I can honestly say this was the best match of EVO 2013. Every other fight from every other game was very good, but for me, this takes the cake. This whole match should be an official EVO Moment.
That last fight was so fitting. after all the Morrigan keep away, to be timed out. it is also kinda cool how it would have been a unique quote with vergil and akuma "NOW YOU HAVE WITNESSED WHAT A TRUE DEMON CAN DO"
Dude I was there, and even though I wasn't watching the smash finals the chant for "One more year!" at the end was so loud you could hear it anywhere in the area. There was a big crowd watching every game.
Totally agree. I still can't believe the run Wong went on. When he came back on Chris G I was thinking "This dude literally just saved Marvel". And then he goes on to make the tourney HYPE as hell. So awesome dude.
Yep, it all depends on the matchup. Look at something like Zangief v Sakura in SF4 for example - Sakura usually wants to go in hard because she does so much damage up close, but because she's playing against 'gief she has to change her gameplan simply because of the danger of his 2 frame command grabs.
but.. are u trying to argue that lag affects morrigan just as much as it affects wolverine...? i dont like chris g but to be fair. you could do wolverine combos on PSN while on wifi if u wanted. the execution for morrigan combos are harder imo.
this... and i cant believe im gonna say it... definitely up there up evo moment 37. not better but it definitely is amazing. this the closest we will get to that feeling. i was so hype and behind justin all the way after that.
I'm a Melee player first and foremost, but outside of that, J Wong's tear through Marvel top 8 was BY FAR the hypest shit at Evo this year, hands down.
I've realized that my favorite characters in fighting games are always considered "lame" in the FGC. I used Phoenix before I even knew she could transform. I also loved Morrigan since Darkstalkers and loved her mobility and mix-up options, then she was exposed for her zoning.
My point was Chris can figure out what works the best for him at any game, that's part of being a great player. There are other people who use Chris's team or Morrigan but they don't make it as far as him cause he knows the game more than they do. It is why he was the only Morrigan in top 8, so it's not just the team it's him.
This was my 1st time watching evo event!! This match was my favorite for marvel. Im always rooting for chris g and justin wong!!!Very entertaining and pro gamers! Amazing comeback by MR.WONG aka"IN LOGAN WE TRUST"lol
I couldn't agree more. That's a Competitors mentality, if you really don't care, then you'll never be frustrated or angry at a loss. However here it's about Winning, Nothing else matters.
THIS is my number 1 Evo 2013 moment bar none. Always been a huge Justin fan the guy just plays so damn good in every game and to see him KNOCK OUT Chris G with a 3 game win streak blew my fuckin mind. Seriously sucks for Chris man the dude wins almost every tournament then drops the ball where it counts.
I was actually going for chris at the end only because I like Vergil better than Akuma. But im glad Justin won. This is an example to show that playing cheap doesn't mean you will always win especially when it comes to such a grand stage like this.When all these factors are present people body and mind tend to become really powerful and they become capable of doing the impossible.
I sorta agree w/ most of what you said besides a few things. ChrisG doesn't have a horrible attitude, he just doesn't have the right composure when he loses. Champ can definitely come off as a douche, but everything needs a villain. Justin hasn't grown over the years, he's still the same player he was in the past, he's a Showman. When he celebrated back in 09 it was bad, but now since he hasn't "won" as much he's become a favorite. I've never disliked Justin though, dude was always legit.
It isn't Capcom's fault dude - I don't know the specifics, but it comes down to rights management, they aren't the sole rights holder for the mvc series because of the deal made to secure the content, so they can't just patch it any time they want like they can with SF4 which they DO own 100%.
8:05 So Yipes is rooting for Justin, and tries to hype him up by yelling "Let's Go Justin!"... a line that is synonymous with EVO Moment 37 in which Justin, in fact, lost. #YipesLogic
Hmmmm, I know Chris was playing patient by the end of that last match with vergil but he was playing WAY patient for a vergil that has two bars... you think chris threw the match? Idk, im probably over-thinking this...
Yeah, but this is still amazing for the sheer fact that almost NO ONE could defeat Chris G (well, almost, he is in Losers, so he had to have been taken down at some point). But just that weight alone made this oh so much better.
Looks like a Standing M into Slash. The trick is you have to time the Standing M as a meaty against Vergil when he's coming in to beat his incoming normals (you'd lose to super though)
Does anyone here still remember CEO 2011? It was a losers Finals. ChrisG lost also that match by timeout. lol Seems like every ChrisG vs. Justin match was HYPE!!
goddamn hidden missiles are complete bullshit how does capcom make drones disappear when sentinel gets hit (which is fair) but not doom? wtf were they thinking
Not at all suprising that Justin is able to pull of an upset, but I don't expect it to be this close! Tough luck for ChrisG. It's frustrating to see this awful matchup but Justin has shown that he can still do marvels with his old team. This won't be the last time he does it and I doubt he will ever leave Storm.
LOL by the time sf4 finals were finishing it was like 1am on the EC, by the time marvel and sf4 came on, most people around the world went to sleep. The fact 100 people were watching at that time is amazing honestly. Smash was hype as hell, but its really not fair to compare the view count due to time slots.
This was the best live match I've ever seen. After years of watching Justin archives it's great to see the Wong factor in person.
Greatest match of UMvC3 of all time? I think so
I agree
champ vs chris g evo 2012 was as much exciting as this
I can honestly say this was the best match of EVO 2013. Every other fight from every other game was very good, but for me, this takes the cake. This whole match should be an official EVO Moment.
Without a doubt, one of the best matches I've seen this year, including the match match against F locker. Well played J. Wong
Thanks. Guess that fits given that JWong lost to him in finals. Does anyone know where I can find Flocker vs ChrisG from evo2013?
I saw this live I had to watch it again. I was on the edge of my sit. Pure hype!
The entire story of Justin Wong at EVO this year was just insane. Damn, that was awesome.
This is the Hypest match of marvel that I've ever witnessed! Evo is anyone's for the taking now! What an amazing performance by Justin Wong!
That last fight was so fitting. after all the Morrigan keep away, to be timed out. it is also kinda cool how it would have been a unique quote with vergil and akuma "NOW YOU HAVE WITNESSED WHAT A TRUE DEMON CAN DO"
this was the game of evo this past year. one of the most exiting things i've ever seen
first time watching evo live and it was so amazingggggg
Dude I was there, and even though I wasn't watching the smash finals the chant for "One more year!" at the end was so loud you could hear it anywhere in the area. There was a big crowd watching every game.
Justin is just amazing, using a basically low tier team against the king of spam and winning
Totally agree. I still can't believe the run Wong went on. When he came back on Chris G I was thinking "This dude literally just saved Marvel". And then he goes on to make the tourney HYPE as hell. So awesome dude.
It was Windzero . there are a few Videos here on YT :)
Will the whole umvc3 top 8 be on a video.
Wow... i am above thirty years old and umvc3@ EVO gives me goosebumbs and watery eyes, am i the only one? hahaha cheers to all players!
Can someone explain what happens at the end of match 2-2 with wolverine beating helmbreaker? What move is he using? H into Slash?
Doesn any one know of a play where I can watch the full top 8? And hopefully in better quality!
where did chris get those glasses, what are they called if anyone knows
The HYPEST timeout I've ever watched!!
Yep, it all depends on the matchup. Look at something like Zangief v Sakura in SF4 for example - Sakura usually wants to go in hard because she does so much damage up close, but because she's playing against 'gief she has to change her gameplan simply because of the danger of his 2 frame command grabs.
Who was Justin hugging at the end of the match?
but.. are u trying to argue that lag affects morrigan just as much as it affects wolverine...? i dont like chris g but to be fair. you could do wolverine combos on PSN while on wifi if u wanted. the execution for morrigan combos are harder imo.
this... and i cant believe im gonna say it... definitely up there up evo moment 37. not better but it definitely is amazing. this the closest we will get to that feeling. i was so hype and behind justin all the way after that.
This match definitely brought tears to my eyes.
I'm a Melee player first and foremost, but outside of that, J Wong's tear through Marvel top 8 was BY FAR the hypest shit at Evo this year, hands down.
I've realized that my favorite characters in fighting games are always considered "lame" in the FGC. I used Phoenix before I even knew she could transform. I also loved Morrigan since Darkstalkers and loved her mobility and mix-up options, then she was exposed for her zoning.
Who's list are we talking about here?
By original do you mean vergil and doom?
Wow Chris G's team is so amazing! Such a crazy good lockdown game. And I thought Ghost Rider's chain was hard to get past!
I've never been so excited for a game EVER
My point was Chris can figure out what works the best for him at any game, that's part of being a great player. There are other people who use Chris's team or Morrigan but they don't make it as far as him cause he knows the game more than they do. It is why he was the only Morrigan in top 8, so it's not just the team it's him.
What's more ironic is that Justin Wong was once the hype killer in Mvc2, yet brought the hype here.
Jwong has always been my favorite marvel player, and fg player in general. I nearly screamed myself hoarse during his matches in top 8
This was my 1st time watching evo event!! This match was my favorite for marvel. Im always rooting for chris g and justin wong!!!Very entertaining and pro gamers! Amazing comeback by MR.WONG aka"IN LOGAN WE TRUST"lol
Wow. That is one of the best matches I have ever seen. It sucked that he got second place in the Grand Finals.
is christ g hispanic mx or pr?
I couldn't agree more. That's a Competitors mentality, if you really don't care, then you'll never be frustrated or angry at a loss. However here it's about Winning, Nothing else matters.
Justin Wong still gives inspiration to the FGC, thank you for making it LOOK like Mor/Doom is beatable
THIS is my number 1 Evo 2013 moment bar none. Always been a huge Justin fan the guy just plays so damn good in every game and to see him KNOCK OUT Chris G with a 3 game win streak blew my fuckin mind. Seriously sucks for Chris man the dude wins almost every tournament then drops the ball where it counts.
If Justin won Grand Finals, this would've been one of the MOST LEGENDARY EVO'S!!!! But at the end of the day, Justin Wong won everyone's heart!!!
When someday Fighting game hall of fame is founded, Justin Wong will be a first ballot HOFer. He is a fucking living legend man.
I'm not a big UMVC3 fan, but MAN!!! This was an awesome match.
10:20 the way Yipes says "Jus-ten wahng" I laugh everytime
WE JUST GOT A REAL MATCH!!! LETS GO!!! LETS GO!!!
I was actually going for chris at the end only because I like Vergil better than Akuma. But im glad Justin won. This is an example to show that playing cheap doesn't mean you will always win especially when it comes to such a grand stage like this.When all these factors are present people body and mind tend to become really powerful and they become capable of doing the impossible.
Actually go watch it on spookys channel hes got everything in 720p
I sorta agree w/ most of what you said besides a few things. ChrisG doesn't have a horrible attitude, he just doesn't have the right composure when he loses. Champ can definitely come off as a douche, but everything needs a villain. Justin hasn't grown over the years, he's still the same player he was in the past, he's a Showman.
When he celebrated back in 09 it was bad, but now since he hasn't "won" as much he's become a favorite. I've never disliked Justin though, dude was always legit.
OMFG. JUSTIN WONG. HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDEEE I WAS SO HYPE WATCHING THIS!
It isn't Capcom's fault dude - I don't know the specifics, but it comes down to rights management, they aren't the sole rights holder for the mvc series because of the deal made to secure the content, so they can't just patch it any time they want like they can with SF4 which they DO own 100%.
this match still gives me the chills.
8:05
So Yipes is rooting for Justin, and tries to hype him up by yelling "Let's Go Justin!"... a line that is synonymous with EVO Moment 37 in which Justin, in fact, lost.
#YipesLogic
If this EVO gets summarized in one match, this is it.
Hmmmm, I know Chris was playing patient by the end of that last match with vergil but he was playing WAY patient for a vergil that has two bars... you think chris threw the match? Idk, im probably over-thinking this...
Really good showing from both players! :)
What is EVO without Justin Wong...
Yeah, but this is still amazing for the sheer fact that almost NO ONE could defeat Chris G (well, almost, he is in Losers, so he had to have been taken down at some point). But just that weight alone made this oh so much better.
@Mattforce360
YOU don't know about the Third Eye and the Chakras.
best evo finals ever
KoF was amazing as usual, no one cares about Smash or Injustice but Marvel and SF fucking delivered.
I just loved this fight!
that crouching M that stuffed the Helm Breaker? Kreygasm.
THAT WONG FACTOR WAS TOO REAL THIS MATCH!!! OMFG!
Looks like a Standing M into Slash. The trick is you have to time the Standing M as a meaty against Vergil when he's coming in to beat his incoming normals (you'd lose to super though)
what about....Hakaaaannnn!! or pr rog? or the crowd going 'hee' everytime time tokido throws an air fireball? god so many awesome moments!
I'd still put Evo moment 37 above this still, but this comes closer than anything else.
this is one of the best clutch comebacks
I still get hype as fuck whenever I watch this
Wasn't flocker it was windzero
who put chris g in loooosers?it wasnt flocker
This was fantastic! Chat exploded! To lose to double chip supers though had to hurt so bad. tt
You entered the Wong neighborhood chris g
Dam what a comeback to take the sets..
you know whats hilarious? chris g previously used akuma as an anchor before switching to vergil, even before morrigan/doom
I haven't even used this game and I can see this crazy impressive o.o
these tournament players..
Justin had no gimmicks his fundamentals are TOO GODLIKE
Going into the last match I am pretty sure Chris G says, "yo, the slow down is so bad"
Wouldn't get as far? Is that why gets top 8 at almost every fighter he plays and was getting far with his ryu team?
Any match where chrisg gets floored from his missilefist spamfest is a joy to behold.
actually there is a VERY SLIGHT Input lag capcom did not fix on the ps3, that's what he means.
Does anyone here still remember CEO 2011? It was a losers Finals. ChrisG lost also that match by timeout. lol Seems like every ChrisG vs. Justin match was HYPE!!
Good for Justin! Never liked him but after seeing the zoning gameplay from that other guy I started rooting for Justin.
This was the Hypest moment in evo
Such a shame Justin didn't end up winning EVO. It would have been the greatest stretch to a championship!
Justin is dancin right now! Yet another Evo moment by jwong, omg!
Those classic Justin Wong comebacks
Infinite combos...why are they still in the game? I get they aren't the most practical but why not patch them out?
Spam much with morrigan?
crouching M but vergil needs to be exactly coming out and you have to time it
Unbelievable with the Storm comeback
That was the Wong factor friend, not a fluke. This isn't the first time Justin has made comebacks like these.
ChrisG was on that smooth sailing until he hit a hailstorm
Please can somebody tell me why people hate Chris G.. Seriously..
hypest time-out i've ever seen.
"Instant classic" enough said
thats the Wong Factor in full effect
This is incredible, but evo moment 37 is still the best, this however tops any comeback of Justin's in the past.
goddamn hidden missiles are complete bullshit how does capcom make drones disappear when sentinel gets hit (which is fair) but not doom? wtf were they thinking
Not at all suprising that Justin is able to pull of an upset, but I don't expect it to be this close! Tough luck for ChrisG. It's frustrating to see this awful matchup but Justin has shown that he can still do marvels with his old team. This won't be the last time he does it and I doubt he will ever leave Storm.
LOL by the time sf4 finals were finishing it was like 1am on the EC, by the time marvel and sf4 came on, most people around the world went to sleep. The fact 100 people were watching at that time is amazing honestly. Smash was hype as hell, but its really not fair to compare the view count due to time slots.
