Well, it's the biggest and best fighting game tournament in the world... Evolution. Being amongst the top players in the world was an honor and a privilege, and I was in awe at some of the skill I was seeing across the board. The Japanese and Korean players were amazing to say the least, and the top USA players didn't fail to impress either.

Well, I'll just come out and say it... Neither Jet or I made it to the finals in any game. We first got our asses handed to us in MvC2 (as expected). Then they called my name for CvS2 (even though I didn't sign up for it), and they called Jet's name in Third Strike (even though he didn't sign up for it)...  So we said F*ck it, and gave it our best, but there were of course much better players... Much better players that were there to win, so there was no competition really... Yea, we got owned. But it matters not, because most of the time we were playing casually, and we definitely had some enjoyable casual matches in many games! It was a blast.

...
Major League Gaming.

.
Even the famous "frag dolls" were there... I remember seeing them on TV.

She's my friend on myspace. Haha.

There's a shot of Duc Do (The World Champ of MvC2) handling the MvC2 brackets.

That's Jet standing on the chair in the white shirt... Haha.

.
Jet playing some MvC2 with Duc looking on.

Jet playing some X-men VS Street Fighter.

Me VS some guy in SFA3 that was really good with A-ism Blanka... My A-ism Mika gave him a few good matches tho.

Me VS Duc Do in Samurai Shodown 2!!! And wouldn't you know, it was 1 to 1, and we didn't get to finish our match because they decided to cut the power during the middle of it... They had to use our TV for some other game!!! How could they?!? It was such a good match. Genjuro VS Ukyo...

The only other game me & Jet signed up for was Tekken 5, easily the game I was most confident in, and we were both disqualified because we weren't there when they called out names. Disappointing? Yes... but that's what you get when you mix two guys like us with Las Vegas on a Friday night... We just couldn't wake up on time. Long story short, we had a late night consisting of drinking, gambling, and Jet mingling with some crazy girls (It was all his fault!)...  None the less, we had a really good time and that's all that matters... Actually, we had the best time, I mean the BEST time!!!

Jet did some artwork on the plane ride there... We also got in quite a few rounds of Card Fighters Clash! Heh. 

Evolution also hosted the world premiere of Street Fighter: Generations, the sequel to the popular Street Fighter Alpha anime. Of course, we missed the premiere, mainly because they changed it from Friday night to Sunday night and we had to fly back home Sunday night. Ohh well... But we did grab a few posters (as seen above).

Jet also scored a rare promo EVO Tekken Tag banner from the cool guy that runs VGO Network... A sweet parting gift for getting owned in Tekken Tag.  Lucky mothafucka... Go ahead and unveil it... And take off that ridiculous eye patch! (his evil eye was giving him some trouble).

That's some bad ass shit right there... Jet has one red eye, just like Kazuya... Muahaha!!!
