feel bad for dogura, lmao.

dude plays a mean bison in SF4 too btw

 

[Finaika]

Hmmm should I watch the World Cup finals or the Killer Instinct finals?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Gonna be pretty hard to top that IMO

Says a lot considering that Blazblue didn't really have any advertised storylines prior to that. You know who to look for in Marvel and street fighter. But the play itself just had so much emotion.

 

[BassForever]

So is Killer Instinct hype or is it Injustice levels of *groan*

 

[Papercuts]

I see a Japanese girl bawling uncontrollably in the corner. Dogura's wife or gf perhaps? A really hardcore fan?

Anime just causes a wave effect of random tears

All y'all anime look alike

brah

hype ninjas are the exception.

 

[Eleuin]

35k just for 1st? Damn

 

[Altazor]

amazing.

this fits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3sZfPSSNVg

 

[AdanVC]

"I CAME HERE TO LAUGH NOT TO FEEL" is probably my favorite quote.

Quote of the year omg. He/She is totally right :')

 

[StriKeVillain]

Same here

:lol at your avatar.

 

[Coolade]

 

[BronsonLee]

RIDICULOUS FINAL.

Now watch Dogura hit Garireo with the artwork he won from behind

DAMN YOU DOGURA
WHY
TELL ME WHY

 

[Save 'N Quit]

KI wasn't that interesting yesterday so I'm hoping for something exciting today

 

[MrDaravon]

lol

Jay Snyder ‏@JayViscant 3m
Alright that was pretty cool.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Man I really wanted Dogura to win but Galileo worked his ass off for that. Goddamn that was well deserved.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

That match was absolutely amazing.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

HOW

HE LOST THAT SET LIKE TWENTY TIMES

Good lord. Fighting games.

 

[DeadManWalking]

That was amazing and emotional.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

35k just for 1st? Damn

That's the total pot size. 1st place gets an estimated $19k

 

[Sheroking]

Going from that to what may be the most predictable top-8 is kind of rough.

Still, I wanna see Justin win two games on Finals day.

 

[Dai101]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TIME

 

[Revven]

This is why you watch ALL the games on finals day -- you don't know what can happen.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Face of a man winning 35k

 

[Moaradin]

KI wasn't that interesting yesterday so I'm hoping for something exciting today

This will be the first competitive KI I've seen since the first couple weeks. Hope it's good.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

So bummed to see Azrael lose. I need to watch that set over and over and over though, cause I have a shitload of trouble in that matchup.

 

[Pappasman]

Dogura's girlfriend is crying the emotions are at an all time high here in vegas.

 

[.la1n]

So is Killer Instinct hype or is it Injustice levels of *groan*

It can be fun, like anything else, depending on how the match ups play out. If it's Justin running over everyone with Sabrewulf then no it won't be very hype.

 

[iori9999]

If there were bets for top 8, I'm thinking most bet on N-O or Dogura.. Garireo won and reset the bracket and came back down from 0-2 and it was FUCKING HYPE!! Only thing that would have been better is if someone like Tiku or Yoshiki would have won with a relatively weaker character.. Litchi is still top tier..


Edit: I loved how SG celebrated with Garireo, it was awesome!!!

 

[Karsticles]

Well said.

Those numbers were pretty solid for an AM grand finals, too - I saw it up to 77,000. That's a lot of folks watching Evo in the morning.

 

[Lyonaz]

Fuck I missed it, when is the archive up?

 

[enzo_gt]

So is Killer Instinct hype or is it Injustice levels of *groan*

At high level it can be pretty hype, much moreso than Injustice. This is coming from someone who really doesn't like watching it that much, either.

I would have also said the same about BBCP, but oh boy I would have been proven wrong.

 

[RangerBAD]

Crowd looked like it was going to rush the stage and carry him or something. It was TREMENDOUS. Holy shit this is like the Daigo moment all rolled into one set. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. I called the set OVER multiple times. Its unreal. I love EVO!

Everyone thought it was over every single time. That's why it was so awesome!

 

[Curry-Hakase]

I see a Japanese girl bawling uncontrollably in the corner. Dogura's wife or gf perhaps? A really hardcore fan?

Yea pretty sure that was his girlfriend.

 

[ieptbarakat]

That comeback was amazing, Garireo has now ascended into godhood.

 

[GuardianE]

lol

Hahahha.

 

[SMgamer83]

What an amazing finals! And that's just the first game of the day!

 

[Lunar15]

This is why you watch ALL the games on finals day -- you don't know what can happen.

I learned that lesson with KoF 2012.

 

[Master Thespian]

23K won or lost would make me cry too, brehs. Amazing grand finals and the emotion afterwards from Galileo and Dogura just added to it.

 

[Xevren]

This will be the first competitive KI I've seen since the first couple weeks. Hope it's good.

Hope you like Sabrewulf!

 

[sleepykyo]

lol

High praise considering the source.

 

[pixelish]

lol

the day that anime won

 

[enzo_gt]

lol

lmao

ANIME WINS

 

[mysteriousmage09]

So. Fucking. Good.

 

[RangerBAD]

That Mao shot. lol

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Killer Instinct? Time to watch the world cup final.

 

[rrc1594]

It can be fun, like anything else, depending on how the match ups play out. If it's Justin running over everyone with Sabrewulf then no it won't be very hype.

That's why I can't wait till Season 2. I'm tried of the Count Von Sabrewulf

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Who's Top 8 in KI?

This will be the first competitive KI I've seen since the first couple weeks. Hope it's good.

Same. Missed it yesterday.

 

[T.O.P]

Rico Suave needs to take KI


He has to


No wulf or Sadira in GF would be perfect

 

[Rentahamster]

Yea pretty sure that was his girlfriend.

Yeah probably. She went over to Dogura and collapsed in his arms, crying

 

[Projectjustice]

Its a pretty amazing feeling when you put so much into something and finally achieve that goal.

I LOVE EVO!!!!! I will be going again next year.

 

[pelican]

What an amazing finals! And that's just the first game of the day!

Yeah, I really regret not taking tomorrow off work now. SF Finals won't start until approx 2am UK time.
