Liquid Hungrybox. It was here that he finally ran out of road, being defeated in an absolute nail-biter. Filipino Champ was actually on Match Point to win on two separate occasions during the matchup, only for Tokido to steal it away. Chun-Li is still a good character, but has lost a few useful tools such as instant- air Lightning Legs.

We look forward to seeing more of Itabashi in further events this year, and with his 4th place finish at EVO he is assured to be at Capcom Cup in December. This was accomplished while focusing on big events outside of the Capcom Pro Tour. In Grand Finals Punk went , After the loss Punk was visibly shaken, being unaccustomed to defeat until now.

If you're new to EVO or Fighting Games at a competitive level, on Friday and Saturday you should try The Jump Off - a special show found on the EVO5 channel that jumps between all the main stage games at EVO, putting commentator teams together who can break down the games and explain what makes them special.

Two people going at it. Life bars. Fighting games were bred and built for competition in arcades, where two people would stand as little as inches apart and duke it out.
