17:15 "the ki is stored in the ball" LMAO

[@elainemckinley1757]

It's always cool when a game is so different from its sequel that both are actively played

[@mazystarr]

'so different' is a very eloquent way to say 'so much better that it refuses to die'.

[@atbtrendy9932]

​@@mazystarrso much Better that the sequel sold 10 times the copies

[@Cezkarma]

@@atbtrendy9932 yeah due to better marketing, good netcode, ASW being more well known thanks to DBFZ.

[@mazystarr]

@@atbtrendy9932 I love that people still try to make the argument, at this point in history, that popular=better.
Clearly better is a subjective term here, but there are currently people on tictoc making thousands in hours saying 'ice cream so good'. Marvel infinite outsold UMVC3 on it's release too. I hope you can see where I'm going with this, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if less people playing a game was directly related to my personal enjoyment of it. But hey if an easier, more accessible game is your thing then I hear minecraft is pretty popular too. This is an xrd video.

[@nowaylater6950]

@@atbtrendy9932 Sales number doesn't define the game is better or not. Using this logic would be mean that MK11 is better than MK9 because the former sold more than the latter. Also, ignore the troll who spam same thing like mazystarr. Just enjoy your game and don't get triggered to simple trick.

[@ShiningSpear]

Glad to see people still turning up for Xrd

[@21Handguns]

Insert "this game is so much better than strive" comment here.

[@useroffline6641]

It's the truth though

[@memorabiliatemporarium2747]

This game is so much better than Strive

[@mazystarr]

Somewhere, there is a women's bathroom just dying to be invaded by a very obvious dude in a dress. Go to them.

[@theoidums2085]

This game is so much better than strive

[@nowaylater6950]

That was before season 3. Now? It's still up to debate though in my opinion, it's still lack something. If Strive decided to bring back Instant Kills and DI Sol (not the boring super one) then Strive would be 10x better than Xrd.

[@Grozdor]

3:15 CHECKMATE!
1:00:04 wow
1:42:20 As 2024 will be the 8th event of CEOtaku AND the release of Tekken 8, I can see that
Tekken 8-themed CEOtaku will be the main theme for next year event.

[@doncinati7644]

I love venom bro damn. So much sauce

[@joyhally7754]

Always nice to see an Elphelt player get humbled

[@Whistrash]

Taunt to get bodied true combo

[@eastcoasttone3952]

Karma came back to hit Hotashi real quick lol

[@Cloudberry_1]

Where Jam?😭

Don't ever ever ever let anyone make you believe your mullet isn't beautiful. Its glorious and you should get sponsored by Pantene Pro V.

[@Rivershield]

Is Dizzy low tier in this game? I never saw anyone play her in tournaments

[@pinkjolyne5432]

Nah she is really good, high tier, maybe there wasn't any local Dizzy players at CEOtaku idk

[@alecpetros7979]

RTW / RayTheWarrior is a very good active western Dizzy player, you can see him earlier in this bracket though he didn’t make top 8 this time. And Dizzy is very strong, high tier but not quite top tier. Also got Kazuki and Ruki - extremely good active Japanese Dizzy players, but they dont show up in western tournaments.

[@Rivershield]

@@alecpetros7979 thank you

[@rachetmarvel931]

​@konakonizumi1869 What nonsense are you talking about,the Millia vs Dizzy match up is Millia favored.

[@rachetmarvel931]

Nope, she is a high tier

[@Uooooooooooooh]

this game is so much better than strive

[@user-cc3ef7qh1x]

have you played it yet?

[@adima_]

ok

[@artisticvisionary00]

Your opinion has been noted but is not valued.

[@mazystarr]

@@artisticvisionary00 Why would you make note of something that holds no value?

[@artisticvisionary00]

@@mazystarr To make sure I got it listed under bad takes lol

[@memorabiliatemporarium2747]

I dread the moment they announce Venom in Strife. They'll butcher my favourite character of all time.

[@rachetmarvel931]

Jack'o is already a venom-lite.
