#4 - (midscreen Limit Strike) M > H > 2H > jc, jM > jH > jS2, (delay) jS2 ~ 4T, M > H > 2S1( held, M ), 2S1( held, M )

Probably not optimal combos, btw, but they demonstrate some of the key "phrases" these characters use together

#2 - (corner, full Bloodlust) M > H > 3H > 2S2, 4T, 2S2, 5T, [TEEMO] 6S1 > Super2, j2H, 3H > 2T, [WARWICK] jH(held) > jS1, 6S2 > 2S2 > Super1

Just one more: JonathanTene vs ChrisG, 30:05 start to finish. This is also a great set! But it is another instance of 2XKO being kind of greedy for time www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcHr...

I'm not even trying to make a point here, it's not inherently bad if a fighting game takes longer to play than usual. One might even say it's "more game to play". But in my experience 2XKO sets can kind of feel like a drag and I'm a bit shocked that high-level play isn't somehow more fast-paced

Incidentally, the fastest 2XKO Grand Finals set I found was 13:10 for a 3-0 win from the winners side with only one lost round: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZitG...

Searching for most any fighting game with "Grand Finals" brings up sets that usually end just after or well before the 20-minute mark. A big exception is Tekken, a game with 3 rounds per match (this set is 34:32 long with the same number of games as the above sets): www.youtube.com/watch?v=909Q...

By comparison, AngryBird vs Mena at Evo 2023: same number of games (9 altogether in each set), but the time difference from Round 1 Start to Final Round End is 21:15 in this SF6 set vs >35:15< in the 2XKO set. That's an extra 14 minutes, over 65% longer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orkg...

Parrying Yasuo's 6S1 is the best feeling in the game by a good margin
