Did anybody else watch? Daigo vs. Gamerbee was one of my favorite matches, but S. Korea came with killers looking for that fight moneeeey O_O

I watched C:

didn't want you to feel alone here buddy

[SZ James]

Watched and i wish i hadn't.

I heard KOF had some good stuff but i missed out on that.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

I watched the whole thing .. from beginning to end .. every match , every game .. was orgasmic.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Just saw the UMVC championship. That was a crazy match.

I watched some of it. It's not too entertaining. The players are really good but the event needs to improve somehow. Unless you follow the fighting game community closely, you won't know anything about the players. They should do more to promote the top players. Also they show too many matches and games. I usually only watch the last day of Street Fighter IV. The others don't interest me too much.

And it's always a disappointment when Daigo doesn't win. He's such a likeable guy you can't help but root for him.

I haven't enjoyed in Evo since I attended in 05 to be honest. I haven't enjoyed the new breed of fighters that have come since SF4's release, but after helping out with Final Round for the last few years it's very impressive to see how far along they've come since Battle by the Bay.

KoFXIII top 8 was amazing. The crowd was insane. Mexico Horse Head slayed me XD

KOF was the hypest poo.

Also, Mame Spider


I was disappointed in the game lineup this year. Marvel does nothing for me, it's great to watch but not my style of fighters. SFxT and MK9 are both duds, I hope they're gone next year. TTT2 will probably replace SCV.

The lineup I want to see next year: AE, UMvC3, KOF, TTT2, Skullgirls, VF5

And Divekick on the side.

That's what makes EVO great. The FGC doesn't want to be esports. They want to have their own thing, their own identity. EVO is just for the FGC and I don't see the people who make the decisions on streams, mainly SRK, changing that any time soon.

The reason MK9 had so few entrants is because most of the MK9 good players are from the east coast and they played their major tourney in columbus the community for mk9 is actually very large.

It's still a snoozefest to watch. Just not entertaining at all.

You can thank our good friends at netherrealm for that one If you don't patch the game people are gonna take advantage of overpowered characters .. Kung lao , Kabal etc.

Until Netherrealm proves they want to make a real, decent fighting game, I won't be buying another MK and I think a big part of the FGC feels the same way. Regardless of the crap Capcom takes for some of their business tactics, they at least fix the game when they release new versions.

AE had 8 different characters in Top 8 and didn't feature 2 of the consensus top 5 characters in the game. There's really only a handful of characters that you can say are truly bad in AE,

I don't think mk was bad by any stretch of the imagination but you hit the nail on the head .. they have to care more about the tournament scene .. this isn't ps2 anymore .. people give a poo now.

oh god more fgc watchers on here than I thought.

KoF was really, really hype. Marvel was too even though I'm still mad FChamp won. SCV was actually pretty entertaining to watch too.

And AE was really good too even though Gamerbee losing broke my heart.

On the Subject of MK9/Netherealms. They don't get it. Tourney/Competitive Players viewpoints. Injustice actually looks solid but the stage hazards look really dumb (although they can be turned off.) It's a shame too. It took a f'ing billion patches for them to finally get things right in MK9. Maybe one day.

That said I really want to try Injustice and might rent it.

also really cool to see fighting bros on the huddle C:
