Victor Woodley, a pro in fighting game, well known as Punk, says he lost the match at this weekend’s fighting game event Evo Pan Japan, due to a “malfunction” in the PlayStation 5 that plagued previous tournaments, not a problem with skills. Punk has blown up EVO organizers because it has not addressed the issue, saying it will not compete in future tournaments even if the issues continue.
“The PS5 is a very ass,” Punk posted on X (formerly Twitter). Fatal anger: The city of wolves This is because “the MS MS is walking back the pads and nothing else works.” Punk said the same thing happened at EVO Japan last year during six street fighter games.
Punk writes to X: “If this PS5 issue is constructed and players continue to lose their game to something that is not actually losing to the player, they will rather play the consoles they will make us play because they have decided to run the tournament on this console, so I personally will stop participating in the tournament. You.”
Punk is one of the most popular players in the fighting game scene. He solidified his legacy with strong results with the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Capcom Pro Tours over the past few years. He has been highly praised by multiple fighting game tournaments and is currently Street Fighter 6 EVO Champion. His posts on the issue of the PS5 reached nearly a million viewers.
When Punk posted his frustration, his detractor quickly wrote him down as a salty person about losing the game. However, some FGC members have posted similar stories. I had a similar problem Guilty Gear will strive set. Some competitors complained that the PS5 was overheating, causing the frame to plummet and the controller input to stop working.
According to people who frequently attended the event, this year, Evo Japan had multiple issues with the console and setup. EVO Japan, which debuted in 2018 as a spinoff of the main EVO tournament, has a history of console malfunctioning that has affected the set and ruined the top eight of multiple games. Viewers and competitors want a solution before the next event.
