I'd like to go to EVO, but Giby scared me with all the talk of people smelling like shit. That, and if I was in Vegas, I'd probably want to be anywhere else other than in a cramped room with a bunch of smelly nerds playing video games.

oh shit I heard FlashMetroid didn't make it out of pools..... bad day For FL since he's pretty much the best in the area.

I got to see him destroy people in Orlando a month or two ago... his Viper is pretty sick... I hear he lost to a random Honda/

Welcome to just about any other convention or function that attracts people. If I had a dollar for every, buy a bar of soap or take a shower joke thrown around at cons, I could run my own. I know a couple of conventions actually have it in the convention rules for people to practice good hygiene, but I've never seen anybody get kicked out because they reeked of ass.

Watched a really good T.Hawk player on the steam this afternoon, not sure if he advanced far. How many folks came from outside the US? I saw Daigo was there, but did Mago come too? Didn't see his name on the list. I saw a few Korean players, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do this year.

Is there a point in going to EVO if you aren't competing?

I'm gonna be in Vegas very briefly this weekend. EVO (the fighting game competition) is going on at Caesar's Palace.

Is there any reason I should go check it out? Or is it just a bunch of dudes waiting for their turn to play?

If I still lived there - I'd be down with just hanging out and watching people play (if they're good). But - I'm gonna be strapped for time...

I NEED THE INSIDE SCOOP


(Like the one time I decide to make a thread - as soon as I make it I find the evo thread. Dammit. I'll go read it.)

Man, Sabin's dhalsim looks very annoying and tough to fight against. His control of space is scary. So far I am impressed. Tokido lost to JR in an akuma mirror match. It was unexpected.

This is a gross generalization. I've been to plenty of conventions where people didn't smell like 3 week old cheese. That said, I still could think of plenty of other ways I'd like to spend my time in Vegas.

I do not envy the fire marshal sent to inspect that ballroom...

The only reason I'd go to something like Evo is meeting people I know from here --the idea of going to Vegas only to sequester myself in a convention room that (as been described by past attendees) has people with questionable personal hygiene sounds sort of bleh. I love Vegas too much and I'd be too busy hemorrhaging money, and I don't even gamble.

Now, we've thrown around the idea of having a sort of International Neo Gathering in Vegas at the same time Evo which does have the benefit of appealing to people who are already going to Evo as well as people who would want to meet up with Neo people and just go enjoy the fun parts of Vegas. We could pool money to get a nice suite somewhere as a game room and sort of call it the NG.com Hospitality Suite and have a nice casual environment.

Booze. Neo. Vegas.

Is the demo the same one from E3, or are there more characters? I wasn't sure if they were going to debut the new batch at EVO or at Comic Con next weekend.

It's the same roster that was at E3. While it's awesome that Capcom is showing it off at EVO, I knew they wouldn't debut anything new for it just before Comic-Con.

Stefan how about not stealing this shit off srk and giving some credit to the original posters? Who is gonna know your top 32 was c and p'd right off the outcome thread? I am not being a dick, because I am not sure if you've thought far ahead to know what you're doing, but if I was on the receiving end, i'd be at least annoyed.

Right. I'd love to meet up with everybody in Vegas. I would throw some money in the pool as well. I would sort of just want to hang out, though. Get to know people, converse, grab a bite to eat, and maybe drinks afterward.

If we happen to walk past a big red with Samurai Shodown II, then so beat it..

That Jason Cole vs. Daigo match in HDR was the best one I've seen so far.
