IBUKI!?
nica ko wins.
NICA GOOD SHIT !!! So proud : )
Good shit! Congratz to NicaKO
He missed a few of his palm setups on Chun, but overall took it with great punishes and some brave offensive gameplay and mixups
Close match tho’
Gotta agree with the commentary.
Ultradavid criticized Afrocoles Urien for not doing crouch fierce after blocked Ken SA3, something which isn’t possible and if you do it means you can get supered.
I know he’s not played in a while but if you’re not sure about something he should just shut up. Chen especially, when I’m watching 3s I don’t give a shit if Chun was also good in Alpha 2.
edit:
This post made me sound really petty but still, there are people who genuinely love 3s who would’ve provided real information and explanations - that would hopefully get some SF4 players interested.
too bad that wasnt GGPO… 
it’s because they simply don’t care about 3S. as in the people running stuff.
so they just go with those two because…they are apparently the only people able to say something about any fighting game in real time.
one guy who outwardly hates the game. and one guy who just doesn’t necessarily know it all that well currently.
why would that be a good team for commentary.
i turn it off usually. but the times i do hear stuff i just wonder how many people decide not to try 3S (and possibly love it) because of ultradavid’s obvious disdain and james chen not really having a lot of relevant stuff to say.
I didn’t watch the stream, but he was actually correct in this case: crouching fierce is 100% guaranteed in the situation you are describing.
actually i was a fireball super away from beating ricky but it didnt come out. pretty good for a ryu offline? let me see you do that with a mid-tier 2 out of 3. oh yeah you cant lol.
im so glad ricky ortiz lost. congrats to nica ko. that was the best grand finals ever. down to the final game and final round of final health lol
i was actually texted that you almost beat him lol
Damn you’re right, my bad. I’d never actually tried it in training mode before, just went off something I was told.
Apologies to UltraDavid.
you just proved my point… :woot:
So who played who and who got what place?
Now for the real question.
How many wake up parries?
Denjizz got robbed.
Congrats to Nica.
Nica you really deserved the win, you put so much into this event.
Shoutout to Hold Dat because you fuckin siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.
If there was 1 thing the commentary team knew for sure:
It was Nica KO’s tourney to win&lose. People will have to try and stop him!
Did he get to bring the Alex in day 2, just offscreentime?
It’s possible, but I also find the timing to be pretty strict. I usually opt for MP->EX Headbutt for a safer launcher.
Also, congratulations to Nica! Glad to see all his hard work pay off here.
Good shit Nica!
Bring the Alex? I think Alex is one of the only characters I’ve never seen him play.
