Evo 2013 - anyone else going?

[Frenetic]

WTF was Daigo doing 4 fierce uppercuts in a row against Tokido?

PR Rog switching to Fei Long like those Qanba guys= rage. Glad he came to his senses and went with what he knows and it paid off against Infiltration.

Daigo should quit fighting games and switch to Shmups. Then we'd see some real fun!!! Hehehe

Very nice ssfiv brackets. Is nice to see diferent chars as Gen, Ibuki and cute Makoto!!
I hope Akumas and Adons lose

Kof and SSF IV always have gr8 matches

P4A's finale and Japan/America 5v5 matches were crazy town.

Also, this was insane. UFGT9 P4A finals, something one of a kind happens to end it all. I dare not spoil it.

Really glad to see Xian take SF4. Great matches all around in the top 8, much better than last year's.

On my way back now

Yeah, this year was incredible. The rooms reaction when Infiltration picked Hakan was insane.

And Marvel was hype as all hell.

Even got some entertainment out of Injustice, with the whole crowd booing Superman xfd

[Frenetic]

Dang it was fun to watch Evo 2013. Great matches all around. Good commentary. Was fun hanging out in shmups #IRC talking about the matches hehe.

I just wished there was more of a Wasshoi+Tougeki thing going on, where shmups would be featured alongside fighting games.

In my wildest dreams, Daigo would switch to shmups. Instead of doing four blocked Fierce Uppercuts to Tokido to express himself during a game. Express yourself in shmups Daigo. (cue NWA song).

I lost it during the KoF finals. America winning KoF. Surreal.


I would've gone this year if not for BlazBlue's absence(and it even had a small presence as a side tourney). Definitely next year if Chrono Phantasma makes it.

Speaking of Blazblue, I got a shot of these two just outside the main hall:

Oh my goodness.

Also, I dunno wtf I just watched. Dese new FTG's too wacky for me.

Basically, Shadow Labrys did an Instant Kill, only possible in the final round(to win) with full meter.

Considered a huge risk, since it costs all the meter, and it's near impossible to land.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

Dat commentary. It's as terrible as commentary in Let's Plays where instead of taking the time to actually make a decent script and think what you're going to say, they just babble constantly without providing much in the way of real information. Yes, we get it, you love the sound of your own voice.

The commentary would probably be better if it were done by one actually good person in the style that professional radio commentators do sports games.

I like how after the match was over there was barely so much as a handshake. Guess fighting game players don't really get into the whole 'friendly competition' thing? :/

Depends. Sometimes there is(more often than not really), but bitter players gon' be bitter, and those two have some grudges going.

Ah, that puts a finer point on it. Brave stuff, I approve!

Hope folks there had a chance to try out undamned's awesome consolized CPS2 with USB controller ports.

[CMoon]

While we're begging, I couldn't watch on Sunday and would love to see a recap of the SF4 finals. Links?

Yay for watching ST! Probably saw Ganelon on there @ some point

Good seeing you there, as always! Now to become USA's Mao!
