What's that you say? EVO's over a week away and it's too early for a thread? Well since all the information about it is out, this might help raise awareness. Plus new things can happen! =o

There's some other stats floating around too like how many entrants for each game ONLY signed up for that game.
There's some other stats floating around too like how many entrants for each game ONLY signed up for that game. IIRC something like 30% for AE, Marvel, SC. 20% for KOF, 40% for MK and 6% for SFxT.

Tag. I need to get back into the stream watching scene for this! Can someone kindly tell me anything notable that's happened in the FGC since SfXT killed my interest? It was around the day that Gootecks quit.

Gootecks "quit" months ago dude where have you been
I cut back on watching like twenty events a year and decided after last EVO that I would only watch EVOs.
So I have been not paying attention for a year.

stickin' with SF4! also, Marvel is probably gonna have the same guys since only the US really plays it. Japan's gonna represent SF4 hard so a lot more chances for something crazy to happen.
I really doubt most of the top players will even go for it. A lot of their teams have TOD combos without risking a TAC break anyway and it gives your opponent a s***load of meter. Also not a lot of time for most of them to implement into their gameplan. I suspect that if they do happen, it'll be at lower levels of people who think infinite automatically means overpowered/broken.
From: Shoenin_Kakashi | #034 Im missing something, but is every TAC infinite using Down/Blue? Most of them. A few use up or side (the video I saw of Dorm's used side exchange, and the infinite Chun has had for a long time uses up exchange).

So you don't need to be registered to participate in the side tournaments, right? I'm bringing a friend with me who's not hugely interested in the main games but might play one of the side games if registration isn't necessary.

i don't think so. a lot of the side tournaments registration are on-site (except VF as far as I know) but you might want to double check that
You don't need to be registered ahead of time for side tournaments, no. Besides Virtua Fighter since that's being run by SEGA, and ST since that's invite-only (maybe there's a separate free one though)
If you don't have a spectator or competitor pass you can't be in the main ballroom on Sunday though, you have to go to a separate free room where they'll have the stream running
I have been lurking a bit in fighting game topics for a while and it looks fun, but I don't really play fighters or know tons about the whole community. Were I to try to get into this stuff a bit, what games would be good to watch? Any classy players I can root for? Other stuff I should know?

it really depends on what you're interested in. if you're just starting out you might as well check out a bunch of them for a while based on what you think looks cool/other aesthetic reasons. competitive interest for me stemmed from casual interest so i was actually invested in some of the series/characters that made me want to go over into the competitive side
but yeah i don't know how experienced you actually are with fighters so maybe some other people might be able to help you out better here but check out the main games (Street Fighter, Marvel, KOF for 2D; Tekken, SoulCalibur, Virtua Fighter for 3D, etc.) lot of stuff out there
time to take tom under my wing and teach him about FIGHTAN GAEMS (but seriously if you want to beat anyone better than kleenex find a better teacher)
VF5 and Skullgirls are $15 each, digital, and new. Most of the big games are probably sub-$40 by now.
As for "classy" players to cheer for, believe in the Mike "Mike 'Mike Ross' Ross" Ross who believes in you. (there are more class acts in the FGC than not, really. you probably wouldn't like Marn, Filipino Champ, or ChrisG, though)
