EVOLUTION 2012 - TOP 5 HYPE MOMENTS

[@lordzhuge]

Watching that KOF final live was one of the best things I've experienced

[@h3ct0r182]

Jesus Fuck, those Kof grand finals are still the hypest shit When Bala pulled out Clark I actually yelled at the top of my lungs

[@nephilimalch]

That KoFXIII tournament was amazing. It's too bad that Bala seemed to lose his cool near the end, but he was amazing and even though he didn't win, I still think he showed the world that he's one of the best players out there. I can't wait to see what the next Evo brings.

[@TabrisRebuild]

I STILL wish Bala won ;_;. Come back later was such a glorious moment.

[@Shippoyasha]

The entire KOF13 tourney was insanely hype. No other Evo moments were as fun to watch. I'm going to play KOF now.

[@LuigiLonLon]

Let's admit it, the Trophy at 6:37 was very spot on

[@SaigaTenshi]

That also added the hype

[@raedee-z1w]

That KOF 13 grand finals was indeed one of the hypest games I've ever watched.

[@dontfearthestinger]

Evo 2014, BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Grand Finals. Ohhhh, the Hype.

[@RaiKageRyu]

Personally, I felt 2012 was KOFXIII year. Those Koreans just came out of nowhere. And combined with Infiltration winning SF and another Korean that won Tekken? It was like Korea was on top of the FGC for a while after that EVO.

[@1shoryuken]

KOF XIII had the most hype EVO moments this year, that final match between Bala and Mad KoF was intense.

[@having765]

man if no.2 switched with no.1 this list would be perfect

[@TheBrianJ]

As someone who loves UMVC3 and has never played KOFXIII.... I think I agree with you. The finals of UMVC seemed hype, but holy SHIT that KoF match was unlike anything I've seen at EVO before.

[@Dro788]

Still watching this in 2015. I watched this EVO live from start to finish (online) when it aired and was never as amused or entertained by any other EVO events like i was this one, i will never forget it, man if only i was able to go in person :( Amazing matches and commentating, seriously unforgettable EVO. Yipes though haha.

[@DXDragon38]

You know, I almost thought "When the hell did they add Megaman to UMVC3?" lol 7:58

[@RajanWolf]

Gotta give it up to all those who made EVO 2012 so awesome and for giving us some sweet fights we'll be looking back on until next year!

[@SaigaTenshi]

the most top in Evo 2012 is the proposal :D

[@Sapnotaj]

I absolutely loved the "COME BACK LATER!" moment. :D KoF GF was the best match I have ever watched on stream hands down. Nice top 5.

[@TinyPandimonium]

2:35 sour face lol, looks like he just swallowed a whole lemon

[@openpelican]

The editing on this video is really great Max. Also, I love Yipes so much. His lady squeals at 10:45 made my day.

[@inuyasha54325]

HAHA I thought they wer playing the SLAM JAM at EVO

[@RosaEveningstar]

Really solid Top 5. Was my first EVO I ever watched and I absolutely LOVED it. Cannot wait for 2013. My top 5 would've included Daigo v Gamerbee though.

[@Fardinton]

I think it's litterlay ironic that a Mexican player USES Captain America xD

[@davidespinozaortiz3956]

Well, Mexico technically is part of America. America is a continent, moron.

[@kluckyboy89]

Them feelzzzz with the music in the background...

[@pandapro]

no mames ese es el bala? :O!

[@MellalleM]

he totally is, wey.

[@lordzhuge]

The whole KoF top 8 finals were great to watch, something I'll be forever proud I stayed up till 4am to see

[@Pookie2112]

marvel sucks its boring just combos endless endless combos boring

[@intergalacticchicano]

CamTheKitty ah look the troll even liked his own post........laaaaameeeee

[@apollstar1]

So hyped up!! best Evo ever!! and I watch through the whole finals! I wish there was an Evo everyday!!

[@Haviik990]

That Bala comeback gives me the chills every time I watch it.

[@TheMeetymeet]

KOF XIII gave me a near heart attack. Bala was so close and a lot of tables turned. Thanks to him, I start using Takuma. Takuma is actually fun to use and to think I thought he wasn't too interesting to use. But I was wrong. KOF seriously gave me the most hype out of all years of EVO. K-O-F FOREVER!!!

[@crowxiii2073]

Not sure why I went back for some of these old clips. But damn does it hit.

[@abcdef1575]

Nearly a year later and still hype. Good picks man.

[@jeudyazzarelli1213]

I remember watching KOF grand finals live. So good

[@maggotcorps]

i cant believe i was there! flew all the way from maui hawaii, to see evo 2012. first time to vegas too, never playing blackjack again hahaha. SEE YOU 2013 EVOLUTION!

[@itsmechriswong]

I hope there is incredible amounts of hype this year, like so much hype the audio filters on the streams break lol

[@VideoQuestEx]

Glad some highlights from the KOF 13 matches were included here!

[@Skub_]

Same reason he wears the headphones while he plays. Just helps him focus/tone out all the lights and crowd.

[@kenshixhimura22]

It was all about KoF for me, me and my friends we were screaming from our houses it was so exciting and intense. Marvel was kind of boring for me, however (though, I am not an MvC3 fan.) I have to say, this year's EVO was the best, especially because of KoF, I had all but completely given up on KoF and this EVO has inspired me to start playing it again, you could tell that the players enjoyed this game and the crowd enjoyed watching it. I hope it returns next year, I'd love to see some runbacks

[@ubermaster1]

That ending....was freaking touching, holy god that guy picked and chooses right, and so did she.

[@kitnammm]

evo was amazing this year! that finals though, gah! i'm so glad i streamed it at home cause staying at the venue for that long was a test to all spectators as well. kof and umvc finals were nuts! can't wait to see what's in store for next year

[@duranarts]

This is great. Props on the work that went behind setting this up.

[@jdl9xc]

I watched the stream and as an avid MvC fan, I can say the KoF finals were WAY more hype. To be honest, I'm not sure if I've enjoyed watching any series of matches as well as that finals in any game. Really recommend that people watch it.

[@chubbs2067]

Love that song with Quad City DJ's vs MvC3... Evo was amazing this year, the Bala v MadKOF was the highlight for me, but the UMvC3 tourney was definately the most hype. I dont like Champ, but I give him credit for winning with a non Phoenix team, Infrit played amazing so I feel sad for him.

[@LeeLyLeezors]

Max, the slam at the end made me cry tears of joy.

[@NexusKuno]

Max. Excellent editing on this video. Seriously, brought all the hype back. =)

[@hotdiddykong2]

DAMN all this HYPE is amazing, i cant WAIT for EVO 2013, especially with Killer Instinct Making an Appearance and that Smash Bros Melee is finally back

[@zanpakutoman]

I didn't think you were going to do this, because it seemed as though every match on stream that weekend was the hypest matches ever

[@paladin400]

i know man. he was actually the one person in the whole tournament i didnt want to see winning. but he won with legit skill, not using phonix at the end surprisingly and he deserves it. i wish ANYONE else had won, but he deserves it.

[@DuvJones]

Something like that, the "Road to EVO" was a set of tournaments that gave seeding for placement at Evo. The better you did in those tournaments (NCR, Torukyen, Final Round, etc.) the more points that you got for a good spot in pools at Evo. That said, so long as you registered for evo beforehand, you can just show up... just know that where you where placed in pools would be random.

[@dorik0]

Love the choices of music, especially the selection from Bayonetta and the Super Slam remix

[@DXTb0nEXD]

even though i have yet to play any of those games i still love watching these videos

[@gorgeouszan]

love watching spider play. He shows that Spider-man is a legitimate threat in Marvel when so many people used to think he wasn't good.

[@TakashiHankuro]

I never played KOF in my life, like once when I was 5, and I love UMvC3, I play it a lot and planning to go to tournaments later on, and I could tell koF was so hype when I was on stream. The chatbox was flooded with OMG BALA OvO! and stuff like that and I pushed my friend out of my window, I was hype more then ever and encouraged me to play KoF13. I was just waiting for Umvc3 to stream to get on too. God, this was a really strong and hype moment and really does top off Umvc3 this year.

[@thehermitwizard]

I love Hellpockets commentary. Makes everything so hype.

[@theo001dore]

"She said yes" was my favourite moment in the video.

[@Manyula]

1:09 Clockwork looking like he's stealing the dude's phone. Gets me every time.

[@MugenLifeStyle]

from what i've seen so far with most events with top level play is that the pros usually dont use ultras unless its to combo something in. Infiltration top it to the next step by incorporating a key component which helped him win matches

[@Ausdrake]

Great vid Max, but you shouldn't have limited it to only 5 moments! There were a couple other great moments too. Off the top of my head there was the point in the MK finals where one of the players went to the command list to find out how to do a Fatality which was hilarious, and of course in SC5 where Decopon won the entire tournament with "low tier" Tira.

[@novabringer8264]

theses moments are one of the many reasons I love video games

[@xXFELIX17Xx]

Even fighting game tournaments give me lil emotional moment :')

[@knives2718]

#1 moment was fcking epic. You did a good job in putting that music, it was very fitting for an epic game.

[@xavierareas]

MAX YOU ARE SUCH A REPORTER TYPE PERSON! KUDOS BRO!

[@TheKarmak]

Loved those Spider man matches with mame spider. Beats seeing another Virgil/zero/spencer combo imo.

[@McReins]

Not sure of his name but he is there every year. Reads the players extremely well.

[@Looc105]

This video was better than the 3 days of EVO.

[@stephenk5477]

SSBM is going to show the fighting game world just how technical and viable of a tournament game it truly is.

[@OhMercyMe]

When he picked Clark and the commentator started doing Arnold-impressions... Priceless.

[@jamchew1982]

this is awesome dude, i love your highlight vids

[@UltimaBlank]

I was only really interested in watching marvel, but i did catch the finals for KOF and SCV, KOF was insaaaaaaaneeeee hype and SCV had some amazing moments too, Infrit played absolutely great, sticking with his team and doing his thing, mad props to him :D

[@eternal0star]

Agreed, ST Tournament of Legends, IWBTG:G, then top 32 of SF4, then KOF, then top 8 marvel, then grand finals SC5, then top 8 SF4, then the rest of marvel. IMO that is the order of hype for me. The first day of SF4 was AMAZING.

[@Ipwnweniwant2]

I play marvel, but the kof finals were so hype, I actually went out and got the game, and haven't touched marvel since. I gotta say, KOF was insanely intense.

[@MrMastercatfish]

I got to agree with you on that one, that final was awesome

[@rican2nhd]

Event hubs has the link to the 2013 hype moments and its just what everyone expected too

[@conected]

Yes it was, even top 8 was intense and it all culminated in one of the best Grand Finals at this EVO and maybe some other EVOs, seeing that live was pretty intense, the energy and tension in that room was electric and people felt it on the stream and this isnt the opinion of KOF fans i've seen marvel fans saying the same

[@Arz2003]

That k.o.f . Finals was dramatic and emotional.

[@666Sora666]

That spider-man comeback was by far the best thing in the UMvC3 Tournament!

[@Syntheric01]

Dude evo was so awesome. This was my first time at evo and I got sad when it was over, haha It almost felt like something was missing in my life . There's such a cool atmosphere and everyone else is awesome. I'll definitely go every year now and participate :D some of my friends are even coming just to go to evo. That's how cool it was

[@MTTKamikaze]

Yup, it even is "One Of A Kind", the track from the begining before the prologue in the cemetary (the part where you are falling on a clocktower fragment with Jeanne)

[@alsween218]

Yes! Bayonetta's "One of a Kind" is so fitting during epic moments. I blast that song on my MP3 player whenever I can!

[@Tio_Remi]

we will never forget ken's freaking amazing come back from EVO 2004

[@D0ntTaseM3Br0]

Props to Max for putting the Marriage Proposal on here. It was more hype then Super SFIV Top 8 BTW, WHERE IS THE LEGENDS TOURNAMENT MAX!? That shit was AMAZING. As well as your panel and the Persona 4 Panel!

[@Fenir91]

That Bayonetta track "One of a Kind" made that whole last half amazing.

[@AeonBlade]

Saw EVO live. Most hype moments for me (in no particular order): - Combofiend vs F Champ top 8 - All the M.O.D.O.K.s - Infrit's air H rocket punch to go up 2-1 in GF (who uses that, lol) - Chris G's Doom getting hit by sphere flame on his way in. - KOF grand finals (made me want to pick up the game) - All the shit flying on the screen during Flocker vs Infrit top 8 - Ultimate Web Throw on incoming Strider Way more moments during top 32s as well, but can't remember em all.

[@jubcool]

Dieminion vs Fuudo in AE when he eliminated Fuudo was super hype. And when Seth hopped on the mic for top 8.

[@spartagame]

nothing more better

[@superarisu]

I remember those KOF finals. That was insane.

[@VonHunter21]

@Miles923 Loving the music choices in this video. Especially for the #1 Hype moment. Keep up the good work, dood!

[@EastyyBlogspot]

kof was my fav though i only saw the final....the skill required to pull off some of those combos in kof is insane possibly some of the most hardest in any fighting game

[@MhDaMaster]

bala made a comeback 3 on 1 in the finals thats was hype

[@MagiKavin]

UMvC3 this year was nothing short of amazing. :D

[@NurseKortney]

I wish we could have seen you Max!

[@Rockman707]

I think he focused more on the games, since that's what EVO really IS for, and not for proposing, but at least he still showed it at the ending of the vid. It's like a special part of EVO but it's not really about EVO itself.

[@ReFlexPoison197]

EVO 2013 INCOMING!

[@MagicantProductions]

Idk man, as someone who was at EVO this year, KOF finals was hype, but only half the ballroom was full and most people were there to get a good seat for Marvel and AE finals. Marvel and AE finals were NUTS.

[@Likuzaim]

Maybe it's because I'm burnt out on MvC3, but the KoF moments were the most hype for me.

[@LudwigVanLarx]

I just noticed that Max used the Bayonetta theme "One of a Kind" for the UMvC3 Top 1 part. :3

[@FadingFrost1]

"What an answer!"

[@Church12349]

GREAT VIDEO MAN!!! AWESOMEEEEEEE

[@fotofantom1]

The commentator for the kof tournament in this video his voice is AWSOME

[@FireDavio42]

He had 2 solid Sentinel comebacks, and almost a 3rd. Gotta give credit where it's due.

[@frankhaggar97]

I`m having a hard time to decribe EVO 2012 so i`ll go with one word: Epic!

[@WhiteZelda]

That KOF Finals...man i almost got a heart attack
