NEWS: EVOLUTION 2004 is only 29 days away!
[Updated 6/30/2004 3:49:00 AM]

"The biggest fighting game tournament is back! EVO2K4 is a three-day Olympiad featuring tournaments for the most popular fighting games on the Playstation 2, Nintendo Gamecube, XBox, and Dreamcast."

From the www.EVO2K.com site...

WHAT IS EVOLUTION?!
The EVO2K4 tournament is a 3-day event devoted solely to hard-core competition on console fighting games. The tournament takes place July 29 - Aug 1, 2004, at Cal Poly University in Southern California.

This Summer, EVO2K4 touches down in Cal Poly University Student Union. The Student Union offers numerous accomodations that make it the ideal venue for hundreds of hungry power-gamers.

Cal Poly Pomona
3801 W. Temple Avenue
Pomona, California 91768

TOURNAMENT GAMES
The games for the 2004 tournament are an excellent mix of old-school 2D fighting and the latest visually-spectacular 3D brawlers. One thing all these games have in common is that they are incredibly difficult to master. Past EVO2K champions have studied their respective games for years, learning the tiniest ins-and-outs of the game engine to gain an edge over their opponents.

Here are the games selected for the 2004 tournament:

- Soul Calibur 2
- Tekken 4
- Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
- Marvel vs Capcom 2
- Capcom vs SNK 2
- Guilty Gear XX
- Tekken Tag Tournament
- Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo

***Admin*** · 07-15-04, 05:00 PM

I never heard about the EVO2K4 Tournament (EVO) before until now. And this is the 4th year that the event will take place at Cal Poly Pomona.

I signed up and will be there on Thursday (July 29th). Anybody want to meet up during the show? I'm a nice asian guy.
I'm not participating in any tournament but will be wandering around and taking pictures.

Keng · 07-15-04, 06:49 PM

I will play you Soul Calibur Keycee hehe

***Admin*** · 07-15-04, 10:53 PM

Are you going to be there Keng? No, I don't want my butt whooped in front of others.
I'm a lover, not a fighter. I stick with RPG games (Final Fantasy series) and Halo.

Keng · 07-16-04, 01:56 AM

I don't think so...there used to be a lot of us playing SCII but we just stopped playing....

gooniegoogoo · 07-16-04, 01:14 PM

hoy...i'll meet u guys there if my friend takes me...im as well a nice asian guy...a tall one!!! "its rare to see lots of tall asian guys now a days"

u hafta sign up to get in?? or just as a tourney player?

Mike · 07-19-04, 02:46 PM

No DDR contest??

That I got to go see.

Young Entrepreneur · 07-19-04, 11:56 PM

I think all visitors and players need to register by online to participate.

Where does EVO take place? The ASI arcade room (seems too small)?

lilusako · 07-25-04, 12:14 AM

i'd like to meet up with ppl @ evo.

Evo is $20 to get in and +$10 for every tournament you wish to enter. So... i'm just gonna go and chill out there since i'm not very good at fighting games at all.

Also - Evo will be held in the new rooms on the 2nd level of the Bronco Student center. There will be plenty of space for gamers up there.

anyone interested in training a newbie to fighting games? ^_^ i can't wait! I hope next week comes soon!

gooniegoogoo · 07-26-04, 11:55 AM

i'll train ya in guilty gear...hawr

if ya guys want to meet up somewhere...let me know...im only going with one friend so there's room for more

there was suppose to be a DDR contest Spring quarter...dunno what happened..

Sucks. I guess I am not going to the EVO tournament because I won't be competing in any game. DOn't want to spend $20 just to walk around and watch people player. Have fun guys and take pictures.

Hey gooniegoogoo I might take that offer up on Guility Gear. I've got GGXX for my ps2 so... i tried playing last night and it kicked my ass big time.

I'll be going with a friend or two... so.... shall i wear a strange beanie to indicate who i am?

As for paying $20. There is another option. Supposedly on the Boards (i've been reading around on Evo2k.com boards) the admin has been saying that you can go and watch the EVO tournament and not pay the admission fee (ie My girlfriend is comming to watch me play and she has to pay? blah blah blah... i just want to watch the tournament... i'm not compeating blah blah blah...). However - you won't be able to go into the "Bring your own console" room (BYOC Room). Where i think most people will be hanging out in that room while they are waiting between games.

Though - Namco is sending a representative and they're planning to have a playable demo version of Tekken 5. So... it might be worth it.... i'm not too sure exactly but that's what i heard. i can't wait - i'm so excited.

gooniegoogoo · 07-27-04, 08:49 PM

ur girlfriend can probably just watch for free. I mean, I bet there's no big 7' foot, black bouncer there. lol

as for the BYOC lounge, I don't have any games on me. I'll tell my friend to bring his Guilty Gear or something. I dunno.

what time does the thing start? or...what time are you planning to go? cuz noticing ya by your beanie might be hard if there is lots of people. So you can probably text message my friend or something.

oh yea, and does 20 bucks cover all 3 days (I hope) or is it 20 bucks per day?

Ology777 · 07-27-04, 09:29 PM

So when is the First person shooter tournament?

All this talk of video games I'm ready to bring some of you college kids to school... muhahaha

I don't have a girlfriend... o_O;; i was just making a statement. Um. for the BYOC lounge i'm tempted to bring my SNES and just a bunch of random games...

Registration and the BYOC room starts Thursday at about 3PM and goes until 11PM. Tournaments and what not start Friday - Sunday from like 10AM till 11PM.

I've got some strange beanies to wear... i'm not exactly sure when i'll be going. maybe drop buy on thursday after my class for registration and go hang around thursday and see whats going on. though my beanies are beyond weird... i'll probably wear my usual black one with horns on them. though Anime freaks who are at Evo might wear them too... but I'm a chick - so i think that limits that down quite a bit. ^-^;;;
