Doki is actually the archetype of player I struggle with the most. They're just having a GREAT TIME doing RANDOM ASS SHIT, cackling. And me, a new player legitimately trying to be better just gets smoked because you can't read an empty book. But spectating it from the 3rd person? Greatest time of my life.
Those players are hard to deal with at first, yet they are not an empty book. You can learn to read them if you don't treat them like one. Gotta change your model of what's supposed to be happening to fit your opponent.
Against players like doki i just go on the defensive and make them play the game i want them to play. Like, i play Ryu, so i just start zoning them. Sooner or later they will start to close to gap with jumping through the hadokens. When they are close enough i shoryuken them. Or they parry it, i start closing the gap and when i’m close enough i just rush at them and put them in a throw loop. Etc. Is it boring as all hell? Yeah, but i rather win like this than to try to outrandom them and just piss myself off and lose.
@@Sundergart^^^ this , you’re not the superior new player trying to ‘play right’ playing against a unreadable machine. you’re just not there yet to pick up the patterns and beat the committal options, which is all good
Keep your chin up! Your record was actually really respectable! Really enjoyed watching your Luke! I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience watching myself play, haha. Remember to not count yourself out, and don't talk down about yourself! You're a really solid player!
I saw the Doki v/s Gumi clip a few days ago and learn about the Sajam Slam thing. Then I saw Justin Wong coaching Doki and that was fun too. Yesterday I watched Doki streaming the whole thing and Team Brian_F was a riot to listen too. Being good team mates wheter they lost or won the encounter. Thanks for organizing the tournament, it was a lot of fun, and now I am looking forward to tomorrow.
1:55:35 "Wow, I didn't even know you could do that" This is everyone in almost every Doki match, she always manage to do some crazy stuff, she's so fun to watch. 1:57:27 Is another clear example of this.
@@SoberRamen it is but it gets called out so hard, its not a good habit to have early. Used to do it a lot until i ran into people who would DR instead of another fireball and they *will* hurt you for it. Dont do it to guile, do it less to Ryu/Ken and even less to Akuma. Never to rashid or Juri either but i see great success with it vs Aki at far range. The lash follow up can get you too though
@@aaronmontoya2518 also, I totally started doing this day 1 with gief in 6 cause my brain said "Didn't people use this to dodge fireballs in like.... ST?" And it worked so I was happy. I'm also 33.... fuck
As a blanka player, I just know that whenever Gumi does 6HP where she falls forward attacking with her arms out, she’s trying to do blanka ball with not enough charge.
He was right though. New College Football, Madden, and WoW came out leading up to the Slam. All those distractions definitely ate up training time that could have helped.
@@kurtis_schmurtisdon’t get why you sign up for a team event then not practice at all. I guess it’s diff if it’s a solo event and you don’t really care but feels a lot weirder for an event where you have people depending on you
Why the hell would you sign up for a team tournament that is mostly for fun and not practice. If it was for a brand deal and you just wanted a paychecckc then sure. It's just wild and really glad Sajam put him on blast lol
I don’t understand if you guys are actually serious or not but Esfand actually did practice about the same amount as all the other people at least in his skill bracket. Across both his main and alt channel it looks like he’s streamed about a total of 26 hours of street fighter in the last week which I wouldn’t say is not putting in any practice at all. He’s kinda just a freak and streams a shit ton of both hours and variety and probably just isn’t that good at fighting games
Bro the huntress v. Infernasu set was so fucking hype. Super clutch from infernasu. Its crazy i can watch this for free. Seriously amazing stuff to all the players and sajam along with all the people working on the tournament
1:57:22 "if she grabs the scissor kick, I'm gonna end stream" And oh did she grab that scissor kick. This woman is crazy. Edit:"Erm akshually☝️🤓" Look bros, I'm not as hard into fighting games than you guys. Cut me some slack for not knowing what shit is called.
This is awesome, I love it. Thanks for getting it on to YT so fast. Small note: I wish the overlay didn't cover the control mode. Keep up the great work!
two things i wish they could change for the next one, 1.) the graphics covering modern or classic could literally be moved a little to the center , it would look more aligned and clean and wouldnt cover it . 2.) the inputs on the side although its cool but very distracting, it doesnt feeel like you are watching a tournment but rather a reply, takes the immersion out of it.
@@iDrKx oh those I thought the players themselves turned them on and off and the viewer/spectators of the match couldn't change that especially since on some matches they weren't there but yeah those are a Lil distracting
@@kanyeeast42033 i think it feels weird for the more experienced players, but seeing the new players throw everything at the wall is entertaining in itself
As someone following esfand’s prep, hate to say that I’m not surprised at his record. Hope he gets inspired to make a comeback on Friday. Edit after day 2: esfand whyyyyyyyyy?
2:36:28 I can't believe the level of mind games happening at this level of play already. Actually really well played to Gumi cuz I would deff fall for this as som1 who's prob slotted around the tier 2 (scarra, etc.) of skill in FGs
Sajam Slam continues to be fun across games; ur building an institution! It’s amazing how all these new players develop in only a week! Love some of the rivalries from past slams too haha And appreciate that u r keeping it grassroots and inclusive ❤pls make masks required at the live portion of the event.
9:11 so like, the streak breaking and disconnecting is out of like... Being evil, but applying one and done to everyone regardless she said something like "I don't farm you, you don't farm me, we fight once and we move on" (a part of me however can't help but notice that like the more "traditional" idol type, corpo vtubers with big audiences usually apply the one and done policy for most of the online games they play if they don't plan to play regularly because some people might have gotten the game to play with and or against them even if they're just queuing into random matches so there might be something there? But that might be reading too hard into it) 21:11 nah c'mon man I'm 24 don't do me like that 😭

Up for some Grand Bruise?!

The Tekken sajam was really fun you should check out the last slam, doki was there too

Foreshadowing is a narrative device...
1:54:05 LETS GO WITH THE DOKIZEMI
Need some repairs, my coach is too cracked
thx for only showing my wins
Good shit ronshy
@@RedRiotRoss They were good wins!
Love your dee jay dude, super entertaining
I love your rushdown mixing Dee Jay, It feels very unique and refreshing, I hope you have blast doing that because it definitly looks fun to play.
I'm 38 and totally got called out on my Gief lariats.
I'm a new player but trying out zagief, I use lariat also. I think the game teach you the move is anti fireball.
@@SoberRamen it is but it gets called out so hard, its not a good habit to have early.

To be fair to Brawlpro, he was burned out. It was a decent way to avoid chip from fireballs.
Sajam Slam Moment #37
1:57:27
As a blanka player, I just know that whenever Gumi does 6HP where she falls forward attacking with her arms out, she’s trying to do blanka ball with not enough charge.
1:57:27 DOKI IS IN ANOTHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE
Nah, she’s just in the 2d plane 😂
I genuinely almost choked I just instinctively gasped and inhaled so much water
I don't care what the score says, Brian_F hitting THE COMBO on Shine means he won.
Moral victory
Between Brian hitting it and Shine's own team members becoming slightly obsessed with it, that combo is becoming Shine's mortal enemy lol
I took a look at the team brian pov and my prediction was right, the vibes were immaculate
i love brians teams so much they're all so goofy but they pull off the wildest things
Yes! Brine's team has made this event so enjoyable for me. I didnt know who everyone was, but they've all been great. 😊
literally the 1st match and it's already peak cinema.
18:26 Sajam throwing shade 😂 "He's been practicing a lot of Madden"
He was right though. New College Football, Madden, and WoW came out leading up to the Slam. All those distractions definitely ate up training time that could have helped.
@@kurtis_schmurtisdon’t get why you sign up for a team event then not practice at all. I guess it’s diff if it’s a solo event and you don’t really care but feels a lot weirder for an event where you have people depending on you

I genuinely got confused until i realized that Sajam is Sajam after waiting for Jiyuna to hop on call for a whole minute after hitting this timestamp
Bro the huntress v. Infernasu set was so fucking hype. Super clutch from infernasu. Its crazy i can watch this for free. Seriously amazing stuff to all the players and sajam along with all the people working on the tournament
1:57:22 "if she grabs the scissor kick, I'm gonna end stream" And oh did she grab that scissor kick. This woman is crazy.
Edit:"Erm akshually☝️🤓" Look bros, I'm not as hard into fighting games than you guys. Cut me some slack for not knowing what shit is called.
Actually, if you look at the inputs, they both jumped
Complete accident
@@Stankemlet me correct that for you…
completely planned (totally)
If you check Doki's POV (stream), she literally goes "--cuz she won't stop jumping."
She didn't...
So glad to see Eskay putting on such a strong performance. I started rooting for her as soon as I heard of her wild training methods.
I still love how doki cant play 2p while playing modern
It's all psychological too. After seeing her matches, she plays just fine on P2 side lol
This is the SF I want to see more of, sliver ranks like myself 💪🏿😁
Gumi was on a mission! That mission was to beat Doki.
rynge was great on the commentary. good find, haven't seen him since the among us streams
rynge is literally everywhere big dawg
i close my eyes and i can still see the luxurious hair glistening in the wind
@@whizthesugoiBrag about it why don't you
Brilliant event. This is truly peak internet content. At home you can tune in to all three feeds and then some.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad you got Rynge to do commentary with you on this. Been listening to this guy do commentary since UMvC3 at the Runback.
Doki eatin' the karma out here.
I'm soooo impressed with Eskay! Good stuff!
I really love seeing the inputs during the tournament, I wish professional tournaments did the same honestly.
This is awesome, I love it. Thanks for getting it on to YT so fast. Small note: I wish the overlay didn't cover the control mode. Keep up the great work!
3:06:07 Results/Current standings
Shoutout to Esfand and Automattock for going 0-5
two things i wish they could change for the next one,
1.) the graphics covering modern or classic could literally be moved a little to the center , it would look more aligned and clean and wouldnt cover it .
2.) the inputs on the side although its cool but very distracting, it doesnt feeel like you are watching a tournment but rather a reply, takes the immersion out of it.
Inputs on the side?
@Dpsdark input history from the spectator view they mean probably (it's on atm)
@@iDrKx yes the input history , it feels weird thats on .
@@iDrKx oh those I thought the players themselves turned them on and off and the viewer/spectators of the match couldn't change that especially since on some matches they weren't there but yeah those are a Lil distracting

This Roy dude be Cracked
Honestly, doki had it coming against gumi
Imagine every pro Gief player watching any of Doki's plays be like:
"Hmm, interesting. I wonder if I can do that move too."
If I ever hit an air SPD on frame 3 of a jump I'm going to retire. Her brain is the biggest in the world
A bird catching a jumping Bison, this is some spirit animal level matchup
INFERNASU MY GOAT I BELIVE IN TEAM SHINE
M1 DEMON🔥🔥🔥
This is just a really fun tournament to watch. Especially after seeing team Brian’s training vids
KANNA SWEEP
Goddamn, this was so hype straight from round 1. Great job with the teams, it's cool to see some of them getting carried by the low level players.
I think I enjoy the beginners' games 😂, they are so relatable😅
Stoner Sajam: "Alright everybody is it gonna toke?"
Hey alright
This has been a really cool event so far. GJ on setting it up.
As someone following esfand’s prep, hate to say that I’m not surprised at his record. Hope he gets inspired to make a comeback on Friday.
Edit after day 2: esfand whyyyyyyyyy?
hes playing surprisingly well despite his prep
It's kind of lame that he signed up but doesn't seem to care. Either way I'm hype for all the people playing
Not Eskay pulling out the safe jump
man sajam slam is getting more and more fun all the time!
I always like seeing how much millage modern gets in tournaments like this
it makes it so much easier for new players
Sajam: "Stop getting hyped for grapplers."
Also Sajam: "LETS GO DOKI WOOOO!"
MY GOAT INFER I BELIEVE
this is to much fun to watch!
YOOOOO THE ONE AND DONE
TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT
LETS GO VIVI 🎉
This should be a month long process where the teams match up each weekend. It would be interesting to watch people progress from week to week.
that blanka lvl 1 on the doll, killed me🤣
Only day 1 and it’s a peak Slam already
Having highlights of this would be lovely btw
We’ll probably end up getting highlights of everything once the event is over
Justin's coaching has made Doki one of the best geif players I've seen in awhile
2:36:28 I can't believe the level of mind games happening at this level of play already. Actually really well played to Gumi cuz I would deff fall for this as som1 who's prob slotted around the tier 2 (scarra, etc.) of skill in FGs
JB looked absolutely soulcrushed after losing to Diaphone
I feel called out with the lariat through fireball
1:57:20 "If she grabs the Scissor Kick I'm gonna scream."
.... Meanwhile... Eight seconds later...
def rooting for brian f team
Let’s go Jack Jesus!
Jack Jesus is LazyMattMan. He doesn't play in this slam.
@@GerBessa Let’s go Jack Jesus!
@@GerBessa Jack jesus will rise on sunday

W infernasu man
one and done is some winquit tech from green hagrid
Brawlpro with the pakistani flag is sending me
Infer the goat
Kanna let's gooo!!!
amazing tournament
Came for Doki, staying for the action an commentary
1:19:35 "Fighting games are basically horror games" Rynge you're so right
i love how lilypichu only picks characters who names are Lily 😂
23:40 the *heck* was that double crossup maneuver?!????!?!?
PASSA TUDO
Aight who taught Doki to play like this, Brian? That's not ok, she's on some other shit I'm so here for it.
Oh yeah ... I know what im watching at work
INFERNASSUUUUUUUUU
This is so awesome
Lets goo
AutoMattock into JB has got to be the unluckiest matchup in the tournament. Playing one of the 12 former Jamie mains on the planet.
When sajam says esfand it sounds like he's saying nettspend
Eskay the type to walk into math class day 1 and open the book to chapter 25
Sajam Slam continues to be fun across games; ur building an institution! It’s amazing how all these new players develop in only a week! Love some of the rivalries from past slams too haha And appreciate that u r keeping it grassroots and inclusive ❤pls make masks required at the live portion of the event.
That was a BLAST!!
TEAM BRIAN! Lets GO!
Good to see Rynge got drunk before starting.
W INFER
Roychiato about to get Jamie nerfed.
Edit: nvm JB and Diaphone got us covered
No judgment to Koefficient, still I feel Hermanoski would be a cuter Broski reference
We be Slammin'
So what we’ve learned is esfand literally was a massive detriment to his team and didn’t practice at all
Lets goooo boyz
dokigief is naaaaaasty

she started sometimes offering rematches
just never on win streaks
This is ridiculous lmaooo
I am praying for guest appearance of yipes commentary 🙏
I love this lol
3 hours bro???? Bet
seeing rynge reminds me of magic pixel .. did they ever finished it or just drop it ?
WOOOOO! GO INFERNASU!!
