Has to be one of the closest finals of Evo that I've seen in a while! Top 8 SFV was so hype it made me lose my voice. Idom was so close, but no one can ever say he didn't put in that work! I'm so glad Evo is back!

This year's EVO was super hype.

[@AnimeGamer0]

Man - to see Melty Blood finally officially at EVO is great. I personally always thought it was a great Anime FGC. And I always heard that the Melty Blood tournaments at EVO were literally played in the bathrooms. To finally get out of there and finally make the big stage and get the glow up it deserves is absolutely great.

[@zanpakutoman4225]

I know MK 11 isn't the hypest game during this time, but the top 8 was actually still pretty good. At the very least, I think SonicFoxes Joker comeback, in his first set against one of the twins, deserved to be a highlight. Even if it isn't surprising, because it was SonicFox.

[@INoisyaI]

Agree, that moment was hyped as fuck, it deserves to be in highlights like this

Oki doesn’t exist, regenerative meter, a fully armored garunteed 30 percent move, breaking out of combos don’t reset neutral. I’m 100 percent better than you at fighting games.

Idom was the best player in that top 8 imo. He controlled Kawano the whole set, winning 4 straight at one point. It came down to a missed overhead meaty and a missed stMP antiair. Such an unlucky final round for Idom. Great top 8 from SFV.

[@BlakeSandenMedia]

This EVO hands down has been the most respectful, friendly, well organized event in past competitions time. No one was aggressive and folks celebrated their wins with a fun to watch display of show and good attitude. The overall atmosphere was inviting and everyone I believe was just happy this was an offline event. I don't care where you stand in terms of face coverings and compliance this isn't a political post, but everyone did they're part with honor and respect. I didn't hear not one complaint. Very proud moment for the FGC. 💪💪💪 This will go down as the best EVO for a long time to come.. the quality of content for all games was incredible in terms of the players and skill. Oh and BTW I got to play the SF6 demo.. it's off the chain!!!

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

I've been watching EVO heavily every EVO weekend for years now. I even have the DVDs from back in the day. The sets you purchased and when EVO put the entire tournament as torrents. And I've still haven't made my way to EVO. I think I'll go next year. This is the only fighting game tournament I watch and I keep staying home for it.

[@slimerone]

This is your sign to go next year. Don’t take life for granted, people die everyday in the most random ways.

[@f1r3hunt3rz5]

I regret not catching this year's EVO when it was live.

[@SmartGuyChris]

As someone who's unfamiliar with fighting games/EVO outside of Smash, I have two questions: 1. Why did everyone get hype and yall in unison when Cell yelled? (3:09) Is it merely a reference to the anime when Cell and Gohan faced off against each other, or is it something deeper? 2. Why did the crowd get hype when Panda was chosen on the character select screen? (7:12)

[@bogmanosaka472]

Not sure about question 1 but i think its like a community thing, this was the 1st physical evo since pandemic and they are just hype to do it again. For no.2 Panda is a low tier character but the one play who is choosing it that time (Rangchu) was able to win major tournament using her, so rangchu choosing panda again hypes the crowd.

[@rikittu]

Late reply but for the scream, the first evo dbfz was in, everyone screamed with cell, like how it was in the anime. You can watch the 2018 evo cell scream and it's probably the loudest scream in any evo. Cell was a top tier back then but now only one guy, shanks, who has been maining cell since back then, had made top 8 so it was a perfect opportunity to do the cell scream. It was the first evo after the pandemic so everyone was hype. And now about panda, the character is in no way even close to a top tier character. The guy who picked panda, rangchu, won the tekken world tour with such an unorthodox character. People were hyped seeing him pick up panda again on the big stage. There's an amazing video on his journey by the channel "theScoreEsports". Just look up "panda tekken 7 theScoreEsports" on youtube.

[@LoadingScreen9]

I have never played Tekken, would you explain what happened at that moment for me?

[@Bipumasta]

@@LoadingScreen9 Panda is considered one of the worst, if not the worst, character in the game. Basically a joke character. Rangchu, being an absolute madman, decided he was going to play Tekken 7 at the highest possible level using Panda and he actually won Tekken World Tour 2018 with Panda, surprising everyone. Since then, he became famous for being THE Panda player and the only person crazy enough to pick a bear in EVO top 8. When he hovers over Panda, the crowd goes wild, and then he takes his time to troll the audience by fooling around in the character select screen before confirming his pick. People are just really hyped for his Panda because, let's face it, picking a low tier character at EVO top 8 is always badass.

[@Mikey_Mike1]

I’m new to the EVO scene, do they have Dead or Alive or Smash at these tournaments normally?

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

Yes, Nintendo opted to not include Smash at this year's event, we're not sure why, but usually it would be here. Dead or Alive probably at least has a side tourney, but it's a franchise that hasn't seen a major release in quite a few years, so.

There were only 3 out of 9 games with Japanese players in GF. Melty Blood, Granblue, and Street Fighter. Although to be fair, Japan won all 3 of those grand finals, with Granblue being double Japanese players. Penpen made it to Loser's Finals, but not Grand Finals in Skullgirls. If anything the US were the ones with more GFs than anyone. 2 First places and 5 second place finishes, with double US grand finals for Skullgirls. Making it 6 out of 9 games with US players in GF.
