Evolution 2012

^ lol.

People are visibly drained here. I wonder if things would be different had AE2012 came earlier.... wishful thinking, though.

But looking back on it, KOF was definitely the pinnacle of hype during this EVO imo -- even with the upsets. The losses now were hardly cheered for.

And just like last year I feel empty now

Well at least now I can play SSFIV AE online so yeah, going to do that now, see ya next year hype train

And now it's over.

Word on the street is, KOF indeed was all the hype.

KOFXIII finals was AMAZING.  Incredible, the best of EVO '12.

SSF4 was.....I don't know, over quickly.  Last year was way better than this.  Props to Gamerbee for reaching this far, and stuff.

[rednavi -RETIRED]

and the newest game in the schedule, SFXT, was pure fail. Damn that game has a hard time among the FGC.

great tournament, great experience

see yall again next year!

[SNT]

and the newest game in the schedule, SFXT, was pure fail. Damn that game has a hard time among the FGC.

Funnily enough, their finals were more hype than AE's according who those I've spoken to who were up for them.

Either way, there's still a long way for this to bounce back.  Hopefully it does, though.

[rednavi -RETIRED]

Well dunno, I still found SFIV far more interesting than SFXT, at least as a stream monster (The only thing I liked about the SFXT matches was that cool cross assault combo and even then that team lost so whatever ).

Well, some EVO highlights:

Definitely going to agree on KOF being the most hype. Never would have expected that, glad I decided to tune in, wish I could have gone for the most part.

[Hyogo]

I guess I missed all the hype, not like I care or anything

Here's the Grand Finals of KOF:

It's definitely the best Grand Finals in all EVO 2012.

BURN YOUR FIST INTO THE SKY!!!!!

[Duo Solo]

Caught all the finals except the SF4 ones. Checking it out on Youtube.

And yes, the KOF13 finals were very hype. Disappointed that Bala did not win.

[walt]

the 1 - 1 for Bala (around minute 10/11) was so hype.

[xaekin]

Only watched KoF, since it was all I was interested in. Yeah, the entirety of the finals was amazing to watch.

[TTTTTsd]

KOF was, in its entirity, TOTALLY the best part of EVO, TOTALLY the reason I stayed up, and totally worth it. Damn, that was amazing. Mad KOF and Bala are both fantastic players and I hope they show up next EVO.

[walt]

So hype the "K.O.F. K.O.F. K.O.F." chanting at the end.

Looks like KOF is here to stay, and US players should start getting into it.

[Nanashi_1337]

So if you ordered all tournaments by popularity, what would be the result, guys?

[TempesT]

KOF, UMVC3, SSF4

[TTTTTsd]

Miss TemP is 100% correct. To me, at least.
