I just got home from Vegas like... five minutes ago. I think I'll just sum up my trip.
Evo was an incredible experience. It was so weird seeing people whose match videos I've studied, articles I've read, and podcasts I've listened to in the flesh.
I didn't do so well in the actual tournament (2-2 in SSF4). I let my nerves get the best of me and lost to a completely scrubby Cammy in first round, won two, and then lost in a mirror match Chun v. Chun. His footsies were just incredible.
I made like 30$ USD, 0.50$ CAD, a gum wrapper, and a discount card for 10% off the Capcom store in money matches though. =D
Bang The Machine was a lot of fun to watch. The producer of the film was there and said that they will probably be able to release a version of it to iTunes or some other means of digital distribution in the next year.
The Women's tournament got pretty intense too. This girl with Mike Ross (not sure if it was his girlfriend) was bitching out this girl dressed as Dictator who was playing against Choco Blanka so hard!
The ballroom went absolutely insane when Gamerbee beat out Justin Wong for a spot in top eight.
Finally, Tekken is boring as shit. Sorry. That was pretty much the most boring thing that I had to sit through xD. Lee vs. Law vs. Julia vs. Sheep.
