Namco's check must have bounced.

namco isn't sponsoring like previous years

 

[Passive Assassin]

Yes

Don't know whether it will be streamed or not.

I think IEBattlegrounds is streaming ST and SC5

 

[Hitokage]

Or moreover, you can use switchers to do it easily if you're worried aboout down time. It's a bit of extra up front setup but it's possible. I use an HDMI switcher for my basic streaming stuff. A few seconds of black screen before the picture comes back.

Well, I meant at different locations. Just because MK is in the secondary hall doesn't mean that srkevo2 can only be from that hall.

 

[Astarte]

namco isn't sponsoring like previous years

I wonder what happened? Is it because Tekken and SC5 "lost steam"?

 

[Karsticles]

Sounds good, I'll be a bit rusty at first but eh you know my adaption rate XD

Is it high for games outside of Marvel or something?

Well, at the very least you need a capture and rebroadcast setup and people to man the stream. That isn't highly mobile for sure. However, it's not like you can't take one setup offline then bring up a different one on the same stream.

There is at least some logic to it.

If you are talking about Team Nemo, it functions in every order but is the least optimized when Strange ends up on point. I mean there are quite a few 10/10 end game team where if you snap in Doom, it's really not optimized for him at all.

He swapped out Dorm for Doom quite a while back.

It functions very poorly with Strange on point. The team doesn't need to be optimized in all orders, just highly functional.

doesn't zak bennet play firebrand, dorm, ammy? When did he switch out dorm for doom?

A long time ago, and it was a smart change.

I would like to see someone pick up Firebrand/Shuma-Gorath/Skrull sometime. That would be a solid team.

 

[phaonaut]

Well, I meant at different locations. Just because MK is in the secondary hall doesn't mean that srkevo2 can only be from that hall.

With such a huge tournament, I bet once they are setup they probably want to stay that way.

Also its probably not as easy as some are saying just to pop in a new disc, dlc and updates are might not be on every system.

Adding myself to the GAF index just in time for Evo

 

[JDdelphin]

Is it really that hard to say "WB paid for their own ballroom and gave us a dumptruck of cash"?

It's obvious. Why can't people just be straight up?

They paid for it, they're doing a 'presentation' on Sunday [on stream 1, I guess. LOGISTICS] and they don't want to share time with any other games.

Tekken/Namco got the biggest FU.
SFxT makes me sad I can see nothing but finals- especially how awesome everything was UNTIL finals at CEO.

A lot of people are having a lot of fun with injustice, but goddamn...

The WB special presentation is just going to be something like this

 

[Kioshen]

Smash lower on the totem pole than a KI demonstration even with 696 people? C'mon son.

As for Skullgirls... I'm just happy it got any time at all lol.

I'm happy too but I'll miss the finals because they are so late . I'll try to watch it anyway because it'll be on saturday.

Edit* Anyone know how skullgirls run on intel integrated graphics?

It runs smooth @720p with 3d backgrounds on an Intel 4000 + i7 ulv. The engine scales pretty well. It only starts to lag on the boss battle. Ravidrath from Lab0 also announced that they'll do a high res pack that'll include native 1080p sprites for people with beefier machines.

haha when we played last time I stopped playing before that for 6 months already XD

I never played Marvel seriously though so I never got past what you saw in any time frame its always been a pick up and goof around on the side game for me.

I only take GG/BB seriously which is why I'm passionate about them

Though it's not like I can't take that energy and put it into another game if it catches my interest. KoF13 would of been another game I went full in on if the netcode wasn't shit I enjoy SF x TK as it gives me CvS2 vibes though I miss the run from the snk grooves

Spoiler

I like fluid free flowing games if you can't tell, marvel is super janky to me x.x/

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I hate this 2 hit combo video.

What?! Marvel is the least janky game on the scene!

I know you were rusty, I was just inquiring into the adaptation rate.

 

[commanderpepper]

Why?

 

[toddhunter]

This isn't something like a Tuesday night local tournament or VxG, this is EVO. They can sort that stuff out before.

 

[Seasoned Badger]

I hate this 2 hit combo video.

It's good but it's way too fucking long. Just what you would expect from long winded Chen.

 

[Passive Assassin]

RedRapper returns.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Redrapppper!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[atomic moth]

Is he outside an elementary school?

 

[Dahbomb]

This isn't something like a Tuesday night local tournament or VxG, this is EVO. They can sort that stuff out before.

I lol'd.

 

[CookedChocobo]

Oh god, I've completely forgotten about Red Rapper.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Is he outside an elementary school?

Nope, in the suburbs; A place where people can rap about videogames.

 

[atomic moth]

Wait....

Now he's in his suburban backyard.


Aaaand on to the exterior of the local YMCA

 

[Passive Assassin]

He's the second coming of Christ.

 

[Chavelo]

OH GOD, I CAN'T HANDLE ALL THE REDRAPPER ON THE SCREEN. /cries

 

[MiniBossBattle]

OH GOD, I CAN'T HANDLE ALL THE REDRAPPER ON THE SCREEN. /cries

he is like a radio host; the face doesn't match his voice.

 

[Grecco]

Do people legit like Red Rapper?

 

[The Last Emperor]

hes really behind a school lol

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Why?

There's no point to it and it goes on forever.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Do people legit like Red Rapper?

Enzo has all his albums

 

[The Last Emperor]

Do people legit like Red Rapper?

Pretty sure he has uncompromising pictures of every FGC Illuminati. Thats the only logical reason why his shitty music gets so much stream time

 

[Chavelo]

Haha, right after the KOF XIII clip ended, I KNEW it was going to be the MK clip.

 

[commanderpepper]

There's no point to it and it goes on forever.

It's suppose to be fun. I understand if you personally don't like it but, I enjoy it. The music in it is great.

 

[ponpo]

Well as usual looks like people are going to try to DIY 4G stream everything. Good!

Shouta be sure stream EXVS ( ≖‿&#8790

 

[Grecco]

Also i looked at the maps theres no station for Killer Instinct? I thought KI was gonna be playable at evo?

 

[Dahbomb]

Nah that's Triforce. He has dirt on every big player out there...

Or so he says.

 

[SolarPowered]

I'm happy too but I'll miss the finals because they are so late . I'll try to watch it anyway because it'll be on saturday

The lateness doesn't phase me all that much. SG's top 8 will be done in a flash. What hurts is being streamed during MvC3's semis.

haha when we played last time I stopped playing before that for 6 months already XD

Too bad GG's online is shit too. I'd be playing you everyday if it weren't for that.

 

[jbug617]

Also i looked at the maps theres no station for Killer Instinct? I thought KI was gonna be playable at evo?

My guess probably at the Mad Catz booth.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Check out his tweet from yesterday

[Kapwan]

I'm pretty sure it's at the Mad Catz booth or on it's own in the Exhibitor room. I believe Mad Catz is going to have their own stream or some kind of local recording as well since Potatohead is helping them out with something.

 

[jbug617]

I wonder if Sanford is going to rep EMP. I don't know how he is getting to EVO maybe his sponsor came through.

 

[Shouta]

Well as usual looks like people are going to try to DIY 4G stream everything. Good!

Shouta be sure stream EXVS ( ≖‿&#8790

I'll leave that to the gamecenter guys. I don't have a partner for Gundam anyway, so I'm not gonna play it except maybe in casuals.

 

[enzo_gt]

I wonder if Sanford is going to rep EMP. I don't know how he is getting to EVO maybe his sponsor came through.

Triforce probably has 10x more dirt on Sanford than RedRapper does for WC TOs. Loyal man right there.

 

[Grecco]

I wonder if Sanford is going to rep EMP. I don't know how he is getting to EVO maybe his sponsor came through.

I thought Dieminion asked for 1500 for him and Sanford?

 

[vocab]

Sucks about the stream schedule. I think all the games should of had their spotlight on the final day.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I thought Dieminion asked for 1500 for him and Sanford?

It was just for Dieminion, but Sanford didn't want to go unless Dieminion was also going.

 

[Dahbomb]

I think all the games should of had their spotlight on the final day.

With the amount of games that are on the schedule, that would not be feasible. But every game should've at least gotten the spotlight on the main stream.

 

[ponpo]

I'll leave that to the gamecenter guys. I don't have a partner for Gundam anyway, so I'm not gonna play it except maybe in casuals.

Yeah someone said Brett might again so we'll see.

 

[Horseress]

Oh man, this Maximillian video takes me back to the pre-UMvC3 hype...good times

 

[sleepykyo]

Yeah those are the confirmed guys for EVO but it's not all of them.


... Special demonstrations.....

It's time folks. It's fucking happening!

Injustice special presentation and WB exclusive stream; the special presentation is going to be Batman Arkham Origins and PC Mortal Kombat.

I'm happy that a game I would actually watch is being shown, as opposed to having nothing to watch from EVO until a later time? What a shocking concept.

I don't see why the moneyhat claim is such a big deal though. Missing the opportunity to demonstrates that Warner Bros is getting involved in the competitive community while Capcom didn't have the stomach to moneyhat SFxT a second time.

 

[irfaanator]

I bought it, but I haven't played it yet
