What? US did well in the games we expected to do well, and didn't in the games we normally don't do well in. AE was rough but still had two in top 8 and a decent amount in top 32.

Probably
Replace DOA with VF5. Skullgirls is gonna get the cold shoulder. I just know it. ;_;
WTF
Are people actually arguing that SFIV might not be on the main lineup? That's freaking nuts. Mahvel really should be the main game by now though.

I dont consider AE being the main game this year with the time top 8 started in the east coast.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Maybe for next year they cut back on the number of main games. And maybe show top 4 or so of a few of the side games.
I think he's referring to this:
1. WW.MCZ|Infiltration (Akuma)
2. AVerMedia|Gamerbee (Adon)
3. CVPR|PR Balrog (Balrog)
4. eLivePro.Qanba|XiaoHai (Cammy)

That's just spin though. US made a good showing. Not having Uryo, Sako, Mago, or Momochi up there at least in top 16 is really impressive.
I'm excited for KOF next year. I wonder if more players will pick it up and those that already have will take it more seriously.
I'd also like to see P4A as a main event. I think EVO needs some new and different blood in it. Marvel and AE are great, but AE seems to have peaked recently and I think we're going to see its descent. It's not going anywhere soon, it's just on its way out. People have been finding new and interesting things with Marvel but I think it'll probably reach its peak in a few years.

There's only one fighting game better than GG and it sure as hell ain't P4A.
I can't see it being allowed on the main stage. Way, way too much of a niche anime game.
How? More people play SF4 than marvel. It literally doesn't make any sense for Marvel to be the main game over AE.
Do tell.

Ew, no Injustice would be best.
I haven't liked what I've seen thus far at all.
I think that's partially why AE's top 8 has rubbed people wrong this year. I'm on the East Coast and it didn't even start until 1:30 AM. Now, I'm not against staying up late, but if that's the case then at least give me something good. What we got, though...nah I'm good.

the raging demons were awesome, but he plays pretty conservatively otherwise, watching someone like tokido is much more interesting imo.

WB will sponsor either Injustice or MK9 to ensure one of them features, for sure.
Lol he's tired man. He don't want to be there no more. Jet lag + severe slow downloading.
3rd Strike, of course.

It's crazy that SFxT is SO BAD that it actually drained all the hype out of AE. All the guys Capcom hoped would make the jump to SFxT ended up going back to AE, but you could just tell people were bummed about having to be forced into that. No real new tech, top players giving up for the rest of the set after getting steamrolled in the first match, kinda sad to see.
Like I said before, once it got past pools everyone, even the people playing, seemed disinterested in not really wanting to be there, particularly after Daigo and Poongko got steamrolled.

Just pop in to freestepdodge and look at the e3 thread. There is heavy debate from within their own community and very known names in the community are saying this game is utter trash competitively at the moment.
here are some quotes

I know skilletor is a gaffer, so maybe he can shed some light in terms of competitive doa5. Maybe I got the whole thing wrong (hopefully)

I see there are some on the thread missed the ST stream based on the rankings. Any one gets a chance, watch it. I ranked it in the top 2 with KOF.
the best was when they got the trophies for winning. all of them looked embarrassed and didn't give a shit.
No one aims for Top 32.
Why shouldn't we do well in other games? Why shouldn't we take KOF? Why shouldn't we compete in VF? Yeah, we got Marvel, but even that is slowly gaining ground in other places. If the Koreans looked to it like they did KO, who knows what would happen.
Why aren't we pushing for better? Are we sending people to Tougeki for shits and giggles or to win?
This right here is some bullshit. I can say with respect to SSF4 we're pretty much on Japanese level. We didn't lose shit for free. Marvel, we got that locked.

Yeah, I bet on this much.
Though if Injustice doesn't deliver on "hype"/views, how likely is it that WB would dish out even more money to try again with it?

Pretty much this. The best SF4 players are generally all on the same level. Tournaments do not determine who is the better player. Eita, one of the best akuma in the world didn't get top 32, a player that won Shadowloo showdown and was favorite for top 8.
Injustice reminds me so much of X-Men: Next Dimension. I think it's all the stage transitions .

I'm just saying that historically we haven't been a major force in KOF, perhaps from lack of interest.
As far as 3D, that has been Korean dominated for many years. This includes Tekken, VF, and SC. I would say that is also lack of interest when it comes to VF and just not having access to the game in a decent time period with Tekken.
Hype will be manufactured through pot bonuses, same way it worked with MK. WB/Netherrealm has already said they are looking to make Injustice big in the tournament scene. Plus the MK community has been doing a great job keeping their scene strong and seem interested in Injustice.
Actually I got the sense that the current form is fine, but DoaMaster wants some unpopular changes implemented and the others are concerned that TN might take his advice given his performance at E3 and past performances in DoA4.
No, the rest of the world has just caught up with Japan.

Iono, from what I read it heard the current form while it is an improvement is nowhere close to being competitive.
Also big fears about Hayashi. They think if Hayshi wants something changed he will do it and circumvent the director of DOA5.
Watching that first Sako vs. Mar match, do perfects even happen in Vampire Saviour? Sako dominated without getting one but it really made me realize that I've never seen someone perfected in that game before. :lol
Seriously. I am very fond of Revenger's Roost from the Vampire side of things, even though that one's from the PSP re-release IIRC.

Because VF was never popular in the US and KoF didn't start getting played till less than a year ago?
It's like asking why China doesn't dominate in Marvel

Pretty much this. Also I wouldn't be shocked to see EVO go back down to five games.
America did do well in nearly every game at Evo. The game we did worst in was VF5 which is barely even played here. In the past year Americans have competed with and beat some of the best players in KoF and SFAE.
Korea is just hot right now, but they aren't on some unbeatable level and the US will catch up with them soon in AE.
and by Korea you mean Infiltration.
This is pretty much how I see it too.
You spelled Super Turbo wrong.
Me and my friend were talking about this. It seems that reckless "just do it" style that Poongko used to perfect Daigo made Daigo want to play that way.
I meant KoF as well, but as far as AE goes Infil did have the best performance this weekend. The only other Korean in top 8 was Poongko right?
Yeah. The only other notable Korean AE players are Laugh and Cafeid M Lizard who I don't think attended. In Kof although Korea took the tourney the top 8 was spread out between Koreans Mexicans and Americans.
