SF4 finals not for another few hours, that's where the real hype is :D

@jynxycat yes, bring on super yun fighter soon!

@jynxycat: Marvel has plenty of hype, and MK9 has folks amped currently.

SF4 isn't the only tough kid on the block anymore.

@AriesWarlock

There were 2 Yun players in the top 8, and neither of them won. I don't think you actually watched Evo.

Love Evo every year, You should keep doing this joystiq. Love all fighting games and people are getting real hype for Mortal kombat which makes me happy; NetherRealm studios deserves it.

I was watching 'Mad Men' on Neflix, and placed it on pause 3hrs ago. Been watching this ever since.

So hype right now, MK is great! MVC3 and SSFIV:AE is only going to be better. So much swag.

@Monkeyzamm

I actually prefer the format Joystiq has right now. I don't know why, but videos always make people seem worse than when they type.

At least that's how it's been with all the other sites I've seen (Mega64, Giantbomb, IGN).

Did blaze blue already happen?

Yeah BB was the first finals at noon

Go KOREA!

Daigo got blown up! So free against Poongko. Props to Latif.

Man, those AE finals were amazing. Never thought I'd see Daigo get taken down with a perfect, especially from a Seth player. I was surprised Poongko didn't take the whole thing after that. That stage presence. Man, what a great year for Evo.

@JBourne
I honestly dont get why people dont consider Seth a thread. Yes hes got low life and die easy but thats because he has EVERYTHING ELSE, literally.

I'll leave Daigo's loss partially to his inexperience with the matchup since apparently Seth is not big in Japan, now Latif, that man deserves all the props for defeating 3 monsters back to back in top 8.
