WVG writes: Now that the dust has settled and we’ve had time to collect our thoughts on this year’s Evolution 2011, WVG has put together a top 10 moments of EVO 2K11 to mess that all up. So sit back and revisit WVG’s Top 10 Moments of EVO 2K11.
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games. His tribute to this, which took him over 175 hours, was to combine every single character to ever appear in Capcom’s crossover series in the one enormous image.
Makes me despise Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite that much more
So much wasted potential
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
GB: "More than perhaps any other genre, fighting games offer the kind of mechanical depth that you can lose yourself in for years. Learning the ins and outs, learning and perfecting combos, and so many other things that make this one of the most competitive genres in gaming, even on a professional level now. But you don’t have to be playing against another human to be challenged in a fighting game. Throughout the years, this genre has thrown multiple final bosses at us that have got us all collectively pulling our hair out. In this feature, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen such fights."
Isshin the sword Saint was the hardest boss I ever beat. And I've been playing games for 30 years
I went through the clickfest, it's shameful; more than usual that is, lower than gamingbolt standards, Congrats GB you've reached a new low.
Daigo getting perfected was the best moment ever
Will DLC characters for Mortal Kombat be available for use in the next evo?
Good to see that 8 year kid in the fighting community... though I hope it doesn't affect how he grows (you know, like those sports kids when you were a young age). The thing is the environment he's in (I believe so) has a lot of adults and basically no kids... I can really say anything since I'm not too familiar with the fighting community haha.
My favorite was the BlazBlue one that was funny, I thought the guy should have barrier burst even though he wasn't taking damage earlier though...
