Justin Wong (commonly abbreviated to "JWong") (born November 15, 1985) is an American Fighting Games player.
He is an eight-time EVO champion, having won Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, Street Fighter III: Third Strike 2v2 Teams in 2009 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 in 2014. He also won MVC2 at the 2001 edition of EVO's predecessor, Battle by the Bay.
Although briefly, Justin Wong has also competed in other fighting game franchises such as Mortal Kombat, Pokken, Killer Instinct, King of Fighters, Tekken, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Skullgirls and SoulCalibur. Due to his early dominance of the American fighting game scene and eventual longevity in the genre, he is largely considered to be one of the greatest fighting game players of all time.
Justin Wong is known for his footsies-oriented, defensive style. In 2010, Justin was picked up by Evil Geniuses and became the first american fighting games player to be sponsored by an esports organization. After this, Justin signed to Echo Fox as part of a "super-team" of players including himself, Tokido, Momochi, Chocoblanka, SonicFox and Scar and stayed with the team until early 2019.
