The official Evo 2k9 NW thread. Nobody on dry land can fade the NW

Since 1/3 of the people here want to soft ban akuma, are we going to be soft against akuma in tournaments outside our region? No one will have experience playing against him.

I’ll be going again this year. I’ve already checked prices. It’s pretty cheap if you book it right away.

I’ll room with you guys. If this is the last year Marvel will be at Evo, I have to go to this.

I’m definitely going!

edit: WTF, why is SC4 there, that game is HOT and I mean, HOT GARBAGE. I would seriously rather CvS2 or some other shitty game be there than that shit.

And no Smash??? FUCK YES FINALLY WE DON’T CATER TO 12 YEAR OLDS ANYMORE!!! :rofl:

It doesn’t really matter whether you have experience playing against him when you’re getting unblockable Demon’d.

Just play against Akuma in your head, if you block flip a coin and if it’s heads, you die. If you jump at him, always mentally take off 1/4-1/3 lifebar for your character. If he runs away, you lose by timeout.

Have fun.

are you guys gonna be doin the 16th(night before) tot he 20(day after)? cuz ithink ill have enough vacation time to come through. ill compete, but my main objective is to bring hype.

I’m hoping to get their the day before and leave the day after. I don’t like rushing when I’m traveling.

Hell, maybe I’ll take the week off.

I’m taking the 13th thru 17th off. Then I’m taking the 20th off as well. No chances for fuck ups.

YO! LETS GET SOME WINGS AGAIN SON! I need that lemon pepper. Shit is gold. GOLD! And we need to go see some titaaaays. Remember to bring a bucket of ice too. Hahah.

So hyped about this Evo though. Definitely not missing out this year. 3S again is gonna be siiiick.

Yes mofo we need to get on this shit like hot fire!

And to Kendrik: Don’t worry about ur skill level man I’m 90% sure by the time you get there, there will be even worse players than you, I know that for a fact! I went there thinking oh man I’m gonna get BEASTED in ST but look at that I weeny KO’d my way to top 32! Only to get my ass raped by Watson, lol. So the moral of the story is, you don’t know till you try man! It’s fun even if you get scraped first round!

PS: FUCK DAN MARINO!!!

EDIT: I see that there will be a 5v5 regional HD Remix exhibition tournament, there had better be a NW team being represented!

Fuck Dan Marino’s.

Man… I choked down those damn wings.

^Hahaha, I remember me and Pablo and Felix leaving you guys after I explained to that dumbass waitress for the TENTH time we only had 11 people, there was a crowd of random ass people and she REFUSED to trust I knew who was in our group, she kept counting random ass people in the crowd as our group, I left, I KNEW there would be drama about the bill. :rofl:

That was fucked up. We had all sorts of random things on the bill.

Who was the guy who covered most of it? He wouldn’t take anyones money afterward either even though it was offered. But he was pissed!

That was Pat. A Seattle Guilty Gear player. Really cool guy. He took 5th at Evo for Guilty as well.

BTW Brent. Totally off topic here but I would like to run Accent Core at NWM. Would you be down for that?

I was going to offer that position to Rob, but really, I just want Rob involved with running any tournament, so I wanted him to have his pick. The guy is that good.

I’d like the format to follow the one used at EVO and PAX last year. 1 person in charge of 2 TV’s stations, with multiple stations run by volunteers. 2 stations per person seems like the perfectly manageable number. I’ll let you know Vince. I also want everyone who wants to participate and be a part of it to have the opportunity, so we’ll work it out as we get closer. I’ll remember you want to run it and talk to Rob about it.

Rob could run all of Evo in a day. TOO BEAST.

Heh. That’s fine. I haven’t seen Zig in a long time. Since Soul Cal 4 came out basically.

Who wants to be on my 3S team for the 2v2?? You have to understand that I’m gonna be very much tempted to pick Dudley I but will probably go with Chun II for the sake of opportunity. Teaming up with me means you HAVE to go drinking with me once we’re eliminated so you can hear me rant on how shitty of a game 3rd Strike really is, especially in the face of classics like SFIV and ST.

So who wants in?!

LETS GO!

I will if you can’t find anyone else, lol!

mandel this is jacob and if i could make it down to evo i promise i would play the GROSSEST sean, necro, and sa-2 yun EVER. shiiiiiit last time i was in vegas as soon as i woke up i started drinking, re-upped before we left the hotel, got the free drinks in casinos while playing penny slots, copped bottles from the little side stores on the strip, and pretty much drank until i passed out. when i woke up i’d repeat the cycle. i remember there was a half gallon of stoli vodka i monstered and i was buying these little bottles smaller than pints but way bigger than those 1 or 2 dollar bottles for like 8 bucks. i cant wait to go back to vegas and put it down again and just the mere fact that i can walk around drinking straight from a 5th and then go inside almost anywhere and smoke a cigarette and then get cheap food is AMAZING to me. the only way to top vegas for me is to go to a poor ass country and do it up. just not so down for the philippines (sorry julien, not tryna bone one of my cousins on accident) and a lot of asia due to the amount of drag queens where you MIGHT be too fucked up to find out if its a man or not til they spread em ahahahahahaha

Mandel…let’s get that fucking gwap Dudley I, and Dudley III

Team the father, the son, and the holy voice.
