Evolution 2012

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:

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
