SCV: Who To Watch For At EVO 2012

With Soulcalibur V having over 400 competitors at EVO 2012 distributed across twenty-six 16 man pools, it gets kind of crazy trying to keep track of everything, especially if you are new to the competitive side of Soulcalibur V or unfamiliar with who the players are.

I decided to compile a list of every pool for Soulcalibur V and list the players to look out for. Make sure you leave you predictions who to look out for and follow the brackets online as they are updated.

I'm counting on Shining Decopon from Japan to make it through. Let's go Tira

I second that! Tira FTW!

 

Wait! Lonshot is LongGrange? I didn't know that. No comment on that pool now.

Actually, just double checked with Partisan- it's not Long grange. wtf.

 

Just a heads up. I noticed someone mention a Tira from Japan above. I'd advise all Americans to train up on the Tira match as the last time I spoke to Tokido he said the best Japan SC player was a Tira. I'm not sure if the one mentioned here is him though.

 

Partisans got this!

THEM POOLS!

Lmao at grange going to EVO lulz...

But shit this is mad hype im so salty im not participating! Good luck everyone attending I will definitely be watching making mad side bets!

 

Wait, Rayikin entered?!?!?!?!?!

 

Pool D27:
Winner's: Enkindu
Loser's: I don't know Raphire, however, a name unnoticed "Rayakin" is present in this bracket. I think If Rayakin has been preppin' he may pull through.

Raphire got 2nd at the Singapore major, SEA. Really good Voldo, up and coming player, though inexperienced, according to the commentary.

Good luck to all my buddys.

 

interesting predictions... i have a feeling a lot of the japanese players are going to be under estimated, not just the Tira player.

Don't get me wrong, I believe everyone has a shot; those were just my predictions. I've always been underestimated at every tournament and I actually like that because it gives me something to prove.

 

A28 is mine. Freeeeeee

 

A28 is mine. Freeeeeee

You're like Nelson Mandela in 1990 - free.

 

Kayane will win her pool definitely <3

 

Unbelievable after winning two MLGs and the recent French tourney you guys are still doubting of Keev and put him in losers? hahaha keep on dreaming.

I take it if Keev doesn't win EVO, and someone else does, will you provide them free blowjobs, too?

Of course, Snort- just don't fuck it up again and lose to Tokido in mirrors.

 

Well, you won't beat him at least. =)

Probably not, I'll leave that to Hawkeye.
