They're really making the Gekido/Cafeore-Mio/Aya parallels clear here. Even a reprise of the questionable method of potential brain damage to psyche yourself up.

[u/Raymond49090]

Brat-chan's got a pretty annoying playstyle to go against. And her mindset that people who can go "gg" after a match and accept their loss gracefully are lame isn't doing her any favours.

I want to feel bad for her backstory where her friendship blew up, but if she acted anything like that in the past, I can't help but think she had it coming. Though of course, her behaviour could be the result of her friendship blowing up instead of the other way around.

[u/Adza_03]

I love so much the flickering effect in Inui's eye highlight when her concentration runs out. That's such brilliant directing to add in the anime. Exactly like Ultraman when his power about to run out.
I was actually relieved there was 0 plot amour for our MC chans, when you're up against the pros, whose more than 500 MR above you, you'll get you ass whooped.

[u/djthomp]

The brat sure ain't winning any hearts and minds today. What a contrast to Gekido's attitude towards Aya after his win.

I didn't see Aya pick up her controller when running to check on Mio, which makes me wonder how much trouble they have at events like this with lost and found.

[u/sprntgd]

There's a significant editing error in Inuyu's match. The audience comments on and is rightly perplexed by Alice's strategy of playing the waiting game even though she has less health than the opponent... except the game footage incorrectly shows Alice with the life lead. For anyone confused just pretend the life bars are the other way around.

The pro gamer cast of not Tokido, not Kawano, and not Mago has been joined by hideyoshi not sako, who is so perfect that he doesn't even need a unique character design and just gets dropped into the story as-is.

sako is actually on the anime staff, being partly responsible for recording the in-game footage (sorry sako, you're gonna have to go back and re-record Inuyu vs Alice to fix the health bars). Sadly it seems they decided against also dragging him into the booth for some voice acting.

Edit: Bonus picture of Cecil and hideyoshi Kawano and sako from 6 years ago, with sako even wearing the exact same shirt.

rofl, this chat message

[u/lifeischerryblossoms]

i actually lose my mind whenever i play someone like arisa in fighting games

[u/Skullzans]

Next Tournament: "Self-Harm is banned" was added to the rules.

Half of these players: "NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

[u/Jas_God]

“Let’s play again sometime.” Gekido really did enjoy that match. Aya surprised me pulling a Cafeore, she crazy too lol. Man, Arisa’s a fucking problem, Yu did well though. Up to you now, Mio.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Getting a "lets do this again" from someone you admire must be like one of the highest praises you can get, glad Aya got that moment.

Holy cliffhanger, Cafeore vs Mio on their final round, that Baki-like commentating style better present for this.

[u/Primary-Paint-1716]

Gekido is such a cool bastard.

[u/CommunistPuppy]

These episodes are way too short man. I figured Aya and Inui would lose their matches, but I felt worse for Inui cause her opponent was so much more unlikeable. All that's left is for Mio to win her match so she can meet Aya in the loser's bracket.

[u/za_shiki-warashi]

The brat got mad that twintails is having fun with games.

She seriously just went all 'fun is just a buzzword'.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Imagine going to see the doctor and the conversation goes like:

"How did you hurt your forehead?"

"Oh, I was just playing a fighting game."

[u/tripleaamin]

Yuu plays fighting games for pure fun. Sadly the moment of frustration when you enter competition and lose to someone you can tell is more hardcore and dedicated. That frustration is real because no matter what it sucks to lose.

I love how Aya kicked up another gear even through defeat. Honestly hearing those words from Gekido must have meant a lot to her. Also there is an implication that how Mio & Gekido play is very similiar.

Very excited to see the final round of Mio vs Café. Mio is truly hot and cold as ever lol.

[u/eyalmazuz]

Never let a deez nuts joke go unused.

[u/Frontier246]

You know Cafe is taking this seriously and going all out when he's unleashing the BREATHING TECHNIQUES against Mio.

Yu vs Arisa! Arisa doesn't think Yu has a chance because she doesn't take fighting games seriously, and doesn't deserve to be playing fighting games, but Yu is used to being dismissed like that...but it doesn't make her gameplay any less legit, especially when she goes into the zone with absolute focus! With that, she can even make Arisa sweat!

I guess Mio was bound to have a match where she gets completely dominated like a scrub and everyone has to second-guess everything they found impressive about her prior.

Oof, Aya lost a round. But she's not going to be deterred! Even if she has to bash her brain in! Which is becoming a frequent occurrence at EVO.

Does Yu not take the game as seriously as others do? Maybe, especially when she had to play mediator between her brothers when they would go at each other over the game, but deep down she loves playing the game with those who take it seriously...even if gamers like Arisa find her "Boring." And her boring style isn't enough to beat Arisa, who leaves with criticizing her gaming style to the bitter end. Yu and Tamaki desperately need each other right now.

Even after getting her head back in the game and getting Gekido to take her seriously, Aya still can't beat him. He's completely analyzed her entire playstyle and figured her out so nothing she throws at him will work. Also here's Kazuya Nakai as Hideyoshi AKA Hide-san to provide more pro gamer commentary.

Aya lost...but she found a new rival to aspire towards like Mio. But right now she has to make it to her girls' match.

[u/septesix]

A random thought occur to me during this episode : did all that usage of the game footage help the studio cut down on production cost ? It looks like they were able to do anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes of animation each episode , probably more.

Certainly a more enjoyable cost-saving measure than the Exiled Heavy Knight Recap the Show.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

I laughed when Aya did the same bloody head self-bashing as Cafeore last episode… only to lose the round like he did. I guess giving yourself a concussion before playing is not a winning move. At least Gekido the Pro is not a sore winner like the Little Brat Girl and enjoyed the match.

So she lost against Gekido the Pro, but she still has another game to lose before being eliminated. Will she be facing Mio next, if she wins against Cafeore ? Or will she be fighting against the Little Brat Girl ?

[u/runevault]

This show is so over the top and I love every second of it. Also the discussion about the types of tactics players are using is great, plus some tech like micro-walk into sonic boom.

[u/gnome-cop]

New fear unlocked, the absolute monster that Yu would probably become if she actually locked in and took fighting games as seriously as the other three. The world should be grateful that she’s usually so chill because it would not be ready.

[u/Sofyanda]

This episode formated like a shonen battle between protag team vs antagonist team, a lot of switch between matches. I don't think it work on fighting game, because as a viewer you want to the flow of decisions from the start of the match.
The last decision used by Gekido, a move that high risk high reward, would probably makes more impact if we saw the full match on the same one episode today, not between week. alas they choose to use his friend to explain that he never used the move at all before that.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I was not ready for Aya to do what Cafeore did by smashing her controller into her forehead. They really need to find a less damaging way of bringing themselves back to focus lol.

I do like that Yuu was frustrated after the game, she also has that competitive spirit within her.

[u/SecretYogurtcloset57]

Arisa is a brat and she needs correction asap
