Justin Wong is the most decorated player in EVO history, with more Top 8 finishes and first place trophies than any other competitor in the fighting game community.
But Justin Wong didn't coast on tournament winnings or his name cache. Justin won all those EVO medals, all those Top 8 finishes, while working day jobs during the week and going to tournaments on the weekend. Justin Wong was just 15 when he won his first EVO title, and he's worked harder than almost anyone to stay on top.
This is his story.

I actually have the movie and in it Justin's first team is documented as Empire Arcadia. Is there a reason why you left that out of this video??

@skibidi6976 4 года назад

I have so much respect for this guy, and I’ve never even played Street Fighter or Marvel vs Capcom. He was the son of immigrants, never met his mom, had a busy dad, and raised by his grandma. He worked for himself as a kid/teen, went to school, has a great work ethic, and still managed to play at an arcade and become a god. He literally worked a full time job at NVIDIA of all places and still traveled to tournaments? At that point, he could have taken a risk and quit his job earlier, but didn’t for a long time. I’m sure that after he retires he will get another amazing job and a great life. +10000000 respect to Justin

@math001 6 лет назад

This video didn't explain how Chris G was basically dominating the MvC3 scene at that time and how big the impact of Justin's win really was during that tournament. Oh good times. I really miss MvC3 and it's pretty bad that the replacement to it (MVCI) was the worst thing that ever happened to the series. I like DBFZ and it's good to me that it will take up MvC's spot this generation but there's really something about the randomness and the hype factor behind MvC3 that makes it fun watching even vs MvC2.

@bless1984 5 лет назад

Part 2 is way better than part 3. Part 3 was a major step down.

@Shirohige4yonko 5 лет назад

I love DBFZ, however MvC3 will always be that game I will always treasure.

@augustgreig9420 4 года назад

I was rooting for Chris G, buy I love Justin too. I think it was great how that GF was between the two best players, and neither of them are execution Gods. Neither of them can really land TAC infinites like basically every other top player can, and neither of them do the most optimal combos with their characters (except maybe Chris's Morrigan). Yet they win because their fundamentals and defense are so great.

@exelchrome5428 3 года назад

Justin’s playstyle in MvC2 reminds me of hungrybox from melee. They both played slowly and campy and its effective while making ridiculously big comebacks and it gave them both a title which is “The Wong Factor” and “Clutchbox”.

@N0616JCProductions 6 лет назад

That arcade is still open if you're wondering.

Jwong is truly one of the GOATs of the FGC and his drive to compete, and his mental fortitude to grow paid off. He's a big reason why many of us are even part of the FGC now. Couldn't be happier that he gets to be an ambassador for the community, and one day I hoped to get mopped by him. I am not ready yet, but maybe one day I will catch a fade

I've played many fighting games, casually, throughout my life, starting with SF2SCE on the Mega Drive, but I never knew the FGC existed in such a competitive sense until I watched my first FGC event; Evo 2013. So watching a documentary like this and knowing all this had been going on for years just makes me feel like I was living under a rock, and more importantly, missed out....

I think the fast-forwarding takes away from the amount of work it took for Justin's Cyclops to take out those three characters. Like, the amount of correct reads needed is pretty unreal.

@eccentrictomboy 6 лет назад

Good editing doesn't have to be flashy...

@ryswick1064 6 лет назад

I'm not saying more editing was needed, I'm saying less editing would've been nice. Could you imagine that editing on Evo moment 34? It just doesn't need to be done, the clip speaks for itself.

@eccentrictomboy 6 лет назад

last I"ll say on the matter - i swear. I can look up this clip on the same platform I'm viewing this video on - the edit recontextualized the moment within the narrative they're telling. To me it was a neat effect, great audio work, and kept my focus on this more in-depth look at JWong's career. Not trying to make a point - was just trying to give the editor credit for an otherwise less visible moment - that I saw it and I appreciated it. :)
