We all know and love *that* evo moment, but, the fgc is full of hype matches and moments. Wich one is you favorite?
I have to go with GO1 going ultra instinct against Leffen:

Imagine a "washed up" vet taking on an evo favourite, in an awful grapple Vs zoner matchup with one of the worst characters in the game. And he fucking kills it.

Gamerbee vs [REDACTED] in the Street Fighter IV loser's finals at Evo 2015 was mine for a long time, but yeah...

So here's another great Evo 2015 moment. Still gets a laugh out of me



Have to add a match: headphone warning, but goddamn Hokuto no Ken rules

As far as I'm concerned this was peak Blazblue in terms of the FGC. The whole EVO was super emotional but this whole Grand Finals was the stuff of legends. Both players at eachothers throats, the emotions at an all time high as Galileo claws his way back up. Prime stuff.

The SF4 era was amazing. Just starting off on Justin.tv with seb and FADC. The Empire Arcadia weeklies. Then Spooky took over on for the EC scene. The tournies, Japanese players starting to come over consistently - a game most people liked and didn't consider too flowcharty - the commentary and kind of "beginning" of the esporsification of things - the actual hype grudges and rivalries. Shit I was going to Chinatown Fair just to fuck around with some of the top players before many moved to Cali.

Was such a fun and amazing time. SF5 hasn't felt this way to me really from the mid-end life of the game. Something's just off. A lot of the more unique players don't think they can "express" themselves. I enjoy SF5 a lot, but I hope the next game has a little more creativity.

This isn't the full set, but when I think of MvC3, I will always, always think of KBR giving FChamp the smackdown in Grand Finals given that there was an exhibition the night before and FChamp was on his peak obnoxious shit

That I saw live?

Clockw0rk vs Neo - Marvel vs Capcom 2 FT15 money match to send the game off before Marvel 3 dropped.



The level of play on display was unbelievable. Clockw0rk with the GOAT Strider.

edit: Just saw CW's comeback with DOOM in Game 2 again holy fuck

How INSANE are the damage in GG Xrd lol that felt like there are no damage reduction over combo lenght. Its so brutal
Millia has the 2nd lowest health in the game and combo done on her started from a coutner hit HS (Heavy Slash) so there was extra damage, less scaling AND extra stun to boot.

OMG yes!! I came to post this . When he dashed forward and sat for a sec then caught the jump back with the ultra was amazing ..I remember thinking he set this entire match up before hand and Bon Chan played right into it . I don't think I've seen anything that has gotten me this hype from 5 yet..

PR Balrog making a comeback with Tron Bonne against Viscant's Dark Phoenix in the grand finals, is the one that comes to mind.

Still this:


Then pretty much all of EVO 2012 where Infiltration threw out demons left and right.

Fell out of fighting games for a while, and this brought me back. The way they talk about peaks and distant presences, and knowing how things will end but still wanting to find out just how large the gap is, it's what the whole "being stronger" thing is all about.
