Woke up and my throat was mostly killing me

Damnit Evo

rip

My throat wasn't killing me, but my voice is extremely raspy from cheering so much. Almost back completely though.

These stream numbers do not count IGN or NicoNico's viewers (and there were a shitton of people watching on NicoNico, if I remember correctly).

Those numbers have never been made public, IIRC (at least from Nico, and I doubt IGN is going to give them up).

Pictured: The best moment from all of EVO.

Indestructible >>>>>>>>>>>>

Don't think you were knocking it, but it was an amazing moment. People (including myself) were genuinely happy.

absolutely awesome. The big WINNER banner was great too. epic live.

That was a great touch. Wish they did it for the finals not held on Sunday though. I was pushing it via the Fight Facts though.

random: TTT2 has a great soundtrack

Hearing Snoop on the main stage at Evo was a big plus for me.


It's an old animation issue, the character is actually on the ground. It's in the comments.

I'm joining Enzo_gt in joining DA BEECH celebrations

How did we go from Enzo removing it from the original post to now everyone beechifying their avatars?

Focus Cancel in the air : http://youtu.be/b00xUrLsZL4

This is pretty old(2009). It's not air focusing at all, it's just the game animation system at work.

Anyone have that one character that you see in a fighting game that makes you pick up that game? Like for me it was Dudley in SFIII and Slayer in GGXX
 
Working on the interview of Daigo Ikeno (Street Fighter 3.3 illustrator and SF4 art director), I'll have an english version for you guys. Ikeno is so talented and humble it's almost disgusting. :3

And right after, it will be 30 minutes with Harada-san. WAY TO LONG I DON'T LIKE VIDEO EDITING. :'(

Is Ikeno that came with Makoto design or somebody else on the 3s team?
 
The character design was done by a design team at this time, but most of the directions and ideas were dicted by Akiman, the historical illustrator of the series. :)

Ikeno did the arts for 3.3 based on the designs:

Edit : he also made a lot of illustrations for the Alpha ports on GBA if I remember correctly. But also worked on Onimusha and Dragon's Dogma. :)

Don't think it's so much from cheering so much, it just hurts like no other. My dad also has a pretty dang bad cough right now too.
I had the exact same thing from EVO. Sore throat from hell, coughing up phlegm and tight chest. Turns out I have a chest sinus and ear infection. Someone was passing something nasty around. Still recovering

Damn, was that this year? If so, probably what my dad has. I'm sure he'll get checked out at some point, but I'm feeling (hoping, really, heh), that what I have will go away pretty soon. The worst thing right now is the shitty sleep I'm getting.

Oooh I'm excited for this.

This is exactly what I'm suffering through. Just add a super high fever. Next year, I'm OD'ing on Vitamin C and showering in sanitizer every 5 minutes.

On an EVO-related note, would it be okay to post some of my pictures here? Didn't take too many; mainly of the ballroom before the thundering herds arrived.

Go for it, if you are worried about pic size just post them in quotes.


I'm so glad I didn't get sick, my body can't really handle that. Then again I wasn't around a bunch of people the whole time.

I downloaded Continuum Shift Extend for Vita the other day (it was a PS+ title a ways back). Seems pretty cool, actually pretty Marvel-like in some respects.

Evola is real people. Ever since I came down with that nastiness in '09 its coldfx and vitamin C pills for the week before and after. Gotta put up those shields.

If you even remotely enjoy it get the new version. It has lots of small changes that make it way better imo.

You know I thought you were cosplaying platinum on stream until I realized it was xie

The new version is $39.99, so...nah. It's highly doubtful I'll get into it enough to drop real cash, but it's fun to play around with a series that a lot of people love. I also have Injustice, SFxT, Divekick and the perennial UMVC3 on my Vita so I've an abundance of fighters jockeying for time.
 
Yikes, you guys make me feel I got lucky and didn't catch anything while at Evo but now I also feel a bit paranoid D:

I should probably post photos I took later, but I'm sad that almost all the ones I took of the art exhibition look like shit :|

I know the evo hype has died down now but really glad Rose won so peeps will reevaluate her (yes she's my main... When I play SF). Now if someone will get to work on winning a major with deejay I can die happy.

BTW, how many patches before bullet or izayoi make it to top 8?

Yeah, I went in on some serious Vitamin D the week before and did Vitamin D and Vitamin C (as well as a lot of water) during the whole trip. At least it helped a bit.

The most important thing to do at an event at Evo is to take care of yourself. Stay hydrated and nourished, and try to get at least some sleep, and you should minimize the odds of getting sick. Vitamin C supplements do help, but you need to take them on a regular basis during and around the event (as your body will flush out the excess). I got the Evola bad in 2009 and after making those adjustments, I haven't gotten sick during or after the event.

This has probably been posted before, but Rise of Incarnates beta signups are live. Not sure if your Alpha signup carries over to beta.
I actually played some if this at Evo and... I'm not really sure what to think about it? I'm not really a Gundam player (tried it about five times total), but the lack of boost management options sucked. I did leave my feedback and they did acknowledge that it was a common complaint, so who knows.

And the sickness hit today. Fuck all the disgusting fucks at EVO who can't cover their mouth when coughing or wash their hands. I hope whoever did this gets hit by a car.

On another note, trying to find pics from the SC2 side tourney cause a local player got 7th place. Anyone got a heads up on where those are?

Yeah, the Alpha had lots of issues, and the lack of boost, boost canceling, and rainbow stepping is one of them. The game has promise but needs lots of help to get there. Really they shouldn't be afraid to go full Gundam on the game.
