Yeah they announced this really last minute.  I'll film as much as I can while I'm there.  They are going to live stream the tournament finals Level Up's ustream channel (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/leveluplive) and on G4TV.com.  See tournament details below or at this link (http://www.snk-capcom.com/?p=3489)

Again, thanks to everyone contributing for making this happen.  All prizes are provided by SNK Playmore JP/USA.

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?

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

What's up with the video on the stream.

Post by: Cibernetico on November 07, 2010, 06:42:23 AM
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.

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

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

It was pretty easy ignoring all the haters in there due to some of the stupid things they were saying like, "the commentators are using SF lingo to describe the matches!"

The exhibition tourney was free to enter? I saw and played a match there, but thought it was a registered-participant thing.

Shout outs to my super free as hell Kula/Athena/Elisabeth. :3

(Casuals were totally cool)

Tired.  Long day, I hope the commentary was clear enough.  Although we didn't really use much SF lingo, we tried to make it as "universal" as possible.  Seeing we were basically in a SF tourney, on their home court (thanks again to Valle for letting us host the tourney on SUCH short notice for FREE), so we had to do as much crowd pleasing as possible.  Commentating isn't really my thing, some guys find it natural but nobody else wanted to really step up except Giby, Oscar and myself.

GG to everyone and I'm REALLY sorry to David Kong, our hands were so tied with the rules and regulations between SNKP and the host so we couldn't do 32 players as planned, sorry David--I know how bad you wanted in but there was nothing we could do.

I'd have helped you guys move the machine...but i didn't want to pull a muscle prior to the last stages of the tourney =P  I am sure glad the ai peeps who joined were able to gain prizes! On a side note...as a KOF community...LET our Voices be ONE and have KOF 13 at EVO! show some support by spreading the word of how we want this game at EVO 2k11!

It's too bad I couldn't make it out. It was last minute. If I would have had at least a week in advanced I would have been able to go. Congratz to all the finalist and winners. I hope this opens up more windows and brings more competition once kofXIII is out on console.

Anything happen with SNKP at SoCal?

The rep showed up much too late (7pm ish vs ending around 8:30), didn't speak English (didn't have a translator either), and he kinda just watched from afar as oppose to sponsoring the event.  I didn't even know he was there till someone pointed out to me very late into the night.  All in all, I think this event has helped the relationship with SNKP and they now know there's a scene and huge interest for KOF over here.

I was fine with the way you were commentating. I just posted that up because the stream was full of people who play nothing but SF4 and only just started playing fighters. They honestly thought that fighting game language was exclusive to SF4 and thy were calling it SF4 lingo which was stupid.

I still have a good feeling that we set these events in motion and they know we exist...let's cross our fingers for EVO...

I shot quite a few videos at SCR.  I'm putting all of the KOF XIII videos in a single playist which you can see at the link below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUUN8JGZfiM&feature=&p=225606FEC1839433&index=0&playnext=1

as well as some pictures which I'm sure you've seen by now.

All in all I think having KOF XIII at SCR went well.  Especially considering how last minute everything was.  A lot of the SF Players I talked to that day are interested in the series.  If SNK Playmore doesn't screw up or delay the console release I think we have strong chance of being a part of Evo.
