EVO 2012 is now! EVO July 6-8 CRY ON STREAM, WIN EVO

So if i wanted to go i should go 1-2 days early?
Edit: Or just drive down and save $ on plane tickets?

Up to you, if you go early you can meet people/do whatever in vegas, but it's obviously more hotel fees and extra days to take off work/other parts of your daily life. You don't really have to get there several days ahead of time, just don't get there on the first day as the pools usually starts fairly early. This year games started 8am. If you're playing early (and you'll be able to check pool assignments a couple weeks before it starts), you probably don't want to get there like 2am the previous day just to end up playing your first game tired/nervous as fuck.

You should drive if you can and live within a reasonable distance or just don't mind making the trip. It's extra time, but will save you a lot of money, especially with the date they have it booked for this year.

Time to start training...one of these days :\

[richardd]

didnt evo JUST happen? my life is going by way too fucking fast

[Kaelan?]

Was in july, yeah. But it's the kind of thing you start planning for months ahead of time

[Blackice]

I'd wait for the Evo rates on Caeser's. Trust me, being in the actual hotel is more than half the experience. The fun happens in your neighbor's rooms at 2 AM. If we get enough BG ppl interested, I'm sure we could get 3-4 rooms next to each other if we book far enough in advance.

Count me in, not missing it this year for sure.

[richardd]

i'll hang out, given enough other BG'ers will, but dont get mad at me being a jew and not wanting to spend 100 bucks on a shot of tequila. but i'll try to talk sono' into it, too. maybe we can get some kind of bundle package on our airlines/hotels

[Deejay]

Should really just be called Street Fighter & Marvel vs Capcom EVO 2012. Everyone mouths off everything else as "filler".

SFxTekken will be a big ass title as well.

[Aurara]

Good thing i cant drink, i get to be cheap D:

[Vandole]

insane is just mad that everyone hates tekken and mk9.

Spoiler: show

at least tekken is going to be involved in the big game this year?

[Xno Kappa]

MK9 will probably held in a hotel room with 3G streaming from someone's phone.

Tekken brought us ArisxKayo, don't hate.

[Vandole]

Cosign. I have another two friends in the LA area that will want to go as well. And another stationed in ATL.

[Nitsuki]

I so want to go, i need to start saving up right at this moment.

[Akiyama]
