Sick new sponsor JM! keep up the grind buddy!
This game actually looks pretty neat.
Props for stalling long enough for moment 37 to run in the background.
XD
When I'm down to "last hit" I can literally feel the endorphins hit my brain and I start to play differently. I wish I could play like my "last hit" self during the entirety of a match. It's definitely an endorphin release that does it.
Sometimes taking damage is the correct thing to do, depending on the game. Like the old kof games, wakeup backdash would mean if you did get hit, you'd air-reset. Or in marvel, you can tag into a projectile and not eat a full combo. When you're 1 hit away you obviously can't do this, and you also have to take bigger risks to avoid things like chip-death.
I have the same feeling, only with great matches. I've found when we're both in the low health situations I tend to perform better than my opponent I just don't crack
@@TravisMartin-qm4huwish I was like that lol I absolutely lose it when I get pressured so hard I literally can't press a button anymore
For me I think of it as me popping level 3 X factor. Mentally locking in. Usually kicks in after my last guy is 25 or less %
Magic Pixel mode activates in my head. It’s my stand power at this point lol.
Snake is just on another level still doing crazy stuff to this day
Not sure how much smash/melee you pay attention to but Evo 2016 GFs and Smash Summit 11 GFs come to mind as legendary comebacks at the biggest stage (both end up going to game 10)
Yeah smash summit 11 grand finals was absolutely insane. In the end coming down to a single frame deciding the whole thing.
I was gonna say it’s a crime that summit 11 isn’t on here. Winning Two games on FD as Fox against the greatest marth that hasn’t lost a set to a fox in 2 years, let alone lost a game on FD in who knows how long. Truly up there with the rest of these, even surpassing some.
Except Smash is not a fighting game, I had a comeback playing Mario party.
@@DioDCynic nice bait. very original.
He said “fighting game history” my man
My favorite comeback has to be Reynald vs Jonathan Tene at the 2020 DBFZ National Championship. Reynald was up 4-1 and needed one hit to win the tourney but tried to style on Jonathan by hitting Roshi's command grab to kill. He whiffed, and Jonathan proceeded to not only win the match, tied the score and then WON the final match of the tournament (with a rage quit from Reynald). Best comeback can also be the worst choke

Damn I need to go look that one up now
@@ellis7622 same
Seeing that Snake Eyez video back in the day really made me fall back in love with fighting games and made me start following them again.
Yep, same here
I remember watching the Snake Eyez comeback when it happened. I still think it's probably the most impressive comeback I've seen. On a side note, it's weird being nostalgic for SF4. Maybe it's because I got into fighting games properly around the end of AE2012 and the start of Ultra but it feels like yesterday and forever ago at the same time.
I was there for the Sleep comeback, and the room was absolutely exploding. They had the subs turned up to a million so that every hit shook the whole room. It was awesome.
Can I suggest Evo 2014 BlazBlue Grand Finals? Dogura has the event won multiple times, yet Garireo manages to hold on and turn it around EVERY time. It’s crazy, and was edge of the seat excitement the whole time!
Blaz blue not a real game.
@@CharlieVictor212 Yeah, Blaz blue isn't, you're right.
It's Blazblue.
I come back to that Leffen GO1 at least once a year if anything just to hear Yipes' screams
i love JM's hype even for matches that are like a decade old, this video is fun as hell lol
@jmcrofts The Wong 1 pixel Cable comeback vs Desmon "The Xecutioner" is still the best comeback I have ever seen in a fighting game.
It eclipses Justin Wong's Cyclops' comeback easily and Justin had to play absolutely perfect to win due to having 1 pixel of health vs 3 characters, especially vs Storm w/ meter and hail.
You should do a deep dive analysis on the intricacies of Justin's neutral in that match. Absolutely insane.
evo 37 moment daigo parry is so great that it doesn't need mentioning anymore in any comeback countdowns/lists
Justin's 1 pixel comeback on Executioner in MvC2 is one of my favorites.
Worth noting that @11:34, the c.HP from Psylocke onto Cyclops was unblockable. Canceling Gene Splice into Super Optic Blast like that puts you into normal jump state (where you're limited to one action) and the super itself was the one action so Cyclops literally could not block that attack.
I think the blazblue grandfinals garireo vs Dogura at EVO 2014 was incredible by Garireo having to reset the braket and sent to losers by Dogura
Putting out some great vids, I love how well you point out the not-so-obvious little moments. Keep it up dude
What a fun video to watch man
Love your work
I’ve seen all of these comebacks already but you add so much to it
Keep up the good work ➡️⬇️↘️✊🏻
Hey jm just wanted to say ur upbeat and excited attitude in ur videos always makes my day and makes ur videos a good watch. Keep up the great content
My favorite comeback is snake eyez vs xian, when the timer was almost 0 and snake eyez did the impossible, legendary
Narrated so well Jmcrofts, awesome video!!!
Sort of surprised to not see 2014 EVO BBCP Galileo vs Dogura in there.
Same, that set is nothing short of legendary. The commentator was spot on when he said “this is why we play fighting games.”
This was the match I instinctly thought of when I saw the title. That match was the most legendary comeback I think I have ever seen. Pure hype. The fact that it is not on jmcrofts list is nothing short of shocking.
@@Teslamuffin Absolutely. A new job prevented me from going to Evo that year, and I remember watching from my couch. I had never really seen BB before, but I was losing my mind for the entire set. When the finals ended, I hopped right on to my playstation within and bought the game.
What makes that set so insane is Galileo makes a comeback twice. He reset the bracket and then nearly lost again. It was one of the most intense sets I've ever seen, and the way Galileo got the crowd on his side was amazing to see live.
@@XenoxionHe is not that into anime or 3d fighters is all.
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it
The jwong cable comeback against Xecutioner is a classic.
If they never nerfed Chun-li, I'm pretty sure Ricky would have taken the 5VS5.
By the way @jmcrofts too bad you don't cover much Tekken stuff. There is a guy named Kagemaru, who did the same thing like snake eyes during Tokyo Tekken Mastercup (its also a 5V5). And in the same event a group of Gigas mains (who is the lowest of the low tier) took down the best Korean group at that tourney.
Snake Eyez is probably the best player in the world.
Like an anime protag, he's only held back by self-imposed limits, such as using big bodies at all times.
If they buff Zangief to be A tier, Snake boutta dominate.
??? thats not how it works. The best in the world is the player with the best results, which is either Mena, Angry Bird, or Chris Wong.
@@beam5655 Sure, keep dreaming and making up conditions beyond skill.
@@XEndlessSteelX Snake Eyez is amazing with Gief, but that doesn't mean that if he switched to a top tier he would suddenly win every tournament. It just doesn't work that way. Even when Gief was strong in SF4, Snake Eyez still wasn't the best in the world.
And on top of that what about other players that have success with low tiers, like Endingwalker, Idom, or Problem X? How can you say Snake Eyez has more skill than them.
@@beam5655 How? By watching them. Simple.
And stop putting words into my mouth.
Alright, I’ve seen all of those happen live when they happened(Yes, I’m getting old…), and while Jmcroft tried his best to explain and show those- One key thing about this is missing….. The actual sound, crowd reaction, commentators going wild over the crazy comeback happening on stage! Imo, he should let it play in the background, or show it all, then explain “why” he thinks it’s in his top-5. ‘Cause folks, if you’ve never seen some of those Live/original with sound, it’s A LOT more hype and worth of being in a Top “X”.
To be fair, he did mention towards the end how important the commentary and crowd reaction is towards making a hype moment and he even played the commentary/crowd reactions from a few of them so let’s give credit where it’s due.
oh wow that snakeyes set- i havent thought about that in a hot minute
Niiice video!
I would've definitely loved to hear the audio of the gameplay and the commentary as well tho!
JM's love for the game and excitement for the clutchness and level of play is really awesome!
The embodiment of hype commentating about hype!
The cool thing to see about GO1 patience, which might also play into how he got his hit later: in this version of tge game Bardock lariat jails into vanish. He lands this and is 100% plus - but he chooses to dash block instead of push. Leffen after the vanish pressed 2l while minus.
Its a little bit after that where GO1 gets the hit after a blocked vanish again - might have been scoping Leffens responses earlier.
The second vanish is super scary though, GO1 was in a bad spot landing in front of Leffen and used vanish to get out which Leffen could have potentially anti aired and, as mentioned, it can cause vanish to lose its plus frames.
Crazy cool sequence to watch
Mr.Naps anchor clearing basically an entire team at ELEAGUE in Tekken 7. Dude is an absolute god, i hope we see him in tekken 8!
The 3rd strike player Tominaga has some really impressive Makoto comebacks. My favorite is at a more local tourney where he 1v5s a team as the last player
My all-time favorite comeback is the Combo Breaker 2022 Midwest vs. West Coast where Justakid ran back the entire thing and won 5 matches in a row.
I genuinely expected Snake Eyes vs Xian. I watched that live, it was insane. Xian was defending the Evo title that year.
I was at that SCR and remember going crazy when Snake Eyez won each match. Absolute beast. lol
I think the "Mastercup 9 Tekken 7 Fated Retribution 5v5 Grand Finals | Anti-Benkei Vs Team Yamasa" is one to mentioned. This comeback was epic, intense, and very hype.
Man you should have talked about the part when Snakeeyez had pixel health against Ricky Ortiz during number 2
11:43 - that double jump was GENIUS
Justin’s comeback against ChrisG in marvel 3 EVO 2014 is probably my fave that i watched live. that wolverine counter on incoming vergil was insane
The one where gagapa was 5-0 up and Infexious did the 6-5 comeback with Hugo was amazing too, hard to find though
That was wild
It’s 2023, Street Fighter 6, and Snake Eyes is looking better than ever.
GO1 managing to beat the odds is cool, but I have yo say that The 2 feels more like a 1 to me. Even if just the last fight was the only real challenge, it is still so cool Snake Eyez could keep his cool for all those matches to me, when I can barely keep it together for a full set.
my favourite will always be infiltration's clutch with hakan against pr balrog at evo 2013. that match got me into fighting games
AGREED!!!! Specially on the #1 pick. Seeing that moment live was unbelievable. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite is knowkami's goku black 3v1 comeback from Evo 2018 when he was facing Kubo. Man was basically one touch from death playing what was a mid tier character at best against a full team
That was great! Thanks
Man i would love it if you reviewed Justin wong vs too much damage UMVC3. Super hype come back
It’s always soothing when the algorithm shows your video
Snake Eyes reversal hype has never been recreated, that time of Street Fighter was the most hype/competitive/entertaining.
I don't know really what you're saying but I really liked this video because you tired to explain and you were excited so it in turn got me excited.
Least likely comeback: Snake Eyes’ hairline.
Videos like these are why you're one of the best content creators out there.
Daniel Mado vs Book Combo Breaker 2023 where Book brought it back in the final game, final round with three low parries
Jm, what do you think about the kof 13 evo grands where reynald was 2-0 about to get knocked out, and then he switched to nests kyo and and fought back woo and won the next 3 games, reset the bracket, then 3-0d again
Classic match!!!
Snake Eyes reverse ocv is how I saw him and been a fan ever since.
Snake eyes comeback was absolutely insane. You know how much mental resilience you need to sit there and do a gauntlet against the best players the region has to offer? Geez
You forgot about the Knowkami Goku Black 1 vs 3 Evo comeback
What’s also crazy about the Justin Wong MvC2 comeback is when Justin kills Megneto with the charge back cancel into super, he had just built exactly enough meter to pull the super.
Was this GO1 match the one where Yipes started saying “He set his character to ‘block everything’ “?
The Commentary on that Go1 v Leffen was OD. HELL POCKETS, YIPES & TASTY IN THE BACKGROUND.
Kagemaru coming back 1 v 5 with Josie in Master Cup is my favorite comeback ever. If you get a chance check it out! Thanks for all the great content!
JWong Vs Chris G in Evo Marvel grand finals will live in my memories forever. The thumbnail for the memory is wolverine's cr.M counterhitting Vergil's Helmbreaker on incoming.
I wanted to try that game but I spend my money on others games and I wanna try gran blue. Thanks sensei crofts, i will look forward for this game.
8:40 Just funny that it popped up. For me, that Gamefly logo takes me back. Gotta be a classic moment if they were sponsors.
😂 Zangief is such a hype character to watch just because he’s at such a disadvantage against a lot of characters that can keep him out.
For Snake to 1v5 all of them with Gief is literally having your cake and eating it too 😂 “Look at this body of Iron!!”
My favorite is Pepeday's comeback vs Poongko in Canada Cup 2014 USF4 Grand Finals. Very hype match.
had a pretty sick comeback against a ken player recently, too bad that wasnt in the video
My two greatest comebacks ever was on ultimate mortal Kombat 3 in a sports card shop called Grand slam in Loveland Colorado and they happened back to back! Both comebacks was versus the owner of the shop LOL, I was playing as Liu Kang versus robotic smoke and he had me nearly at a double flawless in round two but I came back and beat him even though he was invisible before I landed my first hit... I beat him in round 3 to complete the comeback so he kicked me off the machine and said I could never play again... So I get back in line to play him again LOL, I get back up and he chooses Shiva so I choose Liu Kang again... Same thing happened again!! He nearly had to double flawless in round two and tried to do Shiva head stomp so I just pushed the high punch button thinking the match was over but she clipped through me and the stomp never connected... He says "holy I've seen it all!" As I connect with Liu kang's 8 hit combo... He tries another head stomp and I push high punch again causing him to clip through me again so he says "holy I've seen it all again!!" As I connect with another 8 hit combo... I finish him off in round 3 completing the comeback and he literally never let me play on that machine ever again lol!! 😂
seeing that SFIV comeback brings me back.......gosh I really loved that game!
I think Snake_Eyez did a double reverse OCV if I'm remembering correctly and if not it's my favorite video of all time! I watch it at least once a month still.
GO1 vs. Leffen to this day is still legendary
Leffen vs Pepperysplash in his evo run in 2023 is up there, he was a pixel away from being sent to losers and potentially not winning his GGST Evo title off that set
I love your bromance with JW. So wholesome ❤️
I was today years old when I figured out that SPD stands for spinning pile driver.... Lol I don't know why I just assumed it was some Russian acronym like RPG. Which a lot of people have come to think means Rocket Propelled Grenade but is actually an acronym for Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot. I have never actually heard someone say spinning pile driver and clued in that that's what SPD and air SPD was meaning all these years xD
I ditched DBFZ on season 1 when I just couldn't deal with superdash spam (through lack of skill and annoyance) but damn this makes me want to pick it back up.
USF4 had some many comebacks
Go1 one was nuts. I lost all my nails streaming this live
Honda was going for walk up Command Grab, more than likely cancel of a button, slightly miss timed allows Snake Eyes to hit a brazen Wake Up SPD. That's my guess anyways, or he was baiting a Back Dash that he planned to option select. Imagine his shock when he was hit with wake up SPD!
Dbzf with a top 5 comeback with the rollback.
12:00 truely amazing gameplay and commentary
Love the knowkami kubo comeback from evo 2018
Really surprised to have not seen Superakouma vs Chikurin on here. Good list regardless though
Diagos perfect parry combo... is the most beautiful come back
After Sajam calling it out I can't stop laughing at "FOLKS"
Hungry box better be on here. Dude had come back after come back really clutching out a win at all costs.
Oh. We only doing MVC.
U should do king of fighters 13 combo trails seeing it was re-released not too long ago
Maybe not a single game come back, but ninjakilla212 coming from the losers bracket to beat both Chilean twins at 2022 evo was epic
Zangied spd isnt throw invincible like you say, it's just very hard to throw since its 2f startup, so you have a 1 frame window to throw it.
Surprised jwong's match against fchamp in umvc3 isn't in here when he had a comeback with akuma when fchamp used phoenix. The year jwong wins evo if I'm not mistaken.
Yea i hade a match like that in marvel vs capcom 2 my team was zero forget my second and X23 i get my first time two was so bad maby got a few hits and one combo as soon as X23 came in i was on it... brain running at 110 the X23 almost to fast and i some times feel like i cant press the bottons fast enough but im not dropping any combos down goes one finished with a super in comes the second and i know he cant keep up with me X23 to fast and i would like to say i got lucky but i knew what i was doing and everything i went for i got then super down goes his second out comes his therd and it was a bit harder and i droped one combo but i get him down low life and i do her super that makes her invisable akward few seconds go by and i press triangle that finishes the super by snapping the neck or dose somthing to the neck and everyone in the room that was watching my goes nuts asking me how you do that i said i dont know and i passed the controller not bileveing what just happend. i'm not a fighting game guy im a racer driving games are my fave but only gran toursimo was so good
to this day i still can't believe go1 vs leffen was just a ft2 set in top 48
Justin Wong had a lot from Marvel vs Capcom series where he only had one character left and won.
Kizzie like “You call it the greatest comeback, I call it the greatest choke in history.”
Something never talked about is Justin's Pixel Cable comeback
God damn I feel old, I remember all of these
What are the other evo moments 1-36? Or is evo moment 37just a name?
If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and watch the full video of Snakes reverse sweep. Unreal.
Does anyone know if wanted dead is good now, or if it has had any fixes? I heard that when it launched it was messy, so, is it better now?
While mine was just ranked online, I have a moment similar to your number one moment.
My favorite comeback is the Tekken 7 team tournament between Team Shadow and Team Cuddlecore where Jimmy J Tran brings it back for his whole team just like SnakeEyez did, even getting a revive to do it.
