Nothing, she sucks except for the ambiguous crossups that everyone found on day one. :rofl: jk jk

VDO’s a magician I swear.

Just throwing this out there: If Sabre/Valle wins, SRK should release the official feed video (complete with Dogface commentary) for public viewing.

Brutal tie between VDO vs Potter and Valle vs Sabre. I caught both of these live. I think the Marvel match was better but the SFIV match had so much huge hype behind it. That match really opened people’s eyes to what Sakura could do and really got people behind Sabre.

In the end I think the quality of the match should takes precidense over a match augmented by crowd hype.

Putting aside the hometown love for our Sabre (:lovin:)… that was still an epic match and well worth the vote.

I hope this one goes all the way.

I’m not big on MVC2 but the VDO vs Potter took it for me.

VDO vs Potter, Im not a player of MVC2 but Im a fan of seeing high level matches and this leaved me O.O

I can’t believe that Fujisawa vs Akimo match actually made it to the finals.

Totally average.

Voted Sabre vs Valle

The work VDO put into beating Potter is far, far, far more inspiring then watching Valle guess wrong three or four times. That’s obviously not meant to dismiss the likes of Sabre or Valle, but lord do you people know how fucking awful the match up is with Potter vs VDO? God damn.

Sabre + Valle :lovin:

I enjoyed every match, but going with Valle vs. SabrE. VDO wrecked shop and that can’t be denied. GG’s to everyone who participated in these matches.

SF4 matches

Well, this isn’t a ā€œhate on SF4 threadā€ so I’ll sum up my opinion on these matches with a single ā€œughā€ and move on.

3rd Strike Match

A complete and total OCV at SBO. Yes, it’s entertaining and funny and is a big display of skill, but it doesn’t get me hyped as the other two matches.

TvC match

As someone who doesn’t play TvC, this match was complete hype for me. The comeback at the end left me awestruck for a good ten seconds. This match singlehandly perked up my interest in TvC… then I remembered that TvC is Wii exclusive and has no scene. Anyway, great match here.

MvC2 match

What can I say? low-tier winning against high-tier in MvC2? Two good players playing MvC2 so there’s back to back HnK level bs (the good kind of bs, mind you) happening every fraction of a second. Two out of three of the matches having very intense endings? There’s no end to the good things I could say about this match.

VDO is my hero

I liked these two for the same reasons Cheech put them up there. The amazing comeback with abel is great.

VDO vs Potter was easily the most intense and hype.

VDO/Potter was my vote. I don’t even need to speak on it. simply godlike. imagine if that shit was displayed on the big screen.

I don’t really think the valle/sabre was that ā€œgreatā€. it was just valle not used to sakura gimmicks/random resets (msp style) which is all sakura seems to have. just random mixup/reset against someone who’s not really experienced against her. meh IMO. there’s not much of a thinking match going on in there. : /

it was nice seeing what sakura could do, but it was just a guessing game mostly.

so surprising that potts let go ftl

supposedly he was trying to backdash or messed up a pushblock

my vote goes to vdo vs potter

i love watching low tier teams in marvel, i love it even more when a low tier team blows my fucking mind and pulls out an insane last second comeback.

seriously if your not voting for vdo vs potter gtfo.
