It really is amazing... literally zero respect in the first 2 games. Mashing dash and mediums into easy confirms. GAWWWWD LIKE. Jumping heavy into forward heavy into heavy special (3 button inout impossible to mess up combo) into 50/50 oki medium normals. GAAAAAWD LIKE. Fang needing to space near perfect, react to random and hopeful lights into full punishes which are hard af or kill you if miss timed even by a few frames. Meh mediocre play. The more skilled player lost imo because Punk is GAAAAAAWD LIKE. Well made game btw.
Punk's Karin is built different but anyone who can dub the Alpha twice in a row deserves full respect. Big ups Mono. Got blew up for the reset but cleaned up with the adaptations to take the belt. GGs
Punk is still the GOAT when it comes to Karin players, but this was an amazing set. Props to Mono for pulling it off, especially after getting swept 3-0. The adaptions were so on point.
@@matthewroberson6560 The best means winning Capcom Cup and EVO. He has an awesome win/loss record but he will be the Dan Marino or Jim Kelly and NOT the Tom Brady of the the FGC until he wins those.
I love how people say you're washed up, finishing second. It's an interesting dynamic, being so great, that anything but complete success is a failure. Gotta be a heavy burden. Dude is still getting top 8, more consistent than most "pro" players and he's washed up. Heavy lies the crown.
And this wasn't punk only placing in CEO, he literally placed top 8 in 3 events. Taking 4th in marvel and guilty gear. Props to mono of course, he was always a strong fang player, and even rocking m. Bison back in sf4 days. But I feel that punk started to fall apart in the first game of the bracket set. He didn't confirm his low medium punch and he should of won that game. But mono took it and after that, punk didn't look like the punk that reset the bracket 3-0
People dunk on him because of his big mouth, not because of success. See how the likes of Idom or Tokido face way less hate when they lose ? Yup. I you want to act like a villain be prepared to be treated like one. Simple logic
@@TheOxiongarden FGC wouldn't be shit without a good villain here and there. Punk himself knows that and plays it up. I think a lot of people don't realize it's an act though.
He has always been this consistent since 2017, people just like to make fun of him because of what he says. Punk is a persona, they just don't understand it.
Doesn't make any sense. 1 FGC bas been there for decades, and some games with no douche were doing totally fine. We don't need fake persona to enjoy good games. 2 He ain't playing anything, it's just the ego and salt that makes him behave like that. You can legit see it on his face when he's about to snap and say d*mb sh*t
Mono played amazingly after the reset, that FANG offensive pressure is really wacky and difficult to deal with and he applied it very well. Punk pre reset played really well too but the booing and pressure really got to him like it usually does, damn. Congrats on both playerd tho, amazing display of sportsmanship and true FGC!
Punk seems to fold under pressure, I really think he should use noise cancelling headphones and maybe a sports therapist. It’s almost Poongko EVO sf4 levels of throwing
Yeah it felt like he fell apart after the first game after the reset, I think he missed the confirm on the low medium punch and mono won. After that game he lost, everything just went downhill for punk and mono def played amazing to take it 3-0
I kinda don't want anyone to have headphones. Like dealing with the pressure should be part of the experience. If they wanna treat e-sports like a serious competitive event then the crowd is a part of the experience in pro sports.
In these times, I feel like Punk plays Karin a little too careful. He doesn't use overheads or frame traps when in v trigger, or any other gimmicks. Wish he would improve on his Cammy instead of Vega for these type of matchups. I feel like this is not much different from the Dhalsim matchup.
I'll tell ya what happened... mono was too defensive and trying to zone... it dont work on punk! Like who zones punk wtf? .. then after reset, mono realized he can't zone or play with a lot of respect to punk... then he started playing fang in an offensive way, punk didn't adapt on time, momentum covered mono and he won abusing this pressure he had on his ability... great set
@@hotguy17 Do you think any player of skill (like Punk) reaches that level without knowing why they lost? You think they chalk it up to lag and excuses, yet they're some of the best in the world? Come on now lmao
Punk can't handle the pressure. That has always been his Achilles hill. Managing pressure psychologically is a big part of playing any game . Once you're opponent has beaten you psychologically the game is over.
Tough to see the best player in the world struggle under pressure in multiple GFs. Punk keep doing you bro, I hate seeing him lose his confidence when he needs it the most. I wonder if Japanese fans bash their Japanese players as hard as Americans bash on American players. Keep your head up CHAMP!
@@Osmondnewyen its not hard to see the hypocrisy in "oh this ONE guy talks shit over a GAME so lets talk shit as a group OVER the internet while also FAILING to back it up lol
Heard about Mono's story and came here to watch. As someone who doesn't watch fighting game tourneys, why doesn't every KO count as point? I'm a little lost. Great story though. Who doesn't love an underdog?
Basically each game is composed of a best of 3 rounds, meaning you need 2 KOs out of 3 to take a game. The whole set itself is a best of 5 games. Once someone has taken a round you'll usually see a "V" next to the timer in the top middle.
me encanta el estilo ,diseño de fang es mi favorito ❤ mono hizo un buen trabajo eligiendolo ya q el no es un personaje muy amado 😢 gracias mono x sacar a relucir el estilo elegante de fang !! buena partida ❤❤
Hey for all the pros out there, these questions are for yall, so what did Mono found out when Punk beat him 3 in a row to reset the game? Like did he adjusted his game, or was Punk messing up and he was capitalizing on it or at that high level of playing, luck comes into play way more? Cause I thought Mono was toast, I was like "damn, he is getting decimated, how is he going to change the tide? I guess that is my question, how did the change the tide so fast and convincing.
I'm not a pro but was a relatively high ranked Fang back when i used to play. Imo the differences are Mono stopped getting v reversaled into the corner, started checking Punks dashes and also threaded the distance of Punks cr mk more effectively. I also think he took it slower and waited for cr mp hit confirms. I don't think his gameplan changed dramatically honestly, I think he just executed it better. Just my opinion however
@@jusimplicit Yeah, this was essentially a US vs US final. Just that PR is unique in that it sometimes gets its own seperate representation since it's not a state (like at the Olympics). But Mono is as much a natural born US citizen as Punk.
@@TheBigSad8247 yea my part of US taxpayer money went to PR when they needed the help so yea the my better be part of the US if my money going there.. the fuck? Lol

Hi so basically this is a double elimination bracket, meaning if you lose once you get sent to the losers bracket. If you beat everyone else in the losers bracket in final you then have to win 2 sets instead of 1 because the other person is still technically in the winners bracket

Truly amazing stuff from mono
with the first 3-0 you would have thought punk would win for sure
Deserved that W.
Punk needs a sports therapist. Him folding during grand finals is becoming a trend.
Yup
Maybe it's just me, but I felt like Mono was just able to adjust better than Punk. He countered, but Punk didn't (yet) have a counter to that counter.
He definitely has a severe case of the yips

And you doing what you do best and not even being good enough to get into any tournaments
Punk seems have trauma from Tokido on EVO final 2017, he mostly play bad on G.Final compare to other stages. he should see a psychiatrist.
Wow...that final was awesome!! Congrats to Mono.
The lag started on the reset 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤣
Big stages are a mental block for Punk. He has mastered every character but never wins on the big stage.

Ladies and gents we found the real Low Tier God
Wonder what happened in Punks mind when he started to lose. It got worse and worse. When he normally is able to hit confirm he dropped a few of them.
semi panic i guess, given that he gets poisoned all the time and he had a hard time going through Mono's pressure and defense.
Punk always chokes. Nothing new. He’s the best player in the world all the way up until he’s in GF
He needs to take advantage of breaks to rethink and kill momentum. Going straight in when he clearly lost the momentum is not best practice
PUERTO RICO! MONO, Gracias por esa victoria!!!
