...your favorite player is Fenrichi? o_O Goro made it to Block E finals which means he beat a Nu, then he beat a Carl or Litchi. Daiwa was 19th dan at one time and he held the #1 rank for a bit before Mitsurugi just annihilated him and dropped him from 19th dan to 14th dan. Also, here is your top 8. RYO(Relius) Galileo(Litchi) Zekuso(Valkenhayn) Abarenja(Mu-12) Daiwa(Platinum) Dogura(Azrael) N-Otoko(Rachel) Tsujikawa(Taokaka) Relius, Rachel, Platinum and Makoto each had only one rep. 3 of them are in top 8. Good shit to them. However, I'm rooting for Azrael because violence.

There lies the dilemma. I want Dogura to win because Azrael but I don't want to travel to Japan to kill Daiwa if he gets bopped immediately in the top 8 after beating Goro to get there. Fuck it, I got time. I'll book plane tickets now. Let's go Dogura.

Tager does not care who you are. Your back can be broken like anyone else's. You fuck up, you die. Single Elim, best of 1 definitely helps Tager just "get you."

Where do you guys see the brackets for top 8? Actually, who is in the top 8 period?

So according to the brackets. Goro got to the Block E finals before losing to Daiwa. Daiwa will be advancing to the top 8 in block E. Apparently Fenrichi never made it past the first round. Tiku pulled a Bane on Fenrichi and 720'd his back into oblivion.

This, except swap Jin with Makoto. This is the second time I've seen Goro go down to a cat-in-the-box. ;-; And of all the things to get bopped by, Fenrichi goes down to a Tager? Wow... I guess he beat Mitsurugi at least. EDIT: Wait... Tiku was his first round opponent... Damn, Fenrichi...

HEY. NO CHARACTER BASHING. If Daiwa gets bopped after beating Goro, I will travel to Japan and kill him though.

Yep. Squirrels can sense when someone of their kind is tragically cut down in their prime. Dx The only squirrel in the room got eliminated by the only Platinum in the room. FUCKING LOLIS UGH.

...goddammit. GODDAMMIT. I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE TUNED IN ARGGGGGGGH. ...good shit daiwa. >.>

Don't remind me. ;-;

I just watched the matches. Wakeup PF was a panic move for sure. YOLO Corona Upper would have been better because of the angle Jin was descending at. At least you have the chance to RC. That, 6A, or what Chao said. Those were some hella good matches though. That I will admit. Kuroku leveled up hard. Jin too stronk though. Also, those Makoto players are sexy bitches, no homo.

...Makoto players seems to be plagued with the "almost got there's" . orz

...so what round was it where Kuroku lost because he didn't have 3 heat for a Particle Flare kill? Please don't say finals. ;-;

I thought we were talking about Arakune not Hakumen.

...nah. Arakune is at least one letter-grade higher than Makoto. He's not borderline top tier like he is usually, but he's not bottom at all. He feels... mid-tier to me.

Kune didn't get nerfed that bad. Stop comparing everything to CS1 Rachel. The dude is still pooping out mad damage in curse and I heard his pre-curse game is stronger. Goro even ate one of those combos on the way out. Even though Souji got 3-0'ed, many of those games were very close so I doubt he'll ditch the bag of bugs after he established himself as the based Arakune god. ...although it would be hilarious if Goro had the power to just savagely beat everyone until they started playing Makoto lol.

Those matches were godlike. Thanks Hiago. Not sure if Goro owns Souji's soul now since Arakune is nerfed quite a bit but at least most of them were close matches.

...Exhibition match? At least, that what Hiago said on twitter. I might be reading into this wrong though.

So I heard from a particular person's twitter that Souji and Goro had an exhibition match at ArcRevo. Questions: 1) who got bopped? 2) was it close or was someone getting railed on for most of the matches? 3) when do I tune in to see goro get bopped by a top-tier character?

You mistimed the asteroid vision so hitstun wore off. It requires a little bit of timing to get down. The same is true for your 2A

That stuff needs to be in a stream monster museum or something. sweet avi btw

Goro seems to be really good at finding the gaps in her zoning. He also played Nu for the first month of BBCP so he has some knowledge on how the new model works. That and his neutral is incredible on a good day and above-average on a bad day. However, I've taken another look at his win percentages again. He seems to be getting bopped by Jins lately. :/ ...anyway, here's the translated brackets: http://kurushii.tv/Dustloop/BBCP/Graphics/ArcRevo_BBCP_Brackets.png So if he wins the first round, he faces either a Litchi or a Carl, not a Ragna or Tao like I first thought. An extended look at the entire bracket notes that the eastern half has Mitsurugi, Fenrichi and Tsujikawa. IF (and that's a big if) Goro makes it to top 8 and the mentioned players do what they do best, he will face Mitsurugi or Fenrichi (brackets have them cannibalizing each other by round 2). IF he miraculously beats either or them, he has to face the former Squirrel God/current Kitty god (do I just call him a furry at this point) Tsujikawa. In any case, single elimination, best of 1 high-stakes tournaments aren't the kindest place for a character that has limited tricks and mediocre defensive options. Still, Arc Revo is going to be fucking HYPE and anyone can win. Let's go Goro!

Did he say that himself? If so, I can't wait to hear what his version of Azrael sounds like. I've got faith in based Wesker VA.

Goddamn, Fenrichi vs. Mitsurugi is going to be fucking hype. There's also no way that they aren't getting past the first round. Also Konan is going to body Matoi. Film will body Dora.

It stands to reason that the former Lambchops god SHOULD beat his first round opponent but crazier things have happened. Don't forget about the single elimination nut factor too. Anyone can get vortexed out of the game.
