One of the most exciting parts of Saturday's MLG Columbus Tekken 6 tournament came in the second semifinals, when Fighting GM made an insane run to defeat Knee.
As part of his run, GM won 11 consecutive rounds to turn the tide in his favor. It was a sight to behold, in part because momentum seems to be a big thing when non-Koreans face off against the Koreans. That was the case when Kor won four consecutive games to beat Holeman and win the Orlando regional.
Aside from GM's first-combo win percentage (.867), the complete line score from that specific match, much like the title match, didn't open up any eyeballs. However, the 11-round winning streak was near perfection.
GM got the first combo nine times, including five in a row when he started his streak. He also had a combined 16 juggling and wall combos (1.455); in the other 12 rounds played, he had only six (.500).
But more importantly, he was able to withstand the damage given to him.
Knee pulled off two wall combos during the streak. Each time, GM was sent to less than 25 percent health and in danger of losing. Despite that, GM rallied back to win both rounds.
GM also won only three times with more than 50 percent health. I'm not sure if that's a surprise though, considering that it is Knee. Unfortunately for GM, the momentum quickly evaporated in the title match.
