mahvel main event!

The torch has been passed. All we need now is Mahvel main event for EVO and we in there.

So whats the deal with this whole ChrisG ragequit thing the stream is going on about?

I want to see this too.

 

[tm24]

Exactly what it sounds like. He was fighting DiosX in Loser's and walked away from the system when his only character left was Ryu with about 1/4 health left in the last game of the set.

that's pretty hilarious

 

[Parallax Scroll]

how come this guy doesn't use his magic powers to win at fighting games

 

[Moaradin]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

 

[Busaiku]

Holy crap.

 

[BY2K]

HOW DOES HE DO THAT!?

 

[Arozay]

The reactions to the card tricks were hilarious.

 

[Neki]

my mind is blown

 

[biosnake20]

that was the most hype shit all tournament

 

[purg3]

magic

 

[Infinite Justice]

LOL @ AJ's reaction

 

[KarmaCow]

Great ending for the first night.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

The chat comments lol! You're a wizard Harry!

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

lol at PotatoHead ragequitting.

 

[Busaiku]

Someone explain those tricks to me.
How did he do it.

Nuke the witch from orbit!!

Card tricks> Both Marvel and AE play.

I don't think that will ever happen simply because Evo will have Japan and all the other international competitors. And that makes it 100x more hype.

Hell, if Daigo alone was at this tournament it would probably still be the main event. But there's no internationals as far as I know. Marvel, on the other hand... we have the best players in the world in attendance. Makes sense to be the main event.

 

[KingofSarus]

I'm so mindfucked right now...

 

[MisterLuffy]

Card Tricks = Supernatural

Pretty much this. Shit is more entertaining when there are international players.

1:25:00. I think his ragequit goes far beyond how people usually define ragequits, and the worst part is that Dios X was sporting enough to give him a pass for pressing start earlier. So it seems he has a long way to go before he's close to being considered worthy of being J Wong's successor.

 

[HardRojo]

Ok those magic tricks especially the first one mindfucked me so badly I don't think I'll be able to play fighting games again, so mindfucked...

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Good call on making Marvel top 16 the main event. Marvel pools had way more hype than AE pools this time.

Any hotel room streams going on?

do you guys think he cried afterwards

 

[Neki]

do you guys think he cried afterwards

that pause was probably an input error I'm guessing

 

[Busaiku]

Seriously, they need to set us free.
How in the world do I know when the stream is over.

 

[dragonballjoseph]

>_>
<_<
It's not hard when you fake shuffle ordered cards
<_<

[h3ro]

Either that or it's his janked stick acting up. How many times have we seen his stick malfunction at Big Two, it's like a weekly occurrence now.

 

[Dahbomb]

It's his stick, it has happened to him a lot at Big 2 as well.

 

[Kadey]

Top 16 for both?

And I'll echo the sentiment that AE is very boring in this tourney due to lack of players in general, not just international players. At least Jlai did his thing. Beasting on all Dhalsim players.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

stream's over for real now

[jwhit28]

Why wouldn't you keep a stick just for competition play? Using the same stick you practice with is like a NASCAR driver driving his main car to run errands.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Anyone got a timestamp for tapebot matches?

 

[Hazaro]

If there are room streams they should be up within 30mins on someones twitter.

that pause was probably an input error I'm guessing

Probably meant to input some skill

 

[El Sloth]

Watching the Skullgirls archives, this hype dude in the background is killing me.

 

[BY2K]

C'mon guys, what the Top 16 for AE?

 

[smurfx]

did yipes mention why he got rid of nova? is combofiend the only nova user now?

 

[Neki]

power of the nova force wasn't strong enough.

 

[smurfx]

http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/302909252

the match with floe starts at 1h:12min in.

power of the nova force wasn't strong enough.

wasn't yipes also using virgil? looks like the power of the girly voice man wasn't enough either.

Yipes didn't get "rid" of Nova. He's still experimenting with various teams and Nova is still in his pool of characters he likes to pick. He has actually been more successful with Nova as of late than his other characters... you can expect to see him used more often in the near future. It's just like in the early days of MVC3, Dante was in his pool of characters to pick in a team but most of the time he went to Magneto/Wesker/Akuma.

AfterDarkGaming is doing another kOF casuals stream in about ten minutes:

http://twitch.tv/afterdarkgaming

Thanks to everyone who watched the 5v5, hella hype.

Nah, it's fake because the KOF fans are hyping up their game way over the top. There's screaming for characters executing a basic throw. I'm sorry, but screaming doesn't mask the fact that the level of play is average at best. I'll get hyped when I see some great/amazing stuff, not standard bnb combos or simple throws and sloppiness. It has nothing to do with the game itself. Heck, even a dumb and broke as fuck game like Hokuto No Ken had crazy hype moment that highlighted great display of skills.

Let me rephrase that, if you think HnK is absolute skill than lol.
