Is anyone going to be attending EVO2004: WORLD FIGHTING GAME CHAMPIONSHIPS this year?

If you didn't know, the EVO series is the largest annual gathering of the fighting game community for a memorable battle between the best players in the world. The games set up for this year are:

Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
Capcom vs SNK 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Tekken Tag Tournament
Tekken 4
Soul Calibur II
Guilty Gear XX

Also this year, including the tournaments for the main games, there will be an open console gaming area with tons of video games, also various game companies will be showing off some of their goods over the 4 day event with a Mini E3 like showing.

Some of the sponsors already confirmed are noted on the main page of www.EVO2K.com !

Hope to see some of you there! I'll be running some of the Tekken events and running around owning some fools in fighting games. :)

In addition to that lineup, this year also marks the first time SNK tournaments will be on the scene. www.fierceslash.com is running several "unofficial" tournaments for the most popular of the SNK fighters:
King of Fighters 98
King of Fighters 2002
King of Fighters 2003
Samurai Shodown 2
Samurai Shodown 5
Garou: Mark of the Wolves
Last Blade 2
SNK vs Capcom

Info on that can be found here: http://fierceslash.com/forums/announcement.php?s=&forumid=11

If you like SNK games, and you'll be in the area, I highly recommend going. The SNK scene is still small, and needs all the help it can get to get noticed and get more players. Sides-I'm pretty sure anyone here would be a match for the players in that tourney.
