Street Fighter 4 Gamestop Nationals - Poongko vs Haunts

[tcas1974]

hahaha ryu all the way

[Joneshing]

Haunts, its McCabe. Member the good old days at Seth's house? im tryin to put together a street fighter party at my restaurant, hit me up if u want to come

[MikeDecipher]

If Poongko was a chess player, he'd definitely open with the pawn move e4; aggressive play style.

[HwarangOfFaith]

lol poongko looks like he didnt really try most of the time and when he did, he just raepd haunts

[dragonfirelee]

Looked like Poongko at the end of the vid to me.

[pandaber]

Sorry but haunts seriously looks like 90% of the sagats I see. Not a huge poongko fan but it was pretty obvious it wasn't a serious match for him..hes a lot better than this guy

[karltran]

doesnt look like it was trying, probably just practicing the timing of his ultra

[two2tone]

1:21 is one of the scrubbiest play EVER from a top player! wtf was he thinkin??!!

[Garettenator]

Next time someone hosts my Ryu will do the same thing to your Sagat :) Just show up :D

[Marceles45]

tryin to be cool and time an ultra through sagat's tiger shot probably

[Kirioger]

sheeit son fuddruckers in concord?! That's stupid close to where I live

[TheRyanNation]

dude did anyone else notice that the fireball hadnt even left sagats hands when poongko reacted??? thats fuckin crazy reflex....

[ricefarmer]

the second guy he talkin to sounds like a retard

[SmokeyAmp]

Too many risky ultras for Poongko. He's awesome at FADC, so he should just wait for the opportunity.

[rtc7788]

I think poongko would be better if he played more intelligently and less on just instinct.

[hundredprizm]

yeah definitely agreed poonkos game would boost through the roofs if he played more defensively but in my opinion, i don't think poongko cares to much, playing like that is probably a lot funner for him.

[TheRyanNation]

but that aint poongko man... poongkos the one thats fun to watch... He's the one that wants to keep it a fight rather than a chessmatch. even daigos matches can get pretty boring sometimes...

[messiangel]

Poongko haciendo un random Ultra en el 1:20 ????

[MedievalWerewolf]

Man. Poongko's style is too risky. He seems to take a lot of unnecessary gambles.

[androidsychoshocker]

Wish there was more SF4 tournaments. Wish people took gaming more seriously.

[HanDaimond]

Nice mind game at the end.

[mcSHTT]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!! that ending was pretty boss...

[Raymond4me]

Poongko was mess with him in the beginning. Random ultra? Stop block after crossup? Until later he realized he is losing face, then he started fighting serious.

[csplayer23]

what do u mean by loosing face? like fame?

[wrath3777]

i doubt poongko was "mess with him" poongko tried that ultra in response to a tiger but haunts didnt use a tiger so he messed up

[misterchango]

who the fuck is Haunts???? that guy was killing it !!!!

DAMMMMMMM

[aaaaaarroonn12323]

he play's 3s as makoto and vf5 as goh i think he's from CA

[PoXiMaT]

Good match + two guys making friends in the background LOL

[candiasis333]

Poongko is poetry in motion to watch play, so good.

[FDoublA]

Haunts is good

[MacOut]

Dude he obviously was just fucking around the first game or either nervous cause of the US atmosphere. But you can see his style changes quite clearly after the 2nd round of 2nd battle. Props to haunts tho.

[LeftyHangsLower]

Don't make excuses for Poongko, you come off as a fan boy.

[katsuranomaly]

And if Haunts wasn't so nervous about playing Poongko, he would have rocked him even harder. Poongko is decent and all but Haunts smacked him up in the long run. I mean, he got a perfect on him for god's sake, was a hit away from taking both sets.

[yahoo1o1]

poongko had 2 wins before the tape started. they maybe had more than the 2 matches shown

[YounGGuns425]

Youre right. After the first match, it shows that Hauntz had a 33.3% win ratio in this session.

[StreetTrooper]

wait the fuck?

whos the guy talking he sounds you sound hella familiar

you also said San Jose

do you work at the oakridge gamestop?

btw Haunts is pretty solid fighter

[MasterOGA]

Sounds like Gootecks to me.

[grassysaq]

It's Anthony/Crackfiend talking.

[impur1ty]

gfg PERFECT!

[IndigoR]

haunts is solid. props!

[utubekevz]

you crushed his spirit haunts... thats why he did bad on stage lol

[FDoublA]

lol Haunts ur the reason poonkgo lost u did to well solid

[ryusakura128]

great stuff, one thing I noticed is that the screen doesnt zoom in/out all the time as the home version....I want this at home too!! hate the "dynamic" camera in the home version.

[grassysaq]

They're playing the same console version you are at home.

[TACORIAN]

nice perfect haunts

[RivalBattousai]

Is the national tournament allowing players to use sticks cuz i know most stores didnt allow them in the first two rounds.

[iplaywinner]

Had to bring your own stick. I dunno whose stick I was using, Poongko had a custom stick of his own.

[mazonrowes777]

What was up with Poongko's random Ultras? He had full EX meter on one of those, could of FDACed.

[Aznballer817]

Poongko is a highly aggressive player who plays a lot on instincts and looking at player reaction, like when you see at about 3:07, he saw haunts do fireball into jab, he thought that was a fireball, hence the random super.

[iplaywinner]

Yeah he was doing the same shit to Daigo too. Bait fireball into Ultra...

[bradido]

Not only did you win one you perfected Poongko. That has to feel good.
