TGS Report post Posted January 27, 2011 for those of you that stayed in Vegas last year, do you remember how much it cost for a room wherever you stayed? Last year Evo was at Caesar's Palace, which was right on the strip, so it was a little bit pricey compared to previous Evo standards. Since it's now back at the Rio I assume prices will be cheaper like last time with the Evo rate (iirc it was something like $70 a day for Monday-Thursday, $120 Friday-Sunday or some shit like that for a 2-bed room). Or you can stay at the casino across the street from the Rio for slightly cheaper (iirc it was the Gold Nugget), though I personally suggest you stay at the Rio but that's just me.

St1ckBuG Report post Posted January 27, 2011 While it's still early in the year and we have obvious existing version differences with two games on the list (Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition and BlazBlue:Continuum Shift 2), there's a chance that those games will replace the outdated version in the lineup IF the DLC/addition is released at a reasonable time before Evolution. What's considered a reasonable time? Would the EVO staff ask us on our opinion before making any final decisions on which version to play? Either way I'm pretty psyched. Can't wait to see all the WC people again. Should we start a thread making a list of names of who is going (or just do that in this one)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Juice Report post Posted January 27, 2011 St1ckbug and I will be giving out lessons in GG/BB while people are playing, such as telling people you can't block throws and that Mist Finer is unblockable when mist is on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Wizard gave console SSF4AE a deadline of June 1 or else they'll stick to regular SSF4, so it's safe to assume that the June 1 date will apply to console BBCS2 as well.

SuperFX Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Let's just get Four Lokos and all die. While I normally can't fault this logic, it's Vegas. Everyone get everything to drink and we can all die Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshara Report post Posted January 27, 2011 I am pretty sure that CS2 will probably have a more flexible deadline than AE, simply because it is not as big of an event, so they probably wouldn't care as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St1ckBuG Report post Posted January 27, 2011 So, what's going to be the stupid pride/money match this year? Is David coming? We need that pro dodging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dacidbro Report post Posted January 27, 2011 I'm challenging The entire east coast to a 20,000 dollar money match. I figure that'll be about half a cent per match, so it's going to be formatted in FT.5 increments for time's sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figure that'll be about half a cent per match, so it's going to be formatted in FT.5 increments for time's sake. i really wouldn't recommend that since zidane lives on the east coast and you'll lose 20,000 dollars but hey it's your money also i'm probably not going to go to EVO unless PNW is going and i can get a ride with them for relatively cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunkyP Report post Posted January 27, 2011 First to half a match? What is it single rounds then? I'd prefer two 45 second round matches please. Don't want to lose because of a single round of random bullshit. Also shorter rounds so you can witness ec's incredible ability to play lame that wc is so weak at.

CakeWasBannedd Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Hey, I have fanboys too, so you should go talk to them instead. I thought you were smarter than that, but cheers to proving me wrong. i'm not being a fanboy, i honestly think zidane is better than you at this game. i'm not saying i think you're a bad person or that you're an asshole or anything like that, i think zidane is better than you at a videogame and i think it's pretty silly that you're insulting my intelligence because i said zidane is better than you AT A VIDEOGAME. or maybe you're just super insecure at how you play blazblue so you take offense at the slightest provocation, i dunno. anyways take this to pms if you still care, we're clogging up the thread with homolove <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
