EVO Fighting Game Championships
 

[Awaiting this year's schedule and stream links.]

The womens invitational only gets a half hour?

Shocker.

lol women's invitational. It's not like videogames are a super athletic sport where gender differences are a huge factor. Come on.

Just checked out a series between a Dhalsim and a Fuerte. That Dhalsim cracked under the pressure the last fight.

Yeah, Fuerte's a bitch in all levels of play.

Some of these guys, god damn.

Yeah, Marn is fucking nasty.

Sunday's gonna be so hype.

Semifinals were awesome. Justin Wong just got eliminated, which is nuts.

LOL

Anyway, today should be great. Gonna catch Tats, MvC3 casuals, and SSF4 finals. Everything else could fuck itself.

Stream chatters giving MvC2 so much shit lol.

Guess you found that meme.

MvC2 done. Some guy won with Storm/Sent/Cyke. That is unexpected and shocking.

TvC coming up.

EDIT WHOOPS:

Misread, fight goes on.

Did they say the last MvC2? They're retiring it?

No, I meant for the tourny.

No, when Wong won it. They were like "He's won the first and last MvC2 title."

Yeah, they're assuming they won't be able to fit it on the schedule anymore with MvC3 coming, and the potential of Midway getting a game on the show.

Oh... well there ya go.

I figure games remain as far as demand dictates.

LOL at MK as EVO 2011. That would be deliciously absurd.

Yeah, word. That would be hilarious.

They were saying MK and KOF both may get a shot.

KoF XIII I can believe.

If MK makes EVO I will lose further respect for that organization and gain unprecedented respect for Ed Boon in one stroke.

Even if the new games any good? Which most reports are saying it is so far...

The new MK being good seems likely. Tourny viable? Um........

Correction: It doesn't need to be tourny viable. They'll add it if enough people dig it.

True. Honestly, I would have said the chances of it being good would have been slim to none.

Isn't that how it should be instead of just a pretentious snob-fest?

People were saying MK vs DC was good. It turned out to be the same old shit, just more unbalanced and with fatalities toned down.

Really? Previews on Destructoid and Invisable Walls called it on being pretty shit after the E3 it was at. This time, the same places are saying it's pretty fun.

Well EVO's inconsistent. They bumped Blazblue this year (and I refuse to believe that had less potential players than MBAA), and HDRemix is still in for what I imagine is for 'tradition'.

They just claimed not that holding tournies and showing off scenes would get the game on the list, but lack of Smash, 3s, and BB sees through that bullshit. It's politics.

I would be happy to see MK get that kind of spotlight. MLG would do it regardless.

Fucking HOT TvC action right now. This game is leagues over MvC2.

Keits v Wong now. HYPE

Guy with the hoarse voice needs to get off the fucking mic. So distracting.

BRING OUT THE BROADS

This Kayane girl is real cute

That's a cute outfit she chose for Chun.

LOL Guy commentators totally patronizing the chicks.

I know

Kayane pulls off a super on recovery which is a feat in itself and the dudes are projecting:

"Yeah, she probably didn't imagine she could do that."

And they seemed generally amazed that she had a good poke game, whereas it wouldn't have been a subject if a dude was doing it.

I'd do Kayane, though. Novelty.

lol

Feel bad for laughing at all the patronizing, but only because those chicks would smoke me in a game.

MvC3 is very fast [/obvious]

Game looks fucking sexy.

Here goes

lol usa chant.

Fucking Infiltraion completely blew it.

k good

Did the stream freeze for anyone else?

crash

Gay. Did notice the number of viewers spiked tho.

Daigo advances

Fuck, missed it.

Makes my matches against Drakul look like childs play

Come on Akuma

Wow.

Stop teleporting, idiot

HERE WE GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

noooooooooooooooooooooo stream crash

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK stream is dead

Awesome

Daigo won. Undefeated

You guys are such nerds.

you stretched out my browser, Funky Fly.

I'll stretch out your asshole with my giant <s>BANHAMMER</s> BANPENIS

BECUZ U R B&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAMPERSANDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone wanna play Street Fighter?

god, did you really have to go there? Um, sure...gimme like 20 minutes, im still unpacking from my vaca.

yeah this internet thing may turn out to be a real bitch...

Restart your router, check if you've dowloaded all recent windows updates

Fuck. That session was horrible. I have never botched and whiffed so much in my life. Even that fight I actually won was because I whiffed what I was trying to do and somehow Roxy just jumped into it. Fight with Akuma should have been cake (no offence to Roxy) because almost all my fights with T Hawk always seem to be with Akuma or Ryu.

motherfucker, dont come at me with such simplistic solutions. 'Restart your router'...

Times are a changin...

Here's the line-up for this year's Evo Fighting Game Tournament:

• Super Street Fighter 4 (AE DLC if available in time)
• Marvel vs. Capcom 3
• Tekken 6
• BlazBlue Continuum Shift
• Mortal Kombat 9

I'd be surprised if HD Remix didn't get added, but otherwise this is a very interesting line-up and should be more interesting overall. Ed Boon can pretty much die knowing he got the last laugh.

Double checked, there is no HD Remix.

lol MK at evo

Very shocked that there is no HD Remix.

Or 3rd Strike for that matter, given it's upcoming online release.

3s been off the ticket for a while, I think.

I'll just put this here. Fighting gamer dame (and last year's EVO women's champ) Kayane interviews Namco's Harada about upcoming projects. She speaks French so her English is choppy, but there's subtitles.

OP updated with the main streams. AE pools began. MK going on in the second stream.

Anyone catching any of this? I've been watching off and on today. On right now

Caught some SSF4 stuff but that's it. More interested in announcements and Japs playing MvC3.

Watched the last few hours; will be watching tons throughout the weekend.

Watched off and on today, both the SSF4 and MK streams. Saw some good stuff.

OP updated with schedule. Sorry for late graphic.

Watching the MVC3 stream. Never seen so much Magneto and Sentinel.

They better get their jollies now...

Some 8 year old kid tearing it up.

Missed it. Would love to see youtube vids of it

He has supposedly won three matches on the stream today. The one I saw was against the dude running MODOK, Thor, and Viewtiful Joe, so I was kinda rooting against him. The kid was pretty predictable, but knew his combos and would beat the hell out of a lot of people.

lolllll

Seeing the chat next to the streaming is making my IQ go down.

Amazing kid.

justin wong

Yeah that was hot.

meanwhile, marn lost to like 4 different dark phoenixes and it looks like hes about to shoot up the place

cant blame him

Jesus Christ, Sanford Kelly just got raped. Pure and utter destruction.

actually, clockwork just got raped

He had kind of an amazing Doom earlier in the day. No idea where that went.

Fuck Phoenix, btw. Total bullshit character. Deserves every nerf she gets in Ultimate.
