Like Smash 4 doubles finished any earlier though (but again that was TOs being stupid and making everything Bo5!)

You sound someone who has clearly never played Alpha 3. Street Fighter changes a lot, dude.
I just play Smash casually but can still immediately feel and understand the difference when playing Smash 4 and Project M back to back.

I was off watching Seattle choke. Did Diddy win Smash 4 yet?
My point was to tell him to shut up in nicer words because every thing is running hours behind from other things running hours behind.

Crowd getting restless during this downtime.
They really need to work on the downtime.

That's really not what people are saying haha.
It's about pacing.
You like camping, we get it, haha.
lmao
I like how I tried to explain it the best I could, but you just said, "nah man, you don't know."
Alrighty then.
You just didn't want to understand. Now I know.

That doesn't change my point. If it's winning him games, then that's all that matters.
and you failed tbh
Yeah, EVERYTHING ran late as fucking hell. They're definitely at some fault here though for switching over to best of 5 earlier than they should have/planned, as well as the excessive coaching and downtime between a lot of the earlier matches. I mostly only care about Smash 4, and even I'm finding this is going on waaaaay too long. Probably doesn't help that I found a lot of the pool and top 16 play more interesting, but yeah this is pretty silly.

Yep, I'm actually enjoying Dabuz the most out of these players.

Crisis hopefully averted but I still think coaching should be banned at this point. That's all they can do. Get those people who AREN'T players off of the main stage!

All is well.
Maybe people can relax now.
Hahahahahaha, that destroyed me.

Only one SF game in history has had a combination of multi-strength supers, access to multiple supers at once (instead of picking 1), custom combos, air blocking, guard meters, and guard cancels. In fact, none of those things have been system-wide mechanics in a mainline SF since SFA3. SF3 was stripped down in number of mechanics in comparison, but the parry system makes it completely unlike any other SF at a tactical or strategic level. And SF4 plays like neither of those games at all.
Saying that Melee players have no other Smash game to go to because of the vast differences between games is valid by itself, but also saying that the differences between SF games "aren't that big" and that "non-Smash players just don't understand that" shows a huge amount of ignorance on your part.
I'm getting ready to just give up, the lack of sleep is finally catching up to me.

You're making an irrelevant point. Things running late? No shit. I just said I want to compare how long the actual top 8's will take.
For sure, just means that Smash 4 might not be as good as I hoped.
Apparently
Ah that was you? Thank you for asking
I also agree with banning coaching. The downtime between matches is the thing killing the crowd.
That's really the worst part of it all. Such a great community (as shown the first day of Apex) yet sometimes there's so much hate.

I think, like Ice Climbers, Rosalina should have her recovery hurt by not having Luma.
Curse those guys for making sure everyone in attendance got to have fun and play all the games they planned to!

Nah I do too, I've been watching Melee for years and years now so seeing new stuff is interesting.
Yup, as someone who has never really played Melee (but have watched it casually from time to time and at Evo etc) but actively play and enjoy Smash 4 it honestly makes me not even want to play the game. The outside perception of the Smash community being very hostile between sub-communities/games is very sadly spot on.
Also yeah I'm out at this point. Gonna go back later and watch the Smash 4 pools that I missed, but this top 8 has been a total buzzkill for quite a lot of reasons, and wasn't what I was hoping for at all for it's first big tournament. Sadface.
I do too, but not when it's boring as hell aka when Dabuz plays
Pools where hype, I think people are/where concern about time. Reminds of Melee back in Evo2014
