Congrats to @cR WoundCowboy for winning the Tournament, and for being a character loyalist! I may despise the HELL out of Shinnok, but I have to respect that you stuck with him through the whole tournament.

I AM disappointed in the lack of Kano players though. People are truly missing out on a very rewarding and balanced character. I guess that Kano is too honest for people to use him in a tournament. Only player I know about that even uses Kano at tournaments is Coach Steve and it doesn't look like he was there.



On this plus side, maybe NRS will buff Kano and fix some of his hitboxes since he hasn't placed in the top 8 in any major so far(as far as I've seen).

Showtime and Royale used Kano, but they ended up switching to better characters later on. He's ok but he cant compete with the amount of dirt some characters have.

So, I went through all the Twitch archives, and everything played just fine for me. Maybe they just finished uploading everything?

Anyway, for those that want to catch the action:

@CrimsonShadow
For some reason, only 28 minutes of the Top 8 shows up for a lot of us.
 
It's funny that @cR WoundCowboy was the only Shinnok in top 16 at Evo, and the only one in top 8 here. Yet it is the character and not Cowboy who won a major. BS Shinnok is top 5, but I don't see anybody else beating Terry brothers with him. Sonic even tried that in this tournament's top 8. His BS lost to DJT's Tremor. And wound also used Impostor against Michaelangelo.
It is also funny how people say that placement at majors doesn't matter in deciding the character's tier placement when Reptile makes top 8 or Jason makes top 16 here, but as soon at it fits the agenda - it matters a lot.
Anyways they need to nerf BS a bit and particularly his dark beam. But I would love some Impostor buffs in return)))
