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 :D
 
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).
 
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?

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.

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.
 
Chat is PPV?

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.
 
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...

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..
 
Yeah I know :|

Any standouts out of those 100?

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


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.
