My computer does far worse performance_wise with Livestreamer than it does with the flash player, so ymmv.

Still pleasantly surprised that BlazBlue's Top 8 was so exciting. I usually wouldn't give it the time of day!
Also shoutouts to Livestreamer (awesome) and the "Mindblown" twitch emote (which made me almost wish I paid to subscribe this year).

Got my EVO shirt on still repping EVO. I love how far and how much acknowledgement gamers/players/athletes have received from events like EVO and the like. Hard work pays off and things like EVO prove it. East Coast playa right hurrrr lol about as far east as one can get actually not counting the hamptons. I'll be physically at EVO one year. ONE YEAR. lol
Next time someone says you're wasting your time playing these games, honestly respond with a check if you've received one. And say "See this, IT'S THE TRUTH LOL" Work boots? See this controller?

I have livestreamer installed and the latest vlc, i will have to test it again tonight but i've only managed to get it streaming once.
Yes, I'm French and he was IMHO the best FR and one of the best EU. He dedicated so much time in this game with Rose, it's a big f#ck to the 'whore tier' player. And he shines despite the fact Madcatz drop the sponsoring thing, he achieved his journey like boss since he started moving in Sweden (Dreamhack), Canada (Cup) and 'Murica (CEO and EVO).
Didn't see Finals yet but I'm already hype. Prodigal Son win the first Ultra tourney and right now Louffy takes the title of World Warrior, EU at his best.
Not sure of peak overall but I know Marvel hit 145k

CDjr reaction man......
Luffy with his Rose. So clutch, so cool, ice water in his veins.
And Justin's, how he steamrolled chrisg. Man, love EVO.

Oh Evo, on one hand I want to grind out to be worthy of getting out of pools then I see the high level play and realize it's just a delusion.

I've never been to a hotel with good elevators. I remember the Hampton Inn I worked it, seemed like I could have raced upstairs and back down again by the time that shit came down 2-3 floors.

Ass-tier all weekend, even at 5am

With that kind of attitude, yea, there's no way you'll make it out of pools.

Do you have expertise in anything?
It's not. The grind to become consistent is just a bore though.

This is the first time he's made it to grand finals, though. And unlike last year, he didn't defeat himself. I think he'll win an Evo title if he keeps at it.

Add "/hls" at the end of a Twitch stream url to to watch in HTML5 instead of Flash.

Just youtube EVO2014 you'll probably find it. That's how I watched the SSBM EVO2014 Finals.

OK Fuck this hotel and its shitty elevators and limited late night food options. The convention ballroom is S-tier though.　I'm glad it was able to meet the needs of the event well. Awesome venue, shitty hotel. Can't have it all, I guess.
Just checked into The Wynn for the rest of the Vegas stay. Muuuuuuuch better.

Exactly why I have not gone.
Games I do decent in never get to evo (Yeah DOA makes the most blah blah)
That is my main issue, game sometimes pisses me off too much to return consistently.
My main things is the 3 step process that keels me over.
#1 execution, If you can't get this one down you will never progress. You can't think up a game plan when your main effort is on putting down your combos. This is the most laborius and the bane of most fighting games exploding at the rate people want them to. (Not that they should)
#2 Footsies and patience, worst thing these games have against me is the economy of button presses, you win with the least buttons possible (Unless you are Sako holy fuck that 20 hit combo) I don't have the patience sometimes to get that down and some match ups just straight up pisses me off and removes my patience.
#3 Lack of good practice partners. Online I get kicked after 2 matches, my locals is sub par (Don't come to me about NYC being a good scene, it's only good if you are in a clique and only good in NYC)
These are mah issues. Maybe I can get past 1 and 2 3 is irrelevant compared to the others right now.

Lol never stay at LVH. I'm still at the Bellagio with a friend. Our whole stay was on a promotion from them so 6 nights for free. Not bad!
For 1, pick the simplest character in the game. Luffy just one with one of the simplest SF characters and outside of Storm, J Wong's team is rather simple as well. Players spend a lot of time on characters that aren't suited for their strengths.Exactly why I have not gone.

For 2 it's just a mindset. It took forever for me to learn to not always try to rush down. I still do it sometimes.

The pizza hut at the LVH was a bill of goods.

We just ordered delivery from that pizza place that put fliers all around. It was like 20 bucks for a large pizza and 6 big chicken tenders.
Man, that hotel was rough. Elevators were slow and super hot. The rooms were crappy especially the bathrooms. BUT it did suit my needs. It was fine for my friends and I to crash and play SF (we got the hotel TV to work ;-) ). Plus, its super convenient to be able to run back up to the room to drop stuff off, nap, etc.
Any of the hotels on the monorail were a 10 minute ride away from LVH. Harrah's was OK
The sports deli was amazing. Huge portions and decent prices.

Completely godlike. I would've ordered again if their phone was working Sunday.
basically why i muted the stream I predicted exactly what was going to happen.
-Ono comes out speaks broken english hard to understand.
-Says "Something is Coming"
-Do a Shoryuken group picture.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the Shoryuken group pictures but seeing people make these wild guesses to what he was going to announce i knew people were going to be pissed.
