EVO Championship Series 2011 dates announced
01 year ago
EVO has finally been announced and I have sent in my vacation time request for it. It’s in Las Vegas of, July 29th-31st. I’m probably going to be staying a few extra days since I’ve been wanting to go to Vegas for a while now.
I’m going to have to start focusing more on SF4 now that I’m actually committing to going. Probably going to focus on Chun Li as I still can’t make Makoto work consistently.

Seen this today and had to post it. Makes me want to go even more next year.
Yoshinori Ono to announce new Capcom game at Comic-Con
01 year ago
Mr. Ono mentioned that he had a big announcement “bigger than SSF4″ at EVO this year and said that he would be making the announcement at Comic-Con in a few weeks. The higher ups at Capcom wouldn’t let him spill the beans at EVO.
Yoshinori Ono dropped a hint on his official Twitter account with this picture though:
This has stirred up quite a few theories as to what game it could possibly be. Seems to have a 360, PS3 and PC keyboard all placed in the picture and that’s obviously Ryu’s face. Everything from Street Fighter vs. Tekken, Darkstalkers, Capcom vs. SNK3, Street Fighter 5 or maybe just a DLC or SSF4 for PC being announced. No one is quite sure. Capcom seems to love generated hype though and seems to be doing a good job of it.
According to what he said about it at EVO it’s due out in about a year which will put it very close to their other huge release, Marvel vs Capcom 3 and seems too early for a full blown Street Fighter 5. I guess we’ll find out at Comic-Con!

Definitely feeling the decision staying up till 1:30 in the morning EST to watch the EVO finals. After the surprise elimination of Justin Wong on Saturday, there was a new level of hype surrounding the 2010 EVO finals. The action didn’t disapoint either. Between the excellent matches and skill shown and the new players on the scene this year, it’s no wonder the Evolution tourmanent is the pinnacle of fighting game competition.
New players making a big splash this year was Gamerbee (Adon) and Vangief (Zangief) both of which are subsequently the players that eliminated J Wong from the top 8 this year. After a grueling set of matches between the top 8, Daigo “the Beast” Umehara stands as the reigning champion of EVO 2010 against Ricky Ortiz who came in second place.
EVO 2010 starting at noon EST
0Looking forward to watching the EVO 2010 live stream that starts today. Maybe next year I’ll get to go and get my ass kicked at Street Fighter IV. Can watch the live stream here:
