Not really, no
Hell no, Marvel was way crazier. KOF was good but not as good as marvel.

what an amazing tournament.
Wiser Words Have Never Been Spoken
No, because Justin came back with Akuma to reset the bracket.
But I'm biased, because I prefer Marvel to KOF free.

Nah, it was marvel for me. KOF was a close second though.
The finale itself wasn't very close. I enjoyed the top 8 play more. Which was probably the best top 8 play ever seen in SFIV.

What a ride this EVO was. Glad to see so many new champs being crowned across the games.

KoF had a last minute reset and the guy from loser's actually won, and it resulted in a stick toss.
Hard to top that.
It was a toss-up between SFIV and KOFXIII for me.
The most enjoyable set of matches for me, though, was the after-hours/money-match of USA VS Japan.
Perfection.

Marvel, closely followed by KOF
I thought it was an Idolm@ster miki dakimakura...curses
If we're just comparing the grand finals, then I think Marvel is the winner due to Justin's numerous clutch moments.

I'd say Marvel was first, but KOF was still hype as hell. Second place KOF for me.

Although I only watched Marvel, SF4, and KOF. Out of those 3, I say yes. That was really amazing to watch.
hey where can i watch the p4a after hours stuff
eh he shouldn't have added the "especially #P4U" part.
the figure and pillow weren't even persona themed
Smash Bros could easily become the most popular given it's mass market appeal (an 11 years old game scoring 134K is insane no matter how you look at it). If the new game is competitive to an acceptable level, it should leave the Capcom games in the dust.
I would agree, but Marvel was damn close. I think I'd say Marvel was better if Wong had pulled it off.

Wow..really great EVO. Heard that KOF at EVO this year was good. I gotta watch that later.
I only tuned into Top 8 finals of SSF4 AE. Infiltration vs PR Balrog was some GREAT stuff. Xian finally taking it!
Congrats to Xian! Putting Singapore on the map! WOOT!

Nope UMVC3 GF was better barely to me at least
I started watching because of Melee originally, but ended up watching other games as well. Awesome tournament, loved what I saw.
I've hardly ever played any fighting games besides Smash. They look intimidating, but super fun at the same time. Maybe now would be a good time to try to get into fighting games!

Some high end Marvel and SF money matches would be great. Too bad we won't see any.

Yeah that is for certain last match was not great but top 8 was the best we ever had .
So many characters and players from all over .

IMO, I think SF was the better GF. I mean, UMVC3 is my game and all and my peoples lost (Christ Geezus and Fchamp) so I wasn't emotionally invested in that GF. However, Jwong was just...amazing to say the least and to get that far on just skill alone is pretty freaking amazing.
Xian on the other hand. He was always my favorite to win evo. After he beat diago in that f10 it was all high hopes from there on out. He's the best.

I'm so happy for Xian and it's well deserved, but man did I want to see Justin take it with Wolvie/Storm/Akuma. Flocker is a machine though, people worried too much about ChrisG all year and not enough about Flocker.
This
KOF finals was a reset bracket with plenty of clutch moments. If we're just comparing.
Nah, it was definitely Marvel, and I'm a SF fan. SF Top 8 was amazing.

KOF got the biggest reaction out of me.
I think a lot of it was due to Reynald though.

The Marvel Top 8 was some of the most hype matches I've ever seen. God, I love Marvel vs Capcom.

In terms of hype for today I would say
-Marvel
-KoF
-SF4 AE
-SSBM
-Injustice
-KI ResidentSleeper

Marvel was the best. I would've been through the roof if Justin won, but I got nothing against Flocker. The hype had me rooting for Justin.
Imagine if Chris G won against Justin? Then it would've been a SOUL SOUL SOUL SOUL train through the loser's brackets, opponents flailing around in the air trying to wait out the hyper but she gains enough meter for chip to immediately activate another anyways. It would've been so boring. Instead, it was incredibly intense and exciting back and forths, amazing mixups and reads and moments. That's why we love Marvel.

true
Either that or Marvel.
Nope Marvel and Street Fighter easily beat it out but it was a good GF.
The great part about Evo is that everyone can see the best each community has to offer, get hype, and earn respect. Melee did that today as KOF has for the past two Evos.
