Amazing! Something about KoF....when you see skilled players play, it doesn't look like spamfests like a lot of other competitive games do. Not demeaning the skill involved in other games, it's just that many of them reward precise timing of repeat techniques. KoF is so very deep and varied, man. Makes for great watching.
I know this is 10 years later so sorry about the late comment I'm just rewashing this after getting XIIIUM but SF does tend to have more varied character diversity. Here most teams were Mr.Karate, EX Iori Duo Lon, Ryo, Kim Though SF does see a lot of Akuma, Ryu, Sgat etc but tiers matter more in KOF i feel
Caught this live the night it happened; it was the first Evo I'd seen, the first Evo stream I'd watched, and the first time I'd seen KOF; started playing the next week. Such a legendary final!!
easily the best tourney at EVO that year! EVO 2012 and 2013 is what brought me back into fighting games! ( that, and maximillian and french commentator ken bogard!)
yeah they do, when they did scr last year too. hellpockets and metaphysics. not annoying and manage to flow the hype. next tournament, they should be commentators too
maaaan kof13 is such a hype game! I bought the game a few months after release and I love it! The game is extremely difficult though, not because of the really high execution combos, but the amount of options you have with your meter and other sources. It's really hard to confirm a very long combo when you're in a lot of pressure, and then having to decide what is the most optimal combo. After that, see if you can actually get the combo done. Very clean game IMO, huge respect.
1.) That controller Mad KOF is using is total badassery 2.) Great fights just makes me want to play KOF more and more 3.) More people need to start playing KOF.
Not only Korea, Japan or Mexico, here in Argentina are too many boys and girls playing KOF right now, and every day and every night, i know, the kof saga is playing all around the world, but in many latin america countries are some of the best players, and never are invited to the tournaments like evo
Because BALA and other arcade players are used to listening to buttons and catching a glimpse of button presses in the corner of their eyes. It's the game outside the game and a whole different level of mindgames.
Estuvieron buenas las pelas al final no cabe duda que el mexicano sintió toda la presión de la final ,por otro lado que orgullosos se deben sentir a ver llegado a la final felicitaciones mexicacones desde PERU.
I just realized Mr Wizard said the KOFXIII Top 8 took 3 hours and 45 minutes and set a record for longest Top 8...which is funny since it's actually under 3 hours and UMVC3's Top 8 was actually a couple of minute longer, lol.
haven't been much into KOF but after i saw this i complitly changed my mind about i got KOFXIII now for my playstation now and its the only think i have been playing
Aconpanhei quase todo as lutas do Bala até chegar ao EVO,,o Duolon e o Chin são personagens que ele não enfrenta com frequencia então fico foda ele achar uma brexa para vencer....
It's best two out-of-three. Also, people are sent to the losers bracket, where they get a chance to play in the grand final, but at a disadvantage, as they must win twice.
So true! most of them are unbelievably good. like Bala x 2 its insane! but unfortunately they don't have the luxury of traveling or the means to enter these competition because 1- funding 2- lack of knowledge that these types of tournaments exsist and 3- transport
Nosotros los mexicanos talvez no sepamos los mejores pero siempre estamos dando competencia......Me sorprendió que no fuera japonés, es que ellos son tan poderosos
THIS WAS SO HYPE!!! SFxT and Street Fighter were disappointing and MVC3 was ok (mainly because of the results) I can see great things coming for this game.
I do not keep track of KOF anymore. But at least in early 2000 series, Mad and his buddies used to school top Japanese players - those games were not even close. As for Mexican players being too good, I do not believe it until I see it. That is exactly what US players used to say at Tekken until a Korean guy came to his first Evo (first Tekken Tag) and destroyed everyone. He was not even the best player in Korea either. So I do not believe it until I see it - no offense.
Yo, 2012 was definitely KOF's year. The hype was too real.

It's a shame that we never saw Terry Bogard :'(
It's all about the money 💰
Caught this live the night it happened; it was the first Evo I'd seen, the first Evo stream I'd watched, and the first time I'd seen KOF; started playing the next week. Such a legendary final!!
2021 still watching!
One of the best years for kof
easily the best tourney at EVO that year! EVO 2012 and 2013 is what brought me back into fighting games! ( that, and maximillian and french commentator ken bogard!)

Yes, it's better than finding bits and pieces in 6 different channels. IronMonk did the full top 8's last year but this year it's in HD! Thanks.
This was the best of Evo, I hope so much that Bala and Mad KOF are back this year

watching all of these Cafe ID guys in the top 8 reminds me of watching Karate Kid with all of the Cobra Kai guys in it... holy freaking flashback
That Audio change, thank you! 21:32
KoFXIII ws the hypest thing at Evo last year. Hope it's just as good this year.
1.) That controller Mad KOF is using is total badassery
2.) Great fights just makes me want to play KOF more and more
3.) More people need to start playing KOF.
all tops 8s are now up so enjoy
absolutely love this game it needs to come on next gen consoles. best evo for kof 13
these top 8's were so hype when they were live. definitely going to watch them again
Not only Korea, Japan or Mexico, here in Argentina are too many boys and girls playing KOF right now, and every day and every night, i know, the kof saga is playing all around the world, but in many latin america countries are some of the best players, and never are invited to the tournaments like evo
I like how the sound on this is either all bass or all treble xD Glad to see the matches, though, no matter what. Thanks!
Grand Finals at 1:57:10
KOF XIII is like the game of EVO2012, l can't wait to see how crazy KOF is going to be at next years event.
This is the second time i watch the whole 2 hours and 45 minutes video in just one week! i just love #KingOfFighters
thanks very much for the upload , audio wasnt that bad , main problem for me was the unreadable names , fortunately i recognized some faces ^^
I dont know the ends and outs of the KOF series but I love watching the matches its just so different and a little more lively than SF matches.
This is the best Grand Final of EVO2012.I'm not familiar with KOF but it was so exited to watch it.
Because BALA and other arcade players are used to listening to buttons and catching a glimpse of button presses in the corner of their eyes. It's the game outside the game and a whole different level of mindgames.
I'm still trying to order this game and it's August 2017, that's saying something about the nature of fighters out to day...
???
I didn't know about this game. This is way better than street fighter, they need to advertise this game more.
Estuvieron buenas las pelas al final no cabe duda que el mexicano sintió toda la presión de la final ,por otro lado que orgullosos se deben sentir a ver llegado a la final felicitaciones mexicacones desde PERU.
sorry about that must have been when I uploaded it onto youtube I hear it to
Finally KOF top 8 in good quality. Thank you! :)
man, I wish it was like that here, I went online on the PSN and it was dead :(
This is really really good. I like it
I just want to see some shots of players' hands while playing :D.
thank you for posting this
Its Interessting to me that No Pro Plays Ash, Mature, or Hwo in 2013
The all Play Ex Kyo Ex Iori, Duon Lon, Takuma, Mr. Karate, Chin
i know right i came to learn but i cant find mature or vice
Watching this all the way through has made me want to pick up KoF. Shit looks so hype.
why are the names of the players cut off during the matchers? :( it's hard for me to follow who's playing at the moment
No idea every other top 8 finals that I posted rendered fine for some reason KOF went weird
It sucks that the only vid of these is in this quality, but hype matches
November 2011, and yes
Did the jump down-C at the end of the round around 1:10:00 cross up the wakeup? Or is that not in the game? Because that shit looked crazy.
KoF was the HYPEST this year
3:00 Talk about "desperation move".
I just realized Mr Wizard said the KOFXIII Top 8 took 3 hours and 45 minutes and set a record for longest Top 8...which is funny since it's actually under 3 hours and UMVC3's Top 8 was actually a couple of minute longer, lol.
Well he is the underdog, he went straight from losers to winning the title, that's what makes a kick ass EVO grand final.
haven't been much into KOF but after i saw this i complitly changed my mind about i got KOFXIII now for my playstation now and its the only think i have been playing
Does anybody know if there will come a new king of fighters for the xbox one and ps4????
thats probably the best/most clever comeback ive ever seen in my life
Aconpanhei quase todo as lutas do Bala até chegar ao EVO,,o Duolon e o Chin são personagens que ele não enfrenta com frequencia então fico foda ele achar uma brexa para vencer....
Ey thanks now it makes sense, did you enjoy the final?
It's best two out-of-three. Also, people are sent to the losers bracket, where they get a chance to play in the grand final, but at a disadvantage, as they must win twice.
The scary thing is that madkof still dropped quite a few combos. Imagine how good he'll be next year once he has even more practice.
JC this gameplay is amazing
They're so amazing in my opinion. What made you stop?
evo is the hypest fighting tournament their is i love the commentstors they dont piss me off
Man I gotta back into fighting games again.
That come back later trophy came at the perfect time
47:26 BALA 1:36:57 BALA 2:03:36 BALA de Nada prros
in the final, who gets to 5th win wins the competition??
this game is pure beauty !!!
What were they chanting?
They were basically saying may the best man win
This was pretty dope
Can anyone explain to me why some guys loose and get to play another round?
bala best comback i ever seen in kof
so kyo dosent have his lunging hook combo no more?
when they say "culero" and "puto" refers to korean boy.
Well done KOF, hype at its finest
whats the crowd chanting? the spanish word?
2:16:23
CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK! CLARK!
Best part of the whole thing
I still dont think there has ever been a better looking fighting game
I'd only played the trial of KoF13 prior to watching this... I MUST HAVE IT NAOW!
that TAKUMA guy is awesome. OSU !
What are the commentators names?
eres el mejor amigo todo los jugadores de mexico te apoyamos amigo saludos
dude this was epic!....good job to everyone
fucking lost it when Reynald does the "read-his-mind" motion what a baller
So true! most of them are unbelievably good. like Bala x 2 its insane! but unfortunately they don't have the luxury of traveling or the means to enter these competition because 1- funding 2- lack of knowledge that these types of tournaments exsist and 3- transport
Takuma y mr karate no son lo mismo?
2:39:29 Fabiana Karla?
Did you event think before you typed that comment?
Why does MadKof puts that yellow shirt in between??
@BR3WCI7YB4NG4 I was talking about the commentators for kof xiii in this evo
creeme que en situaciones de alta precion se juega muy diferente, aveces la tension te gana.
puedo preguntar para que agarro a SHEN?
KIM HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE MOST SELECTED PLAYER HES THE BEST
20:04 YOU MAD SMALL SON ???
does this game have any broken characters
ya se me hacia conocida esa forma tan mexicana de jugar jajaja que chingon
good times.
Nosotros los mexicanos talvez no sepamos los mejores pero siempre estamos dando competencia......Me sorprendió que no fuera japonés, es que ellos son tan poderosos
Es por que no has estado en Japon(tal vez), igual esto se aplica a aquellos que no han visitado los arcades de Mexico.
Duolon do quarteto fantástico,,,rsrsrs...ele ganhou o campeonato!!!!
thanks alot dude
buen juego bala a mejorar te lo escribo en español porque soy de tijuana aunque tambien sepa ingles
Where is bala now?
Playing KOF 15. Look up his matches on TH-cam
well this is original kyo's moves EX kyo has the hooks combo
Good matches
THIS WAS SO HYPE!!! SFxT and Street Fighter were disappointing and MVC3 was ok (mainly because of the results) I can see great things coming for this game.

kof has more fan base in asia but mexico is up there too
