The impending SF4 and SSF2T:HD releases, and my sudden re-insertion into Virtua Fighter has had me visiting fighter game websites sites recently, and checking up on the EVO scene. I discovered that not only did Dave Sirlin do some of the re-balancing work on SSF2T:HD and came in 5th at EVO 2007, but the MvC2 competitive scene has huge drama thanks to the one who calls himself The Dark Prince. He wasn't chosen for the 5 on 5 West Coast team.

I know all the top marvel players....And all the drama son. Was there when desmond and Sanford fought in the fucking snow in jersey noob so keep in mind...I know wtf is happening .Shady is overrated and duc jr. needs to learn the rules!

INC: skirting the line between nerd and gangsta
INC: haha working hard to get to the "knife to a gunfight" quote

So after that interview Dark Prince played the accused washed up veterans "Clockwork" and "Shady K" for over $1000.

Clockwork:

Shady K:

Sanitario666: GRIM
INC: maybe he needs a better bandana
Sanitario666: I think they met at a motel room
INC: underground Marvel vs Capcom fights
INC: Michael Vick is involved

After all this, the EVO 2008 plans involve this new rule:

Important Annoncement: No Thugs at Evo

98% of Evo attendees are just looking for a great weekend of gaming, but there is a disturbing undercurrent of bad behavior coming from a few individuals who are looking to start trouble. After the finals I personally witnessed a shouting match that turned into a shoving match where GVR security was called to break it up. This bullshit behavior has no place in any Evo event. Parents take their KIDS to Evo people. It is our highest priority to provide a safe, fun environment for all Evo attendees.

Therefore, Evo now has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for violence, threats of violence, intimidation, and other forms of thuggery. ANY threat of violence or extreme intimidation will result in an IMMEDIATE and LIFETIME ban for you and your whole crew. I don't care if it's on YouTube, the SRK forums, or at the event itself. I urge all past Evo attendees to get some perspective -- Evo is a video game tournament. A VIDEO GAME TOURNAMENT. Fighting at a video game tournament? Please.

There is a difference between hype and thuggery, and we all know what that difference is.

Is it the difference between New Orleans flood survivors who "find" food rather than those who "loot" it? :(

I would not want to play Mike "Chaos" in Tekken 5 in a dark alley. NT by Worm 02/19/2008, 5:59pm PST NEW
