EVO'wned 2010!
Now to FINALLY cover everything for EVO 2010. This year was held at Caesar's Palace. The convention space was excellent because of the increased interest, but it was a pain in the ass to access. The 100+ degree temps and humidity didn't help, either. All in all, a fun time was had.
One of the several pools.
One of Dash no Chris's cabs with Rival Schools. Seriously, not even 20 seconds after we got it up and running, people asked if they could play.
Our tiny little corner getting a ton of love. They told us about the cab limit at the last minute, so we were not happy. At least we managed to squeeze these two out.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo!
Cosplayers? At MY EVO? Yes, please!
The draw for SSFIV was IMMENSE.
A rare Venom vs. Venom match.
Two ladies duking it out in GGXX: Accent Core. The matchup was I-no vs. Potemkin.
Footage of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Both of these are Todd's matches, but I did manage to get some playtime in. I got my butt kicked, though. XD
I missed out on most of the qualifying rounds and finals because I seriously didn't want to deal with Strip traffic and the severe heat. So we just stayed at home and watched the stream. Needless to say, they were AMAZING. I know the women's invitational got a lot of flack, but I thought the players did a great job. French player AAA Kayane played a mean Chun Li, but Texan Burnyourbra was awesome. Major props from a fellow female fighter.
The HD Remix finals went to Snake Eyes and his Zangief, making him the first Zangief to ever win the tournament. And the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom finals were won by EG Marn and an unusual team of Zero/Alex. They beat out a badass Yatterman No. 1/Batsu/Yatterman No. 2 team played by Kbeast.
The real talk was about Justin Wong losing to the Taiwanese newcomer Gamerbee. I won't get into it since it's been driven into the ground at this point, but wow. I was so happy that an Adon player took him out, because Adon seriously gets no recognition. Gamerbee eventually took 5th place in the tournament, leaving Daigo and his legendary Ryu to battle it out with Ricky Ortiz and his Rufus. Ortiz put up a great fight, but Daigo won it again.
And with that, another EVO has come and gone. Now to wait around for next year, though I do need to contact them about a few things.
Until next year, people...
