Perhaps you've heard of the Evolution 2009, the World Championship Tournament in fighting games like Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter II HD Remix, Soul Calibur IV and Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. And because I play Street Fighter often myself I know that magic that this game has to offer. It's not button mashing here, it's pure skill and strategy. And because of this I am very impressed by the final match in Street Fighter IV. It's Daigo's Ryu (Daigo is known as the best Ken player of the world) against Wong's Balrog. And even when Daigo took the title in the end the super finisher Wong threw at 3:15 (first vid) was so epic I don't get over it. But have a look for yourselves!
In perhaps the closest final matchup in Evolution history, Daigo Umehara’s Ryu defeated Justin Wong’s Balrog 2-3, 3-2, to take the Evo 2009 Street Fighter IV title. After some early struggles, Justin surprised everyone by switching to Balrog. The move paid off, as Justin was able to win the first set of the finals, avenging his earlier loss to Daigo in the tournament. The final set of the match came down to the final game. In the end Daigo’s strong positional play allowed him to squeek by and take the title.
