EVO 2012 Thread 2 Because one thread wasnt enough to hold all the hype and the salt

I love how everyone raises the Rufus.
 
I don't. It looks like something I'd expect 5th graders to be doing. Seeing teens and twenty's do it is just...nope.



Do you get angry at people having fun in the street? Do you go to a sporting event and tell pepple not to chant? not to do the wave at a baseball park? do you hate fun?
 
If you're going for green avatars, might as well pick the Grinch instead of Hulk.

I hope you at least hate crowds at team sporting events too for consistency's sake.

Goddamn can't wait for Marvel. I really hope it's at 10:30am tommorrow like I planned, I have things to do and it shouldn't take more than two hours at the most, right?
 
Raising the Rufus?

I expect my hype to be of the sophisticated type, like ballet or theatre.

Umeshoryu? The correct response is a hush "my word, did you see that? The gentleman unleashed the beast."
 
What did I miss yesterday?
Give me the quick rundown.

Mexico > Japan (although Japan did quite well)
MODOK is secret high tier
Marlinpie, PR Rog, Fanatiq, Viscant, Abegen, Zak Bennent all exposed as frauds
Yipes is still a choker
Phoenix is still viable
Combofiend has been sandbagging with his old team just for EVO
F Champ is going to win EVO

Did I miss anything?
 
Chris G stared at the losing screen for Marvel for about 10 minutes, then got trolled by MODOK.

This is the only thing I'm still salty about other than Yipes getting knocked out. I actually don't really hate Chris and I actually respect his more aggressive Morrigan play now. But Chris G was already super mindfucked when Rubecks was on game point and if Rubecks had actually pulled out that win by just peacing out with Modok on the top of the screen that would have been incredibly delicious.

Dear god no.
 
Dear god no.

Outside of the game Champ is an ass and I really dislike him (I don't mind talking shit about how good other players are or not, but don't make it personal). But yesterday he was straight-up playing a completely different game than everyone else. I don't know if it was confirmed, but he supposedly didn't lose a single game all day yesterday and I'd believe it. He's definitely the favorite to win at this point by a pretty big margin.
 
Dear god no.

Imagine if that happens and PR Rog wins SF4. FGTV for at least one week or two is going to be about Champ getting on the mic and talking shit about everybody. I don't think I can sleep at night knowing that is going to happen even if I'm not watching it.
 
Champ is easily the favorite. Winners finals will probably be Flocker v FChamp. So if Flocker doesnt beat him there its over imo.





Having said that watch something crazy happen like the Modok player getting to grand finals
 
Marlinpie, PR Rog, Fanatiq, Viscant, Abegen, Zak Bennent all exposed as frauds
WTF is this lol.

Different brackets and these guys would've been in top 16 easily. Most of these guys have won something substantial and have placed constantly plus in the case of Zak + Abegen they consistently place in their respective regions. It's not even a question of skill with these players, might as well call Yipes and Clockwork frauds too.

Only fraud that was really exposed was OmgitzAndre.
 
Doesn't Sony sponsor them anyway? So I doubt we'll get Xbox for evo any time soon.

Anyway, I'm rooting for dieminion and Ooooooooo Goooooddddddddd dammmnnnnnnnnn

Sony doesn't sponsor Evo.

The reason everything is on PS3 is because when 360/PS3 first came out - they bought PS3's.

It's basically as simple as that. When you are running that many pools you need a lot of machines and no one trusted 360's not to red ring of death during a tournament. Plus given the variety of games at Evo - at the time the PS3 seemed like a safe bet. Historically Tekken had been a Sony exclusive title so the play station covered a lot of bases.

There is no grand conspiracy or sponsorship or anything like that. Evo needs a lot of game consoles to run the tournament and they bought a lot of PS3's to do so. Would cost a ton to replace them all with 360's.

I remember somewhere Wizard saying for next console generation they are open to whatever is the best for everyone.
 
F. Champ wins evo, donate to his raffle to win his prizes #kappa

Jk
not really
I'm just salty he never ran that royal rumble I donated to.

Champ has a good chance of winning it though simply because his team is good and it is a great counter to doomoriggan.
 
Here are my predictions for today! I would love to see Dieminion win AE, or even Poongko... But I don't think they will.

my prediction is that these predictions are ass ;)

no but for reals though, f.champ is gonna go undefeated. and gamerbee is not gonna get past dieminion. die's defense is too strong. and if daigo goes up against poongko then daigo is going to take it, but i think daigo will beat infiltration.
 
So what's up with the show floor today? Are they getting rid of everything to do seating for finals or are casual setups going to still be up?
