I honestly think the only one who can beat ChrisG in GF is a Jwong with a new and better team. I mean I could see someone possibly sending him to losers but I doubt anyone will keep him from GF.

Has Dakou appeared anywhere since Evo 2012? I haven't seen him around.
While we're talking about Ryu players, Bahbahani is also a really good Kuwaiti Ryu but I don't know if he's going to Evo.

No he hasn't. But he's supposed to be in the Team tourney. And I'm not even sure if he mains Ryu anymore. But as far as skills are concerned, he's the only Ryu I would say is close to Daigo's level.
Time period is too short for a new team that is high level tournament ready. Justin couldn't beat ChrisG's Ryu team with his supposed "counter" team at last year's EVO. Justin Wong is most likely going all in with his Wolverine/Storm team.
As far as I know the only two players who have actual new tech is FChamp with his Dorm/Morrigan team (not new tech but it's supposed to be more optimized by now) and Nemo. My guess is that the Nemo secret tech is the already discovered dead man tech but if it isn't..... OOOOHHH BOY!
Still though... secret hidden tech is highly overrated most of the time.
Did you even watch this?, last week,, and Rog is not sandbagging. Got downloaded.

But they are doing more than that. They are allowing people to play what better venue then where most of the FGC will congregate at. Also since most people will just be watching this is the perfect time for it since nobody will be practicing for their matches.

dude i was just trying to poke some fun at it is all. I can see why usual EVO fans would dig on Smash bros tho.

Hahaha yeah. The battle cry of The King! I remember a friend used to have that as his text notification sound.

I played that team. It's good but it's not better than Dante. It's just a counterpick because Trish's only major weakness is durability.
Bolts is a better assist for both characters but the confirm off of the unblockable is much harder with Strange, especially midscreen.
Except that time it wasn't, like last year with TACs. And the year before that, when Rog pulled Acid Rain into Devil Trigger out of nowhere.
Oh yeah, that's right! That's definitely something to be excited about. To be honest, I'm not skilled enough to tell how good players are past a certain level so I'll have to take your word for it. I hope he still plays Ryu.

AE aka matchup fighter four is really about bracket seating..especially in such a big tournament like Evo. You meet up against two bad matchups and your tournament life is over. If you took the same competitors at Evo and ran the same tournament again, I think you would get a different top 8 each time.
Although Infiltration is a lock because I think he has an easy path to top 8 this year.

Yup, I'm with this. Hate to see everyone hoping Infil loses but I really don't want to see him win again either.
Wish Ryan Heart would do something.
I wanna see Sako bring some Evil Ryu action, doubt we will see it though, Ibuki if he decides to show up.

Wouldn't call that downloaded. They both played very tight.

Infiltration wouldn't slip to your Daigos or Xians, it's those Riceata/K-Brad who will make him slip up and upset him. So an "easy path" could very well be a hard path for Infiltration, because he'll be up against players who he isn't ready to play against.
Perhaps download was too strong, didn't feel at any point Rog really threatened though, was pretty straight forward.

Really looking forward to SF4 team tourney and the main tournament. Also hoping we get some solid info on the version 2013/14/CE/whatever they call it. I'm rooting for Sako and Daigo to win AE. Daigo because he's Daigo and I've been a fanboy of his like many others since the 2004 parry video. Sako because he's using my main character and I want to see Evil Ryu win EVO. KOK is also attending but I don't think he'll even crack top 32.
As for the team tournament, I wish they didn't allow Laugh and Infiltration to be on team wild card. It just feels like Korea 2+Popi. I'd rather they remove one of the two(lol it would definitely be Laugh between the 2) and add a player from another region or at least another European country. Not a big deal, but that's my preference for how the team tourney should have been. And it didn't surprise me one bit that Infiltration and Poongko have continued to not be apart of the same team in country vs country tournaments.

Is this because you feel that KOK isn't that strong of a player or is it due to the amount of players there? To be honest, I think I've only seen KOK play once and I don't remember how that was.

So TAC infinites were performed in top 8 of UMVC3? Rog won EVO with this "new" tech? What about the Kubo escape? The Lightning Loops? The Firebrand death loop? Vergil's Round Trip glitch? Justin's Wolverine tech? All those anti Phoenix tech?
Hidden tech discovered soon before EVO had little impact on the results. However tech found last year would come into play this year mainly the TAC infinites, Round Trip glitch and maybe even the Kubo escape if Champ is playing. Both FChamp and Viscant won with strategies and tech that were known by most players at the time, they didn't pull out any secret stuff it was all business.

Pipe dream but I want to see a Roy player do good in Melee. Shame I will be too busy with work during EVO...

The thing is I only really back him when the pressure is on. He goes up a level but still plays so freely. A lot of other players, even those who might body him elsewhere freeze up.

A combination of both, he's good, but he's not elite and this tournament is chock full of elite talent from everywhere in the world. Him making top 32 or top 8 would require good draws and luck(to avoid bad match ups).
Besides seeing his Evil Ryu pop up on Youtube once in a while. The most I've ever seen of his ER is when he faced Juso(KOFUM2002 is his Xbox Live tag) Sakura in a FT10 and he got bodied 10-5 I think. The thing is that he wasn't competitive in a lot of matches, he got bullied and dominated. I don't have much to base his skill on, but that's my guess based on what I've seen so far. I'd love him to prove me wrong though. Too bad Naruo couldn't come, he's got probably the 2nd best Evil Ryu next to Sako's.

Pretty much this. Rog has always been straight forward in his play, it's his ability to apply relentless pressure that makes him dangerous. In causals people can download him and body him, but in tourneys he can force his opponents to dumb down their play and choke to his pressure.

I predict a lot of these predictions get blown up. EVO is crazy like that.
They had the #fuckchairs moment in that video but without the context

Woot! I will have the whole weekend off. I am ready. Although I wish there was more Tag 2 going to be shown. Also wouldn't mind more Persona, as I haven't really seen to much highlevel stuff recently.

Aw yiss. Looking forward to gorging on eight hours of AE on Friday (if I can keep my eyes open until 4am UK time)

Can't wait, Sako is gonna destroy some poor souls.
Would buy the premium stream pass in an instant if I was sure Twitch were capable of providing the 720p/60fps feed without lagging or stuttering (care more about the smoother framerate than the rez bump tbh) but since the overall twitch performance lately has been worse than last year, which also lagged, I think I'm gonna stay free.

i'm quite salty that they won't stream Tekken semifinals
For me not having to deal with stream ads makes it entirely worth it.
Has Dakou been floating around KOF instead- that's his first and primary game.
The guy at Evo I'll be rooting for in AE is Luffy since I use Rose- no idea if he's got a good bracket- could see him making top 8 with some luck.
