fucking akuma... honestly all they need to do for the update is nerf akuma and buff the low tiers, this is getting ridiculous... Why are cammy seth or fei always mentioned as s-tier along akuma? thats just bs, akuma is a fuckin tier of his own

Good for Ryan Hart though, it's been awhile since he's had such a good tournament.

First set was so hype. Could've gone either way at that point.

Sagat vs Akuma has always been a bad matchup. Akuma is good and some of his moves could do with a little less frame advantage, but I don't think he's strictly better than cammy/fei/seth.

you really think infiltration is that much better than everybody else? not only winning every major hes entered for ages, but running a train through every other top player? he is certainly good, but nobody can be 100% winrate good in a fighting game like sf4 at this stage without a broken character. There are billions of reasons why akuma is broken, if you cant see that you just lack understanding of basic sf4 mechanics.

Or, he's really good, his character is good and he had a favorable matchup against someone he knows really well

Akuma's good no doubt, but people throw out "broken" without being able to really grasp what it really is

ST akuma, now that's broken.

No character in SF4 is even close to being broken, get out of here with your ad hominems and scrubby balance whining. Infiltration is pretty obviously the best player in the world, in an era where the previous top players have been concentrating less and less on the game.

I don't really think that's true. Infiltration is obviously really good. No one's trying to take that away from him. But there are a lot of good players who can't do like anything at all against his Akuma, who get run through like they aren't even there. And to be honest, when he plays other characters, Infiltration seems pretty normal, like what I'd expect a top-tier player to look like. Excellent skills, capable of dropping rounds occasionally. He didn't show anything particularly amazing against Knuckledu, for instance. With Akuma he genuinely looks untouchable. It's like watching the Tour de France, but everyone else is wearing snowsuits and riding moutain bikes, and he's got a carbon-fiber frame with wheels that weigh half an ounce.

Edit: I'm not saying Akuma is broken, I just think the character is too strong, especially relative to characters in the middle tiers. Also buff Yang please.

Well the basic problem is that no top players play Akuma's hard matchups (Cammy, Ibuki) and until they do, Infiltration will continue to run riot.

Best Vortex, best pressure escape, best dp, best sweep, best walk speed of the entire cast.
Here are his "weak" points (as in not undebatedly best of the entire cast but merely S tier):
Normals, Ultra/Super, Combo Damage/Stun, Keepaway game... Yeah right... You tellin me this is all offset by low health/stun??? I dont care if you wanna call it broken or not, but hes clearly in a class of his own. The other supposedly S-Tier characters have all some flaws while akuma is flat out best at many key aspects of the game and among the absolute top in the rest. Its clearly BS.

Sako is family man status for while now and somehow when i see him play in foreign majors i don't see him enjoying it as much, certainly not to the degree Mago, Tokido, and Gamerbee do.

So lame, I missed AE. Does anyone know if there are vods?

Edit: Just saw someone posted the vods. Looking forwards!

Infiltration too strong, not Akuma. Check out Infiltration's ryu vs Ricky Ortiz. He is just a monster.

Ryan Hart vs Sanford Kelly ft5 $20 MM.

The ending discussion was pretty funny. Sanford: "I have the better rushdown". Ryan: "When i saw you play Rog you didn't rush down anyone." Sanford: "Cuz he had Fei Long."

Ryan: "When I had Mago I battered him."
