m2sbr what
So SF5 Top 8 winners are all 12-0 and the people in loser's bracket are all 11-1? That's an impressive amount of winning over the course of the weekend.

If you didn't realize, MKX's top 8 is on-going at the primary stream. Ultra David and Aris are on commentary duty. Audience is pretty much non-existent considering how early it is.

It's still amusing to me how the NRS fighters community seem like the only one who pause their game to skip right to the next match when the current one is nearly over.

I know Smash takes forever, I've been watching Evo for a lot of years and my bro was just relaying complaints from the Smash community AFAIK. I just wanted to know if those complaints from the Smash community were a real thing or just a few crazies I guess.

I hate Smash and would love to see it shut down for SF5 on ESPN, that would be amazing.

There are some fair complaints in what the smash community is talking about, but by and large it's them just complaining that things aren't going their way, and the second you suggest that they change their format or adjust they start crying about it and how they should take their ball and go home.

I love watching KBR in Marvel, especially when he won EVO. People were so upset.

My favorite part of that was Ricky and F.Champ and gang getting on Twitter about how disgusting it was that he won when they had all got knocked out way early.

Also it was pretty satisfying after him and F.Champ met prior and he just scumbag get out his Haggar with constant Magneto repulsion.

Shame about the whole lovely dude thing but all those guys are dirt bags too so he's in good company.

Winners are 10-0 or 11-0 depending on if they got a bye.

Losers varies because the earlier you lose the more matches you have to play.

Winners bracket
Rion (Ky) vs. GGP|Kazunoko (Raven)
Machaboo (Sin) vs. Nakamura (Millia)

Losers bracket
Ogawa (Zato-1) vs. PG|MarlinPie (Zato-1)
Omito (Johnny) vs. TopGaren (Zato-1)

People are probably busy talking about MK and Marvel but I got excited looking at this so here's a few of my thoughts from what I saw from the top 32.

Rion has looked fantastic to me, he's just playing ultra clean. Nothing crazy, just always on point, but not in a boring way. He's just running pitch perfect.

Ogawa vs. MarlinPie is battle of the best Zato in Japan versus the best Zato in the US. Whoever wins that gets major bragging rights.

I like TopGaren because he looks like a hard motherfucker with hand tattoos. Plays pretty loose. Him sniping off i-No was a slick move.

Are there stories of him being a lovely dude? As far as I know he's just an incredibly cheap bastard who's kind of shameless about mooching off other people - otherwise seems like your typical mild-mannered dweeb. Not to say that's great but certainly no F-Champ for example

MKX is a game where two man do strings into 50/50 resets for three rounds and in the end, Sonicfox wins.
