Defending USA from Freedom - CEO top 8 re-stream 

Bro! I got to meet Punk during CEO!! He’s actually a really cool dude! And I met Daigo Saturday evening

Punk seems more laid back lately. Like, more chill and happy. Maybe this is what he needes to get out of his head and start winning the offline tournaments. We all know he has the skills. Very happy for him and this win.

The nephew impressions got me😂

iDom rocking JP was the best part of this Top 8. I was genuinely upset he went back to Manon, and got absolutely washed that last round.

Huge idom fan so it's always so painful to see him lose. I know he'd be good with other characters but I do want to see the Manon win.

Title cracks me up a bit

45:34 if only Brian F knew. That wasn't the switch to worry about 😭

I really appreciate these edited down recaps

on the one hand it would have been so epic if idom weaseled his way into ewc with the crusty jp, but on the other hand neph had been so close in dallas where he got 9th place with a crazy run, this tournament also he'd taken out MENA, among other godlike players, would have been rough if after all that he didn't make it, so I'm happy for him

36:42 iDom with the *"AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN"*

48:40 OMFG do more impressions BrianF. LMAO, truth.

28:29 LETS GO GAMBLING!!!

Maaan Manon 5 medals still not enough of a menace, character suuuuuuuuuucks

I wish iDom would do a frickin pirouette

bro NL's button failing during the match was so gutty

_reads title of the video_ Wait, why does America hate freedom? Why do they need defense from it?

Punk needs to become the Akuma main of NA, the characters practically made for him

NL switching from honest, low-tier Akuma to top tier Luke is so sad 😔

Punk seems to know exactly when his opponent is getting frustrated and exploits it.

Still very impressed by DCQ playing so hard even after he confirmed his EWC invite. Would be so easy to relax then and lose that edge.

Still bummed jak didn't sonic spindash to the ring

ANGRY COMMENT ABOUT SOL

Your commentary was killing me! TOTALLY agree about the self-filming intro’s as well.

Of all the times I really did not want to hear Punk talk smack, this was a time I wanted to hear him talk his shit.

ain't no way Punk won with flip flops lmao

title is weird should say for freedom not from freedom

I'm happy for Punk breaking his curse here but I'm thoroughly impressed that Idom got this far with the worse character in the game according to many tier lists 😮

Manon is so hopelessly weak

Punk put up his perspective of it now, wasn't live but a youtube video. I respect it.

I'm the biggest nephew later, that being said, bro COOKED that guile

Punk is a reaction BEAST HOW THE FUUUCK

NL cold AF for loosing to Luke then picking his own Luke to win

Nephew,jak,idom top 8 in ceo is achievement 😁

I like Brian's Nephew impression 😂😂😂

1:03:24 Brian's face 😂

I dont think it's fake oki, he's baiting dp

Im glad he won! He puts in the work!

Anyone know what the song at the very end of the video is?

I’m sorry but Idom deserves manon prison after playing poison for so long in sfv

MANG0 MENTIONEd

I missed these so much

FROM freedom?

You are a great commentator. This is so gripping. Editor on point too, wow

I played against nephew once and I have a match where I hit him with DI 3 times lol

Best title description 👌

I gotta say: JP just isn’t interesting to watch or to play against. It doesn’t feel like I’m watching Street Fighter when JP is being used.

ik its not the video for it but i just hit gold and keep getting ranged with ed. How do i counter that?

nothing better than what Tier List loyalists think is a low-mid tier character getting nice wins. Proof tier lists are nothing but opinions/popularity contests. Give up on believing they mean anything you fools.
