Evo 2009 SF4 Champion: Umehara Daigo

daigo_evo3

First of all, let me say that this was an incredible match. One of the best matches I have ever seen in tournament history. It may have even been better than Daigo’s previous major win versus Justin Wong at Evo 2004. It’s safe to say now that Daigo “The Beast” is the best Street Fighter player in the world after having defeating incredible competition at Evo this year. Justin Wong, the best player in America, hands down, brought a strong game to Daigo and it was an amazing, edge of your seat battle between these two greats (I watched the live stream at home on the edge of my seat screaming). But, at the end of the day, the best stepped forward and claimed the crown….again. Other impressive players were Ed Ma, Sanford Kelly (Who defeated reigning champ Justin Wong for the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 title), Shady K, and Dan from Japan. BTW, Sandford is dirty with Cammy, I’m watching for him next year.

Call of Duty: World At War

We still have a couple more weeks to find out if the Call of Duty series is finally going to be done right in the hands of Treyarch. They have a lot to live up to after Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 4. If this video is any sign though, Treyarch might be well on their way to redemption (from COD3) and a great game!
