Combo Breaker 2019 Top 8 Set!

Aside from Kitana and Cetrion, top 8 has all of the top 5 characters everyone complains about lol. EB/Sonya/Scorp/Geras/Cassie

Rooting for Semiij tho.

I can understand the first 4, but people complain about Cassie? Why? She's one of the most balanced characters in the game. She can do a lot of things, but nothing that she has is OP.

This isn't me being biased because I'm a Cassie main, I'm legit curious since she usually needs to burn meter in order to get her combos going.

I think the character variety is really impressive, especially for how early the game is. 7-10 different characters could make an appearance in Top 8. Even in pools through top 8 we had pretty great variety.

Because she’s top tier and very good. Easily top 5 or top 6.

I agree. And also kinda shocked Sonic didn’t win. I expected hm to be undefeated through EVO or further.

Sonic always loses some sets. But he also is known for adjusting super hard in losers.

Sometimes in the previous games it seemed like he didn’t get serious until he lost a set. Then he’d stop giggling/trolling, take the hat off, and go into killer mode running through people in losers.

I know, but she's still an honest character that requires higher execution to get damage than the other top-tiers, with the exception of Erron.

She does not require high execution. Lets go ahead and get rid of that myth. I've been playing her and working on her over the past couple weeks and If you're not hitting an optimal it's still easy to sub out for an easier to land followup into ender of choice (which includes standing reset with frames)

I don't really think we can call her honest with mid shot, the 9 frame mid string, the EX safe upkick that gets her out of trouble, the shadow kick being so great for punishing whiffs, we haven't even talked about b24 yet, and where are her weaknesses? She has to spend meter for damage, her fastest low poke is 8 frames, and she can't do insane damage in the corner (usually), This girl has it all. She's in the top 5 conversation. Lets. Be. Serious. Here.

The only characters I haven't seen much if at all is D'vorah, Frost, Kotal, Shao Kahn and Kollector, everyone else has made multiple on stream appearances and/or were used in top 24 and past round one competitive play matches.

I called it! If anyone remembers I said I don't think D'Vorah, Kotal, Shao Kahn, Kollector or Kung Lao would make top 8. Not because certain people can't make them look good but because thier toolsets are garbage and some have serious fundamental problems like hitbox issues and lack of fast mids. Other character do what they do but better in every way.

I meant high execution when compared to the other top-tier characters, I apologize if I stated that wrong. Aside from that, yeah, I agree that Cassie is quite possibly in the top 5, she can make a very convincing argument.
