What are the side tourneys at EVO this year anyway?
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND Guilty Gear: XX Accent Core Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Versus Skullgirls Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown
likely more that I don't know about
I believe ST will actually be streamed on one of the official EVO streams

Well, I got 9th in the tourney I went to. My two losses were to the first place and third place guys, so I guess not that bad.
Although the 3rd place guy played Cody, and in the final round we played (with it tied at 1 game and 1 round each) he did his slide kick thing, and I did the heavy punch 360. It wasn't enough to kill, and he did a bingo to kill me after. Had I ultra'd, I would've won and moved on. Augh regrets.
I also lost the one match I played on that stream, to an Evil Ryu. That was the first good Evil Ryu I've ever played against, he had combos with really high stun. I did get the loudest reaction of the tournament when I had almost no life and the Evil Ryu guy had half life, and I did an ultra to win a round. <_<

played some 3s online, half my time was spent running into the same AFK guy who I have to keep saying no to in ranked, other half was spent getting bodied by 2 people better than me who I kept running into
there's this horrifying moment in your life where you try to chip someone out with a super and then realize they're Akuma and can teleport then just kill you
one thing I like about SF4's netcode is that people don't blame lag for losses as much. dude refuses to block down on his wakeup and eats supers all day and then complains about lag and boots me. so lame.
now as an aside I just played my first match of SF4 ranked in weeks and played a guy from Denmark and would like to take this opportunity to complain that I lost because of lag
Oh hey if anyone's on SSF4, I'd encourage you to go to the leaderboards and find me on your list of friends and watch the most recent replay with my name there.

Hecker doesn't know if the fighting-game community has the attention span or interest in such a (non-)violent departure
I like how the article implies fighting games are for people with no patience looking for violence.
Wait no. I hate that.
I think you're reading into it a little bit too much.
But then this part:
"If his EVO experience goes well, Hecker said he'd jump at the chance to have SpyParty featured at 'the hardest-core tournaments' in competitive gaming."
He's already there.

From: AlphaRayAllen | #238 What's the verdict on TAC infinites?
They looking to keep that crap out? Mr. Wizard has said they won't be banned at Evo. If Capcom ever patches the game again I would expect them to be removed, but that's looking very unlikely.

I never liked Marvel 3 to begin with! I wish they still played Marvel 2. I never played that, but it's more fun to watch.
actually the thing I'm most excited about this Evo is the ST tournament of legends. that looks sick and there's a lot of good names there. wish they would keep running the old games that people still play (so basically ST and 3s) every year.
That's cool. My relationship with that game is sour enough that I don't care much.
Well if I recall correctly you didn't watch Marvel at the last major (or rather you stopped watching). Then again why pass up an opportunity to say something negative!
That being said though, all these infinites popping up sucks. TACs are probably my least favorite part of the game and now being able to perform infinites off of them is just ugh. Marvel is my favorite game to watch with most of my favorite FGC personalities, I hope these don't ruin it for me.
I don't know why I bother playing online, just irritates me. jungle strike + can't see startup frames + the other dude taunts at the end, like doing full screen mixups and random supers in lag is some sort of accomplishment
why do I play this game online, why can't I just be happy with offline forever
