EVO 2012-Record Attendance as Competitors Duel for $100k (Spread Across 7 Games)

LMAO FChamp just exposed Vergil on stream.

The animation of his teleport L and teleport M can be scouted to tell if he is crossing up or not. My mind is BLOWN!!!

He is right though, eventually people get to the point where they can block Vergil and beat him but at EVO he is a huge threat still. I still think that visual cue is hard to scout out in a match and you need months of your eyes being trained to it so you can block it properly. I don't think many players are tuned to it yet.

FChamp also exposed Zero with the help of Yipes... MY GOD!!!!
 
Oh maaaan, Dios X and Filipino Champ are in the same pool in Marvel.

And X-Ray. Dude's a low visibility monster.

My pool.
:(

I can't go. :(
My workplace didn't sort out my visa early enough for me to apply for a visit visa. :(

Fuck.

And is that Cho in my pool the Vergil player (Chou?). In that case I don't feel so bad.

Damn, and right after I was just showing support in the main Marvel thread. :(

Link?
 
Please tell us more.
FChamp said that one of Zero's most terrifying tool which is Lightning -> Buster -> Lightning, after the Buster if you block it Zero is exposed and you can attack him out of the lightning but people at this point are too scared to press buttons against that.

FChamp's new name needs to be Filipino "I know Phoenix likes it doggie cuz she's my bitch" Champ. LMAO!

Thanks for the link, but I gotta say, this after the SaltCam Unknown vs. himself and the "you can't even protect my bitch, go ahead save her!" stuff from CEO he might legitimately be my favorite shit talker in the FGC. :lol
 
I am. :D

I actually got a pretty easy Marvel pool (I think). If I don't get out of pools... >:(
I would just hope for anything that isn't 0-2.

Not going again this year. I could've gotten the flight cheap, but I couldn't afford a room. Oh well. Maybe next year. I wouldn't have competed this year anyways.
 
I don't even play Mahvel, and it's the game I will be the most hyped for to watch on the stream. Not rooting for anyone in specific, but will be there for the salt :D

Oh, that old thing?

That's old news man, and a lot of smart Zero players stopped doing that a while ago.

Man wut? I found a room across the street from the venue for $45/night. Step your game up, people!
 
I tested the vergil teleport thing just now; when he does l teleport the flash dissolves horizontally and for the m it dissolves vertically.
 
I am. :D

Biz, SixtyFortyFive, A Pretty Panda are good to go, too.

Good luck to you, sir.

It's always interesting to see so many people talk about these games, but they don't ever go to anything. I know circumstances are what they are for most folks, so not a knock at them, I just find it interesting.

Evo should be good this year though. Hopefully I don't fall drunk into Ceaser's pool again this year.

Yeah that's kinda old I believe a lot of Zero players wised up to it.

Nah I'm not going, I'd just win and stuff. Gotta give the new talent a chance to shine you know?

Did someone register with my name or something?
 
I'm reading that passes are non transferable and that spectator and competitor passes are both gone?

Tournament only just guarantees seating in the overflow area and you get no badge for $70?

Guess I'll stream monster.

The Evo Expo floor and BYOC are open to the public on Friday and Saturday. If you’re only attending on Friday and Saturday, Evo is free to attend.
That's not so bad.
Are any of you guys actually going?
If I get any info on how to go, MAYBE.
 
Yeah that's kinda old I believe a lot of Zero players wised up to it.
I sort of knew about that and I know that his last Lightning Attack is also punishable depending upon where he does it and how high he does it. It's just no top player has been punishing it as of late.

Yeah I noticed that too. Hopefully at evo everyone can exposed those fraudulent block strings.
 
I'm going as a spectator, although I expect I'll be putting in some time for the SG side tourney. First Evo, first time in Vegas... looking forward to it!
 
I think Sixfortyfive has a good idea about researching players in your pool. Might be able to find some YT footage.

Very good idea. People should listen to what you and Sixfortyfive are saying. There's so much info out there now about players, it should be used.

Anyway, good luck to those who are going. Evo is a really cool experience and if you get a chance to go, go. Despite what you might see on the internet, the fighting game community is one of the best communities I've ever been apart of. It gets a bad rep.

I wish I was going this year. Last year was a blast...but I couldn't get time off this time. :(

Plus I'd want to go apologize to the Skullgirls team for talking so much shit last year
by whupping their asses in their own game
:o

Damn, KOF bubblin up
 
I've been looking at the brackets in which the guys from my city will be playing, and so far, it looks like most have a chance to get out of their pool. One of them is totally screwed in Marvel though not gonna lie >.>

It'd be nice if we could compile a list of which GAFer is in which bracket, I want to see if there'll ever be a moment when I'll have to decide between cheering for GAF or cheering for my people >.>

KoF being the 3rd game with the most entries makes me happy.

"Interesting" is a charitable word.

I'm pretty mad that ATL FRB has basically just been canceled due to lack of attendance. Masta CJ makes an 8 hour trip and you're telling me not even a dozen GA folk will show up for the chance to be the American Kusoru in *any* game of their choosing? Fucking lame, man.
