Poetic justice after all the trash Wong talked about Adon at the release of Super. Correct me if I'm wrong but the players name was GamerBee not Killer Bee. Does he go by Killer Bee normally?

ExplosionSauce5452d ago

I like Karin more than Adon just as much as he does, lol

Wong trash talks everyone. The guy has always been an arrogant prick, making excuses about lag or character counterpicks whenever he loses. But ultimately he lost to two different players due to his Justin Bieber haircut.

Here's the video... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

He just did the Wong move. Hehe. See what I did there. It may wong to do but I had too. I love Puns.

RockmanII75452d ago

I don't know who any of these people are, but every match I watched got my heart pounding. Definitely going to watch the finals.

Justin Wong is generally considered the #1 Street Fighter player in the US. He pretty much wins all his tournaments he participates here in the states. However he's never really taken the top spot on the global scale. He became famous within the fighting game community when he lost to Japan's top player (Daigo) in Evo 2004 (world tournament) in Vegas. You can watch the famous clip in this video, where Daigo made a dramatic comeback with the last pixel of life left. It was voted as the one of the greatest moments in competitive gaming.

Ever after that, Justin Wong was still the number 1 player in the states for many years but he was never able to beat Daigo. I think Capcom really profited from the rivalry between the two players, caused mostly by the fighting game community rather than by Daigo or Justin. So every year it always ends up with Daigo vs Justin in the grand finals, but Justin always loses, including last year's EVO.

Most players respect Daigo because he's calm, collected, and very respectful whether he's winning or losing (he sometimes drops to #2 within Japan's tournaments). Gamers in the fighting game community either love or hate Justin because he's a great player, considered the underdog, but at the same time arrogant and always making excuses for his losses.

A lot of people were surprised that Justin got knocked out before making it into the final 8 in the tournament because it's usually Daigo vs Justin in the grand finals.

Gamerbee, the guy who knocked Justin out in the other video I linked, is a great player from Taiwan who is relatively unknown on the international scale. What made this fight so great is because Gamerbee used a character named Adon (yellow small guy in the video), generally considered to be one of the weakest characters in Street Fighter 4 out of 35 characters. Justin Wong, the guy who lost in the video, was recorded a few months ago saying that Adon is the worst, is bad, and is ass. It's ironic that Justin got knocked out of the tournament by a relatively unknown Adon player.

He also had a small army of drones always downplaying daigo for his use of Ryu , while justin would be the "hero" using something else ?

Give me a break we have rarely seen justin use something low tiers , last year he only added Balrog , a top tier character , to his already excellent Rufus .

Sure he isnt responsible for his fans' trash talks , but he is quite fond of doing the same as well .

man i was so high when I posted that here at EVO ... you don't understand .. anyways thanks for reminding me ... I made the update to the post. LOL ... it did sting like a killer bee though ... LOL

Marceles5452d ago

eliminated from SSF4, but if he wasn't already, he pretty much cemented himself as the best MvsC2 player ever. He beat Sanford 6-1

deafwing5452d ago

they both use to practice at China Town fair, and I've felt my share of fury from them both ... Sanford has a different style than him and he gets upset too easily when things doesn't go his way. the justin playing that match is not the guy i know ... though the lost was solid, he wasn't playing like he usually does (but that's his fault and no one else).

Veneno5452d ago

DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!! I had to work all night so i wasn't abel to watch the live stream. I would have loved to watch that match. hopefully it goes up on youtube.

Quagmire5452d ago

'who' is elimnated from 'what'?

KingItachi5452d ago (Edited 5452d ago )

Gamer Bee took it to him don't forget Vangeif sent him to losers.

Baka-akaB5452d ago

While i respect his skills that none of us can touch , i dont like the guy ... so can't say i was unhappy . So long wong!

Shawn's Top 10 game franchises that need to end

There are a ton of game franchises out there that just keep having games pumped out. Most of these we don’t ask for, but we keep buying them. As a result, they keep making them. This is a list of the 10 franchises that need to end. Or at least end for a long enough time to give fans time to really appreciate them and maybe for the publishers to really appreciate the fans. Some of these on this list Shawn used to love and others Shawn always hated. Either way, they all have gone past their prime and like an aging sports star, they need to either ride the bench for a while or outright retire.

This guy must hates Nintendo. Terrible article.

dotwithshoes3967d ago

You know, just from his paragraph about Zelda proves it's a terrible article, and lacking facts. I agree with you totally, terrible.

I definitely think that sports games should only come out a few times each console and instead be given patches or DLC with each new season.
Legend of Zelda I think is spread out well enough with just enough changes to avoid franchise fatigue. Mario, however should be spaced out some more.

dotwithshoes3967d ago

The thing about "releasing 5 mario games a year", like the article states, is that they are not all the same game. If we look at the past, New Super Mario Bros is not like Super Mario Galaxy, which is not like Mario Kart, which is not like Mario Super Sluggers, which is not like Mario Golf. Just because they all carry the same main character doesn't make them the same game. It's moronic fanboys who are blind to this fact that spout off constantly that they are.

HentaiMasterRace3967d ago

I understand the others(although I don't agree), but why Mario? Mario is an iconic character to all of gaming.

KakashiHotake3967d ago (Edited 3967d ago )

I agree with some points in the article, however Call of Duty Advance Warfare looks legit, and I would also take Zelda off the list. Everything else I agree with. A trend I have noticed over the years is it seems like the Japanese only know how to milk franchises now. Seriously what is the last original game any of the Japanese companies have made? It's like they're stuck in 1990's Super Nintendo/ PS1 era minus the innovation. That's just how far back those games go. Capcom has made well over 20 Street Fighters, Square has close to 20 Final Fantasies, that's just insane. I also agree it's time for Sega to put Sonic to rest. I used to love Sonic, but at this point they're just killing the legacy. Well Sega is publishing Alien isolation and that looks promising but other than that I have seen anything new from the Jap studios in a long long time, and that's too bad because the Japanese have some of the most creative imaginations.
