they announced sagat?

Sagat and Sakura for season 3 was leaked last week. Not confirmed, but pretty close to it. I'm guessing we'll get confirmation at Capcom Cup for Sagat at least.

 

[JayEH]

see y'all next year. great set of matches all around. glad i was able to catch most of it this year.

 

[KidA Seven]

People love Daigo, but Tokido really is the greatest fighting game player of all time.

Definitely

Don't start this bro.

 

[oatmeal]

Any good recap videos? Or any good fights with YouTube clips?

 

[ldcommando]

sfv top 8 was the best ever

really liked tekken and kof as well

great evo overall, way improved over last year

 

[Josh5890]

That was a great SFV finals. Interested to see the ESPN numbers. Capcom coming through with those season 2 changes enough to have a crazy mix of fighters in finals.

Yea. The nice thing about Smash 4, SF, and Tekken to an extent was the wide use of characters today and throughout the tournament.

Don't forget: "THIS MAN WON EVOLUTION!"

I just needed something to cheer me up. Evo ending is always sad.

thanks i needed that laugh.

dayum this evo

 

[Zuly]

Tramain is a huge Tokido fanboy and I'm sure he's really happy that he won.

 

[secretanchitman]

Seriously a phenomenal EVO. I'm definitely going next year!

Anyone know if Barfights and/or salty suites streams going on? I need my fgc fix for post-evo lol...

 

[Lee Chaolan]

God, I fucking LOVE fighting games.

Indeed.

but I need to body you sometime for sure. ;o

 

[LucidMomentum]

What stream is the Marvel Salty Suite?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

I am loving Evolution. Been watching for 4 years now and it has always been amazing.

 

[Shouta]

That was a pretty sick Top 8 for SFV. It was just sick Top 8s all weekend to be honest.

 

[Basketball]

If anybody had to win minus Punk I'm super glad it's Tokido

but seriously if the dude gave himself a minute in the character select screen the outcome would have been different.

He lost mentally but good shit though.

 

[JusDoIt]

The ESPN production this year was the best possible advertisement for the game as a spectator sport. If fighting games fail to become a thing on TV, it's because people just aren't interested. It's not because the FGC has failed to put together a quality presentation.

Or it could be because Seth cried on live TV, but aside from that they nailed it.

 

[WarRock]

Fighting games that I tried to watch the entire tournament/top 8 and actually kept up with:

-SFV (No words. Just hype)
-Tekken 7 (Amazing tournament and amazing top 8)
-UMvC3 (One last send off for Marvel. RyanLV beating Chris G and ascending was satisfying to watch)
-GGXrd (First time watching a major for this game, very fun and am inspired to pick it up now)
-Injustice 2 (First NRS game that I haven't picked up, but not a bad top 8. Too much Aquaman tho)

Fighting games that I checked out their stream and find them interesting:
-Blazblue (Never thought I'd like the gameplay but here we are)
-Smash 4 (Actually a pretty fun game to watch not gonna lie.)
-KoF XIV (NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS GAME WOULD BE SO HYPE THAT DAIMON SUPER IN GF AAAAAAHHHH)

KoF is ALWAYS hype.

 

[HouseDragon]

Amazing Evo! Maybe the best SFV tournament I've ever seen. Too many hype matches and Tokido's play was masterful.

What a great show, already can't wait for next year (and for Punk's runback!)!

I'm gonna miss UMVC3 though, I'm not really feeling MVCI...

 

[Goodstyle]

I swear there was a moment when Tokido was holding the trophy in the line up and getting his name called, Punk looked over at the trophy in Tokido's hand and started crying even harder before looking away. If punk wasn't a massive shit talker I would have felt bad but in this context it was hilarious.

Congrats Tokido!!!

Damn, that is humiliating. I feel for Punk.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Goddammit how is it no one has clipped or gif'd that Raging Demon

 

[TruSpindash]

This years Evo was great, had a ton of fun watching this year.

 

[Curler]

From what I heard, people were allowed to grab multiples lol

Where did they hand them out? They sure didn't pass them around where I was...

 

[MrDaravon]

Punk still being 300+ points ahead of Tokido is crazy.

 

[SargerusBR]

Goddammit how is it no one has clipped or gif'd that Raging Demon

Seriously, i need to watch that again

 

[Kashiwaba]

Amazing Evo! Maybe the best SFV tournament I've ever seen. Too many hype matches and Tokido's play was masterful.

It's a bit too early to judge MVC:I people need to give it a chance the games seems pretty deep so far.

 

[direct_quote]

Fuck that someone needs to gif the taunt combo (or maybe they did?).

 

[Trey]

One of the best EVOs ever.

MVCI will come around. I think capcom understands the legacy of that series and they will support and improve as necessary.

They need to fix the atrocious UI. It's garbage tier.

My dude went all the way off lol

The real Evo champ.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Well Punk won about 15.2k then. I'm sure he can wipe way his tears with all those hundreds.

But really, it was sad to see him lose. He took it hard but someone had to. He's still so young and has plenty of years to dominate.

At least dude got paid. That's some skrilla.

 

[Kadey]

Capcom Cup in December and EVO Japan in January.

Marvel Salty Suites. https://www.twitch.tv/azangelic

Punk is close to $200k in overall earnings this year. Most by anyone. It would take for Tokido to win Capcom Cup to surpass him otherwise no one will.

 

[M_A_C]

any good salty suite streams? I heard they might do Bar Fights again.

 

[KidA Seven]

I'm glad Tokido won it. He was looking like the best throughout season 1, and then started to fall off in season 2. Thought he might have lost his best chance to claim one of those world titles.

Guy was just on his game this weekend.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Seriously, i need to watch that again

Fuck that someone needs to gif the taunt combo (or maybe they did?).

i need these too

surely we'll unearth it guys

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

(For real though, that Demon was one of the dirtiest things I've ever seen. That crowd eruption and commentator reaction was amazing, my eyes were bugging out.)

 

[secretanchitman]

Fuck that someone needs to gif the taunt combo (or maybe they did?).

Here - not mine but I found it on r/streetfighter!

 

[gundamkyoukai]

This was a great EVO and a great SFV top 8 .

[kitzkozan]

I don't see how punk can keep up his alpha schtick after crying like that.

Meh, he's still a kid and I have seen numerous junior level players weeps after a huge loss. I'm relieved in a way because there is a risk for a young player to become complacent when they win too much too soon. Tokido needed years to finally win an EVO (just like Chris G in Marvel 3), so this is a good lesson for Punk. You always have to be on your toes, always be ready to improvise and think of new strategies on the fly to stay at the very top because you will run into super hot players eventually (or those who are your black beast).
