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

Assuming my math wasn't off and I counted all the byes properly, we're looking at...

Mortal Kombat - 291
Soul Calibur V - 414
Street Fighter X Tekken - 448 (teams)
The King of Fighters XIII - 1,110
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 - 1,244
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Version 2012 - 1,517

Thanks for crunching the numbers. Didn't expect such high KOF numbers, good stuff. Disappointed that SCV never really gained much traction though. SFxT with higher numbers? Really...?

The majority of players that enter SSFIV will probably enter SFxT just because... assuming they can get a partner.
 
Jan's (from Houston; 2nd place finisher at the California Shadaloo Showdown Qualifier) pool has Shady K, Roach King, and Abegen.

Not only that, but I entered SFxTK before my interest completely died. AND my partner can't go now.

So I either find another buddy there to fight with and we lose horribly immediately or just no show it :(.

As for KoF...well, there was a "free" shirt :). Why not enter for it?
 
Yo, real talk, I entered KOF13 just because of the shirt. I was like fuck it, 10 extra bucks, who cares. More money for the pot (Bala) I guess, lol. I will be surprised if I show up for my pool.

Yeah, I can see people signing up before the whole thing came crashing down. Didn't people sleep through their SFxT pools at CEO? I found that hilarious.

If there are any stragglers in pools without partners, they should just pair them up randomly for funsies. :P

KoF shirt sounds sweeeeeeeet. Totally worth getting bodied.
 
Higher number for MK then I thought it would get.
Way less numbers for SC5 then I was expecting.

As someone who has just recently seen the light of KoF, glad how well its doing, very good game, deserves all its success.
 
A little part of me dared to hope Vryu's name would appear...EU sponsors need to step their game up. :( Him and Alioune showing up at Evo would be a madness.

Good luck to all the Brits & mainland EU dudes/ladies going though. Do us proud!

Hey, dude. If no one shows up and my times for KOF and UMVC3 leave me free from some tag action, I'm down for some SFxT. :D
 
I'm going and will be playing the VF tourney. My roommates Sherm and Rowell are playing MVC3, Row has Viscant in his pool, lol. He got into the top 32 last time, though.

Mindblown at how many KOF entrants their are. I figure myself decent at keeping my finger on the pulse of various fighting games but I would've guessed half as many entrants as that at best. What's the deal?
Yo, you guys should drop by the Dothan tournament on Saturday. I won't be able to make it myself but I'm trying to plug it to as many regional scenes as I can 'cause this is their first attempt at reaching out and getting solid events going on a regular basis. Search "Circle City Championships" on SRK / Facebook. Already gave FullSchedule and Shoultz a heads-up.

KOF entrants are high due to the free shirt. An ingenious "pot bonus" on Atlus' part, imo.
 
#IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR#

No, but really, it is. Adulthood be damned, EVO weekend is my favourite weekend, bar none. Guaranteed good times.
 
What the hell is so special about a shirt that so many people would enter just for it?
Dunno lol. I came really, really close to checking the box for KOF13 even though I've never played the game and don't even really like the shirt design!
 
Not entering EVO...

That's the problem right there... You wouldn't know why it's so awesome since you're not gonna get it!

Here's a list of all notable players registered for UMVC3.

I may have missed a few players due to not knowing them, missing them because I don't know their real name and they don't have their gamertag listed or even added players who aren't really that notable but I've added any names that I personally know. Let me know if I've missed anyone.
Pool I13:
Patrick Smith [Sixfortyfive] Seed #20
Mike Gonzales [Eraldo]

GAF pool? GAF pool.
 
I really wanted to come this year :(

I was trying to rent a room in Caesars palace but I'm not 21 yet so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to or not. Plus not having anyone to room with would be expensive AF.
 
Richard Nguyen and OmgitzAndre in the same pool.

Pool J6 with Abegen, Jan, ShadyK and RoachKing is the most stacked one by far.
