Mind game madness, Comeback madness, Clutch madness:looney:

Yeb vs. fLoE @ WCW.

I got so hyped I almost spilled my IPA all over my keyboard. Yeb is heroic. And he’s from SD.

Blazblue Continuum Shift Dora vs Shadow. Epic finish.

Hell yeah. This needs the crowd noise to give that extra hype though. People booing for floe, shit was outrageous.

My favorite fight of this year has been

Rico Suave (Abel) vs Sabin (Seth) @ Battlefield Arcadia #7

It’s a great Match and nail biter to the end. I will not spoil it for anyone. Since it’s about 1 match I’ll say start it from 5:20 though the entire thing is epic… The commentators at one point just are quiet and are just fans enjoying a great match.

Haven’t watched Kensou vs. Liston is months and it still makes me laugh so hard :rofl: That gets my vote.

Finally? :confused: Gamestop nationals?
Im happy for tekken finally getting some mainstream shit.
My vote goes towards a match vid that I believe is between yipes and sanford, It starts off with killer instinct music and sanford almost gets perfected. I just cannot fucking find this vid at all. BUT, I’ll get back to you guys on that.

This FT5 money match was insanely hype.

Starcup 2009, Baby Nine (Honda), an online OG ST player (goes by Baby_punks on GGPO and 2df) versus former champion Tsuji using Boxer. It’s the first match, excellent play by both of them with an awesome ending.

omg… :rofl:

I hate to admit it but this really was the best shit, even though I was on the losing end of it. Incredible amount of hype, generated a photo that sold for 200 dollars on ebay and shit. This is the only correct answer.

I’m nominating Makoto vs. Tokido/Ojisanboy at SBO. A Claw OCV’ing an Akuma/Sagat team at that level is pretty fucking unreal.

Match of the Year.

Mow (Bison) vs. Keits (Ken)

lights out

it’s over

can’t we keep it in the US only?

yknow with players most of us know/love/hate

with tournaments most of us have been to/seen on stream

if i put some video of the game on my site ??? maybe my site will hot

When Arturo beat Diago in the hotel games. To bad that video got buried with gootecks.

onlinetony vs ironfist is the match of the year in my opinion

its the only thing i have as a sf4 favorite on youtube and it beats any match i have seen livestream or in an arcade.
it was close, had loads of hype from the crowd
AND
it was funny as hell.

but i would want to give special mention to Sanford kelly smacking around Dan from japan. because we are all taught that the japanese players are gods and can never be touched and should be feared, and santhrax had his way with him for free.

I thought rules says only 1 match post? WTF?! Is up with all these ‘Sets’ posts???

People dont like reading the rules.

sets should be allowed too IMO

Wild Card Team Vs Team SoCal would win it for free

completely unpredictable and exiting match, never got boring and we know socal was hungry cause Valle had to prove why he didnt choose mike ross for the team (since he said his decision would be backed by their performance)
