GGXX: AC - Shonen (TE) vs. FAB (PO)

[shzindenPL]

PO vs TE is like you first time play Syobon Action...

[8BitAwesome]

I HATE YOU TESTAMENT!!!!!!!!! AND YOUR LITTLE TRAPS TOO!!!

[deviljustyce]

awesome PO

[AKADaybreak]

Shonen has a lot more going for him than Badlands loop.

[blackhorse1988]

Enough complaing about badland loops and other "spam tactics" bs.

There is no such thing as a cheap tactic when it comes to staying alive.

[OverCounter]

@blackhorse1988 True. I play alot of characters in GG. I even play a pretty good Eddie on pad with a unique pad configuration. I have been playing the game for a solid 3 years religiously now and to this day I still cannot get a badlands loop right!

[whokilledmydoggie]

Even though Badlands did most of the damage it took Shonen his best to try and pressure FAB into making a mistake or trick him into a zeinest or a throw.

For all the hype of the Badlands loop getting a skilled opponent into one is actually quite difficult, and FAB was too happy to whack Shonen to bits when Testy made mistakes.

It is unlikely these tactics would work a second time, it would be interesting to see what would happen if they fought again.

[SuperNegrohaha]

2 of my favorite characters with 2 of the best players for those characters = WIN

Fab and Shonen are my personal jesuses lol

[ninjachipzanuff]

badlands loop is almost as dumb as genei jin or chun-li SA2

actually, its dumber cause you dont need meter

[hamsterboy3030]

Execute BL like shonen can then hate. Many TE players cant do it as reliably as shonen. he should be highly respected for his consistency

[bbobjs]

It should also be noted that Shonen has been playing Testament since back in #R when Testament was trash and still dominated. It's his use of traps, not the bandlands loops, that makes him win.

[gkyagami]

very good fight no fancy wins real battles are with one hit difference

[vince52fw]

omg the end to that last match was seriously epic. I stopped breathing for a moment cause I couldnt believe who would've actually won.

Bravo to both players

[JessicaAngel22]

only vid iv seen of shounen getting beat in ac is h.h.'s dizzy anyone know any others?

[SolBadguy777]

He lost to Ruu a Bridget Player.

[hamsterboy3030]

the best BR player.

[SolBadguy777]

Yes.haven't seen quite the Bridget Player as Ruu.

[ChaoticRupture]

he lost to ruu and I'm pretty sure N-otoko would kick his ass...

[GlacierMaiden]

... stupid Shonen-spammer =/

[Akadou]

rofl How is Shounen a spammer?w

[locustofchiron]

2 words: Badland. Loop.

[Akadou]

Ok so doing the Badland loop makes him a spammer? I guess that would make every dustloop using Sol and Baiken a spammer to huh? GG sir GG.

[TruePancho]

I believe my information was slightly flawed, not that bad a matchup for Pot but still in TE's favor.

[Pandaman64]

I'm pretty sure the matchup is still roughly

6-4 in favor of testament.

[bestialrager]

Japanese tournament data says it's 6.0-4.0 Testament's favor.

[perereca]

where do u get this tier datas? i wanna see the difference between some characters matchups...

thx

[Shezmu]

seconded, even the great google can't find these match up charts.

[TruePancho]

Wow, I can't believe people weren't even cheering after that bloodbath war. FAB almost overcame a 3.5-6.5 matchup there and it was a friggin amazing match to boot even without that fact.

[D1balla1376]

at most 5.5 -4.5 te favor.

[Phoenix3568]

Note that EXE beast won this, not Badlands.

[jimiisama]

FRC Beast won both rounds too; really great endings.

[jimiisama]

Sorry I meant Beast not FRC Beast.
