This is like Rocky 1, next year will be Rocky 2. That is, if Capcom hasn't destroyed the FGC by then

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

I kinda miss the Chen and Skill casts. I think it's great that SF gets exposure but it sucks that it means those two get split up.

You can tell the difference between Happy Crying and Sad Crying. Punk is Sad Crying.

Yeah, that was absolutely the cry of someone whose heart had been broken.

We may not all play fighting games, but we've all been there, buddy. You did great.

He showed a lack of mental fortitude in a long set against someone who has decades of experience over him. Sure he's been winning majors left and right, but he just got a hard gut check. Tokido tilted him hard, and he didn't recover. He didn't take a breather, or a pause to collect himself, and he lost the biggest FGC major despite being up in winners side with an advantage. That match was his to lose.

[edit] I just realized you were responding to someone else, lmao.

Nah. James Chen has been in the scene forever and is legit.

That said, I would never want to commentate with him because he hogs the mic.

So in 2015, PR Balrog and NuckleDu split 7th. Last year, LI Joe got 5th. This year, Punk gets 2nd.

America's getting closer to the top every year. That's kinda cool.
