I'lll miss you Blaz Blue. For those that missed it...Galileo vs Dogura. Probably one of the longest emotional rides in EVO history.
Even Maximillian puts it up there as the #1 moment last year

Due to this moment last year, I will cheer for Galileo in whatever he appears in period forever.

I want to watch everything but realistically, due to time zones, I'd catch GGxrd, some of MKX, sleep, then wake up in time for SFIV finals. Might be able to watch Smash U on Saturday.

Don't really care who win what long as it's a good show.

I'll root for Galileo on principle after last year. I used to root for Combofiend when he competed...I got a weakness for clutch players. I was in tears watching the end of Blaz Blue last year. People in the audience were getting dizzy from holding their breath so much during all those moments. If anything ever happens that comes close to that again it'd be unbelievable.

EVO has amazing moments and I'm looking forward to them all.

I might not be going to EVO next year after all, but it would be to hit CEO instead.

Better experience, and it's what my "daughter" kinda wants to do instead. She prefers CEO to EVO.
 
Another EVO question!

So I just got the green light from my boss at Masgamers, the only gaming magazine(yes, paper!) still alive and kicking in Peru(been working for them for some years now writing FGC related stuff), to take their professional equipment(and tons of memory sticks) and bring it to Las Vegas with us and take pictures/capture everything we can/interview everyone we can(as Masgamers, and also as "Ajustando el Stick") and get paid in the process. Is it too late to ask for an EVO press pass?

Thanks in advance!

This EVO is just crazy. Red Bull salty suite, hundreds of thousands in the pot, 8 streams, appearances by major upcoming games, direct support from multiple publishes, Smash Bros., everything.

It's awesome to see the progression in the community. It always feels incremental every year but this year has really turned up quite a bit. I'm feeling the magic.

The progress has always been incremental, but I feel that it starts with Capcom/Sony's involvement this year which has raised the bar for others to get involved and put money into the scene and into EVO, along with hosting their own type of "cup" events like we just witnessed for MKX, along with outside entities like Redbull getting involved and other eSports organizations now sponsoring fighting game players as they dip their toes into the scene.

The amount of money in USF4 this year certainly raised the level of competition and the amount of foreign players traveling to compete. On the content side, the streamers working with EVO have been gradually improving what they bring us to enjoy along with Twitch as they continue to improve their backend services.

And it's only going to get bigger as new games come out in 2016 starting with SFV.

That's this a break down of, DLC?
Click to expand...
I am pretty sure it's how much money you have to spend getting all the versions of the games + getting all the characters in the game in its lifetime then divide that number by the number of characters in the game.

So for UMVC3 it's $60 + $40 + $10 (Jill + Shuma) / 50 = $2.20
