I watched all of the SSF4 semifinals Friday and have watched Marvel and some KOF on and off on Saturday.  Maybe I missed some other streams, but I hate that so much hasn't been shown on camera this year.  :/

Seems like despite the amount of entrants in other games, the huge, hype crowd is solely there for Marvel and SF on the main stage.  :lol:  Everything else seems "dead" in comparison.

I've been watching on and off. I've seen a bunch of good SF4 matches and early MvC3 pools, but I think I missed pretty much everything else so far. :(

The ST tournament is so good. Kusumondo :bow

The FGC is kinda dead with all the shit thats been going on the last year or so, I love the FGC don't get me wrong, but I'm trying to invest my time elsewhere.

timezones is making this a bitch for me, but I'm going through the marvel archives at the moment. SF was pretty great. Saving VF and ST streams for later. :3

KOF13 Top 8 is on right now, there's been some good matches so far: http://www.twitch.tv/srkevo1

Game looks so good. It's a shame that I haven't spent much time with it. :(

Fuudo won VF5FS as well, to nobody's surprise.

These KOF fights are hype.

The KOF finals were SO GOOD. Best matches I've seen in all of EVO so far. Korea dominated.

Actually the ST tournament was pretty amazing too. Now a Tekken Tag 2 exhibition is on... the only thing that kills hype more than Tekken is MK9. :zzz

Post by: bork on July 08, 2012, 10:01:13 PM
I had to drive home from Athens, GA tonight...the trip took an hour and a half and although I couldn't see it except for at stop lights, I had the stream going on my iPhone the whole way back.  Just the commentary and crowd noise alone during KOF was SO FUCKING HYPE.   :lol

And now the hype levels have been destroyed by a Snoop Dogg video shoot and TTT2 exhibition play that nobody gives a shit about-- TTT2 will be HUGE at EVO when it's part of the line up next year, sure.  But get to fuckin' Marvel already.

I watched the ST finals on a stream archive this morning.  That was pretty awesome...better than some of the other games they had featured.   :lol

If they're still sticking to the schedule, there's an hour break after Marvel for awards and stuff...then AE.  No way I can watch it tonight.   :-\

anyone watch the SFxTekken finals? Which characters were in heavy rotation?

KoF13 Finals convinced me to pay for the HD stream next year

The finals were only a few matches since it was tag-teams.

IIRC it was Ryu, Julia, Rolento, Chun-Li, and Rufus.
Title: Re: EVO2012
Post by: bork on July 09, 2012, 12:13:05 AM
SFxTK finals:

1. WW.MCZ|Infiltration + Laugh (Rolento/Ryu)
2. EG|Ricky Ortiz + CVPR|PR Balrog (Rufus/Ryu)
3. RZR|Fuudo + MCZ|Tokido (Ryu/Chun-Li)
4. coL.CC|Combofiend + Mike Ross (Julia/Marduk)

They didn't stream anything else from the tournament on the Evo streams.  Don't know if someone else did.

With the updates coming to SFxTK we'd probably be seeing less Ryus in there, but the game may very well be dead after this Evo.  Still you never know- 3rd Strike wasn't popular at first either.

How do they handle the gems at EVO? Just stock gem configs?

No gems were used.

With Champ's showboating, it's almost like Infrit isn't even sitting there.

Every match in SF4 has been a blow up so far. At this point I'd put my money on Infiltration to take it. Guy's insane.

Infiltration was in a league of his own this year. Korea is now the best at SF4, KOF13, Starcraft, and maybe Tekken. True e-sport gods. :salute

I think the shooting game scene is pretty much the only area where Japan is still untouchable.
Title: Re: EVO2012
Post by: originalz on July 09, 2012, 02:53:03 AM
SF was definitely not as hype this year as before, but Infiltration was definitely the real deal, no one even came close to his level of play.

Goddamn, those raging demons were insane, some of those looked like they wouldn't have connected.  That guy seriously has mastered that move to the pixel.
