That KoFXIII tournament was amazing. It's too bad that Bala seemed to lose his cool near the end, but he was amazing and even though he didn't win, I still think he showed the world that he's one of the best players out there. I can't wait to see what the next Evo brings.
Something like that, the "Road to EVO" was a set of tournaments that gave seeding for placement at Evo. The better you did in those tournaments (NCR, Torukyen, Final Round, etc.) the more points that you got for a good spot in pools at Evo. That said, so long as you registered for evo beforehand, you can just show up... just know that where you where placed in pools would be random.
Personally, I felt 2012 was KOFXIII year. Those Koreans just came out of nowhere. And combined with Infiltration winning SF and another Korean that won Tekken? It was like Korea was on top of the FGC for a while after that EVO.
As someone who loves UMVC3 and has never played KOFXIII.... I think I agree with you. The finals of UMVC seemed hype, but holy SHIT that KoF match was unlike anything I've seen at EVO before.
Still watching this in 2015. I watched this EVO live from start to finish (online) when it aired and was never as amused or entertained by any other EVO events like i was this one, i will never forget it, man if only i was able to go in person :( Amazing matches and commentating, seriously unforgettable EVO. Yipes though haha.
Really solid Top 5. Was my first EVO I ever watched and I absolutely LOVED it. Cannot wait for 2013. My top 5 would've included Daigo v Gamerbee though.
KOF XIII gave me a near heart attack. Bala was so close and a lot of tables turned. Thanks to him, I start using Takuma. Takuma is actually fun to use and to think I thought he wasn't too interesting to use. But I was wrong. KOF seriously gave me the most hype out of all years of EVO. K-O-F FOREVER!!!
I watched the stream and as an avid MvC fan, I can say the KoF finals were WAY more hype. To be honest, I'm not sure if I've enjoyed watching any series of matches as well as that finals in any game. Really recommend that people watch it.
It was all about KoF for me, me and my friends we were screaming from our houses it was so exciting and intense. Marvel was kind of boring for me, however (though, I am not an MvC3 fan.) I have to say, this year's EVO was the best, especially because of KoF, I had all but completely given up on KoF and this EVO has inspired me to start playing it again, you could tell that the players enjoyed this game and the crowd enjoyed watching it. I hope it returns next year, I'd love to see some runbacks
evo was amazing this year! that finals though, gah! i'm so glad i streamed it at home cause staying at the venue for that long was a test to all spectators as well. kof and umvc finals were nuts! can't wait to see what's in store for next year
DAMN all this HYPE is amazing, i cant WAIT for EVO 2013, especially with Killer Instinct Making an Appearance and that Smash Bros Melee is finally back
Great vid Max, but you shouldn't have limited it to only 5 moments! There were a couple other great moments too. Off the top of my head there was the point in the MK finals where one of the players went to the command list to find out how to do a Fatality which was hilarious, and of course in SC5 where Decopon won the entire tournament with "low tier" Tira.
i cant believe i was there! flew all the way from maui hawaii, to see evo 2012. first time to vegas too, never playing blackjack again hahaha. SEE YOU 2013 EVOLUTION!
Love that song with Quad City DJ's vs MvC3... Evo was amazing this year, the Bala v MadKOF was the highlight for me, but the UMvC3 tourney was definately the most hype. I dont like Champ, but I give him credit for winning with a non Phoenix team, Infrit played amazing so I feel sad for him.
Props to Max for putting the Marriage Proposal on here. It was more hype then Super SFIV Top 8 BTW, WHERE IS THE LEGENDS TOURNAMENT MAX!? That shit was AMAZING. As well as your panel and the Persona 4 Panel!
I never played KOF in my life, like once when I was 5, and I love UMvC3, I play it a lot and planning to go to tournaments later on, and I could tell koF was so hype when I was on stream. The chatbox was flooded with OMG BALA OvO! and stuff like that and I pushed my friend out of my window, I was hype more then ever and encouraged me to play KoF13. I was just waiting for Umvc3 to stream to get on too. God, this was a really strong and hype moment and really does top off Umvc3 this year.
I was only really interested in watching marvel, but i did catch the finals for KOF and SCV, KOF was insaaaaaaaneeeee hype and SCV had some amazing moments too, Infrit played absolutely great, sticking with his team and doing his thing, mad props to him :D
Dude evo was so awesome. This was my first time at evo and I got sad when it was over, haha It almost felt like something was missing in my life . There's such a cool atmosphere and everyone else is awesome. I'll definitely go every year now and participate :D some of my friends are even coming just to go to evo. That's how cool it was
i know man. he was actually the one person in the whole tournament i didnt want to see winning. but he won with legit skill, not using phonix at the end surprisingly and he deserves it. i wish ANYONE else had won, but he deserves it.
Saw EVO live. Most hype moments for me (in no particular order): - Combofiend vs F Champ top 8 - All the M.O.D.O.K.s - Infrit's air H rocket punch to go up 2-1 in GF (who uses that, lol) - Chris G's Doom getting hit by sphere flame on his way in. - KOF grand finals (made me want to pick up the game) - All the shit flying on the screen during Flocker vs Infrit top 8 - Ultimate Web Throw on incoming Strider Way more moments during top 32s as well, but can't remember em all.
Agreed, ST Tournament of Legends, IWBTG:G, then top 32 of SF4, then KOF, then top 8 marvel, then grand finals SC5, then top 8 SF4, then the rest of marvel. IMO that is the order of hype for me. The first day of SF4 was AMAZING.
Yes it was, even top 8 was intense and it all culminated in one of the best Grand Finals at this EVO and maybe some other EVOs, seeing that live was pretty intense, the energy and tension in that room was electric and people felt it on the stream and this isnt the opinion of KOF fans i've seen marvel fans saying the same
Great video. But I would put KOF finals at #1 though. Even though I don't follow it normally, I at least know that Bala has been been completely dominant in a lot of majors in KOF so far. And then these CafeId guys come out of nowhere, and I was really glued to my seat for most of the Top 8 matches. Especially the grand finals between Bala and Mad KOF. It was just too intense.The crowd, the situations in the game, everything. Even people who never played KOF had their hearts pounding like crazy.
KoF was intense I will agree with Max that it took the number two spot only because the hype for me really died down when I saw Mad KoF really take control. It was evident Bala was losing his cool and Mad KoF was in the drivers seat. Marvel though had me on the edge of my seat the entire time it was so intense. The drop combo's for me only made it better just to see how the other player would answer, It just proves that both these games are here to stay Long Live UMVC3 and KoF13.
Watching that KOF final live was one of the best things I've experienced
Jesus Fuck, those Kof grand finals are still the hypest shit
When Bala pulled out Clark I actually yelled at the top of my lungs
That KOF 13 grand finals was indeed one of the hypest games I've ever watched.
The entire KOF13 tourney was insanely hype. No other Evo moments were as fun to watch. I'm going to play KOF now.
That KoFXIII tournament was amazing. It's too bad that Bala seemed to lose his cool near the end, but he was amazing and even though he didn't win, I still think he showed the world that he's one of the best players out there. I can't wait to see what the next Evo brings.

That said, so long as you registered for evo beforehand, you can just show up... just know that where you where placed in pools would be random.
I STILL wish Bala won ;_;. Come back later was such a glorious moment.
Let's admit it, the Trophy at 6:37 was very spot on
That also added the hype
Evo 2014, BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Grand Finals. Ohhhh, the Hype.
Personally, I felt 2012 was KOFXIII year. Those Koreans just came out of nowhere. And combined with Infiltration winning SF and another Korean that won Tekken? It was like Korea was on top of the FGC for a while after that EVO.
The editing on this video is really great Max. Also, I love Yipes so much. His lady squeals at 10:45 made my day.
man if no.2 switched with no.1 this list would be perfect
As someone who loves UMVC3 and has never played KOFXIII.... I think I agree with you.
The finals of UMVC seemed hype, but holy SHIT that KoF match was unlike anything I've seen at EVO before.
KOF XIII had the most hype EVO moments this year, that final match between Bala and Mad KoF was intense.
You know, I almost thought "When the hell did they add Megaman to UMVC3?" lol
7:58
I absolutely loved the "COME BACK LATER!" moment. :D KoF GF was the best match I have ever watched on stream hands down.
Nice top 5.
the most top in Evo 2012 is the proposal :D
Still watching this in 2015. I watched this EVO live from start to finish (online) when it aired and was never as amused or entertained by any other EVO events like i was this one, i will never forget it, man if only i was able to go in person
:( Amazing matches and commentating, seriously unforgettable EVO. Yipes though haha.
2:35 sour face lol, looks like he just swallowed a whole lemon
Max. Excellent editing on this video. Seriously, brought all the hype back. =)
HAHA I thought they wer playing the SLAM JAM at EVO
Really solid Top 5. Was my first EVO I ever watched and I absolutely LOVED it. Cannot wait for 2013.
My top 5 would've included Daigo v Gamerbee though.
I think it's litterlay ironic that a Mexican player USES Captain America xD
Well, Mexico technically is part of America. America is a continent, moron.
Them feelzzzz with the music in the background...
no mames ese es el bala? :O!
he totally is, wey.
Gotta give it up to all those who made EVO 2012 so awesome and for giving us some sweet fights we'll be looking back on until next year!
marvel sucks its boring just combos endless endless combos boring
CamTheKitty ah look the troll even liked his own post........laaaaameeeee
So hyped up!! best Evo ever!! and I watch through the whole finals! I wish there was an Evo everyday!!
This is great. Props on the work that went behind setting this up.
Nearly a year later and still hype. Good picks man.
Glad some highlights from the KOF 13 matches were included here!
KOF XIII gave me a near heart attack. Bala was so close and a lot of tables turned. Thanks to him, I start using Takuma. Takuma is actually fun to use and to think I thought he wasn't too interesting to use. But I was wrong. KOF seriously gave me the most hype out of all years of EVO. K-O-F FOREVER!!!
I remember watching KOF grand finals live. So good
I watched the stream and as an avid MvC fan, I can say the KoF finals were WAY more hype.
To be honest, I'm not sure if I've enjoyed watching any series of matches as well as that finals in any game. Really recommend that people watch it.
The whole KoF top 8 finals were great to watch, something I'll be forever proud I stayed up till 4am to see
It was all about KoF for me, me and my friends we were screaming from our houses it was so exciting and intense. Marvel was kind of boring for me, however (though, I am not an MvC3 fan.)
I have to say, this year's EVO was the best, especially because of KoF, I had all but completely given up on KoF and this EVO has inspired me to start playing it again, you could tell that the players enjoyed this game and the crowd enjoyed watching it. I hope it returns next year, I'd love to see some runbacks
@Miles923
Loving the music choices in this video.
Especially for the #1 Hype moment.
Keep up the good work, dood!
evo was amazing this year! that finals though, gah! i'm so glad i streamed it at home cause staying at the venue for that long was a test to all spectators as well. kof and umvc finals were nuts! can't wait to see what's in store for next year
bala made a comeback 3 on 1 in the finals thats was hype
this is awesome dude, i love your highlight vids
DAMN all this HYPE is amazing, i cant WAIT for EVO 2013, especially with Killer Instinct Making an Appearance and that Smash Bros Melee is finally back
That Bala comeback gives me the chills every time I watch it.
MAX YOU ARE SUCH A REPORTER TYPE PERSON! KUDOS BRO!
I hope there is incredible amounts of hype this year, like so much hype the audio filters on the streams break lol
#1 moment was fcking epic. You did a good job in putting that music, it was very fitting for an epic game.
Great vid Max, but you shouldn't have limited it to only 5 moments! There were a couple other great moments too. Off the top of my head there was the point in the MK finals where one of the players went to the command list to find out how to do a Fatality which was hilarious, and of course in SC5 where Decopon won the entire tournament with "low tier" Tira.
I didn't think you were going to do this, because it seemed as though every match on stream that weekend was the hypest matches ever
i cant believe i was there! flew all the way from maui hawaii, to see evo 2012. first time to vegas too, never playing blackjack again hahaha. SEE YOU 2013 EVOLUTION!
That ending....was freaking touching, holy god that guy picked and chooses right, and so did she.
Not sure why I went back for some of these old clips. But damn does it hit.
Max, the slam at the end made me cry tears of joy.
Love that song with Quad City DJ's vs MvC3...
Evo was amazing this year, the Bala v MadKOF was the highlight for me, but the UMvC3 tourney was definately the most hype. I dont like Champ, but I give him credit for winning with a non Phoenix team, Infrit played amazing so I feel sad for him.
I love Hellpockets commentary. Makes everything so hype.
GREAT VIDEO MAN!!! AWESOMEEEEEEE
Holy shit Max! Totally made this hype epic level!!!
Love the choices of music, especially the selection from Bayonetta and the Super Slam remix
Props to Max for putting the Marriage Proposal on here. It was more hype then Super SFIV Top 8
BTW, WHERE IS THE LEGENDS TOURNAMENT MAX!? That shit was AMAZING. As well as your panel and the Persona 4 Panel!
I never played KOF in my life, like once when I was 5, and I love UMvC3, I play it a lot and planning to go to tournaments later on, and I could tell koF was so hype when I was on stream. The chatbox was flooded with OMG BALA OvO! and stuff like that and I pushed my friend out of my window, I was hype more then ever and encouraged me to play KoF13. I was just waiting for Umvc3 to stream to get on too. God, this was a really strong and hype moment and really does top off Umvc3 this year.
even though i have yet to play any of those games i still love watching these videos
Nice upload dude.
"What an answer!"
Thanks for reading my mind :D Much love from a FGC member to another! No homo bromo.
EVO 2013 INCOMING!
"She said yes" was my favourite moment in the video.
theses moments are one of the many reasons I love video games
UMvC3 this year was nothing short of amazing. :D
This video was better than the 3 days of EVO.
That was an awesome video!
I am an ssf4 ae player, never played UMvC or KOF but KOF looks fun as hell. haha
love watching spider play. He shows that Spider-man is a legitimate threat in Marvel when so many people used to think he wasn't good.
I was only really interested in watching marvel, but i did catch the finals for KOF and SCV, KOF was insaaaaaaaneeeee hype and SCV had some amazing moments too, Infrit played absolutely great, sticking with his team and doing his thing, mad props to him :D
Dude evo was so awesome. This was my first time at evo and I got sad when it was over, haha It almost felt like something was missing in my life . There's such a cool atmosphere and everyone else is awesome. I'll definitely go every year now and participate :D some of my friends are even coming just to go to evo. That's how cool it was
Thanks.
Even fighting game tournaments give me lil emotional moment :')
That k.o.f . Finals was dramatic and emotional.
i know man. he was actually the one person in the whole tournament i didnt want to see winning. but he won with legit skill, not using phonix at the end surprisingly and he deserves it. i wish ANYONE else had won, but he deserves it.
Saw EVO live. Most hype moments for me (in no particular order):
- Combofiend vs F Champ top 8
- All the M.O.D.O.K.s
- Infrit's air H rocket punch to go up 2-1 in GF (who uses that, lol)
- Chris G's Doom getting hit by sphere flame on his way in.
- KOF grand finals (made me want to pick up the game)
- All the shit flying on the screen during Flocker vs Infrit top 8
- Ultimate Web Throw on incoming Strider
Way more moments during top 32s as well, but can't remember em all.
Loved those Spider man matches with mame spider. Beats seeing another Virgil/zero/spencer combo imo.
Yes! Bayonetta's "One of a Kind" is so fitting during epic moments. I blast that song on my MP3 player whenever I can!
I got to agree with you on that one, that final was awesome
Agreed, ST Tournament of Legends, IWBTG:G, then top 32 of SF4, then KOF, then top 8 marvel, then grand finals SC5, then top 8 SF4, then the rest of marvel. IMO that is the order of hype for me. The first day of SF4 was AMAZING.
Oohh!! :D
Consider me hype sir! :D I wanna see more of that Kyo and Terry like I see in those Garage Warrior vids!
Event hubs has the link to the 2013 hype moments and its just what everyone expected too
When he picked Clark and the commentator started doing Arnold-impressions... Priceless.
It's so Hyped I can't take it!!!
I`m having a hard time to decribe EVO 2012 so i`ll go with one word: Epic!
Amazing video sir.
nothing more better
That spider-man comeback was by far the best thing in the UMvC3 Tournament!
Yes it was, even top 8 was intense and it all culminated in one of the best Grand Finals at this EVO and maybe some other EVOs, seeing that live was pretty intense, the energy and tension in that room was electric and people felt it on the stream and this isnt the opinion of KOF fans i've seen marvel fans saying the same
1:09
Clockwork looking like he's stealing the dude's phone.
Gets me every time.
Great video. But I would put KOF finals at #1 though. Even though I don't follow it normally, I at least know that Bala has been been completely dominant in a lot of majors in KOF so far. And then these CafeId guys come out of nowhere, and I was really glued to my seat for most of the Top 8 matches. Especially the grand finals between Bala and Mad KOF. It was just too intense.The crowd, the situations in the game, everything. Even people who never played KOF had their hearts pounding like crazy.
Just watched spiderman and the start of this video just felt more special to me :) damn the sick overhead!
Hey DJ, turn it up... MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BURN IT UP.
I LOVE SPACEJAM
KOF commentator was best, really regret not watching it XD Was hoping Max would keep "COME BACK LATER!" in the montage though, best hype
Tears of Joy....
I love the epic music
KoF was intense I will agree with Max that it took the number two spot only because the hype for me really died down when I saw Mad KoF really take control. It was evident Bala was losing his cool and Mad KoF was in the drivers seat. Marvel though had me on the edge of my seat the entire time it was so intense. The drop combo's for me only made it better just to see how the other player would answer, It just proves that both these games are here to stay Long Live UMVC3 and KoF13.
hah, that's what I called MODOK-Frutsy in the stream! Great minds, I say. Also props to KOF commentators getting hype for the event.
freaking instant raging demons xD also spidey was awesome to say the least really hype :D
Same reason he wears the headphones while he plays. Just helps him focus/tone out all the lights and crowd.
