West Coast Warzone SF4 GRAND FINALS 4/8 - Alex Valle [Ryu] vs. Marn [Viper]

9/6/2009 - West Coast Warzone 2009 GRAND FINALS - Alex Valle (Ryu) vs. Marn (Rufus/Viper/Boxer) - Match 4 of 8.

Final match from WCW 2009 with Marn and Alex Valle going for the championship and roughly $3k in prize money. Marn had defeated Valle in the winners bracket earlier meaning that Alex had to win two "Best of Five" sets (six total matches) and Marn only had to win one set (or three total matches).

Alex came out strong and won the the first five matches as Marn seemed to fumble and switch characters often. We all thought it was over and that Marn was on the way out. However, Alex failed to shut the door in the 6th match with a heart-breaking whiffed Shoryuken allowing Marn to pick up the round and gain momentum. Marn then went on to win three straight and capture the first ever West Coast Warzone SF4 championship!

Congratulations to both players as they put on a tremendous show for all of us in attendance and watching on the stream.

You went 0-3 down in the Grand Finals and want to get ahead for the deciding set; you're down at the wire for the game and land a special with a follow-up that gives you the damage you need to take it.

You cancel to Taunt instead?

Now you're at 0-4.

That's the mystery known as Marn for ya! It's almost like he feeds off it somehow. Amazing comeback.

I don't get it..why waste time on execution if your mind games are gonna be lax at high level?

[Pabruzzese99]

was an accident. he told me his right ring finger hit roundhouse, and taunt's priority is god like

[cidcloudful]

lol he wasn't too late to combo, he just does it for the lolz and wtf

[ThaLegend737]

@morydees34 lol maybe it was on purpose......... i think marn is #2 or 3 in the US right now. he probably knew he was gonna win the whole thing anyway

[rediance]

the only reason marn lost a lot of round is cuz of his dumb mistakes.. he paid the price hardcore.

He taunted because he was obviously to late to link it to anything.
