This mentality just leads to a stagnant community and bitterness. Giving exposure to other games is the right way to do things.

MK could just be on another stream, but instead, they're on the main stream where the chat is filled with people who want AE or UMVC3, so now MK fans can't discuss it. That's how it'll always be when you put it on the main stream.
Agreed. Hope they run some VF or GG on the main stream.

I don't mind top 8 of each game being streamed on the main stream on finals day, mostly because the viewers increase and increase with each top 8 leading up to the main games' top 8 (UMVC3 and SF4) for the most viewers.
But isn't it logical to keep pool play of only the main games on the main stream? Isn't it logical to keep the viewers as high as possible and not have them drop off or be hindered by a less popular game?
Yeah. Except it's Capcom that is high on the hog right now so it is okay. But it isn't okay when they were the black sheep for the Halo and Smash crowds at Apex.

It's like UFGT8 never happened all of a sudden...
Do you think that anyone can actually discuss Mahvel or AE properly on stream chat? I pop the chat out sometimes just to make it bigger and I can barely keep up. Go to a forum if you want to good post tournament analysis. I can't imagine that MK fans would want to come here after looking at the this particular page of GAF.
So the plebs can win with their spam? Screw that

Good luck with that lol.
St1ckbug's stream has been dead all day.
This is not a democracy and rotating the games gives exposure to other games and people who go to tournaments. There is nothing wrong with that. Use that time for something else in the mean time.
Your eternal combatant.
I think SweetJohnnyCage did say he'd try to get BB/GG finals on Spooky's stream tomorrow.

That ain't saying much
The best solution is seperate streams for each game running concurrently (in a perfect world). Switching streams to continue watching what your watching is inefficient, but every stream does it because of some perceived superiority of "Stream 1". Capcom streams being grouped is logical, as is ASW games, etc.

Seems like an easy practical solution is to divide up stream time based on the number of entrants. If MK has 20% of the entrants, it gets 20% stream time.

The marvel hype was unknown popping off after him vs flocker mm
FUCKKK MANNN! I would have loved to watch this.
Yeah, I really hope the rumor of unique normals in Injustice is true.
the majority of the time spooky only streams either ae or marvel. its natural for people tuning in to want to watch that. isn't there a spooky type person that streams mortal kombat? why aren't they here streaming it? if a community can't stand on its own two feet then they shouldn't expect other streamers to shove it down the throats of their communities.
yeah sounds like golf commentary.

SFxT is deep. It's too bad people aren't giving it a chance because of Capcom's blunders with block gems working online and stuff.
Uhm, aren't the tourney organizers (LIJoe and SweetJohnny Cage) both MK fans?
So every tournament should have like 4 different streams? I doubt Spooky minds streaming different games considering how pissed off he got at Final Round by all the complaining.

yeah being able to watch all the pools should be what fans of those particular games want. obviously they can't ever get that if all games have to be streamed on one channel. problem is many streamers aren't as professional as spooky so lots of streams end up being awful.
The biggest problem is constant timeouts putting the spectators to sleep.
I have to admit, I still kinda laugh at the "Character is Top 5" joke...
Yes. Though in practice it would probably mean everyone gets 500kbs after the bandwidtch gets divided up.
Right, so what we will have instead is people complaining about all these shitty games hogging bandwidth.
EDIT: beaten

u.s. internet speed and other volunteers are problems too. The technicalities of it might be a problem as well, having a bunch of stream stations.
still, someone dedicated to each major game would kick ass.
if the bandwidth wasn't bad, separate streams for each game would be ideal though
