EVO2K7:EVO WORLD results!

[Khaistyle]

You see, the problem here is that they're emphasizing Smash Bros. on the same level as Guilty Gear and 3rd strike.  :lol: (I'm expecting flame here.)

I say this as a Smash player myself, not a traditional 2d fighter fanboy or something. That doesn't mean I don't think its a good game, I think it's great. I just think the game is too limiting and to unbalanced. I hope that Nintendo takes this into account when producing Brawl.

[Asa_Gohan]

well theyre only doing it so they could get more customers. GG and 3rd strike has a less wider audience players then SSBM cause SSBM is easy to pick up. Though the learning curve is very very high. And unlike other fighting games it isnt about button combination but on how you pull them off. And every character in SSBM can beat every other character and unlike most fighting games they dont have infinites except for 1 character. But unlike other fighting games this has to be pulled off 4 times in a row to pull off a match while in other fighting games, you just have to pull it off once, or twice if its GG to reset the damage, in order to win the match. In addition with a character they have their advantages and disadvantages. And by the way unlike GG and blah vs blah they have made many many more fighting games. Should take into account that SSBM is old and is the second game.  And I have to say that it has improved a whole lot.

SSBM limiting?  wow....in what way?


Also, GGXX is more unbalanced than SSBM...is GGSlash very different?

imo, you cant really compare two games that are on totally different levels. its like saying oranges are better than apples because they dont have the "zing" of an orange.

as for slash's balance...it could be better. then again it could be worse...(d-loop turned into sw-loop)

[SohmaYuki]

Loops don't make characters unbalanced. Everyone has good loops. None of the characters in GG#R nor Slash are unbalanced. Eddie and Slayer were both top in #R but weren't broken by any means, Slash Eddie got nerfed a lot. Other characters all got better.

Accent Core plays retardedly though.

Sol was at best High-mid in any of the guilty gears.

hypothetically, slayer's bite loop can pretty much be used with no opportunity to tech out or escape, given that the burst gauge isn't full. it's loops like that which, imo, "break" characters like slayer

[SohmaYuki]

Bite loop was only in Igzechs, not in #Reload. It's possible to mash out unless the persons execution on the otherside is near perfect(3 frame leway). Of course, if you can't mash out, then that's your problem(but that's like calling King broken because you can't tech out of chain throws).

In #R it was way easier to mash out so it was only used in repetitions of 3 at most to gain back a little bit of life and add slightly to dizzy meter. But just so you know, even at EVO no US player was able to do bit loop in a real match of Igzechs.

Slayer invincible jc. qcf+P is more annoying than bite loop.

Please stay on topic for EVO 2K7, thank you.
EDIT:Warning withheld, I was being silly. :P

[SohmaYuki]

Talking about skill levels and playskill is on topic for evo...

What the hell are you talking about?

Locations have been confirmed for:

EVO World: http://www.evo2k.com/finals/

EVO North: http://www.evo2k.com/north/

EVO East: http://www.evo2k.com/east/

EVO West coming soon.
The East part is happening the same weekend as Fanime.

[Barnes]

EDIT:Things changed.


Since EVO West is happening the same weekend as Con Xtreme (San Jose) and San Diego Comic Con, theres a "rumor" that EVO West itself "might" be held in San Diego. Again, I don't know the full details.

[Simna]

as far as smash tournaments go EVO WEST is happening very close to 0C3 and MELEE-FCX.  All of which are major tournaments.

[Barnes]

The EVO 2K6 dvd is now on sale. I wanna get the two disc thing.

[Simna]

evo world is on my 21st bday^_^

[Barnes]

^Thats cool. I ordered my 2k6 dvds on SUN. I hope to get them soon.

Anyway, I just learned that EVO West will be in San Diego, in the Omni Hotel during San Diego Comic Con . Heres a quote from the SRK forums:

We are proud to announce that Evo West will be held in San Diego, CA during the San Diego Comic Con.

It will be located at the Omni hotel across the street (Which is sold out, you need to find your own hotel at the best possible price)

This event will rival Evo South as a all free event (But you will need a badge into the Comic Con to participate, dont buy a badge just yet, we might have a deal)

Hope to see you all there.

WOW! Better start planning.
Any thoughts?

[Barnes]

Got my EVO 2006 dvds in the mail today, while I was at Fanime.
HUZZAH!

I better start planning.

[Barnes]

EVO World is coming up.

http://www.evo2k.com/finals/

I don't think I can make it due to poor planning and lack of funds on my behalf. Atleast I'll turn 21 next year, so it will easier for me.
I added a poll.

PS: I'll wager $5 on John Choi to beat Justin Wong in the majority of the games they play in their Special Event (2 Man Tournament) :P

To all those who are going: Have fun, and get hype!

[Chloe]

Heck yeah.  It's going to be so much fun. lol.  XD
