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

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 :P 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:

      Hes Short as Hell but Man I Like This Kid

      What I'm saying is that he wouldn't be on my board to be drafted. He'd be on the "if these guys go undrafted, give them a call" board.

      Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.

      Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky.
