Evolution 2012

[TempesT]

That's gonna be a lot of people's lists.

[Bastard Mami]

so, in short.

kof 13 is getting more popular.
umvc and ssf4 are solid, umvc3 still ahs new things being found out.
not even evo managed to make sxt look interesting/fun.

[Duo Solo]

Going to pick up Duo Lon thanks to those matches.

My brother and I were cracking up at the way Takuma runs.

[Nanashi_1337]

MK was also okay, Perfect Legend was really good, though there were too many misses in combos from other players. Also, it's a pity that in the end the Grand Finals was quite one-sided. Can't say anything about SCV, didn't see it.

[MDD]

KOF was the most hype thing at EVO. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even own the damn game.

Also Bala is a freaking beast and his Takuma is a monster. Dat Purple Rain Team.

[Kirishima]

I assume this your first time seeing Bala in action.  He was frequent in MLG streams and several other majors and is just as strong, almost to the point of being the best KOFXIII player until EVO.  Would love to see him in SBO one day.

[S.D.]

KOF was amazing, you just had to be there.
I like how Mad Kof was almost running my team.

By the way, I made it to quarter finals but I choked, but hey, Top 64 isn't that bad.

KOF > UMvC3 > SFxT > SSF4AE

You've no idea how much it hurts to admit that.

AE only had lower views because it was so late on east coast

Thanks for the extremely accurate stats.

[SNT]

I wasn't talking about viewers, just general enjoyment of the matches.  Honestly I'd slide MK ahead of SFxT too, but that's just on account of never getting to see good MK matches.

[Aldo]

Good to hear KOF getting the love it deserves  that reminds me I need to pick this game again and try to fix my terrible record

[Seadragon77]

Finally had a chance to watch the entire match in the finals of the KoF tourny... Hot damn that was hype! I was so hoping to see Bala make that epic comeback to end all epic comebacks, but Mad Kof's Chin... his Chin is nothing short of money.

[walt]

I like how Mad Kof was almost running my team.

Exactly what I thought when I saw him play.
But please don't pick up Kim, I detest how OP he is

[S.D.]

Nah, I think sticking to Kyo... even though, my Kyo was pretty much useless during most of my matches, Duo-lon and Chin did most of the work, I think the main problem is that everyone plays Kyo so everyone knows the matchup.
I don't like Kim either (I'm pretty sure that the Koreans always pick Kim because they're super nationalists), I'd rather pick Andy (He still needs Gen'ei Shiranui) or Mr.Karate (Only because he sorta plays like 2K2 Takuma)

I picked up some nice spacing techniques from Mad kof's Duolon (I don't like that combo he does though, I'd rather save the drive meter for Chin and the super meter for rekkas into SDM, other than that his spacing with the ghosts is just like mine) and Chin (I guess I need to use his roll punch more often, since that's pretty much a free drive cancel on hit... and also, super safe on block)
ANYWAYS, Bala deserved to win, he just got very nervous (It was obvious when he started to get random crouch HP's with Shen instead of command grabs) and spent way too much time trying to find the proper character to counterpick Duolon.

I might hit Box Arena next week (Some of the organizers were thinking about dropping KOF because matches take way too long though)

[walt]

I noticed how Bala just couldn't find the right match up for Duo Lon, it kinda made him look weak to change characters so many times

It wasn't until just this EVO that I noticed how OP Billy is, dat stick

[S.D.]

His best counterpicks to Duolon were Ralf and Benimaru.

The problem is that he received A LOT of rekka chip damage vs Duolon and he wasn't maximizing his damage, he wasn't doing what Romance (Or was it Reynald?) was doing, Benimaru's command grab right after Duolon's teleport follow up to rekkas.
