gonna hope P4A will appear

In favor of setting Muslim women on fire
unfortunately i dont think VF5 will find that wide enough audience
Some guys from the MK community said they loved the game, but at the same time, Mike Ross and Gootecks said it was horrible. We need to see the complete package to give the final word, I have faith in them because they really care about the community and are always asking for feedback. They just need to put an option that disables the stage gimmicks, that awful ''meter betting'' clashing mode and the stage transitions so it will be viable for tournaments.

best sunday commentating for me goes to aris+markman. scv top8 was slept on in general, probably because of the time slot and because its scv. i have a lot of sf bias, so it takes a lot for me to admit that scv top8 was probably (almost, maybe) better than top8 ae. although ae pools/quarters/semis was top notch.

We have a much higher chance of seeing P4A than DOA. I would be very surprised if P4A didn't have a huge following by next EVO.
I know and that's sad. But who knows, maybe the new DOA will turn out decent. At least it has VF characters...

Replace Injustice with P4A and that would be perfect.
I pretty much agree with everything you said here. KOF3 was a total surprise and that UMvC3 finals was insane. We're probably going to see SFxT next year, but I'm hoping they don't do it as a team based affair.
From my perspective of being a manger in a customer service industry, I believe they could have helped improved the scheduling by doing the following.
-The intros of TTF2, and other commercial openings should have been put AT the beginning of the day.
-Double back on the franchises that's on-going and set up the next tournament, which will decrease the amount of time spent prepping after the last tourney mash up.
-Take aim and goal for a set of time frame when the finals going to take place. I felt the coordinators was just letting things turn out along the flow, which, their not doing a very good job being a "coordinator"
Suggestions,
-Learn from this years EVO and try and expand the amount of days the actual damn event is taking. Each year, the population of this event expand exponentially, meaning:
-> More people -> More participants -> Need more time to register and be put into pools.
Which brings up to the next golden solution,
Make evo 4 days than 3.
(But of course, that will indeed justify additional costs on the behalf of sponsors, which if I was that company[ies], I want to conserve and get the cheapest invoice I can possibly get. ( that's the sad truth, it's still all about politics and shit with these people).
Lastly,
- Time the pools a lot more earlier. Seriously.

For Injustice, I'd love to see Netherrealm include tournament dipswitches. Giving the community the option to choose what they'd like in the game. I'd prefer players keep all the game mechanics, but have the option to reduce super cinematics and in-match cinematics.
Atlus is definitely gonna push it harder than they did The King of Fighters XIII.
Free shirts AND free glasses for everyone.
Yes this. The current persona 4 glasses replicas are quite expensive though if they give them out at an event like evo I'm making the trip

if a shitty Persona fighting game takes the spo of KOF i'll be pissed.
Next level is Chie track jackets. I would leave team NAH for that.
Blazblue attendance fell off a cliff after Evo last year.
shitty? I doubt it'll push KOF after that mega hyped finals. I won't mind P4A taking over SFxT.
There's no way any game is replacing KOF next year.
Even when Atlus isn't giving away free shirts to everyone, it's always the 3rd/4th biggest game at every major.
I doubt they'll give it this level of support next year though, so there'll definitely be a lot less entrants.

You can't say they aren't NRS players when there's only one NRS (Current incarnation, named such, under WB, etc.) game.
Most MK sites including the tournament focused testyourmight.com are covering it, and if it comes down to Injustice or no NRS game, I imagine they'll support the company.
I really don't think the popularity of KOF is riding on free shirts.
Not actual popularity, especially after those finals, but entrants were inflated by the shirt, for sure.
I'd like to see, when looking back at EVO12 an entrant number for KoF that takes into account the byes (if not 2-0s?).

You don't know what you're talking about. KOF should stay, but P4A, as far as my JP friends have been telling me, is anything but shitty.

It's niche, but I don't see how it's more niche than BB. The Persona brand alone does a lot for it, and the game itself is supposed to be super legit.

Doing Top 8 double elimination for 4 games back to back was an awful idea.

Best duo goes to Aris & Markman but Shidosha was absolutely the single best commentator all weekend, especially once LA_Akira got on the mic.

Yea the shirts are just a really sweet bonus, most of the players love the game.
I love KOF and I was happy to see it be successful, but even I will admit that there was a large amount of players that only registered just for the shirt. FR getting 400 entrants for Marvel and 160 entrants for KOF while Evo got equal entrants for KOF and Marvel (if I remember correctly) can't be attributed to "people just loving the game" in my opinion.

Oh yeah, another thing.
I think the I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden pre-show exhibition was such a great way to kick things off. Freaking amazing spectacle, really.
Does anyone know if IWBTG:G was just a short snippet of a longer game? With all of the Evo branding in it and what seemed like custom remote commands, it looks like it was tailored specifically as a showcase event and nothing more.
In any case, I want more of that.

I think they want every game to get its shine on the main stage (in our case, the main stream). So I don't think that Sunday schedule will ever change, unless they decide to do some top 8s on Saturday.

It said "end of act 1" at the end, so I think so.

My roommate and I are going to try and do the same.
I really don't think the popularity of KOF is riding on free shirts.
It still would've been the 3rd or 4th biggest game (behind Street Fighter X Tekken), no doubt, but there is no way it would've gotten over 1000 people without the free shirts.
I think 500-600 probably would be a good estimate of how many people cared about the game regardless.
Same, will be attending next year for TTT2.

I agree, they're really going to have to put some thought into how they run the schedule next year.

Cool.
I wasn't able to stay up for the whole thing, and I wasn't able to snag all the videos. Only got about 2 hours of it. Really want to see the rest.

I have no doubt that the number of entrants for KoF13 were inflated due to the free shirts but dont count out the number of international players that entered because they love KoF13.

You're missing the point. The Europeans you're speaking about are offending a specific group of players doing something racially offensive about said players' ethnicity. Mexicans are simply chanting a generic expletive that's hurled at anyone from any opposing team. There's no ulterior intention to personally offend a group. They don't go "an Asian player is on the stage, we'll chant something that specifically offends Asians".
I think a lot of the misunderstanding is coming from people who aren't aware of the expletives, look up their dictionary definitions, and assume the chanters are taking the definition literally. They're not.
Watching AE right now, jeez Poongko played really bad
And he looks like a totally different person, last year he was hella energetic and hyped, this year even on Friday he looked like a zombie, mhe
he was free except for one round
Evo isn't Tougeki though. Evo is very much centered around the American fighting game scene and their tastes. VF and KOF have never been super popular series in the US and only recently have their publishers tried to get people interested. I feel like it worked for KoF but VF is still as unpopular as it has always been with a very small player pool.
The "better" game is entirely subjective anyway and VF has never been a big hit in America and wouldn't get the amount of interest, participants of level of competition as Tekken would.
