KOF XIII 8th General Thread: KOF EVOlving 2012

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

i feel romance a little under his usually capacity a lot of error and dropped combo make me a sad panda I respect a lot his gameplay style (and I use king/beni too LOL). great entertainment by the way... chin OP is taking place in tier list right now :P

shame on kim... what the fuck really did you see in the grand finals? both on anchor and the gameplan hurt me so badly lol. standing/crouch B into everything much more nasty than kula (who lead usually into some damage from dp or spin kick... not full combo) and stand far D attempt to connect o.o, and if the situation is risky go for hangetsu ex... some invincibility heavy damaging and safe on block (it seems so).
And in a match I see 4 hienzan in a row and madkof died because he didn't do the fifth and eat an overhead into HD combo from lacid in the corner because sleep crouching... gosh.

juiced is ok but seriously have to quit shouting random character speechs on the DM/NEOMAX -.-, it's noisy. for the rest is great and really involved in the game, I like his comment.

sidenote, interesting to see less shen and clarky boy on clutch match.

Nothing is wrong with his commentary to me.

[Running Wild]

He squeals too much, rambles constantly, spots random nonsense and dips into completely irrelevant topics during matches, and he acts like he knows so much about KOF, even though he just started playing the game last year. I don't think he's suitable at all for a responsibility like commentating KOF matches.

I just... I don't even...

This isn't good commentary at all. Most of my friends have to put the streams on mute because they don't want to listen to that kind of bullshit. I should really be doing the same because often these streams have downright retarded commentary going on 99% of the time in every other game.

James Chen, UltraDavid, Seth Killian. That's great commentary when they are providing it for the games they know well. They are very professional at it.

But now I see KOF commentary and it's almost as bad as Marvel...

That says alot.

Even Mortal Kombat has had better commentary than these jokers.

[AirLancer]

Good KOF commentary?

Hmmm...

Look like we're not gonna have that unless everyone understands Spanish...

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..

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

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

[Running Wild]

Didn't Chris G forfeit before in KOF?

[desmond_kof]

Can you do better than any of the people you are criticizing, Running Wild? Or even try?

[Running Wild]

What is that supposed to mean exactly?

Juicebox and The Answer are ok in comentary, I wish they were doing more what they did in MLG. Like talking about technicalities and not just "Kick, Wax, Kick, Wax, Punch, Punch" everytime someone is doing a combo or HD combo, now that was annoying to hear. IMO

And they were both doing that, I mean I can go with the "hey, hey, hey" chant if its from the crowd, but hearing the commentating saying it also is not that great for some reason.

Anyways, great tournament, sucks I haven't seen many K' , at least Kula show up. lol

[Running Wild]

I was really digging Lacid's Vanilla Kyo play. Barely see him anymore with EX Kyo being present.

Discuss.

A couple of reasons why this is happening (IMHO): Too many fighters that are easier to get into and more people playing. A lack of a local scene for a majority of people. Bad online. Creating a vicious circle.

How this can be amended:

SNKP signs off on CVS2 HD. Free publicity for them and there's not a ton of money for Digital releases (at least in comparison with modern fighters) and best of all the game does not take away competition from recent games.

Would open the door for CVS3/SVC2 and build more hype and get more exposure. Not saying another game has to happen, but if it builds interest it could then be used to hype up...
