this weekend is Evo the biggest fighting
game tournament in the world and even
though I'm gonna be spending it partying
at RT X I still couldn't help but think
about all the most exciting moments that
have happened in video game tournaments
over the years but normally we would
include Smash Brothers in a list like
this but since there's too much height
for one video we're gonna get a smash
its own list later on down the line so
hey I'm nervous make for screwattack's
top 10 most hight fighting game moments
number 10 I swear it's like Marvel vs.
Capcom games are just built to be as
hype as possible after more than a
decade long absence Marvel vs. Capcom 3
came onto the scene and immediately
started bringing some amazing comebacks
at final round 14 one of my favorite
Marvel three players Combofiend pulled
out a now-famous clutch comeback with
the damage enhancing x-factor on his
side Combofiend Spencer managed to even
the score by taking up Marne zero Marn
was one hit away from sealing his
victory but just barely dropped his
combo that was the only opportunity that
Combofiend
ODT bionic arm
that announcer some say is still
screaming bionic arm to this very day
number nine
I'm not even gonna lie to you guys
sometimes fighting games are anime but
for real there are times when a player
is pushed to their very limits and they
have no choice but to go super singer or
ultra instinct bankai sage mode take
your pick
all I know is that at the Evo 2016
Mortal Kombat X Grand Finals Tekken
master brought out sonic Fox's final
form Sonic Fox is known for many things
including always wearing that fox habit
but when tekken masters Kotal Kahn reset
the bracket and took the next game sonic
Fox decided that enough was enough this
time he'd fight with his true power
[Music]
I don't think we've ever seen that
before oh I know you guys couldn't see
it because the hatton off camera but I
was a TiVo that year and I can confirm
that that hat shook the earth when it
hit the floor because sonic Fox finally
removed his weighted training gear and
I'll just say that his strategy worked
the celebration sonic Fox just like that
number eight so I went on Twitter caught
this guy out
Paloma has been caught him a rape face
his new looks like a [ __ ] zombie out
of the Wolcott
we live in an age where people can now
get into internet arguments and 280
characters or less sometimes if we're
really lucky most turn into fighting
game grudge matches so let me give you
the gist of these two characters this
year is javis can't Snider he's been in
the fighting game scene for years and
years now mostly with Marvel vs. Capcom
and this is doll Owen Sparrow but you
can just call him low even though he's
not actually that bad at fighting games
low tier gods mentality definitely is
he's one of the most well known rage
quitters and all-around crap starters in
the entire community so long story short
mister LTG here got into a huge Twitter
beef with vist can't and they agreed to
settle things on low tier gods home turf
Ultra Street Fighter 4 but the best part
about this moment wasn't Lin vez can't
beat low tier fraud 10 to 6 and Street
Fighter and it was when this skint gave
him a verbal beatdown that he would
remember for life
there's gonna come a point when you
forget about what happened and you're
gonna want to come back at me and you're
gonna want to wash the taste of my dick
out of your mouth
oh yeah words fail me
words actually fail me I got nothing
more to add miss can't settle all number
seven
very few names and fighting games are as
recognizable as Daigo Umehara like even
if you don't follow find a games there's
a chance you might have heard of this
guy before the man has been one of the
best Street Fighter players ever since
the days of Street Fighter 2
Championship Edition he's one of the
highest earning fighting in players of
all time he's even got a manga about his
early days as a budding professional
dico is deservingly immortalized as a
fighting game guy but even the gods can
fall this is unprecedented
[Applause]
with nothing
least we have never seen a beating like
that history you remember in top 10 most
satisfying video game moments when I
talked about how good it feels to get a
perfect I can't even imagine perfect
enough fighting game legends on the
biggest stage in the world and judging
by that crowd neither could they number
6 right now Dragonball Fighters is both
the new kid on the block and arguably
the most popular fighting game out there
it's that very rare game that brings out
the best of the best from every
community out there Marvel vs. Capcom
guilty gear plays blue and justice you
name it but when one of streetfighters
best encountered the infamous smash
brothers melee Godslayer at CEO 2018
nobody could have anticipated their
ridiculous hype levels of go Ichi versus
let them look at this look at this every
single wonder you watch this you and me
we all would have gotten hit by that
black string - and go Ichi were so back
and forth in this lightning fast set
that it really felt like an episode of
DBZ of a 25 year old Rita
I don't know what that's supposed to
mean but you've got to love japes and
he'll pockets on that commentary and is
if all of that didn't make for an
exciting enough set go Ichi managed to
bring the entire thing back with just
one Bardock no sparking blast and a
whole lot of meter the 30 seconds on the
on the time Jennifer oh my goodness oh
my god
we still chase time that wasn't even
great finals ballestas top 48 listen man
who's this next match they don't even
matter at this point that's it
they take the cake got number five when
you compare it to your dragon balls and
your blaze blues Street Fighter force
seems like a really slow game but that
doesn't make it any less interesting to
watch it traits fast-paced combos for a
tense chess match where a big damage
combo could happen at any moment
occasionally games might come down to
the timer like they did when Snake Eyes
and Eve took on Shands again at Evo 2014
with the set tied up one to one and the
clock ticking down the zero met chess
match exploded into a full-on chase not
quite no Ultron the table he's gonna do
this the hard way
Shin desperately throws an Ultra to get
out of zambese range or so he thought as
it turned out Shin was still in range of
a desperation VX green hand which just
watched out a win for snake
[Applause]
whoa what every single time I watched
this movement I have to remember to
breathe breathe Nick number four
speaking of Shan this guy is famous for
being what's called a low tier hero no
no no not that guy basically a low tier
heroes rabbit eights toward plainness
characters who most people don't think
are very good and then they make them
work anyway
same story goes for his amazing evo2013
Mun with gay but before I make it sound
like Shan is like a troll or something
his greatest strength isn't picking a
character that you didn't practice
against because why would you take a
look at his patience
look at that punish game and that pardon
rate chopped Akuma's legs up just
underneath the ear fireball that would
have cost him the round everybody loves
an underdog story where ever one can be
found and even though she an is a high
rated player watching this goofy martial
arts master claim the crown was beyond
hype number three
and speaking of low tears no no we're
done talking about you from the day
Hakan was revealed for super street
fighter for everybody said yeah that's
definitely a true character pecans main
gimmick is that he can do this move that
boils him up so we can get more range on
his attacks but a that move usually
leaves you open and be his range socks
without it just so happens to be pretty
good against Balrog so when Korean
player infiltration was down one to two
against PR Balrogs Balrog he mulled over
a very important decision yeah now
infiltration I was just about to say
might be able to go to hook on pecan is
a hard counter to Balrog and sure enough
she picked pecan evil
the crowd went nuts with every minor
victory that this low-tier weirdo
managed to pull out in as infiltrations
victory gradually became more and more
of a reality the arena rotted with high
Wolong Hakan : number two
comebacks and a lot of modern fighting
games are by design relatively calm
that's why we've got ultras X Factor
instinct v-trigger all that stuff but in
the olden days cutbacks were earned by
little more than your own solid gameplay
in a game as nutty as Marvel vs. Capcom
2 comebacks deserved even more pranks
being on your last character against a
team of three who's that almost full
health is [ __ ] as bad of a situation
as you think it is but never count
Justin walling it out in a match that
would make the whole world believe in
the wow factor Justin took down Yipes as
magneto storm and psylocke all with a
single blown Cyclops
sir hypes would go on to win the set but
in the immortal words of the match's
commentator it's number one the single
biggest fighting game franchise out
there is undoubtedly street fighter
that's why you see so many street
fighter moments in this top 10 Street
Fighter 3 third strike will always hold
a special place in the hearts of many
fighting in players and myself included
but it also holds a special place in the
broader competitive gaming Hall of Fame
thanks to its now called Evo moment 37
rare footage actually angry in the
semi-finals of Evo 2004 Japan's
legendary Daigo Umehara was sitting on a
single pixel of hell if he's so much as
blocked an attack he'd still take enough
damage to lose the entire match
meanwhile Justin Wong's chun-li was
sitting on enough meter to do her
ridiculous 15 hit supermoon Justin
throughout the super Daigo went super
sick
[Applause]
so if you don't know how Street Fighter
III works let me explain how ridiculous
this is
Daigo managed to perfectly time his
stick movements to the rhythm of
Chumley's entire super if he slipped up
even a little bit he would have lost the
entire match but as impressive as his
defense was his punishing response was
just as flawless the crowd went
absolutely ballistic as Daigo combo'd
into a super of his own which took the
round oh man I know it's caught evil
moment 37 but it is number one for being
a landmark event not just in fighting
games but in competitive games as a
whole it's been written about in books
referenced endlessly in other games and
in Justin Wong's
own opinion single-handedly revived
interest in a dying fighting game
community and if that doesn't show you
her exciting fighting games can really
be then okay I respect your opinion for
our secret number eleven if you know
you're gonna lose to one of the world's
best you might as well go out memorably
that's probably what oniisan was
thinking when going up against the
mighty poco at Evo 2015 I cannot imagine
a more ridiculous way to play yeah well
oniisan can okay
but as if one pair of pepperonis on
stage wasn't enough Peugeot decided to
play along
right before massively out playing his
opponent oh did you see the iron off the
buco
