FIRST ANNUAL NEOGAF FGW EVO 2015 PREDICTION COMPETITION!
I am personally holding NeoGAF's first ever EVO prediction contest. I will be listing a bunch of questions and you have to predict as many as you can. The person who gets the most points gets awarded
$20 by me personally!
Here are the questions (finals/top 8 means finals including all days):
1) How many US players will be in the top 8 of Persona 4, Tekken 7 and GGXrd combined?
4, 1 for P4, 1 for T7 and 2 for GG.
2) How many US players will be in the top 8 of USF4?
2
3) How many gods will be in the top 8 of UMVC3 (gods are Justin Wong, FChamp, ChrisG)?
All three will be in.
4) How many players will cry on stage (whether tears of joys or tears of sadness)?
4
5) Will Ono appear in a cosplay? If so then which character? (getting the 2nd question right will award you bonus points)?
Ono will cosplay as SFV Ken.
6) How many different characters will we see in the top 8 of USF4 (counter picks included)?
11
7) How many different characters will we see in the top 8 of UMVC3 (counter picks included)?
17
8) How many different characters will we see in the top 8 of both the Smash games combined (counter picks included)? [Same characters from the two different games count as different characters so if there's a Fox in a Smash 4 top 8 and a Fox in Melee top 8, that counts as two separate characters as they are different games]
See this post for a better explanation.

20) FINAL QUESTION: Who will win EVO for each individual game?

Melee - Mango
Smash 4 - Zero
Tekken - Saint
MKX - Sonic Fox
GG Xrd - Dogura
Persona - Banana Ken
KI - Rico Suave
I'm not familiar with Persona or KI scenes.
Getting a regular question right will give you 5 points. Getting a bonus question right will give you 3 points. Final question is worth 3 points per game you get right.
In the event of a tie, the questions that involved guessing with numbers will be used as tie breakers (ie. who got the closest to the guesses across all questions).
You can post your responses in FGW or you can PM me your answers. Deadline is before the start of EVO 2015.
