No matter what fighting game it is, there’s probably at least one crazy or hype moment, tournament or set that took place at Evo because that’s where the real magic can happen.
The new Evo Events channel recently released their first volume of the best combos from throughout Evo’s history going back over 20 years.
In fact, they start out with Evo 2003 in the set between Daigo Umehara and KO where The Beast would watch his health melt away from Yun’s Genei Jin as the crowd chants along.
There’s also of course some classics like FAV|Sako’s Evil Ryu links, Rohto|Tokido’s taunt combo on FLY|Punk, and some more that are remembered for being comical like DR Ray blowing himself up with Deadpool’s teleport misfire against Mike Ross in vanilla Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
We get to see the likes of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, The King of Fighters 13, Street Fighter 4, Super Smash Bros. Melee, early Tekken 7, Street Fighter 5, Dragon Ball FighterZ and of course, the 132-hit infinite in Fist of the North Star.
