[QUOTE="God's Beard!";52324167]To be fair, EVO 2011 was better on every point you brought up than last year. Rooms were closer, hall was bigger, more BYOC and everything.[/QUOTE]
Hopefully the bigger venue this year helps.

EVO seems more like a convention/tournament now.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Just like Youmacon!
Going to have to agree with 645 on EVO being kinda lackluster last year. Yeah, it was rad to play against Biz/645/Beard and other people, but I was really looking forward to just sitting down and kicking it in different rooms against other random people.
I'm still going to EVO this year but I'm really looking forward to TFC (Team Fortress Classic!?!) and other tournaments around my area more than EVO this year.

I passed up on EVO for a new computer. Maybe I'll just go to NCR seeing that I have to take classes during the summer. But NCR last year looked pretty boring. But then again SFSU is a pretty nice school, so there has to be stuff to do later.

How do you feel about the mentality of American top players compared to the rest of the world?
As a player, gamer and FGC Illuminati member, what do you want out of the next generation of fighting games? Features, standards, be as vague or specific as you want.

Did you watch SFxT Finals or was it too early in the morning? That shit was some hype!
I went to EVO for my first time last year and its gone in the direction of being a large convention now. I had fun, but the for the amount of money that I spent, I would have had a better time on the east coast.
I wish more events had BYOC areas, or even a 24/7 area to play games at. It's cool going from room to room sometimes, but I rather be in a ballroom than up in somebody's hot ass room trying to get games in.
What sucked about Caesars last year was there was very little space for BYOC setups, and you'd see people in the hallway trying to set stations up until security would come by and make them stop. And who really wants to walk miles to go to a room to play or to another hotel in that hot ass Vegas heat.
When SC is back at EVO, I'll go back, but I'm really looking forward to TFC. I think the FGC is going to blow up Raleigh.

@TheChrisGlass: This is as good a time as any to announce I changed jobs this week. I'm now working on the Steam port of Skullgirls. No fooling.

The reason why a lot of those games are above fighting games is because they're PC games that people just sit and play all day with streams of the game on as background noise. Not saying that "Oh, those numbers don't matter and yadda yadda" but fighting game streams are kinda different. I think fighting game streams have a much higher rate of active engagement.

I actually agree with you about the active engagement. Fighting gamers in general seem to talk to their chat more than any other streamer, even when not playing fighting games. I check out other chats and they are pretty dead even with way more viewers.

Yeah, I think I recall one of the Twitch guys saying that SF4/MvC3 blow up huge during notable events, but that usually only happens a few days out of the month.

Are there any/many fg streams that are basically always on and always playing fighting games?
The PeacefulJay type streams?

Rolando's the man in charge, not Triforce.

Because Rolando and Triforce are the same kind of crazy, only Rolando's dad hooked him up with a cushy job.

Check out the fighting game community page on twitch.
The real answer is that no one really knows for sure.Ah ok. I wasn't sure if I didn't know because I hadn't kept my eyes & ears open and attentive enough or if I didn't know because NOBODY knew. Hearing it's the later makes me feel a bit better

I think players will always feel entitled to something. Regardless their stature as a top player or not. I just think it's stupid and hope they don't think someone is out to "get them" lol.
Too much to say. I'll answer this some other time.
Most likely!
I like 2/3 for the viewer but prefer 3/5 as a player. Torn!
Rich was talking to me about it last night. He is not scared of anyone (including Japanese) !
I think it should be cleared with organizers first. Last thing we want is situations like now.
No opinion. It is what it is.
I was there! It was so good that it woke me up! I bought a CORN shirt on the spot tho.
Loved it all.
I like spooky, he used to take up boxing.
Depends on what Kadey wants!
Yes. I will come out of competitive retirement for this game. Hope I do better than 9th at the national tourney!
Hidden gem.
Tuesday at midnight PST!

Well if somebody would shout as out every now and then....
I know you said you have more to say about next gen, but bonus round question is fighting games + f2p? Inevitable future and something the fgc/casual players/madcatz have to adjust to and plan for or something to be avoided at all costs?
