mang0 vs leffen is the only one i want to watch
Only thing that can save this is customs being allowed in tourneys.
I won't hide my colors on this: I absolutely despise Brawl and Smash 4 on a professional game design level and can definitely sympathize with those people.

Apex wouldn't be as big as it was this year without Smash 4.

I think WF and LF should be bo5 as well. But yeah, having the entire top 8 bo5 is a bit overkill.
Splatoon.
Why would you do that?

Welp, time for Melee. Oh, Splatoon video, cool!
I agree that there are better commentators, but not that they're "way" better.
My favorite commentators overall, though, were the Asian and black guy duo who called themselves Rush Hour (don't remember their names).

I wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass to unlock and configure them.

No yeah, I know you have to move to function in third person shooters
I'm actually surprised at how smash 4 was played at this venue. It was way more entertaining than it was in previous tournaments i've watched.
Echoing with some of the posters here, the problem isn't the game. It was the downtime, coaching, best of 5 very early on. Hopefully it wil best of 3 till final matches at evo. Overall it was good. A lot of players/characters surprised me, and top 16 was varied so it was good.

i think thats the main problem as well. Having acess to them in the character select screen and being able to customize them fairly quickly was nice but having to unlock them kinda suuuuccckkks
I wasn't implying anything other than the fact it was supposed to start at 9:00 PM EST.
I'm no Melee player and I love Sm4sh.
Why is everybody here so defensive?
As best as I can figure:
- Smash 4 players worry that Melee players will bulldoze their "slow boring game" and leave Melee as the prominent Smash game, shoving 4 aside like Brawl sorta was.
- Melee players worry that Smash 4 players will bulldoze their "old obsolete game" and make 4 the prominent Smash game by footstooling off of the years of work the Melee community did to raise the game's profile.
God forbid they try to actually work together and make both styles of game successful, but it really feels like there's a lot of "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" mentality, which may or may not be extremely silly.

Lol what's with the Melee HD thing I keep seeing in chat?
Part of the message of Apex, at least what I took from commentary today and yesterday, was that type of behavior didn't need to take place and wasn't necessary and shouldn't be there. If anything those shouting like that are stepping on what was trying to be done and the relationship that was suppose to be being built with Nintendo. Let's be honest here. There are some that hate anything that could potentially take some of the spotlight away from melee. Not replace but simply take some of the attention away and live along side it. That's what I've always took as the reason why people were so quick to dismiss Smash 4 when it came out and not even wiling to give it a chance. You can prefer melee. That's fine. It's the outright dismissal of Smash Wii/3DS and the insulting way some do it that is bad. I can't stand that bs.

tbh i don't find smash 4 interesting to watch. Its not that I want it to be melee2.0 (I don't even play smash like that), its just something about smash 4 isn't fun to watch. But I'm not going to boo it off. People thought CVS2 and KOF98 were slow as shit but I loved them.
Smash 4 just needs to more regulations when it comes to games in a set, coaching, and handwarmers.

There's a work-around for unlocking them on a tourney level (though it will add extra prep time to matches), but to get practice with them at home yes, it's quite annoying.
I agree I don't like Melee fanboys they think their game is like the end all be all. Smash 4 was more exciting to watch than their crappy 14 year old game.

I enjoy watching Smash 4 far more than Melee because Melee is so stagnant at this point. You can only watch so many videos of Fox/Falco/Marth/Sheik with the occasional Capt. Falcon or Jigglypuff.
...is a Nintendo announcement still happening?
...is a Nintendo announcement still happening?
This attitude isn't helping.
It's true, but I've got to say it really goes both ways, with lots of people desprespecting Melee and its fans as well: on both sides there's people not even trying to understand the others.
Most of the times it's a shitfest all around.
EDIT: I think the last 10 or so posts, written while I wasn't even looking, just proved my point...
Agreed 100%
Their animosity to anything other than Melee gets tiresome as fuck.
Like who? Brawl or Sm4sh fanboys? Where are they?

Match length in particular is what gets to me when it comes to every Smash game.
Individual matches that last longer than 5 minutes are virtually unheard of in other fighting games; an 8-minute standard for Smash is just nutty in comparison.
People just really want it to happen and we know Nintendo has an HD remake coming. (At least we did a month ago, not sure if that turned out to be just a rumor.)
