So where do I see the standing? I don't play fighting games but this is entertaining as hell.

[Professor Beef]

I'll make sure to at least do my part by turning the stream off during ST/SG time. A drop in the bucket I'm sure.

I've got your back, Beef.

...Unless Kusomondo shows up for ST again this year.

 

[MagnetoWned]

Does this end in 30 minutes or sometime tomorrow?

 

[phaonaut]

tomorrow at 11:59:59

Midnight tomorrow.

[Pop-O-Matic]

Okay guys. I found the answer.
Apparently its true. The rumor that is.
One guy is willing to donate up to 50k for ST to get to EVO. That japanese dude we were talking about earlier.

heres the proof

[Lulubop]

Smash or SG are not fucking with that.

 

[Haunted]

Third Strike is going to take this, believe.

 

[QisTopTier]

LOL dat single donator cock blocking communties LOLOL

 

[jbug617]

Funkdoc and Withelde are doing speed runs for ST donations tomorrow all day.

 

[GeoNeo]

The ST gods have awaken in the land of the rising sun

Dude gonna drop upto 50K?!!!

GGs SkullGurls and Smash.

Loving it.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

GG if he drops 50G's for ST. No way the communities are going to make that much.

 

[unreon]

I wonder if EVO will hold another donation drive for 2014. This has been a phenomenal success.

Won't lie though, ST in EVO once again will be disheartening for me. I feel that SSBM/SG race was bringing some diversity to the roster of games. Come on, Melee!

 

[GeoNeo]

I got a feeling many smash & sg fans will claim it was rigged all along if ST wins haha.

This kind of success won't work next time since everyone will know about this and won't donate.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

YOOOOOOO, let's go ST! I'm sorry I turned my back on you, you're still my favourite fighting game ever D=

 

[Wedge7]

.

How does that prove anything?

That guy who posted the original message in the Smash boards seems like he's just making wild claims out of nowhere.

I mean, at this point, you cant rule anything out, but its hardly prove of any kind.

 

[Professor Beef]

The chance of seeing one of my favorite games at EVO being taken away because of someone with more money.

Now I know how SG fans feel like.

 

[tafer]

Ugh... $50k, being honest, I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier. You know, some rich dude trolling all over the place to get his game on EVO.

Oh welp, it was fun while it lasted.

This kind of success won't work next time since everyone will know about this and won't donate.

Unless they limit the maximum amount allowed for each donator. (I don't know if that's possible)
Another interesting change would be to NOT have a known deadline. For example, instead of ending tomorrow midnight, it could end at any point after tomorrow.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

I wouldn't count Smash out even if someone dropped 50k on ST.
100% serious

Even better

 

[Amagon]

It's a conspiracy! The illumitnati is real.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Bison dollars are real, god damn.

 

[Dion Blaster]

This kind of success won't work next time since everyone will know about this and won't donate.

It's amazing that people didn't realize this to begin with. Do they not know how bidding works?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Melee back in the lead. How many hours do we have to go? This is going to be crazy until the final bell.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Melee: $34,522.53
ST: $34,465.00
Skullgirs (RIP 2012-2013): $29,560.00

Now to watch and see if ST has another massive snipe waiting in the wings.

 

[NEO0MJ]

WTF is happening? This is too intense for my heart. Skullgirls losing is a major disappointment, buy SSF2T winning would be an even more disappointing event.

 

[KingofSarus]

Yeah...

buy SSF2T winning would be an even more disappointing event.

...hell nope.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

ST: $34,570.53
SSBM: $34,552.53

 

[tiggerkiddo]

OG's Die Hard.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

Trihex has another thousand dollars set for Melee.

 

[NotLiquid]

I go to bed for a couple of hours and suddenly I miss all of this

What in god's name happened

 

[Duderino]

Hmm, would be cool if it was just a rumor, but the Smash community seems to think it was a real thing. Hence people proposing that we help Smash out.

A few people are confused. Should be expected after what happened.

It's only going to get more convoluted moving forward. Probably best to go by what is official and not concern yourself with the nonsense.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

SSBM: $34,592.53
ST: $34,570.53

 

[danmaku]

It's amazing that people didn't realize this to begin with. Do they not know how bidding works?

Apparently, a lot of people saw it as some kind of election instead.

 

[WesternHeretic]

People with actual careers started donating over people with just jobs, and parents money.

 

[Haunted]

Skullgirls seems done. 5k behind now.

ST and Melee neck and neck.

 

[NEO0MJ]

...hell nope.

Sorry if I think Capcom has too much presence. Besides, SF2 has been showing in EVO for ages. We need some new attractions.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Smash has jumped $350 in the past 15 minutes or so. ST snipe probably made a lot of Melee fans get off their ass.

 

[scytheavatar]

It's amazing that people didn't realize this to begin with. Do they not know how bidding works?

Never quite understood what gave the Skullgirls community the impression that they had a chance of beating Smash, they are fighting against a community that's far larger and more successful than theirs. Expect Smash to body ST easily in the end, hopefully this will get people in the FGC to sit up and notice how strong their community is.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

It's easy to say it looks like Melee will take it, but what if ST gets another snipe? It's anyone's game, even SG's.

 

[TDLink]

Skullgirls seems done. 5k behind now.

Don't really know how you can possibly say anything is done after Super Turbo got to the top in mere hours. Anything can happen until this thing is finished tomorrow.

Can't wait for the $100,000 11:59 PM PST snipe by MLP.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Melee just passed the $35k milestone. It's up on ST by over $550 now.

 

[tafer]

Can't wait for the $100,000 11:59 PM PST snipe by MLP.

Don't be mean with the poor bronies, they are trying to recover from a proverbial meltdown.

I believe in Melty Blood raising $30 more to avoid complete poverty status.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Don't be mean with the poor bronies, they are trying to recover from a proverbial meltdown.

c'mon son

the only reason they didn't win is the game isn't ready
