Looking back at Evolution 2009 I have to say that it was a supreme event. Better that the Olympics. Better than the X Games. It might have been as well funded or even televised, but still seems like a complete success. I still go back to Ustream and watch all that action and even see stuff I didn't before.
I have come up with my personal favorite moments. Im not talking whole matches but some of them are whole matches. All of these come straight from Ustream bookmarks, lucky me they had all my favorites, so if you click on one of the videos it will link you all of the videos. That being said I would say not to buy the IGN thing. This is free, that is not.
5) "Dan from Japan" (Ryu) vs. Sanford (Cammy) This match just made me say, "Wow, thats some crazy Cammy!" Not only was Sanford's execution solid but also his psychic counters. The crowd also is sheer hype.
4) The Evo Flowchart Ken
3) Yeb's Amazing Match
Yeb is one of my favorite Gen players along with JibBo, this match beats out all of the matches JibBo had. The combo for the win in the second round made me want to stand up and cheer.
3) STRAIGHT OF THE MATRIX!
In the match during the 5v5 team match for SF4 there were some great moments but the best for me is during the match before Saber and Alex V. When Saber does a tatsu over Alex's super Dogface gives one of the greatest lines ever. The whole match was great but that moment made me love it even more.
1) LOOK AT THE DAMAGE...oh wait.
Triforce is one of the most annoying people in the fighting game sense. His commentary during the matches was the most annoying of the tourny. Iloveyou Joe hit a ultra on an Akuma player ( i dont remember his name) and Triforce seems to think Joes has it. Next thing you know Joe lost. All because he was being a dumbass. This moment is my favorite because it sure did shut Triforce up, and gives us one of the best quotes of Evo.
Anyone else have any favorite moments? Post video if you can. I want to see them also.
