Sarchasm posted:It's not PR Rog, that's some Smash player. As I recall he thought the set was three out of five and was really upset when it turned out to be two out of three and he had already lost. So which was the guy upset? The guy standing or the one that stayed sitting? Also thhhaaaattt sucks hahahaha.

The guy sitting was Hungrybox, the one who lost, but it was winner's finals so both players thought it was 3/5 until the organizer walked over and told them.

Since this is technically a 360 event should I bother bringing my ps3 for the byoc area? Me and my buddy kinda want to play but it'll be weird if no one else is able to hop in.

Fruitsnacks posted:MK9 had 120+ entrants at its first CEO appearance in 2011, whereas KI this year had only 49. This isn't an isolated case, either; KI has been consistently drawing low numbers at every major. MK9's time may be over now but it had a much stronger tournament scene than KI currently does. So what is the issue with KI? Is it just not considered a good fighting game by the majority of the FGC or is it still getting hated on because it's XBone exclusive?

Is KI just bad or is it simply low adoption because it's on a next gen console, an exclusive, and only has like 5 characters right now? I have only played it a little but I liked it more than MK9 and I loved MK9.

It's mainly being an Xbone exclusive, especially since it was 100 bucks more than a PS4. Maybe next year it'll post better numbers with Season 2 and the Xbone being cheaper, but console limitation is the main reason.

SF4 is pretty good, KI is a glorified RPS simulator and it doesn't even have the "fun to watch" thing going for it.

KI's hard to visually parse due to terrible art direction, the sound design is terrible, and the game is based around stacking a shitload of unnecessary mechanics on top of a fighting game. It's one of those games where there were a bunch of people going "Hey wouldn't it be cool if THIS was in the game?" and nobody said no or asked how any of that stuff actually contributes.

It was the day before Evo, and all through the community, not a single soul was stirring, not even a Marn. The saltshakers were hung from the chimney with care, for tier whoring and blow ups were soon to be there.

Tae posted:140+ people, 12 set-ups. Watch his Nishikin match from CEO and rethink what you just said. Dudley doesn't have much safejump/OS stuff for various reasons though, his buttons/game plan just aren't suited for it. Also Chris G and King are really scary to meet in tournament, don't listen to Twitch chat.

The spectators were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of upsets danced in their heads. When out in the lobby there arose such a clatter, They sprang from their beds to see what was the matter. Away to the lot they flew like Magneto, Tearing through the crowds with a Marvelous Combo. When what did their wondering eyes saw there, But a miniature podium and 8 high-class players. With a little old man so prudent and shrill, They knew in a moment it must be S-Kill. More rapid than Vergil his champions they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name: "Now, Daigo! Now, Balrog! Now, JWong and Nuki! On, ChrisG! On, Tokido! On, Sako and Haitani! To the top of the screen! To the corner of the wall! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!" And they heard him exclaim in conjunction with Yipes, "Merry EVO to all, and to all: GET HYPED!"
