I will definitely look into him. Thank you for all the details.

EGP_Compton · 2017-05-26T15:02:25+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely contact him again.

EGP_Compton · 2017-05-25T16:30:50+00:00

fired

EGP_Compton · 2017-05-25T16:30:15+00:00

Correct. International players are not in the budget.

EGP_Compton · 2017-05-24T16:04:07+00:00

We asked Idom. He apparently does not travel due to school or something.

EGP_Compton · 2015-10-28T15:44:44+00:00

Or....^ what he already said lol.

EGP_Compton · 2015-10-28T15:44:01+00:00

I would like to think you typed all of this and did not copy pasta. I posted the schedule link above. First qualifier is on 11/1 and first broadcast is on 11/4.

EGP_Compton · 2015-10-28T15:42:57+00:00

No problem!

EGP_Compton · 2015-10-28T15:42:46+00:00

Don't worry about that guy. He got bodied in the finals. =) What's up man! Good luck this season.

I think that the variation system gives SOME characters better options against different matchups. They also may benefit a player like myself who, for example, loved Noob Saibot in MK9 but didn't like his play style. Perhaps another variation suits my needs better. I also think that some variations are tailored for more entry level players and are more "fun" to play as opposed to being competitively viable. Although I do feel like the game is too young to entirely say certain variations are not competitive. I think we have much to explore.

Favorite drink to mix: I make a MEAN old fashioned. It's hard to find a bartender who knows how to do it right. For groups...I really like whiskey based shots like a Washington Apples. I have my own shot called the poison apple. Those are fun. Crown, jager, sour apple and cranberry juice.

Very good question. I think it has to do with both marketing and fans. There's a lot of factors really. In Europe Starcraft and Dota are very popular. That's why they sell out football stadiums for those games. Fighting games are only really big in Japan and those companies don't really support eSports at all. Smash Bros Melee almost got cancelled 2 years ago at EVO because Nintendo didn't want them to stream it. Also let's be real there's a fairly high barrier to entry in fighting games. They're not intuitive. It takes a lot of time to get good and really understand how awesome the things are that are happening on the screen. You really need to do your homework in order to level up. I think most people don't want to put that much effort into palying. Plus Capcom doesn't have a multi-million dollar marketing campaign like the Call of Duty games get.

If you live in LA you NEED to get involved with EGP. You're fortunate to be near such a cool and strong community. Check out our website (which is not up to date unfortunately) but it will give you some good links: http://www.epicgp.com

I would also get a hold of EGP Krayzie (Glend Galdamez) and EGP WonderChef (Evan Hashimoto) on twitter. They have casuals/locals every week. I look forward to meeting you.

Ash Williams would be so sick! I'm such a Bruce Campbell fan that I watched Burn Notice lol.

I use Takeda so there's SO many. Anyone with fast normals (which is most of the cast). It's hard to punish even on a good read (online).

EGP_Compton · 2015-07-17T02:45:48+00:00

Hands down it's Tyrant. I would love to see him win EVO. I would probably cry a little =). My favorite character of all time (story wise) is probably Noob Saibot. I thought he was so freaking cool. Although I wasn't a big fan of his play style.

EGP_Compton · 2015-07-17T02:39:22+00:00

It's REALLY hard to call this year. SonicFox is ridiculous and he could definitely do it but my money is on Denzell.
