I'll give this thread a little life. Me and a few others up here in Cleveland are trying to push KOF XIII for our scene. If anybody's interested you can go to
http://consolecombat.net/ for details. We're out at a Fox & Hound in Parma. I hate sounding like a commercial, but we're here if anybody's in the area. We have a stream as well at
http://www.twitch.tv/consolecombat. We play AE, UMvC3, and have a lot of good/known MK players like ForeverKing, PerfectLegend, and other people I don't care about but others do for some reason show up (Carl usually plays AE or UMvC3 here, not really MK). I've been wanting to get Cleveland more into the KOF scene forever and I feel like now's our chance. I wish I could go to NEC though.

I forgot to mention, aside from myself we have quite a few dedicated KOF fans as well as people new to the series.
