In non-Evo news, French Bread finally did it:

They defeated the hateful BlazBlueArcSys by getting an actual rematch option into a game they (co)developed.
 
Marvel normally gets its own night. I wasn't even expecting any Marvel last night until I read the stream banner.

Well this wasn't Marvel's night. You can't expect to get pampered when you get like one fourth of the numbers of the main game.

The reason Super Arcade ran SF and UMVC3 together is to drive a huge burst of business before the arcade renovations. But it's a little difficult to run a tournament close to major numbers in one night already. It was 3 in the morning before they even had a top 8. My guess is Kapwan and Valle were more concerned with finishing everything and getting people out of there than potentially extending the tournament even longer...for the sake of catering to a marvel minion audience.

Secondly, aren't you the guy who proudly proclaimed that Marvel will never die as long as it gets entries at majors? Look, Marvel can get whatever entries, but that doesn't mean it's always guaranteed it's own night or it's own time slot or whatever. I think people who truly want to keep the game alive need to realize that.

I missed the boat on photoshopping requests didn't I?
There's still several people on the list of unfulfilled EVO avatar requests. I've been kind of busy but I'm going to try to do some of them tonight, or maybe someone else can hook you up. I can add you to the list. Any special request?

Edit: Anyone who requested an avatar who is not on the list, check back in the thread to see if someone made you one (if so I took you off the list). Otherwise it's an oversight; post and I'll add you to the list.

I've only recently begun to pay attention to UNIB, and I must say I really want to play it.

Now I hear that it'll have full setups at EVO, no less. Damn, now I'm starting to regret not going.

Eh, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax isn't too bad for me.
It's coming in during smaller games like Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call and Hyrule Warriors, which I'll probably get through in like a weekend or a week.
Super Smash Bros is pretty close, but at least it's not sandwiched among the RPGs in late October/November.

I think I might make a thread about this, but it is really hard to balance competitive multiplayer gaming and single player experiences.

Persona does a good job of keeping the two separate.

To me, a bad job is when you have to play SP content to access MP content- like SFIV Vanilla or Soul Calibur games.

Will the new Persona have a community or am I smarter to just wait for Guilty Gear? I liked the boxer (don't know shit about Persona) in the first one but didn't play it much since I heard it was dead pretty quickly.

I thought you learned that during your last alcohol influenced romp through console war threads, horse!

I didn't insulted anyone directly that time, I acted like a complete jerk, it's different

EDIT: thinking about it, insulting people may be acting like a jerk....don't worry mods, I learned my lesson, that was a rough week on the streets

get some go again
so who won marvel at wnf yesterday? they never updated the bracket. it was chris g vs paradigm. i'm assuming chris g won since he came from winners and it was chris g who put paradigm in losers.
