Herken’s Sol battles Ogawa’s Zato=1 in a surprising Mikaten Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 set

As usual, Joniosan’s channel is a reliable source of top quality Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 footage. Our coverage of Mikaten continues with another exciting set. World’s most famous Zato=1 player, “Lord” Ogawa, battles Herken (Haaken), who uses Sol, in a dramatic first-to-ten.

Herken’s Sol is the real king of the spectacle here. His nickname should be “one touch death” Sol. He starts off by dominating Ogawa for several rounds, showing extremely optimized combos and capitalizing just about from every hit. Practically every combo ends in a corner-carry knockdown. What’s more, Herken plays around Zato=1 and his minion like few people can; even though Sol doesn’t have too many neutral tools, the player does whatever he can to avoid getting caught in tough pressure from Ogawa. It’s definitely a must-watch. Don’t forget to adjust your system’s sound balance to hear only English commentary.

Don’t forget to check out the other exciting Mikaten sets: Ogawa vs. Machaboo and Fumo vs. 2Rio.
