Everyone talking about Blanka this and that, but not a single person is commenting on the fact Mena abused the shit out of Kakeru's constant trigger happy on the parry button, he does that every time he plays, he loves that parry button and Mena ripped him apart with throw loops.
@@VampiricNoir Blanka was A-tier before this tournament, but Japan's going to come back placing him at the top spot. It's the best way to get Capcom to bring in the nerfs.
I'm a Frenchie who learnt to speak English, more than the quality of the fights, the comments are the reason why I enjoy watching tournaments like this. You guys are amazing 🙏🏿
No, he was always a parry happy player, Mena simply abused Kakeru's constante abuse of parry mechanics, that's how Kakeru won his tournament, by perfect parrying, what counters parry? Throws.
@@Nobody-su9km Bruh, I know that, but he isn't getting punished countered on all those throws. kakeru either blocks or parries. He could have thrown a delay-tech or two in there after getting throw-looped for 4 rounds straight and not shimmied once. Reminds of Punk's LCQ match against Daigo where he says he had noticed that Daigo loves to establish throws loops with Ken and so he bet on throw for the first 3 rounds. Daigo didn't update for aaaages.
@@Forever_Scrub yes he is lmao. He is literally either getting hard knocked down or countered on 90% of The throws and you can see his character getting blue on more than half of them.
I love Yipes' commentary. "What are they sayin'? They're like yup, there goes MenaRD kickin' our ass once again. We really gotta take it back to the lab and really figure this man out because Jesus Christ."
MenaRD might be the most dominant player in any era of street fighter ever given the level of competition and natural evolution the FGC has gone through. He is so clearly a level or two above every other player, despite the FGC being more loaded with top tier talent than ever before. This is impressive and MenaRD and the Dominican Republic have an all-time great player and ambassador on their hands. What a guy. Congrats MenaRD! Keep that same energy throughout all your life. Sharing passion and love and your talent with the world.
I would love to see a fight between Mena and Infiltration. In my opinion, Infiltration is a different kind of player from everybody else, but we will never know the result...
I'm waiting to see how he does after they nerf the shit out of blanka XD Not saying he's not a great player, but when a commentator says 'Nobody has the answer to Mena', what they actually mean is nobody has the answer to Mena's Blanka.
Loved that Ryukichi vs Mena set. I play Ken and Luke is normally so boring to watch for me, so I admit I’m biased on which character I preferred but watching Mena play Luke is a joy to watch
2 times Capcom Cup champ....Red Kumite 2024 Champ....SFL US champ.....SFL World Champ.....and now EVO CHAMP...............ARE WE STILL question who is the modern GOAT of Street Fighter? NAHH MENARD is that DUDE.
@@JudgeHoldenUwU Evo Japan is an Official evo. He is an evo champ according to the records LOL Until Daigo or Tokido win a capcom cup, they can not be considered Goats
Mena made Japan looks so free. But i wonder if Akuma and season 2 balance will affect his Luke/Blanka performance. I got the feeling Capcom gonna nerfed Luke and Blanka.
56:55 I bet you thought that since JP whiffed his punish, then that means it's a missed opportunity. nah. even when he misses and is locked in recovery frames, he still hits you
Gotta say the commentators crying about JP when kakeru is literally the best JP in the world and he was fighting ken is the most biased commentating i heard in a while

It’s the age old questions of Is blanka actually really good, or is mena just a god-tier player

Kakeru thought Mena was going for a hug or something when he wanted to do the stare down xD
1:45:24
Rub the belly... So awkward
He just wanted to rub his belly. It's considered good luck in Asia to rub a buddha's stomach
He rubbed the belly !! 😅y’all are funny

c'est ouf jte jure ils font ptdr ces mecs j'adore
ANY commentary that contains Yipes in it is bound to be GODLIKE! I'm loving this!
The fights start at around 8:15
“That barber cut is clean” “impeccable!”😂
At once the silliest and the best commentary I've ever heard in top 6. Cracked me up constantly!
Makin my boy Blanka look immortal
Kakeru trained himself so hard to avoid the shimmy that he forgot how to tech.

Kakeru with the amazing belly rub/staredown option select.
17:42 might be the biggest choke I've ever seen
pro players like mena and punk that randomly do unoptimal drive rush combos that end in DP for fun deserve this more often
he was playing with his food and found out the hard way. I feel like if he didn't choke that he could've lost the set lol
Nah Takito vs Smug CEO
Another one lives and dies by the shoruken
I love Yipes' commentary.
"What are they sayin'? They're like yup, there goes MenaRD kickin' our ass once again. We really gotta take it back to the lab and really figure this man out because Jesus Christ."
You don’t get to figure out Mena, Mena figures out you and then has you downloaded!

Wish they hadn't muted EVO's audio at the end just to listen to themselves talk.
Some incredible reads and play on display!!! That ryuichi ken was a monster!! Amd shoutouts to mena playing so consistent when it matters
Bro Menards shows his experience man, guessing different moves and combos
Damn that first match with mena/ryu was sick..
mena rd. the goat right now
Of what? Eating?
eating rivals, after he beat themjust like Majin boo used to do😅 @intellectic9155

no real achievement in the weakest era of the game tho 😕

what pad does mena use?
Kakeru can use ED he have advantages in game except upper cut and jump but he have lots of combos and flickers can projectiles ❤
"the lighting is coming out of Mena's eyes. He's Aomine Daiki." comparing Aomine to Mena is so insanely apt
1:00:37 That was crazy.😄
JP mains really think alike huh.
The level of play is incredible
So fucking happy that Yipes and Joe commentating on this.

Mena is the GOAT for sure.
Not until he wins an actual evo.

I was about to complement the amazing commentary and give them all their praises until this young man, in all his wisdom, said “Lakers in 7.”
Copium
where is the premiation of the champion? incomplete video
El mejor del mundo, MenaRD, sigan llorando haters!!! 💪🇩🇴
MenaRD has Asians wanting to learn to speak Spanish 😂😂😂😂😂 Number 1 the Word 🥇 OP Dominican Republic 🇩🇴💯✅
The commentary was so off this time. Better job next time boys
We lucky we had one.. 7am.. overnight
MenaRD is the best in the world and it's not even close.
Bro! Riukichi and Moke was an absolute spectacle
Who would’ve thought that Blanka would win an Evo trophy
How much was the prize?
6k
About tree fiddy..
Even though the comments spoiled the ending, I couldn't have guessed that it would emd like THAT
YEAH MenaRD!!!! You are The Beast!
he really washed out kakeru cleanly, that's impressive
VXBAO should have played JP against kakeru from the start. He probably could have changed the outcome.
I like how Yipes wasn't having Joe's comparison to Justin's dominance in MVC2 lol
Yipes went to japan or was this commentated remotely?
Blanka in grand finals at evo japan is just BADASS!!!! that character soooOO HYPE
blanka is broken af
1:45:33 hahaha he totally regrets on the smile 😂
I can absolutely see Kakeru thinking "We JP how do we beat Blanka -- 100x iterations of loss" "K cool, ima look good taking 2nd then".
It feels like if it was just a training for Mena. Kakeru smashed Nuckledujo, but he couldn't move a fingers against Mena.
How many blank’s gonna start going online now?
Not many. He's like the hardest character to play. Menard is just really really good
anyone with eyes can see blanka is broken af
Congrats brother you deserve it
This dude Menard is too good at this game.
blanka is broken af
@@ScorpionF1RE_USA I get what you are saying but everyone has access to the same tool kit. It doesn't stop or negate Menard from being really good.
Mena just in another whole level man, dang!. What they gonna say now....

just take the throw

Kakeru deer in headlights
Mena is by far the sexiest in the fgc

Are the commentators drunk?😂😂
They Nerfed JP not knowing Blanka was S tier the whole time! Why do you think Nemo has changed to Blanka? S Tier, that's why!!!
Evo Events yall lazy af for uploading this w/o time stamps
Damn, Mena was NOT playing games!
The blanka main looks a bit like blanka.
I d like to fight Mena on first street fighter ...my ken would suck his blanka then i ll do car stage as reward 💪
Shout out to Foo Fighters cover out there!
Mena is a fucking god.
Wow they look so stressed after the match
Well that was kinda free 😕
1:22:27 This micro backwalk is fucking insane. unreal.
Mena was cooking
Great matches, but it's incredibly cringe to great LI Joe constantly crying about characters
Ngl finals was so not hype lol. It was just kakeru showing how badly sf6 rotted his brain and he couldn’t stop parrying
S/O Mena RD
Most annoying commentary I have ever heard
three commentators is so awkward
