Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics received near universal praise upon its release, though many playing found that the online servers across multiple platforms were being tormented by a player known as the “Wazzler.” He was beating people so badly that they were apparently refunding the game afterwards.
It turns out that the Wazzler was Justin Wong all along. Needless to say, not too many people are able to say that they took the Wazzler down during their fateful encounter with him even when he’s playing low tier characters. Indeed, having even just one win over Justin Wong would be a massive accomplishment for just about any player.
One player almost managed to win against Wazzler, but a silly decision at the very end costed him this great honor. This is essentially a “What are you standing up for?” type of moment, but during a session of Marvel vs. Capcom 2’s online.
Wazzler was down to just using Sakura and the Silver Samurai. Both combatants were just barely hanging on in terms of their remaining life totals. The opponent, however, still had a healthy Sentinel, Cyclops, and Storm with just 31 seconds remaining in the match up.
This player ended up calling Storm at just the wrong time, giving Wazzler an opportunity to take her out with a hyper. This worked out well since Storm’s stamina was at its lowest of the opponent’s three characters, but Cyclops and Sentinel both still had over half their health bars remaining.
Wazzler opted to save Sakura from getting chipped out by calling in the Silver Samurai as the opponent attempted to play for the timer. Things were looking bad for the multi Evo champion, but a couple of openings afterwards against Sentinel brought the other player down to just Cyclops.
By this point, the Cyclops player was confident that he could just win through a timeout since Cyclops had more remaining health than Sakura and the Silver Samurai combined. As a result, he just kept running away until the timer hit zero.
Satisfied with his victory, the opponent apparently stood up and forfeited his defense. This gave Wazzler the one chance he needed to close the gap.

Never give up
This is also funny cause the guy admitted he stood up cause he thought he had the win
