Small Evo East Thoughts (UPDATED: Now with Photos!)

Evo Championship Series
21

As far as my thoughts…generally I enjoyed myself. Outside of losing terribly in tourneys/money matches. My only redeeming factors were almost beating NKI in ST and in Exodus’s words “randoming” out MutantXP in 3S. That’s good enough for me considering how terrible I always do in tourneys. It was fun to play against some west coast and Canadian players and the event helped me to realize how unique of a player I am in the 3S community. Just need to start winning more often.

Only issues I really had was that the food in the hotel itself was kinda expensive. Breakfast buffet was like 14 bucks and the waffles were terrible. Coldest and stalest waffles I’ve ever eaten. It was like biting into a sponge with syrup on top. Despite such the rest of the food was good. Toasted croissants FTW. The pizza place that everyone ordered from was awesome. 15 bucks for 2 cheese pizzas was too good. Nice big thin slices of pizza that didn’t taste like cheap Dominos pizza. Oh and random seeing for the brackets…didn’t care for that too much either. My first and last opponents in 3S were both people that I regularly play against in tourneys. I can understand the last opponent but my very first opponent? Wow. At least it wasn’t like Eric Kim or Eps or nuttin.

GS to all the MD/VA peepz that held it down. Even if we weren’t beasting at quite the level we should have. I still think we’re hell strong and our community as a whole is something that a lot of other fighting gamers can only wish they had. C3 is our training room for Vegas so let’s do the damned thang.

Shout outs to HOLD FAT (I can’t call you that anymore actually…too good), Exo, Shodokan 123 (2 on 2 was dat ish) Canadian peepz that stole my money and my tourney placings, MutantXP (thanks for letting me random you out…your Necro is cool stuff), J.Wong, MD/VA crew in general, B Chan for driving me out and myself for being terrible.

at first, i was bitching about smash bros running too long but i don’t really mind anymore. i PERSONALLY do not mind 2/3 for losers in cvs2. i also don’t mind 2/3 for grandfinals…i’ll be honest. i hope it stays like this for evoworld.

i don’t mind having a big ass bracket instead of pools. even though it sucks that top players will bump heads early on, i’ll just deal with it instead of bitch. good shit though phi [you know what i’m talking about].

i hope that there will be a 100% guarantee with evobadges at west/north/world. even though i’ve been coming through to ecc for the past 3 years, i still don’t know everybody. we need badges.

that’s about it. good shit to phi, mr wizard, james, chen, bacardi, and the last person that was there too [i can’t remember your name right now]

23

It was fun that my boy was commentating Tekken while me and my other boys were backing him up.

I loved it.

Just so everyone knows, I put up my Photos. You can see them here:

========================================

Also, wanted to take the time to give a shoutout to the guys who helped run Evo East:

wizard: Always an adventure doing these, isn’t it? :slight_smile:

Seth: Always good to see you. Glad you didn’t get any of us sick. :lol:

Chris Li: A weekend cannot be complete without my big, gigantic, Chinese brutha.

Phi: Phi is like Magic. Whatever we need, he can get for us. I dunno what I would have done on Finals Sunday without your help, when my camcorder died on me!!! Oh, and your digital camera is hella bad-ass. :wgrin:

Van: I told you in person, but I’ll repeat it here: we need more kick-ass people such as yourself. You are the type of person that goes unsung, but without help from guys like you, there’s no way the tourney would have ever been run successfully.

DSP: You also threw your weight around with the workload, Phil. You deserve major proprs for being absolutely one of the most helpful guys there.

Walter: You are mad hype with the mic, sir. :slight_smile:

Ryan: Thanks for taking the load of doing a lot of photography work.

27

Waitasec, are you implying that deeep within DSP beats a . . . heart? A *human *heart? He might get offended at that.

Of course, I kid. Congrats to Phil for backing up his talk, and proving that he is the face of EC ST.

Now wouldn’t everyone love to see a big ST MM? DSP vs Watts or something.

28

Awesome, you got shots of BBB and AB and even the MB tournament.

And holy fuck I am one port bellied motherfucker.

A diet is in fucking order.

:rofl:

29

Vic you are an evil man :looney:

30

Um… what are BBB and AB and MB? I’m guessing MB is Melty Blood? What’s BBB and AB? Hahaha…

I also got video footage of just about every random game in the BYOC. Maybe some day I can put together a clip of them all.

31

Those two laptop games.

^ Akatsuki Blitzkampf ^

^Big Bang Beat ^

^ Melty Blood ^

(That’s me down front and center, with that orange / red hat, head turned to the right).

:smiley:

32

ill play in a moneymatch if people want to see it, but as i’ve officially stated, i will not be financially involved at all. i’m officially done with moneymatches (that i’m backing/challenging).

i’m going to EVO West anyway so there should be some interesting matches…

33

you’re the first to have a hint of me in any of your pictures 0_0… lol.

I wanted to play you in vampire.

good shit

good shit james

Shoutouts

Phi: Always fun chillin with you bro, nuff said

Isaac: It was great seeing you again this time. Definitely been a while since I didn’t see you at FR. I’ll be sure to give you a call next time I’m in Charlotte again.

Fugee: The hustla! It was mad fun chillin with you again as always back at your room. I think that was the largest congregation of viets I’ve been a part of at a tournament. Though I guess…phi, you, me, and pete make up like 1.5 viets.

Walter aka Bacardi: You are one hilarious dude and don’t sweat with your commentary. We needed someone who could add a little spice with your mic skills

Joey aka Mr. Wizard: Thanks for flying all the way out to the EC to help orchestrate one of the best tournaments I’ve gone too.

Seth aka S-kill: It was really great getting to meet you and thanks for all the inside Capcom info. Hope you were able to make it back to the WC in time and Capcom didn’t bitch about you actually trying to PROMOTE their products.

Chris Li: Always great meeting you to talk about SF and sports. Maybe I’ll see you in VA if Phi ends up moving there.

James aka jchensor: Thanks for all your hard work with the Evo East tournament as well. Hopefully you have or will find your stick.

Phil aka DXP: You might be a little overtop in the forums, but it does not reflect on who you are in person. You’re always cool in my book and it was good seeing you again as well.

Everyone else (JustinW, Jeron, Xecutioner, etc): Good shit seeing you all again and I hope to see ya next time I’m in NYC.

Smash community: Thank you for representing your game at the tournament and it was a pleasure helping out with the tourney.

Evo Staff as a whole: Thank you guys for everything you all have done the past few years for the SF community. This is my first time to an Evo event and thank you for letting me help out with it. Hopefully I will be able to make it out to Evo World to hang out and help if need be.

whoever was doing commentary during the finals was great. I know Bacardi is Godlike on the mic but i dont tknow the names of the other guys that were doing commentary. They were crackin good jokes and they brought the hype during the matches…especially during VF5.

37

James Chen did VF5 and ST, I did 3s, Bacardi did most of CvS2 and I was in between when he had to use the bathroom, he also did Smash, I think James again did Guilty Gear and then we had random Tekken/Marvel players doing commentary for their respective games.

I think that Bacardi did a great job, but he would have been better if he were a little less drunk. He kept saying the same stuff over and over and over…:rofl: “This man’s a problem! HES A PROBLEM!” or “He’s got TRICKS!”

Bacardi for a reason, THIS GUY IS A PROBLEM

39

Bacardi was gdlk compared to motrix for marvel. Bill and Lawrence did the most gdlk commentaries ever. “Justin Wong, may I direct your attention to the start pad.” Bill and Law should do side by side commentaries for all the other evos they’re going to, specially vegas. They should do it together like in NFL, no homo. Get them headphones and the chin mic. A table. The blazers. The whole 9 yards. Gdlk.

so what do we have to do to get those same announcers for Evo World??

who we gotta bribe??
