One pro fighting game player’s reaction to losing at Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves<\/a> was so dramatic that it’s going viral on social media and already showing signs of becoming a meme.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been looking at game-related sections of social media today, chances are you have stumbled across a picture or clip of Japanese player Kazuyuki ‘Kojikog’ Koji, mouth open in a scream and clutching his head, while fellow player Goichi “GO1” Kishida looks on with a mixture of concern and bemusement. A couple of stills were even shared by EVO2025\u2019s official X account.<\/p>\n

A story in two parts.#Evo2025<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/eo2pkg2Psg<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Evo (@Evo) August 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The player in question is KojiKOG, an esports pro from Japan who mainly specializes in fighting games like Street Fighter, the King of Fighters and Guilty Gear. This weekend, he took on fellow Japanese player GO1 (Goichi) in the Winners’ Semi Final for Fatal Fury: City of Wolves at the Evolution Championship Series 2025 (EVO2025).<\/p>\n

Although GO1 won both rounds (and went on to win overall), the fights were very close. Upon being defeated, KojiKOG clutched his head with his mouth open in a continuous scream worthy of\u2026 well, Edvard Munch\u2019s painting The Scream. This dramatic emotional outburst, plus GO1\u2019s bemusement, resulted in a number of meme-worthy shots.<\/p>\n

KojiKOG eventually snaps out of his losing pose and can be seen chatting to GO1 and tidying up. It is clear from this that he was acting. However, shorter clips on social media have caused some who are unfamiliar with KojiKOG\u2019s antics to worry that he was having a real breakdown. <\/p>\n

\u2014 Keith Ace (@Keith_Ace_) August 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

KojiKOG is known for being a bit of a comedian, often doing his screaming pose and pulling funny faces in interviews (like at EWC2025<\/a>). His dramatic reaction to losing this weekend was likely a reference to when he previously faced off against GO1 at EVO15. As seen in the video below, he did a similar screaming pose- puzzling the Japanese commentators as his antics weren\u2019t well known back then.<\/p>\n

\n

10 years ago, GO1 went to EVO for the first time and won 4 side games\u2014Melty Blood, Dengeki Bunko, UNI, and AQUAPAZZA, beating KojiKOG in the finals<\/p>\n

Today, they meet again on the EVO main stage, recreating the ‘leg cutting incident’ meme https:\/\/t.co\/p5whu1GNLB<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/rfPVn2HJXg<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 HiFight(\u30cf\u30a4\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30c8) (@HiFightTH) August 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Commenting on this, legendary pro fighting game player Daigo Umehara mused that KojiKOG\u2019s reaction was like a character in the SAW movies having their leg cut off. This is why many Japanese fans colloquially refer to KojiKOG\u2019s dramatic pained reaction as the \u201cleg cutting incident\u201d and the like.<\/p>\n

Although KojiKOG lost against GO1 at EVO2025, he came in joint fifth place overall, winning 80% of his matches in Fatal Fury: City of Wolves.<\/p>\n
