Anyway this question gets answered?

What's "The Game" at EVO? Like, the most important, biggest deal, etc?

Probably still Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition. That and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 are the two games with the largest number of entrants and international competition by huge margins, and SSF4:AE is the more popular of the two.
 
This make up for the subpar performance of Combofiend last year. :] I really want him to win EVO, but this tournament is one surprise after another so we'll see.

Dude Combo got 4th last year... that's hardly sub par. He also was eliminated by Justin Wong last year so he got his revenge.

Combo's been on a huge losing streak to Justin over the last 6 months too so this is a big one for Combo. I hope he takes the whole thing.

So good.

I'm too high off this Combofiend win.
 
Guys I've been watching this for like 10 hours straight today and I don't even like fighting games all that much. This stuff is super engrossing though, especially when the crowd gets into it. It's 1 in the morning here and my eyes hurt but I want to keep watching. Idk whats going on anymore.
 
Last time they played he bodied Wong hard though, IIRC.

They both need to be on top of their game though. The hunger needs to be there.

I might be crazy but I think I'm picking Chris G he's probably at an all time high after coming back and winning that last match.
 
I swear the most common character I've seen in marvel is vergil and spencer
Tournament statistics for Ultimate Marvel in general puts Wesker as twice as much as the next common characters Magneto and Doom. After that is Wolverine then Vergil.

For EVO it has been different but it's still just one tournament.
 
Abegen lost in Winners/Losers finals in his pool (Shady ran him back in losers) :(

Actually he didn't. Abegen lost in loser semi of his pool.

It was Jan vs ETR in winner finals, Abegen vs Shady in loser semi.

Jan wins so ETR goes to loser finals.
Shady beats ABegen goes to loser finals.
Shady beats ETR in loser finals of their pool.


Then Shady went on to get DQ for reporting to the wrong pool station.

That data's also including a lot of old tournaments, though. Weskers are showing up less and less in Top 8s as time goes on. (Wasn't he 0/24 in a recent tournament?)

Ah, thanks- I only caught the end when I got home earlier.
