Ross v. Champ money match in AE at FGTV.
It is. When they split MvC3/SF it really hurt the MvC3 nights- I think Wednesdays are just easier for more people.
Champ just loves those free donations.

It is... I only watch near the end.
The commentators bore the shit out of me (and when they do entertain me AJ shuts it down...) and the early rounds are just nothing special.

And Gootecks was born for Mitsuru. Basically Rose + Urien.
He played it for 5 minutes
False, mike would fit with Kanji
Not beefy enough. Kanji is buff and all, but he isn't in the same league as Marduk, E. Honda or Zangief.
On another note, KoF got really good numbers early on and everyone knows how that went. I wouldn't be surprised to see a large drop off.

LOL, they are both all over each other on that scrub tech.

Wait KOF got near 80 people at WNF? I don't remember that at all. At most it was like 40-50
edit
It never even did well in EC either at Next Level. I don't ever recall KOF ever being streamed at Big2 for a tourney.

Tristan vs Taylor
Not sure about 80, but KoF was mentioned on Levelup in reference to the last time an alternative fg got such high numbers.

certainly higher than SG, VF, BB (when it was at the proud bird), AH3, and MK9 (proud bird), but nothing like completely beating the capcom games.
Has any non-capcom game ever beaten both Marvel and SF4 in entrants at WNF? I can't name any.
Atlus is definitely doing a great job promoting the game.
The 24 hour stream, the Machinima stream, all the Cross Counter videos, the upcoming Level Up tournament on Saturday, and I imagine even more things in the next few months.
And then of course, there will always be those free shirts and glasses at Evo.

Well Mike Ross is on FGTV right now.
I'm watching. This set is pretty goofy.

But you wouldn't know that unless you've played P4, which I'm willing to bet Ross hasn't.

I asked the guys at the booth and they said the shirts were from E3, and nobody I saw got shirts or glasses.

Yuu/Nobi streaming some more TTT2 from Namco's Sugamo arcade for anyone that cares.
EDIT: It's now here; http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv103642392
Seems like the streamers have a (roughly?) 30 minutes stream limit so they have to keep url jumping. Since I can't be bothered updating the post, If the stream stops working for you, find the latest one here:

It will take a while for Persona to drop off. I don't see how this game doesn't make EVO.
Melty is too ugly-looking to do well in the mainstream US FGC.
It's not the end-all be-all, but it sure does help attract initial interest.

If sf4 was 2d it would have not gotten as popular as it did in the states. Yeah I know that sucks

i wouldnt be so sure of that. i think they would have gotten by on the whole 2.5D thing (wait, isnt it technically 2.5d?)
when they first showed the sf4 reveal video everyone was creaming their pants because they thought the game was going to be in that waterpaint mode and maybe a continuation of the Okami cel-shaded look.
Visual appeal is a key point in all games to a certain extent. MK sure as heck hasn't been selling on gameplay.
There is a minimal standard. Games like KOF, BB< and Persona meet it, Melty doesn't.
Exactly, anime-moe style games have an extremely niche appeal. It doesn't really matter if they are great games or not, most people won't buy them for the art style because they don't like it and that's perfectly reasonable.
Current Code V.1.07 stepped it up in the visual department. User interface and HUD is much cleaner and vibrant and resolution got bumped up. A Melty Blood that actually has an north american release and is priced fairly would surely do well.
I can't see it doing better than Arcana Heart. (and I like Arcana, it's the only anime game I do like)
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
No, it's a key point in video games.
I actually do; the game had a stronger North American community than Arcana Heart to begin with. I wish I remember the numbers for it at EVO 2010. Although Arcana Heart could have actually did better than what it did if it wasn't for various freak accidents and it coming out before evo and then not being inducted in the line up.
Our tournament is on Sunday, norcal is doing their tournament on Saturday.
A PSN download of a 2009 title is never going to be a featured EVO game.
I'd say it had a better shot than a PS2 game that was never released in North America.
