What these guys do for the community week in and week out is pretty remarkable.

They nerfed Zangief's knockdown on EX Banishing Flat. Against the likes of Chun-Li/Sagat/Blanka/Ryu/Twins.....definitely not a buff. And absolutely uncalled for, since he struggles in high level play anyway.

@2
Oh, is that why all the best Japanese players consider him A tier in AE? Sarcasm aside, Yun and Yang get destroyed by Zangief.

i like ryan hart commented on how you have to take uneccessary risk to get out of yuns pressure lmao. Any players who plays aggressively knows the mindset set of other aggressive players its like rock, paper, scissors. which makes it EVEN BETTER. You guess right you could easily turn the table for a comeback, you guess wrong you die quickly. I think thats fair in all ways possible. Yet i am an aggressive player so escaping pressure will not be a problem ... the only thing im concerned about yun is his priority of attacks when pressuring. From game play it looks like his only 3 frame attacks are st. jab and cr. short. So if his other normals come out slower yet people have a problem with him. Its because either they give him alot of guard stun and frame advantage on block. Or his normals just out prioritize normals even if they 1 or 2 frames faster than his... The guard stun we can deal with, but the high priority of constant pressuring normals will mindf*** the community. just think of yun having prioty like super bison's cr.lk. but on all of his normals no mater the frame startup. I really hope that is not the case or the community will scream nerf within the first week of console release

There's no need to Alt-F4 between the 2 tournament streams. Just load each stream in separate windows and watch both at the same time.
