Thought I would be able to avoid jebailey on the camera during Evo. Guess not.



Probably my fault for thinking that.

 

[Belenos]

Go watch archives of ST Legends. Bring back spirits til AE Starts

Good advice.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

It shall pass through the fire.

Spoiler

:-/

Well when Viscant won last year both Lariat and Phoenix got nerfed.

So magic bullet I guess.

 

[toastyToast]

So Hidden Missiles is the new Phoenix?

lolol

Keep shifting that hate

 

[fauxtrot]

Whether you like him or not, I don't think I've ever seen a pro player put that much of his emotional energy into getting that trophy. I personally think he's a cocky asshole that could be better (and no doubt more well liked) if he didn't talk shit to every player he thinks is lower than him, but we're all human. Now let's get to AE, so I can wash this salt out of my mouth!

 

[enzo_gt]

Larry deserves this every bit too.

Where's Sp00ky's award

 

[bksama]

http://www.youtube.com/user/bksamq?feature=mhee uploading top 8 umvc3 as we speak

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Hahaha, this hanging medals on their necks thing cracks me up. Hahaha.

I love Evo, but this is ridiculous. It's not the Olympics, or the Medal of Freedom. Slap a sticker on their joysticks and give them a pat on the back.

I totally disagree, medals aren't exclusive to Olympics you know? I got a Graphic Design award in a form of a medal back in high school, which I still happen to have kicking around somewhere.

These guys spend probably thousands of hours practising, spending (probably) every cent they have to travel and come to Vegas and test their skills against other international players, and you want to slap a sticker on their joysticks and send them home?

Seriously?

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

No more Snoop, right?

oh crap

Damn, heel for real if that's true

 

[RellyRell28]

Seriously if PR Rog wins Street Fighter then this will be the worst outcome possible for the two main tournaments

Fuck that he has the best chance of any american to win AE. I'll be rooting for Die but I'm rooting for Rog also.

sweet he cheated too. awesome

 

[Owensboro]

Damn everyone. Damn. Lets just hold on for a minute and bask in the awesomeness that was top 8 of KoF, then the insane drama that was top 8 Marvel 3. I have my fingers crossed that AE can top both, but even if it doesn't this has still been the best EVO ever.

I haven't had this much fun stream monstering in a long, long time.

 

[BY2K]

He did?

 

[Amagon]

Spooby won a award last year.

[Dark Ninja]

Great Job CHAMP the guy earned it hes been grinding so hard for a long time at FGTV house. He even got the japanese to come so he can play them ahead of time

 

[atomic moth]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

Whoa. Is that actually true?

 

[AutumnAve]

oh crap

EVO mysteries?

 

[Bgamer90]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

oh crap

Oh snap....

 

[goldlion054]

Couldn't Chris G have used that vertical Doom super after Morrigan's finishing shower too? That super would have done a shit ton of damage on an assist and would have left Chris G in a very favorable position too.

Tough to make that call in a split second, unfortunately. He probably had a million jideas going on in his head and went straight to the one that popped up last or was a victim of muscle memory, trying to save Morrigan

But Chris ran a gauntlet in losers. My god. Justin, Flocker, Combo, and Champ. Very admirable performance

 

[MrDaravon]

Yeah, say what you will about Champ but is not a fraud; his Dorm team is ridiculous and is what won it for him.

 

[Professor Beef]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

oh crap

Even if that's true, there's nothing they can do about that. The players and organizers either catch it, or tough luck.

 

[beyond_death]

Damn, what time is it over there?

 

[SouthernDragon]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

oh crap

Wait, he changed his Dorm assist after winning?

scumbag territory!

[Seik]

Well, y'all can say what you want, but the dude earned it.

The sad part is that its just going to inflate his hungry ego. :/

 

[MIMIC]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

I saw this a few minutes ago! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

lol, I have no idea what this even means

 

[Frantic]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

Doesn't really matter, since it was mainly HIDDEN MISSILES being called instead of Dorm assist.

 

[Ultimadrago]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

WHAT IS THIS?!

Noep, not acceptable.

If this is true, pull his championship.

 

[Riposte]

They pointed that out on stream I think and no one did anything about it.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

Welp too late for that. You have to call him out on that Chris G.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Is the Korean troll from SFIV's finals (Seth player) in the top 8 this year as well?

 

[Onemic]

Fchamp is actually trending worldwide on twitter right now.

 

[sleepykyo]

Well when Viscant won last year both Lariat and Phoenix got nerfed.

So magic bullet I guess.

No more patches though.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

Holy shit, HHH would smile at this kind of heel shit

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

If WWE knew how to book half as well as the FGC, pro-wrestling would still be relevant today.

Some of the best faces and heels around.

 

[Noaloha]

No way I could find the wherewithal throughout that entire Top 8 to even look at GAF. I can only guess at the amount of capslock.

Man. That was intense. There's really nothing quite like EVO Top 8s.

Bring it home AE.

 

[Tobe]

this is me right now

 

[darkressurection]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

oh crap

That's some grimey shit if true.

 

[RellyRell28]

https://twitter.com/Romorazors/status/222186957457993729

Damn then F-Champ is a true heel even cheating.

 

[devastatorprime]

Couldn't Chris G have used that vertical Doom super after Morrigan's finishing shower too? That super would have done a shit ton of damage on an assist and would have left Chris G in a very favorable position too.

This so much. He had 2 meters, he should have DHCed then went into astral vison. At that point he would of died on chip shortly after doom came in.

 

[Grecco]

I really expected Spooky to get one of those cannon awards.

 

[Heart Attack]

FChamp isn't a fraud. Viscant still is, though.

he always was, he got lucky winning it last year. I called it that he will never ever win anything else.

 

[akachan ningen]

they should have given an award to mamespider for getting so far with spiderman.

 

[Rice-Eater]

No combo videos or special videos of any kind tonight?

Awww yeah

 

[Belenos]

So Dorm/Doom new BFFs?

Victor von Doom is best friends with everyone.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

And here I thought I'd be able to go to bed...

Thanks guys!

 

[WesternHeretic]

I hope it's true.... it would be awesome drama if it's true.

PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE.
