However, it is strange to see more of these lesser known players than names that you expected. They have participated in tournaments before and have done very well for themselves. Now, none of the players I mentioned are slouches in the Street Fighter V scene. The other players to get the rest of the slots were iDom, Machabo, Infexious, Big Bird, Kichipa-mu and Yang Mian. The only two “popular” names that made it this year are Fujimura and Bonchan. None of those names made it to Street Fighter V’s Top 8 of EVO 2019. In the United States and Europe, you can predict that most people are going to pick the likes of Punk, Problem X, Nuckledu and maybe even Justin Wong. You have names like Tokido, Daigo, Fuudo and the likes of Itabashi Zangief. Just from Japan alone, you have a plethora of names that you expect to see make it to EVO’s finals. In every Street Fighter tournament, fans generally expect to see a few names to be making it to Top 8. Street Fighter V’s Influx of New Blood in Top 8 Your opinion on Infiltration being able to participate in any fighting game tournament, especially after the domestic abuse case but, for me, it did give me nostalgic feels to see him back in the thick of things. It was also odd to see him without all the sponsorship on his body and just wearing a nondescript T-shirt. It was surreal to see Infiltration back in the fighting game scene and especially in a big show like EVO. He joined the Samurai Shodown tournament and he returned in a huge way by winning the entire thing. This time, it wasn’t in Street Fighter V. Infiltration hasn’t been heard from a while but, at this year’s EVO, he did pop his head into the fighting game scene once again. This led to Infiltration to be dropped by his sponsor company and being banned by Capcom from participating in any Street Fighter tournaments. Things took a dark turn when alleged domestic abuse allegations came to light. He was on the top of the world, being a dominant figure in the Street Fighter world and even winning the very first Street Fighter V tournament at EVO. Infiltration’s fighting game career could be so much better. Infiltration’s return to dominance (Samurai Shodown) All that hard work paid off and you can feel the joy he felt after finally beating SonicFox. Not only was the match really good but the emotions that came rushing out of Go1 shows all the passion he put into playing Dragon Ball FighterZ and practicing day in and day out to be the best in the world. After the win, Go1’s emotions just washed over him and he broke down with tears of joy with SonicFox gracious enough to raise his hand. But Go1 recovered and managed to take three set sets against his rival and ultimately winning this year’s Dragon Ball FighterZ tournament at EVO. It also looked like it was going to be a replay of last year as SonicFox immediately got two wins over Go1, threatening to send the Japanese player into the losers bracket and with no momentum. This year, both Go1 and SonicFox once again clashed in Dragon Ball FighterZ, which was basically a rematch from last year’s EVO. However, it was spoiled by SonicFox who pulled the “side switch” choice and led to Go1’s American rival to win in 2018. Go1 dominated the game since it’s released and he looked like a shoo-in to take the top spot for Dragon Ball FighterZ at last year’s EVO. Things came to a head with the release of Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Go1 is known to be one of the best fighting game competitors out there, excelling in multiple games like mainstream fighters such as Street Fighter V as well as relatively unknown games like Melty Blood. Go1’s Tears of Joy (Dragon Ball FighterZ) Whatever the case, let’s go look at some of those best EVO 2019 moments… Or they could just be those moments that makes this year’s EVO different from the others. They may be a result of those the emotional outbursts the players feel from competing in a tournament wherein the best in the world gather to become EVO champion. They may be talked about but are usually overshadowed by the flashy combos and incredible comebacks. But there are the other moments that don’t make those “the best of EVO” videos.
