Dude, that is f'n cool! I really hope someone who knows how to play KOF at a great level wins that stuff. I would hate to see someone who enters that tourney win it and then they reveal they never played one bit of KOF in their lives.

and damn right I'm watching this. I think this is what we need as a community. The game is getting some serious face time right now and we need to support it as much as possible.

Awesome prizes! One of you guys should get an interview with SNKP unless SNK-Capcom is going to take care of that.

BTW is it up to 16 or 32 participants because in another site there was a correction of 16 participants only?

[desmond_kof]

I think prizes are nice too! Funny they are giving away a ps3 they designed while there isn't KOF98/2002UM on PSN.

It would have been even more great if they gave away those old school Fatal Fury hats. lol...

[Diavle]

This should be moved to the general section, will get more discussion that way.

Oh and uh... that is one butt ugly PS3.

[Kane317]

There's nothing wrong with discussing it here. I'm trying to keep the clutter down to a minimum. Feel free to link this thread in this general discussion thread if you please but I don't want to repost all the details in the general section if that makes sense.

As for the 16 / 32 confusion, I dunno the answer but I heard both too. Only reason I posted 32 is that it was already on the front page and I still don't know the answer.

[Diavle]

The general discussion  section gets the most views and posts hands down so imo it would be best to put the thread there instead of here where barely anyone looks but whatever, its your call.

[PureYeti]

Mr. SNK got sent to loser's brackets by Gamerbee's Akuma, but this isn't KOF related though

[Gravelneed]

When exactly does the KOF tournament start? After SSFIV?

[PureYeti]

ok kof xiii is ready, im hearing noises from the stream like Yagami theme but no image yet

[Kusanagi-Style]

What's up with the video on the stream.

[Cibernetico]

Just finished. some really cool matches but as usual, the majority of the idiots on the stream were people who obviously have never played a KOF in their lives or just started playing fighting games. Some of the stuff being said in there was just hilarious.

[Gravelneed]

Yeah, thank you guys so much for KOFXIII stream. I know it was hard for you guys. Ignore all the haters on the chat.

[Kusanagi-Style]

Thanks for making the stream happen and thanks for the awesome commentary.

[PureYeti]

After the stream was working, the chat was fine to me. I enjoy the matches and congrats to Mr. KOF for winning and others for participating
