Ten years ago was perhaps the most famous moment in fighting games, dubbed “Evo Moment #37″. Evo 2004, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, Daigo Umehara Ken vs. Justin Wong Chun-Li. You’ve probably seen it countless number of times. If it’s been a while, here’s a refresher:
In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Umehara’s Full Parry, Super Arcade is organizing a tourney that brings back the classics titles of the 90s and 00s, hosted at the original site of Evo 2004, Cal Poly Pomona in Pomona, California. Also featured are some of the greatest players of the fighting game community: Daigo “The Beast” Umehara and Justin Wong, the two players that made the Moment; Capcom vs. SNK 2 champion D44 BAS; Mike Watson, Alex Valle and John Choi, the “3 Kings of Cali”$$ Marvel vs. Capcom 2 god Sanford Kelly; and Street Fighter II legend Tomo Ohira.
