[Numb]

Great thread

Ready

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Woshige not going?

 

[ntropy]

 

[katsubento]

Great EVO OT Kadey!

 

[SephLuis]

This will be so hype. Cant wait to see SF V, Marvel and GG

 

[RecRoulette]

Sure the stream will be aces as usual, but I'm really curious how the in-person experience is this year because of the venue shift for finals day.

 

[Warxard]

Certainly, they existed.

Those blinded by pot money...

Those consumed with thuggery...

But here. They do not exist.

Only winners,

And losers here.

For here...The Mighty EVO!!!

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Why am I hype already

 

[Tripon]

Subbed. I'll be at EVO this weekend!

 

[Fandangox]

Looking forward to this.

 

[Moaradin]

I'm so ready

 

[Kyne]

ready.

let's fucking go.

 

[Zyrox]

Time for Daigo to reclaim his rightful throne. My body is ready.

 

[Neoxon]

So Capcom's actually advertising EVO 2016 within Street Fighter V.

As for me, I'm hyped for SFV, Mahvel, Smash 4, Melee, & Tekken 7.

 

[Zackat]

can't wait

 

[direct_quote]

Time for Daigo to reclaim his rightful throne. My body is ready.

Good joke.

 

[Kumubou]

Whoooooooooo, Evo time. I'm still getting ready to go myself... and probably will be for the next several hours. ;_;

Hopefully you goobers enjoy the Animevo streams.

 

[Numb]

Time for Daigo to reclaim his rightful throne. My body is ready.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

So excited to watch all the finals, and whatever else I can. Particularly hyped for KI and SFV, and tentatively for MAVHEL

 

[The 18th Letter]

Hopefully a Gief makes Top 8

[skLaFarebear]

Great OT Kadey

I'm working this weekend, but I'm gonna watch as much Melty, Ultimax, SFV, GG, Mahvel, T7, and KI as I can!

This game was made for EVO and Capcom Cup. Why would they not advertise it?

In ST

 

[foxuzamaki]

Oh man, oh man oh man, oh man not again

 

[papertoonz]

it is time

i actually get to watch it live this year so im very excited

 

[doemaaan]

Always hyped for EVO 🔥🔥🔥.

 

[JayEH]

Funny enough evo lands on the weekend right before I go out of town again this year. Perfect timing. Looking forward to SFV, GG, Tekken, and the KOF side tournament.

 

[jediyoshi]

woo bring on the grid

 

[RaySpencer]

Woah! KI prime time Saturday!? Usually its earlier in the day. Noice.


I miss having KOF at EVO too

 

[IronLich]

Missed out on being there for GAF last year. Taking part in a legendary EVO thread.

Inaugural year for Street Fighter V. Anything can happen, maybe even Justin/Daigo grand finals like with SF4.

 

[Romars202129]

Come on Haitani, I want to see a Necalli champion at EVO!
Also, man, couldn't they have given Ultimax one more year in the sun?

 

[notworksafe]

Going there once again, can't break my attendance streak!

 

[gigantor21]

Taking off work on Friday to immerse myself for all 3 days. The hype is real.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Come on Haitani, I want to see a Necalli champion at EVO!

Atlus put their money in the other fighter.

We just have to accept it's dead, especially with it's top 8 happening at the same time as SFV Top 32 RIP.

woo bring on the grid

Grid is banned.

Unfortunately, they also banned the best beach

 

[Numb]

woo bring on the grid

Banned!

 

[Neoxon]

This game was made for EVO and Capcom Cup. Why would they not advertise it?

To be fair, Capcom doesn't always do the obvious thing, so it's nice that they actually did this time.

 

[Unlucky]

I'm so excited :3

 

[HoodWinked]

holy shit have you guys seen this.

[Reverend Funk]

I hope we can get at least one american in sfv top 8

Banned!

So glad Grid is banned. I hated seeing it all the time, haha.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Dacidbro confirmed Catherine is happening, no word on a stream yet.
https://smash.gg/tournament/catherine-at-evo-2016

 

[Boogalogist]

Yes! Bring on EVO 2016! Unfortunately, I'll be in flight during SF V finals this year. T_T

 

[Romars202129]

Atlus put their money in the other fighter.

We just have to accept it's dead, especially with it's top 8 happening at the same time as SFV Top 32 RIP.

Put all our hope into a possible P5Arena! That series is outselling GG, so as long as persona team approved, I think we can believe!


Edit: Grid banned? Hell yeah. I don't even like playing on that drab shit.

 

[Augemitbutter]

can't wait.

 

[Xeteh]

I'm so bored! Evo hurry up and start!

 

[Sayad]

Great op, Kady. Just need to edit out the 9 after Hasegawa in the notable GG players list.

 

[SargerusBR]

Jesus, i didn't even remember it is this weekend already.

Rooting for my bois Tokido, Hungrybox and JWong.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Let's goooooo
