Love to see Karma doing its thing. Punk literally overreacted over some light friendly banter from Xiaohai and went full toxic manchild mode for no reason. Now he can hold that L losing to someone whom SF isnt even their main game and once again take 2nd place and not have any major Ws under his belt lmao.
I don't think Punk takes all the trash talking that seriously. He's grinning like an idiot as soon as Xiaohai takes that first game off him - that's not the reaction of somebody with serious personal beef, nor a "toxic manchild". Punk just likes to stir shit, probably because it makes things fun to watch and it lights a fire under the ass of his competition. Maybe I'm capping, but I think Punk wants better competition, he strikes me as the type of person who would get very bored of always being the best player in the room.
i am a fan of how punk plays and think that the heat he brings to the table makes the matches more exciting, but xiao hai won when it mattered most so just take the L bud@@Kilgreys
We witnessed the Importance of having a leader/Head in a group. Mena lead the team and they rose to the level because of him. Every other team was lackin in this. Papa Mena took the kids to the championship. Big ups and congradulations
It’s street fighter league not the NBA. You’re trying to go deeper than what it is. He was simply the best player in street fighter league and he was smart enough to know he needed to go third each week.
Facts! Mena was a great team leader and they had great synergy. Chris T was like the e-sports psychologist motivating everyone. Xiaohai has great respect for Mena. On a live stream he talked about his SFL experience, and said they trained all day. Xiaohai asked Mena, "why do you train so much? You are so talented" Mena said, "previously he used his talent and had fun, but talent can only get you so far. That hard work in the only thing that will take you to the top." Xiaohai was very impressed about Mena's hard work and professionalism. Just last week there was a small online tourney with Kakeru, NL, Chris Wong, Higuchi, Caba, Dispair King, Xiaohai, and Mena. Xiaohai called Mena captain. He's never called anyone captain. Respect!
Xiaohai popping off is well deserved cuz Punk went from 0-100 on him the last time for light-hearted smack talk. Punk needs to have respect for Xiaohai, who's an EVO champ, something Punk aspires to be.
Punk got top 3 at evo this year what did xia haio get also he got 3 rd at gamer8s 100 k . Let’s stop acting like we can compare careers who cares about kof lol that’s a dead fighting game

i saw on Twitter. Basically Xiaohai added up a few thing in regard of SFL playoff on his Chinese SNS: 1. The pop off is a bit for Punk but mostly for himself since he finally scored a redeeming victory for Team Bandits and showing he still isn’t too old to be good at Street Fighters yet. 2. Despite the title he is still extremely disappointed with his own performances since he went negative. He sincerely thank Caba, Chris, and Mena, especially Mena, for making up his sloppy work, helping him out, and creating a miracle in SFL together. 3. This is a team match so he certainly doesn’t feel proud or accomplished especially when he’s run is negative. Nor that he believes he is better than Punk over a FT2. The trash talk is for a show, and it also serves as a purpose to push himself harder in the future, something Punk has been doing all the time. 4. There is still a SFL World Championship waiting for him soon. He has no time to rest or celebrate, get to train harder and live up the expectation of his teammates, team captain, and fans. And there are something unrelated to SFL, mostly about his livestreams so I don’t bother to translate. Basically just saying he had been hated since the “nervous” week being aired and he feels relieved that the hate train is finally become the past along with the playoff.
@@unchaineddemigod794 What's more embarassing? Losing to someone who mains the game for years when its your side game, or losing to someone who plays your game part-time? Im sure even with all your coping you can figure that out.
@@unchaineddemigod794 You're not full timing a game if you're playing multiple games at once. Thats literally what part time means. He will always be first and foremost a KOF player. That's his main game.
Exactly the same with Mr Crimson. He talked mad trash, and when Crimson freed him 3 times in a row (even with his sub character) all of a sudden they're "friends" That's the very definition of a classless bully : strong against weaks but weak against strongs.
Xiao Hai pop off was the best moment in the night, I love Punk but I also love when he have to take back his words XD, Xiao Hai have this revenge coming for a LONG TIME this is way older than this league this is back to that season of Terror with Punk in season 2 of SFV and his Karin, Xiao Hai got beat hard every time by Punk, so this was a long time coming and couldn't happen in a BETTER TIME. Also my boy our champ our homie MENARD proving that he is the GOAT, the man is the definition of CLUTCH, is insane how well he always adapt and react, love it so much and so happy for the entire team of Bandits to take the crown at the end.
ppl talking about the xiaohai pop off. im stuck here admiring the menaRD carry Mena singlehandedly took on the boss of the stage, and just impressed EVERY single time, I'ma admit, im a luka hater, but even I had to stand in awe at mena's absolute masterclass of a performance. What a champion!
Mena is a beast he's so impressive. For me the way he came 2nd at evo was sick he had more work to do coming in as strongest loser and managed to come 2nd
The purpose of having a money match is to add the element of pressure to the match and see who comes out on top in that situation. No Punk-Xiao Hai money match will be as important as what just happened. Punk can cope and seethe all he wants. Talk shit get clipped.
Punk can't even win in his own game let alone another one. The community needs to stop hyping Punk as much as it does he's literally a loser being put in the same boat as the winners it makes zero sense
@@thekid8224punk is the next sonicfox but doesn't fuck dogs. All the sponsorships, all the big pot tourneys seeded in his favor, but folds like paper the second real competition shows up
The season was overall hyper than the others that I can remember. But these playoffs were extra hype especially that last team battle. Revenge was earned and some were vindicated. I hope the next phase is just as hype.
Punk makes moments. People don't see that still. ❤ Shoutout to Xaiohai for proving Punk wrong. You love to see it. FGC is still alive and well. Stay sucker free baby! 💪🏿
I like the Easter Egg at 14:42 where Ernesto does his best tribute to James Chen circa Evo, by shedding some tears himself. Truly, a man of the community.
Punk getting humbled will always be entertaining to watch. He just brings it upon himself with his crazy childish antics lol Also, I swear Punk is still salty at Chris T for the whole cracked beta SF6 thing. They did NOT have beef prior to that. And saying all that garbage about not being relevant in Street Fighter history? Chris T was a straight up legend during the SF4 era. Notable wins over pretty much everyone back in those days. I would say I hope that he starts to mature but honestly, watching him get served humble pie from literally everyone he talks shit to will always be funny.
@@knight-maresExcept when he tweets a barrage of salt, makes it way too personal, or insults TOs after taking an L with mad excuses. Dude almost got DQ'd from CPT West for losing to Alex Myers and hopping on the tourney Discord to get emotional and angry about it with name-calling and crying.
@@citypopradioFM emotional about the game or a game's tournament is understandable for someone who makes a living off competition within the scene. If you ever think he gets personal, ask yourself, is he criticizing their skill within game? Because that's usually the case.
Punk deserved it. He isn't the best and never was. The dude cracks so easy under pressure when things start to go bad. Not the first time he shits on someone and gets schooled after either lol. He's a great player but not consistent, is way over hyped, and has way too much of an ego he can't back up. Awesome for the team that won. They deserved it. Good stuff.
Punk has to hold that L. He talked mad shit. But to tell you the truth, as much as I love punk he has a tendency to choke. He is the king of second place (though he still may be the best in the world).
@@bsk1988 He has 3 first place finishes, 5 second place finishes, and 4 third place finishes in SF6. There are only 3-4 players that can compete with that. And he does that in one of the two toughest regions at that.
This channel should definitely have more than 57k subscribers. This man should at least be over 100k easy. Shout out to the Button Check community. I always enjoy these videos. Salute🫡🥷🏿👊🏾
Trash talk is fun but I feel Punk takes it a bit too far and personal which isn't helped by the fact that he has a storied history of choking when it counts. I'm a fan of him but he needs to slow his roll a bit; that or back it up more consistently lol.
So happy Bandits won, been a big fan of Mena ever since he hit the scene. Also glad Xiaohai got his revenge, you love to see it. He told the truth too, Punk always comes in 2nd when it matters and turns into a crybaby. People need to see him for what he is and stop acting like he's the best when he clearly isn't.
@@larryfocus yeah but honestly he's not at the level to compete against top players there. Punk calling Xiao Hai trash is like calling Nephew way worse than trash
Its so funny to me how Even after so much shit talk and build up to get to have his revenge and his moment XIaohai was so polite and respectful lmao its almost awkward but it was awesome those moments when they happen in Fighting games it feels amazing. Shout outs to both teams and congrats to Bandits they did their best and the matches were great.
I love punk but I'm glad Xiaohai got the last laugh, punk took what Xiaohai said way too seriously and made a bigger issue out of what was meant to be a light hearted joke.
@@KD-wc4rswhat? Majority of sports woulda penalised punk a million times for unsportsmanlike conduct over the years (maybe not this specific moment tho) some like Boxing and MMA just lost their class years ago cause they know drama sells more tickets.

can you make videos explaining who has made it into the million dollar tournament, im sure many of us have no clue how it works and who has made it so far.
Xiaohai lost the first few games to Punk in China forum, especially the one that said "r u nervous".Xiaohai was attacked by a large number of Chinese blackpink, who accused Xiaohai of only going abroad to compete disgracefully.For nearly three months Xiaohai was subjected to a lot of abuse and vilification.Because all players participating in the SFL have signed confidentiality agreements, they cannot disclose the results of the game.So Xiaohai endured nearly three months of blackface abuse and various malicious clips.😢
Even though Xiaohai has won three Evo titles on the Kof program, there is still a lot of black powder to question the level of his fighting game.The other day, oil king also talked about in the live broadcast of so many players in mainland China, Xiaohai's live broadcast is the craziest, because just a sentence "r u nervous" he was scolded for three months.
Yikes. China sounds like it has a rough crowd! Sometimes we forget that something that isn't serious in our culture may be viewed differently in another. In Punk's case he has a history of being rude and for whining when he loses, so that's why Americans are hard on him. What Xiaohai did seemed pretty minor. It was nothing that deserved scolding.
@@smoothsavage2870 China has this weird obsession with maintaining a "good image" because they love to flex and look good to others. Its why Chinese parents always tries to mold their kids into trophies for the sole sake of flexing to their peers, along the whole "you bring dishonor to family" joke/meme which has a lot of truth to it. Xiaohai pretty much made China "look bad" by losing after his "trash talk" if you can even call it that. It sounds really absurd but thats how they are.
Three things 1) I'm happy to see Chris T getting the love he deserves after all the hard work he's been putting in 2) Mena is a beast and you cannot convince me otherwise! 3) I love Punk and he's a very talented player but damn karma came full circle and bit him on the ass for talking that shit 🤣🤣
Thank god someone who’s well known finally said. I’ve been saying that about Punk for actual years. Man hasn’t won a SINGLE cap cup or evo and acts like he’s the best. He even had the audacity to say he’s the best North American and that’s not even true.
No one wants to say the truth facts are punk isn't that great he's surrounded by old and new players that WIN. Punk is popular because his known for having tantrums when he loses and if we're honest because American fgc keeps his name alive
@@thekid8224 Punk finished 3rd at the past EVO after going up going the full 5 games each set in Winner's and Loser's bracket. Punk finished 3rd at Gamers 8 beating MenaRD and losing to Kakeru after going up 2-0 in the set. If you want to say he chokes, fine. To say that he isn't a great player, or he beats "tomato cans every week" is asinine. The man is top 3 in North America and probably top 7 in the world.
was Xiao Hai's pop off really the way it's being technically misquoted? it's hard to know (for me) since his English (respectfully) isn't that great. he said Punk "isn't too good" which could simply mean "he isn't too good to be beaten" -- as in "he isn't so good *that it's impossible to beat him*"
I feel like he definitely meant to say other players ain’t invincible but that word is probably too complicated for him so “not good” is the best thing he could come up with in English. Seriously someone should gets him a proper English translator. In Japan there are plenties of people willing to translate for him and the interpretation came out from the Japanese translators are nothing like this. Or at least told him to avoid speaking his broken English since he pissed people off without knowing it.
@@bsk1988 i hear you but that doesn't fail to align with the saying it to mean that he doesn't thinking Punk is invincible or that he simply doesn't view him as unbeatable (too good to be beaten)... but yes, that comment does lend more toward him talking some shit too, and it also makes sense for him to have some shit to talk back to Punk given their history...
The funny part is no one in that place even remembered Nephew's existence. He was just a NPC at the background.

1. The pop off is a bit for Punk but mostly for himself since he finally scored a redeeming victory for Team Bandits and showing he still isn’t too old to be good at Street Fighters yet.
2. Despite the title he is still extremely disappointed with his own performances since he went negative. He sincerely thank Caba, Chris, and Mena, especially Mena, for making up his sloppy work, helping him out, and creating a miracle in SFL together.
3. This is a team match so he certainly doesn’t feel proud or accomplished especially when he’s run is negative. Nor that he believes he is better than Punk over a FT2. The trash talk is for a show, and it also serves as a purpose to push himself harder in the future, something Punk has been doing all the time.
4. There is still a SFL World Championship waiting for him soon. He has no time to rest or celebrate, get to train harder and live up the expectation of his teammates, team captain, and fans.
And there are something unrelated to SFL, mostly about his livestreams so I don’t bother to translate. Basically just saying he had been hated since the “nervous” week being aired and he feels relieved that the hate train is finally become the past along with the playoff.
chris T also got revenge on punk cause punk said before that chris T would never beat him in any tournament or in any sf game
That explains the salty tweet lmao. Ate his own words yet again.
imagine a guy who mains another game beats you in your game man id be pissed
Wow he won 1 set. How many sets Punk beat him tho? Yea ok
@@unchaineddemigod794he won the set that mattered
@@unchaineddemigod794 What's more embarassing? Losing to someone who mains the game for years when its your side game, or losing to someone who plays your game part-time? Im sure even with all your coping you can figure that out.
@@YanDaMan263 part time? He’s been playing since it released just like sf 4 and 5
@@unchaineddemigod794 You're not full timing a game if you're playing multiple games at once. Thats literally what part time means. He will always be first and foremost a KOF player. That's his main game.
Punk L well deserved ......didnt need to pop off that hard at xiaohai.....
I'm heavily biased being a big KoF fan but good to see Xio Hai got that runback when he needed to. Arcadecabinet said it best, Xiao Hai from space.
After last capcom cup when MenaRD won, Punk was gassing Mena up how they are friends. Punk be switching up so much lol
Exactly now Angrybird is his new BF since when lol
He is friend with everyone shutting his big mouth
Exactly the same with Mr Crimson. He talked mad trash, and when Crimson freed him 3 times in a row (even with his sub character) all of a sudden they're "friends"
That's the very definition of a classless bully : strong against weaks but weak against strongs.
Waiting for this episode.. that xiaohai pops off hahaha are you nervous? Totally redemption..
Punk is forever a bridesmaid. Lol
Xiao Hai pop off was the best moment in the night, I love Punk but I also love when he have to take back his words XD, Xiao Hai have this revenge coming for a LONG TIME this is way older than this league this is back to that season of Terror with Punk in season 2 of SFV and his Karin, Xiao Hai got beat hard every time by Punk, so this was a long time coming and couldn't happen in a BETTER TIME. Also my boy our champ our homie MENARD proving that he is the GOAT, the man is the definition of CLUTCH, is insane how well he always adapt and react, love it so much and so happy for the entire team of Bandits to take the crown at the end.
Xiao didnt meant "not good" he meant "Punk isnt too good that he cant be beaten"
ppl talking about the xiaohai pop off.
im stuck here admiring the menaRD carry
Mena singlehandedly took on the boss of the stage, and just impressed EVERY single time, I'ma admit, im a luka hater, but even I had to stand in awe at mena's absolute masterclass of a performance. What a champion!
Mena is a beast he's so impressive. For me the way he came 2nd at evo was sick he had more work to do coming in as strongest loser and managed to come 2nd
This .
The purpose of having a money match is to add the element of pressure to the match and see who comes out on top in that situation. No Punk-Xiao Hai money match will be as important as what just happened. Punk can cope and seethe all he wants. Talk shit get clipped.
Xiaohai got the last laugh this time
Lol now lets see Punk try take a set from Xiao at any Kof
Aint gonna happen lol.
Lmao not in a million years. All in good fun at the end of the day but Xiaohai is a beast.
Xiaohai would beat him with one hand 😂
Punk can't even win in his own game let alone another one. The community needs to stop hyping Punk as much as it does he's literally a loser being put in the same boat as the winners it makes zero sense
@@thekid8224punk is the next sonicfox but doesn't fuck dogs. All the sponsorships, all the big pot tourneys seeded in his favor, but folds like paper the second real competition shows up
Punk was just talking shit about xiaohai who appeared to be one of top legend players.
The season was overall hyper than the others that I can remember. But these playoffs were extra hype especially that last team battle. Revenge was earned and some were vindicated. I hope the next phase is just as hype.
Punk makes moments. People don't see that still. ❤
Shoutout to Xaiohai for proving Punk wrong. You love to see it.
FGC is still alive and well. Stay sucker free baby! 💪🏿
I like the Easter Egg at 14:42 where Ernesto does his best tribute to James Chen circa Evo, by shedding some tears himself. Truly, a man of the community.
If punk ran sets as good as he did his mouth he might have won an evo by now or you know beat the people he calls bots or free
Punk getting humbled will always be entertaining to watch. He just brings it upon himself with his crazy childish antics lol
Also, I swear Punk is still salty at Chris T for the whole cracked beta SF6 thing. They did NOT have beef prior to that. And saying all that garbage about not being relevant in Street Fighter history? Chris T was a straight up legend during the SF4 era. Notable wins over pretty much everyone back in those days. I would say I hope that he starts to mature but honestly, watching him get served humble pie from literally everyone he talks shit to will always be funny.
I rate punk highly but when it matters the most he just dont show up
That's why Xiaohai said he is always the second.
Punk is so unlikable, he talks like hes tough but hes soft asf . 😂 He would never talk crazy like he does in any other setting
he keeps it all in the game, no need to get all emotional about it.
@@knight-maresExcept when he tweets a barrage of salt, makes it way too personal, or insults TOs after taking an L with mad excuses. Dude almost got DQ'd from CPT West for losing to Alex Myers and hopping on the tourney Discord to get emotional and angry about it with name-calling and crying.
@@citypopradioFM emotional about the game or a game's tournament is understandable for someone who makes a living off competition within the scene. If you ever think he gets personal, ask yourself, is he criticizing their skill within game? Because that's usually the case.
@@knight-mareslol everyone defending punk thinks everyone who dislikes him is a crybaby when we all just think he's the sad and annoying crybaby 😂
@@knight-maresno usually he just cries
Punk deserved it. He isn't the best and never was. The dude cracks so easy under pressure when things start to go bad. Not the first time he shits on someone and gets schooled after either lol. He's a great player but not consistent, is way over hyped, and has way too much of an ego he can't back up.
Awesome for the team that won. They deserved it. Good stuff.
Punk has to hold that L. He talked mad shit. But to tell you the truth, as much as I love punk he has a tendency to choke. He is the king of second place (though he still may be the best in the world).
"the best in the world" 😂😂😂😂😂
@@CamusSC😂😂😂😂😂 I know right
No punk is not the best in the world if he was he would win at least once. The fact a kof player beat him at his own game is super embarrassing
"Best in the world" with zero championships under his belt lolol
@@bsk1988 He has 3 first place finishes, 5 second place finishes, and 4 third place finishes in SF6. There are only 3-4 players that can compete with that. And he does that in one of the two toughest regions at that.
Xiaohai got a lot to say if it wasn't language barrier ... 🤣 you could tell by his body language and they way he was trying to get it all out 🤣
I wish Xiaohai was fluent in English because his popoffs would be legendary.
@@bsk1988 he was in the moment
Yea, i knew he had so much to say, but just couldnt because he didnt know the words. He got the most important part out though 🤣
This video has more views at this moment more than the active viewership of the event itself, a testament to Button Check!!!
I love the fact that Ernesto leaves the bloopers in the final product lmfao
This channel should definitely have more than 57k subscribers. This man should at least be over 100k easy. Shout out to the Button Check community. I always enjoy these videos. Salute🫡🥷🏿👊🏾
Trash talk is fun but I feel Punk takes it a bit too far and personal which isn't helped by the fact that he has a storied history of choking when it counts. I'm a fan of him but he needs to slow his roll a bit; that or back it up more consistently lol.
The SF pro-league finals US vs EU vs Japan is gonna be fire.
That SFL finals was so insane it needs to be committed to the asylum! Pure gold! Im watchin it again tonite!
When punk jabbed into hooligan instead of a super i knew it was over.
So happy Bandits won, been a big fan of Mena ever since he hit the scene. Also glad Xiaohai got his revenge, you love to see it.
He told the truth too, Punk always comes in 2nd when it matters and turns into a crybaby. People need to see him for what he is and stop acting like he's the best when he clearly isn't.
i must apologize to xiaohai, i was not familiar with his game
If only punk could do the same.
Nephew almost got a free ride to SFL championship 😂
Kinda feel bad for him ngl. I’m sure he wanted more chance to play.
@@larryfocus yeah but honestly he's not at the level to compete against top players there. Punk calling Xiao Hai trash is like calling Nephew way worse than trash
My man got his get back let's fucking goooooo!!!
I love how you summarized the matches 💖✨ And Xiaohai deserved that win and to talk some sh1t back as well 🔥🤣
xiaohai saying he the second best 😂😂😂 I wanna see where this goes. Also why did punk call out chris t he didn’t even say anything
They seem to have a history judging by that tweet. Dudes salty he list to both Chris and Xiaohai lol
Punk isn't in a position to call anyone out he surrounded by actual champions.
Its so funny to me how Even after so much shit talk and build up to get to have his revenge and his moment XIaohai was so polite and respectful lmao its almost awkward but it was awesome those moments when they happen in Fighting games it feels amazing. Shout outs to both teams and congrats to Bandits they did their best and the matches were great.
I love punk but I'm glad Xiaohai got the last laugh, punk took what Xiaohai said way too seriously and made a bigger issue out of what was meant to be a light hearted joke.
This was an insane event! And great video recapping it! You’re the best.
XIAO talk yo shit 🤣 😂 Punk gets annoying after a while man , like dont underestimate ppl bro.
Fauux
Ikr? It's like people find a reason to respect jerks just because they're good at video games.
@@swiftyxrdor we are grown men in a competitive sport yall to soft man 😂
@@KD-wc4rswhat? Majority of sports woulda penalised punk a million times for unsportsmanlike conduct over the years (maybe not this specific moment tho) some like Boxing and MMA just lost their class years ago cause they know drama sells more tickets.
It's not that people are soft (well some are), they can take it, just some find it crass, childish and unentertaining.
Trash talk is funny when it's playful and also good quality. Half the time punk means it and the other half of the time he's just stumbling over his words "umm..yeaaaaah...he's like....free...and he's like also free...umm...yeah and he's free too." 🥴🥴
@@ens0246 it don’t matter u sportsman like conduct is way more than talking. It literally assaulting or directly going after something sesnative to that specific person I play ball what punk did ain’t nothin if fact they woulda fought like grown men but y’all cry like little girls 👧
I always love when Punk gets so close to victory only to lose and look like a fool after talking all that shit. Be ready for the twitter salt from Punk's page later. EDIT: LMAO I POSTED THIS BEFORE I SAW THE FINAL PART 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
'Couldn't look away from the train wreck.'
Any pop off against punk is well deserved learn humility punk and hold that L
can you make videos explaining who has made it into the million dollar tournament, im sure many of us have no clue how it works and who has made it so far.
Waiting for the next button check when Punk tweets that SF6 is so scrubby
I remember Punk used to tea bag xiao hai like crazy in SFV. Glad dude finally got some get back
Xiaohai lost the first few games to Punk in China forum, especially the one that said "r u nervous".Xiaohai was attacked by a large number of Chinese blackpink, who accused Xiaohai of only going abroad to compete disgracefully.For nearly three months Xiaohai was subjected to a lot of abuse and vilification.Because all players participating in the SFL have signed confidentiality agreements, they cannot disclose the results of the game.So Xiaohai endured nearly three months of blackface abuse and various malicious clips.😢
Even though Xiaohai has won three Evo titles on the Kof program, there is still a lot of black powder to question the level of his fighting game.The other day, oil king also talked about in the live broadcast of so many players in mainland China, Xiaohai's live broadcast is the craziest, because just a sentence "r u nervous" he was scolded for three months.
Let’s just say both got the backlash they deserved then. Should have just stayed quiet and play
Yikes. China sounds like it has a rough crowd! Sometimes we forget that something that isn't serious in our culture may be viewed differently in another. In Punk's case he has a history of being rude and for whining when he loses, so that's why Americans are hard on him. What Xiaohai did seemed pretty minor. It was nothing that deserved scolding.
@@smoothsavage2870 China has this weird obsession with maintaining a "good image" because they love to flex and look good to others. Its why Chinese parents always tries to mold their kids into trophies for the sole sake of flexing to their peers, along the whole "you bring dishonor to family" joke/meme which has a lot of truth to it. Xiaohai pretty much made China "look bad" by losing after his "trash talk" if you can even call it that. It sounds really absurd but thats how they are.
Great Vid as always. But DAMN! Those Matches were NAIL BITTERS!
Best SFL finals ever
Great job with the commentary bruh
Three things
1) I'm happy to see Chris T getting the love he deserves after all the hard work he's been putting in
2) Mena is a beast and you cannot convince me otherwise!
3) I love Punk and he's a very talented player but damn karma came full circle and bit him on the ass for talking that shit 🤣🤣
Xiaohai won that shit when it mattered MVP 🎉
Xiaohai was a 100% percent thinking about that EVO that Punk got bodied by Tokido 😂
That "he's always second" LMAO
That's why you gotta love Punk, he takes things really personally puts his heart on his sleeve, and leaves himself open to falling on his face! lol
Xaiohai best pop off! xD
Thank god someone who’s well known finally said. I’ve been saying that about Punk for actual years. Man hasn’t won a SINGLE cap cup or evo and acts like he’s the best. He even had the audacity to say he’s the best North American and that’s not even true.
No one wants to say the truth facts are punk isn't that great he's surrounded by old and new players that WIN. Punk is popular because his known for having tantrums when he loses and if we're honest because American fgc keeps his name alive
But he beats tomato cans every week in tns or whatever lol
@@thekid8224 Punk finished 3rd at the past EVO after going up going the full 5 games each set in Winner's and Loser's bracket. Punk finished 3rd at Gamers 8 beating MenaRD and losing to Kakeru after going up 2-0 in the set. If you want to say he chokes, fine. To say that he isn't a great player, or he beats "tomato cans every week" is asinine. The man is top 3 in North America and probably top 7 in the world.
@@PGO_Gaming definitely not top 7 in the world.
@@mattb6616 🤣🤣🤣 got me crackin up too early fam
He actually beat Punk with Ken before online.
What was that tweet by Punk about? Did I miss something? Did Chris T talk trash to or about Punk after he beat him?
Punk said Christ T would never ever beat him in a tournament setting in SF and it happened. Now hes coping with tweets as usual.
KOF arguably takes more skill than sf. So his skills translate well.
Buttons down below? Well makes sense you got that sub and share button down below 🙌. Nesto dropping better content with every video.
I didn't realize the finale was so dramatic. That was insane!
I'd think twice before trash talking the best KOF player of all time on camera... Btw Mena read Angry Brid like a book in that last round.
nephew didn't play a set lol
Yeah but they're a stacked team so he was the odd man out
just realized that xiaohai was genuinely asking punk if he was nervous coz that guy doesn't know how to trash talk seriously😂
was Xiao Hai's pop off really the way it's being technically misquoted? it's hard to know (for me) since his English (respectfully) isn't that great. he said Punk "isn't too good" which could simply mean "he isn't too good to be beaten" -- as in "he isn't so good *that it's impossible to beat him*"
I feel like he definitely meant to say other players ain’t invincible but that word is probably too complicated for him so “not good” is the best thing he could come up with in English.
Seriously someone should gets him a proper English translator. In Japan there are plenties of people willing to translate for him and the interpretation came out from the Japanese translators are nothing like this. Or at least told him to avoid speaking his broken English since he pissed people off without knowing it.
I thought so too at first but then he said "thats why hes alwas second" so he's clearly talking that shit for real haha
@@bsk1988 i hear you but that doesn't fail to align with the saying it to mean that he doesn't thinking Punk is invincible or that he simply doesn't view him as unbeatable (too good to be beaten)... but yes, that comment does lend more toward him talking some shit too, and it also makes sense for him to have some shit to talk back to Punk given their history...
When Caba loses, everyone wins, an angel gets its wings and a child smiles
Xiahai win was so damn satisfying and hype!!! Talk THAT SHIT my boy!!!
