Some epic moments in "fighting games" genre

Evo - the world championship

The best part is the analysis - the mental games and the prep
it goes way beyond the joystick and graphics - a true test of mettle and aggression.

further thoughts...

a defending champion - young, rich and the best tools
vs
a sort of sensei in usa scene - with lowest tier character

epic application - mental fortitude and experience.

experience teaches you to 'time' aggression - the young nepotists - just are aggressive - an old wolf knows.

Codeparity- Paw - solves some of the 'scaling' issues - making video games accessible - to anyone.
