Combo Breaker 2017: Top 16 is set! *UPDATED TOP 8*

Cold day in hell...
It's a very interesting situation because this is the first time we have legacy characters in an nrs game.. (You know what I mean) it's uncharted territory for us. Are the legacy characters too strong or are we just still too accustomed to them
Considering we haven't reached the second full week of development for players with their characters I feel it's safe to say that at the present moment people using legacy character are much further along with them then people building entirely new game plans with tools they've never had a chance to use until launch. If you were extremely proficient with aquaman or superman in igau then you got to walk into this game with a fleshed out main that you just needed to make some tweaks to. For now I think this is why we see so many successful legacy characters. That... and most of them are quite good too.

First two sets of top 16 have been absolutely amazing. So hype.

I thought king and sonics set would be untouchable....and then noobe and tekkenmaster absolutely blew my mind.

The twitch chat is the worst I've ever seen. The total lack of understanding is shocking. Like....how do you care enough to watch the top 16 of this tournament but think fox is a spammer and scrub, and think overall that what we've watched is resident sleeper. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Fujin!
Pig switched to Fate in the third match of his final set.
@Gamer68

But truthfully I was completely unprepared for GL MU, should have started w fate and continued w him in the set. Atrocitus didn't feel solid vs GL and fate felt better but unprepared

Looked bad honestly but I'll fix it
Oh, may bad guys. I didn't know that. I updated the list again.

Yep I agree and I'm stealing all that pressure tech

Time to optimize
Oh no offense at all taken, I agree w what I wrote. I have to level up

Fate isn't ready but I'm seeing more of a use for him and need to also optimize him
I respect that mindset. Good stuff Pig.
