Speaking of CCCV2, I finally got around to picking that up last week. Unfortunately it made a corrupted save on my off-brand memory card, and now I can no longer access the memory card manager for that card (or save CCCV2 progress on it).

Good luck at Evo North.

Oh, okay then. I didn’t really know much about how the event worked in the first place.

Alex, Evolution is run over a weekend. We have 8 tournaments, each with hundreds of people. It’s absolutely incredible that we are able to finish all 8 in one weekend. The organizers don’t even consider ggxx one of the top games for some reason. But anyway, if it had team and singles, every other game would want it too. That’s 16 tournaments. It’s impossible in the time allowed. I encourage a lot more protesting over ggxx team tournaments next year.

Kicks: I haven’t looked for a ggxx team. I enjoyed teaming up with Ruin and XenoTiger the last couple years, but I doubt they will be in Chicago. I’m prepared to go it alone, but maybe someone good will want to join me at the last minute, shrug.

Sometimes I do really well with Faust. Like, really well. I can take advantage of the items pretty well and play the odds with them. But then I get rushed down by a random May or Ino or something and with I either had way more speed (Chipp) or way more hp and damage (Potemkin). I’ll stick with him. It’s mostly just that I don’t have nearly the experience against a wide range of opponents with him yet.

I’m a little surprised that it would be difficult to find a team. Seems many would jump at the chance to team up with you. Though I can see why you would wanna keep out ‘rifraf’ as well.

I’m also surprised that you say your Faust has some problem matchups. I always felt Faust was pretty good at preserving his playstyle except perhaps against Millia, Chipp, maybe Eddie or Axl?
Who are these troublesome encounters in your experiences?

That’s odd. I keep hearing how huge Evo is, so you’d think they’d have solo and team tournaments for a game as popular as Guilty Gear.

Josh: Yes I’m familiar with Smash Brothers and your community. I’m glad we finally brought the game into Evolution this year (though we sort of had it 2 years ago, too). I don’t personally play it, but I have nothing against it. I voted to include it in the lineup, so you’re welcome. ;)

I hope Evo North has a strong Super Smash Bros. showing like Evo East did. I am unsure if you are familiar with the game or not, but our community site, Smashboards, has been reading and debating your work for years now. I hope you can get a taste for the scene because it has been strengthened by your work. The finals of Evo East can be found on YouTube and it was very exciting. I hope Smash will start to get the respect it deserves as a fighter at a flagship fighters tournament like Evolution.

I’ve fallen into the same dilemna with my Jam and Ky. I’ve wanted Jam to be my main since I first picked up the game. Now that Jam is a monster in AC, I’ve been able to get her to the point that friends dread playing against my Jam. On the other hand, it’s a bit degrading when I’ll switch to Ky every once in a while and get some easy wins due to his easier combos, good range and decent zoning capabilities (which I used to just blame on the fact that he was too good in Slash. Can’t really do that anymore). It’s annoying enough that I’m almost glad when I pick him after playing with Jam and lose pretty badly. Ah well. Here’s to hoping that my Jam gets better and my Ky gets worse. lol

I always pictured Faust would be your main as well.
