I can honestly say this was the best match of EVO 2013. Every other fight from every other game was very good, but for me, this takes the cake. This whole match should be an official EVO Moment.
Totally agree. I still can't believe the run Wong went on. When he came back on Chris G I was thinking "This dude literally just saved Marvel". And then he goes on to make the tourney HYPE as hell. So awesome dude.
Dude I was there, and even though I wasn't watching the smash finals the chant for "One more year!" at the end was so loud you could hear it anywhere in the area. There was a big crowd watching every game.
but.. are u trying to argue that lag affects morrigan just as much as it affects wolverine...? i dont like chris g but to be fair. you could do wolverine combos on PSN while on wifi if u wanted. the execution for morrigan combos are harder imo.
That last fight was so fitting. after all the Morrigan keep away, to be timed out. it is also kinda cool how it would have been a unique quote with vergil and akuma "NOW YOU HAVE WITNESSED WHAT A TRUE DEMON CAN DO"
I was actually going for chris at the end only because I like Vergil better than Akuma. But im glad Justin won. This is an example to show that playing cheap doesn't mean you will always win especially when it comes to such a grand stage like this.When all these factors are present people body and mind tend to become really powerful and they become capable of doing the impossible.
It isn't Capcom's fault dude - I don't know the specifics, but it comes down to rights management, they aren't the sole rights holder for the mvc series because of the deal made to secure the content, so they can't just patch it any time they want like they can with SF4 which they DO own 100%.
Yep, it all depends on the matchup. Look at something like Zangief v Sakura in SF4 for example - Sakura usually wants to go in hard because she does so much damage up close, but because she's playing against 'gief she has to change her gameplan simply because of the danger of his 2 frame command grabs.
Hmmmm, I know Chris was playing patient by the end of that last match with vergil but he was playing WAY patient for a vergil that has two bars... you think chris threw the match? Idk, im probably over-thinking this...
I'm a Melee player first and foremost, but outside of that, J Wong's tear through Marvel top 8 was BY FAR the hypest shit at Evo this year, hands down.
My point was Chris can figure out what works the best for him at any game, that's part of being a great player. There are other people who use Chris's team or Morrigan but they don't make it as far as him cause he knows the game more than they do. It is why he was the only Morrigan in top 8, so it's not just the team it's him.
8:05 So Yipes is rooting for Justin, and tries to hype him up by yelling "Let's Go Justin!"... a line that is synonymous with EVO Moment 37 in which Justin, in fact, lost. #YipesLogic
I sorta agree w/ most of what you said besides a few things. ChrisG doesn't have a horrible attitude, he just doesn't have the right composure when he loses. Champ can definitely come off as a douche, but everything needs a villain. Justin hasn't grown over the years, he's still the same player he was in the past, he's a Showman. When he celebrated back in 09 it was bad, but now since he hasn't "won" as much he's become a favorite. I've never disliked Justin though, dude was always legit.
I've realized that my favorite characters in fighting games are always considered "lame" in the FGC. I used Phoenix before I even knew she could transform. I also loved Morrigan since Darkstalkers and loved her mobility and mix-up options, then she was exposed for her zoning.
this... and i cant believe im gonna say it... definitely up there up evo moment 37. not better but it definitely is amazing. this the closest we will get to that feeling. i was so hype and behind justin all the way after that.
goddamn hidden missiles are complete bullshit how does capcom make drones disappear when sentinel gets hit (which is fair) but not doom? wtf were they thinking
I couldn't agree more. That's a Competitors mentality, if you really don't care, then you'll never be frustrated or angry at a loss. However here it's about Winning, Nothing else matters.
THIS is my number 1 Evo 2013 moment bar none. Always been a huge Justin fan the guy just plays so damn good in every game and to see him KNOCK OUT Chris G with a 3 game win streak blew my fuckin mind. Seriously sucks for Chris man the dude wins almost every tournament then drops the ball where it counts.
This was my 1st time watching evo event!! This match was my favorite for marvel. Im always rooting for chris g and justin wong!!!Very entertaining and pro gamers! Amazing comeback by MR.WONG aka"IN LOGAN WE TRUST"lol
Yeah, but this is still amazing for the sheer fact that almost NO ONE could defeat Chris G (well, almost, he is in Losers, so he had to have been taken down at some point). But just that weight alone made this oh so much better.
That is unfair to say really since that's his main team now the team he puts all his time into. He also won a few tournaments with ryu. I made an assumption because of what you said and how you said it. If that's not the reason then I would like to know why you think Justin is undoubtedly better.
Looks like a Standing M into Slash. The trick is you have to time the Standing M as a meaty against Vergil when he's coming in to beat his incoming normals (you'd lose to super though)
Not really. Chris's team doesn't rely TOO much on keep-away. yes, his main strat is keep-away lockdown, but he switches from keepaway to counterattack rushdown in a split second real quick, which all other Morrigan players lack. It just that in Wolverine vs Morrigan match-up, Morrigan is forced to play keepaway as Wolverine have too much advantage at close range.
I was screaming inside my house, did anyone else do the same? Congrats to Justin Wong on beating Chris G and for coming 1 game short of winning it. Flocker and Justin Wong both deserved to win Evo just as much as Xian and Tokido did for Super SFIV. Pity only one of them could win, but still, Justin Wong eliminates Chris G, Flocker wins Marvel, Xian wins Super SFIV with Gen. Can you seriously get any more hyped then this? This evo was amazing unlike last year's boring Top 8 in SFIV.
LOL by the time sf4 finals were finishing it was like 1am on the EC, by the time marvel and sf4 came on, most people around the world went to sleep. The fact 100 people were watching at that time is amazing honestly. Smash was hype as hell, but its really not fair to compare the view count due to time slots.
Does anyone here still remember CEO 2011? It was a losers Finals. ChrisG lost also that match by timeout. lol Seems like every ChrisG vs. Justin match was HYPE!!
Not at all suprising that Justin is able to pull of an upset, but I don't expect it to be this close! Tough luck for ChrisG. It's frustrating to see this awful matchup but Justin has shown that he can still do marvels with his old team. This won't be the last time he does it and I doubt he will ever leave Storm.
Lol, I find it hard to believe that people are still considering Chris G's Morrigan spamming soul fists. Chris G has evolved way past that level of spamming, every soul fist he does is for a specific reason, whether it be to get in, or to keep him out. Like his tactic or not, Chris G is dominant because he figured our Morrigan's full potential as a character, offensively and defensively.
It's always interesting that the most boring character (Morirgan) and the most boring player (Chris G) lead to the hypest matches. A lot of iconic matches in these games have Chris G's name in it.
People who weren't at EVO themselves shouldn't talk out of their asses. People loved Melee at EVO, and boo'd Injustice pretty hard. Marvel was by far the most hype though.
Greatest match of UMvC3 of all time? I think so
I agree
champ vs chris g evo 2012 was as much exciting as this
This was the best live match I've ever seen. After years of watching Justin archives it's great to see the Wong factor in person.
Justin is just amazing, using a basically low tier team against the king of spam and winning
I can honestly say this was the best match of EVO 2013. Every other fight from every other game was very good, but for me, this takes the cake. This whole match should be an official EVO Moment.
Thanks. Guess that fits given that JWong lost to him in finals. Does anyone know where I can find Flocker vs ChrisG from evo2013?
Can someone explain what happens at the end of match 2-2 with wolverine beating helmbreaker? What move is he using? H into Slash?
Totally agree. I still can't believe the run Wong went on. When he came back on Chris G I was thinking "This dude literally just saved Marvel". And then he goes on to make the tourney HYPE as hell. So awesome dude.
I saw this live I had to watch it again. I was on the edge of my sit. Pure hype!
Doesn any one know of a play where I can watch the full top 8? And hopefully in better quality!
Dude I was there, and even though I wasn't watching the smash finals the chant for "One more year!" at the end was so loud you could hear it anywhere in the area. There was a big crowd watching every game.
Without a doubt, one of the best matches I've seen this year, including the match match against F locker. Well played J. Wong
where did chris get those glasses, what are they called if anyone knows
The entire story of Justin Wong at EVO this year was just insane. Damn, that was awesome.
but.. are u trying to argue that lag affects morrigan just as much as it affects wolverine...? i dont like chris g but to be fair. you could do wolverine combos on PSN while on wifi if u wanted. the execution for morrigan combos are harder imo.
Will the whole umvc3 top 8 be on a video.
Who was Justin hugging at the end of the match?
this was the game of evo this past year. one of the most exiting things i've ever seen
That last fight was so fitting. after all the Morrigan keep away, to be timed out. it is also kinda cool how it would have been a unique quote with vergil and akuma "NOW YOU HAVE WITNESSED WHAT A TRUE DEMON CAN DO"
Who's list are we talking about here?
By original do you mean vergil and doom?
first time watching evo live and it was so amazingggggg
This is the Hypest match of marvel that I've ever witnessed! Evo is anyone's for the taking now! What an amazing performance by Justin Wong!
is christ g hispanic mx or pr?
I was actually going for chris at the end only because I like Vergil better than Akuma. But im glad Justin won. This is an example to show that playing cheap doesn't mean you will always win especially when it comes to such a grand stage like this.When all these factors are present people body and mind tend to become really powerful and they become capable of doing the impossible.

The HYPEST timeout I've ever watched!!
Hmmmm, I know Chris was playing patient by the end of that last match with vergil but he was playing WAY patient for a vergil that has two bars... you think chris threw the match? Idk, im probably over-thinking this...
What's more ironic is that Justin Wong was once the hype killer in Mvc2, yet brought the hype here.
I'm a Melee player first and foremost, but outside of that, J Wong's tear through Marvel top 8 was BY FAR the hypest shit at Evo this year, hands down.
@Mattforce360
YOU don't know about the Third Eye and the Chakras.
Wow... i am above thirty years old and umvc3@ EVO gives me goosebumbs and watery eyes, am i the only one? hahaha cheers to all players!
My point was Chris can figure out what works the best for him at any game, that's part of being a great player. There are other people who use Chris's team or Morrigan but they don't make it as far as him cause he knows the game more than they do.

8:05
So Yipes is rooting for Justin, and tries to hype him up by yelling "Let's Go Justin!"... a line that is synonymous with EVO Moment 37 in which Justin, in fact, lost.
#YipesLogic
I've never been so excited for a game EVER
I sorta agree w/ most of what you said besides a few things. ChrisG doesn't have a horrible attitude, he just doesn't have the right composure when he loses. Champ can definitely come off as a douche, but everything needs a villain. Justin hasn't grown over the years, he's still the same player he was in the past, he's a Showman.

It was Windzero . there are a few Videos here on YT :)
Justin Wong still gives inspiration to the FGC, thank you for making it LOOK like Mor/Doom is beatable
I've realized that my favorite characters in fighting games are always considered "lame" in the FGC. I used Phoenix before I even knew she could transform. I also loved Morrigan since Darkstalkers and loved her mobility and mix-up options, then she was exposed for her zoning.
this... and i cant believe im gonna say it... definitely up there up evo moment 37. not better but it definitely is amazing. this the closest we will get to that feeling. i was so hype and behind justin all the way after that.
If Justin won Grand Finals, this would've been one of the MOST LEGENDARY EVO'S!!!! But at the end of the day, Justin Wong won everyone's heart!!!
goddamn hidden missiles are complete bullshit how does capcom make drones disappear when sentinel gets hit (which is fair) but not doom? wtf were they thinking
I couldn't agree more. That's a Competitors mentality, if you really don't care, then you'll never be frustrated or angry at a loss. However here it's about Winning, Nothing else matters.
Wouldn't get as far? Is that why gets top 8 at almost every fighter he plays and was getting far with his ryu team?
WE JUST GOT A REAL MATCH!!! LETS GO!!! LETS GO!!!
Wow. That is one of the best matches I have ever seen. It sucked that he got second place in the Grand Finals.
who put chris g in loooosers?it wasnt flocker
When someday Fighting game hall of fame is founded, Justin Wong will be a first ballot HOFer. He is a fucking living legend man.
This match definitely brought tears to my eyes.
Actually go watch it on spookys channel hes got everything in 720p
Infinite combos...why are they still in the game? I get they aren't the most practical but why not patch them out?
THIS is my number 1 Evo 2013 moment bar none. Always been a huge Justin fan the guy just plays so damn good in every game and to see him KNOCK OUT Chris G with a 3 game win streak blew my fuckin mind. Seriously sucks for Chris man the dude wins almost every tournament then drops the ball where it counts.
This was my 1st time watching evo event!! This match was my favorite for marvel. Im always rooting for chris g and justin wong!!!Very entertaining and pro gamers! Amazing comeback by MR.WONG aka"IN LOGAN WE TRUST"lol
If this EVO gets summarized in one match, this is it.
Yeah, but this is still amazing for the sheer fact that almost NO ONE could defeat Chris G (well, almost, he is in Losers, so he had to have been taken down at some point). But just that weight alone made this oh so much better.
Jwong has always been my favorite marvel player, and fg player in general. I nearly screamed myself hoarse during his matches in top 8
What is EVO without Justin Wong...
I'm not a big UMVC3 fan, but MAN!!! This was an awesome match.
Such a shame Justin didn't end up winning EVO. It would have been the greatest stretch to a championship!
That is unfair to say really since that's his main team now the team he puts all his time into. He also won a few tournaments with ryu.
I made an assumption because of what you said and how you said it. If that's not the reason then I would like to know why you think Justin is undoubtedly better.
Wow Chris G's team is so amazing! Such a crazy good lockdown game. And I thought Ghost Rider's chain was hard to get past!
10:20 the way Yipes says "Jus-ten wahng" I laugh everytime
you know whats hilarious? chris g previously used akuma as an anchor before switching to vergil, even before morrigan/doom
Looks like a Standing M into Slash. The trick is you have to time the Standing M as a meaty against Vergil when he's coming in to beat his incoming normals (you'd lose to super though)
Spam much with morrigan?
Wasn't flocker it was windzero
Please can somebody tell me why people hate Chris G.. Seriously..
OMFG. JUSTIN WONG. HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDEEE I WAS SO HYPE WATCHING THIS!
Not really. Chris's team doesn't rely TOO much on keep-away. yes, his main strat is keep-away lockdown, but he switches from keepaway to counterattack rushdown in a split second real quick, which all other Morrigan players lack. It just that in Wolverine vs Morrigan match-up, Morrigan is forced to play keepaway as Wolverine have too much advantage at close range.
actually there is a VERY SLIGHT Input lag capcom did not fix on the ps3, that's what he means.
Who brought ChrisG to losers bracket?
Justin had no gimmicks his fundamentals are TOO GODLIKE
Really good showing from both players! :)
That was the Wong factor friend, not a fluke. This isn't the first time Justin has made comebacks like these.
Good for Justin! Never liked him but after seeing the zoning gameplay from that other guy I started rooting for Justin.
best evo finals ever
KoF was amazing as usual, no one cares about Smash or Injustice but Marvel and SF fucking delivered.
You entered the Wong neighborhood chris g
Totally wrong , it was Windzero ...
I was screaming inside my house, did anyone else do the same? Congrats to Justin Wong on beating Chris G and for coming 1 game short of winning it. Flocker and Justin Wong both deserved to win Evo just as much as Xian and Tokido did for Super SFIV. Pity only one of them could win, but still, Justin Wong eliminates Chris G, Flocker wins Marvel, Xian wins Super SFIV with Gen.
Can you seriously get any more hyped then this? This evo was amazing unlike last year's boring Top 8 in SFIV.
this is one of the best clutch comebacks
LOL by the time sf4 finals were finishing it was like 1am on the EC, by the time marvel and sf4 came on, most people around the world went to sleep. The fact 100 people were watching at that time is amazing honestly. Smash was hype as hell, but its really not fair to compare the view count due to time slots.

It's frustrating to see this awful matchup but Justin has shown that he can still do marvels with his old team. This won't be the last time he does it and I doubt he will ever leave Storm.
Going into the last match I am pretty sure Chris G says, "yo, the slow down is so bad"
This was the Hypest moment in evo
I'd still put Evo moment 37 above this still, but this comes closer than anything else.
THAT WONG FACTOR WAS TOO REAL THIS MATCH!!! OMFG!
Any match where chrisg gets floored from his missilefist spamfest is a joy to behold.
This is incredible, but evo moment 37 is still the best, this however tops any comeback of Justin's in the past.
Lol, I find it hard to believe that people are still considering Chris G's Morrigan spamming soul fists. Chris G has evolved way past that level of spamming, every soul fist he does is for a specific reason, whether it be to get in, or to keep him out. Like his tactic or not, Chris G is dominant because he figured our Morrigan's full potential as a character, offensively and defensively.
This was fantastic! Chat exploded! To lose to double chip supers though had to hurt so bad. tt
this match still gives me the chills.
Who put Chris G Into losers?
Those classic Justin Wong comebacks
crouching M but vergil needs to be exactly coming out and you have to time it
It's always interesting that the most boring character (Morirgan) and the most boring player (Chris G) lead to the hypest matches. A lot of iconic matches in these games have Chris G's name in it.
that crouching M that stuffed the Helm Breaker? Kreygasm.
ChrisG was on that smooth sailing until he hit a hailstorm
People who weren't at EVO themselves shouldn't talk out of their asses. People loved Melee at EVO, and boo'd Injustice pretty hard. Marvel was by far the most hype though.
"Instant classic" enough said
