EVO 2010

It's live now.

Looks like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at the moment. SSF4 play starts at 12pm PDT. Tekken tomorrow from 9am PDT.

Here's to hoping Daigo beats Justin again this year.

Some Fei Long wrecked a Dhalsim a while ago. Pretty good.

EDIT: Inthul, that's the guy. Just beat a Zangief. He's using a pad too.

Oh Pad Long? He's awesome, makes a lot of low-tier mainers (Like me) proud to main them and use a pad.

Yay Ken.

So proud you had to say it three times?

My phone fucks up badly, I apologize.

Never learned how to play that way in SF4...

Oh, looks like there is a Marvel vs Capcom 3 exhibition later. That should be interesting.

Ha, some guy from the GF Tekken 6 board is there. Just beat one of the commentators.

Lars and Bob everywhere. Too boring.

One of the Lars players just got DQed for messing up a match by not desyncing his pad.

SSF4 semi-finals coming up soon.

For Tekken 6 finals:

Winners Bracket:

Nin (Steve)
Tokido (Bob)
Naps (Bryan)
Devil Jim (Julia)

Losers Bracket:

JFJ (Law)
Rip (Law)
Kor (Bob/Lars)
Crow (Bob/Lars/Steve)

Not much variety.

There were a few Lei's and Ravens in the pool play. Saw a Wang too. Surprised there's no Ninas.

Nobody seems to be playing Nina. Even online I rarely encounter any Nina player, which is weird considering she is hot like Lili and even better offensively with the most damaging juggles in the game. I guess it's due to the difficulty of her juggles and overall easiness of other characters equally strong.
Speaking of Lili, surprisingly not many people used her either.

Also, it's kinda funny that the results are basically identical to the tier listings of the characters according to the latest Japanese list:

S: Steve, Bob
A +: Julia, Law, Lars, Bryan, Nina, Bruce, Jack-6
A-: Lili, Chreddy, Lee, Devil Jin, Alisa, Baek, Dragunov, Armor King, Lei, Ling
B +: Heihachi, Paul, Feng, King, Wang, Kazuya, Leo, Roger Jr., Ganryu, Hwoarang
B-: Jin, Asuka, Anna, Raven, Marduk
C: Miguel, Zafina, Bears, Yoshimitsu

As much as I like playing Tekken more than SF, SF seems more fun to watch. Maybe just because the there's a bigger crowd for it. I'm watching the HDR fights and everyone went nuts during that Cole vs Daigo fight.

I know, I know. Simple things amuse simple minds, but I lol'd.

Top 16 SSF4 semi finals starting now.

COME ON VAN, KICK HIS ASS!

Justin Wong sent to Losers by a pad Zangief player. Crowd goes nuts.

Justin Wong wins tournaments constantly when Daigo isn't in them.

This is a big deal, Moose, especially since it's a Padgief.

Wong was sweating his ass off in that match.
