Hey @Evo, how did Daigo get the nickname "The Beast"?
Who made the video and coined "Moment 37"?
Asking for a friend.
Evo@Evo
How did Daigo Umehara become The Beast? Watch @daigothebeast's episode of Evo Legends powered by @QiddiyaGaming, live now on EvoFGC.

@fightelement @Evo Right, I was just mentioning what they stated on the video. I know you're the real deal, Tragic. Much respect! But people just don't know/ won't do research or once again, re write history
English
@NinjaGrinder @Evo That is definitely not true. It came from Alpha 3 Nationals. I said "The beast has been unleashed" when Daigo was going off on team USA. Also, same time and place "press some buttons, Cole" came from.
English
@fightelement @Evo Yeah it's funny, they said the nickname supposedly came from Japan, that when Seth Killian mentioned it on Domination series, he'd already been using it. Re writing history as always
English
@jamessmk @Master_Steve00 My man, they didn't even TELL me I wasn't going to be the MC once Sony came in. That's after 20 years of being the finals day MC and being one of the original planners of the event, and the guy that NAMED it. Trust me, they don't care. =)
Appreciate the kind words, though! <3

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see you in the EVO Hall of Fame next year. The work you put in back then, writing strategy guides, helping build the scene when it was still in its infancy, running and maintaining IRC channels, and even working in the industry on games like Thrill Kill, all of that mattered.
You’ve been one of the quiet pillars of what we now call the #FGC, and a lot of people probably don’t even realize how much of the foundation came from people like you.

Crazy to think this was almost 30 years ago. Tragic the Gathering was about getting all the IRC homies (our "Discord" before Discord) into one place. This was after B3 but before B4 and B5 (precursors to EVO). We had like 35-40 people in a tiny townhouse in NorCal for 3 days.

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
English
@fightelement Best part about the trip... actually hanging out with Ben @fightelement and learning of his beatbox skills 😉

@SuperDojo Trivia: Alpha 3 Nationals is where we all met Daigo for the first time, and I coined the nickname "The Beast" which has stuck forever.
It's also where the lesser known "Press Some Buttons Cole" meme came from. @AfroCole =)
English
We also had a smaller gathering at the same house for Alpha 3 Nationals, which many other OG's showed up: @SuperDojo Mike Watson, Toan, Martin Vega, and the rest of the usual suspects.

@ProtomCannon @Pond3r @jchensor @GunterJPN @OkamotoKitchen @AfroCole @TheAlexValle @Sirlin Trivia: TTG was coined by @derek_omni IIRC.
There was also a TTG2 (following year), and a very small TTG3 at a different location (1999).
English
Some names:
@ProtomCannon, @Pond3r, @jchensor, @GunterJPN, LA Akira / White Gerald / @OkamotoKitchen, Black Gerald, @AfroCole, Bob Painter, Martin Hector, FlipMeign (Mark Acero), Joanna, TobiasNYC, Kris and Omar from VA, Castel, DLC outfit @TheAlexValle, @Sirlin and many more!

@vryu123 @FATALFURY_PR Gotcha. Let me do some more tests. Good find.
English
@fightelement @FATALFURY_PR Are you using 236C (2nd hit only) both in your normal route AND after your lvl2 RS?
Because this is the bugged move which remove the scaling of initial EX DP.
I guess you use it in your normal route (so EX DP combo does more dmg), and not after lvl2 RS (so DP C does more). No?
English
There is a bug with Geese 236C when only 2nd hit connects.
It doesnt count as a hit, and seems to even remove the scaling of earlier EXs.
You can see different value here. (Raw hit, 2nd hit, 3rd hit)
Ex dp > 236C (1hit) > DP A.
DP A does 28x38 dmg

English
@vryu123 @FATALFURY_PR I thought the EX would scale more... but DP AC into normal route does more than DP C for same combo. But... if you do DP AC into L2 RS then follow-up, you don't do more (it's drastically scaled). Identical follow-up.
I'll do some more testing. Very odd.
English
@fightelement @FATALFURY_PR Its because EX scales more than regular moves.
What pointed me the bug is that starting with DP C (doing only 13 less dmg than EX) should in the end do lot more since less scaling, but it wasnt the case. So i noticed it was because of 236C only connecting 2nd hit
English
@OlafRedland Yeah, I've tested a number of combos into and out of Raging Storm. He has an 800 DMG version with no Hidden Gear using L2 after a launch.
English
This is high enough for Raging Storm into otg, by the way. Counter hit rekka stomp OR counter hit qcb+C both do it.
And you can even juggle into another qcb+C for more height and time.
tragic@fightelement
Here is a funny cross-under into pickup. The second combo is essentially coast to coast. Starting from mid screen, the combo ends in a more interesting way! #CotW #COTW_Geese #CotW_NightmareGeese
English
Geese Super MAX 880 Damage!
Same combo as before with 623AC Starter.
So close to 900!
