EVO points feel so fraudulent, but so goooooood.

This previous weekend encompassed a trip through 3 different cities and 2 tournaments with 13+ hours of driving and a 4-hour nap at a rest area this morning. So worth it. Hype levels critical!

PS: RoachKing says his pool is free. :O lol

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Marlinpie in the same pool as Felax? Come on.

evo sucks at seeding by region.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

God damn, if they think they can run a KoF bracket that huge in the time frame then they've got no excuse what so ever not to make Marvel 3 out of 5.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Ryan Hunter's name isn't Ryan Hunter? Mind blown.

 

[Chavelo]

Are you going to steal a large one fo me homey? :O

I have no idea what you are talking about, sir.

 

[GotchaForce]

Yeah, he's in the same pool as combofiend.

Do you know which pool number? Want to catch him in action.

 

[Professor Beef]

God damn, if they think they can run a KoF bracket that huge in the time frame then they've got no excuse what so ever not to make Marvel 3 out of 5.

They're probably running under the (correct) assumption that at least 1/3 of those registered either won't show or will be bodied in record time.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Jan and Stone have good seeds. Jan should have placed much higher at CEO, though. He basically gave that game away to Quandizzle. I will run them through the meat grinder before they leave.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

IIRC, everything after the initial round of pools in Marvel is 3/5. Top 128 or thereabout.

 

[TGMIII]

Pool K10.

I put a list together of all notable players and their groups.

Ahh, I missed the update. Should be good then, though a few draws like Combofiend vs Zak are going to be brutal in 2 out of 3.

 

[WesternHeretic]

PS: RoachKing says his pool is free. :O lol

Free mind fuck.. Roach King might very well be the 4th best player in his pool.

HAHHAHAHHA that some old school MVC2 black bracket of death.

SF4, Marvel, and KOF all over 1k is really good to see.

MK9 having the 2nd highest prize pool with lowest entrants just equal total lulz.

 

[jbug617]

UltraDavid's show tonight is about the matchups to look forward to at EVO.

 

[Grecco]

Xian ranked 7th?

Link and what time?

You get 50 points for winning a EVO event, and I think he won the EVO Singapore event.

YYYOOOO ULLLLLL!!!!!!

 

[Parallax Scroll]

20) SixFortyFive
27) MarlinPie

SixFortyFive better than MarlinPie confirmed.

 

[Hazaro]

How did you get so many EVO points, or do you just have like 10 and everyone else has <10?

 

[BiggNife]

KoF being the 3rd game with the most entries makes me happy.

Hate to break it to you, but the reason the number of entrants is so high is because of the free t-shirt.

Expect at least quarter of those people to drop out.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Whoever did that list of UMVC3 players forgot that X-Ray (last year top 8 at EVO) is also in F.Champ's and Dios X pools K12.

 

[Toski]

Does anyone know when the brackets will be up again? I'm trying to find myself, but apparently they seem to have taken the names down.

Oh shit another stacked pool.

They are up on Guidebook if you have a smart phone.

It's under the "tournament section" and not "pool assignment."

I mentioned as much in the Marvel OT. X-Ray is one of my favorites in this game, so no doubt he'd get shout outs from me.

 

[jbug617]

Slasher is reporting that Latif does have EVO points but registered with another email. Latif is most likely moved to another pool and not play Daigo.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Yep. 1st=50, 2nd=25, 3rd=10, 4th and below = 1.

If I would have beaten Eddie (Toomuchdamage) in losers finals at MWC (we go back and forth a lot, I put him in losers), I would have possibly had his 8th place seed instead.

This is what happens when the players with letters in front of their names don't feel like showing up to the last chance at EVO points, heh.

Keep letting me know if I've missed anyone.

 

[GotchaForce]

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.

Yeah, I've been trying to get people to go since I drive up there myself on occasion but most people work later in the day on Saturday. Still know a few more people I'm gonna try.

PZ Poy (Zero/Doom/PHX) on pool H5 with Royal Flush.

Magus1234 isn't a top player but I guess he's notable for commentary in pool H7.

Tinh Ngo aka Mine (Top 8 last year EVO) pool H8. And probably the favorite to come out of that pool.

 

[CookedChocobo]

lol, is that guy delusional? Props for him for sticking with Viscant's team tho.

No Mihe sightings?

 

[El Sloth]

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.

Good stuff. Thanks!

Last I heard he was grinding his face off in Tera.

HYPE HYPE HYPE! Gonna stream monster so hard that weekend...

 

[I-hate-u]

I wonder how many viewers at once and total views for the stream will be. Last year I remember we peaked @ 50k at once and total views where 110k

Someone set up GAF as an fg sponsor. Equipment by MarkMan. I'll donate travel money ~

Rayzyrbyrn (WNF / TRB local) is much more of a threat in pool I4 than Red Rapper.

I also found some mods on SRK but I guess they are not really notables...

Falcomist for I7 (Norcal Jill player. Yes JILL!)

Ytwojay in pool I14 (imo probably the favorite to make it out).

Public service announcement:

With the discovery of the Trish TAC infinite, it seems that a new exploit is figured out within the TAC mechanic that is allowing players to basically ignore the HSD and perform infinites. This is NOT Trish exclusive anymore, the Japanese are going in HARD with this technology and they have discovered a Magneto infinite after a TAC.

I just saw the video... and holy fucking crap my body was not ready for this.

For those who want to applaud Capcom for supporting this even with money, well pretty much only SF4 got real money. 9k for SFxT is basically entrance fees. I'm sure the EVO staff threw in $40 just to make it a even 9k. I think UMVC3 being 15k had more to do with the EVO staff throwing in the extra dough and not Capcom, just my guess though. Only SF4 got a pot bonus of nearly 10k to bump it up to 25k total.

Maybe most of you guys won't agree with me but I wish they had bumped the entry fee up to $20. This is suppose to be the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. Where the best from all over the world come to compete. It's the one tournament that people who never travel to majors would plan a vacation around. I've always thought of EVO like the World Series of Poker or the Super Bowl. $10 should be the standard at your local major, but I think for a event like EVO, it should be a little higher. It would have been nice to say 25k+ for UMVC3 or 40k+ for SF4.

 

[black_vegeta]

SFxT should have been $1.00

 

[El Sloth]

You still going, BV?

This tech is still basically unknown as we don't really know exactly what is going that is causing the exploit. Stay tuned for more updates!

I used to feel this way but I'm not so sure anymore. I think it's more about just having the most participants possible than the money.
