For me my world wide top 5 for Season 2 is 1. Punk(1st EVO, CEO) 2. XiaoHai(1st EWC, top 8 at EVO, 2nd at UFA) 3. Mena(1st EVO Japan, 1st RBK NY, 1st Cream City) 4. Big Bird(1st Dreamhack Summer, 2nd at EVO) 5. Gachikun(1st Dreamhack Dallas, top 24 at EVO) Japan specifically I got Momochi(This mf got the best win rate in SFLJ) Gachi Hikaru Tachikawa but something tells me Leshar might be the legit strongest guy in Japan rn
Mena’s EVO japan W i think is the 3rd or 2nd most reputable/highly regarded of the year imo. Idk, punk’s EVO win just hits different while using Cammy just simple straight forward mechanic, honest character, yet Punk was outplaying everybody he faced. I think it goes like this for events importance/significance: 1. EVO 2. EWC/Capcom Cup 3. Evo Japan
punk, xiaohai, gachikun, big bird, and mena imo, but tachikawa, end and leshar are all up for that top 5 convo. Zhen has also been super consistent. but he need to win a major tbh
@@redbloodreaver4935 KOF has been not that competitive for years. Even 3rd or MVC has more participants than it. SF scene has many winners from the other games like GG, DBF, etc. It's not that special. KOF has the least participants along 8 fighting games in EVO 2024.
Punk won CEO and EVO, he's the only guy here to have a major and a super major, how tf is XiaoHai no.1 coming off a smaller tourney in UFA and a Invitational in EWC? Punk is no.1 here and its not close.
As a Chun main, Leshar leaving her for Ed broke my heart….lol. I TOTALLY get it, but it still gets me down. Seeing him play Chun like he did was such an inspiration.
I think the problem with ken is that corner carry and the way he force your drive gauge with standing fierce, they are in mode just do it and not always cant guess right against him
St HP, hadouken, run step kick, run overhead, dragonlash, cr MK, st HK. Honestly it's not that bad still. Parry stops a lot of those, and HP and HK are easy to whiff punish.
Not to discount daigos opinion or say hes wrong or say that your wrong for following it but daigos word isnt gospel he's been wrong about tons of things in the past before which doesnt take away from being a phenomenal player but just because he says something doesn't make it true. Like how he thought elena was low tier in sf4 on her release
@@anarking5764 Daigo’s opinion isn’t absolute, and you might be right. However, I wasn’t trying to give a definitive answer. I just wanted to say that both Angry Bird and Big Bird are amazing players.
I agree, but I think he's missing some sort of clutch factor. I don't know what it is but I have a hard time seeing him winning a tourney, even though I straight up expect him to make top 8 at every event.
Top 5 JPN Players imo (Leshar not included, cuz he is KR player, definitely the best KR player though) 1. Momochi 2. Tachikawa 3. Kakeru 4. Higuchi 5. Gachikun
Is it me or has Leshar decided to relinquish qualifying for capcom cup? He hasn’t played in either South Korea or Japan CPT warriors. Nor has he gone to any premiers
It really scares me how easily people were persuaded about Ken. The consensus was he was top when the game came out and people stuck with that and won’t change their mind. If people are that easily persuaded, and are that hard to change their mind then we’re doomed as a society. I’ve never seen a character be pushed to be number one so hard and their not winning tournament like that. It’s weird.
It's decision fatigue. Its been going around since the beginning of time. People learn something when its new and exciting and then still have that opinion despite things changing. The problem is how quickly games change, the average passerby cant keep up. Regardless, this is more online gaming moving faster than people care to keep up with, but we all like to go online and speak an opinion we deem harmless for a sense of belonging. You are equating society to a game that %1 of the world is even aware of. A person who barely plays thinks Ken is good. So what?
@@Dr_Leo_Dude-ss4mu that’s exactly what it is. It’s a known strategy use by different countries to make their people disengage and give up. It’s crazy to see it happened in real time in the FGC. I’m looking at like tournament results in the and it doesn’t lineup at all with what they were saying yet they swear by it and attacked anyone that said anything different. It was alarming to say the least. To your final point, a person who doesn’t play doesn’t matter, but when I Legion of people who don’t place at the highest level, have a voice, they can drastically change the game for the worst . Basically people making decisions who aren’t truly informed can be extremely dangerous. I don’t want my surgery to be decided by a democracy of people who don’t know where they’re doing.
@@Commonsens8 This is true you know...even other FGC content creators were criticizing the Birds and Daigo when they said that Ken wasn't the top character. They were saying that they were downplaying their character so he doesn't get nerfed etc. It's quite interesting.
@@reggiemoore755 Ken is one of the most played characters in the world. If he was top-tier and played as much as he is, he should be winning everything and he is not. He has more chances to win than most characters and he still not winning that says a lot.
Big Bird is right, Ken is not better than either Akuma and Ryu, all three classic shotos are well balanced. Ken has no DR overhead, and can only cr. Jab twice. His run stance and optimal corner play such as Jinrai loops require more execution than the other two. His cr. Forward is 1 frames faster, but less distance in hitbox vs. Akuma. And Ken sucks at zoning, I get clipped even with OD FB. The S2 change makes meaty st. Fierce much more difficult to time, there’s no frame kill in the corner. You need a very methodical corner game with Ken in order to win. He’s a popular character, and is always highly picked in every iteration. And therefore most ppl have abundant MU knowledge, huge downside to Ken.
Esta gente esta mal 🤣🤣🤣 shaohai solo gano un torneo y antes de eso era un muerto igusl que leshar . Menard es y sera el numero 1 mientras la ignorancia los arrope 🤏
Before he won ewc he was consistent. Look, he got evo 9th place at sf6, and then he won ewc, then got 2nd place. UFA, he is definitely one of the strongest players right now.
@@albertovloger7332mena is one of the strongest because he literally won a big tournament to qualify and he did it with a 4 month zangief he literally shitted on everyone on the winners side only lost to the dual kevin reset but then did a 3-0 back to winnthe tournament
pro players opinions aren’t law i go from wot i see not wots said. an from i’ve seen tokido still plays ken an he doesn’t play characters that aren’t strong or nerfed.
@@PGO_Gaming Bro, I was only making a joke. I am not even calling them gay or anything. It’s just funny that’s all. It’s like when couples have a the same facebook page, lol. It’s not meant to be taken seriously.
He is exactly where he is because he didn’t win any big one, he is certainly not in top ten, top 20 maybe, and losing to daigo and problem x in France didn’t help.
@@Indiana-r9bnah he's top ten just wait for him to win one big tournament and he'll be in a flow state. at the moment in raw talent he's probably top 5, just way too stressed in tournament setting
Yo that gargalon bit cracked me up.
Never change Amjad.
“Who’s Gargalon?” 😭
😂😂😂
What is this Gargalon? What is this 😂
@@ismaeljrp1yea wtf is it? Sounds like some zoomer bullshit
@@ismaeljrp1 Gargalon deez nuts
bigbird should have replied gargalon? DEEEEEZZZZ NUUUTSSSSS!!!!!!
Bro was ready to parry the Gargalon joke lol
In SFL JP, the audiences did mention Leshar might be the strongest in that league. Close to compete would be Hikaru, but Hikaru has yet to make a name for himself enough to be considered among top players. Win something is what Hikaru need now
According to the stats Momochi has won the most matches in SFL JP…. Btw what tournament has Leshar won this year?
EWC LCQ
I like the unedited vibes - and it gives you more time to practice and focus on what matters. but that being said, sometimes it'd be nice to get the other side of the conversation, like seeing what you're answering, or translations when necessary

I wouldn't worry about it. It's never anything important when they speak in Arabic
Ah I remember the legendary player from back in the day. Gargalon
Bro angrybird and Kusanagi were having an all out parry OS war in the background lmao. Insanely high level
For me my world wide top 5 for Season 2 is
1. Punk(1st EVO, CEO)
2. XiaoHai(1st EWC, top 8 at EVO, 2nd at UFA)
3. Mena(1st EVO Japan, 1st RBK NY, 1st Cream City)
4. Big Bird(1st Dreamhack Summer, 2nd at EVO)
5. Gachikun(1st Dreamhack Dallas, top 24 at EVO)
Japan specifically I got
Momochi(This mf got the best win rate in SFLJ)
Gachi
Hikaru
Tachikawa
but something tells me Leshar might be the legit strongest guy in Japan rn
Yup! If youre going to count the non international supermajor, frosty faustings XVI and WCG Rivals are Punk’s runner up events this year
Mena’s EVO japan W i think is the 3rd or 2nd most reputable/highly regarded of the year imo. Idk, punk’s EVO win just hits different while using Cammy just simple straight forward mechanic, honest character, yet Punk was outplaying everybody he faced. I think it goes like this for events importance/significance:
1. EVO
2. EWC/Capcom Cup
3. Evo Japan
Watch Leshar vs Shuto, it's so scary.
The language switch up will always be cool
punk, xiaohai, gachikun, big bird, and mena imo, but tachikawa, end and leshar are all up for that top 5 convo. Zhen has also been super consistent. but he need to win a major tbh
What happened to kakeru? Seems he fell off a cliff or something haven't really seen him at tournaments lately
@@GeneralThunderbolt he was in a bit of character crisis, but hopefully the jp buffs will do him right
Insane that Xiaohai is at the pinnacle of two games
@@GeneralThunderbolt he came second in topanga and won the first cpt japan

5:04 Appeciate the callout BB!
1 - XiaoHai 2 - Punk 3 - AngryBird 4 - BigBird 5 - DCQ... actually this is impossible to tell... the top 20 players are all very similar skill
They didnt say menard?
@@phaze12490 not this season
1 punk
2 xiao hai
imo
Punk won CEO and EVO, he's the only guy here to have a major and a super major, how tf is XiaoHai no.1 coming off a smaller tourney in UFA and a Invitational in EWC?
Punk is no.1 here and its not close.
SF6 in a nutshell, the skill ceiling is so low the top players are basically interchangeable among the top 10 or top 20.
Man the birds to fun to watch and hear them thoughts bout the game

@@lw1094 true. But he put in work last time
Where is DSP EVO 2005 SFIIT 4th place winner? Or LTG?
Intro had me rolling lmaooo
Ya'll going to ignore kobayan the toppanga champ which was this year
I guess he just needs to enter more events to build the reputation
He doesn't have any other results
KEEP IT UP!
Most Japanese pro players say that Big Bird is the strongest overseas player, but Daigo says it’s Angry Bird.

I agree, but I think he's missing some sort of clutch factor. I don't know what it is but I have a hard time seeing him winning a tourney, even though I straight up expect him to make top 8 at every event.
im not sure for top 5 but top 10 yea. top 5 i'd say punk, gachikun, xiao hai, mena and maybe tachikawa
new sub here!- yal got good vids fellas, thx
It's me.
I'm the top 5 players.
1 punk
2 xiaohai
3 Mena
4 Angrybird
5 Gachikun/ Big Bird
I want to see Big Bird vs Gachikun in tournament. The ultimate Rashid mirror.
It's so hard to call a top 5. It feels like in any tournament, I could call at least 3 favourites.
xiaohai definitely gotta be top 5 with his recent form i think
When did leshar said chun is boring to play? did he said it on a stream or tweet?
Bruh said the whole game is obnoxious i love it 😂
Did he say similar to that Diddy thing? LMAO
Lemmie find out aluma can fullscreen demon on fireball reaction 😂😂😂
C'mon guys I need the top 20
I wonder what sticks the birds use :0
Angrybird “Demon-ed” the hell out of kusanagi!!😂🤣😂🤣
Top 5 JPN Players imo (Leshar not included, cuz he is KR player, definitely the best KR player though)
1. Momochi
2. Tachikawa
3. Kakeru
4. Higuchi
5. Gachikun
nemo?
Bro did not put higuchi and kakeru over tokido and kawano
Hikaru will go in there instead of Tachikawa.
gachikun and tachikawa should be first and second i think. and then momochi
thats my opinion tho
@@nurannahadiislam7940 it was a tough choice okay 😂. I want to put both of them too
To be a pro it seems you only need to enforce your game plan .. and always be active. Some times i just want to chill
