Last year I got to take Friday off and watch almost all of EVO

this year I only get bits and pieces, though at least I get Friday night, a good chunk of Saturday, and most of the Sunday finals (I'm skipping smash brothers)

There's probably some ways they can rejigger it to be less dumb but in Evo's defense seeding loving five thousand people in a tournament is an insane herculean task.

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

How was seeding handled for the 4900 people who don't have CPT points? Still sorted out by postal codes, I assume?

Here is a twitter list of Japanese people at EVO. Lots of pictures of burgers and bemusement at the size of our drinks at restaurants.

Also they misspelled the lanyards:

I'm kinda confused, so is SFV double-streaming until a certain point?

Pokken had like the 4th highest entrants after SFV and the smashes.

I don't think the SFV streams are going to be duplicates, if that's what you mean.

I'm surprised they pulled the trigger and finally pushed Marvel earlier in the day. Also lookin' forward to the CvS2 and KOFXIII side tourneys. Last years KOFXIII one was pretty good and I learned so much spanish.

Arcade Stream is streaming from their hotel room, looks like some Japanese players, though I don't recognize anyone outside of Kindevu aka The Golden Fatty:

Does anyone know of any other pre-evo streams? Is Churning the Butter still happening tonight?

Edit: Also, here's the stream for the pre-evo tourney Press Start holds, I don't know if anyone notable is showing up:

There was suppose to be a CvS2 tournament present at Combo Breaker. Unfortunately all that was there was an arcade cabinet with broken sticks. I hope there actually is a CvS2 tournament as the game was a lot to fun to play, broken stick and all.

"Hype" might be an exaggeration, but it's objectively 100x more interesting to watch than any Smash game. The game is new, most of the characters are viable at high levels, and there isn't a huge gap in the player base skill so most Top 32 matches at CEO were pretty close.

4 loving hours of Melee finals in 110 degree Vegas weather; I feel sorry for you poor bastards at the stadium.

Was it during Evo where Full Schedule had to switch to a stick without macros during Marvel and, during the few minutes it took to do so, the Games thread got multiple pages bitching for and against fight sticks with macro buttons? And Full Schedule still wrecked shop.
