To this day, the best fighting game tournament ever. It never got better than this. I had the finals saved in my hard drive back then and watched over and over.
What a time capsule! Watching these crappy quality videos back in the day always made Japanese arcades feel like they existed in another dimension to me. Just completely alien, conceptually. The distance was palpable, you know? And the bootleg on-screen graphics, the horrible sound quality, the arcade ambience, watching them over and over and the feeling of idolising and studying and imitating certain players... What a special time. This was 20 years ago... and Deshiken has still been playing the exact same insane style since then. He's just always been kinda nuts, huh? What a trip.
They had a thriving arcade scene for training, and mooks (magazine+book, I shit you not) with framedata, tech etc released regularly for arcade games, and SBO and coop cup were recorded and sold in VHS. It’s not like there was no documentation.
Their community were about sharing and learning from each other. Getting better daily like the Pakistani Tekken scene. Unlike the Western approach back in the day. When you would NOT show your best until the tournament. Hence 'save it for the nationals' saying. So glad with streaming and TH-cam content creators changed that mind set. Because it was about who could find the dopest tech first.

back then on the srk forums Mopreme said he was the Ryu in the very first match
To this day, the best fighting game tournament ever. It never got better than this. I had the finals saved in my hard drive back then and watched over and over.
What year is this?
@@simonb.8868 2002 but a lot of us didnt get it till like mid 2000s or even later. Wish I saved more of those old match videos from Combovideos..
What a time capsule! Watching these crappy quality videos back in the day always made Japanese arcades feel like they existed in another dimension to me. Just completely alien, conceptually.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The raw audience reaction and hype was the best + no annoying try-hard commentary
as a young'n watched this all the time good memories :)
Thank you so much for the upload!!! You are a legend man...
Gods this was hype from the very first match!
Insane that players were THIS good without the internet, huh?

1:06:53 Beautiful
2:28:20 fair and balanced
1:10:14 - Diago-esque comeback from Tokido
