Gee, really? They should make Marvel the main event and show it last at 12 am EST.

Give marvel the respect it deserves.

 

[mbpm1]

What about making it first bc it's number one in stream monster hearts

 

[Onemic]

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

That's because marvel always has by far the best timeslot at evo. Sf constantly has one of the worst.

Stream monsters apparently hate marvel now

They say that but then it's most viewed somehow

Conceited with the Marvel hate like clockwork. Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow. These next few pages are going to be great.

Fixed

 

[Conceited]

a lot of people really don't get that going last at evo is not a good thing for both the hype levels and the viewers

people are tired and burnt out by the time the last game rolls around and this was really reflected in the last 2 years

Did he release the Saturday finals schedule? I honestly think there's more prestige in the last couple of spots on Saturday night than on the first few Sunday.

You could probably put Sailor Moon top 8 before Street Fighter 4 top 8 at Evo and it'll get over 125k automatically.

I don't care enough about marvel to hate it anymore, I barely watch usf4 as it is

I like marvel as a game more than I like smash, but the justifications for it going 2nd to last are absolutely hilarious

smash has clearly earned that spot this year

I don't know about that, but now that you mention it KI would have been great for Sunday. Might have switched that with Xrd.

I'd win that free

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax finals on Friday is also really lame, since the hype for that's always been insane since AnimEVO 2013.
And this was even moneyhatted!

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I'd win that free

Unless Spooky takes a break from streaming

 

[Coffeeling]

Congrats to Smedwicks and good luck with the transition! Hope it goes smoothly.

i don't know japanese

When is everyone getting to vegas? I arrive the 14th.

Can't stop laughing.

I like this idea.

didn't melee get more viewers than sf last year?

Replace Marvel with BCV.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Was the gen 7 version of MKX canceled?

 

[Busaiku]

Street Fighter can get more viewers if more US players are in top 8.
So it probably won't get more viewers.

 

[Conceited]

should be melee>4>usf4>marvel at 2am

 

[Horseress]

If Capcom teases a SFV announcement at the end of SFIV's top 8, it'll come close to 200k

I think so.

Edit: Yeah your link confirms it.

 

[notworksafe]

Not officially, but most likely it won't be coming out.

Nah it just needs to be at a reasonable time for the East Coast viewers and most of these savant conspiracy theories fall apart.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Melee top 8 stunk last year. Not a huge fan of Marvel in general, but zero issues with it going on next to last, its top 8 has always been a good show at EVO.

best of luck smedwicks

My pool completely changed from yesterday. Got a japenese and chinese player in my pool and a guy I know in usf4 and in xrd got a japanese named RaiRai and a canadian named paul187.

Safe to assume it'll be Tekken 7, Killer Instinct and Smash 4 based on the pool schedule. But since Smash 4's pools are on Friday, most likely it will get a morning top 8 on Saturday to compensate for the other games being played that day. Not sure how prestigious that will be...especially for the second most entered game.

That's six hours of top 8 finals not on Sunday.

Thanks

Does anyone have a link to the pool searching thing? I want to be able to check on mine every so often

edit: found it, never mind

Did you watch the top8 of some random gamestop tournament or the actual EVO top8?

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Super Smash Bros is also likely to destroy Marvel and Street Fighter.
Super Smash Bros Melee got like 120k for Apex, didn't it?

It sure didn't at CEO. SF4 views bopped everything last weekend. By a lot.

But, who cares.

EVO is the house that Street Fighter and, to a lesser extent Marvel, built. Nintendo didn't even embrace the FGC until, like, this year. That would be BS if games and companies that have been helping EVO blow up over the past 6 years just got tossed aside because Nintendo finally sees the light and agrees to play along.

EVO is even this huge because of SF4. That fact cannot be argued. Street FIghter should always be the main event as far as I'm concerned, no matter what entrants, views, sales, or whatever turn out to be for other games.

[SloaneRisette]

Viscant faces someone called "Animefreak" first round in Marvel

So fitting.

Everyone he faces should change their names to anime

Good idea. There are five people who registered with a GAF tag but obviously plenty more are going

 

[phaonaut]

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.

Definitely not 2012, that was infiltrations year of domination, while interesting it was not exciting. 2011 had some great moments, like diago vs poongko.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Everyone he faces should change their names to anime

but wouldn't that just strengthen his resolve and make for a more difficult opponent?

 

[oneida]

was Latif 2013? that was fun

Isn't Guilty Gear Xrd his main game now.
Doesn't he play Elphelt.
