EVO 2011 Results Roundup

That lil 8 year-old was kicking many an arse. Kudos to all ye worldly warriors. Time to go watch some re-caps.

The MK, MvC3, and SSF4AE matches were pretty intense...Tekken 6, not so much. Missed the BlazBlue finals =(. Major congrats to PerfectLegend...he worked his ass off for that.

Yeah Haku-men REPRESENT!

that highlight video was weak... didn't even show the finals just some random matches

They were fun to watch indeed.

Man, I know Latif fell just short, but watching him beat the Japanese legends was aweswome last night!

I love Mortal Kombat, but watching tournament play for it is way more boring than I thought it'd be.

ALSO: Poongko dominating the shit out of Daigo was amazing.

You know that the video isn't a highlight reel? It's the intro video they had used for the stream, reposted to Youtube.

Also, POOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKGOOOOOOOOOO!!

This is so twelve hours ago.

Seriously though, awesome competition. I missed Tekken, which everyone said was lame, but MK, MvC, and SSF4 were all nailbiters the whole way through. I'm a little letdown that Daigo or Latif didn't win SF, or that PR Balrog didn't take MvC, but what can you do. Well done Fuudo.

I didn't watch EVO, but I'm really amazed at how cut-and-dry the top MK character choices are. None of the riskier, weirder characters like Noob Saibot made it up there. Not even Ermac, who everyone thought was a total beast. I suppose there's more comfort zone in characters like Liu Kang, but I can't wait to see somebody play a really good, competitive Sektor, for instance.

I am happy for Perfect Legend and am glad he took first for Mortal Kombat. Love his Kung Lao. Daigo took 4th on Super Street Fighter 4: AE and used Yun?

the pr rog tron comeback ... AWESOME

so much HYPED exceeded my expectations of this year, plus famous players got bodied and exposed its priceless

Phoenix is infuriating to watch. She is just so cheap. If Viscant had won without using her, I would give him mad respect (I doubt he cares, lol) to me Puerto Rican Balrog is the real winner.

I love the way the whole video was just MvC3 and BB:CS2 highlights. No love for Tekken 6 and SSFIV? (and I guess MK... blergh).

sausage-fest

This years evolution was cool and is a wake up call too think about the tekken 6 tourney was so voting because namco is taking less risks with the gameplay and isn't balancing enough I hate to say it but as much as capcom lets us gamers down you gotta admit that they keep things interesting and fresh with balance tweaks and rage meters even though I really hate xfaxtor I'm mvc3 and as for mk9 man I'm so proud of people supporting this game and I knew it would do well and like someone else said here there's endless possibilities for this game and it's so fun but Kung Lao is a beast if used skillfully.

I like joystiq covering competitive gaming a bit more. Also I found most of the matches in top 8 in all the games to be pretty awesome. My favorite was Spark's Hakumen (which is a low tier character) taking on all comers.

Man noah was awesome

Best EVO moment was JWong's MvC3 comeback using an Akuma with no health... lol. And, even with the finals lacking Daigo, they were damn fun... although I must say I loved seeing not only a Fei take it all, but Latif get his ass beat inward.

Daigo's Poongko match-up was doomed, though. Everybody knows Yun and Poongko read Daigo like a book. Still, you won't ever see a top 8 without the Beast.

Lastly, Tekken and MK just don't belong here. They're both respectable series, but I just don't see them as tournament caliber, let alone fun to watch and too many of the titles, in their respective series, are hit n' miss as far as quality goes.

Poongko... that little spammer. But Fuudo was some serious mother****er.

Spark and Lord Knight battles were frenetic, damn.

The 8yo from MvC, haha, unbelievable.

MK9 sucks, not surprised.

Im kinda disappointed Latif eliminated Daigo in AE, I was really hoping to see him and Poongko run it back. Its really hard to gauge who's better when they only got to play each other in 2 match. I would like to see a longer set between those 2.

Evo was amazing this year, so many upsets and highlights:
-JWong getting perfected in his top game.
-Daigo getting perfected in his top game, neither of them made grandfinals.
-Michaelangelo among many other favorites not making top 8 in MK9, besides Perfect Legend.
-PR Rog's sick Tron comeback against Phoenix.
-8 year old Noah beasting his way to top 48 in Marvel.
-KayoPolice/Aris commentary (LMAO watch it if you havent on YT)
-Spark's absolute defense impregnable Haku-men.
-Latif killing 3 SF4 monsters back to back.
-Some Deadpool player almost OCV'ing with Deadpool only to blow himself up to death in the end.
-Tokido top 8 in 3 games.
-Last but not least, Fuudo's undefeated perfect Fei Long play.

Man I dont think the next Evo can outdo all this, but I'm really hoping to be wrong~!

I can't see the video :(

Video is private. Video is LAME.
