Johnny V's going to come in and shut down Mahvel, Nintendo 2013 style
Many Japanese smashers are choosing to go to APEX instead of Evo I do believe. At least I've been reading that for a bit now

I actually really like that Sunday schedule. I'll stream into the ballroom in the middle of MKX and I don't see myself leaving until it's all over.

He'll announce a character before SF4 top 8, more specifically a week before SF4 top 8 at SDCC. The announcement at EVO will be "stayed tuned for more information at gamescom!"
who did you get in your marvel pool?

Didn't sign up for Marvel this year, not really feeling it. Last year was rough and I mostly dropped the game, lol.
Been considering off and on signing up but my pools are all Friday during morning/early afternoon and I wanna keep it that way lol
okay who did you get for street fighter?

Some Honda first round, Gutabo, and Japanese gravure model Yuka Kuramoti
looks like the curse has been broken. are these pools even final? don't they end up changing a bunch of people around?
I don't pay much attention to MKX anymore but Tanya is nifty to just see do things. Cool character.

These are all drafts, so I'm going to reckon more than half of these will change around.
I have CTRL | Unknown first round in Smash 4 so at least one high level player

fuckin' called it, man
Quick I need an excuse to take off Sunday and Monday for when SF4 goes to 5am
So, um, if I were to try and sit down with some players to talk about things for SRK features at Evo, who would you guys be most interested in me trying to talk to and what would you want to know?
I can't like guarantee people cause they're people and have their own agendas, but I will try to talk to a few people and get some fun stuff.

Should sneak an american player to go against Daigo, give him a handicap.Sol's really good and Daigo is a smart player. (interested in what his team will end up being, maybe we can sneak an American in it..... lol....)

Because Wizard's hype is the hype he meant. That and the hype of moneyhats and stream views.
Wonder if he is actually returning to it or just dabbling like with MVC3.
Cause Viewers.

Xrd being first on a Sunday makes sense. It allows for foreign viewers to watch the game like BB last year. I just don't like Marvel being second to last. I thought it was going to be a Smash game.

Wait, did people actually thing GG was gonna be anywhere but the first event or that Smash would be before Marvel or SF?
This is EVO we're talking about, not a local tourney at your neighborhood Gamestop.

Of course not.
It's just always hilarious seeing the justifications.
Where is Tekken?
That's the game I'm most interested in knowing the number of competitors from Japan.

Sunday finals lineup should clearly go by units sold for each entry

Well yeah. Wiz should just says "It's this way because this is the way it's been and always will be. Deal with it." But we all know how well that will go over.
Not in that database.

Oh yes it does. This is the justification for giving Marvel the best timeslot instead of Street Fighter.
It's also the reason why the other games not on Sunday get streamed before.
The funny thing is is that even with KOF having among the highest viewer numbers during its first evo, was pushed to 9 am at its second evo despite having that viewer precedent.
You're better off just saying that there isn't an actual justification for this.
I thought this was Dahbomb for a second

Maybe have them talk about really specific things, like a specific match or a specific piece of tech or a specific process they went through for learning X game. Since it's on SRK I imagine it'll be for a more focused audience. FGC interviews tend to be either really generic or really focused on shittalking/blowups, and while those can be entertaining I don't know if I really need more of that.
Congrats! Would never have thought you were the Sloane I was seeing occasionally on friend's twitter feeds!
Boooooo
can't use viewers as justification this time around, at ceo mkx (2x) and usf4 (4x?) absolutely demolished umvc3's viewership.
I actually think we'll see a massive dip in viewers between smash and ultra.
sucks that once again ultra has been relegated to the worst time slot, and we will once again not get to see it reach its viewer draw potential

Well yeah, I'd like to actually talk about cool fighting game stuff.

CEO is just a (great) tournament. EVO is THE tournament. And Marvel had the most viewers last year @ EVO.

Agreeing with this, and I think how they got into their main games, what drew them into the scene, their first tournament experiences, stuff like that is always fascinating to me.
Thanks

next week :/
smash will almost certainly get the most viewers on the day, which is why mr wizards justification is bs
Marvel has definitely been the most exciting event or tied for being so almost every year I've watched EVO. I think I'd edge it to SF4 either 2012 or 2011, I can't remember which year. Always was great having SF4 at the end so you can relax a bit before knocking out when it's done, because SF4 has been (relatively) up and down over the years. I think it's going to be the best event this year.
That said, I've always been in favour of Marvel on Saturday to close it out, but only if they really dedicate themselves to making Saturday "finals day" in a sense as opposed to running can't make it on Sunday games, which isn't really feasible so long as bigger games will still be running pools concurrently. I'm hesitant to use the word deserve when it comes to Smash finals wanting to be higher up, but it's all in such close proximity anyways it's hard for me to care when nothing is being shafted on Sunday I feel.
