To ask people if this is what they wanted from EVO.

But in all seriousness, I want to see how the community takes this golden opportunity and runs with it. It's a big chance, a lot of momentum, so everyone has to make this push count. I just hope the community doesn't squander it.

I'd like to see a definitive regional crew battle, but it would be stupid because Socal would run through everyone.

I'd, personally, like to see the attendance be really high for it. I hope everyone who has the money, time, and what not GOES and doesn't miss this opportunity.

I'm hoping for some really amazing mixed commentary of both informational and hype. And, it'd be cool if James Chen/UltraDavid (one of them) was in the commentator's seat with the other being a Smash commentator like prog or D1 (make it happen prog I know you can) just to see their reactions and how they might try to commentate it or w.e. It'd just be cool, is all. I know lots of people would watch it if they had a familiar face on the stream, even if it's not their favorite game.

Dream hype matches all over would be amazing. And upsets everywhere, to the point where we see someone like Westballz in GFs. Hell, M2K winning it all would be the best thing ever haha.

slightly off topic but "new controllers for $59.99" ? Where and how? (playasia.com?)

I want a great top 8. If we can showcase our game for what it is, we'd bring a lot of new players in.

Oh, and big attendance #s. Theres a lot of uncertainty about the numbers we'll pull (I see anywhere in between 250 and 1200 lol. Its very hard to predict), and hopefully our buildup in the coming months will promote it really well.

I see already that EVO is going to be a great melee tournament, but what I really want (as a consequence) are:

- positive publicity to the scene
- new players
- more tournaments like EVO in the future with big $
- recognition (FGC)

In short I want Melee to be the biggest fighting game played on a console, I want Melee to become huge

Just what I want

E:

I hope EVO would start a massive snowball effect, who knows it might, dreaming is fun

Is PP not going to EVO? Because that's the only way he won't be in the top 8.
ohh **** i forgot PP

all good though, PP top 5 for sure,

PP is one of my favorite falcos and has a championship mentality
sometimes i **** up when remembering all these top players
forgetting PP is like forgetting Armada or M2K
PP too legit to quit and top 5 if not winner of EVO

M2k beat PP in a falco ditto pride match. I'd like that. I'd also like for the robot to make his, full, return.

Other than that. I hope it's hype as **** and runs without controversy. I probably won't be ready to go, my first national is probably gonna be in 2014.

I wanna see:

Record breaking amount of entrants
Every pro there/international attendance (Over, Leffen, Javi, Canada, Amsah?, Japan)
Melee getting exposure and gaining more players
A high level player (KK, Hax, Axe, Shroomed, Unknown, Sfat etc.) taking out at least one of the top 4
I couldn't care less about FGC opinion.

Biased:

Hax in top 4
Canadians placing top 5
Ice Climber players breaking top 10 ( If there's any tourney to do it, it's this one)
Upsets in general

I wanna see all my low-tier heroes.
Vudujin, Axe, Scorpion Master, Wobbles' Mario, TheLake, Cosmo, V3ctorman, Taj's Mewtwo, QERB, Mofo, Simna, Gimpyfish, and DJ Nintendo's Bowser.

I know it'll never happen, but I want s0ft to commentate.

What do I want most out of it? Both the evo staff and the Melee community gettin along, i.e. no one ****in this up so we can become a regular event at it. Really though most of all I want to see all my melee bros having fun, I want to see fast awesome matches, and most of all I want to see FGC curiosity in our game enough to finally learn something about it instead of mindlessly dismissing it without truly understanding it.

I want the hype beyond belief 10 character crew battle between M2K and Mango that M2K brought up the possibility of a while back. Even if it is for only $10 or pride I could care care less. I just want to see it. Make this a thing.
