I'm not surprised at all that Justin is trying to screw innocent people out of there hard earned money

This is the same person who told Capcom not to hire Combofiend because Peter went to Complexity and not EG

Who you guys feel can be behind this? Besides the 3 gods of course. I also feel this was champ idea, as someone suggested a couple pages back.
 
I just saw that if Justin Wong made it if he got 16 at evo in UMVC3, he will not accept any of the Crowdfunding pot bonus at all, his share will get spread out to the 15 players in the top 16.
 
I thought kids just watched anime on the internet. TV is shit these days.

Also, should I buy Yata from Steam or from Humble Bundle? Humble Bundle gives a DRM free version, not sure what advantage it gives beyond that. What say you, FGW?

Crowd Funding is one of those things where I just can't be bothered to develop strong opinions one way or the other.

If people want to see higher stakes at a Marvel tourney and are willing to shell out their money for it? Good for them. I'm not, but I do think it might light a fire under top Marvel players who don't really have other games at high level. Guys like Clockwork, Jan, Kane, Ray Ray, etc.

I like that it pays out to top-16. I like that it's on top of the bounties Justin already put on himself, Chris and Ryan.

Crowd funding in general is such an ingenious idea with so many places to go wrong. If idiots will openly donate to a exploitative and condescending stream personality to gamble away at casinos, anything is possible. A little extra money for Marvel won't change shit, especially after registration has closed. This is so terribly thought out.

I meant how it was being distributed.
Click to expand...

Capcom mandates that the 50k at EVO is payed out to top 8 and is distributed like this

1. 20k
2. 10k
3. 7k
4. 5k
5. 2500 each
7. 1500 each

The thing is nobody knows how EVO distributes the pot from the entry fee and they won't tell. For a while they stuck with the 70/20/10 split. Daigo got 7k the 2009 and probably like 12k in 2010. Things have changed since then, but again, they won't tell us how. We had Xian only get 5500 in 2013 which was only about a 3rd of the pot. And people got upset about how little the champion made.

They could just match the percentage of Capcom Cup's pay out. Their wouldn't be an outcry this time if that were the case because 40% of 22k(about 9k) plus another 20k is pretty good money. But if I were to guess I'd say they have their own proprietary method of splitting the pot among top 8 or whatever it is.

EDIT: Forget what I said, I just now saw the FAQ listed at EVO's website. That must be the first time they're listing it. I swear I've never seen them do that before.
 
To be honest, what I'm looking forward to most in attending EVO are the losers' round matches for quarters/semis in USF4. In the past I've always been tied to my couch on Friday night with Twitter and
poorly informed
James Chen/Skisonic to update me.

I'm going to be patrolling the losers' side and trying to catch as much as I can. That is if I survive the buffet with NWS/Vulva to get there, lol.

I guess the idea is it adds to the excitement because more money is on the line.

Would Evo survive? Of fucking course, but if Smash goes away it's taking almost 4k entries with it. No matter what you replace it, nothing is reaching those numbers.

Who cares. It's not just about numbers. It's also about attitude and community.
A bunch of people threatening to walk out if they don't get streamed how they want, when they want does not scream community. It basically says "does not play well with others".

SFV is coming, and there are lots of other games that have been begging for EVO spots for years.

SFV + DOA, KOF, BB, VF, various DonJon games, possible new Calibur game whenever that comes out, Injustice 2 whenever that comes out...even Skullgirls and Divekick. KI is getting a PC release, so that might increase entrants, too.

Those 3000+ Smash entrants for 2 tourneys can be replaced by more tourneys of less popular, but more cooperative games.

Never think that any particular game cannot be replaced. That's arrogant.

It's because people usually only have enough time to get hardcore into one game at a time. And they would rather get into the one game with the most active players.

That's why you usually see people either play DOTA 2 hardcore or LoL hardcore but rarely both. Way too much time investment and effort just to keep up with one game.

I think they are missing what can cross over into another one and the benefits of havimg more varied connections in their brain. But it's perhaps a result of the sunk cost fallace

It's unfortunate but it's true.

Also, I played through 2/3 of the DOTA 2 tutorial. I knew I didn't like RTS very much before but this point and click system is not suiting me very well. The camera system is also annoying me. Maybe it gets more fun and in depth once I play actual games?

They hotkey and click nature is what made me never get into mobas or rtses outside of dawn of war.

I know that feel. Exactly why I dropped it. :)

If Smash got dropped, or quit in a babyfit, from EVO, I don't think anyone would miss them.

I think it would be absolutely ridiculous if the Smash community wanted to pull out from Evo

But it's still shitty that the second biggest (?) game got an awful time slot for their top 8
 
If a Smash subcommunity pulled out of such a big stage and opportunity because their finals were on a less than preferable day..

..what do you even say about that? Hit the road, Jack. Not like it's going to happen, especially when Nintendo's blessing is enough to have people sticking with it.
