Im there.

While I'm sad that it won't be at the Rio again (The seafood buffet there was top and you could see Penn & Teller), EVO on the strip is going to be amazing. 
 
I wouldn't expect to hear about what games are being played for quite some time though. With 3rd Strike being largely dead and the community rejecting HDR, there's a lot for the organizers to think about. 

Can we hype Final Round before we hype Evo 2010?

where did the new mod on the boards come from?

Jared has been a mod for a while, I remember seeing his name on the mod list some time a go.

Wait, what? Why? "

I hope Super SFIV has serious spot here.

" @MrJared: YOU TAKE THAT BACK, SFA3 is great. Don't make me tattoo an input incorrect shoryuken input on your arm against your will. I'll do it. I did it to some other guy a while back. Also, I need Chun experience so hit me up if you got that Xbox lizzle. "

When you gonna run the official Giant Bomb Fists of Fury online tournament Jared? GET ON THE BALL JARED.

This just in EVO 2010 will include Shaq Fu and War Gods. Sure to make this the most badass EVO to date.

I main Larcen Tyler in Eternal Champions: Challengers From The Dark Side. If that is at Evo 2k10 prepare to be dominated!

 With 3rd Strike being largely dead.

Seconded. Chun is really tough for me, please help me not suck anymore! "

Since they'll only be a few months between SSFIV's release and its debut at EVO, I wonder how many people will be using the new characters. I hope some pros take on some of the new characters and try and work them out in the time before EVO. It would be a bummer seeing only SFIV original characters in the Top 8 with none of the Super guys. I expect someone will take Guy or DeeJay pretty far, I just hope we see them at the end. Wong's usualy pretty good at taking new characters so maybe he'll do it.

" @Symphony: Will you be around this evening, maybe 6 pm pst? If so, I'd love to play a few. I must have revenge against that Sakura of yours! "

Even the old characters will be different, and with multiple ultras, people will be surprised by trying to play match-ups like SFIV.

The only people that will be randomed out will be those that aren't part of any tournament scene to begin with. true tourny players learn fast certain gimmicks and i doubt there would be any one new move they can spam to get them all the way to top 8.
