Another issue I could see is stream monsters AND Melee fans tearing apart Smash 4 if it was on Sunday.
As much as reddit doesn't like to admit it a majority of the people who shit talk Smash 4 on r/kappa are also avid Melee fans on r/smashbros lmao. No fucking idea how that mindset even came to be, honestly just seems like it stems from misinformation from the documentary where once they labeled Brawl as shit a lot of people automatically assumed it was true and as result true for Smash 4.
Game hate is fucking stupid imo.
Edit: Gonna look at the brighter side lmao

I'm obviously happy my preferred smash game got the sunday slot, but I'm surprised they didn't go with the newer game that got more entrants and more support from Nintendo.
At this point in each game's life, I do think a Melee top 8 is more hype (And has more storylines) than a Smash 4 top 8. the latter just feels so young and underdeveloped still. maybe next year will be the right time to give smash 4 the sunday slot. who knows.

I only really care that Melee is on Sunday because I should be off and get to watch it. If I was off Saturday I'd prefer it be then...
Selfish! I know.

maybe that's why it didnt got the sunday spot? melee storylnes are more hype right now and it has big sponsors behind some players (c9, eg, alliance, tsm) so maybe that's why

Tempo storm picked up axe and stole westballz from PEEF. Looks like their some sort of hearthstone and heroes of the storm team.

here's why Melee beats Smash 4 at Smash-centric events but vice versa at FGC-centric events:
to summarize:
Melee has 1203 entrants only entering Melee, Smash 4 has 919 entrants only entering Smash 4 (in fact, Melee has more single game entrants than USF4!)
there are 516 players that entered both Melee and Smash 4
that leaves only 152 players that entered Melee and something other than Smash 4, compared to 495 players that entered Smash 4 and something other than Melee

I want to know how many people entered everything.
Probably none because I imagine there is a rule limiting entries.

There was 1...although since Tekken brackets aren't up yet (or are they now?) we don't know if that guy entered it yet.
also Revven you making the FC Smash tournament thread or no?

Cool stats, looks like smash 4 is more attractive to players of other fighting games or vice versa.
Anyone know any good samus guides, I decided to switch to her as my main.
Yeah, it's fantastic to see 2 of the top 3 games being Smash. We're accounting for like, a quarter of the tournament now, while two years ago we were barely let in at all, and had to prove our worth via fundraiser.Melee still going strong after all these years. Amazing.
I'm more of a Smash 4 guy, but I come in peace
I had some great times with Melee--my copy will never be sold --and I still think it's a better spectator game than Smash 4.
It's crazy how Smash has infiltrated EVO.

I would highly recommend getting there early and securing a good seat at the start of the day. Thats what we did last year and we got in incredible seats.

This round robin top 6 that FC Return is doing is interesting.
that's a nice format for determining who will be 2nd after ZeRo in Smash 4
The Crimson Buster and some of the FC Return commentators were talking about what banned stages you wished were legalized for competitive play. Honestly, I kind of wish Japes came back into the fold, we don't really need another giant stage like that realistically imo, but it has a cool layout and you can do tons of cool shit.
I think I've posted it before but if you stick with this vid...

I ain't even surprised leffens a beast.
I kind of hope with 20XX TE, they get rid of or alter pokemon stadium or alter another stage so its legal and does not favor fox, could be a good way to stave off the creep of 20XX. It'll be really complicated though, since it could end up affecting a bunch of other characters negatively too.
I realized that when Leffen is playing way too good, he starts trying to do moves that he cant even do, and SDs as result. Happened vs Armada at CEO and here
Ya Japes is my favorite illegal stage. So fun.
Lol that sounds like me, except I never play good.
This looks cool, if only it didn't enable fox camping.

Complaints about camping are dumb regardless of who's doing it.

Damn, what happened to the Armada from earlier in the year?
Ya he got hit by lasers a lot when he didn't need to, but he got the job done so i'm not complaining.

stream maxed out at 34k, I'm impressed
also Leffen is entering Evo on a roll

I don't think there were any online brackets for FC. Don't know if full results were posted anywhere.
n0ne is pretty good at super smash bros melee
i feel like if you take the best aspects of each top falcon player and combine them all together, you get a character that approaches top tier. unfortunately, no one has been able to put it all together yet.

exactly
but at this point I feel like that's never going to happen
s2j with n0ne's punish game would be a force
Was gone for July 4th weekend and just caught up to the FC vods. Doubles HBox seemed like he was playing on tilt up until his very last games. I have never seen him whiff so many rests in a tournament like that. Maybe it's all the Sm4sh rest hitboxes messing him up?
That Pokemon Stadium match in Grand Finals made up for it, though. It made up for everything.
