Twitter quote from Tom Cannon said:
If the people want it, this is something Evo could invest in. PLS like/retweet if you're onboard for something like this.

That would be cool since we should not expected any other awards show to accurately represent the breadth and diversity of the FGC

I would assume this would just happen at EVO. It doesn't really make sense to invest in a separate event.

after a huge swell of support for the idea, he also said



so there's a really good chance that it's happening.

Best Pop-Off has to be mandatory.

And biased as this may be, give it to Lil' Majin for his Rock impression. lol

The primary goal of most awards is to generate interest in a profession. Hiring better talent ensures the industry improves over time.

If these awards are marketed seriously the effort will be worth it. But if they don't generate interest among casual fighting game players I don't think it will be worth the effort.

Yea. less focus on specific games and more on players/matches and developers IMO. last thing we need is some dickwagging between the various fighting game communities, because besides, that its by far my favorite gaming community right now

Go for it. I'm down and I'll probably be going to next year's Evo, so that'd be great to witness in person.

The city beautiful
FGC (especially at the top with Mr Wiz, et al.) is too "buddy-buddy" and insular to do this right.

I'd probably have more confidence if Rick the Hadou and BearUNLV. They've always had a great barometer of their respective communities.

The VGA's do a poor job of representing games outside of the action/adventure/RPG type so I'm down. Someone should do one for strategy games as well.

Tom's a great interview, he's been with the FGC since the beginning. Definitely appears to be the more outspoken of the Cannon brothers.

Damn, after leaving Bolivia Evo really stepped up his game at fighting. Good for him!
