A time over in Street Fighter 5?

The SoCal Regionals 2017 tournament for Street Fighter 5 has wrapped up for the day. The top eight portion of the tournament will play out tomorrow.

This was a Capcom Pro Tour Premier event. In other words, it attracted the attention of some great players.

Players like PG|Punk, GRPT|Haitani, FOX|Momochi, YouDeal|Yukadon, CYG|Snake Eyez, FOX|Justin Wong, EG|K-Brad, Chris Tatarian, CYG|PR Balrog, BrianF, XSK Samurai, and more. As you can expect, there were a number cool moments that occurred as a result of the attendees.

We've taken the time to highlight these sequences. First up is the set between Rise|MenaRD and Punk.

Despite the match up troubles that Karin has with Birdie, Punk opted to play the match up out against MenaRD. You can really tell that Punk was trying to get into MenaRD's head.

Inevitably, the damage that MenaRD's Birdie was capable of was clearly shocking to Punk. In the end, MenaRD was immune to Punk's mind games and ended things with a pop off.

This was a clutch situation for Momochi against NS|Ludovic. He managed to take it thanks to a throw loop scenario followed by an empty jump into a low.

The little "dance" between MenaRD and Haitani was pretty sick looking. MenaRD was the one who scored the whiff punish in the end.

K-Brad uses Dhalsim's long reaching limbs against him.

Here is an extremely rare sight in Street Fighter 5: Justin Wong managed to win by time over against Momochi.
