Thanks to Lord @jmcrofts for hopping on and sharing with me! (also pls subscribe (also watch the ad at the end pls and thank you)

A funny coincidence that the "villain" of the Guilty Gear tournament was "N-Otoko" when the big villain of the GG series is "Anno Otoko/That Man"

Fun story: N-Otoko was invited to Sweden at the end of GGACs lifetime for a tournament. Money was raised somehow and one of the powerhouses of Sweden had been living in Japan as an exchange-student and made friends with the Kyoto-Osaka gang (NO, Dogura, Woshige etc.) so he came over. Inspired by the Bounty 4on4 there was a Bounty 3v3 tournament held with one key difference, NO was only permitted one life. It seems almost cruel to me that we put him through this in retrospect but we figured it was fair since he was such a legend to all of us in Sweden. It was double elimination where NO made it to the grand finals on the winner side. Up against him was the Swedish squad of Shinjin BA (the powerhouse exchange student), Xzi JA (known as The Beast of Sweden) and me, Yonasu SL (moral support). In the first game I think both me and Shinjin took one round off of NO before losing. Xzi managed to squeeze out a win and brackets where reset. In the end NO managed to beat us all and he took a huge breath of relief. I can tell you LordKnight that through the years of Accent core in Sweden many things happened and tons of inspiration was found amongst the japanese players but one fact ended up as a core truth to us: Woshige is a god. We were all heartbroken when the meme occured. We all wanted Woshige to get his glory at the international stage, but alas it was not meant to be. Great video and a fun concept to do more videos on! As a Slayer player the game between Hase and Kichi is one that I'll never forget. :D

You and jm need to do some kind of podcast or weekly show or something, I love it whenever you two collab

Hey LK, maybe not the best vid to bring it up, but you pretty much singlehandedly got me interested to really try GG really hardcore for the first time in my life like 5 months ago. I started with Strive, then I wanted to know what I was missing from there, so I bought Rev 2 and Accent Core.... I practice every night as I'm also teaching myself leverless at the same time. Thanks man. It's been a real fun ride.

I swear, only Millia players can cheer when XX Millia does XX Millia things. x_x

15:00 as a competitor (ableit a bad one) I felt that, but as a spectator its hype because its like a hay maker in martial arts. When someone hits that unexpected KO punch the crowd always goes crazy... unless you KO a Brazilian in Brazil. When Stipe won the title it was dead silent lmao

4:44 lk scissors is actually 0 on block and bison has a 3 frame cr lk, characters without a 3 frame normal (4f) did in fact just have to take it

1 millia vs 30 billion venoms

Even if it's a favored matchup, you need nerves of steel to not fold when you just saw your team get destroyed.

Great video. Think my favorite is still DbFZ Spain Grand Finals 2020. I forget the score, but Shanks needed one more win, Shank's UI v Gropis' Beerus. Beerus got put in corner, Gropis waited a bit, then DP'd. If you don't know, UI is invul to all projectiles during walk. Shanks "UI walked" through the DP like Ghostfreak and killed Beerus. Damascus, Tyrant, chat went absolutely nuts!!

Literally every match that Venom doesn't immediately get the upper hand is a fucking nightmare.

I would love if u did a series of “cracked player you never heard of” type beat

that columbus venue was a boba/kareoke/bowling ally it was pretty sick. and one of the first raising canes was right there at the time

Teresa vs hotashi grand finals ceo 2019 guilty gear xrd, what a set man, was the set that got me into guilty gear

My favourite match that I saw recently was Gobou vs Daru in the EVO Japan 2023 losers bracket. That was pretty wild.

Would love more videos like this that are just "here's some cool matches with analysis"

That P4A match between you and Bananaken better be on here mannnnn cuz that was HYPEEEE

Huge fan of you LK, always have been, but damn I don't get how you play Millia and sleep at night. I thought it was tough to fight Millia in Strive after she gets a knockdown - but apparently we have it pretty good right now because it was much, much worse. Sweet video though as always! Great matches - It's lovely listening to both of your experiences as FGC veterans. Good stuff :) ( sarcasm for the Millia bit ofc - I myself was a Nago main, before I switched to T8 where I now main Feng :D )

We need more Lords hopping in and talking about some FGC stuff LK, give us more!

I actually used to do Sunday streams where i watched hype FGC stuff. It always had poor turnout, but it was my favorite thing to share stuff like this. Id like to recommend Daigo vs Gamerbee at Evo2012 pools. I watched that at like 6am UK time losing my shit and then going to some event and just falling asleep every 5 minutes lol

VENOM MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥 WHAT THE FUCK IS A BORING CHARACTER THIS CHARACTER IS PEAK 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

That Jago vs Daigo match was crazy!

One of the best matches that stick out in my mind is ComboFiend vs Marn in UMvC3 at Final Round. I watched it live and it was one of the most hype moments ever, just the scream of "BIONIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARM" makes my hair stand on end. EDIT: Also, not having Chris Hu's commentary on that first Daigo v Jago match is criminal. "DA BEST BIPSON".

couldve sworn the thumbnail was Elijah Wood with long hair VS the Sheikah Clan

More of this please!

I honestly don't get why LK gets hype about this fight.... Millia (just as He said) is borderline designed to Beat Venom... If anything seen N-Otoko beating All previous games was Way more impressive, rather than just Millia winning a Winning Match up... Ps: I do agree Woshige deserves more respect

Makes me wanna go back and play Accent Core. The game was just frantic and locals would always have one guy just dominate everyone. Good times.

2:37 PERSONA 4 ARENA SPOTTED 💜💜💜

This is a great series!

the only game i could ever be optimized in was fighterz because of how relaxed the combo system is (and skullgirls to a lesser extent) i started with sf4 and could barely combo to save my life. still struggle in it lol

jmcrofts!! Thats a guest who causes an Instant sub.

I wish there was a big collaborative fgc channel about documenting historic matches, so much lost lore….

shounen was an incredible testament

If someone brings up Go1 vs Leffin again im going to scream. As a hardcore DBFZ player that match gets way ro much attention and the game changed so much since then and the players have gotten so much better as well.

I think tempest is someone who is extremely close to unstoppable at this point

Needs a followup!

I ain’t watched yet but the classic LTG one better be in here

🔵Knows ⚫️Understands

EVO 2009 Justin Wong VS Daigo

15:00 that's actually why I like mechanics like ultra. That ryu got too cocky, and tried to just guarantee a win with the chip. Mechanics like ultras are less so for bad players to win, at that top play, the players are all usually really good, is more so for the winning side to not get lazy

Yo whats the song that plays at 26:15

P-linking 💀

I came for the Venom thumbnail. I am not happy.

Superb.

I miss bison teleport in sf6 I feel like I need it lol

I like the old niko niko sets of susumu vs. woshige more Could never say who was the best chipp, Summit (サミット) or Susumu

Quality content 🤌🏼

What is the name of the song in the background?

LK received a gutted "fair" Millia in the strive and immediately dropped her.

I wonder if any DBFZ matches will be in here

What's the song playing at 27:12? I know I know it from somewhere and it's killing me not remembering from where.

Day 6 asking for Zato gameplay

W video LK

You gotta turn the gain down on that mic, bro.

Best bipson

So people are memeing on woshige for some reason?

15:00 Exactly why rage arts fucking ruined tekken for me, it's soooooo much lamer than just outplaying your opponent multiple times with low hp. Ultras kinda suck too but ya know what can ya do
