wat happened to evo moments 1-36

>>713953021 (OP)
They didn't exist, they just named it 37 to imply other cool shit like that has happened

>>713953112
It was an EDUCATED GUESS that there were 36 other clipworthy moments.

tragic made it up.

>>713953021 (OP)
It was a psyop to make you think the fgc was cool and interesting and not a bunch of annoying faggot incels

There were moments before this? This is like the only one I see get brought up constantly. I don't think I know any worthwhile ones after this either.

admittedly, those two players stage it every time they play each other, but still pretty cool

>>713953973
Its part of the FGC's pathetic attempts to seem more impressive than it actually is. That the single most exciting moment in their entire history is *just* another day to them.
Obviously it isn't because one asian beat another in a fighting game 25 years ago and IS STILL FUCKING TALKED ABOUT TODAY.

>fgc was cool and interesting
It was.
>a bunch of annoying faggot incels
It is.

>>713953021 (OP)
They've been milking moment 37 for 20 years, holy shit.
At least mention the Hugo moment from last Evo or something, tired of hearing about the gay ass chun li parry

>>713955582
>tired of hearing about the gay ass WOMBO COMBO
just mad cause you suck at vidya and no one will even know that.

Sorry but EVO is owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment since 2021, they're not allowed to something cool like this if it hasn't been approved by Papa Playstation, and right now Papa Playstation only focuses on Capcom because they're making Pragmata for their console.

>>713955582
Even justin wong made "getting moment 37'd" his entire personality every time he plays third strike

>>713953021 (OP)
i've heard some jwong and choi comebacks variously reffered to as 'evo moment number x' it really depends on which oldhead you ask.

test

>>713953021 (OP)
Why is there no moment 38? Are there really no good moments across 21 years of fighting games?

>>713953021 (OP)
we need to go back in time and stop evo moment 37 from happening
I don't care of it kills street fighter 3, I'm just tired of seeing evo moment 37 get glazed to death

>>713953021 (OP)
They collectively went into hiding because 37 38 39

>>713960914
>not going back in time to be moment number 36
this is why we will never have time travel.

homo genius: a history of gay inventors > EVO moments

>>713960914
Get used to it since the FGC is lame as shit now and will never be cool again

>>713961062
oh i'm aware. fighting games in general have been ass for quite some time now, and too many people get desperate for esports money when that only really matters for street fighter or tekken, and even then most people won't even come close to that level of talent or skill required.

>>713953021 (OP)
It was on an evo vhs with other moments.

>>713960914
Iunno chief, regardless of hype it's one of the few cases of establishing why understanding mechanics and the matchup plus practice can produce more substantial results than a character's kit carrying you.
Don't get me wrong Ken is still Ken, but that's a separate discussion.

>>713957623
Fighting games were better when it was hood niggas, barrio niggas, and hmong niggas talking shit and threatening to fight/stab each other. No more SmoothViper making some white faggot autist cry. No more washed up old niggas like CLACKWERK. No more SooMighty stoned off his ass stomping Wong in Marvel. No more popoffs leading to fist fights. It's all gone and will never return. The Ghost of Marvel was the finale of the true FGC which had already been waning with SF4 as corporate money started creeping in to sanitize it.

The Justin Wong thumb sign had more legacy then moment 37 to be fair

>>713962167
Sony would never allow such things to happen at their events

>>713962608
lol

>>713953021 (OP)
Pro tournaments are cool because best of the best autist duke it out but holy shit, actually cheering and acting like a retard over shit happening in a game is the most pathetic shit ever. A lot of humans need to be killed.

>>713962608
Reversal

Relive PUBG history with "The Bridge" Expierence. Players can attempt to cross the bridge themselves in a re-creation of the original match.

>>713953973
It was a pretty fantastic moment. Lots of other games have moments that are kind of mind blowing.

A classic

>>713963031
Most 09ers only experienced the fading light of the real FGC. I didn't live in NYC or SoCal so I never got it either during the 2000s. I had to read about shit like Josh Wigfall getting drive by'd or Sanford bitch fits on SRK after the fact. I remember how big a deal it was when Sanford beat Wong at Breakpoint. People really forget or don't know how fucking good Wong was back then. Fucking 3 year undefeated streak.

man's got a family to feed, he needs those youtube shill bucks

>>713962167
so fucking kino

>>713964541
KoF should go back to this.

I don't play fighting games, nor care for them, but I always wondered...did nobody know about that parry technique? Or was it just like incredibly difficult to pull off in a real match? I watched the original video, and everyone shit their pants when he pulled it off, so it's almost like nobody apparently knew it was possible to do that or had never seen it successful performed?

>>713958027
The other half of his personality was filtering people from the MVC collection, which just seems so fucking retarded. Yeah, push away people who might be trying the series for the first time and then wonder why it has a low playercount, Capcom isn't doing shit anymore, and Marvel ran to ArcSys.

>>713964830
Parrying is an important mechanic, what was impressive was the combination that
>He was one hit away from health, so failing a single one of the parries means he loses
>He parried EVERY single hit of the super
>He then was able to combo into a killing blow

>this thread
Can someone explain to me why its called rule 34? Why did they decide to make it rule 34 and not any other number?

>>713965001
So it was just a really, really difficult thing to pull off especially in the heat of the moment? And I'm assuming that Super was really hard to parry since it hits multiple times?

>>713964931
To be fair, that was initially put upon by him by twitter fgc. He was just playing random and low tier teams. Though he did run with it by the time of cvs2.

>>713963450
>comprende
No wonder he avoided it.

>>713964830
A beginner can parry supers in 3S without much practice, it's more that JWong used his to end the match instead of running out the clock. He expected Daigo to either block it and take chip damage to die, or have to parry it which while easier said than done is not impossible. Especially Chun-Li's second super, she's the best character in the game so Daigo had probably practiced parrying it a million times. The hardest thing Daigo does is hit confirm (kick) into his own super after parrying to kill JWong

>>713964830
>Or was it just like incredibly difficult to pull off in a real match?

Yeah, players weren't as crazy back then as they are now. Look at the shit they were doing years after that moment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGPk6hiEmHg

>>713965182
Yes, and yes.

>>713964830
Gonna be that guy and say any pro taking the gaming seriously probably practiced parrying one of the most commonly picked top tier's super(blocking is something that can happen quite often do to missed hit confirms.) There are other supers that are way harder to parry, but it just was a do or die situation and it also led to a victory, so it made it more impressive.

>>713965320
3S Chun-Li is just retarded

>>713953021 (OP)
If everyone is daigo parry, no one will be i guess

>>713953021 (OP)
Still the greatest 3rd Strike match:

Full vid of your gif, if anyone wants to see it.

>>713960914
You literally had to be there. Before it happened, the general consensus was that parrying Chun-Li’s super was incredibly difficult if not outright impossible.

>>713964931
Marvel vs. Guilty Gear is probably next after Tokon

OH NO

>>713964394
Correct that bitch

>>713967137
not gonna happen
japs are gonna bitch if they find out, and EVERYONE kneels to the japs

>>713960914
I agree, preventing evo moment 37 would do good to more than just the FGC

what is wrong with fighting game players?

>>713967236
Most fighting game players I know are neets, work in deadend jobs or are black

>>713960914
others have gone back and tried but daigo parried them every time

>>713955582
>At least mention the Hugo moment from last Evo or something
It's always really gay to me when people call it moment 38 when the entire point is that it's just a random number.

Don't worry, Arcsys is their new best friend.
