Those footsies partially obscured by the table in the foreground. Love it.

[@h0ojn-c1j]

wow, I didnt even notice it.. now i cant unsee it lmao

[@sixevensage7004]

❤ JmCrofts 🎉 nice to see him doing commentary!

[@Darthilandia]

This music, theses sounds, this game! Man, this is a masterpiece. I regret so much not to live in a country or era that 3rd Strike was on high, and today we can enjoy these monsters on this awesome game! Yeah I got the picture!

[@jacksonferretti3159]

22:04 Our boy Fleaux from the SeaCave

[@davicpetrovski155]

Nice to see 3rd strike still going strong ahahaha. This game never dies.

[@bulasturubula3660]

Amazing commentary by JMCroft

[@Dunbeezytv]

I really liked the technical play by play.

[@FIashFire]

JMCrofts is a fantastic commentator

[@slimballs9650]

All those years of holding monthly JM Cups have paid off!

[@mythik4840]

"This is the real 5'11" vs 6'0" matchup right here" LMAO I'm stealing that

[@MirrorSurfer]

I don't know about y'all but my socks have been thoroughly SAII'd off.

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

jmcrofts GOAT on commentary

[@GringoGad]

ken vs chun grand finals to no one's surprise. guess its better than a chun mirror

[@AndrewARitz]

its really too bad. The game has been out for almost 30 years and everyone still picks the easy mode characters. :p

[@combodrop2058]

Yo could either of you name me a 90s or early 2000’s fighting game with 0 busted characters that people still run tournaments for? If no then please just write comments about how cool it is that people are still there making these events happen for their favorite games instead of complaining all the time 👍👍👍

[@AndrewARitz]

@@combodrop2058 No one is complaining about the rules of the game, just the lack of variety and innovation in gameplay.

[@MrPhilGee]

Awesome tournament ! Very surprised no Yun tho!!!

[@yapdat7036]

JMcrofts boyyyy!

[@JuicedMelons]

Still the best sf

[@skiie]

so good the community almost died.

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

I'm bias in favor of this game because I like Necro and Twelve a lot and the other games just don't have those playstyles (though 5 Dhalsim kinda hits that scratch)

[@AC-LING666]

​i know @OP Street Fighter Alpha1 is the best you are right

[@gokublack3107]

True..... street fighter 6 should of be a remake of 3rd strike to be honest 😒🍵.....

[@heartrobin]

I like SF4 more

[@cosmogang]

The Chun Li vs Ken matchups were getting out of hand.

[@JL-ku7wo]

Chun, Ken and Yun should be banned to see more variety in play.

[@AndrewARitz]

Whenever there is money on the table, the easy mode characters come out!

[@DevaPein]

Then dudley, makato etc will simply dominate the numbers. Banning these characters ​doesnt solve oversaturation. It just moves the oversaturation to thr next top tiers. If u want to see more variety, then the 1v1 gormat needs to go. Team based tournament with character limits is an easy solution to this problem. @@JL-ku7wo

[@thetitsarefree]

Am I the only one who thought JmCrofts was more chubby? Maybe he’s been dropping weight, either way nice to see him commentating

[@marccrossland785]

great tournament. grats all.

[@obiiWan7]

1:19:42 - the Chun player loses the match, yet they fight in Ken's stage again in the next match. How's that possible? Are they resetting the game every time or can you do it somehow manually?

[@Space_Lion]

2 of my favorite commentators, let's go

[@DevaPein]

44:50 hugo caught a back jump

[@mohastgridlock]

Jmcrofts listens to imagine dragons, confirmed

[@michaelbullen3104]

Guys.
Guys.
Guys.
BRING BACK EX2 for Combo Breaker next year.
P L E A S E

[@danielnielel]

25:12 bro it didn't even last 1sec what a reflex

[@officialegemen]

Oh... Another Chun player wins what a surprise

[@returningwhisper]

Hell ya.

[@antoniogonzalez115]

Ken vs chun Lee,no fuckin way...

[@davidcox6454]

Are there only 4 characters in this game

[@Lunchbillion]

Idk, man. I found the Hugo matches very hype!

[@TonyTheTGR]

Poor Jamarvelous has a date with like, SEVEN KENS

[@genericsavings]

@51:51 Man, I got salty just from that b!tch move Jamarvelous pulled. Still, dope set.

[@FartyMcgooo]

same here. and his post round taunt after barely winning the round again hugo.

[@dustinmancool]

at 42 mins, vicious was right, that should have been an easy parry out,

[@gokublack3107]

All these damn chun li players 😒🍵.....

[@FartyMcgooo]

chun player barely scrapes by against a hugo and does a taunt.

[@NURCU]

Daigo 😀

[@supersoniccheesy]

I put Fleaux in losers before lol

[@WingZeroEW]

Great games. Maybe the worst commentary I've ever heard.

[@daxramdac7194]

Commentary seemed fine, what was wrong with it?
