It's all streamed live here: http://stickam.com/evo2k It's done for today though. The finals for every game take place tomorrow

There's a great mix of characters in the finals. And there's no Sagats

That was amazing. I can't believe J.Wong with those random ultras early on.

Your friend was eliminated hours and hours ago.

The last couple of hours were the top losers bracket/winners qualifying matches.

He definitely didn't seem serious that first match.

Beezy · « **Reply #1091 on:** July 11, 2010, 12:12:33 AM »

The finals are tomorrow. 8 players left. You seriously thought your friend would make it that far?

Purple Filth · « **Reply #1092 on:** July 11, 2010, 12:12:47 AM »

Yea he got destroyed.

Vangief started it and Gamerbee finished it.

I guess its time for Money Matches now.

bork · « **Reply #1093 on:** July 11, 2010, 12:14:12 AM »

I loved the fuck out of that stream because of Vangief (SHUT THE FUCK UP, "sticks are better" peeps-- dude was using a STOCK PS3 CONTROLLER, too

) and Gamer Bee (finally fucking SOMEBODY using a new character and kicking ass) mostly. Shizza just struck me as "okay." A pad Chun player I can certainly identify with, but I dunno...maybe I'm being too harsh. Expected better.

But yes, Wong getting knocked the fuck out was the highlight by FAR. It also means he doesn't get any of the prize money (since you have to be top

and doesn't get a gold EVO stick from Mad Catz.

Nothing better than seeing the U.S. players with huge egos getting PWNED.

There were no Cammy players in the final matches. It was Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Rufus, Honda, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Juri, Guile, Zangief, Viper, Abel, and Adon IIRC.

Yeah. That trash talk Justin did in the Alphaism podcast came back to bite him.

He went Hollywood. Left Empire. Put people on blast, Art included. Bragged about not needing to practice, etc.

Ouch

There was just 400+ viewers on the Adon forum a minute ago.

I wonder who Daigo will face in the finals

I was hoping Tatsu and Tokido would do better too, especially Tokido. His Akuma is so sick. Would have been nice if more big name international players showed up too, like Mago, Nuki, and Poongko. I bet Nuki is going to be tearing shit up now that Chun is one of the top characters.

It's funny how many people don't realize that the PLAYER HIMSELF is just as important as the character being used. OH SHIIIIII A DUDE USING ADON BODIED WONG WE ALL GON' TAKE UP ADON NOW N KICK ALL DAT ASS.

They'll be back on their flowchart shotos again soon enough.

bork · « **Reply #1106 on:** July 11, 2010, 01:32:43 AM »

I don't follow the fighting game community at large and really don't know much about the top players, but Wong's behavior at the Gamestop SF4 tourney is what made me think his ego was too big and that he was kind of a dick. I'm sure a lot of others feel the same way, but in the end it's really just about seeing the top guys getting taken down. If someone knocks Daigo out of the top 8 tomorrow, people will be going even crazier. And nobody thinks Daigo has anyone kind of attitude problems.

Yeah, been watching this. Gamerbee BEATING DEY ASS again.

I'm just rooting for anyone besides Daigo to win. I want to see someone new come in and fuck up the established hierarchy they have going on. And things are definitely looking up.

Shit is hilarious, mayne. I mean, it reminds me of what I heard about 3rd Strike back in the early 2000s, when people started playing the Japanese players and they got their asses handed to them; the J-players were doing all sorts of stuff that none of the American players had any clue about.

Only this time it's a Taiwanese guy using a character that none of these "high level" dudes ever bothered to learn properly.

Vangief = PAD PLAYER
GAmerbee = ONLY PLAYS ONLINE, YET IS KICKING EVERYONE'S ASS

Is a new era upon us? Gotta throw up a disclaimer since I obviously don't know these people personally, but there's a number of people in the fighting game community that seem to have gotten HUGE egos and have their heads up their asses, and they are getting a dose of reality at this tournament. It's a good thing.

Hey, the local shop had a 12,000 yen Hori stick and a 7,000 yen one. Both Hori, one was FS and the expensive one was "Pro" and littered with Tekken character art. Is there really a difference in stick build quality from the same manufacturer?

Yes, Hori Real Arcade Pro sticks use Hori's best parts. The HRAPs labeled as SAs are even better because they have even higher quality Sanwa sticks and buttons.

I was just talking about SF4 really. And Super Turbo... HDR isn't even available in Japan.

Daigo's main competition (Mago) dropped down a peg or two after Sagat got toned down so much.

You act as if Daigo and crew couldn't get the game using an American account.

Did you see the matches? Daigo picked Balrog (mirror match) and it was close, but he lost every time. Then in the last round he got perfected. Crazy shit.

And in the end, A PAD GIEF PLAYER WON.

Not really SSF4 related, but my man Zangief just took the HDR tourney!

I've always just played who I liked though. I don't care about tiers but it is good to know who people consider to be the best and worst in various games.

iconoclast · « **Reply #1123 on:** July 11, 2010, 10:07:39 PM »

Yeah I was watching. I'm sure Daigo doesn't play much if any SF2 these days, but it's still no excuse. He got outplayed whether he has knowledge of the new version or not.

It was nice to see Snake Eyes win. First Gief winner in EVO history I think. I like seeing people come out of nowhere with a character that people usually pass over, like Gief in HDR, Adon in SSF4, or even Makoto in SF3. And Kuroda wrecks fools with Q too.

Hakan will always suck though

Pad Chun player Shizza is out of the SSF4 final eight. He had an awesome comeback win after getting his ass kicked to go to another match set, but Infiltration just destroyed him.

I know the guy is obviously AWESOME and they say he's the best Chun in the States, but watching that match...there was stuff he could have been doing better. Bu it's certainly easier to criticize than it is to actually play.

Now let's watch Gamerbee's Adon own Henry Cen's Honda...

Thanks! I'll commit "HRAP" to memory and see about picking one up. I've been trying to play on standard controller, and I'm even more useless than I'd feared.

It's true. Two extra characters really are coming. My bets are on them being either Elena and Rolento or R. Mika and Rolento.

Would really like to see Alex in the game but that's not happening.

It's only gonna be 2? I thought people were saying 6 or 7?
