Epic Moments in video games

I was watching some Super Street Fighter 4 clips on youtube and on the little side panel I saw "The Beast is Unleashed" or something like that and saw

I don't follow these tournaments or whatever, nor do I really care for Street Fighter 3, but all I can do is shake my head at that because I know I can't do that. Anyway, this is pretty much an anything goes thread. Whether you've experienced it first hand or something you found on the net that you think is epic, post it (or you can talk about it).

That uppercut is epic by itself. Edited by Magus

Any moment when you fight a Colossus in [b]Shadow of the Colossus.[/b] The music immediately picks up from silence once you're near the creature, then becomes exciting when you make your first strike. And as if your adrenaline isn't pumping enough, the closer you are to defeating it, the more wild the Colossus gets and the more intense the music becomes. Those guys really know how to make it feel like you're there. It's like playing a movie the whole time.

This one is pretty old but it stands out in my mind.  It's when you enter that underground grotto in the original Tomb Raider (the PS1 version, not the remake) and come face-to-face with the T-Rex for the first time.  There was no BGM or cutscene or anything to tip you off.  You're just walking along and then BAM, there it is standing in front of you.  Unless you knew there were caves along the wall to hide in it could turn into an "ohcrapohcrapohcrapwtf?!" moment pretty quick.

[color=deeppink]The second video is, as I understand it, a race between the world record holder and the holder of the next-fastest time.[/color]
