Hmmmm I just think it was his time. He was one of the most consistent SF V player and already cemented his place as one of the best in 6. He is very competitive, sometime arrogant and may say things that give him a bad look. I'm far from being a fan of his tantrums but seeing him getting emotional is a proof that it matters a lot to him, not just to flex but to show he can do it.

@@KomatoseFGC Meta is not one player(BigBird) with that logic Ed is God tier and he is not... Ken, Blanka, and JP still the meta and then Luke, and soon(if u want) May Rashid, but Cammy is not in the same line even Akuma is stronger than Cammy, also Bison.

Bigbird's going to regret not hitting the Rashid anti-air at 19:10 for a while. He had Cammy's jump-in locked down before that last game.
@juanvictor2369
Ай бұрын
That shit was poetic. It was like he didn't even see Cammy jumping. One of the best players on the planet not trying to anti-air, blocking low, legit standing there at the mere fraction of a second where he just couldn't let that very basic and fundamental mistake happen. Punk literally saw it and gambled. SF is so good man

That match took so much out of both of them. That was Anime played out in real life. Punk wanted to Pop off but saw how Big Bird was so crushed and thought about his own failures and had immediate sympathy. Punk handled everything perfectly and they'll both look back on this moment and be proud. Big Bird can hold his head up high. Punk... You're the best in the world. Second to None!! Been watching him for Years. Well deserved!!!!! I love it!!

It's like winning a heavyweight championship they should give an interview. That's something they really need to do because as a first time watcher iwas excited to hear what they're going to say how they're feeling etc but instead they bring that no riz having bald dude with a minimal swag out to say whatever the f*** he's saying about Singapore. Like bro we don't care about that we care about the winner and what they're going to say
