So EVO was this past weekend. You know, one of the best things about these tournaments is the great stories we get to take away from them. A man meets his future wife when his and her hand reach for the same arcade stick. Two long-lost twins reunite when they face off against each other–serendipitously–as Yun and Yang. Daigo Umehara performs the greatest act in the history of the world. All in a day’s work at EVO (note: I made some of those stories up).

One of the more heartwarming scenes to come of this year’s tournament was the rise of eight-year-old contender Noah, who not only destroyed faces left and right in Marvel, but also proved once and for all the age-old hypothesis that grown-ups are, in fact, doo-doo heads. Way to go, Noah! You shan’t be forgotten. 

Click the jump to see videos of Noah taking out the trash as though it were a nonchalant afterthought. So cool. 

If that doesn’t dump a little of the ol’ proverbial chicken soup on your soul, surely nothing will. 

More EVO coverage to come!
