Players I can recognize. There are also a bunch of Japanese players whom I cannot recognize, quite sure there's a few important ones I left out.

finally a real reason for me to watch AE

 

[Ristlager]

I have not seriously played a fighting game since tekken 4, but why are SfxT such a let down? It seems like the perfect combo?

 

[Khezu]

Mortal Kombat second to AE? So, I'm guessing Street Fighter/Marvel players are grinding that too now. That's too much money to ignore.

No.

Money isn't a very good draw because realistically even if they started grinding when WB announced the prize, none of them would be able to reach top8, let alone win. Raw skill alone will only get you so far, you need loads and loads of matchup experience in this game.

Apparently the real key to drawing in as many people as possible is free T-shirts.

EVO will have three official streams, which can all be watched here: http://evo2012.s3.amazonaws.com/live/index.html

There will be HD streams but it will be PPV. Same content as the free streams, but in HD.

All of the money made with the PPV streams will go towards a $10,000 EVO college scholarship:

I'd be all in on that PPV stream but probably wont work on iPad (flash).

What killed it for Evo is the fact that it's doubles. Also the game itself was mismanaged. Gems defaulted online and DLC overall.

It's a game that tries to combine 5/6 different system mechanics and it just doesn't work, at least right now it feels that way. Personally it's just too slow for me but I don't hate it I just don't care to play it with games like SF4,MvC3,KoF out and games like Persona 4 Arena and Tekken Tag 2 coming out.

Big ups to the EVO crew.

Classy as fuck.

 

[Chavelo]

I just noticed that there is no scheduled view time on stream for the SFxT pools. :lol

 

[Seraphinianus]

Gootecks-style fuck yous to those gaffers who got on the FGC hate bandwagon earlier this year, cause Evo is gonna be the best ever this year.

 

[BY2K]

What's the price on the PPV option?

 

[BadWolf]

What's the price on the PPV option?

$12

 

[SephirothRK]

I wonder how much viewers going to pay $12 just so they can access the chat.

 

[heliconsoul]

720p ad-free monstering AND giving money to a good cause. I'm in there. Here's to staying up till 5-6am to watch this thing over here

 

[BadWolf]

There's also the after hours content, barely got any sleep last year.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Is it actually ad-free?

Yup, I'm in there too.

 

[APZonerunner]

You can still access the chat without paying, surely?

That said, I'll pay. I'm in 100%.

[StriKeVillain]

The chat is behind the pay wall? Not bad.

 

[Seraphinianus]

The chat is behind the pay wall? Not bad.

i'm gonna totally fuck up the chat, single-handedly if I have to

#esports hates it when you fuck up the chat

 

[Grecco]

Chat is behind the paywall? booo booo

 

["God's Beard!"]

If I win the scholarship I'll bet it all on a high-stakes Marvel 3 money match.

 

[Chavelo]

Chat is PPV?

Yo, this EVO is the fucking best!

 

[StriKeVillain]

Looks like one last EVO item has yet to be announced:

Whew what a week! One more ‪#evo2k‬ announcement, but you'll have to tune into tonight's Wakeup SRK to get it! http://twitch.tv/keits

I can get behind this... Good show, EVO. Good show.

Depending on the quality (lag) and how the replays work (since I won't be able to see a lot of stuff live before Sunday), I might get in on this.

at what time does wakeup srk start?

 

[StriKeVillain]

at what time does wakeup srk start?

USD's thread pegs it at 6:30 PT. He has it crossed off but I don't know if that's a copy-paste from last week or not.

 

[galvatron]

You have 3 characters. I don't see why tod combos are a problem to people still.

The real problem is that the suggested combos scaling to 0 rule = unbeatable timer scam tech. Just loop until the round ends if you're ahead.

 

[Anth0ny]

I'll pay the $8.95 for the RyuKappa

 

[Terareflection]

Yep.

Marvel 3/5 all the way through.

Actually, I suspect ECvWC

[BY2K]

Japan vs. the World?

No joke, reading that gave me a mental image ala the royal rumble from Anchorman. So hype.

 

[Ragingnight]

Archives are up in the air atm according to MrWizard on stream chat.

edit

Mrwizardsrk: archives might be for subscribers only!

edit 2
Not sure if this is the real inkblot

Inkblotsrk: archives will be available

Also they will add a feature to hide chat

 

[Ifrit]

Any good matches that I've missed from the past 6 months or so? Love me some good comebacks, combofiend?

That would be OMEGA tier hype.

Yo, this EVO is the fucking best!

You have to pay to be annoying(also racist, sexist, etc.)? This is the best EVO ever already.

Archives are up in the air atm according to MrWizard on stream chat.

I'm pretty worried about this, I have to work Friday and Sunday. I have only one personal day left and will use it to watch GF's instead on Sunday. But I'm pretty much just a SF4 head and SF4 will be played Friday. So I'm really hoping for archives or I will miss everything.

[WesternHeretic]

Last 6 months?

You missed about 20382308280 matches and at least 100 really good ones.

 

[jbug617]

anybody know if Japan is going to stream their EVO viewing party again? I had both streams open on finals day.

 

[Ifrit]

Last 6 months?

Yeah I know :|

Any standouts out of those 100?

Really haven't had time to catch up, last EVO had some fucking great matches

 

[Busaiku]

Wait, I've gotta subscribe for 480p+?
So that means that whoever doesn't subscribe will be a couple minutes behind at all times?

C'mon...

 

[Grecco]

Thats already up.

Only $12 eh? Cool, I'll definitely pay that price for a high quality stream! Although I find it weird you have to pay to chat..

The past 3 that just happened- UFGT8, ECT, and CEO were all awesome and each one is better than the last. You can check their threads for the hype matches or just ask in the weekly thread.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Thats already up.

?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Looking forward to playing TTT2 and PS all stars at EVO.

Pretty much check out Sp00ky's and Level Up's youtube channel for the last few majors.
