Akira, angry at not making it to the final

If the 15 minutes of Netherrealm's Injustice fired up your appetite for fighting game footage, these videos from last weekend's EVO 2K tournament should hit the spot.

Players from all over the world headed to Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, with some truly dazzling skills on display. Here are some videos of the final match-ups, courtesy of IGN.

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown

Note: The captions are wrong in this video: Fuudo is Shun-Di and Shironoku is El Blaze.

The King of Fighters XIII

If you're this good, you should enter EVO next year.

I'm trying to find all the umvc3 finals. Man, the finals last year for that game was crazy.

Yeah but the game is rubbish so watch the Virtua Fighter videos instead.

This is the first year in ages I haven't watched any SSFIV footage. Now KoFXIII and VF5 are in EVO there's no need for SSFIV.

The UMvC3 finals were sooooooo hype. I couldn't believe the amount of ridiculous comebacks this year. I was glad to see Filipino Champ take it although I was rooting for Frutsy and his nasty MODOK most of the way. The SSFIV finals weren't terribly exciting, because I hate Akuma. I was pulling for Human Bomb because Sakura is my girl and I gotta pay respects.

SFxT looks boring as hell so I wasn't too into that.

Champ's Dormammau team is crazy so I'm not too surprised he won. I honestly thought the competition was gonna be won by either him, Combofiend and Justin Wong. Do you happen to know where I can find videos of the finals?
