tournament so that 10-15 of the best players didn't even go.
Demasiado duro coño RESPETEN DR🇩🇴
ZHEN凄かったよ
LCQからの勝ち上がりでGFまで上り詰めたのは、SF5ラストに相応しいサプライズだった
Indeed he was. He's a great player for sure.
Looks like Mena is gonna make another gaming cafe for his homies in the DR.
I’m just shocked that this is the grand finals for the final Capcom Cup for SFV
Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 present
Orgullo 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
felicidades a nuestro campeon mena RD 🇩🇴🇩🇴
What a game of Menard
It was great and really enjoyed the game of Menard Keep it up dear 😉👌
Hasta en videojuegos somos la para🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🖐️
Enhorabuena Mena! 🇩🇴❤️
Mena is too good. He exploited the best character in the game unlike anyone else, and got into the opponent's head every single time. I saw people calling out him for mashing but this isn't some gold lobby; he knew EXACTLY when to reversal based on zhen's desperation to be on the offensive. His CA after bison's axe, which was a shallow hit that both players knew couldn't combo in, was such a great call and THE most decisive moment since Zhen would have gone 2-1
Kudos to the guy. I loved that he said he grew to love and care for the FGC. Zhen too is a beast of a player
I agree. He’s one step ahead of Zhen even though Zhen easily downloaded all his opponents so far in the tournament.
Stop joking
@@robertoleabres Zhen didnt do enough research on Mena, he studied hard for Idom
I see quite some new things in Mena's Luke, congrats! And Zhen seems a little bit not sure what to do in this match. I think it's first Luke is new char and it's higher tier than Dict.
120K ooo, buddy. THERE WE GO!
Vamos alla arriba RD🇩🇴🇩🇴 felicidades great player
Congrats to the winner and glad Luke fighter V is finally over and we can move on to 6.
Huge respect to everyone in FGC.
The most methodical Bison play I have ever seen and Mena was still not to be denied. I think criticism of him playing Luke is silly. We watched every other Luke fall, including people who Mained Luke longer than Mena. Mena plays every character with enough skill to be in top 8 in any given tourney. His skill won this and not the character. Any other Luke would have been washed by Zhen''s play.
100%
+1
100%
100
este men me representa mucho bendiciones
The Dominican Republic's success with SF mirrors Pakistan's success with Tekken. Weird how both communities have reacted differently to "unknown" nation's success. Both had bit of drama with Caba's antics at tournaments and Ash's on Twitter but I've found SF more welcoming than Tekken's.
Mena must be using a hit box 📦 his execution is on another level right now
No, he still uses a pad.
Boring
Ver esto de una isla tan pequeña como republica dominicana haciendo historia en el mundo gamer es de admirar
I'm not surprised at all to see Luke win and even less with those unimpressive plays by Mena, he played like someone who needed to KO to go up from Platinum gold level cups.
He beat this kid zhen twice, the exact same way. Hell, he beat everyone like this. Now you’re just disrespecting the pros saying they lost to a guy playing like a plat?
Cry more.
That Union Train Station theme is insanely good
12:45 épico 🇩🇴🔥
Una vistoria bien merecida. Le ha ganado a dos grandes. La primera vez le ganó a TOKIDO, un rival duro pero que al final tambien sucumbió ante la determinación de menaRD. Genial!
Congratulations 👏🏾🏆🙏🏾💯
Menard is the street fighter 5 main character, he has come so far
Hours of training and pizza with soda finally paid off. He also acquired super saiyan chubby 5 too, congrats!
I stopped playing SFV around the time right before Luke came out. Didn’t know Luke was this good in the game. His pressure is insane.
ufff mena . orgullo de nuestra república dominicana uff ❤❤❤❤
Congrats to BLG/ZHEN for making it to the finals with one of my favorite SFV characters to play with and watch.
Zhen is a phenomenal player! We need players like him.
Somos duros en todo 💪🏾🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Excellent. Well played Mena.
felicitaciones ,la presentadora muy bella
He is great player, Still remember this guy beat my idol Tokido years ago…
Arriba RD papá, bien ganado.
Hay papá 😤💪🇩🇴🇩🇴
Vámonos dominicanaaaa
I think it is necessary to main more than one character in SF5. Menard did well because he mainining several characters and counterpick opponent.
Character loyalty is bogus
@@chc2650it definitely isn’t but people do definitely give it way too much value
@user-WY1ET9DK9W Which are the best Street Fighter V characters for you?
Mena played so wild here man lol. Solid un neutral but just wild on defense.
Mena and Smug are my favourite SF players
Zhen got rhe 1st place, once playing against Luke we don't have a fair fight. Luke players are not having fun but play for the prize. It's a shame!!!
Excuses LOL
Are they playing on ps5?
I presumed he was gonna use Birdie, but yea against M. Bison, thats a good choice. gotta use V shift more often myself
congrats MenaRD.🤝 Birdie main here. 😎
orgullo Dominicano
The cheat box gave up on him at the end🤣🤣🤣
Felicidades mi Patriota. En hora buena.
