Wasn't planning on watching a 36 minute Street fighter tournament video. but you chauffeured me through solidly with your commentary and it was beautiful.
I like and respect the incredible contrast: Justin, excitedly hyping shit up after every improbable victory; Daigo stoic and calm, with an impenetrable poker-face. Makes me think of Mugen and Jin from Samurai Champloo.
this is why people like him, like me I really learn his mental thinking while playing game, no need to be a cocky and an angry idiot whether u win or lose a game...just be a calm person, unlike that stupid Wong, I really hate people react like this, what's he doing go joy to the crowd? thought he definitely win?
In those days, Justin's talent was his mastery of multiple complex characters, able to swap them as needed to fit the opponent and situation, and use them more proficiently than other pros with their mains. But Daigo's talent was his grandmastery of one simple character, and could make that lone character feel like multiple complex opponents in the same match.
and it is interesting to see that 20 years after moment 37, Daigo start to enjoy all sorts of characters when doing SF6 online, Justin however stay with Chun-Li all the way to every tournament he joins, the most insane part is both of them are still top tier player, normally you don't get to be that good for that long, I guess these two just build a little differently with others. 😂
Scrubby players normally mash Dp when they are negative (during strings, wake up, or even meaty). "Ume-shoryu" is using Dp as a neutral tool. Both times he used it, he caught Justin pressing Fierce.
I love your usual dbfz content, but these best moments in fighting game history are by far my favorite videos. You just do such a good job at keeping my attention throughout the whole video. Great content, keep it coming!! Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!!
@@jim-mf3dv spark vs Lord Knight from blazblue was a great one. Or Mike Z's bottom tier Tager destroying those top tier NU13 players. Just a suggestion
Damn, Justin really put those stars and stripes on and tried his heart out to bring it home for America, but the beast stayed unbeatable. This is a match I've heard about but never given much thought but when you lay out the history and play out the drama like this beat by beat it ascends the match to new heights for all of us folks who weren't there to experience it live. Love these videos and how they enrich fighting game history.
Man.... I was a Daigo fanboy during this era but looking back, I really wish Justin won that set. I'm really glad you highlighted this for people who might not know of it. It is an incredible set both in gameplay and historic value, and poses the "What if....?" where, in a universe with no arcade release head start, would Justin have had enough to win this one at least?
I thought it was going to be the match of 'EVO moment 37' only to be surprised by this amazing match, amazing commentary! thank you for this video, i was massively entertained and huuuuuge respect to Justin for pushing Daigo to his limits all the way till the very end and win with the smallest of margins!!
As a 09er whos put fighting games on the back burner for parenthood, listening to your FGC history videos is really nostalgic. Youre great at bringing these moments back alive. Ive always thought you would make an excellent FGC commentator. Request: Cover the moneymatch between Clockw0rk and Golden Boy Neo around 9 years ago. The hype and build up was phenomenal. Not that anyone would have to pull your arm to talk about Marvel 2
@@gyrenrockz he's as Chinese as Balrog is African. What's your point, unless we have a native American playing everybody has a country of origin. Him being Chinese don't mean he isn't American...
@@gyrenrockz If J. Wong is an "American citizen, but actually Chinese" then every white American is an "American citizen, but actually European". Most Americans have European heritage, but that doesn't mean they're European. So just because Justin has Chinese heritage doesn't mean he's Chinese.
I don’t play fighting games, but I do play strategy games-I loved your concise explanation of the “big picture” strategies at play, helped me understand what was happening much better! Please more, thank you in advance!
I am one of those who never understood how video games could be considered a sport. I like sports, and I played fighting games like street fighter casually in arcades when I was young. But I had no idea how technical the games I played could be. Your explanations of what’s going on go a long way in helping me have such a good time with these videos and recognizing that yeah, games can be just as intense and technical as any sport. This match had me on the edge of my seat.
Ugh yes this series is back! Probably my favorite thing you do in them is explain, in non condescending ways, why certain moments or mechanics are important. As someone who enjoys watching but doesn't know how to play, it allows me to put myself in someones shoes (someone who knows all this stuff) and get just as hype. Keep it up sir. This was a great Christmas gift. Happy holidays!
I love it when you do these feature match breakdowns with context. These are 100% my favorite videos from you. Keep it up man, your knowledge and passion for the genre come out so much while delivering expert info and hype moments is just too good a combo not to watch. A must-click every time.
This match in 2009 was my first intro to the fighting game community, from a recommendation by UA-cam. I'd say I became an obsessive fan of fighting games from that point on. Thanks for letting me relive this with fresh commentary.
The thing about Daigo and Justin is, Justin has the Wong factor when he falls behind, but.......... Daigo has Beast mode, which allows him to download and adapt faster if the matches goes way to long, and because Justin had to use his Wong factor early, Daigo, just adapted with Beast mode before Justin can win.
I don't know anything about SF but the way you explain the intricate tech makes the video much more enjoyable to watch. Thank you for the excellent commentary and sharing something that I would normally not watch.
High quality video here pal, you did a great job of telling the story and delivering something for people all along the spectrum of SF4 familiarity to pick up on.
I’m happy I got to see this for the first time with you narrating the match, your knowledge and experience is really insightful. Thanks for making this match new to me. 👍
I got a bit late into fighting games but seeing these moments is always a pleasure, in combination with the explanation its a good view into all Fighting games. Especially with the interview of Justin Wong adds a nice touch!
All of JMCrofts content is fuego but this series of FGC History is top tier! These breakdown analyses where he explains the intricate details and narrative so wonderfully are why Crofts is the best FGC content creator on UA-cam, FREE Can’t wait to see more hopefully sooner!
Watching this in anticipation of EVO2022 in a couple hours, but... Justin going to Balrog felt like the REAL "USA vs Japan" match had begun. You could feel it in the air of the crowd with their "USA" chants in tow as Justin literally puts an entire country on his back. The symbolism of such a sight is one of the things that makes this EVO GF incredibly memorable. Even to this day, America had not won SF4 on the world stage of EVO. They haven't done it for SF5... yet (go iDom!). In fact, the last time USA took home 1st place in Street Fighter... was over 10 years ago.

Excellent choice for the greatest of all time. Its ironic that we both feel that way, because its literally the first Evolution I saw them both at. I already was a huge fan of Daigo as he embodied my main Ryu Perfectly in my eyes. Justin however was new for me here and it was here that I began to learn the Legend that he was. I was salty when he beat my guy Mike Ross haha . Felt damn good when was "avenged" by Daigo *my own story line * haha. Much appreciated for bringing the greatness of these finals back to the surface. Props my guy✊🏿
Excellent video. I really enjoyed it. I've been a fan for a long time, and it's been a real pleasure to see your career and channel grow. I credit you and Dotodoya for keeping me motivated and interested in DBFZ. Keep it up!
really love this content. love how you explain the details on what each players do. pro players might be able to decipher the moves, but for newbies or non-players like me, we don't really know what is going on. and thank you for explaining what DP FADC is; really learned a lot. Please make more of these kind of content. Thanks!
my favorite of all time is Lil Majin vs JDCR in Tekken 7 EVO 2018. Lil Majin being the only American player to make into the finals playing against JDCR a dominant player was fantastic. Also the power of the crowd, shouting Lil Majin's name just gave his match so much more hype behind it.
Dang this may be your best video yet. I have always been a fan since your FighterZ videos started (and still excitedly keep up with those) but this Fighting Game History content is next level. Such a good watch. Also, incredible job successfully incorporating the star Justin Wong himself, truly the icing on the cake
I’m so happy I came across your channel man. Honestly you’re the only reason I gave street fighter a chance after watching diagos classic parry. Love the content man please keep it up
I remember watching this happening live on the stream, this was one hype finals! It's always epic seeing these two legends battling out with each other. I also miss watching SF4 matches, imo much more fun game to play and watch than SFV.
My favorite finals was KOF13 2013 Reynald vs Woo, with Reynald in losers going down 0-2, then winning 6 in a row. The biggest momentum shift of all time for sure.
Awesome! Yes, just such an amazing video. It was almost as exciting as watching the real thing and your commentary over it as well as your keen eye on both player's decision's is immaculate and on point.
Glad this popped up on the recommendation video. Had no idea there was so much history in video game tournaments. Will keep an eye on your channel. thanks
The mind game are epic. 2nd set, tied 1-1, Daigo did multiple dashes to chase Justin, tried to bait a super but ate the Balrog super but still left Justin with no meters and stole that round. Godlike.
Again, LOVE these FGC commentary and you breaking the nuances of the matches and the techniques down. Keep up the good work and looking forward to these whenever you have time to churn them out.
Please make more of these episodes, truly enjoy them. ty Edit: check the match between daigo and Alex, the one in Seth's stages you know which one im talking about. OR the one between Justin and Air.
Man such a good set, only a few evo finals compare, though Melee's Armada vs Hungrybox is very good too (I really would love it if you could cover that set, the history of that game is crazy)
Oh snap, I remember watching this live! I barely knew anything about fighting games outside of a select few titles I'd played mostly solo, plus I had zero knowledge of the FGC or who the players were. Even still, I understood this was a "US vs. JP" grand final and was rooting for Justin the whole time. Didn't get the outcome many wanted, but I was still really hyped about the whole fight. Thanks for making this video, it was fascinating to see this replay with both your commentary and my current (much better) knowledge of the genre.
Justin used his special ability " Lame it out." "Lame it out allows Justin to play completely safe punishing his opponent and allows them come to him. Lame it second ability activates when his opponent gets into the corner. "

I wish more people would do this. The old games had so many good moments!
Can't agree more. Check out blaz blue 2014 moments.
Sorry was 2014 not 13. My bad
True
i agree, he should do more
13:15 The crowd were chanting "Let's go Justin!"
He was doomed to lose from that point.
People need to stop saying that when Justin plays it’s become a self fulfilling prophecy
@@leoalcaraz6153 Legends say, Mr.Wong is still traumatized to this day. After the great Daigo wars.
It like they are cursing him.
i wonder if they were doing that on purpose
Wasn't planning on watching a 36 minute Street fighter tournament video. but you chauffeured me through solidly with your commentary and it was beautiful.
Dude i just realized it was a 36 minute video wtf
Same to me 😆
It felt like a 5 min video
Dude the way he hypes parts of the game without even being hyperactive is talent.
Right
I like how Daigo seems so calm and respectful even with everyone against him.
I like and respect the incredible contrast: Justin, excitedly hyping shit up after every improbable victory; Daigo stoic and calm, with an impenetrable poker-face. Makes me think of Mugen and Jin from Samurai Champloo.
Pretty easy when you're a living legend and have literally nothing to prove.
Will you care if the world is against you and you already know you’re going to win?
this is why people like him, like me I really learn his mental thinking while playing game, no need to be a cocky and an angry idiot whether u win or lose a game...just be a calm person, unlike that stupid Wong, I really hate people react like this, what's he doing go joy to the crowd? thought he definitely win?
You act like there was something he could do. He had no choice...
In those days, Justin's talent was his mastery of multiple complex characters, able to swap them as needed to fit the opponent and situation, and use them more proficiently than other pros with their mains.
But Daigo's talent was his grandmastery of one simple character, and could make that lone character feel like multiple complex opponents in the same match.
and it is interesting to see that 20 years after moment 37, Daigo start to enjoy all sorts of characters when doing SF6 online, Justin however stay with Chun-Li all the way to every tournament he joins, the most insane part is both of them are still top tier player, normally you don't get to be that good for that long, I guess these two just build a little differently with others. 😂

My favorite finals was KOF13 2013 Reynald vs Woo, with Reynald in losers going down 0-2, then winning 6 in a row. The biggest momentum shift of all time for sure.
Favourite evo moment for many. Bala vs madkof a year ago was not bad either
KoF13 was the absolute shit, reallly upset that 14 never seemed to hit the same heights. Here's hoping 15 brings the heat.
Yeah man that and Evo 2012 Grand Final b/w Bala and MadKof was also an amazing match one of the best Evo Grand Finals.
All Reynald did was pick Ex-Kyo and then he went into UI mode once Goodbye Esaka started playing in the background.
KBR vs Fchamp in winter brawls was a bigger momentum shift imo
i usually hate street fighter since i cant play well but you have made me want to play it again keep doing this great work
