I will be back next year, but thanks to Yipes for holding it down on such short notice and to Rynge as always. DJFFNY WILL NOT DIE AS LONG AS WE BREATHE

Sticky fingers is the only zone character in this game. His punches can hit you without hitting you.

FYI: bless is a Canadian rapper from Montreal, he was affiliated with gangstarr , good friends with guru. Dude was nice but didn’t last long his album from around the time this game came out is fireeeeee tho

sad we dont have katana prime but glad we still got rynge for some def jam

Def Jam always has the best commentary.....

yipes on commentary for this is extremely unexpected

This commentary is poetry.

nooooo KP we wished you were here for this one too. need you back next year.

I did not have Yipes commenting this on my menu today. Sooooo good!

The commentary alone is keeping this game alive lol. We need more 😂

Hear me out, DJFNY tournament but fearless draft. Any fighter picked for a match can't be used again for the rest of the set

For the windows in crows office you can finish them early but its difficult you have to do 3 throws on the same glass pane for the window to break and for your opponent to fall out.

Gonna answer some of the commentary stuff. Look below the readmore if you want some nitty gritty about how the game works. -Snoop/Crow is the final boss of the game and his playable version is just The Same Character so he's some proper SF2 Akuma shit. That cartwheel is Crow's dashing punch vs downed opponent. -"Suspect" is a secret character who uses the placeholder model that stands in for the (mostly-unseen) create-a-character in story mode (as the first scene the character appears in is before they are created, so camera tricks are used to hide the model). His stats are actually all maxed out but his moveset is limited. - Blazing does work as a cancel for most animations, the reason 'he still got hit' is cause his reversal timing was thrown off and went early. -General Info- - The game uses five fighting styles - Streetfighting, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Martial Arts, and Submissions - and a given character can have up to three styles; the combination and the order in which those styles were added to the character influences their moveset. Each style, except Wrestling, also has a specific gimmick: Streetfighting allows a powerful haymaker (and a kick version), Kickboxing is what allows that grapple with multiple knees, Martial Arts changes reversals so that they do damage (otherwise reversals against less-flashy moves will not), and Submissions allows submissions. (Wrestling and Submissions also allow you to switch a grappled opponent to back-turned, opening up some new moves.) - The game uses a pretty interesting health system where you have active health and maximum health; active health is reduced very quickly, but will also fairly quickly regenerate back up to maximum health, which is reduced by attacks much more slowly. To KO the opponent, specific actions must be taken against them while they're in red active health ("Danger" state), or they must be ringed out (on stages where that is legal: Dragon House, Crow's room, getting hit by a train functionally qualifies on Subway). Each style has a specific move that will cause a KO (the aforementioned haymaker/strong kick on Streetfighter, which includes strong grapple -> punch; completing a full 7-hit grapple knee combo on Kickboxer, doing an off-the-wall kick as Martial Artist, landing any strong grappling move as Wrestler, or completely reducing the opponent's Head/Arm/Leg health as Submission), and everyone has access to generic options: weapon attacks (which cannot be blocked, but reversing them causes you to steal the weapon), wall grapples, leaping moves from the turnbuckle, and Blazing moves. - Generally speaking, the game handles the stunned state in a pretty unique and gameable way, essentially alternating between a 'heavy' and 'light' stun. Heavy stun leaves enough time for opp to stand you up and strong grapple you, whereas light stun lets you move almost immediately after being knocked down; normally after getting hit while in heavy stun, if you were then stunned right after (e.g. strong grapple -> heavy stun -> stood up and grappled -> strong grapple), you'll be in light stun (so you don't get looped to death). However, that one 'neck snap' move and Blazing moves always inflict heavy stun as long as you didn't do them twice in a row, which is how you saw some insane combo extensions where someone just lost half of their health. -- When you're on the ground and un-stunned, you can try and do a getup attack (these have strange properties but are very punishable and easy to see coming), or you can block; blocking an attack will cause you to stand up for free. You can also roll away. This creates something of an RPS oki situation - while seme is always advantaged, attempting to grapple (stand up) a downed opponent will fail if they attack or roll, but attempting a down attack may cause them to block and stand up, while rolling away can be easily tech-chased. If you actually land a stand-up grapple, even if the opponent is only lightly stunned, you are greatly advantaged, creating a new RPS game: if opp presses buttons they'll beat a grapple attempt, but if you attacked, they'll get hit clean and opened to damage. - MANY moves in this game have functional invincibility, especially particularly acrobatic moves. These don't appear to just be jank, actually, as many of them have lag time at the end and cause a far knockback which is hard to capitalize on, suggesting there was actually an intent to have them function as something like an armor move. The game also has a 'dead angle' type move (in the Guilty Gear sense) which is used when the opponent has quickly advanced and is very close to you, which will push them back a significant distance (however, it overrides neutral button inputs so you need to be careful with it). - Taunting and doing just about anything except taking damage will build meter; taking damage and running reduces it (the former much faster than the latter). This means fights can snowball very easily if someone takes an early advantage, as you can see during this top 8. Once you pop Blazing (which resets the character to neutral from almost anything), you have a limited amount of time to actually use your Blazing Move; if you run out, your meter will reset to about 1/4 full. Blazing Moves are done by any grapple -> flick the right stick, which makes them quite dangerous when you're in a Danger situation as even a weak grapple can allow a Blazing Move to be activated and kill you. - Create-a-characters can be saved to memory cards and loaded into other games, so you could have entire CaC tournaments if you wanted. (Not really relevant I just think it's neat)

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show fellas is crazy way to open the best ceo game

Can we get Yipes, Rynge, and KP for the next one, please?! Hearing those 3 do commentary together would be absolutely magnificent, and the synergy would be on POINT!

Sad they skipped train finisher at the end there

This is what I look forward to every CEO. I've never even played this game

Did this end up being streamed cause the ceo schedule said it wouldn't be. Reacting to this in chat has been the best thing the past few years.

Bro WHAAAT!? Yall still doing tourneys!? LETS GOOO!

“She used to go out with Dennis Rodman and now look at her, fighting on the good carpet”

Been waiting all year for this!

Watching Yipes get into this was awesome. So much fun all around. We missed ya KP!! Shoutout to Hoodie for repping Teck, my main!

Homicide most def an OG at the vertabreaker. First person I seen was Shane Helms

Yipes edible kicked in right when this started lmao

31:13 😂😂yipes screaming

I'm blazin a blunt while watching these blazin moves sheeeeit. Cheers

Only VOD I've been waiting for, this is the real main event of CEO

Gatekeeper and Joey are brothers. They are the two gods of ffny.

I see why Crow is banned in some tournaments. He OP. EVERYTIME somebody was bout to lose, they just picked Crow and won. I don’t like that.

I don’t think people really understand how special this game is.

Def jam was at CEO?!? Lesssssgooooo

30:40 Jennifer Love Hewitt. Was goated tho!!!

Nothing but tears with the commentary thank you😂

I look forward to these matches every year, and I have never been disappointed! Thank you to all of the competitors, Thank you to our fantastic commentators, and a Huge Thank you to everyone behind the scenes, and the sponsors, making the Def Jam Tournaments Possible!

6:50 "hunny i think theres something going on next door" im crying braaaaa goated comm from yipes

Rynge appreciation post. We love Yipes, but big up my dog!

Teck is a made up character but in the game hes a hitman..

A bit late, but since Yipes asked about DMX: DMX isn't in FFNY's roster. He's only in Vendetta. I think it was Pockets who uses DMX's Blazin move in this game.

The Commentary is EPIC!

Amazing. Happy to see yipes! Happy to see def jam!

Amazing commentary. I love that people are still playing this incredible game.

I really wish the 4 player wu tang ps1 game would get some love at a ceo. That shit is just as wild as ffny

Def Jam : Legend : late 80’s and 90’s era. Us/Uk/Can + international artists. Make it happen team

WE NEED A REMAKE OF THIS BRO. PLAYING WOULD PAY FOR THIS!

I never spectated or heard of this game, but this has been hilarious all the way through for a first timer 😂😂

So happy to know they having tourney’s for this game STILL love it 🙏🏽

This is my most anticipated fgc event every year now. Shout out KitanaPrime, Rynge and Yipes you man kill it

I like yipes but damn wish katana prime was there him n rynge go together perfect 🔥

Here for the commentary, loved this on the GC.

What’s the converter or adapter they are using to play with different controllers???

I don't watch FGC tourneys like i used to but i watch this EVERY time it is held.

Thanx, I never got around to playing this before. Yipes is always a good intro.

Well, this is a surprise. I didn’t expect to see a tournament of this classic

Fire commentary by the OG's

I thought the god 3 were banned. I wonder why they changed it this year.

I love this game mane and the fact that yipes is doing commentary. Its Perfect 😤😎

Bruhhh I’ve Been Blessed Wit This Vid I Got Tuned Into The Previous Tournament Cuz I Copped FFNY Again🤣 Boutta Hop On Right Now Commentary Is Fukkin Pure As Usual Thanks For Makin My Week Yall Boys🖤

I forgot how fast certain characters built up Blazin’ meter. Guess that explains the ban on Carmen and Snoop.

20 year anniversary of Def Jam FFNY

My favorite FG of all time.

The moment I saw rynge I know there was gonna be horrible AEW references.

Yeah Tampa!!! Shame dripsugeki didn't got that second belt but glad we got new blood on the championship.

It seem like everyone was making rookie mistakes this year. Hoodie Batman was the only one who was on point he knew their fight patterns so well he even stopped & taunted mid strike with confidence as if he knew they wouldn’t strike/grapple or would try to reverse lol

So happy to see someoen from NY will the game based in NY.

ME IN LIL FLIP GO THO THE HOLD DEF JAM CHARTER EYYYYEYYYYYEYYYY HANDS IN

Ludacris i believe is banned tier but on the lower end of banned tier.

This legit looks super fun I wanna play it

How do I sign up for this 😩

Def Jam precisa de um sucessor digno, um jogo balanceado, nem precisa encher de famosos só presica ter essa jogabilidade perfeita com a qualidade atual

This the most fun tournament to watch, should be mainstage always

would been amazing if costum character is playable, but i think it take a quite a bit of time to transfer character.

This was entertaining to watch. How do I enter a tournament cuz I was a beast at this game

So all the kickboxer characters are top tier from what I’m seeing?

i feel you on jennifer espespecially when she gained weight and got thick

Thank god he won (no spoilers) Everyone was just picking Snoop Dogg, Electra, or Sticky- I’m glad the dude picking different characters won it and rightfully so

Didnt know Bless was chill like that

Sad to not see KP but Yipes is the obvious best replacement

Brooo we have this👀🔥 where is this even at👀‼️

Mack 10 vs tek in crows office was legendary

West coast is the best coast, you better recognize ✌🏻 I miss Kitana😢

If only this game gets remastered or at least port it. Idk

I’m literally pulling the ps2 out of the closet…..Now if I can just find this game among these bunch of loose cd’s😂😂

Believe it or not carmen electra is the best fighter in the game.

Yipes could commentate grass growing and I'd watch it

Los speakers como siempre salvando el evento Supergods ❤

"He broke the glass with his forehead??" 😨 🤣🤣🤣

I normally wouldn't watch these, but Yipes made this lit to watch. Mans is too much lol

Man what a suprise to see this game tourney pops up this is dope as fuck ya

Hoodie batman you are the god of this game bro

1:02:35 fun fact about Henry Rollins, he literally used fight people in the crowd at his Black Flag shows

the kickbox meta is a bit too real tho

Its Not a DJFNY without Yipes man.
