@@vodkagobalskyThat's the issue. Too many things going on at once, but the good news is we have stream. Most top 8's I was hoping to see live, I was in a tournament or a friend of mine I wanted to watch was.
Let's be honest. CvS2 is always... ALWAYS going to be a tournament for 2nd place. The real prize is seeing who gets a shellacking at the hands of Bas in Grand Finals.
Bas honestly looks next level compared to the other competitors. They just look out of their league, like they don't belong there with him. Hopefully they can gradually decrease the skill gap.
Virtually no one holds a candle to him. Only in Japan have I seen a small handful of people give him a run for his money and manage to beat him, but only from time to time.
I don't know why this game doesn't have a bigger following cuz it's a great game and I love these two franchises coming together. Such awesome characters.
Watching this is has got me in the mood to get my Dreamcast out of the closet! This game needs a re-release on modern platforms with rollback netcode! I know fightcade exists but I want to support this gem in an Official capacity.
@ytclassic05 It's the ps2 version. You can see the ps2 sitting between the crts and you can see the ps2 buttons when they configure at the beginning of each matchup.
You CVS 2 EO, they are just using the regular version with RC , u even see one of the players winning a match using RC electric to counter the same move by the opponent
wow i never watched cvs2 before and bas seems like he would play smash bros like a beast with dodge roll and all the air freedom to take advantage in smash. Great top 8
Honestly the real skill is all in Japan. There’s a lot of amazing players there but they don’t travel and usually play on OG hardware. BAS is still the God of CvS2 though.
@enginemuseum5807 no, he's not. He's the A-Groove king, N-Groove and C-Grooves had kings (plural) that would beat him, but he's the only one still actively playing. He was middle of the pack in the heyday of great players, he just didn't drop out.
@@LIONTAMER3D that’s true. He’s lost before especially in Japan. He just wins most of the tournaments in Japan too. I’d rather watch N-Groove players like Yane or something but BAS is still a god of CvS2.
@enginemuseum5807 I forgot his name, but there was a wierdo S-Groove player that had the sickest game of peekaboo ever & actually won a tournament with mai, nakoruru, and yamazaki (2) in a way that left me gobsmacked. [EDIT] no blocking, full tilt offensive maneuvers sprinkled with timely dodges.
Shout-outs to Jebailey for putting CvS2 Finals on Sunday as the Heavens intended.
Personally, I would have appreciated it if it was on Saturday. Didn't work out with timing for me this time.

Bas still loyal to the classics. There has to be more Japanese pros that are still passionate about the classics.
There are. But most of them can't afford to come to tournaments held outside of Japan.
Let's be honest. CvS2 is always... ALWAYS going to be a tournament for 2nd place. The real prize is seeing who gets a shellacking at the hands of Bas in Grand Finals.
Not in Japan.
BAS is goat. untouchable.
First match is two the of most diehard CvS2 enjoyers. Been seeing these 2 at tourneys since it started.
Capcom v.s. SNK 2 matches are always so exciting to watch.
Yeah when its more than Bison Blanca Sagat
Bas honestly looks next level compared to the other competitors. They just look out of their league, like they don't belong there with him. Hopefully they can gradually decrease the skill gap.
John Choi is for the most part his only competition in the USA. Gene Wong as well.
Virtually no one holds a candle to him. Only in Japan have I seen a small handful of people give him a run for his money and manage to beat him, but only from time to time.
I don't think anyone else has even been so dominate in one game like BAS has. He is a fucking legend!
All of the players were incredibly skilled. Wow.
Shoutout to Dr. B. Always entertaining. John Choi is one of BAS’s rivals so it would have been nice to see him here also.
Still one of my favorite games of all time...good stuff. 👍
Dr.B Galaxy will ALWAYS be my favorite. S Groove king!
Bas doing rc electric during a groove wins him the game at 1:09:34. What a beast
that's because he's a roll cancel master
Finally, I been waiting for this.
love seeing high level CVS2!
Shout Out to our own DR.B a USA legend and champion of CVS2 ! Doing it with S-Groove
I don't know why this game doesn't have a bigger following cuz it's a great game and I love these two franchises coming together. Such awesome characters.
Good stuff
YA!MA!ZA!KI!
Bison Bas 💪
thx
That Bas 😮 🔥
BAS killed it
he always does
FREE CVS!
Yo it's QuantumIntel-
Shot out to Dr-B!!
Great money matches -
Great performance during tournament
Next year it's on!👏🔥😎👍💪🎇💯
man id love to play against bas in this game....and kof 98 too
At long last 😈😈

Good
winning a round while getting stunned is insane
CvS2 came out 23 years ago.. time fucking flies my god
For those who thinks BAS stick is on the right side the camera flips as you can see the logos are backwards
I would love a new CvS!
Bas is my idol.
Is BAS still the undisputed champ? Let’s see.
is the image inverted or are some of the players using right handed joysticks?
Some Mexican players have sticks that have the lever on right side because that’s how their 2P side works in the arcade
im surprised people still enter this game, even after knowing BAS enters this game. lol
that keychain looks hella uncomfortable there.
9:20 Once Dr B cracked with that crusher while Bas got full super ready to punish?? I knew then Bas won the tournament
That was alot of up talk for Vic and then destroyed
Has BAS lost any cvs2 tournaments in the usa ???
He lost to Choi at an EVO...forget which one
BAS lost EVO 2006 to John Choi. That's his only loss in the USA in over 20 years.
@@ShikiDan Choi also sent Bas to losers bracket EVO 2023. But Bas came back in grand finals and won.
Character order and groove must stay the sames if you win
Jebailey with the inspirational losers run 😂😅🎮💪🕹️😭🤣
Anyone knowxwhat version they use nowadays for cvs2 tourneys? Is it Dreamcast? Is it ps2 upscaled?
This tourney was using the ps2 version.
i just noticed the little photos of the characters at the top are different on both sides... e.g. 1 bison is smiling and the other isnt
Depends on which groove you pick
@@xtracheesepls776 nice never knew that, thats very cool
What console are they with? Dreamcast?
Ps2 for this tourney it looks like.
Always BAS
Dope but i wish the contestants diversify their team
Same but when you got money on the line and invested in travel expenses, time off work, you really trying to experiment?
Im new to this scene. which version do they play of CVS2?
Im familiar with the console ports.
Dreamcast 100%
@ytclassic05 It's the ps2 version. You can see the ps2 sitting between the crts and you can see the ps2 buttons when they configure at the beginning of each matchup.
We will get gta 6 before we get cvs3
BAS' stick XD
BAS why even enter this tourney when you already know you’re gonna win 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.
Capcom really ruined the kof characters😢
Reverse ocv with C Bison like it’s week 1 again?
“Bass” 😅
So play blanka or dont play the game gotcha!
Blanka is very strong in any Groove, roll cancel shock is grossly overpowered
Was this a version where they patched roll canceling? 😐
You CVS 2 EO, they are just using the regular version with RC , u even see one of the players winning a match using RC electric to counter the same move by the opponent
wow i never watched cvs2 before and bas seems like he would play smash bros like a beast with dodge roll and all the air freedom to take advantage in smash.
Great top 8
If you liked cvs2 you should try to watch Ultimate marvel VS Capcom 3, 2 or even the 1st game.
Sorry for my English, I'm learning 👍
@@ghostspider7619 i watched the idom and Jwong Umvc3 exhibition that was hype af
S groove is so silly. Love seeing that in high level play.
Just boring AF to always see the same chars being used in tournaments... You should include low tiers as well
Why don't you enter and show them how it's done?
@@vodkagobalskyfacts ✨
These become boring to watch real fast because both teams always consist of SF characters its always bison Sagat and Blanka on everyone teams..
Watch Japanese CvS2 vid, especially those of B1GOne arcade on Bas's channel. A lot more variety there.
bas and his 34521372567423184163847 tournament
Sagat Blanca Bison is equal to
Magneto storm sentinel
Or
Dante Vergil Zero
So tired of ALWAYS seeing those teams
talking through his nose, vile
You can tell there’s alot of zoomers hardly any claps they just want sit and watch and leave such a emotionless generation
Vicki is a handsome woman.......I would have so much trouble saying She and her haha
😅
@1:32:51 w t f 😹
The level of skilled gameplay has dropped off dramatically in this game, a whole lot of scrubbery here
They’re in their 40-50s
Honestly the real skill is all in Japan. There’s a lot of amazing players there but they don’t travel and usually play on OG hardware. BAS is still the God of CvS2 though.
