FGW got too real, may Shouta have mercy

This is what happens when you peer into the depths of worldstar, it looks back and takes a bit of you with it. Now it grows and never can be stopped.

Only 9 hours and change left. Place ur bets.

 

[Shouta]

That last page...

Also, apparently the hotel deal is up for Evo but as always, the hotel doesn't really give them a deal. >_>

 

[icy_eagle]

Also probably a good idea if you're transgender to probably not get so upset over other peoples choice of pronouns.

Wow

 

[Beckx]

Only 9 hours and change left. Place ur bets.

Can I have "someone will be mad and registration numbers will be cited" in the pool?

 

[SloaneRisette]

This will totally happen.

Also, I'm placing a bet on "Smash 4 inclusion rage"

I'm placing my bets on Smash 4 being in and Melee out. And it's totally happening. And the salt will flow across the internet and it'll be oh so delicious

[Sixfortyfive]

- Strong chance for no 3D game unless Madcatz/Markman steps up to the plate again.
- Both Smash games are likely. Probably Melee top 8 on Saturday and Wii U on Sunday, 'cause I don't see them scheduling a 6-hour block exclusively for Smash.
- Is EVO sponsored by MS this year? If so, KI is in.
- KOF is out. Doesn't get the numbers and was teetering on the edge last year.
- MKX is in; Injustice a maybe.
- Xrd is in. Who knows wrt other anime games.
- Marvel will continue to be shrugged off as "dead" despite being a bigger draw than the majority of other games that make it in.

[Shouta]

Uh-huh. So basically Alex Strife is accused of:

1. Being a creep

2. Hitting on them

Both of these are not illegal nor did these people choose to block him on Facebook or whatever. If it's really to the point where you feel you're sexually harassed then go to the police. Don't make stupid posts on twitter and smashbros reddits expecting people to go on some campaign for you.

Also probably a good idea if you're transgender to probably not get so upset over other peoples choice of pronouns.

I seriously hope you're kidding on the last part.

 

[Horseress]

BTW, this fine and honest gentleman has stepped down from his APEX duties

10/10

This will totally happen.

Also, I'm placing a bet on "Smash 4 inclusion rage"

Yeah honestly if people don't expect Smash 4 to get in I don't know what to tell them.
Melee is the actual wild card, but I would bet on it showing up too.

BTW, this fine and honest gentleman has stepped down from his APEX duties

Alex Strife stepped down from APEX I see.

Edit: WTF @ the last page. This is 2creepy for me.

 

[alstein]

I'm going to predict 8 games

1) Ultra
2) Marvel
3) Smash 4
4) KI
5) MKX
6) Xrd
7) DOA5

8) fanvote game- which will be Melee if it's a fair vote.

Mr. Wizard's just trying to protect Marvel from dropping to 4th in entrants /s

 

[CountBlack]

1) Ultra
2) Marvel
3) Injustice
4) Budokai 3*
5) Smash 4
6) KI
7) MKX
8) Super DBZ**


*Fusions Banned, Potara earrings OK
**Krillin banned

 

[Shouta]

Did anyone go to Evo 2013 and book the hotel through their deal? I'm trying to figure out if you have to pay the resort fee through that or not.

 

[RockTurtle]

1) Ultra
2) Marvel
3) Injustice
4) Budokai 3*
5) Smash 4

Announcement: At this time, Alex Strife will be stepping down from his duties at Apex. We will be moving forward with Apex 2015.
As it stands Apex 2015 is the largest Smash Brothers tournament ever and the Apex staff hopes to bring you the best experience we can.

.

 

[IronLich]

I think

Ultra
MAHVEL
KI
MKX
Smash
Xrd

are locked in place at this point. My maybe 7th goes to DOA5LR, but I'm not sure if there's enough of a population in the DOA community, and this might be a good "all or nothing" to motivate people to start showing up to stuff again, ala what Melee at EVO did to Smash.

Yamcha the only character to be moved automatically to loser's side.

Now I can watch Apex with a mostly clean conscience

Did anyone go to Evo 2013 and book the hotel through their deal? I'm trying to figure out if you have to pay the resort fee through that or not.

If you don't find out later today I'll ask Dadwicks

 

[Rhapsody]

BTW, this fine and honest gentleman has stepped down from his APEX duties

Apparently this isn't the first he's stepped down according to my friends.

So basically this doesn't mean much to them.

 

[soakrates]

We're setting the bar really low if legality is the main criteria by which we judge someone's behavior to be OK or not.

Anyway:

USF4, UMvC3, GGXrd, KI, Smash 4, Melee and I'm leaning toward MKX as well.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Ok my predictions

USF4
UMvC3
Smash 4
KI
Melee
Xrd
MKX

And a TTT2 or P4AU side tournament

 

["God's Beard!"]

Did anyone go to Evo 2013 and book the hotel through their deal? I'm trying to figure out if you have to pay the resort fee through that or not.

Resort fee is such bullshit. When I pay the hotel, tell me how much to pay. Don't tell me there's another 200 bucks when I walk up to check-in.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I think

Ultra
Marvel
KI
MKX
Smash 4
Xrd

Hopefully madcatz does some 3D side stuff. Or some anime side stuff. Prob some Melee on the side.

 

[Malice215]

I want to say that I'm shocked but I'm not. I first met him years ago and knew right there that I didn't want any association with him, but I guess others put up with him and stayed silent because they cared more about the event.

We'll see if him stepping down really means anything. It's also not the first time I've seen him step down from Apex either.

Hopefully madcatz does some 3D side stuff. Or some anime side stuff. Prob some Melee on the side.

The communities organized tournaments on the side and Markman/Madcatz have been gracious enough to give them support for the past couple of years. Hopefully that continues because these games have no chance in the main lineup.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";148330730]Resort fee is such bullshit. When I pay the hotel, tell me how much to pay. Don't tell me there's another 200 bucks when I walk up to check-in.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I might complain about it this year so I don't have to because I really don't use their facilities.

Though actually, If I'm remembering correctly. Bally's resort fee included 1 wireless connection and all the other stuff, heh.

 

[Nyoro SF]

"Resort fee"? They've got more bullshit ways of yanking money out of you? Ugh.

 

[SolarKnight]

Did anyone go to Evo 2013 and book the hotel through their deal? I'm trying to figure out if you have to pay the resort fee through that or not.

Edit: Nvm I was thinking 2014.

 

[mbpm1]

Well, transporting players though a UHAUL truck is some stupid shit that should anyone involved fired and sue.

Huh. That is hella poverty.

Strife sounds like someone who should not be a TO in any case.

 

[Marz]

We're setting the bar really low if legality is the main criteria by which we judge someone's behavior to be OK or not.

Can you people not read? Never said his behavior was OK, just that its not criminal.

If it's sexual harassment...wouldn't you want the police involved? But Nah now that he isn't the TO everything will be hunky dory and the matter is ended?

Give me a break.

 

[Shouta]

As far as I know, a lot of the fancier places in Vegas have always had a resort fee. But I'm trying to figure out ifi t's cheaper to go through the Evo deal or if it's better if I just bundle it through expedia, lol.

 

[mbpm1]

You just said it wasn't criminal tho.

What can the police do then?
