Anyone got footage of the XIII tournament? Because I missed it completely.

[PureYeti]

Nah sadly it wasn't able to be stream at EVO beside the short exhibition matches.

This is definitely my favorite EVO! A lot of great moments happen. 

[Don Vecta]

I followed most of the MK tourney and I was so pleased to see how balanced the game is, considering the wide array of characters used and how effective they played. This force NRS to keep a balanced game for competitive matches for further tourneys like SoCalRegs or other ones.

Who knows? Probly japanese players would feel interested in playing it hardcore?

[drol]

I wonder which teams were used in KOF

[Don Vecta]

So you asked for the XIII EVO matches? Here are some.

Star with Mr. KOF vs. Xian.

Evo 2011 KOF XIII 1/12 Mr KOF vs Xian

Armando vs. Reynald.

Evo 2011 KOF XIII 2/12 Bala vs Reynald

Xian vs. Romance.

Evo 2011 KOF XIII 3/12 Xian vs Romance

El Rosa vs Reynald

Evo 2011 KOF XIII 4/12 El Rosa vs Reynald

Yeah, I was definitely not expecting Jax or Mileena to do so well in that tournament. To be honest, I was expecting Kung Lao, Raiden and Reptile all day because of how good their matchups are. Definitely bodes well for how much there's left to uncover for the game.

My biggest concern right now is that most of the issues in the game revolve around its 3D engine from MKvsDCU and it's wonky hitboxes. Which sadly they may not be able to fix until they make another installment.

It's not that bad, i mean, game's playable and not broken. Those issues can be polished later. The good thing here is that the game is looking well balanced and there's no apparent broken tiers (or not found yet).

[Proto Cloud]

I know it isn't bad, but it does cause a bit of randomness every once in a while and is the root of the biggest issues of the game like block infinites, punishable breakers, disjointed hitboxes, and etc. Thankfully most of these have been patched at the moment and as far as EVO went it looked very stable.
