www.twitch.tv/canadacup2 KOF XIII at CanadaCup 2012 Day 1

KOF XIII Top 8 starting at 5:00pm EST.

Yes, starting now.

I don't think you guys realize how broke SNK is, they even moved their website to a free host of some kind iirc and their vids are hosted on youtube. They are cutting corners as much as they can.

Regardless, SNK holding a tournament or two in Japan for XIII wouldn't make any difference. People either play the game or they don't.

If they don't then that doesn't reflect on the quality of the game, 3rd Strike flopped hard back when it was released but picked up later on and is heavily played there to this day.

All that was known way before KOF XIII was out on console.

The truth is that nobody here really knows anything.

[SNK seems more interested in making endless strings of shitty Pachinko games and running their IPs into the ground than doing anything substantial.]

My comment was partly troll and partly truth. Community-wise nothing is going on. There is no hype for this game. There's very few local scenes. What Atlus did by getting the game on PSPlus is a nice gesture but it doesn't get around net code issues. Very few tournaments still run the game. And nothing is going on with the forums. No one's talking about anything. No strategies, no nothing but for the occasional blip on the radar. There is tension and anger and angst in the air. It's like a post-apocalyptic film.

SNKP needs to announce something soon regarding their Fighting Game Division.

The game ain't dead by a long shot, but it blows my mind that SNK can't possibly ride the wave of recent interest in KOF to do a revision, a sequel or another game entirely.

The fact of the matter is that if you don't have good netplay these days, your game is not going to last. Players are the life blood of the scene, people don't always have the money to go to tournaments in a bad economy and arcades aren't as plentiful as they were before. We can't just keep hammering the same dumb points over and over. This is a problem and it's going to continue to be a problem until they do something about it. As it stands though, SNK seems more interested in making endless strings of shitty Pachinko games and running their IPs into the ground than doing anything substantial. If this is how it's going to end, I'm sad to see them go out with a drawn out wimper.

Calm down, man.

Yo Elisabeth why so low on the ratio.

Nobody plays her?

Orochinagi just posted the ratio charts for Tokyo, Osaka, London, Paris and SoCal.

Chin rising up the ranks in most regions.

This isn't really a tier list, more a popularity list.

[In my opinion the difference I see in T6 and TT2 compared to a T5DR is the sheer amount of characters that are easy to spam the same crap and get away with winning.]

Nothing really special about them in my opinion.

As for the game, it is a good game.  I can't think of any one thing that is wrong with the game.  But I'm all ready bored with the game.  I thought the Tag mechanics would change the game enough from T6 but it hasn't.  I think some of it is the characters to me are just boring.  I can't figure out what it is about this game and T6, they're just not fun to me.

In my opinion the difference I see in T6 and TT2 compared to a T5DR is the sheer amount of characters that are easy to spam the same crap and get away with winning. I can understand why thatt is with the push to get new blood in, but for players who played Tekken for a long time you go online and see the same crap over and over. After a while it just seems monotonous. I am aso not saying games before T6 didn't have EO characters but the more of them you throw in the more people will use them. Eventually you flood a game with them and the game gets tiring.

Again it's just my 2 cents on it but that's what I see and my reason why I only play Tekken here and there compared to what I used to.

This isn't a very smart opinion.

They need to stop having Juicebox commentating KOF. It's poison.

I wouldn't say stop, but he really needs to tone down the fanboyism. Stick to the tone of MLG/ SF4 at Evo.

so what was going on with NYChrisG, I heard he forfeited his match with Romance in winners final, but shows up for his top 8 match against Juicebox..

He just forfeited the match, not the whole tournament. He was defeated by Juicebox in losers.
