Latif entered yeah, think he got out of pools but not much further.

Edit - Oh my bad, thought he went out way earlier than that.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:15

Yeah, don't think they've ever played one another. Weird how badly Inf is getting bodied here. 750HP curse I guess.

Shame Latif didn't get further, he's such a beast with his execution. He never seems to do well.

Ibuki being at 900HP is stupid.

Phatjayunoi · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:18

All the females have low HP. Least Chun is up to 950 for 2014.

Goodbye Sako.

2 Gods down - Inflitration!

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:22

Chun should be 1000, Ibuki should be dropped to 850/800. Evil Ryu needs a boost too, he's just a worse version of Akuma, the balancing is pretty off IMO. None of the females are below 900. Cammy should not be 950, that's pretty dumb.

Godslayer.

Drunzer · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:23

Ibuki should have low health though, she arguably has the best vortex in the game. I think she's a really good character.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:27

Exactly, 900 isn't low enough for the tools she has, if Akuma is 850 and Seth 750, Ibuki should be 800-850.

Phatjayunoi · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:29

She has a higher execution barrier compared to Akuma, whereas he has the power advantage. I think that equals out fine. And Seth, he's got tons of tools so there is a reason for that too.

Well, the thing that Akuma and Seth have over Ibuki is that they are much more complete characters. They have good footsies, zoning and defensive options, Ibuki really is all about the knockdown. I think 900 is fine for her honestly.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:45

It's the same as Chun Li, I'll never budge haha she should be 850 max. Ibuki's only weakness is her zoning, her footsies and wakeup are fine.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:51

Counter-picked to hell!

Phatjayunoi · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:53

Hakan......at an EVO final.

Are you kidding me Inflitration! What a gamble!

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 05:59

God that was amazing, I'm gonna have to go and lay down haha.

Phatjayunoi · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:00

And now the two best Akuma's in the world face to face!

Last time they met from what I recall, Tokido won it.

Drunzer · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:00

Best Akuma? let's find out.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:01

There has to be a shun goku satsu on stage after this. Just has to do it

Phatjayunoi · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:03

Could you say......that the U.S got trolled by what is a joke character in a way.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:04

Rog's not gonna enjoy thanksgiving anymore.

Phatjayunoi · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:16

I think it's always been said that Tokido is the better "Akuma player", especially with the use of typical vortex game, but Inflitration is better in other ways too, perhaps an overall general player?

I mean yeah, mirror matches can go either way, but given the history between these two, Tokido has generally come on top.

And in this case, again! Was quite a close match though.

But then if I recall, Inflitration has a better record against Xian's Gen right? And Tokido is having some trouble. Oh the ironies.

Omaeka · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:17

Can't beat the Rog/Inf match though, god that was tense.

Drunzer · 15 Jul 2013 at 06:18

Last match, straight off to bed after this I'm wrecked. Amazing evo, happy with either of these fellas to win.
