TOs did a really poor job.

"we are not cancelling anything"... yeah, great idea...

Sound more like an ass now you know. They clearly knew the hotel was collapsing due to the recent snowstorm, they definitely knew the fire marshals were gonna intervene and cancel the tournament and they certainly had a back up spot that was one hour away from the original venue by ride. Theses TOs did a really poor job making this tournament, that wasn't going to happen, a fucking reality. Class act job man.
 
OK, the first match Dabuzz vs Pacman is a bit boring (still I learned a thing or two) but this loser's final was great, why people hating?
 
I can't wait for Project M to pull a magic card from their deck and shows their patch of all the new characters and balances, to truely set itself apart.
 
Curse those guys for making sure everyone in attendance got to have fun and play all the games they planned to!

you can't have everything when everything goes wrong. They lost one day, should have acted in consequence.
 
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.

Oh, I can totally accept that I know little about SF. That's fine.

Your argument doesn't seem to suggest that fundamental movement is different, but rather more or less options between SFs. Smash 4 and Brawl options are gone because movement is fundamentally different.

A close friend of mine is usually in top 10 of AZ for a lot of fighting games and he says he wouldn't consider the jump between Melee and Brawl to anything he has seen in other fighting games, says the closest is SFA3 to future SF titles, but even that is more similar.

I'll talk to him more and see if I can get him to explain it in SF terms so I can be more knowledgable next time I try the example.
 
Sky is not a good commentator, D1 is better for Melee. What happened to the Pool commentators, even the Xanadu guys would be better.
 
The "problem" is that most matches have been pretty even, so they've been pretty long. Dabuz playing a lot more interesting after the M2K match. Let's see how he plays in GF.

...But they are going to have everything?

They're about to complete such a huge event in two days instead of three and without dropping any of the planned events while everyone gets a chance to play the games they wanted to play.
 
Guys. GUYS.

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think APEX, a video game tournament, might run late!

Shocking, I know!

This would never happen at EVO.

Yeah, I'd prefer Nintendo release a Melee HD or Melee mode DLC for Smash 4 instead. For Smash to be what it should be, Nintendo needs to be involved.

GF? Yesdsssss!

Please Zero, quick 3-0.

Haha, I hope so. I stopped paying attention, but I have it on. Ready for some Melee!
 
does anyone know how far FOW got in the tourney?

Lost in pools for singles. Placed second for doubles.

More like they need to be involved if they ever want it to grow without concern of getting shut down by SEGA, Konami, or anyone else.
