I hope somebody brings a Hugo. That is the kind of stuff that could be very hard to stop without the matchup knowledge.

Anybody to look out for there?

Mike Ross has got you covered. Believe!

yo we got sports and esports

 

[nicoga3000]

Going to do all the yard work tonight and tomorrow so I don't have to do anything this weekend but veg and watch people play video games! I'm probably going to just setup my Roku with the Twitch channel and hang in the living room. A+

For those wanting to meet up

When I got here yesterday they asked what floor I wanted to be on. I assume everyone else will have that same luxury, so if we all hit the same floor meet ups and sessions will probably be that much easier.

I'm on 21.

The other thing is that the elevator splits between 15 and 16+, so at least get something on the higher end so we're not elevator hopping a lot.

 

[Wunder]

If there is an EVO-GAF meetup happening, I'd love to come along as well!

I'm coming all the way from Australia however, so I don't have a USA phone yet. Happy to get PM'd details if it's happening

me too! Getting in on Thursday evening, meeting up with some friends but would be totally down for meeting some GAFfers on one of the nights.

 

[Fersis]

I wish Kayo Police would come to Evo

I wish Magus1234 would come to Evo

 

[kevo_huevo]

man, that would be awesome if k-brad could make it to top 8 with decapre. it would put a lot more faith in that character for the current decapre players too.

 

[ldcommando]

Does momochi count as a decapre player? I liked what I saw from him at that last tournament.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I wish Kayo Police would come to Evo

Is she confirmed not coming?

Also, do they stream/archive the panels at all? I want to watch that indie game dev one but it's right during my Melee pool and when I might be doing lunch with the PersonaGAF crew.

Is CORN | Alucard going? If so, he's your guy.

Jibbo has already said he's not going because he doesn't like SF4 that much and Hugo isn't good enough for top 8 to be likely.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is she confirmed not coming?

Oh, no idea. She hasn't been to the last few, so I just assumed.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

AV Club put out a viewers guide to Evo

I think Sabin is streaming/recording the panels.

 

[Spuck-uk]

Mostly footsies and space control, Fei Long can keep her out better than most characters, and long as she can't start her game, Fei's footsies are so much better.

This set between Fuudo and Haitani shows it pretty well:

Awesome, thanks.

 

[avengers23]

If I want to watch but don't want to chat, do I need to subscribe to the streams?

Also, I'm slightly disappointed there's no Divekick this year, but I understand.

No. Watching is free. The cash is for emotes, chat and 720p quality, I think.

I'll keep that in mind and see if I can convince my roommate to get the room in that area

 

[OceanBlue]

Are there any decent Guy players left? Sometimes I feel like i'm the only one still playing him T_T

Marq Teddy, Aru, and Kiyomatsu are going to EVO. I thought Nox was going but I haven't seen him on a bracket so I don't know about him.

 

[miggsthejust]

Hey, can anyone who is there already let me know what kind of hookups the room TV's take and if they are accessible? I want to make sure I bring the right cables.

Thanks

I wish Kayo Police would come to Evo

Aris / Kayo 2011 was hilarious.

 

[Noaloha]

Speaking of which, I'm gonna make a contentious claim and I'm wondering if it holds any water: the Golden Age of Evo Salty Suites is over. Horseshit or no?

 

[antibolo]

I wonder how much of Tekken's low attendance numbers can be attributed to the game being played on Xbox this year.

probably a decent amount

lots of tekken players play on pad

Salty Suites in general seem to be a bygone thing unless hosted by the event or a dedicated streamer like art. The novelty may have given in to the work involved, especially after a long day.

I wonder how much of Tekken's low attendance numbers can be attributed to the game being played on Xbox this year.

Some games are still being played on ps3, Tekken is one of them.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I think Sabin is streaming/recording the panels.

Just asked him on Twitter but no response.

Vulva, hit me up in PM or on Twitter tomorrow if you want to get games in. Same goes to Professor Beef, Q, Shouta, and any other GAFfers who want some USF4 games on Thursday.

 

[antibolo]

Yeah it's a damn shame. The Tekken scene is already struggling, and this does not help.

Their "Xbox over PS3 when available" policy this year is dumb because it should have only applied to Capcom games, which are really the only ones that are better on Xbox. For any other game there's no point in doing this, their respective scenes will typically be more PS3 based, especially at the international level (KOF might be hurt by this as well).

 

[Retro_]

is the arcana heart 3 love max!!!!! side tourney going to be streamed? Who's gonna handle it in that case

I was hoping nycfurby would be

 

[BY2K]

So... prediction time:

USF4: Infiltration

Injustice: Chris G

 

[cHaotix8]

I get in tomorrow at around 10am PST. Hit me up if any GAF meetings are going down!

 

[Sayad]

Oh, no idea. She hasn't been to the last few, so I just assumed.

I blame Aris.

 

[sinxtanx]

So... prediction time:

Smash: aMSa

I'd be happy for Cloud_805 if he takes Marvel. I just love his Dante too much.

 

[El Sabroso]

KI: Justin Wong
Smash: Javi

Spoiler

Marvel: F Champ
BBCP: Not Lord Knigth

 

[El Sloth]

When I was his age, I was already downloading stuff like Seasons of Sakura and Three Sisters Story. (And I'm probably dating myself there. :x) I would bet he has a download folder gigs deep with everything from Alicesoft to Lilith Soft.

I had to google what these were. Old man!

 

[TWILT]

I'd be happy for Cloud_805 if he takes Marvel. I just love his Dante too much.

Same here. He's one of the very few (if not, only) Zero player I like.

 

[ec0ec0]

Smash: m2k puff

 

[SloaneRisette]

I like Smedwicks to take Marvel

 

[Beckx]

I like Smedwicks to take Marvel

Take it where?

 

[Dai101]

KI: Tio Valle
MAHVEL: DJ Huoshen (yeah...... will never happen though)

I don't care for the rest

 

[SloaneRisette]

Take it where?

Take it to 0-2

 

[Retro_]

Take it where?

Out back to finish it off

 

[SloaneRisette]

Out back to finish it off

That's a better answer than the one I gave, good job.
