I was SHOCKED when Justin picked Boxer, AND HE DID FUCKING AWESOME WITH HIM. I still hate him as a person though and I'm glad he lost

Actually he's a really nice guy. I don't know where this "Jwong is a dick" thing has emerged from in the past 6 months but it's obviously not true to anyone who's met him.

buying dvds when available. much hype

i'm happy to see a Cammy win

Gah where's the Blazblue stuff?

[Ken34]

I just wish Ed Ma didnt pick Zangief :/

That was seriously a WTF moment. Counter picking against JUSTIN WONG shows that he needs to work on his tournament composure.

i just find it funny that he tried to counterpick Jwong and then jwong just counterplayed his counter pick. im betting he was expecting jwong to rush down and do mixups, he just turtled his geif, that was amazing.

and jwong been had a beast boxer, check youtube.

Gah where's the Blazblue stuff?

some noel player that lived in japan just wrecked everyone....

I don't know what happened in the middle, but it was kinda disappointing for the announcers to hype up all the Japan players in MVC2, then none of them showed up in the quarter finals.

...?

He taunts after a dizzy, he gets up out of his chair when he wins. He WALKS AWAY after winning a round. Clearly the dude needs to learn some etiquette AND needs to stop believing his own hype, he still can't beat Daigo after all these years. I could really care less how nice he is outside of games, because honestly he doesn't matter nearly as much then

And DVDs aren't coming this year, a deal with IGN insider, why do you think the entire thing was STREAMED? :|

Hahaha yeah really, I don't think US can be touched in Marvel anymore.

Yeah the Blazblue matches were just retarded, I don't really see the hype around that game yet, too much lame as hell "DEAD IN TWO COMBOS" stuff and the dialogue after EVERY DAMN MOVE, what are they telling each other about their day or something? High level play really ruins games like these and makes them boring to watch (See also Marvel Vs Capcom (2), any other heavy combo based game). It was really just fanservice I think, including Blazblue, maybe next year it will be better, but it still will be the same DITC retardation.

I've heard about the Noel Player. But I want to SEE it for myself.

Evo traditionally produces a DVD capturing the highlights of our annual festivities. Instead, this year we’re really excited to bring you a faster, better way to relive your favorite Evo moments: we’re teaming with IGN Insider to produce and host the post-tournament matches that we would normally ship to you on a DVD.

Basically for you guys this mean higher quality Evo content at a quicker pace and cheaper price. Match footage will of course be direct-feed in HD with crowd audio and commentary, and will go online with clickable brackets and other fun stuff. You get all this not for our usual DVD price of $30 to $60, but for just 15 bucks (I’m doing my best Billy Mays here, does it show?), which is a 25% discount off IGN’s usual rate. Who loves ya? Finally, on top of all the EVO juice, you’re still an IGN Insider for a year, which means you get a bunch of other stuff for free all year. That’s not just “cheaper,” that’s just straight up cheap–no brainer for any big fighting game fan.

We’ve been working really hard for nearly a year to make this the best, most visible EVO ever, so get hype, and tell a friend, and show IGN that fighting games DO still matter (and that they should be doing more coverage of them) by signing up.

Gotta get with dat IGN insider.

Honestly not worth it if all you wanna see is a Noel player destroying everyone in less than 20 minutes. WOW GREAT BLAZBLUE TOURNEY GUYS.

[Bastard Mami]

I guess those are enjoyable for high level blazblue players... but who the hell wants to become a high level doujin game player anyway !?

You can watch here in case you havent seen it

[Sepp]

Watched the SF4 finals. Whee. Favorite moment

He WALKS AWAY after winning a round.

[and has to run back cuz next round begins]

I hate the "Roo" thing too! For gods sake! I mean it says Ryu in the game, it's ridiculous when you have a commentator sayin "Roo". It makes the whole set up of the torny cheaper if you can't pronounce the main characters name properly!!

[PotS]

My point exactly.

It was really just fanservice I think, including Blazblue, maybe next year it will be better, but it still will be the same DITC retardation.

Yeah, it's still a new game in the West afterall, next year it should be getting a real tournament if people don't all drop the game for some reason.

I wanted to see Daigo having time to start beating him , wonder if he'd get booed for that haha.

I  was there in person and the event was quite fun. Though I hope for my own sanity that the Renzo of these boards was not the Renzo of pool 23 as that dude was a complete *insert negative expletive here* He of course had the normal ego of stating all his matches would be 2-0s and the like, but the main thing was that he pulled a total bitch move and tried to get someone disqualified for a home button error they didn't do, and while every other person who had the same thing occur just agreed to keep playing their matches he tried to get $eejay Showstopper disqualified when it was actually the fault of some punk kid's controller in their bag. The pause wasn't even during a match, there were still 99 seconds left on the clock, and the 'fight' was just disappeared from the screen

In case you're all thinking I'm just butt-hurt over losing to him, I never lost to him, that's just not the case as I ended up beating the dude in winners semi finals for the pool (as shown here http://evo2k.com/live/brackets/sf4/pool_23/ ), but trying to get someone disqualified (especially an acquaintance of mine) for something that doesn't effect game play and wasn't their fault is both skeezy and grimey.

Anyways the rest of the comp was awesome, I hope you all got to see the Semis for SFIV as soime of those were just as amazing as many of the finals, I now fully <3 Arturo Sanchez and think he deserves cake for kicking arse with Seth, and beating Daigo in a Ft5 money match with his dhalsim.

Nope.

[bigdave629]

I wanted to see a good Seth fight, I only saw one and it was boring because he played like he was using Dhalsim. Is their a better one?

Here's the Ryu combo video that was shown there:
