This is where you can discuss all of the nominations for the first official Match of the Year contest. Nominations must be made as replies to the Shoryuken.com frontpage post found here, and must meet all of the following rules.

Nominations left here, again, will be ignored for this contest. Use this thread to discuss and debate your reasons for your favorite nomination to try and convince your peers to vote for your favorite in the coming weeks. Enjoy!

Add &#t=0m00s to the end of a youtube link. Replace the first “0” with the minute(s) and the second "00"s with the seconds if vid has multiple matches on them. (Thanks autocrat1)

When my boy DS almost beat DIEGO at SB4 this year. :cool: :coffee:

jason chong vs dagu

Keno/Mike Ross Vs. Magus/Haunts SBO Quals. That was the match of the year.

That woulda been good if the last set wasn’t a slaughter.

Real talk:

Should do a “Match of the Decade” thing.

That makes me think of a podcast where some people told an anecdote of how they met some spanish players that called ironfist “godfist” because of his uppercut-repeat shenanigans (not sure what game/match they were refering to). :rofl:
At least, it went something like that. Can’t remember clearly. I tried to find that podcast last time I saw that vid, but there’s so many… So I didn’t find it.

just a suggestion: separate the match of the year award for specific games
the award is too broad and vague as it is

Which will probably go to Daigo vs Justin. The full parry wins the popular vote XD

guys, read the rules.

post a single match. not a whole 10 minute set. if its a long set and theres a single match in there you want to point out, provide the link, provide the names if it isnt super obvious who is playing, and the timestamp to where the specific match starts.

That’s strange. o_O

I only counted 2 Bang Installs during that entire 5-round game.

… in comparison, my 3-round video had 6 Bang Installs, a Double KO, and 47 taunts.

There were a couple of good matches played against Diago at Battlefield Arcadia, one of the best matches I have seen in SF4 Was Puerto Rican Boxer aka VvV Scrub vs Diago… It was probably my favorite to watch, but it could have been the commentary that did it.
Anyway, its my nomination.

enjoy

Shoryuken is typo’d in the thread title btw.

I’d prefer to see some real test of skill and flair than just taunting, spamming drives to get to FRKZ and mindlessly dashing and flying.

I nominate the match where the sakura at EVO almost took Valle down.

simply on the fact that it’s a console char almost taking down a legend. it showed potential in a low tier char.
