$20 trick? Pfft, they upgraded my room to a suite for free! :3

The open hot tub is weird as all fuck, though.

I'll probably be at the anime suite tonight. I wonder if they will let me in free with a Melty setup.

Yeah I just saw that, but Melty is a little weird since it needs PCs and not PS3s. I'll try it, since I was asked by other players there. The worst that happens is that they make me pay $10 and shove me in the
giant
closet with the other Melty players.
 
I like Smash, but this made me giggle so hard.

Here's mine. There should have been a bonus question asking who you think will finish first in the poll. ;P

My pick is Enzo!

FIRST ANNUAL NEOGAF FGW EVO 2015 PREDICTION COMPETITION!

I am personally holding NeoGAF's first ever EVO prediction contest. I will be listing a bunch of questions and you have to predict as many as you can. The person who gets the most points gets awarded $20 by me personally!


Here are the questions (finals/top 8 means finals including all days):

1) How many US players will be in the top 8 of Persona 4, Tekken 7 and GGXrd combined?
6



2) How many US players will be in the top 8 of USF4?

3) How many “gods” will be in the top 8 of UMVC3 (gods are Justin Wong, FChamp, ChrisG)?

4) How many players will cry on stage (whether tears of joys or tears of sadness)?


4


5) Will Ono appear in a cosplay? If so then which character? (getting the 2nd question right will award you bonus points)?

Yes, that hinted new character with dreads from Comic-Con.



6) How many different characters will we see in the top 8 of USF4 (counter picks included)?

12



7) How many different characters will we see in the top 8 of UMVC3 (counter picks included)?

20



8) How many different characters will we see in the top 8 of both the Smash games combined (counter picks included)? [Same characters from the two different games count as different characters so if there's a Fox in a Smash 4 top 8 and a Fox in Melee top 8, that counts as two separate characters as they are different games]

12




See this post for a better explanation.

9) How many fatalities will we see in the top 8 of MKX?

Does it count if somebody does it and the stream cuts away? If so,



10


10) Will Tekken x SF be at EVO? If yes then name two characters that they will unveil at the event (getting the 2nd question right will award you bonus points).


No.



11) Which game will have the highest stream numbers at EVO in a top 8? Bonus question: Which game will have the lowest stream numbers in a top 8? (cannot specify same game for both in order to increase your changes to get at least one right)

Highest: Marvel because of time slot.
Lowest: Persona because of Friday night.



12) How many players will appear in more than one top 8 at EVO?

3



13) How many grand final bracket resets will there be at EVO?
4




14) Will there be more Season 1 or Season 2 characters in Killer Instinct top 8? Bonus question: By how much?

Season 2. By 3 characters.



15) How many different countries will be represented in the top 8 of USF4?

3



16) Which game will have the longest top 8 runtime? Bonus question: Which game will have the shortest run time in top 8? (Cannot specify same game for both in order to increase your chances to get at least one right)
Longest: Melee.
Shortest: Tekken 7




17) Will any player make a repeat win at this year’s EVO from last year?

No.



18) Will there be a brand new fighting game announcement at EVO? Bonus question: If so then what will it be?

No.



19) At what time will EVO finish at (rounded to the nearest hour) on the final day?

12AM PST



20) FINAL QUESTION: Who will win EVO for each individual game?


Ultra SFIV: Momochi
UMVC3: ChrisG
Melee: Hungrybox
Smash 4: ZeRo
MKX: Pig of the Hut
KI: Shinpaulo
Tekken 7: JDCR
GG Xrd: Ogawa
P4AU: Souji





Getting a regular question right will give you 5 points. Getting a bonus question right will give you 3 points. Final question is worth 3 points per game you get right.

In the event of a tie, the questions that involved guessing with numbers will be used as tie breakers (ie. who got the closest to the guesses across all questions).

You can post your responses in FGW or you can PM me your answers. Deadline is before the start of EVO 2015.

Is there a list anywhere of known combos for the characters in the SF5 beta?

Somewhere in one place where I don't have to sift through giant SRK threads would be nice.

Anyone know if the SFV beta applies to Amazon.ca or only Amazon.com?

From IGN - http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/23/capcom-details-how-to-enter-the-street-fighter-5-beta

In North America (Canada and the United States), beta keys can be obtained by pre-ordering Street Fighter V from GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, and the PlayStation Network. An email containing a key from the respective retailer will later be sent out starting July 20.

I'd assume that amazon.ca does work.
 
Ain't got time for the full prediction, but here's my 30 seconds predictions!

Ultra SFIV: Not USA
UMVC3: USA
Melee: USA
Smash 4: USA
MKX: USA
KI: USA
Tekken 7: Not USA
GG Xrd: Not USA
P4AU: Not USA
 
Onemic said:
It doesnt say whether it's just Amazon.com though. Asking because Amazon.com clearly outlines that pre-ordering gets you into the beta, while Amazon.ca doesnt show anything at all.

Yeah, I tried looking around online and there's no definitive answer. Most people are just assuming that since they mention Canada and amazon that amazon.ca would work, but its not 100% sure.
 
Here are my guesses.

Hey GAF i've recently been interested in starting to play some fighting games as I like competitive games and it's basically the only competitive genre I haven't put time into. Coincidentally Ultra Street Fighter 4 is currently free this weekend on steam and on sale, so I figured it's a good chance to try it out. What's the recommended introduction to the game for someone completely new?
