I didn't know about that, work getting in the way? Scheduling issues?

Work/money. Fab was trying to go, but couldn't get the time off, dunno why GM can't go. This years Evo for Tekken will be WC+Korea and maybe a few Japanese. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole top 8 ends up being all Korean players.
 
SCV is actually going to have a side tourney streamed by Commando from IE Battlegrounds, so don't count it out yet. The game has seen a bit of a resurgence as of late.
 
I don't get why 3 games on finish on Friday and only 1 on Saturday.
Would've liked 2 and 2 far more.
Remember, Skullgirls has a Top 8 to air mainstage as well, likely on Saturday. MK and Tekken are both low-turnout games that take forever to run. Them getting relegated to Friday makes sense.
 
Wait, Tekken just beat out MK and its finals are before MK and P4:A? Shouldn't Tekken be at the end because of how much goddamn time it takes?

Skullgirls finals at 7AM sucks though.

Yeah, those are fine, I'm complaining more about Persona 4 Arena being sandwiched between those games, despite it having more entrants and taking far less time than them.
 
aw man sfxt finals against umvc3 quarters makes me sad, sfxt finals will be on stream and i hope to commentate it, but i was also really hoping to commentate some of marvel quarters or semis and even more than that hoping that people would see a much more interesting and fun sfxt2013 and look into playing it more. sad :(

Yeah, it's really bad timing for us SFxT players =(

I'm gonna try and get out of pools, I just gotta not flounder about and clean some house right away.

They needed like 6 hours of runoff time because Tekken matches take forever, obviously
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";66047846]P4A got bopped :-(

Why is there only one final on Saturday?

I bet if P4A had more top players like me and Q show up it'd at least get Saturday.[/QUOTE]

Probably would have still gotten bopped. Shit has high level international players coming
 
How much entrants does P4A has compared to the games you're talking about

I dunno.
Mr. Wizard just said that MK has the least and TTT2 is just above that.

Given the schedule though, I estimate it has a decent number more, given that it takes far less time to run.
But I dunno, it could just have less dedicated setups, relatively.
 
Injustice will be when I grab a quick dinner and then head back to the ballroom... I need to figure out a good plan to get good seats on Sunday for AE/Melee/Marvel.
 
Marvel needs more international competition for that, but it will never have it; outside of the US, nobody really cares for the game.
It will be a great lead-in to the AE finals, though!

International competition doesn't decide who is last, or else Soul Calibur 5 wouldn't have been the first game last year.

THe Skullgirls finals will be more attended than the finals of at least one official fans. SG fans are crazy in the VF way.

I think SC5 would have outdrawn MK or Tekken if it had been an EVO game.
 
AE had a lot of international competition using different characters that we rarely get to see played at the highest level. Marvel was just the same guys you see every week at WNF, Big Two, etc. If Kusoru came and was in top 8, it would have been a different story.
Didn't know people like Frutsy and Flocker were guys you see everyday at WNF and Big Two...

Also top 8 Marvel had an impressively diverse cast at EVO. 20 plus characters were used in that top 8.

However I still agree that AE should be last. More international presence, more entrants plus the game actually gets support from Capcom.
 
Tekken is too hard to play for it to be popular. Needs somewhat of an overhaul for it to become really popular again.

Cannot wait for the SG tournament at Evo. And I agree with the other EuroGAF member who is taking Monday off. :D
 
Last year we missed Daigo vs Latif because of PSA panel. Is there going to be a stream just for these matches once the main panel is use for stuff nobody wants to see (MK,Tekken, etc, etc) again?
 
You're being pretty obnoxious about a game everyone thought took a backseat to Marvel and KOF grand finals last year.
You don't choose the last game based on past performances, it's more about the number of players and their international representation. I don't see things changing on this front this year, but we'll see...
And I agree, last year's AE finals were quite disappointing, but we had some recent awesome top 8 and top 16 to give us hope on this front. ^^

That and Capcom is going to be showing things about AE 2013, so you can bet they'll want the prime time spot.
