Cambofiend vs Doodman:
EVO Championship Series
Concept »
The World Fighting Game Championships in all but name. Since 2000, the Evolution Championship Series has been the most prominent fighting game tournament event. It features the best players from all over the world.
EVO 2015 Preview (July 17-19, live from Las Vegas) 3 days, 9 world championships to be decided!
Rise of Incarnates apparently coming to EVO as a side attraction. Hopefully this means more people will start playing it.
I'm assuming Ken is far from done graphically, he doesn't look nearly as polished as the other 6 characters. Probably ran short on time and had to put out the crappier looking version of him to be able to show it by Comiccon.
This is the last year we will only have one street fighter again huh?
You mean they'll have both USFIV and SFV next year? I don't know about that.
@flstyle: That JRPG town music.

I could see it both ways really. depends on how street fighter 5 changes things and how its recieved. 5 will be on the grand stage but I could see them doing something with hyper.
The notion of them not having SFIV next year is pretty silly, especially given how new SFV will be; if it came out in September or something maybe but third strike got one more Evo and so will SFIV unless some other in demand game randomly pops up and we know how heavily those are scrutinized. If anyone wants to try to list off 9 games next year that don't include Marvel, the second biggest fighting game in the world per its placement on final's day, (which is unlikely to be there of course) or SFIV be my guest; I think basically every list will be easy to pick apart.
I think if they got rid of his bangs being so large, and changed the shade of yellow for his hair then Ken would be on point.
I know he isn't listed for the beta, but if he is, oh shit I'm going in hard on him. He looks 100000X better than any of his other versions to play as. Very in your face.
I hope after that new new character reveal we get Alex. At ease loosah!

I agree with everything you just said!
So the new character most likely will be a 100% new character, but if it is a remake of someone... wouldn't it be interesting if it was Oro before he lost his arm and hair?
He has the nose and eyebrows for it, and this is set between SF4 and SF3 correct? That would be a fantastic redesign.
@zlatko: There is no confirmation on when SFV takes place. And since Oro is so old it's extremely unlikely it would be a younger Oro. Oro has 2 arms as well. He just only fights with one because "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!" bullshit.
Also, almost forgot. They confirmed it!
I join Pro gaming team, Zeveron! With their help I must get more chances to fight on! Please support me and the team! pic.twitter.com/ZCwYJfZght

Without going into full detail, Kazu is signed on for a full year with monthly salary and travel support. We are in it for the long haul.

So does that mean that Kaz won't need that SCR money from John Choi?
/u/acekingoffsuit made another easy to follow schedule for EVO: Link
@bsstephan: Have fun!
The hype for this coming weekend is unreal. Going to binge hard on USF4 and MKX.
Damn right!
@l1ghtn1n: @flstyle: thanks! I'm entering USF4, P4AU, and Xrd, but work and JRPGs got in the way and I didn't practice as much as I wanted... so I'm hoping to just not go 0-2 in everything. But I'm going to have a lot of fun anyway. One thing I do want to try to do is get some Puyo Puyo Tetris running in the BYOC room, if I can find time between pools and hotel room casuals/MMs.
@starvinggamer: For one of them Ken wears a Jonitti-esque Hotdog Suit, except instead of a hotdog it's a banana to go with his hair.
There's a tournament going on on twitch.tv/topangatv atm.
@fredchuckdave: I really did not expect them to keep going at it like this. It's very different from the time when people would go silent to spend time in the lab in preparation of EVO.
@hassun: Infiltration is streaming as well, is no hidden tech safe!? I guess we'll have to see if Tokido bodies everyone with Hugo.
@fredchuckdave: I know I should not be surprised but I am still surprised Infiltration has a top level E. Ryu. Poor Hydebuffy...
@hassun: Infiltration is like a Korean Floe, back when he actually played and had super good handles on all of the characters. Of course, Infiltration is much better than Floe ever was, but still.
Apparently the ESL finals are going on.
@fredchuckdave: Yep, I was watching it and its got some cheesy ass intros for all the players.
PL's excuse for ducking all those tournaments was because he wanted to focus on ESL. So let's see if that pays off.
So many fans. Haven't tried using the buff for zoning yet /shrug
I guess Kitana players can only blame themselves now.
@fredchuckdave: That's the only form of Kitana I ever see. :|
@hassun: Well you can get 21% just from raw fans full screen, not very easy to do, hadn't thought to put the EX in there since it's probably not worth the bar, but it looked stylish so props to Sonic Fox for style.
I really like these dumbass intros.
I'm so bummed about the removal of KoF XIII from EVO. It was one of the consistent best showings—even the horrendous shits in the Twitch chats who only like SF4 and (ugh) UMvC3 were quickly being won over. Goddammit SNK now you really have to make a new KoF. We haven't heard anything official about Tekken 7 in the US yet, right? Hoping some news will surface during EVO. Really pumped for that game.
