Thank you everyone for helping me achieve a dream. It's finally official and so surreal.... congrats to my fellow inductees Ohnuki and Ryan. I am very humbled and appreciate this award more than anyone will ever know. Love you all.

You think you seen it all? Been around a long time but even I was a bit surprised at this one. 730am, city of Long Beach, CA. Street walking prostitutes getting escorted across the street by a crossing guard designated to help children during school hours. Is this the new norm?

It's crazy that this was the official EVO shirt one year. The story and lore behind this is pretty funny 😁 big shoutout to @fubarduck for helping with the Kanji. #IFYKYK or else #YJDK haha!

Throwing my 2 cents in.... Tomo has the skills of Wilt, the championship mentality of Russell, and the work ethic of Kobe. Unless you have faced this man, it's really hard to explain. NO ONE wanted to see this guy in tourney ever. That's a fact!

I feel like hes the Wilt Chamberlain. Has all the craziest records but it was before cameras

Noooo...... whether you knew him as Jackson or Ogre, he was a huge on screen presence and a part of my youth that will definitely be missed. RIP Donald.

May we all learn to grow and change into being more open minded and better versions of ourselves. With love as always, Watson.

There's so much about @daigothebeast and @JWonggg that the community doesn't know. I have a bunch of cool info to share about EVO that year that only a few people know. And yes, I'm qualified to speak on it cause I was there and actually qualified top 8 that year 😉 any interest?

Very cool and detailed interview with an old school innovator that deserves his flowers. His name is "Sicdic" and yes, that's sounds just like it's spelled lol. Give it a read if you're interested in the beginnings of combo videos and Mortal Kombat. Nice article @NinjaGrinder 👍
Apr 17
OG Mortal Kombat Combomakers interview series continues, this time with Sicdic! It's a must read if you remember Gamecombos and you're into CMVs.
Thanks to @SuperDojo for making it possible.

Just so the people know... SoCal was ALWAYS tops in the Golden Era. And here's some proof. Look at who entered the "Intermediate," aka the kiddie bracket 🤣 and who got tops in the "Elite" bracket. Here's a 1st hand story for you non-believers. Love you NorCal 😘

Read a great quote today :
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

This is exactly what I'm always preaching. We got THE PEOPLE who are 1st hand involved but somehow get 2nd and 3rd hand stories published still... 🤦♂️ I'm sorry Ben... your story will be told soon enough my brother.

Hey @Evo, how did Daigo get the nickname "The Beast"?
Who made the video and coined "Moment 37"?
Asking for a friend.

I'm sorry guys. I gave them to 4 people in order requested. If anyone doesn't reply in a couple days I'll go down the list and offer to the next person up. Thank you all for your interest and if I happen to get a few more I'll gladly share again.

Well that explains why you found more success at Tekken rather than SF 🤣 jk of course brother. Thank you for always having kind words to match your kind heart. Now we are connected forever as the class of 2026. May you continue to find success!

I used to download Mike Watson matches on FTP servers. It sometimes took days to download. Imagine our anticipation as eager Third Strike players wondering what was in store for us. Hype times 😄😄😄 @SuperDojo

Personal awards and achievements are awesome and feel great, but my true goal is to have a platform to tell the true history of the FGC and give credit to many who are not well known. I have always told stories even if I'm the villain or butt of the joke so you know it's real!🤣

Sadly not able to join y'all at the EVO Awards this year but felt it might be a good time to share some old photos of some of the OG scene builders that attended Tragic The Gathering '97
