rather just wait and watch what i missed since i won't be paying proper attention to the game.
I also think Xian will do better than anyone expects in Marvel. Top 32 probably.
He mentioned on his stream he is switching characters in Ultra (didn't say who, don't think he's sure). But after EVO, there's just not enough time beforehand.
Didn't he say he was gonna drop Gen?

USF4? Because Gen got a bit weaker, but more importantly the other player's knowledge of Gen got a lot stronger in the past year.

you going down fersis!
It's during KI and Smash, so I'm fine, long as it doesn't go into extra time and penalties.
Evo 2014 guidebook mobile app, looks really useful for those attending.

As usual me & people in the know have noticed that the Wolverine vs. Zero match up has been evolving. It used to be in Zero's favor but Wolverine players have adapted to the match up & it has swung in Wolverines favor.
As such Wolverine now has winning match ups against almost all of the dominate points, Zero, Mags, & Nova. He also is very very strong against the big assist characters Dante, Doom, & Strange. He still loses to Vergil(if he's out) & Morrigan though & goes about even with FireBrand.
Pretty much Zero has dropped off a lot cause other point characters are going even or straight beating him while other characters continue to improve.
Zero Match Ups against the 5 major points are.
5/5 Magneto
5/5 Nova
5/5 FireBrand
4/6 Wolverine
3.5/6.5 Morrigan
So who are these top players (and "people in the know") who actually think Wolverine beats Zero in the match up? Or top players who actually think Wolverine is a better overall point character than Zero?
Wolverine only beats Zero in the first 5 seconds (same as against every other character in the game) and then he starts losing against Zero.
Firebrand goes even with Zero? Yeah OK man. I wonder if Karsticles is reading this... he would probably go crazy reading all of this.

God, LK is so good at killing hype finals -- this set was painful to watch. His Makoto (the one game he played her) looked about as bad as mine! D:
He excels at chocking it up.

dat LK facepalm though. Spark has fluffy hair in that though. Looked trim when I saw him last week, lol
My predictions:
USF4 will see Ricky O, Jwong, PR Rog. Snake Eyes will be my favorite to watch, I want to see him get far. I don't know if Sako is coming. Xaio Hai, Xian, Gamerbee, Kazunoko, Daigo will be my other picks.
UMvC3 I just want to see Zero fuck shit up. I want to Zero/Dante teams. I also want to see Viper teams but that's asking for too much.
KoF 13 won't be as fun to watch without Reynald. Tokido and Xian are my favorites here.
Smash will be fun.
DGAF about the other 4 main games. Sonic Fox is gonna whoop ass at Injustice though.
Kazunoko will win the GGXXAC+R side tournament. Skullgirls side tournament is going to be exciting. Duckator, Jayford, Elky, Winnie, Keninblack, Sonic Fox, and Severin are who I expect to see tearing shit up.

Those finals were pretty hype if you focus more on Spark's impenetrable defense and reads. I loved that year in BB.

I don't get it.
every time that i read another post about infiltration winning evo... i remember about infiltration in topanga world league... (maybe some of the people commenting didnt see it??)
I know that he is still doing really good in american tournaments and also that he has beaten some japanese players that went to those americans tournament (like wao not long ago and later he also beat momochi 6-1 in grand finals)
but is that enough!?

A couple years back the TSA jacked all of Sp00ky's equipment when he was coming from Canada to the US after an event.

The problem with Zero is that Chris G, Justin Wong, and F. Champ all don't play him.
That's his problem....

Another funny thing about that top 8 is that a runback between ChrisG and FChamp almost happened, then
Edit: And since a lot of people were anticipating that runback, I think this image/caption combo sums it up great:
they both got eliminated the round before they would have met.

SORRY BRAHS, MAYBE NEXT YEAR, HOLD THAT
Why not watch both?
This is actually a pretty good year.
There's Kazunoko, N-Man, Dogura, RF, maybe some more that I can't think of.
Probably the highest level of competition in the US ever if they all enter.

Since last evo up until now, they've played around...6 times? 3 wins on each side.

Really? It seemed like Chris has won more often in the last year when they've met. I don't have a tally though.
