THAT was exciting. Holy crap, a single drop and Justin Wong lost everything. Marvel peaked at 144k.

@zella: Street fighter 4 looks brutal too. This EVo is totally aawesome.

Sad that Justin did not win but Zero was not as dominant as people want to believe he was. It is all about skill and this time Flocker was the better man. And even then what could have been happening if Justin hadn't had to play so many matches.

Good stuff, super evenly matched (perfect aside). KoF is more interesting in general but that was a hell of a final.

jesus christ, that guy's zero is real nasty

that was an incredible fight

@fluxwavez: dont forget that japanese people watch at nico as well. Streetfighter 4 will be insane in the number of viewer counts^^

That was nearly historic! Wow. Justin did say his main goal was beating Chris G at EVO, and he did that. 2nd, man. Very nice. Looking like an early JWong up on stage.

Anyway, congrats to Zero and Flocker!

I could be wrong but couldn't he have played it safe and spent meter as well?

jesus christ justin almost climbed that mountain

KOF was fantastic as well. You should rewatch that final.

Ono's bad english.

Ultra street fighter 4^^

SHORYUKEN!

Ultra Street Fighter 4 Announcement trailer!

Man it is already 5 in the morning.. Good thing I have vacation. Come on start Street fighter already...

I have no affinity for fighting games and I've never watched EVO before, but I tuned in for the Melee and UMvC3 finals and found both highly entertaining. Never thought I'd say that!

yea sure ill buy street fighter again.

im a bad person,

its hard to hope for considering its a platform with a low install base, but i wish they did a vita version of SF4

http://www.twitch.tv/srkevo1/b/430438070

Should start with KOF finals.

SFIV is great and all... but Divekick should be your jumping-in point.

Who was the imposter that took Daigo's place this year?

Oh, well, if you're interested in getting started in fighting games, then I'd say SF is good and even Skullgirls is quite nice.

@grantheaslip: SF is great place to start because its the source of all the fundamentals you need (spacing, links, mixups,crossups etc) and this goes for any street fighter so if wanna do 3rd strike or Super Turbo (lot of people still play these on GGPO) those are great places to start as well ! then after that I'd try out a a faster paced more chain based and combo oriented game like marvel, skullgirls or P4a.

Xian's already up there, and PR Rog's making it tough for Infiltration.

GIVE ME A GEN/ROG GRAND FINALS.

Hakan vs Balrog = Super/Ultra match of wonders

OMGWTFHAKAN?!?

that was a badass match by infiltration and pr balrog

Mannn That was rough. PR Rog seemed like he had it, but that Hakan hard counter. Ouch.

Still so close despite the hard counter.

Too much HYPE

@truthtellah said:

Those yoloheadbutts were just dumb. I'm so disappointed in my man :(

Not enough discussion about the asian hard counter vs white re: Infiltration vs Rog

this tokido defeated daigo and infiltration, wow

New champ!

Come on, XIAN! You can do it!

Good Lord, Akuma is such a boring character to watch, but at least Infiltration was defeated. I don't even care who wins now, as soon as Daigo and PR Rog went out I lost all excitement.

the way this guy makes Gen work is amazing,

i found gen to be a tough character to use

god that super into ultra combo that Xien does with GEN is NASTY holy shit

Xian with his Gen about to do it! Up 2-0!!!

That final pixel....

HE DID IT!!!!

and thats the game,

so crazy that a GEN won the whole thing

Gen takes Evo, with a Makoto and Hakan appearing in top 8.

What the hell is this madness?!?

Xian went from broken Yun to broken bones Gen to win Evolution 2013.

Nerf Gen, buff Akuma

AHAHA GEN WINS EVO

I mean, top 8 is always crazy but this top 8 was CRaZYYYYYYYYY. All of them are fucking monsters.

Fuck man, when has a chip win ever been so hype?

The EVO Hyyyyypppeee....!

seths getting emotional

awww,

that was great, time to check out the smaller streams now, curious to see how the divekick tournament went

What an amazing day of finals.

#evo2013

Glad that a Singapore player won, with Gen no less. Was there a soul calibre stream?

what an incredible event!

I haven't watched every single EVO, but I'm pretty sure EVO 2013 was the best EVO of all time. Everything all weekend was seriously awesome, and Sunday finals pretty much made my heart stop and my brain explode every few minutes. Just a simply fantastic tournament all around. Thanks to everyone who made that possible.
