EVO 2010

Oh man, I'm still coming off the tension from that.

Damn, my ears almost exploded from that crowd.

Is Dr Chaos a robot? He's like the most emotionless human being I've ever seen.

Justin Wong looks like he should be assisting a mad scientist in a black and white film.

That Floe guy looked like his whole world was destroyed.

And JWong is out!

The commentators have been taking their sugar.

Is it weird that I'm just now realising how big a deal SF is? I mean 1700 people or something turned up to play in the SF tournament, and Tekken had about 250 I think.

Anyway, schedule for tomorrow. All time PDT.

Mike Ross vs Daigo? Seriously? That will be fucking insane.

Watching this today made me want to play SSFIV again...But then I'm reminded of how sensitive the shoulder buttons are, for my controller at least. =/

Kind of makes me want to play it again too. But then I remember that I don't have it anymore and I never really played it when I did have it because I didn't particularly like it.

I only have SFIV. I want SSFIV though.

Tekken 6

Winners: Hyun "Nin" Park vs. Jim "DevilJim" Esmersey | Tokido vs. Jimmy "Mr. Naps" Tran

Losers: Reepal "Rip" Parbhoo vs. Chris "Crow" Villarreal | James "JFJ" Garrett vs. Rene "Kor" Maistry

SSFIV

Winners bracket:Daigo Umehara (Ryu) vs. Mike Ross (E. Honda)Vance "Vangief" Wu (Zangief) vs. EG.Ricky Ortiz (Rufus)

Losers bracket:Henry Cen (E. Honda, Dhalsim) vs. Bruce "GamerBee" Hsiang (Adon)Infiltration (Akuma, Juri) vs. Shizza (Chun-Li)

How come the top Japanese SSFIV player, Tokido, loses in his game, but goes undefeated in Tekken?

Wong won the MvC2 tournament.

Jwong vs Marn? God, this is one of the only cases I'd ever root for JWong.

Don't like Marn?

KBeast almost made a kick ass comeback.

Also, mega disappointing that the variety of characters in the SSF4 finals is much greater than the variety in the Tekken 6 finals, despite Tekken supposedly being the more balanced game. I saw some Tekken players lose their first match and then change to Bob and win the next two, mostly with basic punish strings. I hate to think what Bob was like is 6.0, since he's apparently been toned down since then.

He's an arrogant shithead and pulled some shit at last year's EVO that made everyone on /v/ hate him... moreso than they already did.

I like how the male commentators are actually talking about the game and the female commentator is just going "Oh no" in a concerned way whenever someone gets hit.

I like how they're restraining their comments because there are women up there.

Come on Kayane, how do you fall for that wake up Shin Shoryuken?

Kayane was pretty good, but the commentators didn't do a good job at not patronising the women. When burnyourbra started kicking ass with Ken they were like "OH MY GOD SHE KNOWS SOME COMBOS!".

I lost the Nin's match. Did he win?

Nah, Naps beat him 2-0.
