There was a lot of hype at EVO even if sadly some predictable S-Tiers took the gold in a few games. But not all was lost, there were some amazing moments. Post your EVO 2013 moments here and any links to vid if they exist.
[list]
[*]Chris G loses to Comeback Anchor Jill - While Chris G later defeated Windzero (sp?) on stream in losers, the original fight in loses was epic with Chris G down 2-0. Chris made a comeback, but in the final game he lost to solo jill fighting his nearly full health team. I’ve never seen so well placed patience and movement ever.
[*]J Wong come back in top 8 in UMvC3
[*]Filipino Champ gets knocked out of top 8 - Sadly we never got the champ vs Chris G match we all desperately wanted.
[*]SF4 Finals Akuma “Hee-ugh” Chant - During Finals the entire crowd started doing Akumas signature grunt to every air fireball for about 5 matches.[/list]
Infiltration using hakan in a top 8 match and winning. Haitani’s Makoto comeback of the century. And of course the Akumas in heat match… Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
Can’t say Infiltration using Hakan and leave out Infiltration getting sent to loser’s. I can’t rejoice at him getting but to losers, but I was very imprssed by PR Rog’s play in that match. That was when everyone really took notice of his abilities. Suddenly everyone knew he was on a higher level than before.
Honestly I loved watching Reynald crawl back to win KOF. That shit was the most exciting for me.
The second most exciting moment was when I thought NEO had blown it in a winners bracket match against Unkn0wn when he used a bar to “finish off” his opponet and then it looked like maybe sentinel was going to get the one touch for the victory! I got mad hype.
EDIT: Sorry that was the only video i could find. that buzzing sound is really distracting
For me it was Chris King’s performance, and then of course the shit that went down in the finals: Justin Wong’s legendary performance against Chris G, Infiltration picking Hakan, and Haitani`s absolutely godlike insane wrecking ball of a Makoto tearing a path of destruction through the tournament
Nope. Heard about the Reptile. Sure wish more cosplayers stayed in costume and at EVO for at least the 2nd half of the day, rather than 1 or 2 hours and disappearing. I missed pics with a Killer Frost, Juri, and Chun, after procrastination from seeing them once and saying ‘later’ to myself (2 were spotted while I was in my pool waiting to play). Likely, more I missed day 2/3.
Anyways:
Hakan - holy shinolla. I love seeing characters like this succeed.
Gen ultra’s vs air fireballs were epic answers.
Matches with Black Adam, Raven, Green Lantern, and Doomsday doing well were fun to watch. Superman was zzz most of the time though I will admit his corner rape was gnarly af. Green Arrow was very methodical but reeeeally boring antihype.
Ice Climbers…dat grab.
DIVEKICK - I seriously underestimated this game. Looked silly at first glance online, still absurd seeing it in person during quals, but finals - HYPE.
Dormammu is cool to watch. Zero bores me. Vergil is alright, as is Dante. Doctor Doom -_- till his Lv3. Mixed feelings about Marvel. Sometimes I just couldn’t get into it, sometimes it excited me.
Missed MK/TTT2 finals, though MK semis were rad. Don’t care bout P4/SFxT. Watched a few KoF matches that were cool.
I’m primarily a smash player so Mango about to win 6-0 and then getting caught in an infinite grab at 0%…then surviving the killing blow…only to mess up and get himself killed. If he had came back and won that I would’ve killed my throat screaming.
