Oh trust me they did the right thing putting it second to last. The most people will be watching and Marvel is hype. The numbers will be something stupid. Sadly SF4 is too late for peak viewers. So this is half legacy and half grabbing the most views for evo.

They did the right thing for SF4 as well, perfect game to watch before going to bed.

How much would MS had to pay to get KI in the Marvel spot? Kappa.

If they keep the stream schedule, it's not too late. The issue in past years has been that SF4 isn't coming on until 11PM EST or later.

Yes, Minions will be able to brag about having the highest view count again at EVO. That I wouldn't bet again even though USF4 has so much momentum now and Marvel in on a decline. The time slot is just too good And just for reference I think if USF4, Melee or even Smash 4 had that time slot they would also have the highest this year. I don't feel the same about the other games though unless they have some really epic shit going on like Blazblue and KOF did in previous years in that prime time slot. It'd be nice if they could at least hold onto that schedule, I'd prefer not to watch USF4 GF's at 1 AM since I'm East Coast.

 

[Tripon]

I think Xrd would clean up in that time spot. Tekken 7 as well.



2nd edit: actually, looks like Go Fund Me shut down the marvel evo account. Sorry for accusing Justin like that.

3rd edit: Justin said he got paid the amount he already raised.

Last year's BB final was hype hype hype.

 

[CountBlack]

Does anyone know if the Bally's hotel has Wifi/FREE Wifi open to the people staying there?

trying to find out a package for the weekend but.. my wallet dawg my wallet

 

[QisTopTier]

There is no way GG wont be hype

If you paid the resort fee you get wifi for one device a day, among other things. I think gym access as well.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Yup, and I had barely seen BB before that.

Fucking amazing

Pretty much all the Vegas hotels charge a resort fee now. That includes WiFi for the room though.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Have they announced the commentary crew for EVO streams yet?

 

[Pappasman]

Yup, and I had barely seen BB before that.

Fucking amazing

You could really feel the emotion in the room. BB was really damn good.

 

[notworksafe]

Yup. The EVO discount code removed the resort fee though, so if you booked through them no free wifi.

And the resort fee is mandatory right?

 

[jbug617]

From what I seen on twitter:

Spooky
Persia
Yipes
Markman
Aris
Xie

Got to assume
James Chen
UltraDavid
Seth Killian
Skisonic

 

[Tripon]

James Chen and UltraDavid are confirmed as well. HonzoGonzo well.

 

[notworksafe]

Correct, unless you booked through EVO with their code.

 

[CountBlack]

Correct, unless you booked through EVO with their code.

Welp, I didn't :/. Thanks a lot for the info

 

[Tripon]

You can claim the internet WiFi wasn't working and complain later in the survey and they will refund you later for the fee. I did that once, but I didn't realize I would get refunded. I was just mad enough on how shitty the internet was to bitch about it in the survey.

 

[Rhapsody]

Forgot to say, Smash 4 doubles side tourney at Evo has Sheik and Game & Watch team banned lol
Community vote ended up somewhat rather close, but people in favor of the ban won.

People got scared of that Vanish Bucket combo after CEO.

Edit: Not that this combo just recently found success at CEO, people have been doing it earlier.

But is it THAT broken?

Yeah, at LVH last year they gave me a really crappy room when I'd booked the upgraded one. When I went back down to complain the clerk swapped me to a really nice room and refunded my resort fee. It was pretty sweet!

As an addendum, what Dadwicks did last year was slip the person a 20 and we got a better room

Dunno if that'll work at Bally's but hey

We got a better room

Yeah that grand final was one of my favorite sets ever. So much emotion

Rip, Rickstah, and BloodHawk will also be commentating.

 

[Fandangox]

Well it kind of centralizes the team's strategy to the same thing over and over again, although I didn't expext it to get banned. It was still pretty dumb though.

 

[Tripon]

Crackfiend and SD Watt are also commenting at EVO for ultra

Fills up 2 levels out of 3 for the bucket. You can OHKO and break shields with it with a huge hitbox.
The strategy is really strong, and a lot of people have been winning doubles with it apparently.

People are just going to find the next best thing after this though. Plus this decision is way too close to Evo.

It's not like people will care about doubles when singles starts that early on Saturday

Yeah, I'm gonna give that a shot this year and see what I can get.

 

[Tizoc]

This is relevant to my interests.

Alas it does not Transform :V

I still think SF4 is a bit too late

If any of the big 3 had that time slot no doubt they'd kill too. They are of sufficient size and hype to exploit it. This being the FGC and their love of tradition Marvel holds that spot until it's numbers become untenable then something else will take it's spot.

SFIV will take that spot next year.

It's not like people are going to forget how to play it and will still be a Top 4 entrant game along with SFV and the two Smash games...

 

[StriKeVillain]

This should be good tomorrow night:

David Philip Graham
@ultradavid
@SRKJD @jchensor we'll have a big #Evo2015 pre-show with guests to help discuss storylines & players in each game tomorrow at 8:30pm Pacific

https://twitter.com/ultradavid/status/619919464654438400

Technically it's not an event but should it be added to the OP?

I was thinking that too with sf4 taking that spot. Sony will be taking over the tourney scene with that one. Hopefully the pay out scales more.

 

[biosnake20]

God damn the SFV Character Select theme is so hype.

 

[Tripon]

In that scenario, I would have to assume it's the NRS game that gets pushed out as the Sunday game.

Damn that is pretty good.

They should really get Ryan Hunter for Xrd because anime commentary is fucking terrible.

What game is Spooky commentating for? I'll go back and watch that just because Spooky's commentary is amazing.

14 years later and I'm still seeing things I never dreamt existed in this game.

I was saying BB is great for ages, yet "ewww no anime"

Such a shame some people felt that way during last year's top 8 of all things.

 

[The Yo Tornado]

So since KoFXIII is side-game status this year, what are the chances of Hellpockets being able to do commentary? I love watching the game but it died out there with the commentators it had last year.
