EVO 2014 - Super Turbo - X-MANIA USA - Top 8 

This, with Third Strike coming in second, is seriously my favorite game to watch competitively. I've even started learning this game myself, to pick it up as a hobby. It just has a certain sort of magic--even all the game's bullshit somehow doesn't smell all that bad, lol!

@@alsoknownas875 I like watching the older guilty gears as far as intense matches

Custom jobs, I only made a few, but it was a lot of fun!

@@Sergjiev any close up pictures of them? I want to see how sturdy they are.

@@Sergjiev your tables look so sturdy. How do you make them so sturdy?

Secret's in the hidden rebar

+Nicky G check out arkadeum.com all info there, challonge brackets, FightCade etc

Lots of practice!

Mao = claw

+patrickgomesify Meh, Claw is just broken once you get knocked down. O Sagat is strong but no shenanigans.

Everyone that's not at a tournament competing level talks about how strong or overpowered claw is he is one of the better characters in the game for sure but broken? Not even close. You just don't have enough experience with the game if you think that or you play a character he wipes the floor with by chance and aren't extremely better than your opponent

​@@CarInMyAss Yeah. I'm more impressed by Mao's claw (which is much more solid than Tokido's semi-fraudulent one, lol) than by any O. Sagat players. If it was so easy to be carried by claw, then we wouldn't have had so many top American players resort to using O. Sagat over the years.

People found a lot of broken tech with O.Hawk in recent years so he started to get widely debated as one of the best in the game.

ST is a game about matchups, not tiers. to put it another way, T Hawk has never won, or been on the winning team, of any national ST tournament anywhere in the world in over 20 years. his strength is overstated in America because hawk's worst matchups are against characters that are traditionally unpopular because of perceptions of tiers

theycallmejpj Exactly. Well put. James gets a lot wrong in his commentary this tournament.

I do... if it can breaks competition what´s the point of a tournament? Is like MvC2 competitions when every player choose almost the same teams. Where´s the fun in that? Mao is indeed a amazing player thought, my problem is more about how the game was build

how come Vega doesnt win every tournaments? ok he has an advantage but it's not game breaking

+KevvyLava how's USF2?

Less spastic haha. It's overpriced for being an old game, but internet play works well, the game appears very balanced, and I think that the game being slowed down to the speed of The New Challengers makes it a much more playable version for the average person. The only gripe I have is that I'm not in love with the Switch pro controller for fighting games...but I can get used to it or wait until a fight pad is released. Hopefully Switch will get some other games to make it worth it for companies to produce them.

+KevvyLava i just got an 8bitdo SFC30 to mod into a fightstick for the switch, will test ASAP
