RedBull Kumite - 2017 Edition

Why is the security this cautious ? Damn it yesterday they were all over the stream and the agents almost had panic attacks when the players stood up to celebrate a victory

>>378314504
Probably because kids blew up last week

The Birdie Life is a Good Life™

>>378314504
A combination of the recent terror attacks and how France has been hitas often as they have been.

>>378317931
Verdoyance is really good with his Birdie too, you will enjoy it (but he will probably use Fang like yesterday since he beated the same guy with it).

>>378318536
Didn't follow at all yesterday since I was out all day. Any highlights?

>Dead ass thread
Well this is new for a big tournament.

>>378319524
You're right, they'd rather complain about how /pol/ is invading in an obvious mic dot com bait post.

>>378319410
SFV is dead, it was a great thread last year

>>378318536
Anon was right.

>>378316502
>>378318397
Yeah, I think it's also a lot because its in Paris. I remember the security agents were pretty chill at Stunfest in Rennes

Times have changed

Infil gets a free ride with his wack Karin. Come on, I wanna see the best vs the best. What's the point of an invitational with these literally whos?

I love watching Boxer's get exposed.

We're in 2017 and people still jump on Birdie

>>378323632
That Birdie wasn't even that great though. I'd have done it too.

>>378321998
>mains best zoner in the game
How is this surprising? His only other choice for his playstyle is Ryu.

Is anyone playing Vega?

>>378324589
Nah, but I predict a boost come Tuesday.

Nash is a really bad matchup for Birdie

>>378324749
This

>>378324749
He beat Daigo earlier. I hope that he'll be fine because I feel he's worse.

>>378324658
I can see it, but I reckon people will drop him again after a month or so. The patch still doesn't address his problems, so he's gone from arguably bottom 6 to about bottom 8 or 10.

losing safe ex bullhead will be pretty bad though on tuesday

>>378325163
True that his reversal options lessen, but i'm appreciating making the best anti air in the game even better.

>>378319410
European tournaments don't get nearly as much love as the American ones.

>>378325463
I love the Red Bull Kumite, the atmosphere is cool and the symbolism with the chest, the keys and the cage is nice

>you will never be Laura's grappling bud

can't wait until Hinata is released because I'm getting tired of torturing myself playing Ryu

>>378327183
Why not just play Akuma? Probably the best of the shoto's currently.

>>378326794
Everyone is moving to Karin because people recognize her as the best character in the game.

>People are still worried about the Laura bogeyman

>>378327423
Karin is not the best character in the game. She's fucking strong, but it's the players who're carrying her, rather than the other way around.

>>378327423
She's literally got the most brain dead routine. All the opponent needs to do is wait.

>>378327423
>One guy win something
>His character is the best in the game
When will this meme end?

>>378327352
Oh, I know Akuma is by far the best shoto in the game right now, but I don't play Ryu because I want to play shotos, I play him out of character loyalty because he's my favorite character and I always main him

I'd play Chun too, but I thought she was kinda boring in this game, so I've stuck with Ryu.

Hoping for Makoto for S3 if Ryu is still going to be trash and if we don't get Hinata in S2

>>378328869
Ah, alright then, I can respect that. Personally, I'd like to see either Sagat or Cody back for Season 3, since I know they're never gonna bring Twelve back.

>>378329235
Ed plays like a Cody/Abel with a hint of Dudley. Doubt we'd see any. Here's hoping for Q, Adon, Hakan, and Sodom.

>>378329235
I forgot about Sagat, I'm hoping for him as well and i'd pick him up if they put him in the game

I just need a change of scenery because I'm tired of getting my ass handed to me with Ryu. He feels so helpless with the way the game is structured at the moment

Kbrad drops cammy for Karin

Infiltration says he just wants to win and instantly switches to Karin

yep, the character is just good

>>378329851
And they will do nothing with her, like all the others.
Also,
>Kbrad
My.Fucking.Sides.

>>378329851
>what are preferred play styles?

>>378329997
Kbrad has had his best results in months when he switched and Infiltration is right now in the winner bracket and no matter what will have his best showing in season 2 SFV

Fucking paddies. If the TSA doesn't question you about it at the airport, it's not a real controller.

>>378330924
>no matter what will have his best showing in season 2 SFV
The only way that could happen is if he won Evo again, and then also dominated through the second half up to Capcom Cup. Is this what you're claiming Anon?

>>378332024
That was season 1 anon, we are in season 2 right now.
