1. How much will it cost to get in the venue? 2. My favorite team is EG and I know of a few of there fighting game players (Ricky Ortiz, and Justin Wong) will they be in attendance? 3. What can I expect in terms of crowds? 4. Is there a site for fighting games similar to Team Liquid that I can check out before the event? Thanks if you can answer one or all of theese questions! Cheers! | ||

I just found out it will be taking place in Las Vegas the same time as I will be there. I researched a bit and found it will be at Ceasars Palace which is right across the street from where I'll be staying. I've never been to an epsorts event and even though I don't follow the fighting game scene at all I definetly want to check it out. I have a few questions though about the event that I'm hoping some of you guys can answer. 1. How much will it cost to get in the venue? 2.

It is completely free unless you want to watch the finals in person or attend every panel. Unfortunately, all Sunday finals passes are sold out. You can still watch the finals matches, just in an overflow room on a monitor. You will be able to watch all the non-finals matches in person. If you want, you can even play casuals and sit in at panels. 2. Hell yes. Everyone who is anybody and plenty more people will definitely be in attendance. This is THE tournament for the NA scene, and definitely on the radar for players in Japan. 3. According to UltraDavid, Evo last year was slightly bigger than the crowd at MLG Anaheim this year. Anaheim broke records (if you didn't know), and you can bet Evo will break them too. The crowd is going to be so hype. 4. Shoryuken.com for all your fighting game news. evo.shoryuken.com for the Evo page Go. Many many people would kill to have the opportunity you have. Use your vacation days, clear your schedule, and get hyped. | ||

At this point I think imma swap out my Goro for Beni or Yuri lol. Dakou and Xiaohai(arguably the best KoF player of all time) will be at EVO this year. And was it just me, or did Daigo's play look....off? He seemed to drop a lot of solar plexus links. Maybe all that book writing cut into his practice time. Hope for a better showing at EVO... | ||

Right now, games like BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, and Melty Blood are dying out and I am hoping that Persona 4 Arena will revive and unite the community which it probably will, however, as LordKnight put it, there is no real flagship for airdash fighting games in America and Persona 4 has the potential to do so. So please, if you love e-sports, sign the petition to allow Persona 4 Arena to be at MLG Original Post http://www.dustloop.com/forums/content.php?386-P4U-at-MLG Petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/persona-4-arena-for-mlg-2/ Lol I'm maining Rise if she's in that game. If not I guess Mitsuru hehe. | ||

I have not played Persona 4, but the setting gives me that Haruhi Suzumiya vibe, a world that is really weird, but something you really wish you could experience. | ||

Anyway, tonight James and I will focus First Attack and Lv3 Focus on Evo and the Evo experience. As always, we'll start at 8pm Pacific time and go until we feel done. You can watch it on our Twitch channel, which is http://twitch.tv/ultrachentv. We'll also upload the replays later to our YouTube channel at http://youtube.com/ultrachentv. On First Attack, which we try to keep to beginner and intermediate stuff in general, we'll be talking about attending and watching Evo for the first time, including playing tournament matches, playing casual matches, meeting people, what to do in Vegas when you don't have to play, what's gonna be on stream, how to watch certain things on stream or in person on finals day, etc. On Lv3 Focus, which tends to cater to intermediate to advanced level players, we'll be talking about the gameplay side of things, including what and who to watch for in the 6 Evo games, which are Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition v 2012, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, King of Fighters 13, Mortal Kombat 9, Soul Calibur 5, and Street Fighter x Tekken. We'll go over players to watch, trends to watch in games, rivalries, expected matchups, and so on. Hope you can all make it! Thanks! | ||

Excellent tournament, fucking horrible finals. I don't want in any way to belittle FChamp's achievement, I just want to say that Phoenix should absolutely be banned in tournaments. All these guys are very good players, that's undeniable. And at their level of play, Phoenix is just too damn imbalanced. Despite the commentators's effort to make it look like a fair match ("Oh now Dios X only has Sentinel against Dark Phoenix, but he can do it, Sentinel has the tools!"). What the fuck guys, why so hypocrites??? Do I need to remind you that Dios was playing Filipino Champ, you know, one of the best players in the scene. Do you really think one can do anything against FChamp's Dark Phoenix??????????????? Anyway, The Weskers, Vergils, and Zeros are nothing compared to the game-breaking ability of Jean Grey. I say ban Phoenix, the competition will get 10 times more interesting. | ||

I say ban Phoenix, the competition will get 10 times more interesting. There are very few things in fighting games that are ever broken enough to be banned. MetaKnight Smash was one of them (notice how all the top players used him?). If Phoenix was as broken, why aren't all the top players using her? If you've seen any of the top player's recent tier lists in UMvC3, you'd see Zero/Vergil as SSS+ rank and Phoenix below them. Why? She's an investment that happens to be a huge liability. She seems broken to less experienced players because they don't realize that you need certain setups and strategies to kill her once you snap her in. Conversely, you can just kill the rest of her team fast enough so that when the other 2 characters die, the Phoenix player only has around 3 meters (they nerfed meter gain in Ultimate remember?). Ultimately, she's an extremely high risk character with high reward, considering all the setups there are to kill her even when she turns dark. | ||
