I would love the chance to direct donate too

It was a blast to be part of this even though I was eliminated fairly early. Justin pours so much into the community and this show is just more evidence of that-plus I met so many awesome training partners in the other contestants. GGs all and congrats to Mothman. I wanted the Marisa dub but ngl my money was on Mothman. He is simply CRACKED.

Good fucking shit brother. Taking care of business.

After facing a few eliminations he places himself on top. What a fun ride! GG Mothman and big ups to Justin for making this happen. The FGC needs all it can get, lets continue to grow and support our content creators

Good on Mothman. He been around for a minute and definitely earned it. Great competition all around though. Hope we get to see a NXT UP for UMvC3!

Yipes: "Rising uppercut... yes, the caucasian male strikes again." 😂that's just brilliant

i will update this comment after EVO to let everyone know if mothman bought us a round of drinks

2:04 bringing the crew back put the cheesiest smile on my face😭

I was so happy I got to come back!

What a top tier pro spec final vid. Great work

Thank YOU for making this a reality. We(FGC) appreciate you. Hope we see more of that type of content in the near future.

Such a fun series to watch, thank you Justin, thank you every single partecipant, congrats Mothman! and thanks editors and guests! this was a really fun series, hopefully we get a S2 with more/different regions or even more players, curious to see what you're cooking Justin. Thank you so much!

The Justin Wong and Mothman arc came full circle and had a good ending after the Evo 2023 match lol

:O me seeing nate making a comeback, 😢me realizing there's only 10 mins left in the vid

Can we get some love for the series editor(s)? Even just this episode is SO much simultaneous footage to choose from and an even bigger challenge to keep it coherent for the viewers. Fantastic job y’all

GGs Mothman and all the NxtUp cast. You put a great show! Can't wait to see all of you competing from now on.🎉🎉

Mothman said in the beginning that I could beat these guy one by one n he did congrats brotha wat an inspiration

Mothman really felt like the protagonist of this show so it's fitting that he won in the end lol

I love this series I hope it comes back next year.

Congratulations Mothman! 👏👏👏 Whao man I did not see that coming, dude went through so many elimination rounds, well done. I thought Triumph was gonna take it and I was betting on Nate

This show was so good! Glad to see Mothman take it. Justin this was a blast, appreciate all the work putting this together. Excited for the next season!

I'm looking forward to nxt up season 2 so damn much 😤

I am too, I can't wait. So this is why ppl get hooked on reality style shows 😅

The first time I've ever seen a video game reality show!!! Phenomenal work Mr. Wong!!!

I love how our top 3 all got a story at the start Nate Banks the big bad everyone is intimidated by, Triumph the modern monster that dominated the season, and Mothman the dark horse who broke through and won it all

What a great finale! Congrats to the winner (I wont give it away for those that haven't watched it all)!!! Thank you Justin for a great series, super cool guest and an all around great group of contenders! GGs all!

I really liked this season. Props to Justin and his team. It was great each week. Small not too long episodes. Edited pretty well and concise. Keep it up and can't' wait to watch season 2! See you guys at EVO!

Mothman believer since day 1. I've been waiting for him to stomp the competition and win maybe as much as him. Congratulations Mothman, you were truly the best

I recently became a fan of you when I first saw your videos of you challenging people to complete those challenges of different type of video games like the footsies one and all that and I loved your energy and your person and so I subscribed. And even before that, I watched an EVO video years ago where it was of their best moments and I remember being hyped when I saw that ChunLi and Ken clip and I was shocked and excited to find out it was you! Like just me seeing KZread videos throughout the years and not finding out all those moments where I thought they were cool and fun to watch; the whole time being someone I’m watching now! So like I’m basically seeing you grow up and do amazing things and great content and still in the fighting community is just great to see! Im a smash bros player but because I love your personality I watched this whole series and through out it, it made me want to play street fighter. This series was just amazing, there’s no other way to put it. You and all the commentators and these contestants were just perfect. It really got me involved into it all and I’m sad it’s over. I can’t wait for the next one. Truly truly a great job overall. Nothing but love ❤

43:35-43:49 THAT WAS 1 HELL OF A COMEBACK!!!! 😮

amazing finish to the series!!! this ride had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! thank you so much all the folks involved in this production and the competitors, yall are great and i will watch more of your content and follow the fgc journey with all the successes and love to watch the growth! its a great show and thanks justin for creating this for the fgc! lets see the next series! hyped for whats next!!!!

Moth man reminds of the boxer who downloads during the first few rounds and then puts it all together.

I loved watching every episode. Buying a shirt next Wednesday to support my future appearance...Season 3 lol

Got the best commentator you could get LETS GOOOOOO

What a ride. Great show! Congrats to the winner, shout out to all the contestants and thank you for giving me something to look forward to through out the season. Enjoyed every episode and hope you get more opportunities to do more things like this!

when I saw how mothman was bidding on the auction tournaments at combo breaker, I knew he mustve won this thing lol

Wow, what a great ending to a great series .. gg'z to everyone. can't wait to see more of this style content in the future; I really enjoyed it. thanks for hosting, Justin.

Kudos to Mothman for winning it and to Justin for putting all this together! I look forward to seeing mothmans performances in the future.

Love this format for the matches - this was excellent

Great show Justin. Shoutout to Nate Banks. Even though you got farmed like Runescape for a while, you didn't quit. The loss hurts but sticking it out makes you stronger mentally.

Amazing series, finale and love the mutual respect between everyone! Hope we can get a season 2!!

This series was so awesome!! What an intense gauntlet to the finish!! I lpok forward to seeing where the champ goes from here - defo wanna see him at the can opener

Thanks for putting this content together Justin. Hope it becomes recuring series for your channel, would like to see some other fg titles in the furture seasons💯

nice, was waiting on this and i thought it'd be sooner but then mvc collection dropped

Super cool series! It desverves a lot more views! Good job Justin!

Great show!!! Love the format, love the contestants, love the CONTENT!

Justin, this series was AWESOME!!!! I’d really love to see another series sometime.

this was a fun and unique angle to bring to the fgc, thanks for all the hard work!

Well done Mothman. Backed you from the start!

I super enjoyed the series. I do think you have to adopt a team format just like shows like survivor bc it incentives keeping good players while balancing voting off competition

Im rooting for Mothman, Triumph, or Nate if I see them in a tourney. 💯

Congrats to the winner! Been waiting for days for this finale, cant wait for season 2!

Congrats to the winner, he played great this episode. Really great finale!

First of all, congratulations to the champion...!! 🔥🏆🔥 Second, congratulations and many thanks to everyone involved in this project. And third, the truth is that the best player won...!! Simply PERFECT...!!

It's so nice to see all the contestants back again 😊

What a crazy series! So much fun!

I'd love to a s2 of NXT UP.

Let’s go Mothman I’ve been rooting for you bro

Would love to see more like this and more of mothman

Great show Justin cannot wait for the next one. Also shout out to all the competitors

I knew it! Mothman FTW!

Godlike event! Everyone was amazing! Thanks Jwonggg to bring this amazing show to everyone on the FGC!

While both my favourites were eliminated early (FemShep and Jey Uso) the conpetition was not without their challenges and the matches were intense

Thanks for the support ❤

Nate Banks is definitely my favourite to win but I don't know if he will. This is a complete toss up. I will trust my boy and update comment after watching the video. Update: GGs, Mothman deserves it he was a fucking gladiator, from episode 1. That was so fun cannot wait to see these players develop and even a season 2.

Shoutouts to Mothman🎉🎉🎉

This is how they should do tournaments, this cabinet style is cool. At least for the top 5 or something.

That ass kicking was so good i thought it was the last round xD yipes

This was exciting to watch, i look forward to the future of nxt up

That was amazing! Congratulations to the winner!

This was awesome. Great commentary 😎👍

Great show! So hype!

Black shades Johnny Cage! Go crazy Moth

Who better than the voice of the FGC to commentate the finale IFCYIPES in the building

Congrats Mothman, you killed it; Triumph, you took the set against Mothman, I believe; and Nate...go top tier, you are too good to be chilling in the mid tier (BigBird just dropped Marisa and Manon/Ryu are hitting like trucks. And also to the rest of the contestants, you were part of FGC history. Keep it coming JWong...and let my man ArroyoYo in next time!

Finally it's Here!!!!!!!

Thanks for this Jwong!

Nah this was fire man. I'll cop merch if it means yall will give the people another show

So glad nate didnt take it, i hate that guy

48:01 Happens to the best of us...

this editing is godly

I love NXT UP! Thank you Justin for an amazing season!

Great series 👌🏾🔥

23:16 Gotta win the Guessing Game...

Just got notification.... but I'm mad busy... saved to watch later! ✌🏿

OoOOo Yipes in the building! 🗽🙌🇩🇴

The Next Step for different games would be cool

What kind of advice would you give to someone who wants to start coming up in the fgc world that's not just by joining tournaments?

The long journey in Next UP is in his end, good work Mr Wong.

HOPE THERE'S A SEASON 2!!!!!! 😁

52:53 i was thinking the same thing🤣

is it safe to say I knew mothman would win from contestant announcement

This was all dope

1:09:16 Mothman STAY COOKING!!!! 🍳

big ups to all the contestants and grats to mothman !

Justin you gotta trademark, copyright this FORMAT bro!!!!!!!! From episode 1 till now!!! Great content!!!!! I mean leagues above!

"I hate this game" - IFC Yipes Yo the real stuff

If you do this again, I recommend surprise guest Woolieversus, would love to him or Reggie struggle xD.

How long ago was this recorded? I know I saw Mothman was in the results for Dreamhack Dallas, was that one of his trips?

@femshepFGC

It was all recorded late March-early April which is why the matches are on the season 1 patch. I’m pretty sure Dreamhack was one of his trips, yeah.

50:51 Right here, Should've done Meteorite...
