EVO Discussion

If there isn't a thread that is! Looks like pool details are coming out (catching up on Twitter)...

Pool 7 for sf and pool 54 for marvel? Who is with me?

Floe responded "me"...I assume SF.

If you know a player's first and last name, check their pool here.
SRK has a thread with the allocations of top players here.


Also, a fantasy bracket has been created for SF and Marvel - this assumes that there are no upsets for top 32, but brackets will be updated with results of pools.

He's going to think you're following him around...

chopperbyrne

Well he beat me in a Vanilla Honda mirror and then he beat me in a Super Paper, Rock, Scissors match.

This time, it's mine.

Would you rather I hate on Stevo???

Speed Boat

No.

Marlin is in Choppers group. Thus I thought it odd you singled him out for a beating by steve0.

the 1st hardter

Woops my bad. Now I look like a fool

Neeknak

Poor Stev0.

PR Rog, Lamerboi, Starnab, DS, Gackt

Monkeyto

Stevo's got this.

Good luck to all the dudes going over!

Most importantly, have fun!

Another spreadsheet attempting to track pools...Starting to take shape: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmLGJ-d2g9CJdE9fNnVhNlVYaE1DODFEN0JfYUhEVWc&hl=en_US#gid=6

Good luck to all the irish players! Will root for you guys over the stream!

Speed Boat

This is cool for the twitter users amongst us.

the 1st hardter

How many per pool anyway??? And how many will be going through per pool???

aeonfusion

Quite looking forward to watching this this weekend hope the stream isn't bejiggered from all the people watching, wanna see gootecks, gackt and lamerboi get schooled, paddy style (yes i mean drunk as hell)

Seriously though, good luck to everyone competing

Sabre0001

Hopefully some of the Irish lads get shown on screen! Would be great to see

Orim

16 man pools to start. Top 2 out of each pool.

Mr Naps is in my pool. Over player I know from the 3 I've seen.

Misty Chaos

Needless to say I too wish good luck to all the Irish lads competing at Evo this weekend, wreck the gaff and cause some upsets!

Great idea. C'mon lads - this would be epic. You could tie in the vlog you better be creating for the trip.


Stevo - stay away from the whiskey pre-game. That is a post tournament drink for you

Best of luck to Dan, The chop, and Stevo. Represent us well.

Doyler01

Yeah lads, get some sort of vlog going. Get sneaky shots of top players for youtube preview.

Best of luck and stay safe. Middle & upper class strip joints only.

Evo is double-elimination ALL the way, with pools losses counted.
Holy crap that is tough.

ALL the way?

How is that pools?

Isn't that just a 1000+ person bracket tournament?

2 people qualify from each pool, one in winners and one in losers.

Ouch

Essentially, yes. The players are seperated into pools simply to make things more manageable.

Speed Boat

So the stream starts at 4pm on Friday.

Well, that's if they start streaming from Vegas at 8 in the morning as the schedule suggests.

I'm now trying to work out when I will sleep over the weekend so as to maximise my stream enjoyment.

Schedule here for those curious http://bit.ly/qUCbbL

So much I want to watch sensibilities say catch most on YouTube though.


Anywhere streaming the panel stuff. Also, a couple of streams will have their on salty suites! Good times ahead.WC has to win Marvel team exhibition or else the LA v San Diego showdown is pointless!

Sairus

2 of our 4 soon to be Evo champions have given us deep and disturbing insights into their history over at streetfighter.ie

Owwmykneecap

Orim is in Pool 23: Gootecks, Xian, Kahikusu
Stev0 is in Pool 46: Lamerboi, PR Balrog, Starnab, Gackt, DS
Chopper is in Pool 68: Marlin Pie, Coungster Dragon Ball Joseph, Shglbmx


Correct?

And the other 2?

I'd say the matchups of those players are all slightly in his favour. I know they're great players but from the videos i've seen so is stevo

Guile, balrog and fei? Not really

fake_roogle

balrog honda is even, first hit wins. fei will be rough but stevo says he likes the matchup, we'll see~ guile will be annoying too.

aeonfusion

I always thought HHS gave the edge to honda slightly in the rog match and the fei match was also slightly in his favor but highly dependant on good meter usage. I know the guile matchup is a fecker but as far as i know he's swapped from guile to deejay, who he'll use at evo is anyones guess and i've no idea what the honda v deejay match is like

Can't wait to meet you Irish guys at EVO =]

Two of us are probably the whitest guys you've ever seen so we should be easy to spot :P

We've arrived. We're tired. That was a long flight. I've done my best to remain hype but it was hard. Vegas does live up to expectations though.

Owwmykneecap

My jealousy is intensifying at a steady rate.

Jay Jay, if you're looking for the irish, orim and chopper have interviews half way down the front page of http://streetfighter.ie should make spotting them easier.


Anyone heading out after Day of champions on Sat? i'll probably be staying in dublin for the weekend with some friends and will be looking to get polluted... so I can wake up just in time for the evo finals get together..

fake_roogle

dan, does your roaming work here? If not, PM me and we can organise when to meet up or whatever (or if you reckon you'll just be sticking around at the hotel tomorrow, PM me your room number and I can just come up sometime in the afternoon). I'm down for casuals/warmup/practice sessions tomorrow.

I always thought HHS gave the edge to honda slightly

he has to get in to do that first, and if they try to jump too much/predictably, balrog has one of the most braindead/easiest AA's to do. both jab straight/jab headbutt are unpunishable by the other so it's basically mindgames/whoever is more solid that'll win.

I'm pretty much at Evo to just meet up with hella 3rd strike guys, help with some panels, and play games =P I'll be dressed as alt color black Chun Li all friday. Give me a shout =D
