Evo Japan is the Vitality Sensor of the FGC.

Get the hell out of my brain.

My God, every game ever is going to be at EVO this year.

When's TMNT Tournament Fighters?

Sounds about right.

Damn Gootecks has been thinking about this

 

[SolarPowered]

Yeah I don't remember the numbers...but I remember plenty of "LOL Marvel can't even beat KOF LOL" type comments. I thought the peak was right at the end of KOF...when marvel was scheduled to start.

nope.jpg

It beat SFIV and most other games easily, but Mahvel was top draw by far.

Checked my post history...

Okay then...

UMvC3: 98k
KOF XIII: 92k
Mortal Kombat: 66k
SFxT: Sub 50k?
SCV:50k

The highest counts on the viewers as far as I know. It was a pretty fucken' successful EVO from that standpoint. KOF has literally experienced the Cinderella story. It's some fucking Disney shit, kids.

I was thrown off by the reception to SFxT. Mahvel and KOF ate up all the hype.

 

[TouchMyBox]

OT kinda, but EVO and Skullgirls and MK on PC have got me interested.

What is the go-to entry-mid level fight stick for PC?

Th ST tournament of legends was my favourite part of EVO last year. Was hoping for more old school love this year.

He's 100% correct. Anyone who's worked in events understands.

Strangely detailed stream numbers:

18:13 [Grand Final 2] Mad Kof 3-1 Bala *peak 90500 viewers, average 83000

21:42 [Grand Final 2] F.Champ 3-2 Infrit *98100 viewers *Infrit missed a big opportunity when he couldn't close the 2nd game.

23:33 [Grand Final] GamerBee (Ado) 0-3 Infiltration (Aku) *77700 viewers
0-2
1-2
0-2

It did take a while for marvel to take over kof's numbers, so that is where my confusion would have come from.

Gamerbee is seriously the most "underrated" player ever.

He was 2nd last year.
He won SEAM.

He's just not at as many events.

Marvel should be the main game based on those numbers. #MakeMarvelLast.

Are those times Pacific timezone? SF4 suffered greatly by the delay. The numbers at EVO 2012 was better when it peaked at 85k with Marvel 2nd at 70-something.

Marvel is the real main game i think, but it's better to put SF4 last, it appeals a lot to casuals / video game journalists.

Speechless. Was this on IRC?

Mr.Wizard just said Nintendo originally wanted to shut down the whole Smash event, not just the stream.

 

[Karsticles]

As an international event, I think the game with the biggest international draw should be the main event. Numbers aren't the only thing that matters. I am fine with Street Fighter winning that fight.

 

[Rice-Eater]

SF4 makes more sense as it's the bigger game and has more worldwide appeal. And I'm pretty sure Marvel would have suffered the same fate as SF4 at last years EVO if it was last and started as late as SF4 did.

Not sure how American timezones work...but yeah it was very late.

Even for me, where the whole thing takes place on a Monday during the day, it was a super long day. I was pretty over it by the time AE finally rolled around.

Creepily accurate numbers.

Capcom probably prefers SFIV as the last game.

I'm hoping this is just a troll.

He said it on LO3.

 

[Kikujiro]

Last or not it doesn't matter if the stream runs late and AE begins at 10 pm. Casual viewers won't stick so long.

[Ultimadrago]

So can I purchase the $12 pass yet, or does that only become available when the even starts?

You can do it now.

 

[jbug617]

Just remember that the stream had to go down after Marvel so that could help explain the lower viewer count. Also Infiltration bodied everyone.

[barrbarr]

Yea, I'm here in the UK. I started watching the stream at the start of the day, by the time AE was starting it was about 6 AM or there about. Not really surprising why the numbers went down. Does anyone know how much KoF delayed the last two games?

Edit: Just bought my online ticket! Can't wait to catch some of this live, and the rest on archive.

 

[Dachande]

And it was pretty late by the time Street Fighter started.

Yeah, SF4 starts so late in Europe and most people need to go to work the day after, so I think it does lose a chunk of viewers through that at Evo. It's like 3-4AM when it begins.

 

[KidA Seven]

Correct. The stream was down for a couple of minutes and lost a shit load of viewers. Because of that, the hype that was transferring from game to game didn't make it to SF4. I was looking forward to SF4 the most, and even I wasn't feeling it anymore.

It also seemed to be going fast, due to the contrast between best of 3 format compared to the best of 5 Marvel format.

It flew by.

The shame was SF4 on the Friday (semi-finals) was incredible hype, probably the best matches I saw all weekend.

If Chris G doesn't play Marvel, you get to move on to the next round.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

I think every game went over their allotted time in 2012 with KOF finals being 3 hours long. Even if everything goes right this year, AE is still going to start at 10pm EST which might not sound too bad till you remember that top 8 is going to be 3/5 for all matches.

They are smart to do the Capcom special presentation after Marvel finals which will probably have the highest amount of viewers.

I wont be able to watch live will the archives be pass only? or no archives at all?

hmm

if the special presentation is actually exciting, it will prolly boost hype and keep people watching

if it's a stinker people may be less inclined to stick around for finals
