The yr is 2004. The Scream has been stolen in a daring artwork heist. Saddam Hussein is on trial. And some creep known as Mark is making a web site that compares ladies. But by no means thoughts all that, as a result of the EVO preventing game championship is witnessing its defining moment. Daigo “The Beast” Umehara is on his final sliver of well being in opposition to a daunting Chun-Li who has simply unleashed her super-duper ending transfer. Miraculously, with the talent and timing of a skilled martial artist, Daigo’s Ken stands his floor. He parries. He parries once more. He parries 14 consecutive kicks after which… will get knocked out by the final kick? Wait. That’s not the way it goes.
But that’s the way it did go in a single hellish different timeline. EVO moment 37 is bandied about by preventing game followers as one of the crucial dramatic moments in digital biffing. A final minute turnaround that concerned such finesse, talent and composure that everybody within the occasion’s corridor jumped to their ft to have a good time Daigo Umehara’s surprising victory.
But what if issues had been completely different? If that second had turned out as anti-climactic as this scrap between bots in Salty Bet, it might need been simply as memorable. But for darkish, sinister causes. Fight followers, that is Hell Moment 37.

No Context Mugen is a Twitter account that burps up fights between bots in M.U.G.E.N, an growing older preventing game engine for which followers create their very own characters. If you’ve ever delved into the internet dive bar that is Salty Bet, you’ll recognise it. With M.U.G.E.N, bizarre fights can happen between obscure anime characters and offended memes. Splinter from the Ninja Turtles versus a damaged, twitching model of Spiderman. Or unhappy Yoshimitsu being slapped round by an enormous MS Paint Peter Griffin. It’s on this twisted fightscape that the 2 robotic foes, “Daigo Ken” and “Passive-Aggressive Chun-Li”, recreated the ultimate second of that previous struggle.
No Context Mugen has been including movies for nearly a month now. It’s an junk-filled pantry filled with different preventing game silliness. This latest struggle between Kung Fu Man and an unseen troll program simply called “The Freezer” is an efficient bout. I additionally like this struggle, which sees a Pokemon endlessly dropping rocks on his anime opponents head.
