This feels like a monthly wrap up for SF news and I'm all for it

1:26 Chris Wong always looking like he just saw the scariest shit has got some meme potential .

I loved the part where Brain started counting how many pickles he's been pickling over the last 3 years. Something about him opening his jars just does it for me. It really tickles my pinky toes. Thank you Brian for the content, never change ❤

Oh my lawd, you got how many tabs open??

Itabashi’s stick looks like a level from Marble Madness

Punk started this beef back in 2017 SF5 during his rising peak "to be best player" which Punk starts popping off in the feature match in front of the camera by showing actual "TEABAGS" then throwing them in the audiences. Not only just Xiaohai but dozen other players were getting POPOFF TEABAGS by Punk.

Chris Wong's face is so fucking funny He always looks like he's nervous and telling himself "it's okay man, everything is going to be fine, relax"

I like that Drive Gauge Damage is a cool way to add power to Grapplers without just making them the worst to play against. It's a mechanic/avenue/design space they didn't have before to mess with.

worth noting that Zangief headbutt doesn't combo naturally into cr. mp so hellstab into level 2 is required

MenaRD getting mad about Deejay shimmy when he plays a character with 3-4 different spin moves that all look the same for the first half, and then do completely different things is hilariously salty😂 Nothing against Mena, but it’s like Sonic mains in smash getting mad when they get timed out after doing that for 3-4 sets in bracket

Thank you for these recap videos, it really helps to keep up with the storylines and tournament results

I would love to see you do a full breakdown of an entire set sometime like how you did for the Hikaru vs Punk round here. Seeing someone with your level of insight go through all of the smaller interactions is super fascinating.

Big Bird hitting Bonchan with the low mix is insane 😂

love this style of video really helps tie together some of the storylines happening in these brackets.

idk if anyone has complimented you on how informative you are with all the players and their history but you are impressive. Keep it up.

22:38 someone said he pulled up with the thingamabob 😭

You know it is going to be good when Brian has like a kazillion tabs open in his browser 🤣

Itzabashi going full Thanos with the Infinity Gauntstick, Hikaru taking a break from chess to blitz Punk. Good stuff Brian.

Bro's stick looks like a whole skate park Bro got a backyard pool Bro got a

I never comment on anything but please continue to make this kind of content. I love watching comp sf6 and the mix of match analysis, personal history, and meta-analysis of the game's overall state adds so much context for me! Capcom should pay you for this.

This is my first street fighter so when I saw all the character leaks before the game dropped, Rashids design caught my eye. Not only is he cool but hes really fun! I'm just happy my fav character is solid and has great representation in the scene. :]

Morals are one thing but literal millions is life changing money. Can't blame anyone

Man even after all the damn buffs, my man Jamie still got zero presence in major tournaments. Lol. Wtf Capcom gotta do for this character?!

Why is Menard complaining when he plays Luke?

Ever since Punk popped off on XiaoHai he’s been getting mopped by him 😂

I really appreciate these videos, it makes it so easy to follow the players and the storylines and keeps me invested even though I don't play as much anymore. Thank you Brian!!

Amazing recap Brian! For someone like me that can’t watch all these tournaments but loves to keep up with then lore, this content is gold!

So many storylines. Thanks, Brian!

25:25 - itazan said he didn't try to hellstab, he just tried to do headbutt level 2 lol

ProblemX's reaction to that Rashid Sweep play after was pretty funny. Even he seemed to be laughing about it.

Holy tabs brian? How much ram do you have!? Also the deejay gif never gets old.

Rashid is the definition of a super hype top tier, they can’t rlly nerf the level 2 any more without killing it sooo I say keep him as he is and learn the match up. He’s so fun to watch and play

You consistently make great content Brian. It is clear the work you put into all of your videos. Great stuff!

Love these recaps!

thx for that work. dispite i watch this tournament it was still very interesting

Great recap thanks Brian.

Awesome vid dude. Thx.

What a lovely video man, this is nice

Thanks for the lesson professor Brian

@Brian_F my man, my friend, mi amigo, your computer called. It’s tired boss. Close some of them tabs.

Looks like JP is not gonna be present in top lvl top 8 tournaments anymore

I love these overview videos

Someone in chat said *Bro got that doohickey* 😂😂😂 took me out.

Dang big bird! Well can’t wait to see your Rasheed or whoever you pick up

That title is so good

Great vid Brine. Rooflmonger has become my news guy but you are absolutely my FGC pulse man. Great stories told greatly.

Narration Brian was my favourite

Quality content as always Brian

"....Money speaks...." Unfortunately.

Brian tournament recap goated

Money always trumps morality

such a cool video. god damn joy!

Headbutt is plus 7 on regular hit, so crouching mp won't combo from it because it's 8 frame start up. Standing lk would've worked though (or just going straight from headbutt to level 2.)

if Zhen had won that Capcom Cup, it would have been a phenomenal feat in the history of the FGC

*First* Hilarious Fart Joke, Brine! 😂

Thanks 🎉

This is a good video brian f

i said damn like 5 times during bracket breakdown

Gief can't do headbutt cr.mp , headbutt is +7 , cr.mp is 8 frames. Itazan wanted to do the easy combo headbutt lv2, but his reflexes made him go for hellstab, then he tried to stop himself and dropped everything

I haven't watched this yet, but the opening joke is gold." Also I'm starting to go through character crisis again because of this patch. Rashid, AKI, Honda, Ryu! The struggles of an Ed main!

i just realized urien and balrog arent in this game quite sad

you can 23MP then 236 any P to cancel hellstab into LV2, but it is specially tricky after headbutt. what a heartbreaking moment on that itanashi drop 😢

5:55 is funnier than it should be

Zangief headbutt DOES NOT combo into Crouching MP. and Hellstab into level two is a tricky imput, even professional mess it up.

Angry Bird played out of his mind

To be fair, Big Bird has been saying Marisa is bad into 2/3's and not-top-16/8 quality players for a while now. I tend to agree with him, she gets mauled by people just going ham without much regard and has very few tools to deal with it successfully that aren't easily countered. You might get lucky and land a hit into a big conversion, but you're relying on that stray hit into a conversion over consistent control. No solid anti-air or wake-up options among many others make it difficult to deal with randoms. People just see or remember the highlight reel situations where she's steam rolling her opponent or killing them in 3 hits. A lot of the Marisa players have gone back to old mains with Itazan going back to Gief more and more, Big bird has been saying Rashid is the way for a while, etc., etc. I play Lily, Marisa, and Chun; Mostly Lily because Thawk main since ST. Your best chances for Lily are to play slow until you land a couple solid pokes into positive/guess situations that might lead into guess for game. I play Chun as I always have since ST, patient while looking for mistakes/situations to capitalize on as the monkey brain rush down player starts to break down from not being able to start their flow charts or built in set play. I try to play Marisa like Thawk, midrange looking for mistakes to capitalize on and pressure while enduring the storm of randomness. If she had a threat to make someone at least think twice about just going in nonstop, even if it's wildly unsafe like every other OD-dp or something similar, maybe she could maintain some space more than she does now. Lily has a similar issue with being mauled, but at least she has level 1 super to kind of have a "get off me" button outside drive reversal or whatever.

Itabashi's stick is exactly what you would expect from a Zangief main.

For the itabashi situation, couldnt he just do a heavy SPD? It looks to me like it could kill

As a newish player whos just getting into the tournement content and loving it this vid is great, loved it. P.s theres 2 flies on your wall jk

MYYY GOOAATT GACHIKUN!!!

Brian's content game is elite, hope more fgc people follow his lead

is it the power of rashid, or is it really the power of red bull. HMM

I play Zangief but nowhere near pro of course, anyone specifically knowledge rich in the Gief Akuma match up know if a heavy SPD would have been safer and gotten the kill on Akuma specifically

31:23 in SF6 Rashid would be able to DP after whiffin that Eagle Spike lol. #AddlandingframestoSF6

I absolutely understand these people going despite beliefs. 1 mil is life changing, and sometimes, i think it is okay if you put yourself first.

Itazan said he actually tried an easier route and fumbled it😢

Is Daigo and Tokido qualified for the big Saudi Tourney?

Was the final drive impact an unblockable??

Yeah, where is Infexious these days? I never see him playing.

Why is Mena RD so fucking good?

Gutted about this tbh, I don't like using the meta pick (my personality is broken). I was interested in Rashid from day 1 release but stuck to Ryu and then it was the Rashid Birthday tournament in SF6 when I was grinding for the platinum trophy and I fell in love with the character. Now I find out he's possible top 1 in the game and gonna get his wings clipped at some point.

Character crisis going around like the seasonal flu

as if the us was the pilar of morality on the planet...

This game is on pace to being the best fighting game ever …it might actually be better then 4 when all the characters appear

Tornado should disappear if he gets hit.

Zangief lvl.2 beats Rashid's lvl. 2 CLEAN.

im huge fan from saudi arabia born in Riyadh what is the controversial thing brain say at the start of the vid i don't get it

And that is people why should lab more against Rashid SA2. Big Bird has not labbed praying enough.

Rashid and Ken on top so far?

Brian pls tooch me

Until there's a decent alternative for e-sports tournament money, we can't really blame people for taking this opportunity.

ANGRY COMMENT ABOUT SOL

I need to see Punk win something big soon man

Brian_F? More like Brine_Jeff.

Every Brian f video I watch gives me more chicks

SA continuing its tradition of offering lots of money so people overlook how awful a nation it is

bro can you play guita

I don't mind how strong Rashid is but man does it get boring seeing LV2 the millionth time in one set, especially knowing how annoying it is to deal with.

Itabashi could have won the whole thing. That combo drop broke my heart. And akinis a horrible matchup for gief.
