Perhaps you guys don't know that UMA only brought US$300 on his way for this tournament. There is no sponsor and he was on his own. He was planned to eat only one meal a day, but luckily the game organiser provided some free meals. This is a true story from US$300 to 1M.
Thanks to you, I was able to follow this season from beginning to end. Glad we got to experience top 16 with you, and giving all the context and stories needed for the matches. Looking forward to season 2!
That awards ceremony was embarrassing. No top 8 medal ceremony of any kind, immediately jumping to Chris who just lost, only giving Uma like a minute to talk, having no professional translators and making Xian do it, leaving Uma hanging as he stands there awkwardly as a nothing trailer plays, and ending it off on Rob walking across the stage as everybody just forgot about the damn first place trophy still sitting there. It made the whole event feel more like a locals with an Arby's gift card on the line and not a world championship for a million dollars.
Uma qualified through Aubi Cup, the WW tournament for Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macao tournament, by defeating Chris Wong in the grand final. Also earlier than Aubi Cup in Asia East online premier, the top 4 are uma, Chris Wong, NL and Leshar. NL took the W there but that is the real stacked region.
I was tryin to tell people not to sleep on 'em. But there names aren't Punk, Tokido, etc so my friend group thought I was nuts when I told them there was no way at least 1 of either Uma or Chris Wong made it citing the last offline we had them in. I got a small (big) amount of satisfaction being right. But more, the satisfaction was people actually learning names that aren't just the legacy players. That players like Kusanagi can show his stuff. That Asia East is a real region. That in this format a player that never would have been able to make it due to the financial burden (Chris, Uma) can show their worth on the world stage and come out on top.
1:43:54 Uma qualified out of Asia East over Chris Wong with a double 3-0. People that knew those players and followed Uma from that point knew he was pretty strong.
It was so refreshing to see a new player win and not the same 5 guys that could afford the travel all over the place i Hope this format stays brining new people
winning one game (if they even won at all) does not prove anything. Consistency is the key, that's why Mena is the best in the world so far.@@BlackMetalVayu
Sure, not even defeating the most fearsome competition could not account for proving that someone is considerable a top player among the best in the world, aaalright, we're at this again...
@@Gibbidens God, can you just shut the fuck up. First of all it took me like 3 reads to understand what the hell you were trying to say and I was still annoyed the entire time (although admittedly if english isn't your first language that's on me, sorry). Far more importantly though, is that no one said anything that warranted your super passive aggressive comment. Let me list them for you in case you didn't get it. It's refreshing to see new, less traditionally represented people (like uma), which is true. The people who HAVE been traditionally at the top need to watch out for rising fierce competition, which is true. Finally, that winning over a long period of time is more important than one victory, which I guess is what you're taking issue with? Even though that's so barely debatable it's almost given as true???? Sure, the person who said it might not have had the greatest attitude ever, but that shouldn't detract from the point in any way. Honestly I'm really not sure what you're disagreeing with, no one said uma wasn't to be considered a top player... I just don't understand why people like you are mean and condescending for the sake of it. Please stop and think critically before you type. (And yes I understand the irony of responding to getting angry at that by writing a mean comment, but I'm really sick of people sharing defensible, valid, and discussion opening opinions only for them to get shut down by what feels like a really intentional straw man.)
This is my favorite coverage of the event bar none. The way Brian talks about mistakes is a particular highlight. No derision, just empathy for the flub, noting the opportunity it created, then why it might have happened.
It is criminal that Leshar got out of Group F in winners (winning sets against AngryBird, Mena, EndingWalker, etc) and went on to get 5th place overall to only get 0.5% of the prize pool. 10k out of $2,000,000. Overall great video btw Brian and cool tournament to watch I just wanted to mention that again cause it's crazy.
@InfernalBlaze3D are they? I know the prize pool is gonna be similar to previous years as per the announcement videos, so I assume its less than this year but first place still get 1mil.
@manuelito1233 the President of Capcom said the scaling would be back to normal next year, so 24th place all the way up to 17th wouldn't be getting small payouts and the scaling for the high tiers would be less extreme.
This Capcom Cup was really great! I definitely had a lot of fun from LCQ to the Grand Final 😎. Still wonder what happened to Phenom between group phase and SFL 😬. As an EU fan, I was pretty disappointed to see him play only one match in SFL and that wasn't even the ankor ... wtf? 😑
I was really happy to see Uma win, Juri is one of the characters I play. And I might be a hater, but I thought it was way more fun rooting for him and Gotchakun as they knocked out the Lukes. I'm casual, but I felt like they just had more tricky tech while the Lukes were just buisness as usual. Of course they are amazing players that I don't want to throw shade on, but I feel justified on being kind of sick of Luke since I watched a lot of the pools matches too.
Uma only brought 300 dollars to this event and planned to eat 1 meal a day and stay in hotel cause he dont have any sponsors , while he get some food from game organizers and winning this tournament while wearing his Mio-sa Hoodie , he a fan of Ookami Mio from Hololive Vtuber lol and after he won he tag Mio on his twitter and Mio respond and watch his tournament
This is my favourite way to watch SF6 turnaments: With high-quality insights and commentary pointing out nuances and interactions a casual player like me wouldn't recognize. That being said: Why was the final match between Gachikun and Chris Wong cut here? It's not just the last set before Grand Finals, it was also a super tense set. So why cut the final and most important game for that set of all things?
Why did they interview Chris Wong first before Uma who actually won the contest? That was strange. lol Not sure why people felt sad that Chris Wong lost it... I am from Taiwan and I didn't even know who Uma is until today! holy shit. one million dollar?
That's what I kind of thought, I was sad Angry Bird and Snake Eyez didn't make it out of pools (even though I kind of expected it). But I also liked Xien and Fuudo. At least Fuudo had some good games. But by that point I was also a Leshar fan, and by the end of it I was rooting for Gotchakun and Uma just because I liked how they played.
Not to speak for anyone but I would guess it’s because Taiwan isn’t an especially talked about region when it comes to fighting games. When it comes to east Asia most people think about Japan, Korea, or China as the main heavy hitters. I couldn’t even name another player from Taiwan but that could just be my ignorance.
I don't understand why Chris had to win 3 sets in a row against Uma, yet Uma only had to win one to get the prize ? Wasn't it the Grand Final ? What did Chris had to qualify for ? I don't get it.
Chris was in grand finals out of losers. UMA had beat him in winners. So he had to reset the bracket. Pretty standard stuff. Grand finals is always like a double match
This is how double elimination works and why you want to stay on Winner's Side. Chris had lost already to UMA earlier and was put into the loser's bracket. So he had to beat him in a set to "reset" the bracket and basically knock UMA into Loser's Side first and then beat him again in that bracket to win the whole thing. UMA's advantage is he only has to win one set since he never lost a set in the first place.
It's a double elimination bracket. Think of it like having two lives. Chris Wong lost once, so he lost a life, but UMA hasn't lost yet, so he still had one to spare.
Brian, I l've been following and watching your content for a long time, much love - but for the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, please stop putting spoilers in the thumbnails. I fucking work long weekend shifts and can't get a lot of time to watch the tourneys but the first thing I dont want to see when looking at my SUBSRIPTIONS is a spoiler to one of the most massive tournaments..man like give me something to look forward to as the video progress TL:DR Stop fucking spoiling winners/loser in massively anticipated tournaments that not everyone can watch immediately..please
All that hype and anxiety you get that makes the videos so entertaining is lost to your viewers when you tell us who wins in the end- what the fuck . Yes, the matches are still cool to see but why? why ruin one of the biggest draws
Capcom really need to get their qualification for capcom right going forward. There’s too much at stake now. We need the best 48 players competing and the ridiculous random placing to be gone. I have an idea of what could be done but it’s too intricate and vast to share here. I tried to share on X but not sure how to share docs on there. How can I get/explain it to you?
@@jayro792 I don't doubt that. But your use of them makes you seem arrogant. Or even inept if you can't articulate your idea well. Do it. Share with the class this brilliant idea of yours. You have all the time and character limit to do it.
Props to UMA, but it's hard to call the winner of this wack setup as the "champ". The best regions, i.e. Japan, were artificially limited slots. Pools were random instead of seeded so we had nightmare pools like F and then comparatively easy pools. Pools were best of 3 and the overall event was so slow and stretched out. The downtime between matches was absurd. Again, no hate on UMA. He beat the players in front of him. I hope he enjoys that cool million, but Capcom should be embarassed with how inept this tournament format is. Winning EVO or some of the other stacked tournaments this year is more impressive.
I have a challenge for you if your up for it. RUclips Uma juri and watch his online matches vs tokido daigo fuudo and big names. He beats most of them or it's close. He was always capable we just didn't know him. Technically we would have if we looked at the cfn juri leaderboards he's usually top 3.
I thought Group G was garbage when groups like F existed, but after seeing Uma perform, now I'm glad to have found out about this monster not many had known about prior to Capcom Cup X.
Perhaps you guys don't know that UMA only brought US$300 on his way for this tournament. There is no sponsor and he was on his own. He was planned to eat only one meal a day, but luckily the game organiser provided some free meals. This is a true story from US$300 to 1M.
It was pretty funny how they immediately were like 🎤“that’s rough Chris Wong gotta feel bad to lose a million dollars”

Already watched the entire thing but time to watch it again with brine commentary
No one had ever predicted a Juri would win the BIGGEST Capcom Cup ever---1 million dollar prize!
I am so happy for UMA.. and presenting Taiwan!
I can't even fathom the level of pure unfiltered anxiety that is doing a match for $1 million.
your casting was straight up better the the real cast
It's always a joy seeing people react to Kusanagi style. Cero miedo!
It was so amazing to watch, I was crying for UMA and Taiwan!! 🇹🇼❤🎉😭
Ppl in chat complaining when Luke 2MP hit Dee Jay 5LP as if the reason that happened was Luke's hitbox and not Dee Jay's absurd hurtbox on that move.

They ruined the finals with the awkward interviews and all
Fuck yeah so happy a juri player won
I said yesterday and I'll keep saying it, Kawano only beat Kusanagi cuz of Luke, Kusa had his number the entire set
It just sucks i didnt really have anyone to root for in top 8 lmfao all my favorites got cooked
I always root for the underdogs once my favorite player is eliminated. Just glad to have witnessed amazing sets!
@nintendowolf I mean tbf I was rooting for snake eyez lmfao so I was out early haha but at least he had some really good sets outside of fuudo

Different art direction (also they made sf6 for old gen too so there's that)
Tekken has better technical graphics but SF6 has better art direction, character design, and animation.
No it doesn’t. Both games look great. No need to be weirdos, who belittle anything that isn’t the game they like.
