Please add Santarouman and Gachi-kun to the list? They're pretty high level SF players :).

dat simple mode

No infiltration !? Very surprised

Chris G definitely deserves a mention.

Great, time for me to crack open a can of soda and popcorn !

@DevilMaySpy

ChrisG definitely would deserve to be mentioned, but I don't see him in any brackets or announcements, so I don't think he's there. If you can show me otherwise though, I'll add him into the story.

No english commentary?

Do these people not realize 90% of their audience is English speaking? They know how to speak English....oh well, these players are awful so far.

WHITE TOWER PRESENTS: *Daigo shows up*

those are all my favourite names in this business =D

for those that wants to join the stream chat, here's the link of the embedded twitch channel

Hey guys I missed the stream today who played and what happened? Did they start the 3v3 tourny?

@8 Weltall
Why the F should they accommodate to you on their own stream speaking their own language?
Are you that retarded and can't tell what's going on on screen without commentary?
Might as well quit the game if that's the case and learn to be a little bit less self centered.

It is OK because they accommodated quickly :)

Kuwait still blows.

Seriously Eventhubs you couldn't have highlighted this? I know it's a matter of reading but there is so many news on this site that you might overlook a thing or two. I think current tournaments and events should be at the top of the page constantly.

I almost missed out on this and I did nothing the whole day, FÙCK YOU

is there any AE?

*Reads #16 post..*
*scrolls up and look at top stories and sees "• K.O. Fighting Game Festival live stream, featuring Daigo, Mago, Tokido, ..."*
*Facepalms*
People don't even try to look anymore.

Special guest - Daigo Umehara
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BElB3_...

He will team up with Tokido and Mago

soo many killer sagats lol

fcukin put sagat umvc3 already.

I don't know why would anyone complain about the commentary. they had Arabic, English and Japanese commentary so far. its the best they can do apart from running multiple streams. This is their first major event so cut them some slack.

LOL! That japanese comentator is too funny

UURRRGGHHHHHH #8 never post again You ignorance is so cringe worthy :/

@catalyst: Daigo/Tokido/Mago are also a team and are now in semi-finals winners bracket. Actually only Mago has played so far.

Sorry, miscommunication. Chris G is on a business trip.

I'm confused. The schedule on the news doesn't make sense:

Thursday at 5 p.m. UTC / 6 a.m. PST
Friday at 4 p.m. UTC / 5 a.m. PST
Saturday at 4 p.m. UTC / 5 a.m. PST

UTC, which is the same as GMT, is 8 hours ahead of PST (PST = GMT-8). The math in this schedule doesn't add up. What's the actual schedule?

why aren't you updating the story with results? here is AE bracket http://challonge.com/KOFGF_AE

http://challonge.com/KOFGF_MARVEL

Just for information

I know some of these characters:

KichijojiKEN (Ken), Akimo (E. Honda), Rariken (Sagat)

Okkun (Ibuki), Shin (Juri), Gachikun (Sagat)

Gannoon (Sakura), Aziz, Dookey (Ken)

Beh, Ma3an, Fawaz (Fei Long)

Also DM|Xiam OCV'd the Japanese Team

I missed the event, is there an archive anywhere?

nvm read one of the comments and got it.

daigo doesn't get to play. Why go to this tournament. lol

When do they play AE finals(what time)?

@31

-R- was beating by Ryan Hart, and Xian beat both Santarou and Nishikin (close one), i don't call that an OCV.

Daigo is killing Habibi in casuals for AE

As much as I like watching teams for AE, I'm quite surprised that there isn't a singles tournament. Teams are normally on the side and for pride of your team/area, while imo singles are for determining who is the best (ie the main idea of a tournament)

whens capcommmm

good tournament to watch

if anyone is curious, a friend once told me that habibi means "my love" lol.

Justin went to this tournament because he knew Chris G would not show. All those tournament of not making top 5 must be hurting his feeling.

"Beloved" would be the preferred translation, at least in this context. Caveat: Arabic is my fourth language so it's obviously very weak.

Okkun's Ibuki is too stronk.

USA wins Marvel, no surprises there.

Seems Kuwait is much better at Tekken.

Why are they commentating in Japanese now? Bring it back to English! It's in Kuwait after all, and there are a lot of English speaking viewers watching this! Take that Japanese guy off the mic and let Zhi and one of the Kuwait guys to commentate.

KichijojiKen, i didn't know that there was a Ken better than MickelTans one.

KichijojiKen had the dirtiest unblockable set up, it was gorgeous.

holy f*ck daigo batman.

Daigo, the "BEAST" Umehara! FEARLESS!

Shoutouts to Justin for throwing the entire tournament with a missed ultra input

Justin Wong...that was bad. Good job on Top 5, I guess.

@50 To be fair, Xian got giggle stomped by the Sakura.

Too many Habibis.

Ken top tier, kishijoji with that godly setup

Damn KichijojiKEN! I've always thought his Ken was the best after seeing those uploads from 0ShinAkuma0 back in the Super days. Better than Michael Tan, Bon/Playerjun52, or Momochi's Ken.

OCVs... OCVs everywhere.

I wanted to see more Daigo though (BibleThump)

Mago put up an amazing performance. Akimo played very well also. great tourney to watch. a lot of high level play.

As usual, Mago putting the work for Team MCZ. He's the ultimate point player in team tournament.

Before anyone says he finally won something, think again.

mago owns

did daigo even play a single game in teams?

Stupid question, team MCZ was in loser, so guess....

daigo played two games.

I'm shocked no one mentioned the Tekken Grand finals that was probably the most hype match of this whole event. Sayid Hashim was putting on a show from making Tokido and Ryan Heart look so free Running it back against BMNS-13. hopefully we get to see more from this guy.

ryan hart speaks fluent japanese? °o°

the event was fun as hell, not the best stream quality but sure i had fun with the hype and the almost unbeareable amounts of habibi

Habibi should become a FGC meme.
Okkun and that Japanese Ken player were amazing to watch. Aziz did well for Kuwait too.
Too bad Daigo didnt get to play a lot. Kuwait was hype, good tournament

Stream looked smooth and stable, better than a lot of streams from American majors. I think the Kuwait venue had good internet connection. I saw zero lag or delayed audio.

Tourney was great to watch, even Tekken was enjoyable with good matches. Commentators were top notch. Hype and knowledgeable. Where did the commentators get all that experience lol

AE was of course superb, too bad the twitch chat server sucked and we couldn't chat during the many hype moments

also wanted to add that eventhubs did a great job promoting this Kuwait event. A lot of times there are great tourneys in other countries that people miss cuz of last minute article about them, but eventhubs mentionned this tourney over a week in advance with a lot of reminders, so there were over 12 000 people watching this tourney at one point

Amazing tournament!!

Tekken tournament was awesome Shout outs to SA and Kuwait

AE and Tekken was so HYPE , and habibi sometimes used for friends and bros

That event was great, next time add some players from Korea and Japan for Tekken and more USA players for UMVC3, that would be perfect.

Team GachiShinOkkun beats Team Mad Catz 3-2.
• GachiKun (Sagat) loses to MCZ|Tokido (Akuma).
• Shin (Juri) loses to MCZ|Tokido (Akuma).
• Okkun (Ibuki) beat MCZ|Tokido (Akuma).
• Okkun (Ibuki) beat MCZ|Mago (Fei Long).
• Okkun (Ibuki) beat MCZ|Daigo (Ryu).

Here is the link for those matches:

always liked Kichi's Ken but people need to chill out with the "this guy is better than that guy" talk after one performance.. The truth is we probably may never know the answer to that.
