Team Liquids Du NuckleDu Dang won the 2016 Capcom Cup in the first all-American final over Evil Geniuses Ricki Ortiz and cemented himself as the best fighter in the world and the first American to win the Cup.Despite all the buildup pertaining to the juggernaut region of Asia, it was North America that commanded the Capcom Cup headlines. NuckleDu and Ortiz were the most dominant fighters from the winners side and met in the winners finals to guarantee two of the top three spots from the tournament.[Things turned around] when I lost more than I ever had and the NBA got involved with Team Liquid. NuckleDu said explaining his slow start to the season.NuckleDu looked like he solved the Street Fighter V puzzle with his mix of Rainbow Mika, Guile and Nash to cover every matchup. He achieved his success by alternating his approaches between aggressive V-skill use and defensive zoning through Sonic Booms. NuckleDu dictated the ground through fireball control and was impossible to jump in on as a result.I believe I have perfect synergy between Guile and Mika because they cover each others bad matchups, NuckleDu said.Ortiz dominated through movement. She applied her patented offensive style by walking into perfect spots for her long-ranged normals to take effect. After that, it was a variety of mix-up options that dismantled her opponents. Both players came into the final day of Capcom Cup in the winners bracket and backed up their claim as dominant global threats.Competitors from Japan made up six of the top eight spots and showcased a variety of styles. All of the unique flavors of Street Fighter V, whether it was the slow and deliberate ground games of Team Razers Keita Fuudo Ai and YOUDEALs Tatsuya MJS|Haitani Haitani or the frenetic pace of all-out offense from GGPs Ryota Kazunoko Inoue, were covered. In the end only one player, Kazunoko, made it into the top three, however.Kazunoko, 2015 Capcom Cup champion, was in top form. His Rolodex of offensive options with Cammy left the majority of his opponents in defensive positions, and his unpredictable reversal predictions made him a true monster, despite falling short in the semifinals.The grand finals: NuckleDu against Ricki OrtizIt was Asian domination throughout the Capcom Pro Tour, but the Capcom Cup grand finals was a matchup of two Americans for the first time. NuckleDu crushed Ortiz in the winners finals in convincing fashion, but Ortiz responded with a similar result in the losers finals against Kazunoko. It was a leveled battlefield.It looked dire from the start of the set. NuckleDu continued his winning ways against Ortiz in the grand finals and did so by controlling the neutral game with Rainbow Mika. Ortizs hard reads, that did so well for her throughout the tournament, were baited and punished to the fullest degree, and the pace never ended up favoring her. NuckleDu sped the game up to his liking and slowed it down when he wanted to activate his V-trigger; it was his set to lose from the opening game. When it was done, confetti rained down on him, and he was crowned the best Street Fighter V player in the world.The lone blemish: character varietySeason 2 cannot come any sooner. The top tiers of Street Fighter V were in full display from the start of the Capcom Cup until the very end. In the top eight, there were three Chun-Lis represented, and most of the elite tiers comprised the rest of the field. If there was one glaring issue in the games balance, it was the separation between what was truly considered a competitive character and a tournament-winning one.The balance changes for most of the usual characters that made up the top eight during the 2016 Capcom Pro Tour are sure to come, but there cannot be a repeat of the repetition.The final rounds of the Capcom Cup will be rebroadcast on ESPN2 on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Jerrod Haase received a long, loud ovation upon his return to Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday.The rest of the cheers were for the Jayhawks.Frank Mason III scored 20 points, Devonte Graham delivered an early 3-point barrage and fourth-ranked Kansas pulled away late for an 89-74 victory over Stanford, spoiling the return of the Cardinals coach to the building where he once starred as a player.Certainly an emotional day, Haase said. My emotions right now are more frustrated we didnt play at a higher level, but for me personally, it means a lot -- the reception.The Jayhawks (7-1) hardly greeted him as warmly, using their speed, depth and outside shooting to turn a 43-35 halftime lead into another rout at a building that has seen its share of them.We talked about how they packed the lane and how we were going to have to drive, pitch and drive it again, Graham said. We just did a good job of moving the ball, attacking bad close-outs and having the confidence to let them fly.Graham hit five 3s and finished with 15 points, and Josh Jackson and Svi Mykhailiuk added 13 points apiece, as the Jayhawks won for the 44th consecutive time in their old barn.Reid Travis had a career-best 29 points and nine rebounds for Stanford (6-3), doing most of his damage at the free throw line. The career 54 percent free throw shooter was 19 of 22, breaking the school record for makes set by Todd Lichti against UC Santa Barbara during the 1987-88 season.Travis also set records for makes and attempts in a game against Kansas. Rayford Young of Texas Tech hit 18 foul shots in February 1999 and Iowa States Craig Brackins attempted 21 in January 2009.I felt like my teammates did a great job of establishing me early, getting me in the post, Travis said. I knew I had to draw a lot of fouls, get us to the line early and get a rhythm going.After falling into an early deficit, Kansas coach Bill Self began going with a bigger lineup to deal with Travis in the paint, and that seemed to open up Graham on the perimeter. He knocked down all five of his 3-pointers in the first half, helping the Jayhawks to a 43-35 lead.ddddddddddddStanford kept going to Travis inside, and the 6-foot-8 brute kept going to the free throw line. During two separate stretches of the second half, he made four free throws in less than a minute.He drew basically 17 fouls on four guys, so that just goes to tell you we didnt play the scouting report, Self said. Our guys just played butt-behind and let him go wherever he wanted to go.The Jayhawks showcased their versatility in other areas, though.Down the stretch, Jackson scored on a nifty dunk off an alley-oop pass, Mason got a tilting runner to go while crashing to the floor, and Mykhailiuk knocked down 3-pointers from the wing that sent the lead ballooning toward 20 late in the game.BIG PICTUREStanfords first-year coach played three seasons for the Jayhawks under Roy Williams, and later served as their director of basketball operations. Haase then followed Williams to North Carolina, but he was fondly received on Saturday, getting a massive ovation from an appreciative crowd.I remember clearly walking into Allen Fieldhouse when I was first recruited, Haase said, and I think Ill remember the feeling at shootaround today, walking into the arena.Kansas snapped a two-game skid against the Cardinal that included an NCAA Tournament loss in 2014, when Andrew Wiggins and Co. couldnt slow down Stanford in St. Louis. The Jayhawks were even able to get their benchwarmers some action for the third straight game.STATS AND STREAKMason led the Jayhawks in scoring for the fifth time in eight games. ... Kansas had 20 assists and only nine turnovers. ... Travis was just 5 of 14 from the field. ... Stanford was 2 of 8 from beyond the arc. ... The Cardinal only had seven assists on 21 field goals.UP NEXTStanford gets nearly two weeks off before playing Cal State East Bay on Dec. 16.Kansas continues its six-game home stand against Missouri-Kansas City on Tuesday night.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
