1UP.com's Richard Li just sent me this great video showcasing the ballroom of Caesars Palace and many of the people involved with EVO. If you didn't make it out to Vegas this year, watching this will ensure you don't miss next years EVO.
Notable Highlights:
- Ya boy Haunts, of course!
- Daigo signing a boob. What a pimp! When in doubt, pinky out, btw.
- Skisonic "in Wilson out" at the end!
Here's Richards notes:
Las Vegas, Nevada 2010 -- EVO 2010 took place at Cesar's Palace, a fancy pants casino and hotel in Las Nevada, where thousands of fighting game fans attended the annual tournament hosted byShoryuken.com. For three days, players competed across several games including Super Street Fighter 4, all trying to get out of their pools. I, while waiting for my turn, shot some b-roll around the ballroom, aided by friend Ray, who also filmed with my other camera. What you see here is a collection of footage gathered in two days: the start of the tourney and the end of the tourney. Highlights include Daigo signing his autograph on a lady's chest at the Madcatz booth, sitting and filming amongst the crowd, and capturing the intense, exciting moments near the stage during the Super Street Fighter 4 grand finals.
Shot with Canon 5D Mark ii and T2i. Music provided by the legendary Neil Young "Heart of Gold" from Harvest Moon. Graded in Magic Bullets using a custom grade based on the Blockbuster effect.
Special thanks to Ray, Mark, Toshi, Terry, Jayson, Mike, Anthony, Ramin, Nima, Neidel.

So if I go to EVO I can see douchebags wearing shades indoors? No thanks :(
^ Shades are a stylistic choice, and it is ridiculously bright in the ballroom anyway. Some people wear hooded sweat shirts indoors as well, crazy I know.
In Wilson Out.
Cool stuff very nicely done.
damn.. i need to make it evo next year!
Gotta wear shades when you're In Wilson Out all weekend.
Damn... you owned it Richard! :D Lovin your new pimp setup!!!!!
PRO video! Much respect!
Dude at 1:48 is mad handsome.
Great stuff Richard. Excellent choice of song too. That video just makes me feel good.
Don't worry haunts, I think wearing shades indoors is quite sexy and manly.
*claps* nice work Richard, thank you.
Mr Neil Young. Good stuff Mr Li. I just love seeing the intense look on peoples faces and then that build up to the crowd going wild. For anyone who says This stuff has nothing to give, look at this and say that. Say that to all those people who really care. I can not wait to go to my first evo next year.
Really great stuff man...
You got all of it in this video, from the desperate moments to the tired faces across the room
Mad props, and thumbs up for the ending with MarMan and Ski dancing like a mad man!
Awesome video, need more of this :)
The video was great.
Every time i press "esc" out of a fullscreen video in IPW, it directs me to another page. What gives!?
This video is so good. The song sets the tone so well. Shows that theres more than just hype at these events.

Beautiful work.
Yeah this video was excellent. I AM GOING TO EVO NEXT YEAR. I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES.
daigo grabbing his nuts @ 0:55?
Excellent work, Richard. Definitely nice coverage of our community.
I think my WTF facial expression was for Haunts, not Ramin/Nima.
This video is so good.
This is amazing. Vive la Evo, vive la passion.
