I'm surprised that nobody's talking about Mena's controller disconnect! For those who weren't watching, in grand finals, Mena's controller disconnected at the start of round 2, and Angrybird with his amazing sportsmanship, didn't take the game and decided to let the game play out! Truly the highlight of this year's EVO for me!

That comeback was a robbery. Kakeru's tools not working the way they're supposed to is not a good turn around. He lost the round before to nerves and then he lost the last round to random happenstance that I've yet to find a way to replicate. Kakeru was 100% the best player in the final 6. If he had his runback with Angry Bird I have no doubt that he would have won and he already proved himself against Mena.

Just to say about the USB port issue. Tbh, that's not a PS5 issue, that would happen with every USB port no matter whether it was PC or PS. The best answer, if there has to be an answer, is for controllers to swap to USB-C or even better still, wireless, yes it introduces delays, but it's better to have a delay than to not be able to play at all. I'm not a professional so I'm not even sure if the USB-C change would actually work, but something I will say is that is not an issue with PS

I remembered Brian's video last year after idom vs kawano grandfinals and that the US curse still going.. seeing this year i laughed because even the middle east got an EVO title and the US still not 😂😭 i disagree with Brian on old evo wins, its all hard on its way, i mean moment 37 was born in 2004 and the level was insane, Daigo won the only back to back street fighter titles in 2009 & 2010 and it was packed, also back then to information wasn't as easy as nowdays, Japan had most players in top 24 which is crazy, as for angry bird because he's from our region we always follow him and he was very strong and made many big achievements but for some reason ppl just don't recognize him or pay attention to him and i think Brian is right he isn't the showman and tweet all the time, i mean hell before his evo win he literally had 7K followers only even tho he's a worldclass player for years! Same with big bird his Marisa boosted his image! For me i think angrybird mentally is stronger than big bird, man evo was legendary! So many iconic moments! Felt sorry for kakeru but Tokido what a champ! He will evo with akuma 😂🔥

This evo did feel different. And it made me think, I used to play a lot of NHL before fighting games and for a season or two, there used to be “relive or recreate moments” you could play that would allow you to relive or change big moments in NHL seasons prior. Evo, and to an extent street fighter league, will hopefully inspire Capcom to play with the battlehub in SF6 and offer those moments somewhere down the line.

Leffen isn't just a melee player, he's The Melee Player™. He has a longstanding reputation for being kind of a jackass, both outside and inside his community (especially in the first few years of his career, from what I've heard). As someone who's never paid much attention to him (and who doesn't know him personally, either), I can't personally say how much he's earned this reputation, all I know is that it's a pervasive one. Results nor not, earning respect will continue to be an uphill battle. Also, winning with the western Strive community's most despised and disrespected character, on back-to-back infamously favorable matchups, was kind of a deflation I'm not gonna lie. At least when the same character won last year, Grand Finals went 3-2 on a somewhat closer matchup. Leffen still fucking earned it without question; matchups or not, his opponents were not free. But it's hard to really see that as a spectator.

10:16 PS5 adds _less_ additional latency vs. PC than PS4 did, at *tournament* framerates. This doesn't mean it's the same. The difference is still a good 2+ frames, and Playstation is _still_ the laggiest platform you can play SF6 on. But like others said, Sony owns EVO, so EVO is stuck with them. Capcom Cup, on the other hand, _already_ went PC last time, and they'll surely do it again.
