Blanka was overpowered that's the only reason mena one... He couldn't win with luke so reverted always back to a op broken character to win... Even japan's top couldn't escape the throw loops in the corner it was to the point of broken but the patch is coming out now for balancing that will fix the broken mechanics.. so will slip back into nothingness, let's see if he wins anything now.. Guarantee he won't
I don't think people are talking enough about that sequence from 10:10 - 10:30. Look at Punk's health at the start of that play. I've never seen a Blanka reset like that before.
I feel so bad for punk, the amount of times he’s lost to blankas in bracket. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s seeing blanka in his nightmares right about now
I don't think it's the Blank tbh , but just the nerves. I've seen him easily beat Problem x Blanka and Mena's blanka as well, but when he is about to win he chokes. It's a pattern that happens all the time sadly...
@verdadesfatos-vk2kx that’s literally not true lmao. It doesn’t even make sense anyways. He’s maimed Cammy from the beginning and she wasn’t even in the hacked version of the game
How are you going to play any different vs Blanka? Are you going to do something about blocking Blanka level 2 or just die like these guys did? Mental had nothing to do with it.
@@MKP2W In my very humble opinion, cause these guys would smoke me...I think Punk could probably practice the Luke Blanka matchup specifically, cause he looked completely lost at first but started to get something going a little later, but it wasn't enough. I think Nuckledu definitely, definitely could have won a game or two but even Wong was saying that he was playing nervously and you could see it. He played so defensive even when he had opportunities to apply pressure. Meanwhile nothing about Mena's playstyle changed. He was confident and aggressive throughout.
Yea, I think that's why Broski also manage to hit Menard hard. That dude has mental nerves of steel when fighting best player in the wolrd and can still perform really well.
This is why Mena wasn’t really sweating the loss at CC; he knows he good enough to make it to the finals and win every single year. He’s definitely top 3 of the best SF players ever!
He choked at the most important tourney, but he's got so much money from two previous CC wins and other tournaments I doubt he cares much about the money
@@kithuryanvinayagaindran9153he got more than enough money to live well in his Country. Even better having a chance next year to get that million. He really cares about winning evo
Mena is top 3 right now. But sorry, not top 3 of all time. That’s the kind of stuff to say when you ignore the past and history of the FGC. he still needs more time to cement his legacy as a goat
Beating so called pro players and making them look like amateurs consistently is what makes Mena a top 3 SF player. Now calling him the goat of SF would be premature at the moment. Why bring up the past when he destroyed them too??? That’s why I can boldly say stuff like this. So I’m not sorry.
I don't remember anyone bullying Mena to be honest, he was upsetting alot of players early on in his career, he's never been a weak player in my view. I think Punk has lost his edge, he was never the same after that defeat in one of the finals a few years back, you can tell that really crushed him, it should have been his year.
Blanka is well, the problem is that there's not much people that play like that with him, that's the reason why they don't see what's coming when you are fighting against him.@@leitungswasser4285

Tu as raison ! Tout le monde parle de sa Lvl 2 mais c'est difficile à maîtriser et très aléatoire, en fonction de la défense de l'adversaire. La Lvl 2 de JP est bien meilleure, celle d'Ed et de Rashid aussi probablement ! Le match-up contre Guile est très défavorable pour Blanka, tout le monde sait ça. Il a battu Nuckledu parce qu'il connaît parfaitement ce match-up en s'entraînant avec Caba, et surtout parce que c'est Mena. Je doute que Problem X ou Nishikin auraient battu Nuckledu...
I’m seeing a lot of comments about punk choking I don’t think yall really understand. This was an issue in sfv too. No one and I mean no one plays blanka so preparing for him especially at this level of play is extremely hard. Finding anyone to train with especially with menas level on this character is also hard. So it’s near impossible to beat the character. One of punks videos from I believe like 3 years ago he explained just how random this character is. There was really nothing he could’ve done no one has even dedicated this much time to the character so props to mena for even learning to get blanka this good. But do not think for one second punk is trash. This is a hard matchup for pretty much every straight fighter character. It’s just not played enough which gives the user the advantage. Good job to both players 🙏🏿
Except for....1 tiny little bitsy thing...............Mena and Punk are FRIENDS, like he just need to ask Mena to play him ft5 at least 1 time a month if he really wants to LEARN that match....and no not tell me the BS excuse that they not do that....du and Mena play a lot online and Mena is a friendly dude if Punk ask he will give him the practice.....but he never do that....maybe pride or what ever, but that is cost him MONEY so nope he is in this position because he not reach to do more to improve, Mena live now in US is even easier to have sets with him than before when he lived here in DR.

Yep, a lot of kids new to fighting game simply don’t understand. Punk is not a “choker”, he doesn’t falter in high stakes situations. He simply got outplayed here against Mena’s Blanka. You guys don’t even know Mena or Punk. Have you even watched KMT24? Mena pretty much beat everyone like Punk including KnuckleDu who also had no answer against a top level Blanka. Mena, Punk, Du and all the other guys are some of the greatest SF players of this era. Same goes for Tokido, Big Bird, Oil King, Angry Bird, Nephew, Leshar, gachikun, iDom, Broski and Bonchan. I think most of you don’t understand how KMT works. It’s single elimination. Mena almost lost to Broski 5-4 in the first of 16 and eliminated him then. Big Bird beat Tokido 5-1 when it’s clear that Tokido would have faired way better had he advanced against Bird. Same for Oil King who got eliminated by Lesham first 16 round. KMT has no losers bracket like EVO. It’s a classic KO system. Exciting, but not accurate. The matchup means everything. Player A always beats Player B. But Player C always beats Player A. And Player B always beats player C. Mena deserved the win. He’s been consistent and is incredible. But the match up is a matter in fighting games. No one has a concrete answer to Mena’s Blanka yet. We still in the first year of SF6. That’s why I know most of you are new to the FGC or following the tourneys. The balance always changes. Other players will surpass Mena in another year and new and old faces will reappear in grand finals. That’s what happens during the cycle of ANY fighting game. Mena is not being carried by Blanka. That’s an excuse fairly new made by players new and salty about their limits. But it is true that it’s hard to lab and prepare against Blanka. Same for Daigo’s Yun back in the day. Poongko’s Seth, Infiltration’s Hakan. It always changes and that’s why it keeps being entertaining. The life of a fighting games goes through it’s own changes and evolution. Punk isn’t washed. Mena isn’t forever unstoppable. The same people throw around terms like “greatest of all time” or “washed” so easily when they are proven wrong every single time. Congrats to Mena. But none of the players career here is even remotely over. Just wait and then you will understand.

Man seeing how much they've both improved throughout these years is just wild. Mena really had me lost on his movements but really loved it and very impressive and also very tough to beat. Good stuff yall
Mena has always had Punk's number, and Punk knows it. Punk is my favorite SF player, but for all of the skill he has, I think it is clear he needs to work on his mental game to hit the next level. He always gets so close, but can't close. It's not a lack of skill...
I wouldn’t say so at all. Punk used to beat Mena all the time in SFV. It’s not mental game. Punk has proven that he can handle pressure in all his tourney entries over the years. The issue is Mena’s Blanka. No one has a solid answer yet. It’s a rarely picked character and no one labs against him. Why do you think NuckleDu lost in the same manner as Punk 5-0? And Gachikun 5-1? And Broski who wasn’t a runner up like Punk and Du almost beat Mena 5-4 in the first of 16 round. Mena deserved to win, he’s been consistent and hard working. But not knowing the Blanka matchup in SF6 plays a role. Same for Poongko’s Seth or Infiltration’s Hakan back in SSF4. SF6 is still in Year 1 of it’s life span. As in every game in the FGC, there will be new champions old and new faces emerging and leaving. But all these players as Punk, Du, Mena, Bird, gachikun, nephew, iDom, Tokido, Bonchan, are still in their prime. Everything will change. People say Punk washed or Tokido washed since SF5 but they got no idea and are always proven wrong with every year of the shelf life of a SF title. Mena on top now. But Punk and the rest of the best of the best not even nearly done.
that blanka combo was one of the most hype moments ive seen in years across all fighting games omg that was fire

I’m just glad Punk switched characters so the a&& whooping was more evenly distributed damn. Still a solid SF player no doubt
I think he was nervous.... that set was free.
“Somebody stop this man!” Mena with the absolute Crossover Bonanza!
Yo, yo, yo. It's ya boy Punk and i got absolutely bodied.
It’s like punk wasn’t even blocking 😂
😂 I know right
Es cómo si Mena estuviera jugando solo 😂
It’s called spacing
Go Mena! Show them you are the best!
Bro really giving that work with blanka
With all the shouts from the crowd makes it sound like a real street fight
Punk NEVER DISAPPOINT ME!! Keeping the LOSING STREAK ALIVE!! PunkdaSWEEP!!! NICE!!😅🤣😂
Platano Power in effect
MenaRD humble! God is powerful! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Menard no earphones no problem he's the men among man🤯
Este muchacho me llena de orgullo!!!
Somehow its damn satisfying to see Blanka in final and punk totally submitted.
i'm not a Street Fighter Player but
when i see MenaRD and Blanka
i click
Watching Punk play is awesome.
Mena's mind is on another level. This guy is playing 4D chess!
What a performance Mena
10:16 Menard took Punk to Juggle & Wash city right there! That combo was absolutely disgusting!
10:14 is to show that today we have a difference between this 2 big players.
Eh, not really. Mena’s Blanka is nasty but Punk is far from being done. This is the first year of the game. The balance always changes
Punk has that oldschool defense
punk mero muñeco de practicas para mena
I don't think I've watched an sf6 match where one opponent was *put* into burnout sooo often. It felt like almost every round. Unbelievably dominant
Damn lol the guy at the end saying “atleast you didn’t lose in grand finials this time” then long awkward silence
Dude 10:13.......HOW? XD, poor Punk he was already dead XD
Omg that capital punishment ☠️☠️☠️☠️😂😂😂😂
What an insane combo to clinch 4-0.
You’re honoring God by being thankful, Well done Mena, keep placing DR in the map
Wowwwww 10:20
Cara o punk não jogou mais. Tome combo.
Olhe para o rosto dele nesse combo, vc verá que ele percebeu que a vaca foi pro brejo
It's always a pleasure watching Punk get his 4ss beaten.
Why so personal?
Did he steal your girlfriend or something?😂
@@nigeljoseph1722 Nothing personal, dude. I just don't like Punk's attitude with his opponents.
@@jumontano hmm....
Well, ok...
Come to think of it......
You may be right on that.
He can be an A$$hole at times😅
You're a hater lmao
@@jumontanogot the same attitude for punk as he has for his opponents but it's ok for you to do. 😅
3:16 That crossup heavy son
Classic Punk. Oldschool defense
Let’s go Mena
Absolutely amazing battle!
Its literally just this gaee enhancing his stengths. Punk has been the most consistent across the last couple of games.
People have been trying to say blanka isn’t top 5 for a while now and I’m not hearing it anymore. That shit is cheap.
SWEPT PUNK !!! 😱🤦🏼♂️😵💫… MÉNARD IS REALY THE GOAT… with BLANKA !!!!!!!!!! BEFORE with Luke and before with BURDIE very congratulations !!!
Blanka vs Punk is a person specific counter pick and it's honestly genius. Don't play footsies with Punk.
Mena has always had Punk's number, and Punk knows it. Punk is my favorite SF player, but for all of the skill he has, I think it is clear he needs to work on his mental game to hit the next level. He always gets so close, but can't close. It's not a lack of skill...
I wouldn’t say so at all.
Punk used to beat Mena all the time in SFV.
It’s not mental game. Punk has proven that he can handle pressure in all his tourney entries over the years.
The issue is Mena’s Blanka. No one has a solid answer yet. It’s a rarely picked character and no one labs against him.
Why do you think NuckleDu lost in the same manner as Punk 5-0? And Gachikun 5-1?
And Broski who wasn’t a runner up like Punk and Du almost beat Mena 5-4 in the first of 16 round.
Mena deserved to win, he’s been consistent and hard working.
But not knowing the Blanka matchup in SF6 plays a role.
Same for Poongko’s Seth or Infiltration’s Hakan back in SSF4.
SF6 is still in Year 1 of it’s life span.
As in every game in the FGC, there will be new champions old and new faces emerging and leaving. But all these players as Punk, Du, Mena, Bird, gachikun, nephew, iDom, Tokido, Bonchan, are still in their prime.
Everything will change.
People say Punk washed or Tokido washed since SF5 but they got no idea and are always proven wrong with every year of the shelf life of a SF title.
Mena on top now. But Punk and the rest of the best of the best not even nearly done.
Good blanka and cammy great fight keep up the good work
If back-to-back no round Browns doesn't say "Blanka needs a nerf", then I don't know what does.
Que nivel por dios !!
Idk why these days some people still upload in only 1080p not in 1080p60FPS...
What you mean? It’s always 60fps for fighting games
@@lightup6751 Video is not smooth it runs in 30fps...
Good job Mena for humbling this self proclaimed "God". Always a pleasure to see him cry like a little child. 🤣
Yo!!! This is so crazy!
Mena representando republica dominicana los tiempos an cambiado 🎉
Mis respetos y admiracion como amador de los fights, me parece candela la actitud y habilidad , ultra maineo de blanka....saludos desde chile
No one was ready for THIS Blanka 😅
Esto me lo disfruté, como no sé lo pueden imaginar 😹🤌🏼🇩🇴
*spoiler* Menas victory speech should have been "there's only one God, Rob. And he certainly doesn't dress like that"
Seeing my boy MenaRD 5-0 Punk gotta be one of the most satisfying SFVI moments. Olé tus cojones mi niño
