TOPANGA League - Japan's SSF4 AE Top Players Pay Per View Event -

Set 1 to Sako 6-1

all i can say is

HOLY SHIT

set 2 opens up with… sako domination.

I really hope Haitani can turn this around, at least to keep it interesting.

Haitani starting to put up a fight, finally got 2 wins in a row.

woo! 4-3 here is hoping Haitani takes this set and then the next set comes down to deuces.

that was sick

super intense

go sako

lol

Glad it went to set 3. It’d suck if the whole grand finals were a blowout, especially after how dominant Haitani was in the online sets.

Sako putting his foot down.

This whole thing just makes me wish that Makoto had been Ibuki’s partner in SFxT. It’d be such an interesting dynamic given the playstyle differences.

clutch ex karakusa, he lost the tournament if that had missed the mark

good shit sako

get dat monay sakooooooooooo

Good on Sako. TBH The Ibuki matchup isn’t great for Makoto (any char with a vortex like that really.) but great to see 3 fairly underrepresented characters played by 3 unsponsered players taking the top 3 spots in a pretty fierce competition.

^ And don’t forget… WEST SIIIIIDE

throws up the W

sako’s comments

“i worked too hard, super tired now… time to sleep smiley face

lol

Ironically. My fav players in USA? West coast. Fav players in Japan? Kansai/western.

WEST COAST FOR LIFE.

Somewhere out there I imagine there is a japanese tupac impersonator and his accent makes it sound hilarious.

LOL. No sponsored players in the top 3. Good shit.

sako… hori…
