So SFV top 8 character representation is:
  1. Rashid
  2. Kolin
  3. Zeku
  4. Balrog
  5. Karin
  6. Ibuki
  7. M. Bison
Makes sense. The outlier in this is Balrog.

Dogura switched out Cooler for 16 in that second match... for absolutely nothing as the character got completely bodied before even doing anything with him.

Aaaand he gets bardock'd for his trouble. So it goes.
Shame he was doing so well at the start of both those games.

Second tournament in a row SonicFox doesn't top 4. Another one and I'm ready to call him behind Japan's best.

Really don't know why they made such a stupid change like letting people Vanish out of the counter version of Cooler's Lv. 3, no real point of using it unless they have no meter, otherwise the non-counter air combo and DHC versions are more practical.

Or... if you just catch them slipping like Dogura did just now.

Yup it's pretty dumb. Hopefully they change it when they patch the characters.

I didn't see the match, did they change the hitstop freeze when he counters a physical attack? You could always vanish after a projectile hits him.

...Okay commentators started talking about Yamcha's autocombo in the clash and his 5L being 7 frames, am I crazy or did he a) do 2L in the clash and b) his 2L is 6 frames?

He probably already got access to mk11 and busy with that, so he can dominate.

He was tweeting about it a lot, so yeah he is. But it's also been a shift in the game, the mixups he had with bardock/16 got nuked (not enough people focused on how huge the nerf to 16assist was for that shell), and bardock being an easy neutral win, is offset by his rather more manageable mixups at that level.

He needs a new squad, videl can be had even if her mixups are dirty, and trunks anchor is like fine, but you need something slimey.

Japan's meta has also improved a ton. Top 8 started with an all Japan winners top 8.
