HOnestly thinking about getting inflatable dolls so when I do leave Smash I can tape them to the seats so no one is allowed to sit there and the people behind me still have a shit view.
As someone from Canada, I have to say when I hear about people who live in Vegas (or especially near-ish to the venue) saying/not going to EVO I get kind of like “wait, what?”. I mean man, if I lived within driving distance of EVO, I’d have gone to the last 5 in a row.
Wish I was going this year. I want my run back against Dark Jiewa. :nunchuck:
Fuck 8am pools tho.
This will be the first EVO I’ll be missing since EVO2012. I’ll be in Vegas next week to visit family. I ain’t flying back there a few weeks after lol. I ain’t paying another $1k just for a round trip flight to Vegas to play at EVO.
you only have to judge for like four hours? maybe 4% of the time you spend in vegas? and then you get an ok shirt (too gaudy for my tastes but maybe some people will wear theirs in public), priority seating for finals day, and access to the buffet
the buffet’s not amazing but it’s surprisingly extravagant for a free meal (though idk, it could go to complete horseshit now that evo’s at the westgate). a lot of people go to evo even though their bank accounts say they shouldn’t, and for them free meals are a good thing. shit i’ve got middle class income and i still appreciated not having to go outside to get food and having a bit more money to put towards eating a real ass meal at the bacchanal later on in the day.
i judged tekken last year and it was honestly maybe 10% calling out people’s names, explaining rules, and the other 90% was watching some hype ass tekken. if you’re gonna spectate a game at evo and you can run a double elimination bracket you might as well judge for it and get paid (in food) for it
