Here’s some rough, amateurish video footage I shot way back when at Evo2k2. I’ll be posting more clips in the future.

Evolution 2k2 Fighting Game Championships held at UCLA in 2002. This was the last of the arcade-exclusive Evo2k events before they made the inevitable switch to console-only versions.
Video Info:
0:00: Geoff “Lukesballs” Arnold. AZ player and former Tips and Tricks Editor. Best goatee in the community hands down.
0:25: Jay “Viscant” Snyder: Voted Sexiest Male by the Street Fighter Community
0:39: Jim “Rekkaken” Sejas: Wild Ryu player. Former Marine. In that order.
0:54: The Cannons, Tony and Tom. Doing their thing even back then. They still dress like that to this day.
1:39: Jesse “Jumpsuit” Cardenas: Craziest Fei Long out there. I don’t think he could beat Dhalsim though. =)
2:20: Vincent Delpino: Crazy OG EC Gief player. I mean literally crazy. Nickname: “Walrus”. Friends with Jason “DreamTR” Wilson.
2:26: John “FlashG” Gordon (I think): EC 3s/ST OG. I don’t think he can beat dhalsim though.
2:28: Arturo “Sabin” Sanchez: All around SF pro from the Big City of Dreams. He’s the new Shirts in SSF4. In the conversation in this video, he brings up the mysterious name “PSi.” Beware of this guy.
2:52: Nicholas K. Inabnit (aka NKI): Who would have known this guy would become one of the most respected SF scientists out there. He also speaks Japanese like a Japanese person.
