♡ To the FGC Illuminati who always watches over us and makes sure we don't do bad things like raffles and go Esport.

♡ To the people helping run EVO, anything and everything leading up to it.

♡ To all the sponsors supporting this community and putting their dineros into the event.

♡ To all the players and people attending.

♡ To everybody who gives a crap about the community.

Much exite.

Wanna see a double win from Justin Wong (Killer Instinct and Marvel) and someone who is not from Japan to win SF4 for the third straight year. Preferably a North American or European player this time.

Cool thread kadey!

I'm not even sure why I get hype for Evo at this point since I don't even play anything... but then I realize I'm just being a sourpuss for no good reason. LET'S GO!!!

I'll be there. Come yell at me during the BBCP bracket or with the poverty anime game side tournaments in the BYOC area (where we can only afford to give away doujins and dakimakuras).

I thought EVO banned that practice after KoFXIII did it and artificially inflated the entrants with people who didn't even show up to play their matches.

That's what I thought too.

they just recently announced the t-shirt. They would have more entrants if they announced the t-shirt at the beginning.

True, but then you'd most likely reach the issue that was stated earlier.

That's probably why they announced AFTER registration was closed, lol.

Ah, well there you go!

I'm up for watching Ultra, Smash, KoF, and that Yatagarasu preview. Might also watch some BB and whatever else.

Hopefully I get the time.

I probably won't be the only one who pulls off an all nighter/sleeps for only 5 hours to watch EVO GFs for a couple of games come this week Sunday.
 
Great OT Kadey!

I'm super excited for my second Evo. Hope I get to meet more GAFfers this year and hope I can make it out of my Marvel pool and go at least 1-2 in USF4!

Good luck to all other GAFfers, and any FGC-GAFfers who want to get in some games, either PM me or tweet me and hit me up and everything should be good!

My schedule for EVO:

Friday: buy shit I don't need early, cheer/sidebet for my SF homies @ pools, spend too much time at the Aksys booth playing GGXrd and P4U2, go help out a buddy record his marriage proposal to his girl, get drunk.

Saturday: watch/sidebet UMVC3 pools, bop everyone in my pool until Scrubeks, don't go 0-3 against scrubeks, try to at least get out on losers side, casuals, MM against Honzo, get STUPID drunk.

Sunday: get chairs with the crew, plan the day out, go watch WC finals, try to watch at least the top 4 for Smash, kill my lungs during UMVC3/AE finals, get IDIOT drunk.

Great OT. I'm hyped that I'm going this year. I finally get to cross this off my bucket list.

Will there be an EVO meet up thread or just use this one?
