It's crazy how much more money first place at the Capcom Cup is too compared to Evo. It's five or six times as much.

dat sony money

 

[KingClown]

Wow man, what an incredible ride this was. I can't believe I've been missing this all these years.

Not anymore.

I was rooting for Bee but the outcome was probably the best possible one all things considered. Wasnt Momochis fault his stick fucked up.

 

[AESplusF]

If Gamerbee had won, and Momochi's stick hadn't died, that would have been perfect.

 

[LeleSocho]

I'll be honest, up until Loser Finals this vas the most boring Evo i've seen but then the world happened~

 

[RC]

Please tell me there's going to be a salty suite after this?

 

[mr.beers]

Where can I watch some of the other tournaments matches? Only tuned in today would like to see smash 4 and KI.

 

[Dahbomb]

Kaneblueriver set us free...

 

[hwateber]

Momochi being gifted a new golden MadCatz stick is amazing.

It's poetic, really

 

[ironmang]

It's not about momentum, it's about frame of mind. Imagine you are doing something requires 100% of your focus and energy and then in an instant, you'e automatically taken out of that state of mind? It's incredibly hard to get back into it. That's what Chen and Killian were talking about. It jacked up Momochi and completely fucked Gamerbee who had been in that frame of mind for HOURS.

I would think it would shake momochi more since he had to switch to an entirely different stick and lose a round. Some people here think gamerbee lost because of this. like...wat

LOL

So having his stick fail and being forced to lose a round where he had the life lead gave Momochi an advantage, but gave Gamerbee a disadvantage?

Agree to disagree.

 

[Hugstable]

My first EVO watching, today has just been filled with hype.

USF4 Loser's Finals >>>>> Grand Finals

Both good sets though

 

[iori9999]

Best top 8 ever.. Better than KoF 2013 and BB 2014..

 

[naib]

Wow. What a finish.
Wish I was there.

 

[Slowdive]

An absolutely amazing EVO.

 

[BaraSailey]

Damn, I was really rooting for Gamerbee. Dude went through so much. Great showing from all of them though, super intense couple matches near the end.

 

[Wallach]

For real though:

This EVO is gonna make one hell of a 30 for 30 doc in a couple years.

This was definitely one of the most dramatic EVO finals days ever. Nobody's forgetting this one.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Razer getting blown up on twitter now.

 

[petghost]

Red rapper kinda ruining my emotional moment dude

 

[MThanded]

Never change Dan.

 

[Liquidsnake]

That was amazing. My GF doesn't understand why I have tears in my eyes.

 

[sora87]

This was my first proper Evo, I watched some of the others but this was the first time I watched everything and got into it. I'm gonna have to find other events to follow through the year now cause that was so hype and incredible.

 

[NotEasy]

LOL Gamerbee's girlfriend dresses like a Chun li.

Chun li?lol.

 

[KZXcellent]

Dan Ryckert everybody!

 

[DRE Fei]

Well, momochi still had to get his shit together after giving up that round. Good stuff to him for getting the job done in the situation.

Gotta hit that mute.

Don't give this dummy attention, please.

 

[hitgirl]

HAH

 

[Arzehn]

Eh, chanting the second place guy like that then nothing for 1st is pretty lame.
Dude looked like he felt bad about the whole deal and the crowd didn't help at all. Just barely putting on a smile.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Momochi "accidentally" disconnects to kill the momentum, ice out Gamerbee.

Dude was shooting an angle and should be banned from the sports.

This doesn't make sense considering Momochi had the momentum when the disconnect happened.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[I-hate-u]

It has been great watching yet another Evo with Gaf. Thanks y'all for an awesome moments this weekend.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I wish Austin Walker and Jason were on the same podcast to talk about this. Neither Giant Bomb nor the Beastcast have the people for it separately.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

there's no conspiracy here, jesus

 

[GuardianE]

The lesser of two evils won tonight though. I still feel bad for bee, but it would have been truly unjust the other way around.

 

[Numb]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
we free naw

 

[Foggy]

WE ARE ALL FREE NOW!

 

[Omnistalgic]

Gamerbee still the winner to me

I dunno, Mooch could have closed it the round Gamerbee got red focus, he didn't FA his low forward FB. That new match, he looked to have all the momentum IMO, looks like he was going to take it.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Hell of a EVO. Congrats to all the winners.

 

[Indignate]

YO SET ME FREE

 

[enzo_gt]

My first EVO watching, today has just been filled with hype.

You never forget your first. See you next year!

 

[Deadly]

Poor Gamerbee, at least he won the crowd over. Must suck for Momochi. Guy deserves the win but must feel bad when the crowd loves Gamerbee so much

 

[Zukuu]

Momentum has a bigger impact than a round. Gamerbee was definitely riding the wave.

That is why he was a round and in health behind. Ok... Yeah let's blame the winner for not deserving the win, even at an disadvantage. It was a bigger shock for Momochi, I'm sure. Getting a "free round" is hardly something that puts you out of your game. "Losing one", does.
