The biggest streamers in the world vs. Street Fighter... 

One of the coolest things was that people were learning *during the tournament*. They changed what buttons they used to jump in, their spacing became better, they blocked in situations where they previously mashed. Only doublelift didn't really change because he was so far ahead of everyone he didn't need to. : D

Twitter guy is my favorite RU-vidr

"you're good enough to get robbed." I need to start using that phrase in some of the discord servers I'm in. It fantastically describes that part of the learning process where you know what happened, maybe even how to counter it but don't quite have the experience to apply that knowledge practically yet

Doublelift has always been a huge FGC fan, he considers Daigo one of his biggest inspirations .

That girl mashing lp with Honda and laughing/crying "I'm so sorry" over and over is now one of my favourite fgc moments. Great content as always by twitter guy.

I really like the "language" analogy by Brian. you can't learn a language just by studying grammar, you have to immerse yourself and observe the way natives use their language. you can't also learn fighting games by practicing combos and poring over guides. it's like trying to drive a car by studying mechanics.

like I get it's funny for us fgc players but I honestly appreciate that they took the time to venture outside of their norm and tried a fighting game, and as amusing and painful it was to watch I am proud sfv has gotten enough attention now to have the big streamers play it. I hope this can continue with other fighting games as well, like KOF or Tekken

Lirik continued playing even after the event. All I can say is he likes wake up DP a lot, like a lot lol

Emiru just quietly stuttering "gg" is the best thing out of that whole clip.

This event showed me that I do have great mental fortitude to get my ass beat and keep going out there

game gatekeeping itself thats crazy

Doublelift is just merciless lol. Watching some newbies get stomped by a player that knows the game is just heartbreaking, although there's nothing wrong with it.

Honestly I just appreciate they stayed level headed and didnt call the genre/game garbage due to their own lack of knowledge and frustration of what's happening like xqc did with tekken

"Think about every button you press" Fighterz: ('_'?)

Lirik was actually playing SFV 1-2 days after the tournament too i only tuned in briefly but you could tell he had gotten better. More so than who won the tournament i felt like that was the real victory... one of us?

It's not Selling Out. Its Buying In.

Noko absolutely has a hole in his drywall

When i hear "alright, whats going on, youtube" i know all is right in the world

After the tweets I thought the video would've been titled "How I accidentally ruined a big tournament"

Brian "Twitter Guy who Knows Things" Foster, the legend

11:31 that’s how my mom beat my dad and all his friends in the arcades at SFII, except she used Chun Li

Somebody should've been playing Cody. 1. Target Combo 2. Fireball 3. Slide 4. Zonk 5. VTrigger forbidden neutral ggez

It's amazing to see regular people try fighting games

this was a high end ego boost, these guys made me feel like daigo by comparison

I swear double lift was diamond or plat at one point lol. I saw him playing SFV like when Akuma was released in between League of Legend matches.

Doublelift clearly have played the game before or at least knew the basics of Fighting games, I mean the guy was training online and rank up to SUPER GOLD (I not even GOLD and I play this game since release XD), props to him he clearly put the work on this, the others didn't stand a chance.

Damn, it's nice to see Twitter guy get recognition.

Can't believe Brian coached both Lirik and Emiru.

I literally wouldn't have heard of this tournament if it wasn't for this video, i hope they make more of those so i can see it live. Also super relate to noko getting salty abt fighting gamers being built different lol

"The taunt??? He did a taunt combo, in Grand Finals at Annihilation Cup?"

If the MK11 streamer tournament taught us anything, it's pick the cheap shit when you don't know what you're doing. Sheeva stomp made a girl cry lmao

"The twitter guy that knows things". I laugh so much. :))

Doublelift knew enough to bait out and punish the DP on his opponent's wakeup. That's newbie crushing tech, right there.

Brian, you're now "the Twitter guy". It's like calling Babe Ruth "the radio guy" because he did a radio interview once upon a time

Always nice to see a Twitter guy get noticed.

I love that you highlight things like this on your channel. Fun events where people get to discover the highs and lows of fighting games are good for the FGC!

Imagine if LTG competed in this tournament lmao He’d finally win something big 😂

Noko actually did end up picking up a bit more by the end of the event, but then he got washed by DL in quarters

That E. Honda tweet was basically the same advice I gave to randos at the SFV cabinet when I used to work at Round 1. If they played Chun, Blanka, or Honda I just told them to mash the light button and they'd beat their friends. Good times.

Doublelift's reaction is exactly how I feel anytime I play against G in silver. Do I try and tech to stop the command grab combo that does 40% health, or do I block to stop the regular combo that also does 40% health? Best bet is usually just EX DP and never give G a turn, ever.

This feels like a preview for the release of the LoL fighting game, except instead of people we know are good at other games, it's just the League player base mixed in with FGC sweats ready to twerk on new players. I can't wait to see it.

Doublelift would have competed at EVO for SFIV if Riot's contract didn't stop you from competing in non-Riot games, he was definitely going to shred everyone here LOL

"You can see the joy" well, i would be able too, if these streamers didnt start screaming for literally anything they do.

sick video, I loved the twitter clips around this event LOL it's cool to see my fav game get exposure

I've seen DL play SFIV so I had no doubt he was gonna win this SFV tourny.

Always love to see anything getting more people involved in the FGC. Top tier community

it was really nice seeing Brian in Liriks chat and alot of people knowing who you are :)

Lmao he's at the level that he can get robbed lmao 😂😂😂😂

Hey Brian, I've been watching you for a while now and it's helped me finally get to gold. I was stuck at Grand Master for the longest time but finally hit gold thanks to your advice.

Watched Lirik's sf5 stream day after the tournament. He still plays Sagat but was practicing Oro during matchmaking practice mode, so he still got that dream haha. He's impressively good with Sagat but he did say he is too aggressive for Sagat playstyle at some points.

Twitter guy makes the best RU-vid videos, they don't even know

11:54 this is what it’s all about. This is what gets people to get into fighting games; a simple, effective strategy that’s fun to use and gets the win. When they fight better players, it should get them to realize theres more to learn and that’s the start of a long, and beautiful journey.

I saw this and it got me to get the sf bundle. I picked up Laura and have casually gotten to silver coming from almost zero fighting game experience. It’s been a blast

seeing new players learn always makes me so happy

history repeats again however it is in Japan with CR Cup. Almost 600k viewers across youtube and Twitch. The view was consistent during training and the peak of the tournament itself. The format is one pro + 4 popular streamer(vtuber,fps and lol). It was really good and once again Daigo prove why he is the main attraction by pulling multiple comeback victories. It was really hype.

Ayo Brian, discovered you from Lirik's channel and love the content. Binging a bunch after grinding SF6 open beta and excited to see you eat that game up on launch!

This is some good content, thanks for making this @ whoever made it

this event was so fun to watch

I saw an Emiru clip on my recommendation and saw Doublelift playing Akuma, I thought it was a pretty good cross over already.

It’s so fun seeing top streamers who play shooters for their pro career, play a 1 on 1 fighter game it’s like watching my first time playing fighter games but I’m watching a man in his 30’s while fighter games is the genre I first got into

He's good enough to get robbed. That's an interesting concept that I never thought about.

This was such a cool watch, really nice to see events like this honestly! Such great energy, great vibes. It stinks it takes $35,000 to encourage events or streams like this where folks outside of the community come into fighting games big time.

Always a joy to see new people play

bro i died when that kage kept sweeping him 😂

I already saw a few of them playing the game after, pretty cool

Now I wanna see these peeps do a Dance Dance Revolution tournament! XD THAT is a frame-perfect game!!

Doublelift going to be a menace in Project L

I was on this live and this caught me completely by surprise lol. Throw 350k in there and boom

Decided to rewatch this since next week from when im typing this, is SF6 Annihilator Cup, and Noko is in it again, cant wait to see the rage.

this is all ive ever wanted to see

Great video Brians, thanks yall :)

I thought I was regressing but I'm glad it's something natural when trying to be better as a bad player. I noticed I started to understand how fighting games work but I was losing to people doing random things because I was thinking too much. I wasn't aware that dip was a common thing people experience.

stellar video sir. in your positive and uplifting narration i see the seeds of you becoming soul brothers with mr. alex valle. hats off

"Legends in both gaming and the streaming business" Never heard of any of these people before in my life. Maybe big in streaming, but gaming in general? Naw, man

Idc what he said Brian F is an oro main now

This event was the street beefs of fighting games

imagine if they did the same event but with tekken, a even harder game to comprehend, it would be gold.

Just figuring out which tools you have and how you can utilise them is difficult enough if you go into a complex fighting game like street fighter. When I first started I was so confused about why I had so many buttons and even more confused about some enemy moves to which I couldn't find an answer. On top of that, even if you know what you have to do, getting the muscle memory to reliably execute your intentions can be frustrating in the beginning.

After this whole tourney shining a light on SFV maybe we will start seeing some of these big streamers play the game more. Also would love to see Brian on Ludwigs Joes vs Pros. Maybe have another big fgc creator coach the guys a little bit but I think that would be very entertaining.

Great vid, almost missed it

yooo that's my friend who made Noko ragequit.

That first Combo feeling 😭😭

Step aside Bill Nye The Science Guy, Brian_F The Twitter Guy is the new chief in town

Necalli has always been underrated, especially v skill

I'm coaching my bf how to play KOF15 as they fell in love with Terry in Smash. Also helping them learn Samsho and GGRev2. It's a unique experience teaching someone how to play something I've been doing as a kid.

4:20 I think I'm a massive subscriber of this theory considering thats exactly what I experience every time I try to get better at anything.

Noko is that guy that goes from 0 to 100 about the simplest things. I get it it’s frustrating but Christ the guy makes me feel like I just snorted coke.

First Brian_F, then Let's go Brine!, then Twitter guy. I wonder what it's going to come to?

I like how Brian spoke one that fact that if you're actively trying to learn the game/learn fighting games in general(either way) your results are going to be bad for a while, I started playing fighting games back in 2017 and for the next 3 years on n off I got fucking shook for everything n around 2020(like a lot of us) I got better at something n that something just happened to be fighting games it took about 3 years for me to actual see results n now I love the genre. Yes it's hard to get into, yes you're going to get bodied, and yes it can be toxic, but this shit is amazing n I highly recommend this genre to anybody who feels like they need something new to try.

i am glad she had fun and good laughs mashing honda hands lol i know that feeling as a main of myself 🙂it was very fun to watch to enjoy it the struggle i been there so i understand .it was amazing how they do for since only had a week to train as long they had fun .

PunkdaGod said your channel is fire …. Took his advice enjoying your content

cant believe im watching the twitter guy himself. keep it up

8:09 - welcome to the FGC ❤️

i haven't played street fighter in a year and i'd probably get far or maybe win this tournament

Ain’t no way that man unironically screamed WEIRDCHAMP lmao

Doublelift used to play SFIV while waiting for ranked matches in league

Double lift looks better than me. Not too shabby.

Doublelift & Chauster were pretty decent SF4 players, they used to stream it after hours.

Awesome video! I didn't want to watch the tournament, but I like your perspective on how everyone was learning and competing. I'm definitely out of the loop cause I don't know who these people are though. Lol. I just don't get the noko guy getting mad though, cause when I'm new to a fighting game and learning I don't care if I'm losing cause its no big deal you know? To me, it's when you know what you're doing somewhat where you get mad if something new throws you off.

Oh shit, this is the channel of BrianF the twitterguy
