well hey i am a big kof fan but the op was asking specifically about an event that gootecks organized
I’d say make sure KOFXII deserves hype before trying to do stuff like this.
Troll attempt would have been far less obvious if it didn’t mention Gootecks in the first post.
and what makes sf4 deserve more hype then kofxii?
King of Fiestas imo :party:
The fact that it actually matters as a franchise?
game needs a fucking dedicated scene first…
SF4 deserves every bit of hype it gets. If KOFXII is as good, and I hope it is- then it will deserve it.
That said, the game is coming out to questionable reviews and without a ton of play in Japan in comparison to SF4 when it came out here.
Honestly, I could see a hardcore scene developing for this game, but maybe not as much of a casual scene.
Games don’t earn hype, the community earns it. SF4 didn’t organize all the tournaments around it, people did.
True enough. However, for a series to get hype, the game has to be good to attract people to it.
KOFXII won’t have the storyline crap to get casuals, so it’s going to have to rely on its gameplay.
Many KOFs aren’t that great on the gameplay. (and I say this as a fan of the good games of the series)
I think it’s name recognition more than anything in the states. I don’t mean to deride the efforts of the KoF enthusiasts and promoters in the states, but I can’t recall any time when the KoF scene was >5% of the SF scene here. In mexico it could work.
Not really. It’s a good game, but it’s not so good that it should be the only game getting serious play stateside, which it pretty much is.
Cause who really cares about KOFXII?
I really hope KOF12 takes off like SF4 has. I know it wont match SF4 but at least a dedicated community willing to run tournaments and casual gatherings. It kinda sucks that SF4 is the only game taken serious in the tournament scene here in the states. There’s only so much you can take from one game before people get tired of it.
I do!
Cause it plays similar to SF2, has flashy 3D graphics/Ultra animations and casual/non gamers may want to pick it up because they’ve played SF2 in an arcade/SNES/etc. KOFXII bar fights would go over a lot better in another country. KOF’s got a big scene… just not in America :\
Personally I’ll be hyping the shit out of this game and trying to get local competition/tournaments.
kof xii bar fights would be like 3 dudes sitting in their backyard pounding down caronas while passing around an old roach they found under the couch, and talking about how they wish they could afford an xbox 360 but the… ok i better not go too far lol
Now I want to know the rest of the story…
Well talking from experience, (Im a bouncer on the weekends) Mexican cant seem to control themselves after being intoxicated with alcohol. A bar fight will ensue and the ones that dont fight never wanna fucking leave at the end of the night. Its like pulling fucking teeth to get them out.
those people must be the ones who actually never drink
