EVO 2017 - Where everyone is not playing SFV

[The Blackrose]

That's probably my list of characters you shouldn't pick if you want to make top 8 in 5. Juri, Kolin, Nash, and Vega can do it obviously but they'll have to work hard and I don't think they'll win. As far as winning goes, once you get there, it depends completely on the player.

If anything, I think Juri is slept on. People are piqued by Claw's upcoming stuff, but whether or not it's enough to give him a W is another matter.

Despite some great moments, S2 has been a mess. How we went from SFV beta to this has been baffling.

[Xno Kappa]

How can anyone not love zhi on the mic lmao.

"We need someone to clip that yeezy check for justin wong to confirm, because fake yeezys have definitely been infiltrationg the fgc as of late." lmao

[Weltall]

Fucking lol. Daigo tries to AA obvious jump-ins twice and suffers almost all of his lifebar.

Same shit with Justin trying to use cr.FP with Karin. He should know better lmao.

In this pod, I hope Pr Rog comes out on top.

[Jefe]

Did Justin get destroyed? I know Daigo just got steam rolled lol. Btw, wtf has Justin been up to? Tbh I thought he had retired.

[Weltall]

Justin obliterated him game 1. He dropped game 2 by missing an EX move in combo. Game 3 he got destroyed trying to AA and eating throw after throw.

[Xno Kappa]

Yo Valle straight up sonned Jwong on the mic lmao.

[Weltall]

Valle sucks lol. This game in no way plays to his strengths. He can talk about rushing shit down all he wants, but he is a much better footsie/defensive/AA player than a rushdown player.

Zhi: "How man L's can you fit in Gllty?" lmao

[Nitsuki]

Man, Gllty is seriously in a pool of death. Has no chance, Zhi is a god. Also, how is Chris G not in this and Gootecks is? Gootecks is in another pool of death.

[Spider-Dan]

Also, how is Chris G not in this and Gootecks is?

"contributions to the community"

i.e. the reason why Gllty is in and Arturo Sanchez, who is the-same-but-better - as a community organizer, as an SF player, as a Dhalsim - is not

This is a TV show about a competition, not an actual competition.

[Deathbringer]

Zhi's commentary will never disappoint.

[Krandor]

Fuck Zhi is a savage

[Xno Kappa]

NOT LIKE THIS DAIGO!

[Krandor]

lol, turning this on to almost see Daigo blow it against Gilty, haha

[Xno Kappa]

Zhi fucking kills me about the book signing lmao! "Check on ebay here in a few minutes."

[Intrinsic]

I'm a couple hours behind, kinda listening/watching while doing some work, but did I just hear Tasty Steve say (referring to gllty) he'd like to see that box but thinks it might be a trap. I spit rockstar all over my keyboard. ELEAGUE is never having Street Fighter again.

[Xno Kappa]

Honestly, it feels like they made a few adjustments from yesterday to let the fgc breath because today has been a ton more enjoyable. Yesterday was just awkward as fuck.

[Krandor]

There was a couple of not so subtle jokes about Gllty. I'm honestly amazed they allowed them on air for something backed by Turner.

[Xno Kappa]

Zhi and Tasty Steve have been dropping subtle jabs at a ton of shit all day. I forgot who it was, but there was some crazy shit said earlier like mentioning an air travel ban for rashido when guile air threw him lmao. They better chill lol.

Were they giving Ricki a similar treatment yesterday? If not, then this might be less of transphobia and more of you're not one of the cool kids (which is still bad television, but for entirely different reasons).

However, such an assessment depends on the audience determining:

1) Gllty is trans and the jabs were at her
2) Ricki is also trans
3) Ricki did not catch shit

The more likely outcome is just 1, and no one will care about 2 and 3 as an after-the-fact excuse.
