Support NeoGAF

[Poltergust]

Even though I don't play Melee competitively, I am totally in support for it being a main event at EVO. It will be the perfect opportunity to do away with the ridiculous notion that the Smash series is not a true competitive fighter.

If it comes down to the wire, I'll donate.

People would be surprised how much mainstream gaming blogs have covered positive FGC stories if they actually read those blogs.

It's still not that much, but I agree. Not sure if it was this charity specifically, but Kotaku did cover something positive very recently, right before I unsubscribed to their RSS. Expecting them to cover every little charity is asking too much though.

 

[notworksafe]

I know it's for charity, but I can't fathom dropping a ton of money on a stick.

If there was a way to buy just the art I would. I can't stand MCZ sticks. :\ (no offense meant, MarkMan)

Being at EVO won't stop those lacking brain cells from calling it a non-fighter.

It's best just to think of EVO as a grand stage to have fun with Smash and witness the best players it has to offer.

If only EVO made people smarter. We'd get ten times the viewers. Too bad it doesn't and won't do anything to change the minds of stream monsters that number in the tens of thousands.

[notworksafe]

No matter which game wins, it'll be a plus for me. If Skullgirls wins I'll have an extra game to play. If Melee wins I'll have a nice break during the finals to get one of those super tall drinks.

Eh, scrubs just repeat what they see from figureheads

A lot of it was fueled by negative stories on SRK, Mr Wizard backing a different ruleset for EVO 2k8 (w/ items), and various other FGC top player misinformation (see: Fanatiq's stream on Monday).

Stuff like that will go away. SRK has started posting positive Melee stories. Wizard has been really cooperative. And top players will see Melee for the game it is.

Melee at EVO will go a long way.

Better than some of the other crazy stuff people spend their money on. I can't help but think of all the crazy pony paraphernalia that bronies buy.

I think the breakdowns on smashboards would be funnier than the breakdown that BrandX would have.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Arcade sticks can get pricey. Priceless pieces of art they are!

 

[Dachande]

I was just looking forward to seeing Skullgirls having a main headlining show the one of the biggest public tournaments for for the first time. I know there'll be a stream anyway, but it won't get as much exposure for the needy Lab Zero this way. It deserves it.

Also, I find competitive Smash boring and will be skipping the stream instead of watching something I was really looking forward to.

 

[SolarPowered]

Without a doubt. Brand has already been cooled down significantly by level headed people on both sides.

 

[aggro crag]

I hope ST comes in and sweeps the polls. That would be fucking amazing.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I hope 3S comes in and sweeps the polls. That would be fucking amazing.

ftfy

 

[aggro crag]

ST is up $10k now. Which excites me and makes this charity race pretty fun. Also, I prefer to spectate ST over any of the EVO games.

 

[Mit-]

Damdai waiting to snipe ST with $30,000.

I support this sentiment.

Ban Chun, Yun, Ken, and Urien (aka the 4 most boring characters to watch), and I'll agree.

 

[SloaneRisette]

MOV will take it anyways.

 

[Kokonoe]

So when does the drive end? What time specifically?

That's not how you spell Remy.

 

[QisTopTier]

Ban Chun, Yun, Ken, and Urien (aka the 4 most boring characters to watch), and I'll agree.

If you ban Urien then you gotta ban oro

 

[IntelliHeath]

I hope ST comes in and sweeps the polls. That would be fucking amazing.

I think I can see that could happens.

 

[Professor Beef]

If you ban Urien then you gotta ban oro

I don't know why, but I like watching Oro more than watching Urien.

Only way in hell I'd ever donate for 3s was if was necro/twelve mirrors only

 

[Nyoro SF]

So you hate yourself that much or do you like to make players suffer

 

[FallingEdge]

Only reason to donate to 3S is if instead of 3S, they played ST instead.

That or 3S with parry turned off and all SA allowed.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

If you ban Urien then you gotta ban oro

Q, Elena, Twelve, and Sean the only characters allowed. All skill, no bullshit, EXCITING!

 

[Gentleman Jack]

So you hate yourself that much or do you like to make players suffer

Smash player, so both.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I'm not a (smash) playa I just crush a lot

Good on Skullgirls, never would've guessed they would raise this much.

 

[Ravidrath]

I really hope we get to make Big Band some day, because Mike says the basic concept for him is "Q, but good."

Good on Skullgirls, never would've guessed they would raise this much.

Neither did we! We're pretty fucking ecstatic at how our fans and voice actors and everyone has come out to support us.

 

[oneida]

If Melee wins I'll have a nice break during the finals to get one of those super tall drinks.

Yeah basically. What a snore

 

[we.are.the.armada]

This should be interesting, I was shocked when they announced they would be doing this sort of thing coming off of EVO2012.

On a side note, anybody know when competitor passes will go on sale?

 

[Terareflection]

Come on Skullgirls!

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Q only,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQh9GPsX9IQ

Well that's what happens when you play Q like most people play Chun.

 

[joe2187]

So this is pretty damn cool

We have the best fans.

half health combos and rounds that rarely exceed 10 seconds put me to sleep zzzzzz! When's smash

Finally you understand. Welcome to the winning team, brother.
