EVO 2017 Updates, Reactions and Hype Thread!

Ugh, that match made me sick. Good stuff to Dragon though

 

[shoshinsha]

Ugh... you can tell Dragon was even embarrassed to win with Aquaman. Trident Rush = the anti-hype.

 

[StormGoddess]

LOL AQUAMAN- hype killer
the crowd went quiet

 

[Juggs]

Dragon played perfectly, quit hating.

Honeybee man. Dude got lucky he ran into mostly good matchups like Darkseid and Black Adam. But soon as I saw Aquaman, we all knew what was gonna happen.

Him taking out Sonic's red hood though... that shit was unreal. Huge props to Honeybee I hope we see him come back.

You might as well edit the thread title and remove the "and hype" part now.

 

[StormGoddess]

ohoh - controversy in sfv w/ fchamp it seems...

 

[shoshinsha]

Dragon played unquestionably well, but he did it with a poorly balanced character in a super advantageous matchup. Seriously, Aquaman would be fine if they just reduced Trident Rush's chip by about 75% or made the meter burn version unsafe. What is the point of having that move the way it is? I don't blame Dragon (much). I blame the folks at NRS who were willing to keep this character as is for two consecutive games.

No flash no frills but THEO is so solid. Very Strong fundamentals

 

[Shaka]

Catwoman low profiles everything Adam does, even b2 gets low profiled most of the time. Not much Adam can do upclose other than d1 and b1

But but I thought Adam was op and had zero weaknesses?

 

[gitblame]

Sonic Fox in serious trouble. CEO flashbacks

 

[HushoftheWind]

where the hell is slayer?

 

[Shaka]

Yes yes yes Fox is out!

Let's go Dragon!

 

[IceKitsuneX]

Well, I didn't see that coming! Why did he stick with Red Hood? He should have switched.

 

[Protagonist_1]

Sonicfox is eliminated. We will have a new Evo champion! I did not see this coming so feel free to blow me up haha

 

[StormGoddess]

Not even SonicFox can handle Catwomans B3, small hitbox and low profiling moves.
LOL

 

[Asodimazze]

But but I thought Adam was op and had zero weaknesses?

That's just not true, he has evident weaknesses. His ridicolous damage is the only problem

 

[SPECTRELIGHT]

Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey GoodBye!!! Go play Sonic & Tails, furry wannabe...

 

[PetulantWaste]

Issa blow up

 

[Slymind]

All my props to SF for sticking with RH regardless. Shame Aquaman is still out there to ruin the party.

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

OMG SONICFOX

Every game has good and bad MUs. quit crying and adapt.

Reduce its chip damage by 75% and make it full combo punishable, you can't be serious? scrubs lol

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

i take my previous comment back lol.

The king has fallen.

 

[gitblame]

I think it's the worst placing for Fox since I have been actively following NRS tournaments

 

[cdb2]

Fox is out!!
