KOF XIII 7th General Thread: Evo 2012 countdown edition

[Rex Dart]

Ugh, I should have skipped work today. Let me know if Kaoru's matches get uploaded anywhere. I was really looking forward to see his fights.

Bala vs Kaoru might be even more epic then Bala vs Poongko or Reynald vs Poongko.

Is xiaohai eliminated?

Pikachu's double Leona OCV was the sexiest thing I've seen so far. Just awesome.

Yeah, that was beautiful.

He did really well against team Mexico as well.

I'm sure Mad_Kof will create few surprises, more than expected IMO...

Said!  :P

This event is doing so good!

Thoughts on day 2:

- Taiwan's Ren has the best Mature to date imo. He knows this character, does not just pick her to do the cheap frame traps like everyone else.

- Korea dominating, most made it very far and 4 of Cafe ID are in top 8.

- The most problematic character this tournament has hands down been Billy, more than Karate. The Asian players in particular don't know what to do against him. Honestly, he looks rather top tier. Even Bala, I feel was riding on the fact that ppl can't do anything against Billy's pressure. Once ppl took out his Billy he seemed beatable.

- Didn't see enough Kaoru

- MADKof had a poor showing for most of the tournament but his match to get into top 8 was nuts. Duolon play at its finest.

- Mr. Kof's troll Ash combo on Zerp lol, so good.

- Dat Pikachu Leona.

Overall I would say that so far this game has had an excellent showing, I think the crowd will love what they will see tomorrow. All the non Billy players need to seriously sit down and take him apart by tomorrow.

4 Koreans, 1 Taiwanese, 1 Filipino, 2 Mexicans in Top 8. Asia says hi.

[LouisCipher]

LOL at all the whining about Billy. I thought he was low tier for a while guys?

He's not that bad, you just can't be reckless against him. I think the bigger problem is probably Karate or Beni. They're just too good in general. Glad to see Ryo being used more, I always thought he was solid and being slept on. What happened to that gdlk Maxima player who was on stream on Friday? Sunday finals are going to be epic.

That Guard Crush string of BBZ's with the SSJ Shen Woo was pretty badass.

That was pretty hype. I'm still searching for the Kaoru vs Romance match though.
