Something something conspiracies and KI isn't an anime game

I struggle to find an alternate explanation. I can only presume the money didn't go through the right channels.

 

[Busaiku]

ArcSys should've given the $25k to SRK instead of the players, like Microsoft.

 

[Sheroking]

If Yipes intends on rolling with just Team Nemo, he won't make top-16. He's probably the next best with that team, but he needs to play some Vergil.

 

[SolarPowered]

Thank you for this title.

It is perfect

 

[Shouta]

I think it's the game that makes the most sense to lead with in terms of warming up the crowd.

Then to cool them down with KI!? D=

 

[kirblar]

Then to cool them down with KI!? D=

I was trying to be positive and polite.

But yes. Like an ice bath.

 

[SolarPowered]

apparently BBCP got the morning slot on Finals day and anime isn't happy with it.

Anime should be happy they get anything at all lol.

 

[Professor Beef]

I'll bet someone $20 that Yipes doesn't get Top 8 or better in UMvC3.

 

[Silky]

Hang on is Reynald going to EVO? any of the CafeID folk?

At least it's protected from all these burns!

Reynald isn't going. I think Cafeid will be there.

 

[IronLich]

When has an anime fighter NOT opened the day on EVO finals? I mean, yeah, Blazblue opened the day back in 2011, and Melty at 2010, and Persona just got shot down to Friday last year.

But yeah, this works. Early day in Vegas is probably late night in Japan, and Japan's going in on BB for sure.

Let's be sadder that KOF isn't even on the finals day at all since they stole the show 2 years running IMO.

 

[smurfx]

reynald and romance won't be there. pretty sure most of cafe id will be going.

I think they're fine where they are.

 

[Busaiku]

In every other instance, they had fewer entrants/no bonuses/no international players (well except last year, but they still had fewer entrants).
The King of Fighters XIII has fewer entrants than Killer Instinct and BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma.

 

[kirblar]

I think they're fine where they are.

World Cup finals being on Sunday means this is probabbly for the best, given that KOF needs its amazing Latin American cheering section.

pot bonuses don't give you any pull on the schedule

Prediction time

UMvC3: ChrisG if he plays his shit properly this time
BBCP: Jiyuna the American hero

Spoiler

Someone from Japan

KI: Who usually wins these at majors? JWong?
USF4: A non American

 

[Kumubou]

The King of Fighters XIII has fewer entrants than Killer Instinct and BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma.

Melty Blood in 2010 was the third biggest game and had two Japanese players, and still opened the day in front of TvC and MvC2 (so they put all of the anime games up front that year).

You're going to believe what someone from the Illuminati tells you?

 

[Passive Assassin]

any word on xrd being playable at evo?

 

[call_kotaku]

ArcSys should've given the $25k to SRK instead of the players, like Microsoft.

Wasn't that the conclusion everyone reached with the Skullgirls charity drive vs Injustice buy-in last year?

 

[Karsticles]

Finals on Saturday is a better fate than Sunday morning finals.

pot bonuses don't give you any pull on the schedule
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=117491768&postcount=1362

Right, but BBCP has more entrants, too. I think that confounds folks more.

 

[Dahbomb]

Kadey if you still want the player line up/descriptions for UMVC3 then post in the thread or shoot me a PM.


Predictions:

UMVC3: Justin Marvelous Wong
KI: Justin Wong
USF4: Daigo
Smash: Armada
Injustice: Sonic Fox
KOFXIII: Tokido

Probably will be way off but whatever.

Another determining factor was this schedule was locked in months ago before there was any pot bonuses. Then sponsors from AKSYS/ArcSys and Microsoft asked about their finals were so that they could book flights around that.

That left us unable to make any last minute switches because of entry numbers or hype.

Was KI > BBCP before the AK/Arc pot bonus, then?

Q gonna get bopped by Abegen in his second match.

I thought Abegen only played shitty games like Marvel.

Flights seems to be the problem now if they were.

Well according to Mecha macgyver he's going to get bopped in his first match

Most crap game players play ArcSys games.

Abegen's Az from a few days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJJUqf882y0

He ain't bopping nobody.

 

[Dahbomb]

Armada is entering Smash?

Don't know, if he is then he would be my pick. Otherwise either M2K or Mango.

So you mentioning that there were going to be games with finals on saturday and friday, was just you trolling, because Blazblue was going to be on sunday no matter what.

I must be special in that my games must be of a particular quality of crap.

Is there more context to your reference? Because there still are Saturday finals.

 

[Infinite]

He quit playing Melee singles iirc.

 

[Sheroking]

Selfishly really glad that BlazBlue is early. I get to sleep in until KI finals and watch the rest of the day. No Injustice or anime to break my stride.

 

[Kalamari]

This week will be exciting, call it a hunch.

 

[Hitokage]

Oh shit, might as well not even bother. The winner has already been decided:

Is Tokido really better at Kof than Mexico and Korea' s finest?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Wizard's original post was made the day the BB pot bonus was announced. And it was made responding to everyone in the thread assuming that the game would get Sunday primetime for that reason alone.

 

[Karsticles]

Is Tokido really better at Kof than Mexico and Korea' s finest?

In a recent interview, he said that it's his main game next to USFIV, and that he thinks he has better fundamentals than the rest of the world but lacks matchup experience since the game isn't as big in Japan.

Do you happen to have a link to that post to better my understanding?

I think Tokido is as strong as mad KoF, Reynald, and Bala. He just maybe a more talented fighting game player than all of them

Amazing title, hopefully I get the chance to meet you guys there. I imagine at least Q won't be too hard to find all things considered :T

Still, ugh, I feel more unprepared for this than I should be. Fucking summer classes leaving me with no time to train =____=

[Deckard Cain]

Devil Asuka? Oh shit that's kinda hot. If that was a real character I might play Tekken.

Capcom better hook it up with a PC copy of Ultra >:|
