I really thought that Burn-Out and Drive Guage would become largely irrelevant at high level play because pros would just manage it so well. But you need to be so offensive that they spend half the match in burn-out
@@WiqidBritt Yeah absolutely. I didn't even realize how much of an effect you have on your opponent's drive gauge before this tournament. I don't know how the hell the devs thought this far.
burnout is by far my favorite mechanic in this game, I like the idea of trading damage in exchange for getting a drive gauge advantage, I wonder if the meta will have more drive impacts in combos to put them in burnout instead of going for drive rush scaling combos
Yipes is a fuggin trip man. He could commentate chess matches and entertain ppl.. the slow mo scream had me doubled over in pain from laughing so hard man lol
In case anyone else hasn’t heard: Not only does Guile’s EX dp only hit once on crouch, but it also has a weak hit and strong hit. Punk was JUST outside the strong hit so it didn’t get the chip kill
I know the "best controller" debate is already set and done, but I do encourage people to BUILD A STICK YOURSELF, finding all the parts, designing the front cover and such, it's such a magical experience (and it's super easy nowadays, and cheap too!), creating a bound between you and your weapon, truly wonderful.
I left a really cringe comment on the clips channel about punk popping off to much, i was in a bad mood and didnt even watch the whole clip, that match was incredible 🎉
On the zooms of Brian could are you able to make the rest of the screen normal size perhaps? The zooms were during reactions of the players and you miss that zooming on Brian. (both is best :))
Is there a video where you can explain drive rush better? I have been trying to use it but i cant passed the fist hit and comfirm next buttons without the opponent mashing buttons and stopping me. Do i have to be quicker?
People saying Blanka is Broken while Half top 8 were Juri players. The issue with Blanka is that nobody plays him, having the match up against him is very hard and even more on these early stages of the game. Juri is an easy top 3 character in this game, but everyone plays her, so Mena had the upper hand on the MU. He displayed an enormous amount of skill and flexibility on his gameplay, amazing player overall. P.D. I Don't even play Blanka, no one does, lmao.
for real, people couldn't even punish his EX up ball correctly half the time. Blanka just ends up getting air reset or knocked down in places where people cant quite get their meaties and its so easy fro the blanka player to jump back EX ball and start pressure.
@@Hawko1313 Then again that's the lack of MU knowledge and the Mental Stack he puts on you, there's a lot to watch out for. Blanka Ball, Air Blanka Ball, command grab, rainbow ball. It's a lot take in mind, but it's mostly due to nobody plays him, it's very hard to come up with a gameplay against something you bearly see on the flight, yet, most Blanka balls were punished with DP. Give it time, and people will learn how to punish accordingly. Again, way yo early to judge an obscure character such as Blanka.
Nah, it was actually easy to predict. Only one who could stop Mena was Caba's Guile. But Punk cleaned the path to victory for Mena and actually did the dirty job for him.
By no means is Manon bad, but I do think she is a bit overrated right now. I get the feeling that a lot of pros playing her now will drop her for another character sooner or later.
33:10, it's not about using pad, it's about the ps5 one specifically. That dpad is just straight up dogshit, that's why people are surprised that so many top players use it

Since when? 24:22 whew Wait what’s the switch up lol. 24:47 goddamn this was intense 25:03 what the 25:13 yeah 25:26 NO WAY that was on reaction. No way lol what is neph putting in his water☠️ 25:30 it would seem 25:49 alright nicely played 25:53 damn what was that. Neph lost like 2 drive bars on that one. Was he trying to perfect parry the last one and that’s why he got hit? hm 26:02 yea 26:16 yo that confirm was nice 26:48 what the huh. 27:06 the bombo 27:29 nice 27:42 shesh 27:56 holy hell yeah it feels like the set’s been going for 30 minutes lol 28:14 alright final round of the set. Honestly close as good golly whoever said that thing at the start wth lol 28:32 and that’s it 28:41 lmao scaling hit like that. Nice reset throw. It was like mid combo he realized. Damn ending with a p gg to both. Neph won 29:04 oh hell nah off the bat what is happening lol. Why is mena doing 2 rainbow blanka balls in a row lmao First 2 interactions honestly kind of wild that wake up ex dp was something 29:13 right. Oh yeah this is punk vs mena. Mena picking blanka is even funnier lol 29:31 interesting combo ig the slide was for oki 29:54 this is what happens when you let a blanka on top 4 WHAT IS HAPPENING LOL. Mena why 30:20 that damage tho 30:25 okay well okay. He’s certainly interesting in this game yeh,he has potential in this game but man these interactions🙈 30:34 the doll. Also yeah no his lv2 is just v trigger 2 which was really good in 5 30:48 damn he can combo that lv1 after anything. Good that he has a combo ender/option that doesn’t require charge that’s honestly quite good for him too 30:52 air blanka ball gotta be the scariest thing they’ve given him 31:01 hm 31:06 the what 31:15 lmfao what the hell doll Mena went for command grab after that and punk dodged it really? 31:24 even punk does drive rush in neutral. Is it even a bad option What the hell was that reverse air ex blanka ball hit lol 31:29 the beast is in town 31:35 they sure are idk if they trynna make a point using juri 31:45 mena is making so many scrambles lol Crazy to think mena’s blanka is 2-0 against punk rn 32:05 he did 32:14 yo the champion’s luke
Dude Mena is like the one guy I don't respect play wise. He's a good dude. Ive followed the journey the man took for the people more than himself. I just don't like how he plays. He went 2-0 with Blanka, and soon as he loses a round he switches to Luke. Everybody knows Luke mains don't play Luke. Luke plays THEM. Lukes just a brain dead better version of all shotos. He always played OP Luke in sf5 like 98 percent of his lifespan. Dont get me wrong,I like the dudes personality and what he plays for(not just the money like many others). I just don't like Luke mains. Luke carries dead bodies
@@ZoMbi5lAy3r eh, he probably just switched over to jp after playing juri for a bit. Same thing happened with me, I was gonna main Ken (have since I was 7) but I ended up really snapping in with Luke and started maining him
Punk's pop off only increases my desire for all tournaments to have more of a stage
I was hoping he'd Lionsault of that second rope
Insane to see one of the best-looking Manons run away from the mirror to the most Diamond looking Juri I've ever seen in a major tourny.
This comment is gutter trash.
Yeah that was honesty a shame to watch, I don’t know what went through idom’s head when he made the Juri pick
@@Peacemaker100028 I believe idom had/has a reputation for avoiding mirrors for some reason.
@@tcorninptownI don't blame him, they are quite annoying

I play blanka and I like never use it. That changes today ig
Whoever at Capcom thought giving Blanka air ball was a good idea is actually chaotic evil lol
13:18 peak commentary

We need to push the agenda for people to not skip the walk out animation at least for game 1
At least when there's a live crowd. Let the people get their yeahs
I really thought that Burn-Out and Drive Guage would become largely irrelevant at high level play because pros would just manage it so well. But you need to be so offensive that they spend half the match in burn-out
It's not just that, but there's plenty of ways for you to deplete your opponent's Drive Gauge on top of them needing to use it themselves.
@@WiqidBritt Yeah absolutely. I didn't even realize how much of an effect you have on your opponent's drive gauge before this tournament. I don't know how the hell the devs thought this far.

27:33 That transition was SMOOTH
In case anyone else hasn’t heard: Not only does Guile’s EX dp only hit once on crouch, but it also has a weak hit and strong hit. Punk was JUST outside the strong hit so it didn’t get the chip kill
so crouch AND the spacing mattered there? meaning if he was closer and crouching he would have been hit by the "strong" hit?
@@scotter7663 Yep! If punk were standing OR slightly closer, he gets chipped
Nephew imitation in the first 10 mins downright hilarious. Good video overall. Appreciatchu.
Damn everyone hated when Idom didn't mirror. Me too, you got to pick your guy man
I know the "best controller" debate is already set and done, but I do encourage people to BUILD A STICK YOURSELF, finding all the parts, designing the front cover and such, it's such a magical experience (and it's super easy nowadays, and cheap too!), creating a bound between you and your weapon, truly wonderful.
blanka up ball recovering slightly further away than every other reversal in the game is the true MVP
Brian's tournament's reactions are the best thing man,we need it more often
That Ginyu Force ass entrance is GOATED! 😂
26:55 me when my nephew finesses his way out of trouble
Brian you should revisit other old tornaments as well. I'd definitely watch that
Great vid from brine. Really well edited, the 50 min flew by and I didn't notice
@13:17 @Brian_F had a mini stroke 😂
40:23 I love the beach party happening in the background of the stage while these two girls are just kicking the shit out of each other.
Mena showed up and treated it like an offline locals 💀💀💀 light work
Would love if you made another video like this for Reb Bull Kumite
Yipes will forever be in my heart😂
i was there in person, this was absolutely amazing
I'm happy MenaRD won, so Capcom can see who they need to nerf 👍
That nephew impression was perfect. Big neph all the way baby
Love these vids
Gotta love neph man, he’s just so nonchalant ab everything and then plays like a demon, those ex dps were od
Logan's commentary was more hype here than I'm used to lol
I left a really cringe comment on the clips channel about punk popping off to much, i was in a bad mood and didnt even watch the whole clip, that match was incredible 🎉
Hey be better
On the zooms of Brian could are you able to make the rest of the screen normal size perhaps?
The zooms were during reactions of the players and you miss that zooming on Brian. (both is best :))
That Oro stand was awesome 👏 😅 rock 🪨 and all it was cool 😎👍
That's MenaceRD right there
As someone outside of the community, did Snake Eyes enter this cup as well?
GAMING TIME
i had the exactly same Brian reactions watching this
10:14 Yipes 😂😂😂😂
ANGRY COMMENT ABOUT SOL
13:55 GOLDEN EXPERIENCE!!!
The Caba loss was so devastating
Mena is an irl blanka 😅🤣
damn yeah i need to watch this
Was that a Ginyu Force pose?
Im glad everyone is sharing an equal frustration over idoms essential throw in losers bracket. Like dude cmon man......
Is there a video where you can explain drive rush better? I have been trying to use it but i cant passed the fist hit and comfirm next buttons without the opponent mashing buttons and stopping me. Do i have to be quicker?
So hype
is blanka high tier? or is Mena just being Mena?
what if blanka was always top tier for competitive play, but the right player never showed us how?
Blanka has been top tier in the past, most notably CvS2 but he is quite strong in SF2 as well.
when well we see brian f in these tournaments.
8:41 wtf are those noises man 😂
Punk vs caba was a nail biter
17:54 I feel good, nanananananana
so happy nephew lost at the end

basically Mena won with a Gimmick, once you lab is pretty easy to counter that blanka ball but no one did lab against Blanka

Damn Brian you could be a commentator if you wanted.
That low punished a overhead?
Goddamn that first menard match was insane
Also punk is lit im sorry i was mean punk 😢
