Fighting Games Weekly | Jan 12-18 | DaiGOAT

Who else ever had near the popularity of Max (amongst FG-focused youtube/twitch people)?
does that dsp guy count? i've never watched any of his videos but his name is always tossed around. i have no idea how big his channel is.

lol! no.... he uploads some fighting game content usually him raging at online. he does not offer any positive content for the FGC
 
Markman would probably take care of TTT2 if it didn't make it in this year.

It got really low numbers last year too so I don't think you can really justify the slot aside from arguing you need a 3D fighter in the mix.

USF4
UMVC3
Melee
Smash 4
P4U2
Xrd
MKX

That would be my list. KI would be next if we got another spot. In reality, if we got two anime games, BBCPEX is gonna take the spot though but I'd prefer P4U2.
Isn't MS going to money hat KI in? Nintendo, on the other hand, doesn't give a damn about Melee.
 
both on sunday. anybody that doesn't like it can watch something else. if evo wants to present itself as the super bowl of the fgc then it should properly showcase the community's biggest games. sunday is the biggest day so both games deserve to be there if they get the numbers.
That's not how things have been going though, number of entrants isn't the sole factor in determining what spot the game get. Not to mention EVO have a responsibility to reach for/push other communities too.

Anyway, with NRS pushing for MK9, MS with KI, Sony/Capcom will want a spot for SFV stuff and then there's SFIV(and maybe UMvC3!), I doubt there'd be room for more than one Smash game one Sunday. Also, Nintendo will probably want SmashU to get more exposure than Melee.

My point was that others don't reach that level because they don't put in the time or effort. For example Mango has only been streaming for the past 6 months or so and has around 850 subs and 26K+ followers. I think it'd be kind of silly to suggest other players couldn't do the same or much better by streaming regularly and having decent production values. But for whatever reason, the FGC personalities that have had decent success when they started streaming just dropped it and their viewers jump to the next stream.
 
I don't think Marvel would be dropped even if it ended up devolving into nothing but Firebrand unblockable loops or timeout infinites.
 
Does evo really need umvc3 tho
Until ChrisG wins an EVO, yes UMVC3 should be at EVO.

It's not even a question whether the game should be at this year's EVO, the question should be asked about EVO 2016. If it's still drawing the viewers and players then it will get play at EVO ... period.

I joked about them being back to back in a earlier post. Seriously though If this were the case I don't think they should be back to back. Give us non-Smash fans a breather :p


He's so good he's also in 13th place

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/...rs-20-11-voice-your-opinions-twitter-sf4rank/

Top 20 doesn't look too bad but Louffy definitely deserves to be in the top 10 and I think Gamerbee should be out. I don't think Haitani belongs close to the top 20 because he almost never competes. Just my opinion though.
 
Not listing the EVO champion in top 10 (or even listing it as one of his major accomplishments)?

Yup it's an Eventhubs list alright.


The question of whether USF4 will still get played after SFV is a tough one. Most Capcom games get replaced by the next iteration (MVC2 never saw an EVO again after MVC3 same for 3rd Strike). However USF4 is still relatively new because the last iteration just came out. I feel like USF4 will last until at least 2016 EVO assuming SFV comes out early 2016 (according to the rumor) but after that it's anyone's guess.
 
when is sf5 being released? wonder if evo would have both usf4 and sf5.

For the first year, definitely(which I assume is EVO 2016). USF4 will have a sharp drop, but it's not going to SFxT overnight. Plenty of people will still play the game for a little while after SF5 is out. The year after is a different story though. The current crop of USF4 players would have to prove to EVO that they're still playing the game.
 
I just got home and double checked, it's definitely for PS3. This is you acknowledging they existed, ~5 years ago lol
If you're talking about the USB version, those are just branded for PC/Mac, but they're also PS3 compatible by default because the PS3 is pretty lenient with generic USB controllers.

They have identical build quality to the PS2 version, but with the original button layout (no Select button).
 
I think that's going to be a given. And who knows, Smash 4 might overtake Marvel as well. But the idea of having Smash 4 and Melee back to back....well I guess you should either not look at the stream chat or relish in their pain lol.

If they're both in, I hope they are back to back so I can just skip the whole block.

As someone who doesn't play Smash that game is astonishingly boring to watch, like how a lot of other people feel about TTT2.
 
I had a dream last night that K-Brad and I were getting ready for High School, and as we walked out my front door, there's some guys installing a Pawn Shop across the street from my house in our suburban cul-de-sac. Then my little brother(I don't have a brother) comes riding in on his rickshaw to pick us up.

The dream is aggresively interrupted by a pair of actual, physical knocks at my bedroom door and I wake up suddenly.

At 4 AM. And I'm supposed to be the only one here. Took me a good 45 minutes before I decided to open it.

The worst part is, while I was deciding whether or not there was a deranged murderer outside my door, light kept intermittently flooding my room. Joke's on you, aliens. I've seen enough movies to know not to look out my window.

Nah, they came from the dream. I've had that happen before. Heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest for at 10-15 minutes.
 
Karst, not liking the Beatles is perfectly fine. Saying they have always sucked is another thing entirely. Like not liking Marvel and saying "it has always sucked" is not the same at all.

The thing I really objected to was not the dislike of the band but the supposition about the people who do like it.
