After disposing of their high-profile opponents in the semis, John Choi and Afrolegends squared off in the final of Evo 2009’s Super Street Fighter II HD Remix event. The finals saw another Ryu (Choi) vs. Balrog (Afrolegends) bout, but this match shows how two great masters play mind games as they try to outfake and outpredict each other’s moves.

John Choi hailed from the losers’ bracket, but he met some strong competition over there. The list includes the Balrog user, Graham, who eliminated Daigo Umehara from the HDR tournament. Graham also holds the honor of decimating Daigo with a perfect round in their match.

Afrolegends saw his share of high-profile opponents as well. Among them is Alex Valle. Valle, however, seemed to be struggling with his M. Bison game, which led to an Afro-Balrog pwnage of the Street Fighter dictator.

So now – the final. Who wins? If you still don’t know who did, then you’d best sit tight and watch the fight.
