Tekken all day Friday, Marvel and Injustice all day Saturday :rejoice

First one I haven't attended in almost a decade but I'll recreate the live EVO experience at home by drinking in the heat and not watching SFV

Out of what I watched, Guilty Gear, SFV, and Marvel have provided some pretty hype matches.  The worst is Injustice 2.  I keep flipping to the finals to see what's going on and it is :zzz.  So boring.

Marvel finals were fun to watch.  I dunno about BlazBlue though.  This slot should have been Guilty Gear.

Kazunoko picked Cammy's default outfit (the leotard)!  :lol ESPN and Disney crew probably lost their shit.  He switched to the CPT outfit in match two.

Street Fighter ended up with 235,000 viewers on Twitch and Youtube (they still need to get ESPN viewer numbers).  It was the most-viewed game this year.  Was it like this last year?  Can't remember.

Tekken top 8 was really goddamn good this year. Taisei came out of nowhere with that stylish Steve, there was some unique character choices with Eddy/Chloe/Eliza, and we got another one of a kind matchup with JDCR/Saint. Those dudes play each other all the time but you'll never see a more interesting Tekken match than when they play. The mindgames were unreal! AND THEN GEESE WAS REVEALED WHAT

Marvel was honestly a bit of a blowup. Lots of one sided matchups and it honestly felt like a down year skill-wise, but then again nothing can compare to 2014 top 8. Paradigm's matches were impressive and it was excellent to see Chris G get BTFO by a Southwest player. I even liked the MVCI exhibition after. Gamora sword skills look sick as hell. All in all a good send off to the game.

BB finals was when I was grilling up some food so didn't get to see much of that. The new BB tag game seems neat though, being able to potentially make a zoning hell team of Elizabeth/Rachel sounds fantastic.

Smash was solid. Some fun matchups in the mix and a nice variety of characters. Plus Zero didn't win and BAYO DID YOOOOOOOO!

Didn't watch SFV but the fans of it that did said it was amazing. I just can't be bothered with that game anymore but I'm glad people liked it.

All in all a good year. I'm sad I missed it in person but just thinking about the potential for next year has me already wanting to book tickets to Vegas. Tekken, DBZ, MVCI, Smash4, BB Cross, SFV, Injustice 2, and maybe one more game (ARMS or Splatoon?) sounds like a great potential lineup.

Yeah I figure Smash Switch will probably be a thing by then but also that it'll just be like Splatoon 2/MK8 Deluxe: kinda the same game but with a bunch of stuff added. Which is honestly fine by me, Smash 4 is a solid title and it'd be even better with 4-5 more characters added.

AW, YOU ONLY GOT SECOND PLACE AT THE BIGGEST TOURNAMENT OF THE YEAR.  :'(

It's not like I know the guy personally, but every time I see him on streams, he seems so smug and full of himself.  Even though he still hit second, I think he needed a loss like this to take him down a peg or two.  Same for whichever Japanese player it was who claimed he was going to own everyone in KOF XIV (IIRC) without practicing and then got knocked the fuck out.
