The qualifying tournaments will award cash prizes to the top 3 (three) places at a rate proportional to the number of attendees. Ten dollars from the registration fee of each participant will go into a tournament prize pool, which will be awarded to the top 3 finishers at a 7/2/1 split. For example, if 300 people enter the Capcom vs SNK 2 tournament, the total prize pool for that tournament will be $3000 ($300 x 10), paying out $2100 to first place (70% of $3000), $600 to second place (20% of $3000), and $300 to third place (10% of $3000).

In addtion, the top 8 finishers at all EVO qualifying events will receive a bye to the semi-finals round at the EVO World Championships in Las Vegas.

Hell yeah im going!

 

[choknater]

OMFG EPIC.... finally recognized after all these years lol.

i probably won't make it but... GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE SOCALERS, NORCALERS AND OUT OF STATERS WHO WILL GO!

 

[Raging_Missiles]

Holy **** Waffle if u get a ride or find a way to get there TELL ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** i already see the 1st going to Ken LOL I wonder who will get 2nd and 3rd cuz that will be some interesting stuff

 

[ResidentWaffle]

If only socal goes I can predict the results
1st Ken
2nd DSF
3rd HugS

I mean most likely I wouldn't win anything but I just wanted to mention considering the money involved a lot of people are gonna show up and if I can't get a ride I can probably bus it

 

[Zenith]

P.C. Chris and Justin Wong are makin a deal.
If Chris teaches Justin how to play smash, Justin will teach Chris 3s and Marvel.

Ken Hoang vs Justin Wong. jk

 

[EzynJAY]

lol isnt justin a beast at 3rd too wasnt he the chun li vs hidago or watever in that vid were he parrys her special >< but yea evos too good

 

[choknater]

are you serious about that jwong <3 pc stuff lol

it makes me zomg.

 

[nublet06]

lol im sure more than just socal will come. PC already said he wants to try to go to them all. this is gonna be like MLG's. expect to see a lot of the top players from that...showing up to this.

 

[Zenith]

So what games will we enter?
I'm goin for MvC2/CvS2(if they get it back)/SSBM/3s(maybe)/Sf2T(maybe)

EDIT: If any1 is up for some Marvel, I'll go anywhere and kick some ***. Team Matrix FTW.

 

[AzN_Lep]

woh neato, I'll definitely be going to LA. Maybe Vegas too if SoCal decides to take a trip up there.

 

[Oni Shinigami]

Wow...since I also play Tekken 5 DR and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike this is too perfect.

I'll be going to EVO to compete in all 3 of my competitive games =)

 

[WhiteOblv]

Sounds good ima try to make this.

 

[JTB]

Sounds coolios, I'll have to get some training for MvC2 or 3S :D

 

[EdreesesPieces]

HELL YEAH. This is so exciting. When the EVO crowd sees the finals match of this, I have no doubt they will be giving smash so much more respect.

I'm definately going!! I"ve been to EVO twice but just to watch.

And if there ever is a person who is able to have top success in both Smash and a classic fighting game, I will be amazed. I think the two are such different skill sets that it's going to be tough for someone to stay up high in both at the same time. Some people are able to do it among other fighters but they aren't as different as Smash is.

I don't really see much change overall in general and on the forums, people respect the game as it is now. Those who don't...probably won't change.

I would also argue that Tekken, Virtua Fighter, and other 3-d games are quite different from Street Fighter and other 2-d fighting games. More important than any skill set is top competition, and the only places I know of where you can truly get that in Smash and Street Fighter is Cali and NY. So I don't think it would be so unreasonable to see someone be a top player in Smash and something else. And of the smashers I've seen, I'd think PC Chris and KDJ would be strong candidates to do so.

Dunno how the SF scene is in MA/VA, though.

lol isnt justin a beast at 3rd too wasnt he the chun li vs hidago or watever in that vid were he parrys her special >< but yea evos too good

Justin is arguably the best in the US at 3rd Strike, although I think more people would go for Pyrolee in Socal. Anyway, you're thinking of Justin Wong vs. Daigo and yeah that's it.


EVO WEST IS ON JULY 27-29!
EVO MAIN IS AUGUST 24-26!

PLEASE BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR!

 

[Atlus8]

I'm so there!!!!!!!!

 

[J.Shadows]

Atlus lets role togethor ***

 

[Atlus8]

Alright, I'll have my license by that time, so I'll be giving rides...

 

[ResidentWaffle]

Really? 8-Bit carpool FTW!

 

[TheCatPhysician]

Awesome, I'm probably going to come to one of these. I don't get the point of having the first 3 tournaments qualifiers, though. It says winners of the qualifying tournaments will earn advanced seeds for the world finals, but then it says anyone who hasn't even been to a qualifying tournament is still welcome to compete in the finals.

Hey uh... What is the username/password to view the site...?

Nevermind... Earlier it was asking me for a username/password. Lame.

Basically EVO is doing match commentary similar to how VOD did it. All you have to send in a video of your commentary to this form and see if you get picked to commentate on one of the games.

Heres an example of a submission lol

LOL hey atlus i dont mind paying some gas money so if u can take us that would be the sickest **** and we should really start practicing consistently

U, Mark , and 8 bit should start playing more often together so when u come to my tourneys at TOymandala always try to push yourself so we can push ourselves to win as well

If DEHF , Richard and Damion are reading the same goes for u guys

LOLZ waffle i saw that Youtube link and i frigging funny with the commentators

 

[Shmooguy]

**** yeah this is awesome. I'm going to LA for sure and I'll try my **** best to go to Vegas. This combined with the grassroots MLG thing should make this a good year for smash. And brawl of course, but that's a whole nother subject.

Everyone better go to these and make these events huge so we get more support!

 

[mikeHAZE]
