Each time he used the Dragon Balls his health was pretty low so full health restore was a pretty good choice seeing as bringing a character back only gives like 25% health back. So the choice really was would he rather have 2 characters at 25% health or one character at full health.  25% of a character's health can easily be wiped off by a single combo.

I thought SonicFox was a pussy.  He got destroyed hard 3 matches in a row and then he asked the officials to switch sides.  Goi was on a roll and that cool down period trying to switch sides just killed his momentum.  SonicFox is definitely skilled and may/may not have deserved to win, but that was a dick move he pulled. Lost respect. 

(And Evo officials shouldn't even allow it or else every other player in every single match in every game can call for that then too.)

That moment when you ask for a 5 minute side switch.

Side switching should definitely be allowed though. Some players perform certain moves more consistently on one side than the other. In Tekkken for example people commonly describe Electric Wind Godfist to be more consistently executed on one side, (on an arcade stick) because of the nature of how you move your wrist more comfortably inwards, rather than outwards.

But switching sides should be done quickly. No different from how the losing player is allowed to go to the character select screen to reflect for a minute or so.

lol that picture xD

Side switching mid match shouldn't be allow or else everybody would want to switch sides all the time after every round etc. Chances are everybody that's played and trained were sitting on the left side their whole life so everybody would be wanting the left side but somebody has to be on the right side.  Can you imagine every single round a player is asking an Evo member to flip a coin just to try and get the left side.  Choosing sides should've been determined from the beginning before the match even started.  Next time all these tournaments should just have both players have their own screen facing back to back or front to front then its all equal. 

Also during the semi finals, Goi and SonicFox faced eachother and SonicFox had the left side which got him into the grand final, so he should've man-up and its only fair now that Goi get the left side since their last encounter SonicFox did.  SonicFox just seemed like a pussy cause he got wrecked the initial 3 matches of the finals.
