Commentators

(Opening skit: JoJo pose)


Kazunoko (Yun U1) 5-7 Bon-chan (Sag U1)
2-0 (Advantage)
2-1 *Kazu comeback 1r
1-2 *beautiful command grab 1r *very nice counter from Bon 3r (close)
2-1 *nice finish from Kazu 3r
0-2 *miscalculated Ultra cost Kazu 2r
1-2 *nice reset from Kazu 1r *nice finish 3r
1-2 *Kazu raw Ultra caught back dash 1r
1-2
2-0
2-1 *Bon comeback 2r (very close)
0-2
1-2 *Bon almost perfect 1r

- After the 8th game, the game froze. Kazunoko then gained momentum, but only shortly. He lost because he lost concentration over time which led to jumping to death.

Momochi (Ken U1) 7-1 Nemo (Rol U1)
2-0 (Advantage)
2-1
2-0 *Momochi shook his character before finising Nemo 2r (revenge from 1st stage)
0-2 *very close 1r
2-0 *Nemo's bad decision cost 2r
2-1 *close 1r *Nemo missed Ultra, cost 3r
2-1 *Nemo changed to U2
2-0

- Nothing worked against Momochi but Nemo continued to press on. Nemo should have played slower and try to counterattack instead, or even try to win by timeout.
- It looked like a bad decision starting with U1. Nemo switched to U2 when it's too late.

Tokido (Aku U2) 3-7 Kazunoko (Yun U1)
2-0 (Advantage)
0-2
2-1 *close 2r
0-2 *very close 2r
0-2 *Kazu almost perfect 1r *very close 2r
2-1
1-2 *Tokido dropped Ultra combo, cost 3r
0-2 *almost perfect 2r
1-2 *Kazu almost perfect 2r
0-2 *almost perfect 2r

- Tokido played into Kazunoko's pace, little to no aggression. He basically invited Kazunoko to punch him.

Pugera (Ibu U2) 7-4 Bon-chan (Sag U1)
2-0 (Advantage)
1-2
0-2
2-0
2-1
2-1
1-2 *Pugera's bad decision cost 3r
2-0
0-2
2-1 *close 1r (Bon whiffed Uppercut)
2-1

- Bon whiffed several Uppercuts but didn't play too bad. It's just Pugera was too good and always found a hole in his defense.
- In soccer term, whenever Pugera had the ball, he scored a goal.
- Watching this match will make you forget Sako's Ibuki. Real talk.

Nemo (Rol U2) 7-5 Tokido (Aku U2)
2-0 (Advantage)
2-0 *nice raw Ultra 1r (countered crLK) *close 2r (SRK got baited)
2-1
0-2
0-2
2-1 *Nemo overkilled 3r
2-0 *Nemo punished SRK FADC with Ultra 1r
2-0 *Raging Demon lost to HP 1r *HUGE comeback 2r (punished SRK FADC with Ultra)
1-2 *very close 3r (big comeback denied)
1-2 *Tokido sacrificed all meters for super RD finish 1r (close) *almost perfect 3r
1-2 *almost perfect 3r
2-0
