Punk and du embody the new generation. It's good to see the younger people pick up the thing you love, grandpa Chen really is the best nickname for James

Better than Melee tho
I like Injustice and even liked the finals but they weren't great.

EVO's like the Olympics. We bitch endlessly in the runup to it about how everything sucks and it's gonna be trash, then it happens and everything's awesome and wonderful and great, then it ends and the next day we're back to saying the whole thing blew.

Can't wait for next year to do it all over again.

It was the weakest GF set besides maybe Melee. Smash 4 had a Bayo clutch it out last stock last game, KOF also had a great clutch play to give ET the win, Marvel was kinda uneventful but a fuckin' Chun won it all, SFV had MURDAFACE literally destroy a young man's soul and Blazblue was a very close set that also went last round last game.

No mention of Tekken? I wasn't particularly exhilarated with its grand finals, SFV was hype af in comparison.

Ah, T7 was decent if not especially exciting because Knee, Saint and JDCR are kinda superhuman at Tekken and it's stupid to see them play.

Hey so this evo made me feel things and made me want to get back into sfv after having a hot and heavy month and a half with it before putting it back down.

I'm moving to chicago in a couple weeks, seems like a good opportunity to check out the scene, but I'm really a newbie to the whole thing. Any resources I should check out or do I just google "fighting games chicago"

you should check out, at minimum, the SFV top 8, Marvel top 8, Guilty Gear top 8, and Smash 4 Grand Finals. Not sure about tekken, blazblue, kof, injustice, and others since I didn't watch those
