THE HYPEST MOMENTS IN FIGHTING GAMES
Fighting games are filled with some of the hypest moments in gaming. If you’re still on the fence about trying fighting games, here are some of the hypest moments in fighting game history:
Go1 vs Leffen(DBFZ)
Dragonball Fighterz in its’ release was a very rare game that had players from every type of fighting game. GO1, one of the best anime players of all time, and Leffen, one of the best Smash Brothers Melee players of all time. They went head to head in top 48 in a first to 2 tournament. Down one character to 3, GO1 makes one of the most legendary comebacks ever seen.
Justin Wong Mvc3 EVO 2014
Justin Wong held the Marvel Vs Capcom EVO championship title for over 10 years at one point. However, when marvel vs capcom 3 came out, he stuck to a weaker team, costing him his title 3 years in a row. 2014 was his time to redeem himself. Taking on his toughest foes in top 8, Justin Wong reclaimed his MvC title after a few years of coming short.
Evo Moment 37
Perhaps the most popular fighting game moment ever, EVO moment 37 was so legendary that it alone brought in players. Justin Wong vs Daigo in Street Fighter: Third Strike. In Third Strike, you can parry hits by tapping the forward input within a 2 frame window(2/60th of a second) in order to completely nullify the damage and any advantage. Daigo was one hit away from losing, even if blocked, so Justin threw out Chun Li’s 15 hit super. In a genre defining moment, Daigo successfully parried all 15 hits and then proceeded to finish the round with his own combo.
