Northwest Evo thread!

[Mickey D']

I just got done reading the evo article that Jesse Gan made. It really inspired me to go this year.

I need a couple of people in my group so that I can cut back on expenses, I figure that all I need is about 400 dollars for the trip and I'll be set.

Who's going? Discuss!

[FullMetalRoss]

I missed two years in a row which is really makes me sad. I'm going to try and go this year. That article also inspired me! I'm looking at setting aside about 800 dollars to go...

[FrAnkDAdAnk]

The last time i went to evo was 2k3, games aside it was one of the most memorable trips i've ever went on. I think it's about time for another team seattle trip for everyone....so you might count me on on this one.

[Virsaga]

I'll go with I live in OR but I can put some cash down like around 1000 me and my bro will be going but he aint gonna enter he just supports me so ya

Damn man 1K? Thats crazy dude! I'm sure Zach is gonna go! I'll wait till the thread gets a little more reception.

[00000000]

I"m down too... Should 'ave about 1K in tow ;]

[N-Ken]

Deezo needs to show up to evo, it would cement it as the greatest event ever!

[Mechanica]

I'd love to go to Evo (I've always wanted to), but I can't really push myself to spend that much money to just watch people, because I really don't think I could hold my own against anyone at Evo at any game. :lol: Plus, I don't have any real life friends who like fighting games in the SRK way.

read the most recent article on the SRK home page... everyone in the NW scene, besides zach, is friendly. i only hate you because you beat me with cammy, but otherwise if you went to evo i'm sure you'd have a good time getting to know people from the NW and elsewhere.

I don't have any friends that play either. Not gonna stop me :D:D

We should get a big convoy of Seattlites to go down to Vegas.
I can drive, but hopefully my car can survive the sweltering desert sun :wgrin:

[FrAnkDAdAnk]

I will say this. For the 3 trips i've gone with Team Seattle (Evo 2k2, Evo 2k3, and NCR in 2k4?) They were some of the greatest times i've had. Lots of memories, TONS of random events (The trace prewitt award, me tricking robert into believing that he got DQ'd from the SC2 tournament. WHICH IS STILL ON TAPE BTW, the miraculous blowout in 13 right after i brought it up, Zach's dominance in the Movie game, Kyle and myself getting lost in San Fransico for like 10 min. etc. etc.) Those events were way better than my random matches that i had. Plus it's tight to actually see how competition is for other games besides the ones you play. I won't forget how random ppl were hyped to play VF4 after seeing it on the big screen in 2k3, also 3s as well. Evo is like a rave. You have to go at least once.

My god frank you have inspired me even more.....

I found 2 people that I can go with that can cut the expenses down quite a bit. But yeah, I think Seattle should all go down and kick it! it'll be a great experience!

I only want to go this once! I'm sure that as a northwest community we can make it happen!

I'm kind of in the same situation, myself. I might end up going, anyways, though. Only because my family is doing a Reno trip for the summer ^_^

[HellSap]

Yeah, we were discussing details for getting to Evo. Maybe we would drive... and if we all went as a kickass convoy, I bet it would be a blast.

[YabukiStyle]

I think I'll make it for a third year. Hell, I better. I'm actually 21 this year. This time around I won't get carded for buying a damn sandwich. Fuck that good ass sandwich shop.

Mutha fuckin road trip bitch!

[Tempest253]

Flying down there?!?! I don't know..

[Deezo]

I just know that if Im gonna go, Im gonna train crazily in preparation. Besides all that, theres a grip of people I need to kick it with from outside of Seattle, as well as meet some new people. Havent been to an Evolution since 2003. A reaaaaaaaaally longtime.

[00000000]

I need practice.

[Mechanica]

Hella.

I need training partners! I've been practicing a lot lately. Training by myself isn't bad, but i need people to play with if I'm ever gonna get better!

[Gray Fox]

I really do want to go, but all that money just to get toasted? I dunno. Plus I only play 3s, too.

[LawrencIUM]

$h!t i'm down for some VegASS!! Pussy

sup with it MANDEL?

[Preppy]

I really do want to go, but all that money just to get toasted? I dunno. Plus I only play 3s, too.Playing is usually the least interesting thing you'll be doing there, really. It's much more of a social thing than it is a gaming thing. Clearly the gaming is awesome, but it's about meeting new people and having fun. :tup:

Shit man I'm tryin to go to Evo hella bad man. You know what's funny Lawrence? Everytime you talk about free white girls, you remind me of this time I ran into some random black guy from Chicago, and the first thing he said to me was...

"Man I'm from Chicago, and I just wanna know where them WHITE GUHS GONE WILLLLD MAYNE!"

Hahah, shit kills me even to this day.

[hairymaster]

Fuck the Bears.

Seriously, where they at?

[Mickey D']

bump

[Pablo_the_Mex]

I really should go. I have positive space airplane tickets at my disposal and money is never the issue even though I only play black jack and never really gamble anyway. I really just want to go and yell out "OOOOOhhhhhh" and "Whooooo" anytime I see something impressive.

[dann]

are there any hot chicks at evo?

[Mickey D']

"I can't feel my FACE!"

Hmm, so it looks as if I'll be going to Japan very soon starting may 12th. Gonna be pretty cool, going there to visit with family and be with my brother etc. Good stuff.

Other than that after I get back it's all about saving up for Evo. Who are some of the people that are going?

[Deezo]

Evo is lookin pretty grim for me, dunno, right now it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it.

EDIT:

Dann-Last time I was at Evo, I lost to a really cute Japanese girl who was good in Third Strike. But maybe I was lucky. I doubt any attractive girls have been going to Evo since then hahah.

see, that would have been the perfect story to tell your children of how you two met.

[nakima]

Hey Lawrence, i just took the time off for EVo, so get at me, i need to talk to RBX to see what hjis plans are.

[Pablo_the_Mex]

Been a while since anyone has posted in this thread.

So who is definately going to evo world?

I have the plane tix and room booked, and I am bringing Jie Yang's punk ass. Less than three months before Evo world but there are not that many rooms left at the Green Valley Ranch and the best time to get killer deals on plane tickets (round trip) is NOW.

I may even enter the tourney since I am there. I just want to show support for the NW players and show these fools who really runs the westcoast.

[Rairu]

if you are going you should enter the tournament.

right now there is like a 90% chance of me going. my skills aren't where i want them to be, but the goal is still to beat a noteworthy player from cali or the ec in the tournament. i haven't been to evo sinse the days when the tournaments were on cabinets, and i think its time to return.

[WasFemto]

EVO 2008 or bust!

[Peachy]

If you go to Evo this year you know it'll be bomb, cause I am going!



but.... who the fuck am I anyway.
