I guess it'd be kind of a stretch to assume any of you were going to attend, but in the beginning of August I'm trying to go to Las Vegas for: www.evo2k.com/Fighting Game Tournament, and a well respected one at that. I plan to go for Capcom vs SNK 2 (K-Groove Cammy, Sagat, Rock) and Brawl (Kirby). Anyone thinking about going?

If I win one match I'll crap my pants, this is how ridiculous the players are at this tournament. Just look at this: youtube.com/watch?v=aGoB_vVmBs4MvC 2 video, Magneto is THE best character in the game.

Only copies worth getting are PS2 or Dreamcast one, unless you're gonna pick up the actual Arcade version (which costs thousands of dollars)
The reason DC and PS2 are worth getting is they are as close to the arcade as they could possibly be

the ps2 version is even harder to find then the xbox though, plus its more expensive. if you can find one at gamestop the xbox version runs at about 59.99, the ps2 version runs 79.99

ps2 version is rare thats why and the xbox version is rare, but bad so i wouldn't recommend getting it

That's how gay this trick is. Basically the glitch consists of gambit flying up the screen, and then past the screen, and then forever. Basically Gambit can hit the enemy once, and then fly away on the wings of cheapitude until time runs out. Lammmeeee. :< Also Gambit is like low-mid tier, gets beat by so many characters.

I just got back from Evolution 2008, holy crap was it amazing. The tournament runs on double elimination, so here's how I did: Capcom vs SNK 2: First Match - Win. The guy used C-Vega, Ken, and Sagat. The guy clearly didn't know how to use C-Groove. I think he kinda read on the interwebz that C-Groove was good, and decided "I'll take it!" Second Match - Lost. I played a guy named Edward Ma, who if you don't know is pretty good. Used A-Sakura, Bison, and Vega. I had no chance, A-Groove is seriously hella-brokez. Last game I got the fence painted on me. Third Match - Lost. Played Shotokan. Not that amazing, but I played the match badly. I ended up beating him one game, and beat me the other two. Super Smash Bros Brawl: First Match - Won. Played a Luigi, and beasted him with my Kirby. Second Match - Lost. Played a MetaKnight, and I played it the wrong way. Should've stolen his tornado ability. Third Match - Won. I beat a Donkey Kong. Fourth Match - Won. I beat a person who didn't show up for his match. Fifth Match (Almost at the end of the Loser's bracket) - Lost. Lost to another Metaknight. Overall the tournament was hella-amazing, and if I can i'm gonna come back next year. Evolution 2009, Get hype

The hotel we stayed in (The Tropicana) seriously sucked the big one.
After I played my games, the EVO staff let me help out with running brackets and stuff (which is hella awesome considering it was my first time going) and there was some serious bullcrap going on.
AC in the room didn't work, and if it did that usually meant you had no hot water. We had TWO PS3s stolen, and a box of DC to PS2 controller converters as well. The entrance to the exhibition hall was seriously like, "Oh look a door is blocking my way. Let me just breathe on it *CRASH* Sweet, I'm in!"
