Shoryuken.com Match of the Year 2009 DISCUSSION Thread

Has anyone mentioned the match between Combofiend and Ed Ma at SBO Quals? That match was legendary. A lot of matches from that tourney that were really good.

this

Found it. On zachd.com, In his video search look up yipes vs sanford. Click the battle of the strongest and about 37 minutes into the vid is the match.

Damn, I should get some of the guys from the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom boards in this thread. Nobody really plays TvsC here in North America seriously, so there is no point in even bringing up mostly crazy Japanese matches.

Some nice SF4 matches though so far.

while daigo vs. iyo was my favorite match of the year, there is definitely merit to pissing an announcer off by jamming a square peg into a round hole.

:rofl::lovin:

I second this. Hypest shit ever, and I think this was the first time anybody saw Sakura at a high level of play, people were losing their shit.

The problem with that video is that it lacks Dogface’s commentary. “WHOA THAT WAS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MATRIX!”

Gotta be Sanford (Cammy) vs Daigo (Ryu) - Season’s Beatings 4.

Match starts at 15mins 12

Great match-up, and I have to admit to Sanford being a bit of a hero, gives me a Cammy to aim for!!!

The other match-ups are good too, so check 'em out, but the nomination is Sanford/Daigo.

Yeah it’s not even worth it.

I’ll do it anyways though. Here’s a couple of the people who made TvC:CGH so special.

Haha wow, somehow I got the idea that it was match of the century, my mistake haha.

I please ask you to first refer to the current year for which we are trying to decide match of the year. It is in fact, as you can plainly see in the thread title, 2009. Now, click through to your video and please tell me (It’s in the title) what year that match is from.

My nomination

Shiro (AB) vs Daigo (RY), epic finish…

This is my favorite match because it’s a David and Goliath match. Nobody expected this match to end the way it did. My vote is for this match

So far I like Iyo vs. Daigo (if it is allowed despite 4/7 rounds), Cronopio’s video, and SaBrE’s Straight-outta-the-Matrix.

lol tom, just lol

JiBBo’s double perfect vs Magus1234 ! :smiley:

Pope Temmy vs Mow Money Match in Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper @ Arcade Legends: Take Up The Gauntlet on Nov 7, 2009.

This is hands down the most epic and hilarious set of matches I’ve witnessed all year, but the very last match takes the cake. Such great commentary from the players themselves and those watching. Pope Temmy busts out the “2-hit COMBO!” as he attempts to cement his “spectacular comeback” after losing 6 straight to Mow and then winning one match before this final.

I was so moved by the comedic elements of this tragedy that I took the Theme of Sakura from the SFIV soundtrack (Sakura is Pope Temmy’s favorite IV character) and included in it sound bites from the first to 7. Most of the sound bites come from the very last match. Pope Temmy was kind enough to take the joke well and even uploaded it for all to hear!

Theme of Temmy

It would be amazing if Pope Temmy vs Mow, First to 7 $5 Money Match, the final match, could become 2009’s Match of the Year. I’m looking for all of Dayton/Cincy, Ohio for backup!

Daigo vs Iyo has this shit locked down
