It's either favoritism, earned, or an imposed will,
or a little bit of all three.


I'm okay with the favouritism, but the picture itself devalues each and every progamer at that event, as it pretty much says that they weren't dedicated enough to keep playing.


And rightly so.

...Does this make you feel sorry for other players?

Hard work beats talent every time that talent doesn't work hard.



Except for the part where the other players weren't allowed to keep playing, but he was. But enough about that picture, honestly. I respect Boxer and all, but how many Koreans practice a million hours a day? Exactly.

Would anybody be able to explain the context of it? I take it the block was hard to do?


I was gonna write something out but frankly the most upvoted comment does it justice far better than I could.

Anyone would expect the move to win the match. And as we can all see, Ken didn't just pull off the 15 consecutive ticks at the 15 right moments, he used the slight opening exposed as Chun-Li finished her move, and landed a combo on her that took away half of her life bar - and won the match. Under the high-stress world champion tournament situation. Is it surprising that he got a standing ovation and made fighting game history?

Not to mention EVO is the olympics of fighting games, and they were playing for gold.



Epic.


I hate to be one if these people but FYI it was loser bracket finals, they weren't playing for gold.

Poor poor cyx, I remember when I read about his death. It was terrible and unexpected.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.
