Nah you got it wrong dude. We’re not paying them just to play. We’re paying them to make it good, aka we are offerring to pay them in hopes that they will practice hard. I actually want Valle and JWo to think this is worth their time, instead of showing up with 50 bucks each and not putting any effort into it.
You should know exactly what i’m talking about. You’re the king of showing up to tournaments without practicing and breaking my heart by losing to whatever controller you borrowed at the last second. Ok, yeah, it would be tight if you won ST in Evo2k6 from practicing at Evo2k5, but that’s only a good plan until you die walking into a fireball because your super didn’t come out.
If you show up to Evo2k7 without practicing again, i might have to seriously consider the possibility of not renewing my membership to the Mike Watson fan club maybe. You’ve been warned, sort of!
A2 is pretty much Valle’s game. Justin won 1 tourney in A2. I’m not sure how many Valle won but I’m sure it’s in the double digits. Justin winning 1 tourney doesn’t mean he’s as good as Valle as some people here are saying. Justin’s good, but not that good.
It’s the same thing with MvC2. Valle has won a few tourneys in MvC2 but nowhere compared to the amount Justin’s won.
If you are going to include A2, you should be including MvC2 and vice-versa. These are Valle and Wong’s specialty games. Either include them both, or include none of them.
CvS2 is slightly in Wong’s favor. But it’s still close. Not like the gap in A2/MvC2.
ST is slightly in Valle’s favor. But again this is also close. Wong has trained up in this game and can compete with top players.
3S is the big one. Valle placed in the top 8 at back at B4 and at Evo 2k6. Wong placed in top 8 at Evo 2k4, and 2k5. They’re both pretty even in this game but if I had to venture a guess, I’d say Justin, but even I’m not sure.
And I think this can be a good thing for EVO. Duc vs Sanford was mainly MvC2 fans. But now that you have Justin vs Valle, you got A2,ST,3S,MvC2,CvS2 fans getting into it. If this goes down, it’ll be a lot bigger then Duc vs Sanford.
Why not let them decide what games they play? after all they are the ones playing, this way there can’t be any complaints as to who has what advantage if its decided by both players to play so and so games I guess that would be as fair as it gets seeing as both sides agreed on the line up.
Honestly all I want to see is A2 Valle v Wong. I think those by far would be the most interesting matches. I personally don’t give a shit about CVS2 anymore, although those could be interesting as well. But yeah, people should get back into A2…hot shit.
Oh shit, Valle agreed! Buy your tickets now everyone!!
And look, people who are saying MvC2 is a landslide, or isn’t, or Justin can’t be beat, etc. Alex agreed *after *Marvel was added to the list instead of Alpha3. And Justin is GDLK in the game, but by no means unbeatable. Didn’t someone from Hawaii beat him a few years back, and Rawbzilla, and I think we all saw him get eliminated by Yipes two years ago.
Alex stepping up and agreeing to this is hella exciting. Biggest thing ever. Becase he’s *sooo *much the underdog and now he has a chance to face Justin, the World Champion, in front of the entire Fighting Game community and potentially take him down. Can you imagine? If Valle beat Justin in MvC2?! That’s Rocky vs Apollo Creed right there!!
If Justin and Alex want to change games, that’s up to them to post, or PM me. Until then, the five games are as stands: Super Turbo, Alpha2, Third Strike, Capcom vs SNK2, and Marvel vs Capcom2.
Big thanks to the huge outcry of SRKers who jumped on this thread and showed how much they want to see this dream matchup. EVO2K7 was already the best Fighting Game Tournament, and it just leveled up.
Sanford also beat Justin at Evo ease: ECC this year. I don’t know but evo 2k3 soo beat justin in a team tourney. Sanford won evo east. Robzilla/Yipes 2k5. + Sanford’s other wins over justin. He’s not unbeatable, cept for the average player like myself.
how about we have a draft in games, each player picks a game until 6 have been picked, 3 each player. The last game could be picked by poll, giving the last choice, to the people who cares to watch.
why not make a vote in the EVO forums as to which games ppl think these 2 should play…either that or the players choose it themselves
im an EC native but im goin to side for Valle on this one…he accomplished sooo much in his time and has shown inspiration to gamers…myself included…He’s the american champ HANDS down…besides too many ppl are on justin’s side…valle is an honorable man when it comes to fighting games…im sure he’ll be practicing on these games…i mean come on now…he’s a top player for a REASON
I’ve been talking to Omni in hopes to get this official. If so, EVO staff can determine the best method for what games are selected, how many sets, etc.
I’d be dope if on the first night of EVO we could have the Hsien/Pyro MM.
You’d think more people would be for Valle but seeing he only resurged like last year after a hiatus some people probably don’t even know who he is (as far as what he’s done for the community). Let alone how good of a player he is. If you post on SRK or if you’re a regular YouTube nerd you know who J.Wong is. Justin is hot stuff in Threes too (knows that game REALLY well) but Valle is just good at SF.
