Oh damn. SCR is in bad shape right now. =/

The change of venues probably crazy expensive because of the short notice.

JDCR is in Lima, Peru

This year has not been a good year for tournament logistics, has it.

This year has not been a good year for tournament logistics, has it.

There are starting to be very real growing pains due to the size of the events moving beyond the venues that they've traditionally used.

 

[FSLink]

DKWill is here in Hawaii.

We're all going to play some casuals today with him. I'll try to record any hype matches. :3

 

[Kumubou]

I figured something was up with SCR (not having registration details up a month before the event is weird), but that sucks, especially for anyone who already booked a plane ticket. And six weeks from then would put it right around E3... x_x.

The thought of all of the crowds (and BO) from Evo being a bigger event in a smaller venue this year is more than a little unsettling right now. D:

My favorite SF stages:

Ibuki's from SF3:NG. I love the transition from day, to sunset, to night. Also, putting her friends in the background seems like a nice touch:

Rose's from Alpha 2:

Sean's from SF3:NG:

Man, SF3:NG had some beastly art direction in its backgrounds. Makes you wonder what happened with Third Strike sometimes.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Now I got Bloodborne on my desk but all I want to do is fight GB on the Africa stage with a timeout when the eclipse happens.

You can message me on steam tonight and we'll play, but I might miss it if I'm playing The Evil Within lol

Good luck, Valle.

New generation did have some fantastic backgrounds, way better than 3s. I had hoped 3S online would include the backgrounds from prior games but sadly it didn't.

Honestly, Evo worried me from the moment they announced the return to the Paris/Bally's but hopefully it's nothing :/

Shinblanka posted in the thread 645 linked to. Do not use Wufoo is kind of my take away currently, lol

CEO has used Wufoo for years with no issues, and CB is using it this year. I think the issue is more in how Larry used Wufoo. Either way, I'm gonna be extra careful in double-checking registrations to make sure everything is in order.

Just gotta move outside.

Let's go EVO| Yellowstone National Park!

I don't think it's possible to out do outside SBO.

PSA: for P4AU at EVO 2015, the official version will be the CURRENT PS3 CONSOLE BUILD.

I guess 2.0 wont be out in time. Kind of sucks. Playing an old version reduces player motivations and deincentivises the japanese gods from coming. Would rather a different anime game take the spot if this is the case.

 

[mbpm1]

Oh yeah, there was rain that year wasn't there?

Xrd will probably be the old version too. Would you be okay with replacing Gods Gift?

 

[remist]

I was assuming Xrd would get the patch in time. Yea I'd say the same thing. UNIEL definitely deserves one of the spots.

Edit: Also, I don't know how they'll justify it, but this makes me think 2.0 will end up costing money. Either through DLC or another disc.

 

[vulva]

I think it was hot as shit and they constantly had shit like Mosquitos attacking them while playing.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I forgot the specifics, but from what I remember it was a combination of 1) it being in the middle of bumfuck nowhere 2) insects 3) huge glare off the screens. maybe rain too.

 

[Kumubou]

I was assuming Xrd would get the patch in time. Yea I'd say the same thing. UNIEL definitely deserves one of the spots.

Xrd is either the #2 or #3 game at most majors -- it would still easily warrant a spot at Evo regardless of the fact that it's a version behind or not.

I can't see them ditching P4AU either, unless there was a repeat of what happened in 2010 with BBCT and the players bailed completely, which I don't see happening because BBCT was truly worth bailing out on, and there's no way P4AU 1.x is that bad. Swapping out BBCT for either MBAA or MvC2 that year was a massive upgrade.

 

[shaowebb]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Wii power supply may have died. If not the console died and thats way worse. My 360 has had a failing disc drive for awhile too. 2/3rds of last gen is crappin out on me and I'm still nailing bullethell and enjoying Tatsunoko vs Capcom on em. I really can't afford for that Wii to be dead...it has Doc Louis' Punchout! on it and thats digital only and about to disappear forever.

I hope I don't end up out cash over all this at once.

Yea, I doubt they will end up changing anything, I just personally would rather have BBCP Extend and UNIEL then old XRD and P4U2. I still have hope the Xrd patch will come in time.

At least I'll be able to use my current Ken and Koro bullshit, lol

Ed Boon tweeted that MKX has alternate control style (SF Style).

Siggggghhhhh

Right decision, stupidly crappy situation. Being an anime player sucks sometimes.

 

[Seyavesh]

that SBO outside had giant fucking cicadas in the machines
this was a smaller one i remember seeing a HUGE one

it was also the best one though because that was the year america finally won a SBO game

~eternalchamps~

 

[Parallax Scroll]

america finally triumphs over japan in marvel

 

[mbpm1]

So basically America needed the Seven Plagues of God to win on Japanese soil

 

[Seyavesh]

america finally triumphs over japan in marvel

well clearly they weren't gonna do it in any arcade game 'cuz japan got that technology:

 

[jbug617]

yeah buy Justin had to play in the hot sun. He was a disadvantage also.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

nah we just needed them to add a game we're good at

 

[Kimosabae]

I swear to god I don't want to be mean... but at a glance that looks like one of those grimy meme photoshops of one face across all bodies, a la Yipes/Sanford style.

Except for that one dude in red on the right side, that kinda looks like James Chen

Wow thats terrible Atlus. All my hype for persona at evo is gone now. Guess all I will be watching at Evo is smash then.

 

[pixelish]

did sbo really die because of the poor reception towards having the tournament outdoors? they could've just gone back to doing it indoors if it's so.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

did sbo really die because of the poor reception towards having the tournament outdoors? they could've just gone back to doing it indoors if it's so.

The whole reason it was outdoors in the first place is because they didn't have the means (money) to give it an even remotely proper production.

There had been rumors in years prior that it was going to cease being an event altogether in the near future anyway.

 

[Seyavesh]

did sbo really die because of the poor reception towards having the tournament outdoors? they could've just gone back to doing it indoors if it's so.

nah the sbo the year before (or two years? there might have been a break/gap) was also really bad

basically the company that sponsored it/supported it stopped existing or stopped wanting to do it so this thing was supposed to be like a last ditch effort to try and save it by cheaping out and trying to make it an 'outdoors convention' style event so it'd make money and be able to continue

with like a bunch of anime concerts and shit that took up most of the stream time

Also the American squad for Persona is still rolling deep at Evo and we're still practicing hard as ever, and several JP gods are still on their way. Again it sucks, but doesn't stop us from supporting and playing hard.
