Great tournament and matches guys, thanks for all the hard work. Congrats to Mr. Kof, he took the last match very convincingly. Also congrats to Reynald and the Answer taking 2nd and 3rd.

Some real nice combos, moments and comebacks there (especially RJ's Shen comeback). Overall Shen had the best showing of all the characters, good stuff. The Answer showed a great Kensou. Reynald had an awesome Yuri and a real nice Shen (double EX DM ftw) but wasn't able to show much with Vice outside a nice HD combo.

Not one Neomax throughout all the matches though hehe.

best for what it was. Good show guys. Hope SNKP gives us a fair shake.

I'm so jealous of everyone who entered the tourney.

I was ready to go, but then I saw my bank statement and that made a sad panda :'(

Someone take a pic of the KOF poster and swag given at the tourney.

Unfortunately, I missed the stream.

Any word on whether or not it will be posted online? And if so, when?

Dunno if it will be posted by anyone else but it seems like it was the one thing levelup decided to skip on archiving.

My friend recorded most of the matches from his computer. I'll see when I can get them up.

[Twinsen]

About half of the participants were not from AI.

UPDATE:
From the Professor over at mmcafe:

Some quick notes.

-The latest issue of Arcadia has coverage of September's Tougeki and the winners of the tournament. The page for KOF13 was all about Raiden and his dropkick with tips on how to use it. It further went on to show that the champion, Oeppu, uses a 1+3 button layout of ABCD. The end of the page has him quoting; "It's a very easy game, all you need is to hold on the kicks."

-Carnival arcade keeps on changing its allotment on the ratio chart. It started out as max 4 points, changed to max 6 points a bit later, now it's back to max 4. Lord knows what it'll be by the time of the tournament at the end of the month. IMO, their chart needs an update too, Vice and Maxima is a bit too cost efficient.

-KOF2002UM for the XBLA, its netplay is being blasted for lag even within Japan. With a grain of salt, rumor says that it uses the same netcode as 98UM (or something based on it). The game reportedly synchs during the character select screen. Bottom line, be the host for minimum lag.

Personally, I see this a great news.  If Japan is complaining as well (where, let's face it, is SNK's primary target), then there's a good chance that they'll REALLY address this issue before XIII comes out.  (Same really goes for the Dropkicks)

So I started a thread on SRK called KOF XIII@EVO 2011. So as a Community for KOF we have to let our voices be heard. here is the link: http://shoryuken.com/f2/kof-xiii%40evo-2011-a-256328/

edit: For those of you that have a facebook I have also started a group for KOF XIII@EVO and my idea is to get as many members as possible and then when they start making the line up for EVO show them how many members we have and how many people want KOF XIII@EVO. here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_128277760562925#!/home.php?sk=group_128277760562925

Apparently you are confused as to how tournaments work. 

It doesn't matter how many people WANT KOF at Evo.  What matters is how many people show up.  Tournaments need numbers.  If KOF is to be at Evo, KOF players need to be at Evo.  I'm tired of these "rally the troops" thread.  They don't do anything.  If you are going to have a list of people, it better a list of people guaranteed to show up.
