KOF Top 8

http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp

EDIT: Mystery game tourney is CRAAAAZY.

Also, Mike Ross got 4th place AGAIN and Valle won AE over Wolfkrone but it doesn't matter since Injustice started at 9. #BigBabies

The fuck was that nonsense on the stream just now?

I have never touched a KOF game before, but if I did my team would be:

King - Kyo/Kim/Benimaru - Mr. Karate

They look cool I guess?

THE DOG IS OP!

Someone please tell me the name of the weird Japanese mystery game on the main stream right now. I must know.

@negativecero: Battle Construction Vehicles

This mystery game stuff is fucking amazing. Holy shit.

Love watching KOF, so good!

Divekick on stream 1, Persona 4 Arena on stream 2

Oh my god that P4A finish, could NOT have been more epic. HYPE

That finish on Persona 4 Arena was insane!

I love that they are stamping people who get Frauded on Divekick.

The P4A Grand Finals were insanely exciting. Shadow Labrys killing a Mitsuru in the last round with an Insta Kill? Amazing.

Damn, I'll have to check the P4A GF on the archive, I've been fixing the Divekick wiki page.

Here's the match in question: http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp/b/408623896?t=4h47m55s

One of the most exciting things I've seen at this UFGT.

ChrisG chokes in Divekick finals, and Sanchaz takes it.

Though frankly Proguerammer seemed like a better player than both of them.

He does have a slightly unfair advantage, but I still think it's shitty that he got DQ'd both times.

Thanking you, I'll check it out.

Bara Bari Ball looks neat! It seems chaotic in a good way.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Soul Calibur on DDR PADS!!!

Hahaha took the round for pausing.

Oh man Soul Calibur on Dance Pads was nuts.

OMG! I've been away this whole weekend and just turned on the stream to see this baseball game, it's fucking amazing! I'm dropping everything in my life and going pro in it. It's going to be the future of e-sports.

Lethal League is an amazing video game.

Lethal League is one of the best things I've seen this weekend.

@recspec said:

He does have way more experience, but it would've been nice if one of them would've manned up and risked it.

wow wow wow wow

Lethal League was friggin' awesome. That was so much fun to watch.

Lethal League is LEGIT.

OMG Itz Ranmasama!

I just saw Dave Lang COP A FIGHT STICK from the stage on stream. :D

Big Man On Campus

As much as ChrisG was shaking his head you'd have thought he lost that match.

Why is Fanatiq there?

Also, why is Unknown being such a goon?

Chris G's sneaky glance over at Ranmasama when he equalled the score at 1-1.

"Yeah, I bodied you."

Loved seeing Ranmasama win that last game by just destroying Unknown. After that bullshit Unknown pulled earlier, I was just hoping for someone to destroy him.

Soul Fist wins!

ChrisG looking like Micheal Phelps son.

Man, I don't care that Ranmasama lost. He is an excellent player. Did anyone else see him stun Morrigan and Doom with the headbutt and then block the Hidden Missiles and try to go in on them? Fantastic stuff.

Also, Chris G can probably build his own Aggro Crag now with all those rocks.

Depressing this is over! Fun Weekend~!

It was like NCR all over again. <3 that Haggar play and the Dormammu swap was so smart.

Hypest shit ever.

Awesome job to Keits, his dad, his staffers, Level|Up Series, VGBootCamp, all the commentators and Kelly (who luckily wasn't injured when she took a tumble off the stage) doing the photography work.

And another UFGT comes to a close, I'll chat it up tomorrow and update the thread when interviews and stuff start hitting YouTube. Otherwise, make sure to check out next month's CEO 2013 preview/discussion! The final stop on the Road to EVO!

Lol here's that link to Lethal League:

Awesome tournament. So many highlights. Loved every moment.

Lethal League now has a page on the site. That shit was intense.

Great tournament, great experience!

EDIT: Too bad this isn't entirely true because Injustice started at 9. Kappa

@gaspower: Why the heck were so many people salty about the start time of Injustice?

Well, I'm not too sure actually. It probably had to do with them having third most entrants (though technically Divekick even had more entrants than Injustice) and then it was too early and getting the respect they deserve by having it at a much later sh etc. The vitriol on Twitter was just intense to the point that I don't even like CDJr anymore. He was talking mad shit about keits, UFGT and Divekick (e.g."ufgshit", "fuck keits, fuck divekick", "it's a flash game") and it just soured my impression of him and a bunch of other people in the MK community. They came off as very petty, very immature, and very entitled. The funny thing too is that I found this out while I was in the venue on Friday when I bumped into Dave Lang and he told me about it. I didn't even know at the time that people were pissed. The only other controversy that I knew of was the one involving Fanatiq and the AGE panel.

EDIT: On a lighter note, the hypest tournament moment that is actually related to fighting games was HOW Bananaken won the P4A tourney. That shit was completely BONKERS.

I went to sleep real early yesterday and the stream was laggy anyway, so I missed most of the last day. I'm watching P4A now and Divekick's crowd is so loud in the background I'll have to see that next. Should I just watch all the mystery tournament stuff? I'm assuming Lethal League and the DDR stuff was there.

@gaspower: I'm going to have to go watch this Persona stuff... I had first stream only running today.
