EVO2K4 Competition Shows Off Crazed Street Fighter Skills

Posted by simoniker on from the damn dept.

Thanks to Shoryuken.com for its new post discussing one of the highlights of the recent EVO2K4 fighting game tournament, in the form of "a video of the amazing ending to the Daigo [Umehara] vs. Justin Wong match of the Evolution [Street Fighter 3] Third Strike finals." The video shows in-game footage and crowd reaction to Daigo's nearly dead character "parrying each hit [of a super] individually... then going for a jump in combo." Elsewhere, the brief game-by-game results of the popular multi-title tournament are posted on the official EVO2K4 site.

  1. Triple Paul Newman Finish by cL0h · · Score: 2, Funny

    When SFII first came out in my town someone decided that when Ryu or Ken do a dragon punch, the "sho-ryu-ken" sounds like "Paul Newman".
    So everyone started calling dragon punches Paul-Newmans to this day. How cheeky is this post ?!?!?!

    If I had fingers as good as his I wouldn't be playing street fighter... I'd be banned from slashdot for having a very very satisfied girlfriend...

    I always thought it sounded like Chun-Li was saying "King sized Dick" when she did her upside-down spinning kick thingy.
