hey guys it looks like CafeId is actively encouraging people to come to their room to get KoF games in. It seems that at the moment they are getting setups put together and are also trying to get their stream working. Per the MAD_KoF Twitter:



stay tuned!

Just when I was about to play some real bout :/ Not missing this tho if a stream happens!

 

[Tekniqs]

I been told by the Illuminati that something is going down. That's all I know. Playing AE in the mean time if anybody wants to play with me.

My top 3 things to look for other than Christ G

1) has champ really been sandbagging for a year?

2) how many zero trilogy's are we gonna see

3) are the Japanese real? Specifically Nemo

1) I don't think he has been sandbagging for the whole year but at certain events he definitely was. Even last year at EVO he was sandbagging a bit against Ifrit which got him bopped.

2) Do you mean OCVing a team or getting 3-0? Probably a lot of the first one not as many as the second.

3) Nemo is "real" but him placing high is another story. The rest of Japan I am not expecting much. I would also say that the Mexicans will bring the heat as well.

Yea, let me change my number 3. Which of the international players is gonna do the best/ is any international gonna make top8

 

[JeTmAn81]

I'd love to see a Japanese player make top 8. Probably won't happen though.

 

[Tekniqs]

My buddy jest arrived on a plane with Daigo, saw a picture of them on twitter, Diago looks seriously tired, wiped out. Hope he get's an early night, he needs to be dropping bombs if he is going to break Infiltration.

maybe he has afternoon pool?

yo Real Bout? Respect. BTW, there was something on stream for like 5 seconds lol. It's happening.

 

[Busaiku]

The FinestKO stream goes live at 8 AM tomorrow.

 

[Dahbomb]

Top 5 international players at EVO are KBR, Frutsy, Nemo, White Black and Zak Bennet. After that you have players like Tokido, Disgruntled GOA, Taekua (if you consider him Mexican), El Gato and Abegen. I am sure there are a lot of hidden international players but those are the ones with tournament placings and seeds.

If you exclude ChrisG from US, then a 5v5 USA vs World would actually be competitive this time around.

 

[baphomet]

Are there any streams going on tonight?

 

[OceanBlue]

The FinestKO stream goes live at 8 AM tomorrow.

EVO local time?

 

[Tekniqs]

LETS GO ZAK BENNETT!

They should do a Chris G vs the World (including US) instead, that'll be more fun.

 

[Ragingnight]

come on

don't believe it.

Why would Mr Wizard and the Cannons need to ask other people to ask for things?

They already said Melee is at EVO, the blowback would be huge if they suddenly decide last minute not to run it.

 

[BlackJace]

I dont believe that at all lol.

 

[FSLink]

don't believe it.

Probably larger than expected turnout?

Wizard did tweeted that:

Joey Cuellar @EvilMrWizard
Smashers! Bring your TVs and game cubes to the Bally's grand ballroom!

 

[The Light]

Real Bout is a fighter I always wanted to learn! This is the correct stream link right? http://www.twitch.tv/teammexicolive

Edit* wow at the smash thing. That is so dirty if it doesn't happen.

 

[Ragingnight]

Wizard did tweeted that:

thats different than "we won't run the game".

 

[weirdingway]

I hope Melee eats it for Tekken getting screwed over

 

[KidA Seven]

https://twitter.com/Floejisan/status/355521383276613634

:lol

 

[Ragingnight]

lolwhat?

 

[OceanBlue]

If they don't have enough setups, they can't run pools on time. We all knew it was on the Smash community to supply the bulk of those because their needs are so different.

Hopefully they can find the setups. No way they can't find four more between 700+ people and all of Vegas.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I hope Melee eats it for Tekken getting screwed over

YES

oh god this post is beautiful

 

[MezzoForte]

Real Bout is really fun, and is just a beautiful series overall. And this is the stream link, live now!

[Horseress]

Oh yeah, that's bullshit

I hope Melee eats it for Tekken getting screwed over

Next FGW title?

 

[phaonaut]

Smash only has 16 total setups? for 700 people?

or what they guy only responsible for bringing 16?

Also they can run to a pawn shop and get as many crts as they like, unless they are really particular with brand.

 

[Karsticles]

I hope Melee eats it for Tekken getting screwed over

Ideally, Smash would get Tekken's stream time, too. No one wants to watch that. Maybe as a bedtime stream, or as a way to take a break from watching.

No matter what the situation was, they were going to run a melee tournament. They aren't going to refund 700~ people hotel, registration, and/or travel.

The shitstorm that would happen if they said "guys we don't have the 4 tvs, no melee" would be big as cross assault.

 

[Dahbomb]

They should do a Chris G vs the World (including US) instead, that'll be more fun.

But that's what EVO is... its already ChrisG vs the field/world/universe.

And Melee didn't screw over Tekken, Tekken players screwed over Tekken.

 

[BlackJace]

Wait, they need GameCubes too?

 

[Terareflection]

Wait, they need GameCubes too?

It's Melee not the newer Brawl.

Lol that's true. I guess I said something silly.

Melee players about to screw over Melee too

So I guess they're similar

Also according to the comments in that status they need 9 more setups as well.

 

[BlackJace]

I'm sure they could scrounge up a few Wiis from the closet easily, backwards compatible and all.

 

[jbug617]

I know EVO staff posted on Smash Boards saying that they needed help getting equipment so I guess people in that thread were suppose to help out.

Here is the thread from tonight: http://smashboards.com/threads/attn-evo-attendees.338506/

Here is the thread of Wizard asking for help: http://smashboards.com/threads/tvs-and-gamecubes.336265/

 

[Killa Sasa]

Met someone who was part of the Skullgirls PC port team tonight at BurGR. Cool dude.

Having fun here so far, line to get a pass was massive earlier today around open time. Trips been promising so far!

 

[Coldnoodle]

IT'S THE 12TH!

WE IN THIS!

KU KLUX KAWAII!

This seems like easy stuff to get if you are willing to spend the money, and not that much money.
