Fighting Games Weekly | January 14-20 | Debate over peaches or ponies for EVO edition


What does that prove, people can make something to parody a community?

I don't want to make anybody stop playing marvel, but what about toys like this? It could be used in the same way.

I think people can hate on the game, but I know next to nothing about how good it is and I'm pretty sure nobody else here does either.
 
Honestly I prefer "team 35 seconds and less."

Seriously in 35 seconds both our lives went from awesome to terrible.

Yeah that does sound better considering our circumstance. But man I just can't stop replaying that moment in my head. Just how could it have happened? As a big fan of Peyton Manning, I've been through a lot of disappointment but somehow this one was more hurtful and devastating than all the other playoff losses with the exception of the Super Bowl loss, but that was only because it was the Super Bowl. It's going to be a long off season and this one is going to sting for a while. I better stay away from the NFL thread and other sports media because I'm sure "Peyton choked" will be coming up a lot.

As for the Hawks, I work Sundays and couldn't watch it. But I kept up with it on my phone and when they scored that final TD with 31 seconds left I thought it was over. I didn't even bother checking again. I couldn't believe it when someone told me an hour later that they Falcons won. Unbelievable how we both went through the highs and loss with less than a minute left. Victory was right there, and then for it to be snatched away like that....I better stop I'm just getting more depressed :(

Same here this one is worst than Super Bowl 40 to me. I don't know why, but it just stings so much more. The 30 seconds is the worst... it just the fucking worst. You know what is hilarious...

- Denver didn't play prevent D when they should have. Denver was up by 7, who cares if you give up yards. Just don't give up the TD. Put the fucking safety over the top....

- Seattle played prevent D when they shouldn't have. The other team is down by 1... you can't give up yards. Why would you give up all that room?

If Denver would just play prevent D, and if Seattle wouldn't have played prevent D both our asses by partying right now. Instead we here sitting all depress as shit....
 
this made me want to play smash bros again. too bad brawl has the shittiest netcode ever.

I thought that was Hungrybox? (Go back to his match that put him into losers, I think it wa VS Armada and look at the face of despair)

This guy's more like the PR Rog of Smash, dat anger.

nah, I think hungry box is the dude that just sat there sad and demoralized. now THAT is the chris g of smash
 
Guys, now that the donations are made public, this will be VERY funny.

Doa5 is up to 1200$ now, just after Melee. https://www.wepay.com/donations/evo2013-doa5

This gonna be good, and there will be blood. Enjoy !

I honestly think this was the worst thing they could have done. All this does is ensures sites like 4chan are going to troll and push MLP through to EVO. Not that I would mind considering I've played the game with the devs a while back and think it's fun as fuck. This just makes it a race to the top now.

EDIT: I didn't realize that the game had been removed. Hype deflated. :(
 
The SNK tournament V-1 Final was amazing, best KOFXIII showing since Evo.

Top 4 was
Two Japanese teams and 2 Korean teams, grand final was between the two Japanese teams.

Korea VS Japan 5v5
Rinomoto defeated three Korean players in a row before losing. Oogosho defeated the fourth. MADKof defeated all four of the remaining Japanese players.

Archive of the entire tournament (2002UM and KOFXIII) can be found here: http://www.twitch.tv/dubsys/b/356850705
 
Pleasantly surprised with how well Skullgirls is doing. It's up to $1,121.22 now. Where is all this support for regular tournaments?!

I just want to fraudulently make top 3 at a local with Peacock/Double again before the xbox patch hits.
You know, I was promised a binder full of Waifus and McRibs for getting Persona into Evo, and no one has paid up. There is no more empty promises!
No one was willing to give up their Waifus.

Thank you man! I now know what do after work! :3
 
One of the donation drive options should have been to get Adam Sessler to commentate top 8 of all the main games.

This doesn't mean anything. Two or three people could donate that amount while fifty people could have made up GG or Melee's donations thus far. Actual numbers tell us more than dollar totals. Just look at DOA. It got a thousand dollar donation from a single source. What are the chances that this source will provide a $1000 dollars worth of people(200 if you go by the $5 minimum)?
People want Skulllgirls to appear in the EVO lineup. They don't want to actually play the game.

This. Ok, money goes to research, but it's still a terrible way to choose a game.

I don't know about that. What gets to me is that player's choice is only one slot. These games are fighting for a single slot. I don't think any of them ever stood or will stand a chance of getting into EVO so... having two slots would be swell for the sake of keeping some of them alive. I can't complain, though. EVO staff doesn't run EVO on hopes and dreams.
 
how is floe still on eg? hes at marn level right now

Marn won the last Runback he went to...... he's obviously not "great" but he's still probably good enough to be considered top 10 in WC ATM, especially now that standards there have dropped.

As for Floe he's there to be J Wong's training partner, J Wong just tweeted that his back hurts after playing 200 games of Marvel straight and chances are he's playing against Floe. And apparently he's playing Nova/Vergil/Hawkeye so I'll expect him to be on a very different level the next time he appears in a tourney, since that team is brain dead but very effective.

What is this, spreading FUD about donation sources? Disgusting. It's not like you can even pretend that you actually know why people donate.

I'll speak for myself and no-one else and say that I am generally ass at fighting games. But I go to locals, I went to EVO last year, and I'm going this year. I donated to Skullgirls, I'll be donating again come next paycheck, and if that tournament wins the slot I'll definitely participate even if the odds of me going 0-2 are high.

Pay attention to the child on the left side of the screen for the Chris G of smash
I was expecting a massive pop off at the end.. But all there was was a hug.

If Smash brings salt like that to Evo, I'm down.
Agreed.

Oh fuck.. Please save us from this, Smash community.

Lol, took me a second to get this one.
 
I hope Chris G dominates Marvel again. Was the last tourney NCR when he went out and broke down? He better redeem himself on the West Coast.
