KOF Europe @ EVO
Update: Our current No.1 donator is om3g4prism, having donated £80/$130! 2nd is Abdullah Al-Jodi and SonicTempest! These, ladies and gents, are real fans, real pillars of the KOF community. This is the kind of spirit we need to show SNKP. Now who can top that donation?
Update: Accomodation has been guaranteed by both the LA and Mexico teams! Just finalising tournament date for Paris now.
We must send a European player to represent and play KOF at Evolution 2011. Plain and simple. KOF (no matter which title) needs to get hype at EVO. The players who don’t even have the game still understand that KOF must have maximum exposure at any tournament, and EVO is arguably the biggest right now. America is an important market for SNKP, and the more attention KOF gets, with more hype and potential revenue, the better the chance of development of XIII, DLC and future titles for the rest of us. We must support SNKP now, support KOF and send a European player to EVO to show that we have a devoted and serious community.
This can all be done easily if we all pitch in together. Click the donation button. Donate any amount you want! Even £1 is appreciated! Your name will go up here on the donators list. If you’re reading this on Facebook or the Mailing List, please visit the main site (https://orochinagi.com) to find the donation widget on the right hand side of the page.
The current plan is to hold a tournament in Paris and send the winner to EVO. If we can really get some money together, we’ll take the winner of EVO to SVB. The winner will be wearing a T-shirt for major donators/sponsors. If you have a website or company that you would like our winner to represent get in touch or leave a comment and you will be contacted asap.
Thank you for even reading this far. With your help we will bring the glory days back to KOF! Bring KOF to EVO!

About Oyaji
We are in talks with e-Live, but they are not exactly KOF freaks, we’ll have to see.
Can’t people like Frionel be sponsored by e-live? There is a possibility (if e-live helps) that we can send more than 1.
KOF XIII IS FINNALY HERE …WELL ALMOST

Gunsmith, what do you think? Frionel or Salim? or anyonelse? Are you going to participate?
About console port… Well, it’s coming. SpekSNK has some kind of source. Is not a proven source, so we have to wait like everyone to see if it’s true, but looks like console version official announcement is coming.
I understand the feeling of hopelessness, however, nothing was achieved by sitting back and doing nothing.
@Musolini We are trying to organise a tournament in Paris, the winner gets the plane ticket… TBC
Nothing big, but I did my part.
I think it will help a lot if we do a side event at EVO with any KOF title with international competition in this case and SNKP notices I’m sure they will take the KOF community outside of Japan more seriously.
musolini@ I believe it’s more for a plane ticket than the tournament itself.
@Mystery G
kof13 differs greatly from old snk games in attraction to new players.
when is the tourney in paris, where in paris, and how much $$$ to enter the tourney?
Well since everyone is ganging up on kmd I will join him instead 😛 the way I see it, is that americans will never accpet KOF, Dark Geese ran side tournies for years at EVO along with other SNK fighters, in the end it went no where and he gave up and started doing his mexico thing.
I see this being no different tbh, I do not hold it against anyone trying though, but like kmd says you have to be realistic.
We are not asking SNK for much, just the GAME! without that, theirs nothing you can do, really it should be released right now.
Instead it looks like SNK are going to sit on their bums, and by the next EVO, Tekken x SF, SF X Tekken, Tekken Tag2, Soul Cali5, most certainly another Blazblue game will all be out, not to mention the stuff thats already out like Marvel n MK, those games right there will crush any little hype KOF13 still has, by then I bet all SNK would have done is port KOF97 to PSN lol yay!
I wish SNK would just outright say they are done making games or not, instead of all of us waiting and repeating the same questions in 2012, “where is KOF13?”
I said before I think SNK is done with games, and are releasing their old ass titles on PSN to get money for KOF13port, I dont know any gaming company that doesnt announce any new games for a whole year,if you ask me, that should be a sign to us all.
To be fair KOF has been going since 1994 to 2010, that is no disgrace, SF took a 10 year break while KOF carried on till now, thats quite amazing really, but in the end, nothing last forever.
All the best to those who goto to EVO.
I don’t blame anyone…but i won’t be delusional about things because i grown tired about all the rumors and suppositions we had for a year and playmore saying nothing.Only way to promote this game is by having a console port or at least a release date soon – period.And please tell how can i support playmore besides buying their shitty ports for the 10th time?
There are two kinds of attitudes from KOF fans. One is try to help the game supporting SNKP, the other one is do nothing, blame SNKP and require they work good and fast. I think first attitude is more profitable for us than second one.
I only can applaud people who worked to have XIII in EVO as side tournament, try to send an european champion and enjoy the vids that will come later, while I wait for console version.
I am a very optimistic person … just a bit pissed of because XIII is taking forever to port.But on a serious note people are there for the games they play and they know.Maybe KOF will catch some attention but the hype is somewhere else.Playmore is once again late at the party unfortunately
C’mon, kmd, us KOF players like optimism! You’d be surprised at just how many people pay attention to EVO. Among those people are those who say “yeah, these games are fun, but I want something FASTER!” Boom, KOF.
The only thing that might boost anything is having a console port.
@KMD: having it at EVO is not a waste of time. if anything, it’ll only help boost our community
No one cares because few people have access to the game.And it’s nothing new..everybody (that cares) has seen footage on youtube and knows how high level play is… the only problem as i said – there is no console port and that’s frustrating.Good luck – but it’s a waste of time and in this case money ..tho i understand your enthusiasm – try to keep it real.
KOF needs to stay in the spotlight. Who wants to play a game that nobody has heard of? EVO is an important place to showcase other fighting games.
All the KOF fans will buy XIII, that’s a given, but we need more fans, more sales, if we don’t want XIII to be the last. We have to promote KOF.
If ppl see that players travel from all over the world to play at EVO, that means it’s a good game. Ppl buy good games by word of mouth. The word that KOF is worth buying needs to start at EVO.
why spend so much money to go at a side tourney?
Update: we have been offered accomodation from both the LA players and Team Mexico (headed by Neonfox). We are going to have KOF at EVO (2002 or XIII TBC) as a side tournament minimum. WE CAN DO THIS! Ps. Thx DV, still waiting for that CX banner!
Okay, posted this at the main page of CX. Hope it helps.
Mr KOF vs our best European… who will win?
Sounds good. Pedigree:
Yurop has Salim – beat bata first to 10.
Then eLive|RF won stunfest + the other tournament some other guy won.
