[CS1-CSE] Road to Ikaruga - The Bang Social thread - Do you even 3c?

[huey253]

i'm calling arakune winning sbo, because he is a gay character.

[ZONG_one]

I'm going with:

Favored to win, IMO:

Shounen (Litchi) & Eesuke (Carl)

Possible GF opponent for ^/winners:

Kyaku (Carl) & Souji (Arakune)

Upset Winners (I don't expect it):

Nezu (Bang) & Ranrebo (Carl)

inb4Satoshi omg.

SATOSHI WHO?

[Dacidbro]

Nezu winning would be glorious

[DaiAndOh]

Kyaku and Souji teaming up is amusing, I can say that much.

I don't watch enough vids even of my own character to guess who will win. But Nezu has been <3 and Shonen would have a shot even if Litchi was Rachel tier.

[huey253]

i'm personally rooting for dora.

if he wins i can personally affirm all the trolling i do is legit :3

[ZONG_one]

He won't win.

Shit, it took him and Hima like 3 or 4 tries to even qualify.

[Mr. Kimura]

i'm calling arakune winning sbo, because he is a gay character.

I'm thinking Carl... but thats cause other than Litchi I hate fighting him most. /is biased

[huey253]

oh come on zong, let me be optimistic.

[ZONG_one]

oh come on zong, let me be optimistic.

Haha, Dora is ass dude.

Be optimistic about Nezu or Satoshi if anything.

[huey253]

i guess Nezu is cool too.

i'm calling out Shounen's team not winning gg lol

[Seifuuku]

you're crazy

[huey253]

i'm pretty sure they even lost a qualifier already.

i want samitto's team to win, but i think N-O's team will win.

[DoomieJ]

i guess Nezu is cool too.

i'm calling out Shounen's team not winning gg lol

Woshige's team will most likely win. Woshige is just a little bit too good, and millia is just... Dont sleep on my dudes Ogawa and RF though, they are seasoned vets in numerous games, and Ogawa is literally Zato in real life.

This sounds about right, though I haven't seen vids of Satoshi in awhile, mostly Nezu becoming greater and greater.

Satoshi is one of the most solid Bangs though. Definitely more solid than Nezu, though doesn't go for the hard combos like Nezu.

[ZONG_one]

Shounen has been playing too much BB. They won't win unless they somehow beat Woshige.

i'm pretty sure they even lost a qualifier already.

QFT.

N-O, Dogura, and Woshige is broken as fuck.

I'd put $20 on Bang not being on the winning team.

I haven't watched enough Satoshi to decide whether I like him or not. >.>

[rei-Scarred]

I want Dogura to win GG lol. Robo Ky so hype.

Not gonna argue with Shounen Litchi. I haven't even seen him play Litchi but someone as good as Shounen playing someone as broken as Litchi seems like a winner in my eyes.

[ZONG_one]

Dogura is my new favorite player.

I'm learning Robo just because of him.

[Reioumu]

I'd put $20 on Bang not being on the winning team.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised either lol

It's probably going to be one of the top 2, but you never know when something crazy will happen.

[zeth07]

Haha, Dora is ass dude.

What is this nonsense?

But seriously, I don't think I'll ever say Dora is ass when the dude got Top 8 with CT Bang. And it's not like he's been garbage in the matches we've seen, especially considering his playing style.

I do expect Nezu to win before Dora though, but I want them both to win equally. Or at least a Bang player. And seeing how many teams are Bang+Litchi and seeing just how many Bangs there are, I find it hard to believe that a Bang won't somehow win.

EDIT:

Coincidentally, there are 15 teams with Bang, and 15 teams without a Bang.

Those are your No Bang options.

[ZONG_one]

It's possible.

That's why I threw nezu wildcard upset in my prediction.

From a non-biased standpoint, I just don't think the probability is high of it happening.

From a biased standpoint, I think bang is a stupid character, (design-wise,) so I'd hate for him to be on the winning team.

[zeth07]

From a non-biased standpoint, I wouldn't think Nezu winning would be an upset, because Bang = Top Tier and Nezu is one of the best Bangs plus you got a Carl in the mix who isn't a bad character himself.

From a biased standpoint, I wouldn't think Nezu winning would be an upset anyway considering what we've seen him do, lol.

[ZONG_one]

Isn't his partner Ranrebo?

He's ass, he's the Dora of Carl, - the trolling.

Haha.

Maybe it'd just be an upset to me?

I'd like to see a cool character win.

I think it'd be an upset to a lot of people. I hear a lot of talk about Shounen being the favorite.

[DaiAndOh]

For GG, Woshige has just been GODLIKE the last 2 years. Sometimes it's hard for me to believe he'll ever lose. Too bad he wasn't like it 3 years ago when him and Shonen had to play with only 2 players due to Ruu's work. Though Shonen OCVing the first round for them was pretty awesome. Lost a heartbreaker to Gibson next round, Woshige beat Gibson, but then lost.

Personally rooting for the Axl team. Gotta support the main. Recent vids of Samitto have been pretty godlike as well, now for sure one of my favorites to watch along with N-O.

As is any US team, none in GG this year though. Stupid east coast team that wanted to go for Fate that one year and lost qualifiers.

I like how we send some strong ass teams last year....and they paired us against hell. Like they said, you ain't never gonna win! Might be true though.

Hopefully I did them right. I'm not sure which team name was the Korean spot, and I'm not sure about the other ones I got ?? on. Hopefully someone else can fix those.

Possibly the Top 8:
