Reacting to EVO's Grand Final

[suck_it_sagat]

Ha!

I refuse to believe that outcome. We all know the REAL winner of that match was yours truly, the King of Muay Thai himself! I cannot be contained!

Hey, think of it like Rocky. In the end, you were the real winner. Not in the way-that-actually-counts sort of way, but in everyone's hearts.

Actually, that wasn't so much you as the guy playing you, so...yeah. Maybe this won't make you feel better at all.

[suck_it_sagat]

The guy playing me should have won BECAUSE he was playing me. I'm the best fighter in the entire tournament!

[That's... not how it works, Adon.]

F'real, those sets were hype.

[cassiefuckingcage]

Yeah, it's bullshit sometimes. Always gotta let your awesome skills ride on some Red Bull-swilling, basement-dwelling, agoraphobe motherfucker. True awesomeness is wasted on these dorkasaurs.

[Disrespectful? Yeah. Cassie don't give a shit. They're all dorks.]

I mean, our champ? Dude played Erron Black and fucking Kitana. Bitch, I'm S-tier at life. I body those chumps 12 times outta 10.

They're lucky they missed my red-eyed emodark phase.

They were amazing!

These players don't know what the hell they're doing half the time. I lost to an "evil" version of RYU of all people. Don't even know how or why he's evil now.

I agree on all the wasted awesomeness.

[cassiefuckingcage]

Who the fuck even knows with these things? They keep turning Superman evil all the time. I got turned evil before I got to be the big damn hero. It was probably just a matter of time for Karateman McProtagonist.

A guy missed out on Top 8 because he had me losing to fuckin' Shinnok. I beat Shinnok and saved the world - and that's the superpowered version they don't even let the nerds use. You ask me, anyone who has me lose to Original Recipe Lord Skullcap - that shit's on them, not me.

[suck_it_sagat]

At least Evil Superman would prove to be a good challenge! Evil Ryu is just on fire.

If there was one good thing about the kid using me, it's that the crowd was on HIS side. That means MORE people saw just how powerful I can be. But it still sucks they didn't have the skill to tap into your full potential. You sound like you'd be a formidable challenge for me.

I know I was on his side.

[cassiefuckingcage]

Maybe that's it. He's very upset that he's on fire.

[It's canon as far as Cassie is concerned.]

There's the two sides of being the People's Champ right there. On the one hand, everybody knows I'm the coolest. I come up, huge crowd pop. On the other hand, everyone's gonna come gunnin' for me. Can't let up for a minute.

[Cassie Cage's game is strong - she was pretty much made to be the protagonist of her game. You just gotta know how to manage stamina and deal with zoning. The mundane is, alas, a perma-scrub.]

Well, there don't seem to be any other fallen Elder Gods around. You could keep me from getting bored.

Shut it, we all know that hero fighty boy was gonna win, even if he got a bit tainted along the way.

[suck_it_sagat]

When did loner goody boy turn evil anyway?

[kasatsushi]

He grew a backbone somewhere. I dunno where, I don't care. I could still crush him in a fight.

[suck_it_sagat]

Maybe next time you'll get your chance. But I'll be crushing him first.

[Gouken is just going to be blissfully unaware of who Adon was supposed to be fighting.]

Refusing to accept a defeat is not only the sign of a coward, but one of a poor competitor as well. Perhaps you should accept this defeat with some humility.
