Jigglypuff isn't really used much from my understanding, but the attack that ended up finshing Peach off is hard as hell to land, especially at high levels. You basically have to be inside the opponent. If you miss, Puff falls asleep.

Also, Complexity Redemption is a really good esports video. I don't have a link 'cause I'm lazy. Maybe later. :B

No, Puff is actually considered top tier, difficult to make top tier though since survivability is low, but with a lot of proper air normals, puff is amazing.

The down B attack is difficult to pull off but for a pro its actually natural, but a risky move which is why you won't see it much, it was just a combination of that being the finishing blow in a tournament with some hype involved, but there is really nothing special about that video.

And if you guys are all going to be posting videos instead of the thread title of PHOTOS that define esports, and if yo'ure all going to be posting fighting game hype, you can't beat this.

15,000 dollar money match, another 42,000 dollars worth of side bets at the venue.

Striderdoom forever immortalized in one man.

Heres to hoping Strider is DLC in MvC3

PS: For all who don't get it, strider/doom is a team in MvC3 that Clockw0rk immortalized and perfected, you'll see that even day[9]'s old livestream account was called "striderdoom".

Unfortunately, it'll only be the 2nd best team in MvC2 history

About that "downfall of an emperor" post, which effectively answered my question of who it was, can someone tell me when that picture was taken? I'm guessing it was when he lost to iloveoov back in 2004 ish 2-3 where he would otherwise have won a Golden Mouse award?

Then how about this:

Also I see a lot of these pictures are branching away from the OP's goal of defining *Korean* esports - topic subject being a bit too broad.

I would say the picture of the massive crowd arena and the *many* tears shed would easily define the eSports of Korea. Many non-gamers have the perception that gamers are just rotting their lives away. To the professionals in Korea, this is their passion. Games aren't just a medium to escape reality.

^ That was probably my fav wcg moment. I remember watching the first game thinking creo would get rolled, then the series ended up like that.. so epic.

I really like the hasuobs photo on the cover of this book aswell (there are also a bunch of other awsome photos inside) http://esportsyearbook.com/eyb2009_ebook.pdf
