yea sadly team e.live (containing both Mr.KOF and RF) won't make it. But, KOF as stated was announced on short notice, plus the fact that i feel a lot of the KOF players exhausted themselves financially going to FR, which also plays a factor on the short heads up concerning KOF being added. I feel like in future MLG with KOF13, turnouts will be better. Game is great, and it'll be the only game i plan on watching from MLG this weekend. Fully expecting more great sets from the SoCal guys and another 1-3 top three.
edit: happy korn b-day btw n_n

I'm glad MLG is paying people, but until they remove that extended series rule I don't think I'll ever go to one =/
Trying to learn benimaru right now, that tk'd lightning stuff is harder than it looks. Still can only get 3 in one combo. Really wish he didn't have that f+b move so I could mash his anti air st.b easier.

hehe ty. i was hoping that good news about the event would have been a nice present though 
i agree with pretty much everything that you said. the Spring Championship in Anaheim this June should be able to produce an epic KoF XIII tournament, hopefully rivaling the SC2 tourney and getting the game the exposure that it deserves. at least this will be a good opportunity for the SoCal guys to prize split and take home a nice payday haha. i bet they would love to take top three and go back with 4k each :D.
also this is indeed a serious death combo video. the shen combo is especially funny imo

I can't believe I overlooked this game until today Oo - bought it instantly, but I hope it's not to late. Will I find enough players online in europe?

WHAT.
THERE WAS A THREAD LIKE THIS ONE.
I'm... I'm speechless.
Thanks guys, togheter we'll watch some glorious KoF.
|
I heard KOF was more global than SF so I had to check it out. It looks pretty cool and the art style is slick. Hopefully I can learn something today. I always knew about KOF but never knew the extent of the competitive scene.

Neither did I, but my passion for KoF dates to the year 1994 if you catch my hint ^^
As much as I love Starcraft I'll surely watch some fighting, this weekend!
Cannot wait to see how the pros play, afaik KoF has always been more 'open' than SF.
Or maybe it's my fanboyism speaking, dunno.

well, arguably some of the best players in the world (outside of japan) are at this tournament. it was announced on short notice, so a lot of the players couldn't make it in time, but a few notables stand out: BALA, Reynald, romance, Duc, Xian and his friend(justius??).
OH SHIT MRKOF THERE TOO? REALLY?
|
Oh, here it is.
Edit: Glad to see that Iori is still that beast of a character
|
Sigh... this MLG stream is atrocious. No matter what I'm watching, if I am spending much more time viewing downtime than actual matches then it is just not worth the effort.

Duc from MvC2??? Is he one of the best at KoF? If so, that's awesome.
Been watching the MLG stream on and off, but I am quite disappointed in the commentary. Seems to be a lot of Oscar grunting and making wild guesses.

Justin Wong eliminated. He manage to get top 8 which is cool but definitely didn't expect him to take it. Juicebox Abel getting ready to commontate. Get hype!!!!
|
The hype right now is out of control! Lets go #KOF!
|
dammit is it just me or that link for stream won't load for me. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
and no this duc and mvc2 spiral duc are two different ppl
edit: nvm finally loads. nice in time for reynald/duc

|
