Relive all the punches with these EVO 2011 finals videos
EVO Championship Series, the largest fighting-game tournament in America and one of the largest world-wide, is like most other professional sporting events: watching it live is a big part of what makes it so entertaining. Unlike other pro-sports however, fighting-game tournaments take a heck of a lot of time, and not everyone has a whole weekend to spend watching dudes punch dudes. For those of you that missed the epic, surprising finals at this year's competition, IGN has made catching up incredibly easy. Hit the source link for videos of each Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 battle in the Grand Finals; we recommend Justin Wong vs. PR Balrog and Daigo vs. Latif for being the two most wager-destroying fights of the tournament. If you listen closely, you can hear someone losing the deed to their house as PR Balrog perfects Justin Wong.
