For me theres so many moves and characters that I get kinda lost lol. I mean i play sophitia and siegfried so I def understand them. In mk you see the same strings a lot so eventually you learn why theyre doing what they are doing.
Never got into fighting games but in a noobs eye, SC looks like it has more fluid animation and overall gameplay than Tekken. It just looks so fuckn smooth.
at @12:55 the shaking hand. My god the pressure of competing at this level in front of a crowd. Mad respect my hands would absolutely ignore my brain lol
The whole SCVI tourney was decent but the grand finals battle was fantastic! Both players gave us a brilliant show. There's only one NO - this amazing game needs much more players and popularity
I lost interest after SC 4. Same happened with Tekken after Tekken 5. Not been into Toshinden since Toshinden 2. Only fighting game franchise that I am still to this day even more hyped for than ever is Mortal Kombat.
i mean they kinda ruined the game with the horrible online at start, i legit stopped playing cuz i was getting 90% laggy or low rank players... and then there is RE, still an amazing game tho
I wanted Richsticks' Maxi to take the dub **cry** congrats to Linkorz though he looked so defeated at one point but he came back and did his thing like a true champion
I get people always root for the underdog, but Linkorz looks like such a nice, sportsman like dude, I'm surprised the crowd hates him so much, unless there's drama offscreen I'm not aware of.
Linkorz have been winning majority of the major tournaments in SC6 and has been on a tear lately. The crowd doesnt hate him. In fact he has a lot of fans in the community. They just want to see a new champ or someone legit challenging his dominance.
@@llama2022 he IS dlc, that's my point. Usually I hate seeing dlc over powered characters win anything, but in this case, I was ok with it, which I find strange
Can someone explain how he managed to do such a combo at 9:23? I know I'm late to the party but I just picked up this game on sale and haven't been into sc since sc4
It pisses me off how many people are saying Siegfried is op and whatnot, he is literally twice as weak and slow than when he was Nightmare in SC2, there his 4A- 33A- NBSR B does 133 damage in just 3 hits and his powerful single attacks do as much as Haohmaru, every time I go back to 2's Nightmare after playing Sieg in 6 I'm literally unstoppable. Seems to me with each game the faster characters are getting more OP and the slower ones are consistently butchered.
Don't know this scene or people and could tell biased toward richstick's leave bias at home when commentating thanks.. takes away from the match when you secretly cheer for one guy..
Linkorz usually wins these high level tournaments so to see him on the brink of losing is refreshing, a high level maxi player, and the fact we saw a reset happen for grand finals
@@yvesgomes Sad. One of my favorite things with Seigfried is that attack. I mainly use Astaroth(Who is utter crap but what can I do?) but Seigfried is a close second
Only applies to break attacks and when soul charged ex: nightmares sword drill doesnt chip unless hes soul charged... And some moves drain soul meter which will chip
I am a tekken player on steam, and when I see these matches I truly want to learn this game, but damn is hard to learn as a tekken player. Anyone recommends a good maxi player to learn from?
When are they gonna come out with the next stage after this whenever everything dies is supposed to end stage or whatever theres room for another stage another circle that you can select on the screen where you select the stages to fight i think on the right side i think this one is on the left this is the 12th one when are they gonna come out with the 13th stage???
Love sc6 great to see it played properly shame online it's full of scrubs who learn 4 moves and reapeat 4 moves never even use combos or play the game to the full potential..... Too many scrubs spamming ruin sc6 when it's such a great game.
Dracorex0 yes and no. You can play Akuma and Geese in Tekken. You can zone with your fireballs, but it’s not the bnb of your strategy. 3D fighters are more based in spacing. You can see in this match that Siegfried outrages Maxi, só preferably he would like to keep Maxi in range 2-3 rather than range 0.
They haven't really made a 3D character with amazing zoning because of the 3D aspect. You'd need projectiles that track or appear to catch side steps. Azwel has zoning toolsl and ivy can be played zoning heavy but it's far and few in between.
Hell no! Probably my least favourite part of 2d fighters - the idea of spamming certain moves from a distance and an opponent looking for a way to get in is not very entertaining to me. I've seen hints of this with Ivy in the early days of SC6, but those zoning type moves seem to have been nerfed. Even in T7, with Akuma & Geese, the game doesn't favour the idea of spamming projectiles. You will get punished quick and I prefer it that way.
@@nginroom8108 I play MK and I've always seen zoning as a necessary evil, but I hate it. I used to play DOA when I was a kid and now I remember why it was so fun :)
Wow. So even pro players resort to desperation edge? Lolz. And here I am complaining about B and C ranks online doing that shit. That feature is the worst part of this game.
Lol more proof that this game is about fast characters for winning. And no I’m not saying these guys don’t have skill. I am saying that the highest level of play comes down to playing the characters with less frames for more damage. SC2 for life!
@@FirstChronus how can you watch this incredible grand finals and still say the game's not good? You should try checking out the SC2 top 8 from this tournament for comparison. Game's great, and it will only improve with time.
Primordial Archetype I humbly and sadly disagree. Top 8 for SC2 sucks because the guys playing play the game like 5 year olds. They are the main reason SC games ended up they way it is now. No tact.

It was a game that rivals Tekken and then it because a joke that people get bored or except the fringe few who like the new gimmick they pushed and the few who hang on hoping the next one will be as great as it was was back when.

E3 SC2 was garbage. A joke! There are so many mechanics in SC2 for people to use and all I see is people trying to outplay each other with slashes which is why they all went for Maxi Vildo X ect. All good character but uses in a pathetic way. This is my opinion. Hopefully no one is butt hurt but this is the internet so there will be many. Lol

Competitively, this game is very very good, and unique.

Sieg: You terror ends with me!!
Maxi: No Chance
That was sick
This game has me by the balls.
Idk if that was a coincidence they did that or he perfectly timed that
@@elijahstark3663 just how the characters jab at each other during RE

I agree. This series is grossly underrated. It'll always be my favorite, though.
I lost interest after SC 4. Same happened with Tekken after Tekken 5. Not been into Toshinden since Toshinden 2. Only fighting game franchise that I am still to this day even more hyped for than ever is Mortal Kombat.
Too bad RE ruins the game and lacks of creativity in the long run.
i mean they kinda ruined the game with the horrible online at start, i legit stopped playing cuz i was getting 90% laggy or low rank players... and then there is RE, still an amazing game tho
They had to make a good game in the first place.
The entire fight is magnificent, both players kept impressing me over and over.
For real! How is this game not more popular?! It's so hype.
This game is amazing man. What a crazy finals. Best I've seen all year
That Geralt in action was a work of art.
This set is amazing. The clutch moments, the commentary, those staredowns. High quality match and stream.
12:56 notice the level of hand shaking after that round loss xD
lol that was anger
He's tilted bro
It's the adrenaline. Every hardcore gamer has felt it.
Round loss or not but its gaming and its competitive everybody shakes 😅
that handshake mixup before the match started was intense lol
Yes and it was pre-pandemic. Why?
That was a clutch character switch for Linkorz; Maxi player got shook.
I can honestly say this was the most nail biting match I've ever seen
This final literally got me screaming in my room and I caught myself having sweaty hands amazing rounds lol. Sticks what a fucking monster
OMG! That dodge! 10:34!
Maxi player was awesome! ^^
And again at 11:08! EPIC!!!
Start and finish off
Rich Sticks is the number 1 Maxi player, and for good reason
Soul caliber is very underrated in my opinion
12:55 "M Y H A N D"
Mo 😂😂😂
This is the best Maxi I've ever seen in my life my GOD!
Finally! A maxi player in a sc6 tourney, and against linkorz!!
This game so slept on
He was not ready AT ALL for that Geralt switch. Good job there
He knew he couldnt take it with sigfried but he wanted to try the slow strenght vs fast challenge.
Linkorz is unstoppable lately
I've never seen seigfried used so beautifully
Follow Linkorz for amazing Sieg and Geralt. He's a god...
@@teamspooky I sure will
I wanted Richsticks' Maxi to take the dub **cry** congrats to Linkorz though he looked so defeated at one point but he came back and did his thing like a true champion
I've always supported Linkorz. I love Seigfried, and he was the first character Linkorz mastered
Well played Maxmoefoe
Bahahaha
😂
Once linkorz switched the crowd was quiet asf
rich sticks trying so hard to contain that smile lmao
These two are the fucking TITANS in sc6, never seen a better finals. Didn’t know who to root for, they’re both my favorite sc6 players.
What a awesome final, respect to Richsticks he is a really great player 🙌🏽🔥.
You can tell my boy was nervous at @12:54 lol
Man's legit shaking through the whole match. Can't really blame him though.
I get people always root for the underdog, but Linkorz looks like such a nice, sportsman like dude, I'm surprised the crowd hates him so much, unless there's drama offscreen I'm not aware of.

There's really no hate towards Linkorz. I think everyone is just hyped that a Maxi player made it to Grand Finals
I'm really satisfied he won it with Geralt
As an OG SC player who HATES dlc cop outs, actually so am I! Strange...
@@mo533 Geralt isn't DLC?
@@llama2022 he IS dlc, that's my point. Usually I hate seeing dlc over powered characters win anything, but in this case, I was ok with it, which I find strange
@@mo533Geralt was in the base game on release...
@@llama2022 I mean guest characters too thrn; to me they're no different. He's not native to SC.
Can someone explain how he managed to do such a combo at 9:23? I know I'm late to the party but I just picked up this game on sale and haven't been into sc since sc4
An Iowa online player with no local nearly took Calibur's biggest tournament.
Isn't he the highest ranked player?
Yo is he really from Iowa!
Love watching richsticks and soul calibur 6
Who would win the 100 meter dash? It'd have to be Zasalamel, obviously.
No, because he can stop time and run past everyone. TF is wrong with you?

Man that was slick!
Those shaky hands
"MY HAND!!!"
I watched top 16 & I believe a single match of the top 8 then the vid ended. Who's got the top 8?

At 12:53 you could tell how annoyed linkorz was by. The way his finger shook damn. And imagine losing the batttle 3 times to a dead maxi pretty much
14:42 that synchronization is crazy
Don't know this scene or people and could tell biased toward richstick's leave bias at home when commentating thanks.. takes away from the match when you secretly cheer for one guy..
I agree. Really bad commentators. I don't even know the competitors but felt bad for the Sieg player.
Linkorz usually wins these high level tournaments so to see him on the brink of losing is refreshing, a high level maxi player, and the fact we saw a reset happen for grand finals
Its because linkorz usually wins, and it's rare to actually see Maxi used successfully at high level play
Soul calibur bringing everyone together
what is yoshi soul charge quote? air hold off?
"Better hold on."
Now that was one Hell of a fight!!!! Shout out to both players tho.
I never play this game before ,i didnt know its look so epic i will try it
I love Maxi, but Seigfried requires more technical skill and timing. I've been rooting for Linkorz the whole time
Ok vertizontals
12:56 shaky hands damn
How is darkest shadow theme being played in the forest? Can you change songs now?
Yeah

”linkorz knew with his back turned he could not do anything”
except he could've pressed B and got the hit
Xiaolin Draconis exactly!!
That was sick. Great match.
4:48 can someone tell me what Siegfried did here?
Pressed B and then pressed forward immediately after. It changes the properties of the move. After that he did another B and finished the combo.
Why did he not triangle when he was turned back? Did they eliminate the Hitbox for the Vertical attack from the back that also puts enemies in front?
I think his instinct was to get to that side stance and "advance" to move away.
@@yvesgomes Sad. One of my favorite things with Seigfried is that attack. I mainly use Astaroth(Who is utter crap but what can I do?) but Seigfried is a close second
Probably just panicked, I was thinking he shouldve used B as well
Thought coaching during games was usually banned at these tournaments?
My hand also prevails at the end of the day.
resetting the bracket is a little too tall of a task man smh
Is geralt top tier or something ? Cause that was a complete 180° turn around
Does anyone know why Xephukai didn't take part in this tourney? He's one of my faves
He's said he's not traveling again til Evo.
@@MarginalSC Thanks. I didn't know it
@@irina1296 I believe he will participate in DreamHack Dallas sc6 tourney
so happy linkorz won XD
That was intense ... Hollywood needs to adapt this.
Actually, shorter people do have faster reaction times fast twitch muscle fiber.
Weird, did they remove chip damage from blocking in this Soul Calibur, or is it like tournament mode where it doesn't apply ?
Only applies to break attacks and when soul charged ex: nightmares sword drill doesnt chip unless hes soul charged... And some moves drain soul meter which will chip
Dangerous German man.
Linkorz the goddam tyrant.
Damn my favourite fighting game..Dono why not as popular as Tekken 7..SIEGFRIED,NIGHTMARE..AESOROTH

I rarely run into this. Even so, this hardly ruins the game. If someone's only going to use 4 moves, beat them and then find a new opponent.
@@Pan_Z you clearly don't play sc6 or your not high enuff rank to see it.....
@@darkhadu4722 Clearly.
Aside, discords and locals are typically the best way to get matches. Try them out if you're not having fun with ranked.
@@Pan_Z I would do locals have none near me. But yes I imagine it would be skilled players there not low IQ spammers..

12:54 watch the guy on the rights hand trembling when he pushes up the shades lol.
Wazzup with grand finals coaching?
It was allowed for I think up to 30 seconds total. You can see a TO in the background with a watch when there's coaching.
thats our boy right there
i don't know maxmoefoe was SC pro player
this mans was nervous shaking damn near the ENTIRE game and still won. i wonder what he can do if he can get rid of those nervous shakes
I feel used
why is someone able to change characters mid tournament, he simply just chose a counter for maxi after getting absolutely clapped
Because counter play is apart of the whole game. It's about your skill inside the game and smarts on the select screen
I just realized smth... Is there no zoning in 3D fighters?
Dracorex0 yes and no. You can play Akuma and Geese in Tekken. You can zone with your fireballs, but it’s not the bnb of your strategy. 3D fighters are more based in spacing.
