SonicFox: "The hat isn't the source of my power, it's to restrain it."
CrossboneSRB in Dragon Ball thats his training weights and when he is serious ....he takes it off....or In him playing ACTUAL Dragon Ball Fighterz he brings his entire fur suit to kick some Azz
genius
SonicFox drops his hat.
The ground shakes and the stage cracks beneath its weight.
Calm down Bui
SonicFox = Rock Lee xD
Son: Dad, tell me a story.
Me: Sit down boy. Let me tell you of the Legend of Daigo Umehara.
I tell friends stories from the FGC. Friends who aren't even into esports, but are just bored. I spin the tale the way thescore does and it almost *always* gets them hooked in, eventually watching nearly an hour of highlights, amazing comebacks, crazy tournament runs, and unbelievable domination across multiple games. It's very, very effective.
The funniest part is that he didn't even win that tournament, but people STILL rememeber that moment to this day.
@Raging Ebola Nah, the bait ain't strong enough.
Kris Doyle my friends play gaming and don’t know what fighting games are
*Conan the Barbarian theme plays*
Daigo Parry is one of the greatest display of pure skill in Evo history.
*In video game history. 15 frame perfect inputs including one after a jump; madness.
@@Wolfcone Specifically _fighting_ video game history
In GAMING history period !
In professional gaming
Society:”video games cause violence”
Actually video games: * two guys taking off their shirts *
lolol
Funny asf
It does cause violence man, did you not see what poongko did!? That’s straight up murder homie, not to mention the bodies that Mr. street fighter and the beast take on a daily basis, shits ruthless.
@@joescannoli7660 ok,boomer that is not the videogame's fault but is the fault of how that person tolerates frustration.
@@hackman4351 its a joke.
This video is 37 minutes long. This is not a coincidence.
I see what u did there
For those who don't know the ending (the last fight) was titled "Evo moment 37" which is by far the best play on this list
Why is it called that?
wiiztec still to this day don’t know just what’s its called
Yo i just realised WTF
Error thirty sheven! ERROR THIRTY SHEVEN!!!!!
Funny story...
I was there when Justin Wong won EVO in MvC3 and did the infamous "roll". A day later, the Japanese restaurant down the street from the hotel where EVO was held, started selling a Justin Wong Roll.
ashywushu k
Nice
What was on a Justin Wong Roll?
Hahaha! That's too good to be true!
jajajajajaja for real?!
Whoever recorded the Daigo parry, you may live a long healthy wealthy life, my friend!
They found i think footage from a second angle recently so I'm more like thank god they sent it out
@Bulmas Lover yeah it's nuts. That's one of the benefits of phones and stuff being so prevalent today I guess, stuff like this has a better chance of not getting lost then back then.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 damn hope you’re joking cuz that sucks
@Choas_Lord_512 do you mind giving the name of person who recorded it? im interested in what the illness was that got him hospitalized
@Choas_Lord_512 well just wondering where did you get that he was hospitalized? is there a news article or something you saw it from?
18:33 Legend says that Armada is still sitting there to this very day...
João LMAO he was still there just looking. Idk at what, but just looking straight ahead
Pondering the mistake in his calculations causing him to lose to h-box, due to the fact that, to this day, it doesn’t compute.
HAAAAAAA
Man was salty af.
Armada didn't even seem happy for HBOX's moment too
Justin thought that Daigo wouldn’t be perfect for just 1 second
He was Wong
Jtrain Tingles ASMR cmon pls
😂😂😂
Ba Dum Tss
Ya'll dont know how many times have ive seen this joke..
Jtrain Tingles ASMR get box
"It was at that moment, Justin knew... he'd f#^&!ed up."
The bit with the removal of shirts...
It's neat that the loser likely knew he would lose but decided to ... poke the tiger... just to get the crowd hyped.
Yea that clip put a smile on my face. He seems like a cool guy.
He knows that you gotta hype the crowd up to get more ticket sales
well said
Welcome to the FGC
I wish the same scenario could happen with female players.
“He was wrong.”
Somehow y’all made Evo Moment 37 EVEN better with that line.
Man, I cried with HungryBox, I love when underdogs finally get their moment.
I wouldn't call a god an underdog, but his excessive bad luck at EVO seemed to pin everything against him
I hate it that he become a clickbait chanel now.
I skipped that part bc smash isn't a fighting game.
@@destinationskyline07 ok
@@destinationskyline07
it is tho lol
Daigo didn't even win but his play is what will be remembered forever about that tournament... legendary
He won the hearts of many that day.
No he won against justin
He just didnt win the tournament lol he was 2nd
Even then he was praised as greater than any 1st place player for it
He actually won titles for SSF2 Turbo and Guilty Gear if I remember correctly.
Yep. I don't know the name of the winner of the tournament that year, and honestly, I don't know anyone who knows it without having to google it.
Fun fact: justin recently became a father, and he said that when any of his kids ask him about it, he is going to say he was the ken
"...Gambling that the beast wouldnt be perfect for one split second....he was wrong..."
Thank you Daigo.
Razburry *he was wong*
He was.. Wong..
He was manfucked
I literally had the hairs on my neck stand up when I heard that part
and he got fucking destroyed for it
The first time I ever heard about EVO was because of that Evo Moment 37. That moment sent shockwave through the world so hard that boosted game industry and media.
Daigo made a HUGE service to this niche in just that 5 seconds.
All it takes is one magical moment...
The MOST important thing to remember about Daigo vs. JWong, is that Justin had done this EXACT THING in the previous round, to close out his victory. So Daigo, KNOWING that Justin would fish for an errant action --> SA II --> clear victory......would do things that LOOKED like he might "do something", but in every instance he would *also* be tapping forward.
(For the kids at home? This is how you parried. A fair amount of before/after frame data to work with, but it was PRETTY hard to reflexively *parry* things, and harder to get the timing for a red-parry, so....you pretty much had to KNOW it was happening, or was hard-coded to know when the block --> parry timing was occuring, which was SO precise that you couldn't counter-correct on Chun-Li's SA II.)
So Daigo KNEW he was in the same position, and was reflexive-parrying on every "tic" that Chun-Li was offering. Eventually, Justin gambled, Daigo hit the first parry, and CONTINUED TO HIT THE RIGHT TIMING TO PARRY THE REST OF THE 15 HITS....
.....AND ALSO HIT THE BIGGEST COMBO HE COULD, WHICH -- seriously, I'unno if anyone has done the math on it or, but I'm curious -- WAS EXACTLY THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO WIN THE MATCH. (And was preeeeetty hard to do, on the fly, with charge-buffering and reflexive reactions to stuffs that was bein' thrown at you, and g'aaaaaaaaaah!)
this comment is severely underrated, you did your research and shows exactly why Diago is a fuckin menace from what I've seen.
Well said! As a melee player I see that street fighter is harder than I thought.
Never played fighting games other than casually with friends but this video made me appreciate it that much more and this comment explained the magnitude even more!
Thank you for adding more context to that incredible moment
Man I'm 35 today. I used to play this game. My brother and I DIDNT EVEN ATTEMPT PARRIES! We'd just block.
They were too precise. And this parries all of the combo, then an air parry and then hitting and combo finishing himself.
THE F!?
sonic: *takes hat off*
Tekken Master's face: "This energy....he's taken off his limiter."
Naruto with Kyubii chakra unleashed or Rock Lee without the weights haha
Rock Lee. I thought the same xD
Piccolo without his cape.
Said that in vegeta voice
a guy that push all of sonicfox. tekken should be very proud
Don't play fighting games. Watched this entire thing, jaw dropped several times. What an amazing community.
Hi, I Think I'm Real for the most part
Out of all the communities i really look at, or know how they are. I feel the FGC itself is the best, soo many people have soo much passion for the games they play. The pop-offs the salt make it soo amazing
It's not so hard to get into it if you're interested. :)
This passion has it's dark sides too
The above content is hyperbolic. ._.
Sonicfox hat removal was the equivalent of kenpachi taking off his eye patch and holding is sword with two hands
@@DammitwitherdrnkSenpai I’m just glad someone got the reference
@@Shrbrt so true bro
I legit cried when you showed Uncle Valle's last stand.
We all love that man. Anyone that's in the scene or interested in the scene knows he's a real one. The original.
Great video.
Dude fucking same
@@YoungPhenix Bah! Wish we could hang out IRL brother. I'm pretty sure we'd be friends pretty quickly.
Nobody in my area plays fighting games, the ones that do are so terrible that it had given me an inflated sense of ability, which was swiftly corrected the first time I played online. Lol!
@@nexxusty hell yeah friend. You on Xbox or PS4
Gey as hell
@@Nahstee What is "Gey" about shedding a few tears exactly?
Damn, how old are you? Hoping you are young so there is still hope.
Let me explain this as simply as I can. Strong Men cry, tell people about it, and doesn't give a fuck what they think. Weak Men hide their tears because they are afraid of what other "Men" will say.
LOL, just by the description of both types of Men I just gave you, if either one of them had to be chosen as "Gey" it would be Men like you, who won't let others seem them cry because of what they might think. Real Men absolutely do NOT give a fuck what another man, or anyone for that matter thinks about who they are or what they do.
Truuuuuuust me on that brother.
I wonder if fighting games would be AS big today if Daigo hadn't gotten that full parry all those years ago.
JWong died so that we may live.
noname tru dat
True.
I remember watching this repeatedly with my friends. It sparked a full summer and after school sessions of 3rd Strike and attempting to parry everything.
But then he comeback on MvC2.. and then 3
noname But then he rezzed with an MvC2 Cyclops
That moment brings a tear to my eye no matter what one of fighting games greatest moments
Sonic Fox: *Takes off hat*
Tekken Master: *Giggles* I'm in danger.
Im so tired of SonicFox honestly. He took off his hat. Big fucking whoop, nobody cared.
Stan lmao you’re mad
Stan Sonicfox taking off his hat is the equivalent to shirts coming off in a fist fight
@@picallo1 Hating much?
@@Yuno999. Im not a fan of SonicFox. No rule says I have to like him. I dont. I think he's a disrespectful ass when he plays.
12:10 Daigo sitting down right after Alex Valle’s victory was like: Ok dude, your luck ends now.
17:59 If you know HBox, like his personality, seeing him that distraught with pure happiness on his face and damn near crying about his insane win, it really pulls on your heart strings.
yeah hes the reason i played smash 900 hours
@AndrewWithEase11 11 Let's see you beat him at melee lmao he's a good guy
@AndrewWithEase11 11 Surely if you're as clever as you think you are, you'd give reasoning as to why "He sucks," just because someone is better than you and more successful doesn't mean you have to dislike them; you should support them. "Easy win."
@AndrewWithEase11 11 You took an L in the beginning replying to a comment that was made 2 years ago on fatherless fan behavior: ☝🏻🤓 "It pulls on my gag reflux"
@AndrewWithEase11 11 man you're really on hbox's dick bru you gotta hop off this is the second time i seen you come into a comment to complain lmfao
I'm not even into games and I just watched 37 mins of this and almost teared up in some parts because of how much it meant to the players.
Same
@Mike G Please tell me you're at least 10 years old
Empathy
@Mike G Hush puppy, hush.
Well unlike team eSports games, where blame and glory can be shared and pined down on someone else, here, that its not possible. You(the player) are the solo response for the outcome be it a Victory or a loss, it will be all "you".
It might be little over reacting, but as time goes on, sometimes a player will carry an entire nation on its backs through Top8 all the way to the top.
Daigo's parrying of Chun Li's super was so epic that people forget that he didn't even win the tournament. Just proves that winning isn't everything. Daigo may have lost the tournament but he won the event and ultimately put the FGC on the map as it should be.
I know it's late, but preach man.
yup, and people literally not even questioning how far daigo go in that evo after the moment 37.... its like that the tournament doesnt matter anymore
@@biteme9505 That's because it's obvious. Daigo never won 3S at EVO, and because this was LFs, we know he got second. There's only one rank between first and third.
That moment made the FGC. More influence than any 1st place could ever have
It never was about winning, it was about sending a message.
17 hits all parried... That was insane! You can even see Justin button mash in disbelief! Evo Moment #37 will always be one of the best highlight in FGC and even gaming history!
EVO moment 37 still goosebumps still just amazing
I saw that sht live. The crowd got so loud it set off security sensors in the next building
@@jackofallgames3097 Holy shit you were there? That's incredible man. Gaming history seen live. And damn the crowd energy must have been nuclear
I wonder how many people saw Evo moment 37 and said "holy shit I want to do that" and started playing street fighter because of that moment just like me
In sfv... You can do that (as ryu only)
i would've liked this, but it was at 37 so....
Louis Maximus Oraiz yeah, with no brain mashing it.
Louis Maximus Oraiz And also with Alex in vt1, but both characters in sfv don’t need much skill to block the whole ca, which greatly reduces the fun of doing it
I watched an anime called hi score girl which made me wanna play sf
I love how this channel actually knows what they're talking about, ACTUAL esports fans. you don't botch any character names, names of people, or anything going on in the games. Definitely quality content and you deserve many more subscribers.
Alzaea thank you, comments like this give us the motivation to keep pushing out this kind of content. :)
One slight botching, actually. Specifically, "Ultimate Street Fighter 4", which should be "Ultra Street Fighter 4", but that might be because they just got done talking about Justin Wong in UMvC3
wtf? he called ultra street fighter 4, Ulatimate street fighter 4
Also called Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike "Street Fighter 3rd Strike" but meh
@@hankscorpio661 YEAH WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK
Justin’s MVC3 Run is actually insane, to think he overcame the previous two champs, and then beat his demon for that year, absolutely spectacular
But his celebration spoiled with that stumbling and eventually became his famous rolling 😂
You know, I’ve heard only about EVO in passing, but never really thinking about it too deeply. But this video has made me HYPE.
It's coming up again soon bro bro! August 5th-7th!
I love how anime some of these matches get when one of the players is losing, and their opponent just says or does something that ignites their fighting spirit. "Witness my true power!" "Nani?!"
kira64 Tekken master: destroys
Sonic fox:removes hat
Tekken master: (sweating meme)
"This isn't even my final form!"
He clearly had a power limiter in that hat.
i will be the 1k like
32:13 such a classic face
SonicFox: not bad kid... you made me use 10% of my power... **takes hat off**
This kid you are talking about he almost win the game if just fox don't pick alien he would lose right there.
chill bro it's a joke
uhhh , fox using a broken character to win .
Lmfao
"Broken Character" dude, a character is only broken if someone good is using him/her/it
6:41 - That girl is like, 'WHOAA NO"
"By August of 2016 Sonicfox was undisputed king of Mortal Kombat"
it's scary that you can change the year but the sentence still remain quite true.
Im shocked that he legitimately parried a 15 hit attack all the through with no health making the all time best clutch in history of any evo
17 hit attak
Migatte no Gokui,身み勝がっ手ての極ごく意い, agree
@@MarkEdwardRom no, it's a 15 hit attack, seven hits while Chun li is on the ground, then another seven with her still on the ground, but in a different stance, and one in the air
ikr every time I see it I can barely believe it. If there was no video evidence I wouldn't believe it no matter how many people saw it.
Daigo is not human.
It's even a challenge in the re-release of the game and even then it's very, very difficult to pull off. You could easily take a hundred tries to make it and I wouldn't blame you one bit. Now imagine the pressure of being declared The Beast and going up against the undisputed US player in the biggest tournament in the world and pulling that off. Still incredible.
20:00 Comentator: And thought... he thought deep into his back of tricks and pull out Hakan... Wait? Hakan? Yes, Hakan...
Fan: HAKAN? WHAT THA FUC-
Hakan?! What are you gonna do? Sit on me?
Aflay don’t tempt me 😂
The Poongko was my favorite part. It was pure fun, enjoyment and positiveness.
Onisan was showing his admiration and wanted to go out on a high note.
@@Killua_Morales Yup, it was great. The little smile and shoulder wrap of the shirt was fantastic.
whoever edited the video at 7:47 is such a clown, i love the touch to add a dramatic effect when he places the shirt around Poongko's shoulder and another one at 7:55 when he fixes it
Daigo was the first to go Ultra Instinct
haha! Pretty much! :D
Do not provoke a god
1 second parries
Temerith Don’t ever compare Dragon Ball Shit to a legend like this.
What's wrong with Dragon Ball?
I remember they put #37 in a PlayStation version practice mode of SF 3rd Strike. I figured I'd give it a shot. After all, how hard can it be in a controlled setting? After half an hour of trying I stopped because my fingers started to hurt and I literally never even made it to Chun Li's second rep of kicks. Shit is impossible. Made me appreciate it even more.
The timing involved is mind blowing
You actually need to parry slower than the strikes would usually hit (about 1/4 speed) with a slightly longer gap before the 2nd round of kicks, to be fair it is a lot easier with an arcade stick or if you 'tap' the analogue stick if you don't have an arcade stick . Parrying in this game is satisfying
And he did it in a tournament. He wasn't the first one tho.
The timing is not the same as the actual cps3 original system. 💡 it’s easier to parry on the actual cps3 original Impress set up
And he did it in a tournament. In EVO, not some training match. Crazy
7:33 the instigator to the left. the real mvp
Valle beating Bonchan with Hugo will always give me chills, I used to watch EVO SFIV like it was my Super Bowl.
Same dude. I'll still watch EVO and big majors any weekends I get a chance too, but those 6 or 7 years that had MAHVEL and SF4 at the top of the tournament tickets were super memorable for me :)
Watched that live in my apartment in Australia, that was wake your neighbours hype!!!
Chun-Li's SA2 is actually 17 parries for the other characters, but only 15 for Ryu and Ken, because of the pushback.
It goes 8-8-1 for everyone else, and 7-7-1 for the shotos.
Daigo knew that. THAT'S what's really crazy to me about 37.
That right there is what separates an expert from a master. An expert knows his characters, knows his matchups, and has the skill and reaction time to put it into action. A master has an intimate and thorough understanding of the game and its mechanics, right down to the minutiae.
Holy crap....this moment just got even more iconic. The fact that he knew about that, prepared for it, executed it, and to top it all off, found a way to counterattack right afterwards to end the game......simply incredible is all I can say
The hardest fighting game is me fighting back tears while my gf is sitting here.
Beautifullly constructed video you are a pro without a doubt.
Exactly what I'm doing here
I wanna play that game, but I dont have a gf.
I don't even play fighting games and I'm also sitting in my room with my girlfriend holding back the waterworks aha
8:05 I love the timing of “and then ERUPTED” just PERFECT
every melee player can remember:
“OH BUT HE GETS HIT... THAT COULD BE IT...”
“AHHHH!!!”
I love seeing two shirtless men play super street fighter 4 in front of a large crowd
I know you're gonna floor me but at least do it at your 100%.
;)
With two shirtless characters
And expecting real fight while losing... 😂😂😂
When woshige lost because of the celebration, I feel like my favorite part is when the other guy actually stands up after winning but just in case takes a small peek back just in case. Oh do I love the human brain
The moment is at 24:10
2022 and i can still say with absolute certainty that nothing will ever come close to the Evo 37 moment
That shirtless battle was frackin hilarious
The video is 37 min.
The last, and greatest, moment is "Evo moment 37".
Coincidence?
*X-files theme*
Der Maskierte Muchacho dumb
Der Maskierte Muchacho oh my god...
Dear god.
Der Maskierte Muchacho the inception is real!
can someone please explain to me why Justin Wong's return of the king was so impressive? I never understood why.
lmao i dont even play this games and i cried a lil bit
Juls a you should get into fighters
then you'll cry for real
Me too. This isn't as much about fighting games as it is about humans
That s because u r gay
Experimento 626 s a t i r e
The parry of Daigo required him to him to expect the super. So he parried before he saw the super, it wasn't just that he had to then perfectly parry each hit.
The off-the-chart craziness of Evo Moment 37 has already been dissected into its tiniest atoms over the years. What I haven't seen anyone talk about, ever, is how Daigo countered Justin's KICK SUPER with a KICK SUPER. If it doesn't look straight out of anime (or kung fu movies), I don't know what does.
"The greatness of an FGC god never fades even if his hair colour does" das deep man
I was expecting "even if his hair line does", considering the lad got a lot older since his legacy was built lmao
The daigo parry gives me goosebumps to this fuckin' day. What an absolute legend
Hungrybox's win will always send shivers down my spine and make my eyes tear up
This is the video that got me into fighting games, three years later and I get it in my recommend again, thank you TH-cam
one more thing about evo moment #37, chun li super is the fastest in the game, you can't parry it on visual reaction, you must react to the sound or predict it.
arrivederci
not sure what you are talking about. the initial super Flash Animation is well over 1 sec Long. not to take away anything from daigo but the reaction to the super itself it NOT the most impressive Thing About this Situation dude...
@@Winterhe4rt Every kick has a 0,7s duration of attack
@@MyshKatze "the INITIAL" super Animation is way longer though. The single kicks are obviously not reactable. Daigo has done that parry before. I dont think anyone would doubt that, Right? xD
@@Winterhe4rt I'm pretty sure once the super starts to flash you are already locked in to whatever your character was doing. I could be wrong though
"Woshige no!" "Not like this!" “Why are you standing up for!?" "Why!? Why!? Why!?” Still gets me to this day.
Dude reminds me of JR from WWF
"BAH GAHWD HE"S BROKEN IN HALF"
@@TheBorgCollective lolol
Jesus Alberto Maytorena Velarde that had to be simultaneously funny and sad. In the clip he had a laugh, so that’s some consultation.
seen it live. twitch chat lost their goddamn mind lol wahaggagga
And this kind of thing you call that a sport?! Have you ever heard of fair play? You cant play a game for two when you are alone. Honestly i cant believe you guys call that a sport and you dont have a rule for that.
That paused with "He was wrong" brought chills... WOAH!!!
in the first one with justin, i love how he used the same team they called weak, to exact his revenge, i mean justice.
20 years of Pokemon, yet this video has shown me the best Pikachu moment.
Archefluxx Music true
"pretty gud" you captured Armada's essence perfectly
Felix Schick XD
best melee meme
For sure, although I think alex19 himself is the embodiment of melee memes. His impressions are godlike lmao
Alex Valle: I've been playing ever since you were born son!
That one guy yelling “let’s go Justin” at the beginning of moment 37 is permanently etched into my brain.
I'm not even a fighting game fan and I know who Justin Wong and daigo umehara are. Any gaming fan of any gaming genre need to respect these two for what they did for the landscape
Gat-_-Man-_-69 They did not just play the games though. They were responsible for kicking SF and the FGC to 11 after what they have done that then revolutionised the entire FGC and SF. They were responsible for the Evo Moment 37, without that greatest moment ever, the FGC nor SF would be as this big as today and the FGC would be less as it is than being on the same toes as other competitive games like LoL, Starcraft, etc...
I don’t see why I should care. I don’t care about fighting games/or the community, or street fighter so please explain again why every gamer should care?
Respect
Brandon Neely I dont play fighting games very much but even I know that was an absolutely insane display of muscle memory, reaction time, and showmanship in an incredibly tense environment.
At the very least Brandon, it shows why we love games. This was back in a time where so many people didn't get 'why we loved games' 'why play them so much' 'games are for kids & they are easy.' Its the community, the amazing feeling of managing to do the impossible just when you needed too, when you're on 1 hp against that final boss.
It takes skill even to complete a single player game on hard, and this is the peak of brilliant skill. Moments like this are why game developers found the inspiration to make more multiplayer games which are everywhere today.
They did change games as we know it, inspired many and made others respect what we do. So you know, it'd be nice if gamers at least took notice.
37 minutes. I see what you did there theScore esports, well played...well played
37:29, one second shy just to make sure it never gets rounded up
Big ups to the writer of this piece. "He was wrong" sent chills down my spine because I knew what was coming.
Lessons to learn:
Don't leave the chair until the victory screen is shoved in your face.
If Sonic Fox takes off his hat and picks Alien, you need to run.
And if you try to kill Daigo with chip damage, don't bother running, you're already dead.
Nothing beat EVO moment #37, that is the one that kinda spark the FGC, inspiring so many people up until even today. Forever tales to be told in FGC.
It has to be the last one on the list. :D
Truly nothing in esports history comes close to it.
Presanth Michael The *only* other possible thing like it is Wombo Combo, which is still said across all esports to this day.
Yukari MAiG u should have been in japan during the SBO years, in japan evo moment 37 was jus a monday
Daigo umehara is basically the only Esport player i will ever know of.....i mean i just saw this video and still Daigo the beast! >.
I wish the narrator had gone into a bit more detail about Evo moment 37. I've read a bit about it and it's not just that Daigo did the unreal parry it's that 1) he baited Justin into it by feeding his super meter with fireballs he could absorb 2) Justin said later that nobody even knew that was possible and had never seen anything like it. It makes the moment even more ridiculous.
HungryBox winning evo will always be the hypest shit out of melee for me. Dude spent years at tourneys and he finally won an evo. That shit was awesome.
Thatvideocompany TVC Yea you could see the struggle he overcame all over his face. So proud of that dude.
Um no that pikachu kid clearly got the best melee award
As a Jiggly Puff too!
I cried a little.
Funny what gaming can do to a person..
Just imagine going to a street fighter evo tournament and hearing your first opponent is Valle
"Okay Mr. Valle, if you beat me, I have to have my Hitbox signed by you.... >.> "
I’ve never been a street fighter guy, I prefer smash/MvC, but I swear I tear up every time I get to the Alex Valle part of the video.
John Wick: I killed a whole mafia
Tekkenmaster: I made Sonicfox remove his hat
John Wick: *sweats*
I wasnt ready for that pikachu gameplay, it was too much for me
in under a minute. that uair tail spike was so well timed
5:35 what a moment to have voice crack lol
This is probably still the best video The Score eSports ever made. Evo will return. This video is here to remind us of better days that will soon come back.
A few more weeks! i've watched every EVO since vanilla SF4 came out, and witnessed all of these amazing moments (besides #37 in 2004 obviously) live. I'm too busy this summer to fly out to Vegas, but I can't wait to spend the weekend having like 6 tabs open on twitch. The FGC has soooo many great moments that are still being made, and I'm so happy that live tournaments are back.... online just ain't the same.
*Pause* He was wrong. SHIVERS! I love the way you guys make videos.
thank you very much! :)
You could say he was "wong"...
I looked at the final moment and said, “Yea go on. Go ahead. I know what’s comin’ go on and tell em about the Daigo Parry”, but even in rewatching it, I can’t lose the feeling it gave me.
5:44 holy shit even with philipino champ as a heel i gotta respect that hug immensely.
Evo 2014 was the first evo I actually watched. Watching Jwong make his run with Yipes commentating was pure bliss. Justin Wong reclaiming his throne is one of the best gaming clips ever
Man, Tokido said it best. Fighting games are something so great.
*is
♥Sydän♥ your beautiful can we connect on facebook?
Degree Gaming creep...
+GinkgoPete
are; game is pluralised
Chris Pham Well yes but he did say “is“ soo...
Brilliant story telling.
well agreed
the daigo parry is and will always will be the best gaming moment of all time... nothing can come close to it, it singlehandedly reignited the FGC craze, and its just so fckin cool.
the Alex Valle segment was quite moving, gotta love the FGC
Infiltration: pulls out low-tier Hakan
Rangchu: *Hold my bamboo*
"Hakan!..
...really??"
@@goodninji8 Reary??
HAKAN! WHAT THE FUCK?
They really need to change that Hakan & Pikachu to a Panda 😁
Axe: Hold my rare candy
**4 stocks one of the most technical players playing the best character in the game with a low tier**
Lmao that girl at 6:41
Her face went from smiles to disgust in an instant.
Fighting games may be stupid to others, but its really given me a second chance and others to express themselves with their passions and dreams.
Bless the fgc
can we all just appreciate they put Daigo on 37th minute
This is such a great video. I'm mostly a smasher and I don't really know much about the SF scene and this video does an awesome job at catching me up on FGC history. Beautiful work!
Same
Same
lucasvca is
Same
lemme smash?
This is so unnecessarily dramatic.
I love it.
LOL
Cash
crazy that the daigo parry is 17 years old now and all this time it has always been the most iconic play ever
Evo moment 37... WOW. WOW! To be there must have been amazing.
Jigglypuff: "Does this look like the face of mercy to you?"
Sonicfox taking off the hat is like Rock Lee dropping the weights
ieatatsonic tee hee hee naruto reference
Or Piccolo dropping the weighted clothes
That's exactly what I was thinking and couldn't put it into words.
@heyboobsniceGirl Nani!?
Twak or piccolo lmao
Alex's comeback in 2015 was amazing to watch, I was a big fan years ago, seeing him come back and stomp someone who was being hyped up by the announcers every fight he was in was cathartic
this is the good video content, the reason why peple started following and not the eSport gossip that no one cares about! congrats!
