A shame I landed over there two days after Evo. A bigger shame that Vegas doesn’t know what Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike is, cause every ‘arcade’ there had either MvC2 (ugh), MvC, Alpha 3 (why?) and ONE machine for SF3:NG. And a Simpsons arcade machine with a broken Up on Bart’s side. Still dunno why I came back to NYC though. Vegas minus traffic light system and no 3S > NYC.

I did peek at the Evo SF4 finals before I left. Pretty damn fun to watch, and the result was a sliver of health away from what I hoped for it to be. First time I’ve actually been entertained by a big time tournament match of SF4. 3S is still my favorite though. Maybe I’ll hit the gym again soon and try to recapture my 3S glory and, if it’s still featured, try my luck on 3S next Evo.

I found this on the New York Tokyo Website about the party!
