Tokido Lookin' murderous.

Nemo all business.

Feel free to call it hindsight bias but when I saw Mago vs Idom I was predicting Mago to lose.

Historically from watching and from his own lips, Mago has never done particularly well vs mixup specialists (or random scrambles). He falls apart mentally very quickly once he loses control.

Tokido vs Nemo...Nemo lives and dies by his habits: his insistence on YOLO and rushdown.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

What are the tekken numbers? Or are you just making stuff up again?

It peaked around 78k. While SFV is around 120K right now with twitch and Youtube.

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

Oh wow, Machabo vs Mago...the disciple vs the master (Fei Longs in SF4).

I'll make a prediction and say Machabo wins this, assuming the MU is Necalli vs Karin all the way.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Tokido vs Nemo...Nemo lives and dies by his habits: his insistence on YOLO and rushdown.

Right. He was in top form, but he didn't deviate from his habits - he made no adjustments vs Tokido. A few blocks, baiting those uppercuts, would have been huge. Instead he ate them with his face.

Really happy with Mago making it this far, but even if he beats Machabo, can he double eliminate Tokido?

 

[Richard Packer]

It's actually 92k combined. Stop lying. It's very easy to get the right information.

Those Tekken numbers only cover the twitch numbers. It peaked at 78k and sfv has 80k on twitch right now. So it's not destroying anything, liar.

Nemo is a dyed in the wool YOLO berserker haha. In that respect he's very true to himself; the day that Nemo doesn't YOLO is the day he's dead.

Okay now that you mention it (and with the way things are going), I want Mago to move on...then have Tokido say "I have Mago...'s number! " haha.

The 2d god deserves a big win.

I'd also take Idom, just to further the narrative.

I love when Tokido says anything in english. I've brought this up before, but when Tokido speaks english, he sounds exactly like Chong Li from Bloodsport.

"You break my record. Now I break you like I broke. Your. Friend."

Mago does it! HYPE!

IIRC his 2DGOD moniker wasn't related to FGs.

Personally I have no horse in this race, may the best player today win is all I can say.

Damn, did Chong Li take lessons from Ivan Drago?

Thanks for the pic. Best part about Mago winning is that I can see more of that beautiful Karin in her alt costume, Mago has taste XD

Birdie counterpick?

Win or lose, Fuudo still wins at life by marrying a butt model.

EDIT: Chun Li in top 8

 

[Richard Packer]

Jesus Punk is in disrespect mode. He might take it all.

Oops, accidentally posted before saying anything.

Would be corny if GFs ends up being Punk vs Fuudo with a reset into final round.

Strongest woman in the world yo

That’s ironic calling me a liar when you can’t get facts right lol. It’s over 115k right now with twitch and Youtube. Anyway, let’s not talk about numbers and get back to the matches. We know SFV has better viewership.

 

[Kenji Ramon]

Indeed she is. Such a nice surprise to see Punk’s Chun.

Did you have a nice Birdie picture if Fuudo won?

It's rhetorical BTW, there are no nice Birdie pictures XD

I can see Fuudo clawing to second place cause he usually gets second place but I can't see him resetting the bracket. That was a MAULING.

He has brought her out a couple of times. Fuudo seemed unprepared though.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Ho-Ho-Ho, you get a mix-up for Christmas, Phenom!

Liar.

Lets go Idom.

It's almost a trope that GFs will have a bracket reset these days.

Tokido's also no stranger to the no.2 spot.

 

[SALMORE]

Idom vs Punk !! my body is ready

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Man, that was a great match for idom. That corner combo at the end did sooo much damage.
I love that idom always goes for the swimsuit costumes too

A Tokido/Punk bracket reset would be a great finals, whoever wins. It would build their rivalry more after their epic clash at evo in 2017.

That's how you really know viewership is down, because he's allowed to do that. Female characters would all be forced to wear niqabs for top 8 if we had a large enough audience for people to notice us.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

glad to see me some cammy.

And it's a chance to get another dramatic "I HAVE MAGO" speech + fanart XD.

Oh and about the costumes I assume it's cause ESPN is no longer involved or something?

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

Since FWord is commentating, I wanna hear some RAGO MAGO.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Yeah, if ESPN were involved, Im sure the girls would have to cover up.
Fuudo has had a rough day. He really got thumped by Punk, then Mago. I wish he stuck with Mika. He was THE pro character loyalist for a long time.

Yes out of the JP players Fuudo stuck with his main for the longest since 2016 from what I remember. Most of the rest have switched away or adopted a secondary before Fuudo did.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

This Cammy is savage! Do you even need a Karin with a Cammy like this, Mago?

Mago would answer "Why not both?" lol.

[Richard Packer]

Yooooooo the chip. What a legend.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Aaaah. Tokidos out. Bummer

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

That was insane

 

[Nymphae]

Wow that was a ridiculous chip win

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Chun Li, Poison, Laura...What a top 8...

To think I was fearing Rashid mirrors

EDIT: Whoa whoa whoa can he actually do it? Let's go Idom!!!

EDIT: Ughh I shouldn't have jinxed it by saying something. That was so close to an amazing result. Congrats Punk on the 3-2 win. I can't see Mago, Phenom or Idom beating him twice...

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

Maybe we'll see a Karin mirror with Mago vs Punk...

Edit: Well, we're already getting one with Phenom vs Mago...

 

[Richard Packer]

Idom is dropping so much stuff

Anybody else stream stuttering like crazy.

Seems steady for me

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Great. A Karin mirror match. Yawn.

I support the one that's in a prettier costume, so Mago's.

Ojou laugh

It randomly repeats a couple of seconds. I've reset my stream multiple times too.

Damn, dat moment when both Karins laughed slightly out of sync in the character select.

I'm no expert on this, maybe try clearing the cache or something? Stream is fine on my side.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

 

[Hawks Eclipse]

OK this is probably the easiest prediction to make: Punk will win this hands down. Probably with no reset too.

Agreed. I would LOVE to see Idom pull off a miracle though. He was onto something with the Poison pick, he just choked.
