honestly, if I made it to the top or became FGC-famous I'd prolly dick around and troll a bit because it would be fun

I blew up some girl at a tourney once and popped off, it was a blast to rile up the crowd imo

Haha for sure. I don't mind the pop offs at all. It's great entertainment!

Even Yu and Chie against her? I feel like she has to take some risks against them on wakeup at least.
Yu has it harder in neutral but I don't think it's that bad, but he just needs it once for that knockdown (5:5 imo). Chie can just whiff punish easier in neutral and zone in and out of her range, I feel like.

I just feel like at this point, she's just top 3 with Yu and Chie the best right now. Seems to be the common opinion even in Japan, iirc.

Edit: As for Teddie vs Mitsuru, people like LK and tloc feel that she beats him. I'm not going to agree or disagree on that since I haven't explored that matchup personally enough yet.

Vega just sounds like a straight up counter pick instead of a character who was actually top tier (unless I am mistaken amd he really was top tier).

He has had good match-ups against some of the top tiers in most versions.
Aside from Akuma winning it, he was probably the only even Match-up for Fei in Vanilla AE for example(even the twins were no considered a completely even match-up)

For the people heading to Evo this weekend, I wrote a mini-guide on Killer Instinct (based on the E3 build) as a quick introduction so people aren't going in completely blind. Here are the links for anyone interested.

There should be interesting pre-EVO stuff happening every night now. Tonight's Wednesday Night Fights should be stacked with everyone who's not already in Vegas.

Any confirmed international guest? I know a couple of Chinese were there last week, including Dark Jiewa who is apart of Team China in the International 3v3.

I know characters have unique auto-doubles/manuals, Sabrewulf=Mash the same button & Jago=Around the world (Don't know what direction or starting strength?)

Can you clarify the manuals?

Under Sabrewulf:
Light > Medium > Heavy
Medium > Heavy

Does this mean you can manual, Light to Medium to Heavy (as a 3hit I assume) or Medium to Heavy (as a 2hit)?

Also, how would you break that?

How come nobody is talking about or mentioning the Video Game Wrestling thing that was supposed to happen? Was that cancelled or not happening in the first place?

Everytime someone asks in this thread, including myself, there's no word about it. Don't even think SRK has put something up as about it.

I didn't even think it was happening in the first place because Bazza said he didn't want to travel that far (he lives in the UK).

I saw Xian and Humanbomb were looking for a ride to WNF.

There's no Runback tomorrow so they're also doing Marvel tonight.
Click to expand...

Oh boy, we could have 100+ for both games tonight with many out of towners and a number of internationals. I guess plenty of monsters won't be happy with the lack of coverage for their game. I'm a SF4 only guy myself so I'm not too thrilled to see Marvel is on tonight considering how much priority it normally gets.

Thank god this isn't happening. If it is then I hope WWE calls and tells Evo it can't be streamed.

The only way I can see Xian winning is if he is able to avoid playing Infiltration and a lot of the Japanese players. Fuudo, Daigo, Sako etc. will all be a problem for him.

Xian can definitely hang with those guys for sure. He did really well against Daigo when he last went to Japan.

Not sure, I'm really just making an assumption. If enough people have already gone to EVO it could be really dead! But it seems likely to me there should be some big names there.

EVO founder Tom Cannon says this should be between 4,000 and 5,000 individual players [Ed. Note: this figure is actually 3,538 exactly, still a record-breaking figure]. Not only does this surpass last year's EVO, it also makes it the most competitors at a single event in competitive gaming and eSports history. Competitors will play over 30,000 matches over the three days.

Imagine showing these numbers to EVO attendees just 5 years ago. It would probably blow their minds

Heads up to Vampire Savior fans:

The Vampire Savior side tournament at EVO2013 is going to be streamed by Coopa from http://www.twitch.tv/finestko

The tournament starts at 5pm this Saturday. I am thinking Sako, and Haitani should join again, and Nekohashi and Papatiwawa (Japanese Talbain) should be entering as well. I am expecting some very good competition, so please tune in!

Please re-tweet to help spread the word:

Impressive growth even with the tricky wording (using "entries" instead of players and "single event" to circumvent stuff like Dreamhack).

Really looking forward to the weekend!

First time I saw EG pull off a 1080p stream the stream IQ was better than my in-game graphics, no lie. :lol
