EVO Update: Top 8

Quit complaining about Leixia, it's annoying. She's just fine and no I will not argue with you, it's not like I could change your opinion anyways. You guys are like trying to convince a catholic that their religion isn't the only way to do things.

I never said Leixia is bad. I just said she was in no way comparable to Tira. I think Leixia is low tier but she still has a lot of tools and pretty good frame data. Her damage makes some matchups really hard, sorry but that is the truth. She is better than most make her out to be though.

Maybe stop putting words in my mouth?

Oh get over it. People piss and moan all the time on this site. If you find it annoying, why are you here?

Besides, it's not like you're right. Nearly every Leixia player did drop her for a reason.

Guess what. We did find it annoying. So people who aren't retards tend not to post anymore. Well done?

A couple things we learned at EVO

1. There are many great players from all parts of the world.
2. This game is very balanced.
3. If your name is Shen your prolly pretty fucking good at SC.

Thanks too everyone who had anything to do with making EVO possible!

Seriously, this is fucking annoying. If your perception of your main being weak bothers you so much that you can't help posting about it in a forum 8 times a day, maybe switch main or quit the fucking game ?

That being said, that was the first EVO I watched and was really impressed. The game certainly is very interesting to watch and Project Soul's vision with this game and their decisions have become clearer in my mind in light of this tournament. Decopon, ShenChan, ShenYuan, Keev and Woahhzzz were definitely entertaining to watch. I finally understand that these player rely on their instincts as much as their matchup knowledge. I saw unsafe moves get unpunished, highs in strings not being crouched and combos being dropped, and this made me appreciate the human element much more. It is much more about getting in your opponent's mind and intimidating him/her than playing a flow chart based on the wiki's frame data and I got to appreciate that a lot.

A big thanks to Project Soul, Namco Bandai, EVO staff, the stream providers and especially the players for entertaining our asses :)
