If that 2 hour block of KOF is anything to go by, I don't think we're getting a KOF14 announcement at EVO.

 

[Devid905]

6 hours of Marvel on Saturday? :-O *froth*

Well, USF4 have 14 hours on the Friday, so..... (15 if you want to count WNF vs NLBC)

 

[Karsticles]

Oh shit, announcements and awards after Melee...!

Nintendo...?

Hey, and after Marvel.

Clearly we're getting a Marvel patch and a Ridley announcement. ;-)

Well, USF4 have 14 hours on the Friday, so.....

It's the new game, so I'm cool with that. I think a combination of what's new and what's popular should get the most screen time, but other games should always at least get their top 8 on stream for the fans throughout the world.

 

[Loona]

No announcements in the same day as KoF XIII finals... :/

 

[jbug617]

yeah i'm scrounging around trying to find info on side streams. I know Madcatz is having a live stream and they put out there schedule. Art said he streaming Team Pie Salty Suite. I read on twitter they are trying to stream the BBCP Suite on Thursday night.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Oh shit, announcements and awards after Melee...!

Nintendo...?

Best Case: Pokken Fighters, new SSB4 roster announcement
Worst Case: Triforce as a Mii preset

 

[SloaneRisette]

Oh shit, announcements and awards after Melee...!

Nintendo...?

I-It's happening?

 

[BadWolf]

No announcements in the same day as KoF XIII finals... :/

If there was a slot for it on the schedule then that would pretty much ruin the surprise no?

Its not like they need much time, a minute long trailer or whatever before the Top 8 is all that's needed really.

Still probably not going to happen but I wouldn't look at the schedule for hints.

 

[Thores]

So Dan Fornace, the former lead designer on Killer Instinct S1, just announced his new indie effort. Rivals of Aether, a Smash Bros styled game that's actually 100% intended to be a competitive fighter. There's already an announcement trailer on the site that reveals the first two characters.

I'm so intrigued/excited by the idea that I already made a thread for it.

 

[Devid905]

I kinda wish there's some sort of streaming for X-MANIA USA and TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS II, but looks like that's not going to happened

 

[onionfrog]

6 hours of Marvel on Saturday? :-O *froth*

It's gonna be good!

 

[Karsticles]

I need Yams in here to help me pretend that the announcement period after Marvel is for a patch.

EVO stream schedule is up

Streams are:

http://twitch.tv/srkevo1
http://twitch.tv/srkevo2
http://twitch.tv/capcomfighters for USF4 pools

No BB pools? Really?

 

[DEATH™]

Kazuya summarizes the whole story of Tekken in his last dialouge in T6 SC.

Mishimas are meant to fight and kill each other...

HYPER MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 CONFIRMED

 

[Revven]

Hey, and after Marvel.

Clearly we're getting a Marvel patch and a Ridley announcement. ;-)

Lol, I know that it could be anything much like how KI was presented last year right after Injustice (or was it before Injustice? I forget when it was shown off). BUT, prog's teasing about this really makes me think they've gotta be showing something. (He teased the way he usually does on Twitter, using the Iori laughter youtube vid).

 

[GhostRidah]

That fighting game guide came out at the perfect time, EVO always gets my friends attention but then they try to play a fighter and quit shortly after, now I can just hand them that book and hopefully they stick around.

Good stuff Patrick!

 

[SliceSabre]

No BB pools? Really?

I thought that was weird too considering they have the third largest amount of entrants if I recall correctly.

 

[sixteen-bit]

HYPER MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 CONFIRMED

"not yet"

 

[pixelish]

ULTRA MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3?! PogChamp

EDIT: no blazblue pools yet injustice and tekken have them on stream

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Where are the Blazblue pools?

 

[rCIZZLE]

Anybody know the lineup for the NLBC vs WNF 5v5?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Ultimate Generic Non-Affiliated Super Heroes vs Capcom 3

 

[Master Milk]

No BB pools? Really?

Six hours of BB played by people that should have some idea of what they're doing, versus some number of hours of BB played by people that have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

I'm not upset.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Where are the Blazblue pools?

The same place as the KOF pools.

 

[Beckx]

Generic Non-Affiliated Super Heroes vs Capcom 3

GNASH v Capcom, I love it!

Can Phoenix Wright, Morrigan & Co. win against Rich White Guy, Strong Girl, and God Man?

 

[PureYeti]

Is there going to be a charge for Evo streams again? If so, how much? I wasn't able to find any information regarding this on their site.

I think it was $10?

No KOF pools? That really stinks

 

[sf2fanatic]

Thank you for the smash match link. That Shryuken victory pose...lol

 

[Hot Coldman]

actually, let me try again: Imperfects vs Capcom

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Marvel, not matter if its pools or finals is always exciting.
Street Fighter is exciting when you see top 32 on and some of the pools of death.
KOF is hype top 8 and great GFs.
KI looks the same to me from pools to GF
Smash is exciting 32 on.
I have no idea what I am watching in BB. Same for Persona (though I did have fun with that game)
Tekken top 8 is amazing.

Kinda wish they did a tournament of legends for MvC2.

THANK YOU.

Can you extrapolate on this more?

Good stuff Patrick!

What book?

 

[jbug617]

Top 8 of Vampire Savior will be streamed by: http://www.twitch.tv/arkadeum at 3:30pm PDT/6:30pm EDT. Much love to the Super Turbo community helping us out! Be sure to watch Tournament of Legends II and X-MANIA USA on this channel as well!

Marvel pools were so exciting last year that you could hear the Melee crowd from the main stream.

Stop playing with my heart.

DC Vs. Capcom

DC Vs. Capcom

Well that ticks off the generic heroes component.

 

[Toxi]

Speaking of aMSa... GimR already uploaded aMSa vs M2K!

Here

For anyone who didn't watch KoC4 yesterday, you need to at least see that. It is nuts.

The amazing thing about aMSa is how much technical skill he has over things that are completely specific to his character. Yoshi plays so much differently from everyone else in the game that he was basically unpaved territory.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

If there's something new smash related I hope triforce presents it

This should get more exposure - a GAF thread, perhaps?

 

[Revven]

Can you extrapolate on this more?

I can try.

Basically, whenever prog tends to tease something he knows that the community doesn't and it's hype/good for the community, he is cryptic. And sometimes, he doesn't even give any hints. This was one of those times where he just responded to when D1 tweeted about Nintendo sponsoring EVO with this video (he uses this video a lot with his teasing, as well):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxzX3tyHHMg

Actually, I went and found the tweet myself: https://twitter.com/progducto/status/485890391418626048

And he also did it here: https://twitter.com/progducto/status/485891839879159808

Read the string of Tweets before his and it'll make sense.

Sometimes though when prog teases something it can be disappointing but I don't think this would be one of those times -- if it were I'd assume he wouldn't say anything at all.

Damn, Ultra MvC3? At least it's not UMvC3: Console Edition or something like that

 

[J.D]

So I was checking the EVO stream schedule and I don't see anything on X Mania. Is it being streamed somewhere else?

 

[Karsticles]

Oh snap. Evo leaking the Marvel patch already.

ANNOUNCING MARVEL VS CAPCOM 5

WE'RE JUST SKIPPING 4

 

[Myn]

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

He's leveled up over the course of the game this past year and was able to beat other top KOF players and take tournaments. I think someone in thread stated that Tokido just has overall better fundamentals, but it's really hard to say if he's better or not. Him winning KOF at EVO is hard to say as well, seeing as how in almost all of the tournaments he's been in, he's been sent to losers bracket as well as clutching out grand finals sets 3-2, his wins aren't definitely free. I'd imagine with the dominant scene Korea has, CafeID crew is probably planning counter strategies for Tokido, who has also started adopting new characters himself. Regardless if KOF is a Saturday final, I think it'll still be pretty entertaining like the last years.

Good stuff, it's really well-written. Defiitely passing it around to my more beginner type pals.

Definitely needs a thread of its own, with EVO coming this week, there will be so many new players and people interested getting into fighters that could benefit from it.
