***** Not unless it's prior to knockdown. Doing that shit mid/full screen will get you a first-class ticket to a dash straight or Machine Gun Blow. Or hell, U1.
+King Buffalo but most dudley's use corkscrew cross not rolling thunder. though Balrog's is a major threat at mid screen if punch version. Even a balrog super can knock Elena out of healing. I don't know if TAP does much though.
EatTheWorld well im not at all qualified to say, but in my opinion, I think chun li was a better choice than akuma for footsies and zone control against elena. :) but it is infiltration and I guess he has the most characters to choose than anybody else
Kuro Shinko The entire thing had to be my fave really. -Winners Finals where Infil takes a page from Strider and forces Momochi to switch. -Nemo's Rolento causing headaches for everyone just because _Rolento_. But was damn near masterful and just ran into Gamerbee who had answers. And the explosive set with AiAi who finally got it together after being BTFO by Infil in winners. -Grand Finals where I had confidence Bee was going to break Momochi's Ken (like he did in last year's EVO match up) but also incurred the wrath of a familiar demon: Evil Ryu. so damn memorable.
BludAardvark Gamerbee should hold his head high. He did technically beat Momochi. He reset the bracket. The guy must have been mentally exhausted by then, and then after everything to have Momochi switch to Evil Ryu...
Love these types of matches. Gamerbee playing incredibly patiently, never losing his cool, and it payed off. His spacing at the end was godly Infiltrations comeback at 20:45 was legendary too!
Man, This better be the match they show for Gamerbee's player profile, I don't care how stupid long it is. An absolute mental war of attrition. A Street Fighter game has a max of ~5 minutes and they managed to stretch 5 games to 30 minutes. Long thoughts about counterpicks, long rounds where losing focus could end your tournament life. I'm tired just watching it. Unless Capcup has some absolutely stunning games, this match will go down as best of the year for me, maybe my favourite set in SFIV's history (I've definitely come back and watched it more than any other).
***** ".All those fights with Elena was not nice to watch", could you explain this to the guys whooping this was the best evo matches ever? Because this match was actually horrible.
What an exhausting, emotional and brilliant match to watch, geez. Can only imagine what was going through these guys' heads with this much at stake! Really tense stuff.
this match was the one that secured my love for Street Fighter I picked up the game at the launch of Ultra and immediately was interested in Elena, but I knew she wasn't a good beginner character, and at that point she was considered pretty bad as well to my knowledge. Gamerbee always seemed like such a great guy to me, and seeing him make everyone realise that Elena was good was just so amazing. I can't remember who said it, but a commentator said during Evo that Gamerbee made it so that everyone had to have their main character, and then a pocket Elena, just because she was so strong. Watching this live was just so amazing, and I wish that something like this could happen again but with the state of SFV that seems unlikely
SFV was rough especially at launch and, while it got better as time went on, it never had the same hype as SFIV for me. SFVI however :) it's like a combination of USFIV and 3rd Strike and the most hype I've ever been for Street Fighter. Such an amazing game. With that and the newer Resident Evil games/remakes Capcom is really turning things around for the better and I couldn't be happier.
completely enthralled, never liked watching elena because of how hard it makes it for some characters in the matchup, but infiltration has every character in the game to choose from and it was just awesome for hi to show that great diversity throughout the top 8 both here and against momochi
I know what happens, i know how it ends, i notice the damn title. But when i watched this, i was hypnotized by both players. I FORGOT EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MATCH, Legendary game guys. You dudes ruled my F**King World!!
I can't really blame Gamerbee for the Elena play it's Capcom's fault really, but it was disgusting and no doubt she will be seeing nerfs sooner or later.
Wow. Years and years of boring street fighter players doing nothing but hadokens; and then GamerBee doesn't even have a fireball of his own, but just says "Go ahead. I'll be sitting over here when you're ready to fight." Shame that so many matches went to the timer though.
i dont know why everyone was cheering for gamerbee in the grand final. after i saw this match for the seconed time i realised that infiltration was a more deserving to be in the final.
1. Gamerbee deserved the win.2. Elena antifirespam tactic was brilliant and gratifying to see. 3. Infiltration Hugo versus SnakeEyez Zangief can be FAR more fully appreciated after seeing these matches. Favoriting.
What's the deal with Infiltration's Gouki folks ? His Gouki play is the most precise and beautiful play I've ever witnessed in this game. Gouki's last (Ultra) version is nerfed ?
So Juri has projectiles, so her neutral isn't too bad, and an incredible punish game when she has her ultra... I don't play SF, so could someone please tell me what her flaw is? Does she have one?
RiN she can't press some buttons when she has her fireballs charged meaning her pokes can be limited when she wants to hold on to fireballs, she has slightly lower health then normal. Her ultra is only really good if you manage to get on overhead/low since your opponent is gonna be very defensive when you use it and her ultra 2 isn't great. Also her projectile gets beat out by better projectile chars such as poison, sagat, guile. Overall she is a great character tho and was underplayed imo
her fireballs are all stores, her footsie game isn't simple like ryus her buttons are all situational, to punish and have optimal damage you need to have a fireball store which cripples her again because if she has her low fireball stored she cant tech throws, medium can't focus attack and heavy isnt good for combos. She also lacks a real reversal on wakeup playing her is really tough but once you get pass that barrier she can compete with the best characters but you can't telegraph your gameplan.
Now THIS was great to watch. Especially compared to the infamous Rose vs Sagat match. Also, if Elena seems to be widely considered as a low tier character, why does she get so much play? Is she merely a counterpick?
Shes not that good but shes not horrible her damage output is quite low compared to other character because alot of her main tool is jabs or a medium kick into a special. But she does do well in quite a few matchups in which adon fails in so shes there to sorta cover his ass in certain matchups in which he doesnt want to use adon in.
+Shin0bu Elena is not low tier. People just don't know how to use her. Especially her SFX/SF4 model. She can really kick ass. She's a black female and that's a taboo sterotype the fighting community doesn't accept yet.
Charlie Chang Except I still don't think she even looks black. She's just got dark skin. It's like, "Oh we'll have an African woman, and she's a princess, but she's got white hair, blue eyes, and the facial structure of... not African women." Or maybe I'm just ranting. But still....
A Gamer Aaron Yeah I'm gonna have to agree on that. Although IMO there are still a few minority representation issues in gaming, it's fully irrelevant here. People pick strong characters in tournaments because they want to win, not because the character happens to be white.
A Gamer Aaron That's your opinion. I never said anyone was racist. I just said that Elena is a rare type of character to fighting games, especially to the street fighter series being the only one, a black female with an interesting fighting style only using her feet. I'm not saying race is a reason people are neglecting her, but many people seem to not want to accept things that are different or new. Like RE5 due to the Africa thing, sales for the were poorly, and people couldn't see it actually had a good story. He asked why is Elena low tier, and I gave him a response which probably made him think that way, and why he's wrong.
confirmed: Healing does the most damage.
jherrenor Mentally

"I feel great!"
Mental damage. "If your opponent is easy to anger, seek to it"
This is probably the most engrossing USFIV match I have ever watched.
Genius play by both players.
Best commentary team too!
there's enough intelligence in this match to run a government
dantheman2238 Not the best comparison. Governments being notorious for being terribly inefficient and.. well, stupid.
But yeah, these guys are smart.
man, infiltration did not have enough fucking water. someone needed to give him a new damn bottle.
Infiltration lose because he ran out of water
+herman lau *booze
herman lau lmao so true
Lol!
one of the best evo matches ever!
*****
hell yes! :)
***** yea it was also super hype from all the gambling especially with the koreans and japanese lol
Maxim Lekov why he not pick akuma this year?
EatTheWorld well im not at all qualified to say, but in my opinion, I think chun li was a better choice than akuma for footsies and zone control against elena. :) but it is infiltration and I guess he has the most characters to choose than anybody else
Maxim Lekov I see... I throught he can do rushdown with akuma, but that not the case I think...
I dont even follow SF IV; that was fucking awesome though.
This is probably the best match in all of the top 8 in Evo 2015. It truly went down the line, to the final match.
Agreed. So good
Kuro Shinko The entire thing had to be my fave really.
-Winners Finals where Infil takes a page from Strider and forces Momochi to switch.
-Nemo's Rolento causing headaches for everyone just because _Rolento_. But was damn near masterful and just ran into Gamerbee who had answers. And the explosive set with AiAi who finally got it together after being BTFO by Infil in winners.
-Grand Finals where I had confidence Bee was going to break Momochi's Ken (like he did in last year's EVO match up) but also incurred the wrath of a familiar demon: Evil Ryu.
so damn memorable.
Kuro Shinko This is easily top 5 in greatest evo sets of all time imo. LOVE this set
BludAardvark Gamerbee should hold his head high. He did technically beat Momochi. He reset the bracket. The guy must have been mentally exhausted by then, and then after everything to have Momochi switch to Evil Ryu...
Cronos Gamerbee should have went to Elena when Momochi made the switch
Love these types of matches. Gamerbee playing incredibly patiently, never losing his cool, and it payed off. His spacing at the end was godly
Infiltrations comeback at 20:45 was legendary too!
Man, This better be the match they show for Gamerbee's player profile, I don't care how stupid long it is.

This match was LEGENDARY.
Street Fighter chess. These guys are predicting predictions by predicting the prediction. Great stuff.
Best EVO match I've seen this year....Im gonna miss EVO
*****.....I know that
good lord this top 8...
nypad5 ... was un-fucking believable
Guy Citron uhhh YES IT WAS! LOL.
nypad5 it was silly hard damn beasts all top 8
Infiltration: The Man with No Main.
Infiltration has a main. Its called Ultra Street Fighter 4.
what a main
冥粹滋油星人呆蛙溺死和红共儿 character you use always
@@dragonspeed99 yea what a man/main
Lol
"WE THOUGHT WE SAW THE LAST OF JURI"
I'll never forget that part (or many parts from this top 8).. SO HYPE!!!
Infiltration is such a nice guy and really fun to watch he is awesome !!
infiltration is such a cool guy
I have new from the future
@@hewhoinvadeshomes2272 he still cool 😎
THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!! Never felt this engaged in a fight since Gohan vs Cell lol
I was so happy to see Juri in top 8 from both AiAi and Infil!! Godlike top 8
lol, Infiltration even ran out of water.
That wasn't water that was soju.
Really hope Gamerbee comes back next year.
***** i dont... that elena tactic was bullshit.
COREY M That's a response to nothing but fireballs. I thought Infiltration was playing lame here.
***** ".All those fights with Elena was not nice to watch", could you explain this to the guys whooping this was the best evo matches ever? Because this match was actually horrible.
COREY M fanboys love fireball turtle style and hope their hero's opponent will jump in and give him a free win, classic.
***** I thought it was entertaining and hilarious how the crowd was booing him, but he was just there to win
This was by far the most grueling and epic set I've ever seen. So hype watching live
Snake Eyez v. Luffy was my favorite EVO match last year. This year, it's this one.
Every Year I watch this during Street Fighter V Evo, to remember the good years of Street Fighter.
Such a great match. Infil has definitely become my fave player.
Thanks for uploading.
this was the best EVO event i have witnessed in a long long time. Almost every match in winners/losers bracket was just fantastically played
Damn the struggle for Infiltration here! My mind was drained just watching!!!
*calmly*"...I don't know if I can take this James." lmao best line
Better than grand finals.
Classic match! History was made here.
Excellent match. I love watching high level plays.
This was so fun! I think I'm a SF fan now.
i watched this life. Man it was nerve wrecking, def. one of the best matches.
(my opinion) this was without a doubt the best match in SF history, the grand finals was a bit messy, but still good!
What an exhausting, emotional and brilliant match to watch, geez. Can only imagine what was going through these guys' heads with this much at stake! Really tense stuff.
Whew, I'm exhausted after that. Great battle
im fucking sweating
this match was the one that secured my love for Street Fighter
I picked up the game at the launch of Ultra and immediately was interested in Elena, but I knew she wasn't a good beginner character, and at that point she was considered pretty bad as well to my knowledge. Gamerbee always seemed like such a great guy to me, and seeing him make everyone realise that Elena was good was just so amazing. I can't remember who said it, but a commentator said during Evo that Gamerbee made it so that everyone had to have their main character, and then a pocket Elena, just because she was so strong.
Watching this live was just so amazing, and I wish that something like this could happen again but with the state of SFV that seems unlikely
SFV was rough especially at launch and, while it got better as time went on, it never had the same hype as SFIV for me. SFVI however :) it's like a combination of USFIV and 3rd Strike and the most hype I've ever been for Street Fighter. Such an amazing game. With that and the newer Resident Evil games/remakes Capcom is really turning things around for the better and I couldn't be happier.
20:39 The stuff of legend. If Infiltration had eaten that mallet smash or not done some hard reads there, it was gg. Great comeback.
completely enthralled, never liked watching elena because of how hard it makes it for some characters in the matchup, but infiltration has every character in the game to choose from and it was just awesome for hi to show that great diversity throughout the top 8 both here and against momochi
felt like 2 hours
this was the best EVO of all time in my opinion!
infiltration is one of the best usf4 players in the world
(The)best
I know what happens, i know how it ends, i notice the damn title. But when i watched this, i was hypnotized by both players. I FORGOT EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MATCH, Legendary game guys. You dudes ruled my F**King World!!
Longest FT3 in the history of fighting games! 30min o_O
Can we get this in Guinness world records?
Elena build so much meter from her block strings/hit confirms.
I felt exhausted just fom watcing
I can't really blame Gamerbee for the Elena play it's Capcom's fault really, but it was disgusting and no doubt she will be seeing nerfs sooner or later.
123eldest I don't blame Gamerbee because Infiltration was playing lame as fuck with the fireballs. Gamerbee forced him to actually come in and fight.
She never got nerfs, bro.
this video should already have 1 million views.
Wow. Years and years of boring street fighter players doing nothing but hadokens; and then GamerBee doesn't even have a fireball of his own, but just says "Go ahead. I'll be sitting over here when you're ready to fight." Shame that so many matches went to the timer though.
what happen to infiltration's akuma?
healing forever
And the other guy was spamming kikoken forever. So?
Through my eyes this was the grand Finals epic match.
Infiltration is just awesome
This is my favourite tournament set from any Street Fighter game. Elena was so underrated in Ultra.
fk it, I still recall this match so lively, missed Infiltration so much.
you know what is crazy? Infiltration's Chun has a very similar gameplay of his Nash in SFV... kind interessant to see that now
best match of the tournament!!!
Wow...what a rugged brawl!!!
Damn this was good
19:20 activates feng shui but it doesn't matter because Elena is already on some next level shit. Elena in constant feng shui x4.
i dont know why everyone was cheering for gamerbee in the grand final. after i saw this match for the seconed time i realised that infiltration was a more deserving to be in the final.
THE BEST MATCH EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone tell me what Juri costume is that in the last game? I haven't seen it before.
omg bring this hype to SFV
1. Gamerbee deserved the win.2. Elena antifirespam tactic was brilliant and gratifying to see. 3. Infiltration Hugo versus SnakeEyez Zangief can be FAR more fully appreciated after seeing these matches. Favoriting.
Been long for this match for a minute such an intense match oh god
Que disputa tensa!
That was insane!!
What's the deal with Infiltration's Gouki folks ? His Gouki play is the most precise and beautiful play I've ever witnessed in this game. Gouki's last (Ultra) version is nerfed ?
delayed getup kills vortex akuma (infiltration). look how much tokido had to evolve
OmG!!! is Jimmy de Santa from gta V on comments??
so infiltration put gamerbee in loser bracket and now he faces him? LOL i suppose gamerbee learns fast?
Gamer bee suppose to win that year I was rooting for him
I'm not good at fighting games at all, but I have to say chucking fireballs all match is pretty boring. It's nice to see that it can be countered.
Infiltration is always a class act.
Amazing set
Infiltration shows the best sportsmanship. He pats Gamerbee on the back like "you got it!"
That's dope
The commentators are the BEST!
Wow! I'm exhausted after watching those matches!
Infiltration always uses a character that throws some kind of fireballs.
Gotta love these two guys
So Juri has projectiles, so her neutral isn't too bad, and an incredible punish game when she has her ultra... I don't play SF, so could someone please tell me what her flaw is? Does she have one?
Adon, apparently
lol
RiN she can't press some buttons when she has her fireballs charged meaning her pokes can be limited when she wants to hold on to fireballs, she has slightly lower health then normal. Her ultra is only really good if you manage to get on overhead/low since your opponent is gonna be very defensive when you use it and her ultra 2 isn't great. Also her projectile gets beat out by better projectile chars such as poison, sagat, guile. Overall she is a great character tho and was underplayed imo
okay thanks :)

Insane match
That was great.
What happened on the character selection screen before he picked juri?
new to this obv
***** Alright, I see.
Just wasnt sure^^
Now THIS was great to watch. Especially compared to the infamous Rose vs Sagat match.
Also, if Elena seems to be widely considered as a low tier character, why does she get so much play? Is she merely a counterpick?

16:50 That spectator between those two players is having fun with smoke thingy.
this was amazing
GG. Real Pro players
Out of breath just watching this!
this is amazing
Legendary matches.
Anyone else notice the fire breathing nerd at 15:53?
Awesome!!
I was insomnia till I watched this match
29 minutes of not being able to breath! holy fuck!
juriii awesome
People complained about how cheap Elena healing is but if Infiltration would stop throwing fireballs she wouldn't build 3 every round lol
Classic match!
